Mike Flynn
If starting center Mike Flynn struggles early in the season, look for the Ravens to insert second year guard/center Jason Brown, out of the University of North Carolina. Brown has had a good preseason, and the Ravens like the nasty attitude he brings to the offensive line. He is a decent athlete and versatile. Flynn has struggled the last two seasons, but the Ravens were obligated to him contractually. Also, don't be surprised if the Ravens put backup guard Brian Rimpf on injured reserve. Rimpf has been hampered by a hamstring injury since the first week of training camp. Last year, the Ravens were hesitant in switching offensive linemen. They won't wait this time around because a lot of the younger players got playing time last season.

If Brown is Flynn's replacement why are the Ravens only playing him at guard? Even when Flynn's not in they still don't play Brown at C.

Hopefully they will yank Keydrick "I like to wine when I miss my blocks" Vincent and put Chris Chester in.

Well, it looks like the Ravens are actually going to win a road game, even if it's only preseason! Lots of things about which to feel pretty good. I think both Brown and Chester have good potential, and Ogden looked much better this week. The O line may be serviceable after all. I still worry a bit about the D line, but I have to say I'm pretty excited about Landry in the secondary. Bring on the regular season!
