Despite just playing in two NFL seasons, Tyler Linderbaum, the center for the Ravens, is expected to play a more significant leadership role in Baltimore this year.
Last month, the Ravens acquired guard John Simpson from the AFC East team in exchange for right tackle Morgan Moses, who they moved to the Jets. With the departure of Kevin Zeitler, the other starting guard from last season, Linderbaum and left tackle Ronnie Stanley are the only starters from last year who are back.
It’s possible that some new players could be selected in the draft next week, and Linderbaum stated that in order to ensure that everyone is in agreement, he and the other players “have to be vocal, you’re going to have to communicate with guys.” According to the center, he believes the process will go
smoothly as the offseason unfolds.
“Once football school starts up, OTAs, building that chemistry, and all of the other things will take care of itself,” Linderbaum said, via the team website. “As the O-line, we don’t need to really worry about much, we just have to block the guy in front of us and work together. That’s kind of what we’re focused on.”
