Ravens fans in the comments didn’t like him leaving so that encouraging.

Eh, I understand we've asked him to change his first name to Won't.

I tend to trust the Ravens talent evaluation staff, so I'm assuming Holdin is probably better than either Clark or Green.

So where does Holden stack up to comparisons on Prince Tega Wanogho from the Eagles @EastStreet? Those of you who like the oline players @Coffeedrinker and @krunk maybe? Who has thoughts comparing these two? TIA

 

wow, already 7 teams for this Holden guy and he already was in our system a few years back for some period of time. Likely just a body then and no better than what back ups we currently have. Crud!

Nice to have Costanzo practicing again. Big for our O-Line, and chances of beating the Raiders Sunday if he plays.

 

On a side note: I wonder if Holden plays Holdem? haha 

Only in Texas.

 

On the Holden note: does he have to quarantine for 2 weeks before entering the building?

I'm not sure. I'm guessing no if he has no symptoms of the Virus. However, if he does, it might mean it's a sign that Constanzo will 100% play Sunday. Just a theory.

Holden was taken off the covid list I think by the ravens before this happened.  He might have to go through six days of testing first. Unless he has already been doing that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll play Sunday. If not, then you can bet Constanzo will 100% play. Ballard isn't going to leave Green in as the starter with no backup.

I was right the ravens took him off the covid list yesterday. So that means he has had consecutive negative tests. So maybe he will be activated for Sunday.

So....    If I follow you......

 

You trust a guy who is on an NFL practice squad here in week 14 over two players who have spent years in NFL 53-man rosters?!?

 

Oh-Kayyyyyyy!!         :peek:

No, not trust the player.  I trust the Ravens.  But that was just off the cuff since I know nothing about Holdin.  I assumed that he was a recent Ravens draft pick and hadn't bounced around the league.

Not to mention a guy the Colts let go of when they had one of those two guys.  I think this what we call wishful thinking.

He’s not.  He actually spent some time with the Colts in 2018 which is why I assume they brought him back.  In theory he should at least know a little of the Colts system compared to someone else.  Again the best thing here for the Colts is AC to get healthy and Green and Holdin to never start.

After a very quick look at his history, yea, pretty much an emergency body. His PFF is very limited, but very meh. 

I don't think there's much of a comparison with PTW to be honest. PTW was one of the better OTs in the SEC, and on a team known for good OLs (IIRC, he was 1st or 2nd team). Holden is from Vandy, and without much fanfare. The frequent hops say a lot.

I don't know. I think Jeff Saturday was cut by the Ravens and turned into a halfway decent center for us. There have been a few cases of teams making mistakes on players in the past. We can always hope he can help.

I thought Green played fairly well in the first half.

 

Although the pass rush definitely got after Rivers in the second half

    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
    • He could feel that he needs Paye to develop into a more complete edge rusher. He keeps promoting that he was great as a run defender, but needs to continue improving. He invested a 1st on him, so he could very well want to retain him. My thought on drafting an edge rusher at 15 is that it works as a hedge in the event you don’t retain Paye or if the player shows far more promise than Paye moving forward. My comment about Pierce is that he invested a good draft pick on him- so the argument could be made that had Pittman walked, he would have Pierce (although we all agree that Pierce hasn’t performed like we hoped, nor would he be a wr1 by any means). He would have options this draft had Pittman not worked out.   The idea was more behind longterm planning when Pierce was drafted. Keep them coming in the pipeline so that you have options, and ideally good ones. Remember when Phillip dorsett was drafted? Many thought at the time the idea was to add to the room and hedge in the event TY walked when his contract was up. I’m not opposed to looking at stacking premium position players in the 1st round. That provides depth at the position short term and options longterm. It lessens the burden on a 1st round rookie at those positions, giving them time to develop. 
    • Crazy that the draft is a month away coming up on us quickly.
