Freeman's on the PS now but I wouldn't rule other moves out.
i mean maybe - we were all scared when jimmy went down too and got that "good" news
but idk that im particularly hopeful
100% dont want to plug a hole with an overpay - got to trust in the system, the organisation and the guys we have in house
literally the only silver lining to all this is that we probably can have our pick of basically anyone with any sort of vet with any desire to earn carries and resurrect their career - guys are gonna be fine sitting on the PS for a week or 2 if it gets them a chance to get significant touches in this running game
might be the most attractive PS ever lol if you're a RB
we signed Devonta Freeman
sort of what i was saying above lol
nugget from jeff - it helps that he was only just here (might have even still been in baltimore idk) - but idk that he'll have enough time to be ready to go before monday
ravens gonna be streaming the RB position like me in fantasy lol so dont wanna guarantee anyone's money
we had 6 RBs get carries for us in the 2018 season once Alex Collins started sucking
What this will do to the defence is somewhat change how we run some of our coverages - we've often played coverages that have allowed both MP and Marlon to play to their strengths but no matter who it is that replaces MP on the outside (be that Averett or Jimmy - when he's healthy enough) their strengths are different to MP's

What would Tony Pollard cost?

Honestly I hope to see more cover 2 looks. It’s been a pretty sorely needed evolution in our otherwise awesome defensive scheme. We have the LBs to pull it off and still bring great pressure, plus Elliott plays his best ball when the play is in front of him.

I mean just what the fuck. As others have said, we're deep at corner and RB is a replaceable position, but idk.
MP is special.
Fumbles have been an issue with new running backs in our system have they not?
Also, we're going to sustain more injuries throughout the year. I don't want to over react, but I just seriously doubt come playoff time we'll have the roster required to compete for a Superbowl.
All this hurts more than anyone is Lamar man. Just damn. When all is said and done and we get bounced first round, people will blame him.

just seen this question to Ken and it definitely must be said that as good as Gus and Lamar were down the stretch in 2018 when they both took over, there were a lot of fumbles at the meshpoint
gonna be hard to get the reps for bell and freeman who i dont think have a ton of experience at the mesh (freeman might because of offseason with the saints and taysom hill)
which suggests to me that ty'son's gonna be carrying the load on Monday night just because of the trust he'll have
