Ravens OT Kelechi Osemele Confident He Could Begin Season As Starting Right Tackle

Found July 29, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kelechi Osemele,  John Harbaugh
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  Cincinnati Bengals
Ravens coach John Harbaugh took the bold initiative of stating that rookie Kelechi Osemele could start at right tackle. The organization’s second-round pick in April's NFL draft didn’t disagree with that sentiment. “Right now, it’ll come down to practices and reps and stuff,” Osemele said after Saturday’s practice at the team’s training complex in Owings Mills. “I still don’t have it down 100 percent. So right now, I’m just trying to learn from the older guys, but come September, I’ll be ready.” Osemele’s confidence comes on the heels of Harbaugh’s post-practice comments on Friday when he was asked whether Osemele could open the regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 10 as the starting right tackle. “[W]e definitely feel like he is a guy we could plug in and he can start,” Harbaugh said. “I would say that about the other two players, too, aboutRamon [Harewood] and aboutJah [Reid]. But K.O. is talented, he’s tough, he’s really smart. [Offensive line coach] Andy [Moeller] is doing a great job with him. Absolutely, yes.”
