ravens going defense with sweat from washingtown

I remember liking him during that draft… still prefer an upgrade in RB over defense though. If Gus goes down, we’re so fucked.

That just means we're forced to give Mitchell snaps

still prefer an upgrade in RB

also would prefer a rb to fill in that jk spot , especially considering in the playoffs offense will need to make cruical plays. And the two best defenses last year getting 38-35 dropped on them in the sb

Dude too fragile to be counted on. 1 big hit and he’s back on IR

I know it's likely we are only going to get one, either a RB or a pass rusher but if we could somehow come away with both without spending too much, it would be great.

Aaron Jones? Henry?

Don't think we're getting Jacobs or Kamara. So who else could it be.

*BREAKING NEWS*

"DB Bobby Jackson announces transition to RB. Jackson stated, 'I'm here to help the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl. Go Flock, baby.' Jackson plans on signing a $1 contract in the next few days. 'We're still ironing out the details. Stay tuned,' says Ravens GM Eric DeCosta."

Has he been this year?

Okay… Javonte or Saquon!

Jacobs been ass, overrated since his draft year. He had crazy volume and produced decently with it, he’s no better than what’s on the roster, he gains what’s blocked for him and might grab an extra 5 on a given down by lowering his shoulder

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Wait. Doesn’t this news mean that we’re 100% trading for Henry? Isn’t this how this always works?

JLC didn’t break that news so we’re not out of the woods yet

I just don't like the fit of Henry with the Ravens. He's a great back but you've got to really commit to him to get the most out of him.

He famously gets better the longer the game goes on. In the first half he's always gone for a lot of 2-3 yard runs, with the idea that people get worn down tackling him and he starts to gash teams with big runs in Q3 & 4.

Those short first half runs put the offense in unfavorable downs and distances. Tennessee made that work by beng a heavy play action team, asking Tannehill to take the hits to make the throws.

I think the Ravens offense has a higher ceiling than that. We don't need to be committed to unproductive 1st half runs to generate offense, it would be a waste of our receiving talent to line up in heavy run looks to sell the play action and we certainly don't want to ask our $50 M QB to sit in the pocket taking hits to get the PA passes off. It would be like turning the clock back to the Roman years.

Why would you want to build your offense around an aging running back when you can build it around Lamar?

In this offense, defenses are gonna struggle to tackle Henry in the fourth regardless of his snap count throughout the game. Dudes get more tired trying to contain Lamar than they get trying to tackle Henry.

Henry with fresher legs against defenders who got jelly legs after chasing Lamar all day, that will close a few games, and the bootleg game that comes from Henry would be unstoppable, when Henry runs wide the defense commits to him.

Man if Henry isn’t available, Aaron Jones would be an amazing consolation prize if his hammy is 100%

What about dillion?

 

[JAAM]

What about dillion?

Dillon’s awful. I’d rather just roll with Gus

 

[Davesta]

Please sweet baby Jesus

All I know is WHEN Henry gets traded to the Ravens, Pepe better give up that 22 jersey. We can’t have the king rocking some number in the 40s.

apparently the play the ravens ran for the 1st td against the lions was a pass or rpo, now imagine doing that with henry

I read that we are the favorites to land Burns.

Ain't no way lol
