Next Up: vs Steelers

[Ellicottraven]

Folks: We'll roll over the Steelers with RGIII and McSorley. The critical stat are those rush yards we need to be the best running team in history. I think Gus the bus will get us there. And RGIII will make Lamar look like a genius when he tries to initiate him with the run option plays, but hey it doesn't matter because with all our starters resting we're still the superior team. Ravens win this 28-17

Any running back free agents still on the market that are serviceable?

C.J. Anderson

Finally a stress free Week 17!

Not entirely true I’ll be stressed on every play hoping no one gets hurt.

C.J. Anderson

How do you know he's in good shape / serviceable? Lions released him after couple games and nobody touched him since.

 

[BaltRavens]

CJ Anderson is available

Can we bring someone up from the practice squad so Edwards does not get hurt in the Pitt game? We need to rest, rest, rest.

You get 1 injury and suddenly you only have 1 rb to play the whole game... we don’t even have an emergency back or anything - feel like we’d have to bring someone in just in case ingram isn’t ok to go in the divisional round

And there’s plenty of guys who’ve been inactive basically every week who you can cut/waive/send to i/r - the only thing is we might want to see what some of them look like on Sunday...

If we had to bring someone in last minute I’m afraid it would limit the playbook and effectiveness as it takes a ton of reps for LJ and a RB to get in sync at the mesh point. Hopefully at the least Gus and Justice remain healthy.

So you bring them in now so they get 3 weeks to practice before the divisional round and they get some reps in the system on Sunday too...

Practice squad RB’s:

De’Lance Turner
Christopher Ezeala

I would consider one of these guys. We are a running team and we should protect our most important assets. And IMO Gus fits that category. The game has no REAL meaning so Why not go all in on protecting starters from injury. Even though I hate losing to the Steelers.

I'm guessing that we'll promote Turner to have him active for the game. I'm not really worried about Gus though since he usually gives out more punishment than he receives.

We only have 53 players on the roster. Ingram is banged up anyway. So we can rest maybe 7-8 players at most. There are more important starters on our team than just 7-8....

Ezeala is probably a full back.
RB on the PS is Byron Marshall.

Ezeala is a fullback more than a rb right now and is fairly new to the game - he's an 11th ps member who's an international scheme guy

Welp, that sucks lol

Me too. There’s allot at stake for us.

 

[QuothTheRaven]

Where's Alex Collins now?

 

[allblackraven]

Where's Alex Collins now?

He is FA, reinstated recently.
Why do you ask? Don't tell me you want river dance back, even if he wasn't arrested on drugs and weapon charges, which would automatically disqualify him for entering the castle again.

 

[Tank]

Collins actually makes sense, but I doubt we pick him up.
