Flynn filled in for Mitchell when he went down last season and the coaching staff felt that Flynn played center better then guard. Flynn still has a few things to learn, but having Leon Searcy on one side and Jonathan Ogden on the other will make it easier to lean on your guards. Elvis Grbac will also help, knowing the type of game head coach Billick is running. Seems that they have the same roots, they come out of the west coast system. Also, a plus is Matt Cavanaugh, Matt has dealt with Grbac in the past as a 49'er.
Some roads seem to cross again.
There are a few player on the offensive side that will not be return. Running back Priest Holmes has said he knows his days as a Raven are done. WR Patrick Johnson may find it hard to get back onto the team with Brandon Stokley stepping up and Travis Taylor returning healthy. The team still has to re-work Jermaine Lewis' contract to help out on the cap. No matter, Lewis will stay on this team and will start handling kickoff returns along with his punt return duties.
