After a couple of bad snaps last week, Ravens starting center Matt Skura is heading to the bench.

Patrick Mekari will start at center for the Ravens today against the Titans and Skura will be benched, according to NFL Network. Mekari has started three games at guard this season.

Skura said he and his family received abusive messages from Ravens fans on social media after his bad snaps in last week’s loss to the Patriots.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman both said last week that the errant snaps were something that has to get fixed, and apparently the fix will be sending Skura to the bench.

  1. Sad story death threats really ppl it’s a game ! give the guy a chance to redeem himself were all human in spite of wanting them to be robots.

  2. His snaps have been bad all season, especially in the last few games.

    It’s horrible & unacceptable for people to attack his wife & family, but this is a good football move.

  3. Death threats should not come as a shock. This is the same fan base that unashamedly supported Ray Lewis and even built a statute in his honor.

  4. Today being a Sports Fan is a business! With all the gambling and betting avenues available. It’s a business.. Skura blown snaps probably cause those fans a lot of money..

  5. Yeah, blame your Center, Coach. Your candy-armed QB has nothing to do with your soon-to-be-even-more-frequent losses.

    Bettors know the risks when they place their bets. I don’t want to hear about players costing people money…you win some, you lose some. That’s the nature of the beast. If they are going to risk their money on what another person does, that’s their own fault. People need to take responsibility for their own actions…

  7. I heard that Belichick was seen whispering in his ear before the game like Hannibal Lecter to Miggs in Silence of the Lambs.

  8. The main problem hasn’t been addressed and we all know what it is! But I guess you have to blame someone.

  9. Thumbs up if you’re highly entertained by gambler’s remorse/rage. Learn to cope with the losses you bring upon yourselves.

  10. Ravens O Line has been an atrocity this season and the front office needs to bring in talent on the offense but everyone wants to only blame Lamar.

  11. More random hate on Lamar Jackson for no reason. Skura has been abysmal as a center this year, not sure if he’s still working back from his brutal injury, but hes been terrible. Anyone personally attacking him and his family is scum, pure and simple.

  12. Lamar to the Jets for the first pick in the 2021 draft if they have the first pick to get Lawrence

  13. Matt Skura is snapping the ball crazily week after week, and the people are really blaming Lamar? Lamar has been covering for him by catching his erratic snaps all year.

  14. Gotta love the people that bash Lamar and act like it’s a personal issue. Get a life people.
