J.O.
I think second-year offensive tackle Adam Terry will do a respectable job Sunday against the Steelers if starter Jonathan Ogden can't play because of a toe injury. Terry is soft, but mechanically sound. The biggest concern is that Terry will be matched up against outside linebacker Joey Porter. There is little doubt that Porter will take a couple of cheap shots at quarterback Steve McNair. With Ogden in the lineup during the Ravens' 27-0 win Nov. 26, Porter never got within a sniff of McNair. This time, McNair will be fair game with playoff time closing in.

Don't you ever worry that one or more of the Ravens will kick your butt? I am scared for your sometimes...like calling a lineman "soft" in public. What is he decides to prove you wrong...in person?

As much as I hate to see J.O. miss an important game like this I'm anxious to see Adam Terry play again. He's been in the system nearly two years now and has played sporadically. The Ravens traded up into the 2nd round of the '05 draft to get this guy. So its time to see what Terry is really made of. Does he have a future as a starter on the offensive line? Has he learned the calls and counts on the line? Will Terry be able to handle an agressive defense like the Steelers on the road? These are all questions that need to be answered, and soon.

What happens if Terry or Pashos get hurt at Pittsburg? Can Chris Chester back up at Tackle also?
