We’ve been discussing the center position of the Baltimore Ravens and who snaps to Lamar Jackson (and how) since Tyler Linderbaum backed up the Brink’s truck on Mark Davis in Las Vegas. Now, with the awful Danny Pinter injury at practice in Minnesota, the Ravens move to the “next” plan and as Luke Jones and Nestor discuss, that’s not good with the season about to begin and the center of the offense murky.
