The Baltimore Ravens have seen up and down offensive line play in 2023, resulting in some big wins and tough losses because of it. However, the tough stretches have been in no part due to Tyler Linderbaum, who is having an All-Pro type of year.
When asked about Linderbaum, offensive coordinator Todd Monken talked about how great the second-year pro has been. He mentioned how he’s a hard worker, extremely smart, and athletic, among many other things.
“[Tyler Linderbaum’s] been great. All he does is work. He’s really smart. He’s athletic. It’s hard to get a guy as complete as he is when you talk about his talent level and his intelligence. He loves playing the position. Outside of the safety that we got with the [bad] snap [against the Los Angeles Rams], we haven’t had issues with the snaps. He’s playing at an elite level. When I got here, I found out that he was the draft pick [the Ravens selected from the] Hollywood Brown [trade]. I was like, ‘Really? We got a center instead of a big-time wideout?’ Then, we got Zay [Flowers], and I said, ‘Perfect.’ We got a wideout, and we got a center. Great, this is good stuff.”
