I mean TNF usually gets the 5th or 6th best game at best. Meanwhile the SNF game is 2 big market teams in a rivalry division game (that will get ratings) and the MNF game is the reigning Super Bowl champions against a lot of people's sexy pick to go to the Super Bowl next year with the QB...
We do not know if both G spots have been upgraded. We know one went from bad to mediocre and the other is a 1st round rookie. Maybe he is good. Maybe he is no better than what existed last season and is bottom 5. He has 0 NFL snaps so I am not willing to say one way or the other. I do know...
I mean I think its bold to say the OLine will be better because they signed a mediocre starter and drafted a rookie but lost a top 5 C. If the OLine is as good as last year that will exceed expectations.
He has played 5 full NFL seasons and is entering year 6. Its past the point where "flashes" are okay. Either he has it or he doesn't and if its the latter its time to move on.
Having a deal and someone backing off is a different kettle of fish then the coach pushing for a particular player instead (though I would have taken Bain). Though considering the Ravens pick and the next 2 were the players they seemingly wanted... its probably for the best they did not make...
I mean the first 2 picks were 2 places they needed starters at and then next ones have been for areas where the Ravens needed depth. I dont know how they will pan out but if you listed the needs before the draft then this checks them.
If there was a single player available who could fill those holes on day 1 they would have been drafted by now. There is not a day 1 starter available because those are taken in rounds 1 and 2.
I mean that's mostly because the picks the Ravens made left. You cant expect to fill holes with day 3 picks. You try to find prospects who can hopefully provide solid depth and if you are lucky they can compete for a starting job in 2-3 years.
The funniest part to me was the GM having the reaction "its just words on a piece of paper". Those words are basically the contract that guides the team so its a little more than just words.
Edit: also its not that uncommon as others have noted. When you are a consensus top 5 coach you can...
