Changes could be coming to the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive line in week three. Given how weeks one and two went with the offensive line, many Ravens fans would welcome some change.

We’ll see what Harbaugh does on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, and he’ll no doubt keep his cards close to the vest until then.
However, the second-round pick out of Washington has made his case and done so very clearly.
