Not to be lost in the in the flurry of yards and points the Ravens racked up in the first two weeks of the season was the play of the offensive line, which allowed only two sacks and paved the way for Ravens running backs to rush for 298 yards. The line's superior protection of QB Joe Flacco was particularly notable; he is not especially mobile, and the Ravens clearly plan to let him throw more than a season ago. Flacco, sacked 32 times as a rookie, has proven that when given time to throw, he will accurately spread the ball to a variety of targets, and those efforts start with the offensive line, a group loaded with potential on the edges (OLT Jared Gaither and ORT Michael Oher, the club's first-round pick in 2009) and boasting two very good starters inside in OLG Ben Grubbs and ex-Vikings C Matt Birk. The line's best effort can be a very good one, as it showed right off the bat in '09.
