There must surely be days in which the Baltimore Ravens are sailing on a ship that is doomed to sink. They try to plug one hole and another one appears. That is what has happened along the offensive line over the course of the past two weeks, in particular, during which they signed one presumed starter, only to lose another.
Having already lost or parted with two of the five offensive linemen that served as their primary starters during the 2016 season, the Ravens had not done much to fill the holes left in the starting lineup, even if they did use a pair of draft picks in the middle rounds on linemen.
