Well, it was fun while it lasted.
It appears as though Baltimore Ravens FB Patrick Ricard was no better along the offensive line than his Pittsburgh Steelers OL Kendrick Green, with whom the team has been experimenting with playing fullback.
Returning from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List recently, Ricard spent his first week of practice lining up with the offensive line, seemingly in response to offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s new offense in which the fullback position is expected to be less prominent. A week later, he is done with that—at least for now.
“I think he wanted to get a feel for some of those blocks”, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Tuesday, via the team’s website.
