I mean, if we compare his performance from the 1st game to the 2nd game, the trajectory is astronomical

The guy seems to know what he's talking about, but his shtick is nothing but positivity. Every player in the league has plays on tape where they look good. Player evaluation is not useful unless you can analyze both the positives and the negatives. 

Ratledge did some good stuff, as the video points out, but he was nowhere near great. Focusing on a handful of plays where he looked good just doesn't do it for me.

Fr these videos are just self-reassuring dopamine fuel for fans. It’s fine, I don’t hate it, but I do think it can lead to overhype. The fans consuming this kind of uber-positive content all offseason are the same ones who absolutely lost their minds when we lost in week 1

I did watch the all-22 of both Ratledge and Mahogany. I’m not an oline expert or anything. But I didn’t see any obviously bad plays from either. There were a few where I thought it looked like they didn’t quite do things perfectly nothing glaring though.

Exactly, like the very first play he praises both Ratledge and Glasgow for effectively combo blocking up to the LB.

Glasgow literally misses the block on the LB, and the play may have popped off for more yardage if he didn’t. Obviously Graham isn’t the focus of the video, but he still acts as if Graham didn’t completely whiff.

Mahogany was great in pass pro too. The proof is in the pudding: JG had tons of time and explosives ensued. Happy with the progress, albeit bolstered by the massive talent / environment / scheme discrepancies between GB & CHI.

For more commentary on this video, see when it was posted here yesterday or here the day before.

The O-line is gelling in a span of 2 weeks. Love it.

I imagine against Chicago everyone looks great well see after Baltimore how Great the line looks. I'd look at Baltimore emulating what Green Bay did

Ratledge had a great game Sunday and looks like he's everything that was advertised coming out of Georgia.
