If I was Lamar I'm calling in on Sunday, I'm sick got the flu until 77 gone😂😂😂

[@TheEclipxi]

A quarter of a billion dollar QB protected by this ensemble. When he gets hurt? I have no words for the recklessness of those who decided that this was the best course of action. Bringing in Henry with no blocking was redundant. It just sickens me.

[@Black_Daniels]

So what you're saying is, the coaches are stubborn and blind. Got it

[@johnparsons1466]

When Lamar has been injured it's been in the pocket. Leaving your $260M franchise QB unnecessarily vulnerable is coaching malpractice. If he beat out Cleveland, then a trade needed to be made, and still does, but instead they go and get Wormley? smh

[@txlowhandexpress]

This decision to play faalele at guard is going to cost harbs his job with either Lamar getting hurt or the ravens not making it back to the afc championship. Which it’s mind boggling to see. They keep rotating Roger and Patrick when Patrick gets whipped like a government mule against good pass rushers. Roger might of gotten beat once by Chris jones last week but that was the last time he did that game. Roger held his own this week against max. Faalele is a tackle not a guard he can only handle bull rushing style well due to his over all size however as big as he has a he can’t blow people of the ball, pull very well or reach block on zone runs or get to the 2nd level, Ben can at least move. Now vorhess has been a work in progress but keeps getting better every week and should be fine.

[@BRockin25]

they know Roger is better but he's also a rookie so they are easing him into the permanent starter role

[@txlowhandexpress]

@@BRockin25 easing him in is just going to get Lamar beat up. IMO let him start and play he will be fine and looks a lot better then mekari.

[@BRockin25]

​@@txlowhandexpress I'm not defending Harbaugh, he isn't good, but its hard for me as an outsider to tell how a rookie should be handled. They probably want to keep his confidence up and let him get a handle on all the defensive calls. Mekhari has more experience and probably has value in guiding Faalele. Having 2 rookies on that side could hurt Lamar even more.

[@txlowhandexpress]

@@BRockin25 faalele isn’t a rookie. Having both him and Patrick is an issue for Lamar.

[@BRockin25]

@@txlowhandexpress my mistake. Faalele isn't a rookie but he is out of position and clearly struggling. I don't think it will be long before Roger starts but I think there is a method to the madness.

Thanks Cole, I was telling everyone in our chat that he's whiffing waaaay too much and he's not picking up stunts well. We have Cleveland, Mekari and Jones. Try someone else before Lamar is hurt.

[@patbaptiste9510]

While they're at it, they need to fix the edge blockers too. This last game revealed *ZERO* edge blocking.

[@jayrule6318]

What I don't understand is those stunts are the same type we use last year so he should have seen them before. Second thing speed rush is a thing as a LT or RT. If he is this slow as a G then he is that slow as a T.

[@QuothTheRaven_89]

Faalele reminds of these people I see trying to walk their enormous dogs that don't know how to walk with a leash. These D linemen and edge rushers just pull him along en route to wherever they want to go. The difference is, the people I see getting walked by their dogs are usually smaller. This man is almost 400 pounds and like 6' 8" and he's being owned by smaller men. He's the biggest guy on the line and it's like he's not even there. HOW?!

[@rikidiz]

Ugh 😩 this is straight facts and it hurts! John claims he won the job to get dog walked 🫤

[@nikop951]

First Cole thanks for this film study Second is so frustrating that everybody see this and Harbs is like nee this is growing pains, I hope that this cost Harbs his job l

[@K4leel]

I don’t understand how John sees this and still wants him in

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Even if Cleveland’s somehow worse than Faalele, start Mekari at RG. Roger’s already looking better at RT, no need to rotate there. OL depth won’t mean shit when they’re 0-6 and miss the playoffs.

[@midnightjay1343]

Either Mekari or Cleveland needs to be at RG and leave Roger at RT and let him take all the reps there. Rotating tackles last year made sense cuz guys were nursing injuries, but it makes zero sense now

[@jamesstrom6991]

what i dont get is faalele had some nice games at tackle last year.

[@brianspar9431]

Great show. He did much better against KC. I wonder if Raiders watched Faalele against KC and saw something they could take advantage of

[@RoadGradersFB]

They just used a lot more line games. KC used a lot more straight up 4 man rushes. The line games, and the athletiicsm required to play with quickness didn't test him as much as the Raiders did

[@brianspar9431]

@@RoadGradersFB If Faalele continues to play he will see lots of line games- not optimistic. I'm afraid Parsons will destroy him

[@paulcarlini5893]

The fact that John is stubborn enough to keep him in there because his ego won’t allow him to let Cleveland play is a fireable offense. Literally costing us games. Yes we have played poorly and the O line will be a weakness all year but we would be 2-0 with better coaching

[@mahatmasloth6543]

Faalele isn't ready yet. plug Cleveland or Makari @RG, start Rosengarten and give him TE/RB help while he gets settled throughout the early season. I think Faalele still has potential but id put him in a fitness program designed to lose some weight and get some quick twitch... maybe throw some martial arts in as well

[@vichatchett9002]

#77 couldn't block traffic in a school zone 😂

[@nickjohnson3591]

Idk line play. Does he have some great upside or something I’m missing? He’s obviously big and I guess that’s a plus but if you are whiffing on 1/3 of your passing downs then you can’t be on the field.

[@BRockin25]

He's not good but they see value in him as a run blocker. Of course, then they don't run the ball

[@TheRealYungZulu]

Becton would've been a good pickup for us 😔

[@alldayeverydayj]

move 65 from Tackle to Guard

[@extrilaquistt]

I think the team was banking on Joe D to get the o-line calibrated, and it’s taken a toll on the players emotionally and playing-wise. I have faith we find our rhythm

[@rikidiz]

Please tell me how you can find a rhythm with a person who doesn’t have the physical skill set or technique for that position? It is being shown on film his limitations. It’s being explained by Cole. Please tell me how Faalele is gonna get better? I would love to have your optimism. I believe the only thing that will happen is Lamar will get hurt or he will be running and scrambling 16 times for his life like he was in the first game.

How can you watch the All 22 as a coach and say yea this is our best option😂😂

[@PurpleRanger08]

It doesn’t seem like there is any accountability with this team and it starts with the head coach. The Raiders benched their LG during the first half. They put him back in during the second half but at least their head coach saw the player wasn’t performing and tried something different.

[@BRockin25]

Mark Andrews should have been traded in the offseason to patch up the O Line. No knock on Andrews.

Where is Offensive lineman Josh Jones - least mentioned guy on the team - is he worthless? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@chimzichuku4757]

Someone needs to usurp Harbaugh's decision to start Faalele and start Cleveland instead man. This is horrible coaching in my opinion. It doesn't matter if Ben Cleveland didn't "meet" your "standard" in practice at this point because: 1. He overexceeded those expectations in-game 2. the one starting over Cleveland is clearly not meeting that expectation in game It's hard to support Harbaugh when he makes decisions like this when he could do everything in his power to make sure the best line is out there. I think what often skews his decision making is the fact that we have the best mobile quarterback in NFL history so he can mitigate a lot of the issues. In my opinion, that is not good coaching at all.

[@troysprings9113]

Faalele has the slowest feet in NFL history and if the ravens continue to start him they deserve to lose every game he's in. Everyone one the planet can see faalele is trash I was saying this last year but idk if Ben Cleveland and John harbaugh got into it or whatever but he is better than faalele
