I think a season similar to what Kruger did last year would be a good step, but I'm still cautiously optimistic.

“He’s relentless in his pursuit of knowledge,” Monachino said. “Let me say that again, he’s [freaking] relentless. He asks a lot of questions, comes to the office, wants paper work, wants diagrams. He wants everything he can get his hands on."

Thats great to hear

If Kindle can be a factor in passing situations, he could be a huge unexpected plus for the Ravens this year.

Good stuff, it's nice to hear the coaches feedback on his progression. I too have cautious optimism about him as a player, seems like the nickel rusher role Kruger had last yr.

Coming out of college i thought Kindle's best asset was that he was more versatile then given credit for, i thought he could play in multiple schemes, i also thought he was underrated in space and probably overrated as a pure pass rusher. Hopefully some of that carried over and he can meet some of that potential down the line but for right now i guess you cant ask too much lol. Idk if he can be counted on persay but if he's a nickel rusher this year that's a huge win and it looks like he's on his way to doing that.

Ted said that right now, he's about where they expected him to be as a rookie, so basically this put him back two years. Having said that, Kindle as a rookie was IMO going to be a complete animal anyway, seriously there is just no way this guy cannot contribute in the NFL if he focuses and carries on doing what he's reportedly been doing. Sergio was a top 10 talent coming out of that draft.
