He told reporters, \u201cI\u2019m just going to look to keep coaching the guys and keep getting better with the guys. I\u2019ll look at the tape and we\u2019ll see. We\u2019re always going to play the best players, that\u2019s always a part of it, if that is what your question is. We\u2019ll always do that,\u201d per\u00a0Ravens Vault co-host Sarah Ellison.<\/p>\n<p>John Harbaugh was asked if he would consider a change at the offensive line: \u201cI\u2019m just going to look to keep coaching the guys and keep getting better with the guys.

We\u2019re always going to play the best players, that\u2019s always a part of it, if\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh isn\u2019t about to take drastic action even though star quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u00a0was besieged by pressure at times against the Silver and Black. It marked the second game in a row a new-look O-line struggled to keep the pocket clean, a major reason why the Ravens are 0-2 to start the 2024 NFL season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>John Harbaugh Blasted for \u2018Failure\u2019 Along Offensive Line<\/h2>\n<p>The offensive line always looked like being the Ravens\u2019\u00a0biggest weakness\u00a0after three starters joined new teams in free agency. Right tackle\u00a0Morgan Moses\u00a0and guard\u00a0John Simpson\u00a0signed with the\u00a0New York Jets, while veteran Kevin Zeitler joined the\u00a0Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Losing so many resources surprisingly didn\u2019t prompt Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta to recruit proven replacements. Sticking with what they had now looks like a reckless gamble.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As Ellison\u2019s co-host\u00a0Bobby Trosset\u00a0put it, \u201cJohn Harbaugh had the audacity to defiantly respond to those who questioned (fairly) his offensive line after the Chiefs loss. He can play that game all he wants. The unit isn\u2019t good enough &amp;\u00a0Daniel Faalele\u00a0is a bona fide liability.

The group lacks pedigree because Vorhees is a former seventh-round draft pick, Mekari is undrafted and Faalele is a fourth-rounder.<\/p>\n<p>Faalele was exposed in key moments against the Raiders. Like when three-time Pro-Bowl defensive end\u00a0Maxx Crosby\u00a0fooled him with a stunt to get to and flatten Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>Poor footwork from Faalele was cited by\u00a0Kevin Oestreicher of Ravens Wire\u00a0as the main reason for the Ravens surrendering this pivotal sack.<\/p>\n<p>A play like this is why\u00a0Ellison renewed her call\u00a0for 26-year-old\u00a0Ben Cleveland\u00a0to be given a starting role. Cleveland has experience, but has struggled enough times to be\u00a0considered potential trade bait.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-5 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Ravens won\u2019t want to shift any viable linemen now. They\u2019ll also hope one newcomer can continue to make a positive impression.<\/p>\n<h2>Ravens Need to Give Rookie a Longer Look<\/h2>\n<p>A mid-game change at right tackle provided some hope the Ravens can improve up front. It involved\u00a0Roger Rosengarten\u00a0replacing Mekari on the edge, and the second-round pick in this year\u2019s draft performed admirably.<\/p>\n<p>The rookie\u2019s performance drew praise from\u00a0Baltimore Beatdown\u2019s Kyle Phoenix, who couldn\u2019t \u201chelp but notice Crosby\u2019s hasn\u2019t been the same game-wrecker since rookie RT Roger Rosengarten entered the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trusting Rosengarten with more work can help solidify the line and prevent it from becoming a fatal flaw for the Ravens. The assignments will get tougher, with the Dallas Cowboys and a swarming pass rush led by Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence on deck in Week 3.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_6\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\">\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\">\n<p>Harbaugh needs to find a better formula in front of Jackson before the trip to AT&amp;T Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Harbaugh made a statement about the struggling Baltimore Ravens offensive line after Week 2.
