True but I also think our RBs don't always pick the right holes, or get to them quickly enough. On top of that our run blocking scheme is poorly designed and needs an overhaul in the offseason.

We also run a whole lot up the middle and relatively little to the outside which given our personnel at RB feels less than optimal.

Steele’s injury has taken away whatever made him a special run blocker. Martin’s just aging.

Wouldn’t mind finding a nasty center in the middle rounds

Steele was never special at anything. Some of us were overrating him, similar to Gallup. Steele had a good year last year but beyond that he's out more mediocre on tape than good.

I would not mind an upgrade at center at all. I don't think Biadasz sucks but I don't think I would put him in the top third (or maybe even half) of the league either.
 
On another note, this Ravens-Dolphins game should be really good. I've never liked Baltimore, but I have to go for them. Last week turned me almost into a Miami hater. Hope their defense shuts down Capri Pants' offense.

And of course Go Cardinals.

I'd bring back Biadasz depending on what he'll take simply because I don't really want to replace 3 starting OL in the next year or two.

Steele can be easily cut after next season, which I assume will be the case, then you have Martin and Tyron who should be done in a year or two, and Biadasz would make four.

I think Bass might be able to fill one of the OG spots and Tyler obviously has one spot locked down whether it's LT or LG, but aside from that we'd need 3 new starters in the next 2ish years. And obviously that assumes Bass is a long term starter.

I think I'd bring Biadasz back up to about 8/year.

Even Jerry Jones could not shine up this turd enough to try to peddle him.

I'm just looking for a backup OL or some sort.

Mazi's still young and raw enough to play up the "potential" angle.

Steele will be fine a year further removed from the ACL.

I'm more worried about Martin. He hasn't had any major injury, but he's fallen way off. If it's just Father Time, that can't be overcome so easily.

That is plain dirty.

The NFLPA already has a cease and desist of sorts out on the Broncos for trying to do something similar with Russell Wilson.

I assume Brown's case will eventually cross their desks.
