Two young Ravens offensive tackles make the most of expanded opportunity
In the wake of Kendall Lamm's retirement, Jesse Minter highlighted two young Ravens after both handled significant workloads against the Eagles.
The Baltimore Ravens recently welcomed news of veteran offensive tackle Kendall Lamm's retirement, which opened up opportunities for younger players on the line. Among those who stood out were tackles Carson Vinson and Gerad Lichtenhan. Following Baltimore's preseason-opening win against the Philadelphia Eagles 24-7, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh praised the young linemen.
"They did some really good stuff," Harbaugh noted, acknowledging their strong performance in both run blocking and pass protection. Harbaugh's comments highlight the pressure on young players in the Ravens' culture, as they are expected to not only survive but excel under increased workload. Vinson and Lichtenhan showed promise in handling their responsibilities, earning praise from their coach.
With Lamm's departure, the Ravens' offensive line depth has significantly improved, and the young tackles have clearly made the most of the expanded opportunities presented to them.
