Ravens Nation™

I am all for moving on from EDC and bringing in a new mentality at GM, but here’s the thing: 1. EDC offered Linderbaum a record setting deal but the Raiders unreasonably offered him 10M more than the highest paid center which was far more than the Ravens could offer. 2. EDC took some of the money, and put it toward John Simpson, one of the best available free agent guards in a lackluster market. 3. DeCosta selected Vega Ioane with his 1st round pick, who’s been an absolute stud so far in his career. 4. EDC then signed 3 good centers to take over and compete at the position, whom all ended up suffering season ending injuries. 5. He traded for an All-Pro center to solidify the offensive line. 6. In Jurgens first game as a Raven, EDCs 1st round guard Vega Ioane suffered an injury. 7. In Lamar’s first game back, Vega was an inactive due to his knee injury. It’s very easy to say EDC didn’t build a competent OL, but there really isn’t much more EDC could’ve done in a singular offseason. The injury bug just hasn’t been on our side.
