major plus coming out of the all-22

we've got some awesome route runners on offence - Zay, Bate and Likely are all ridiculously hard to defend in man coverage
yep, Zay Flowers is top 5 in beating man coverage and also top 5 in YAC

3rd and 1, Derrick Henry asking Lamar to just give him the rock.

You saw that little pause and sigh from Henry when Lamar told him "imma keep it from you."

Bet he never heard any of his QBs said that to him before LOL

most interesting was that henry was asking lamar to get monken to call that play
but that lamar already knew what play he was gonna call - either monken's already called a play and given lamar the entire playclock to work with, or lamar is just calling his own plays sometimes out there - im fine with either option tbh

it's nice that we've got 2 closers in that backfield and both of them call their own number in big spots and get it done

Henry would be a perfect fit, but I can’t imagine this ever happening.

Was just speaking with a friend in Kentucky(Titans season ticket holder). Word down there is that the Ravens were in discussions with Titans re; Henry, but Amy Strunk nixed the deal.

What a combo. I wish we had Henry in last years Championship game.

we had a trade for him basically finalized, until the owner nixed the deal.

Derrick Henry and Lamar would be disgusting

Henry for a 2024 3rd rounder is a no brainer for me. Anything more than that and it feels dicey. Henry would really put teams in a bind trying to stay small to keep up with Lamar or go heavier knowing they need to bring down Henry.

Teach tape for any RB that wants to stick in the league for a long time


Hill is a guy that has grown into a valuable piece. I’ll admit thinking he wouldn’t be anything more than a ST player for us, but obviously coaches saw things that they liked and stuck with him.

Idk if the coaches even saw it at one point. He said in a recent interview that Harbs had told him he would be cut and then Dobbins tore his knee up in the preseason game and then Hill was told he wasn’t going to get cut lol
Just goes to show, some guys just need time to develop

Roman never used him properly. It truly wasn't until Monken got here that we started using him the way he should have been used from the beginning.

I’m not sure if it was anything GRo did or didn’t do. While he was always quick he now looks bigger and stronger. And obviously without Dobbins or Gus or Keaton around his role was bound to change.

So we should thank Washington for our current rb room?

Looking back 2021 was a blessing in disguise for the team. Look at what we got in the next draft.

That one move kept us from winning the Super Bowl I believe. Lets hope Orr can work shit out because this is a SB offense
Or kept Harbaugh’s blunder from being even worse. Imagine 6 carries with Henry. No offense to Gus but I’m glad he’s gone, tired of watching us abandon him in the playoffs.
