One day after coach John Harbaugh called out the offensive line as a disappointment, general manager Ozzie Newsome pulled the trigger on a trade for left tackle Eugene Monroe. Now that the offensive line has been addressed, Harbaugh's next priority is getting Ray Rice on track after the franchise back averaged just 3.0 yards per carry and 4.0 yards per reception in the season's first month. "We need to get Ray involved in every single way," Harbaugh explained Wednesday. "Passing game, run game, every single way. It's definitely important for us, we want to do that every week, and obviously we did not do a good job of that on Sunday." Source: NFL.com SteveRobWhatever's Take: Rice has been a major disappointment so far this season. 30 carries for 89 yards in three games is not going to get the defense loosened up for Joe Flacco to hit downfield. Rice is too important to forget, and the Ravens need to feed him the ball however they can if they want to turn things around. Now it'll be up to the revamped line to open up the holes for Rice to gash defenses.
absolutely if they can get their o-line producing better and get rice going, it will instantly cure their offensive woes and they will be a dangerous team again.
