Ravens just let go of 3 main olineman, traded starting rt Moses, second best lineman in zietler, let go of john Simpson, Stanley is clearly fading all ravens have rn locked in is center
without lamar ravens would not have been #1 in rushing so not the best argument. i think elite RB support rushing the ball for the ravens will be huge. keaton mitchell going down last year hurt the ravens in the playoffs
In the biggest games, in the important spots, will the ravens give Henry the ball tho?
If the Eagles still have defensive issues, then every team still has defensive issues. Birds will be fine with Vic, CJGJ and their new shiny piece in Huff. I'm actually happy people continue to doubt the birds. Feels like 2022/2017 again.

Ravens need outside threats more than help in the run game. Still, a great pickup though.
Ravens fan here. We still have a decent amount of holes as well, some being IOL, WR2, RT. Defensively, we need to retool at CB, and find Edge rush help. The Henry signing is a great signing, don’t get me wrong. But we can’t act like we don’t have other spots we have to address.

While I agree that for the ravens they have to execute better and that was a big reason they lost, Derrick Henry does fill a hole. The ravens only had justice hill and Keaton Mitchell on the roster, and Mitchell probably won’t play until midseason at best. They upgraded from Gus edwards to Derrick Henry. He did fill a hole that was essential to their success.

I have an idea, how about drafting some linemen to protect your QB1, so he doesn't have to scamper around for his life, instead of ditching him for nothing?
I would love to see Caleb pull an Eli Manning and tell the Bears not to draft him.

That is such a poor take. Yes the eagles have had okay running back perform well behind the line they have, suddenly you add a world class RB means he’ll have the same production minimum but will create plays from nothing where previous guys would get tackled behind the los
🤔
Saquon brings more consistency I think swift was a good back but at times he was very inconsistent now that’s not all on him cuz the playcallin offensive last year was horrible but saquon is a back that can truly make nothing into something Derrick Henry to Baltimore is like when the cowboys drafted ceedee lamb when they had amari cooper in his prime along with Michael gallap coming off a good year as for Justin fields it’s a mystery how people view him so poorly I mean the guy ain’t a top 5 QB but he’s def a starting QB but I suppose the issue is he can only be drafted since I doubt the bears will just release him either way if he doesn’t get traded and the bears do draft Caleb Williams his career is probably over well starting career he will def have opportunities to be a back up on someone’s roster but as for starting I think that would be over
We developed Kelee Ringo still got slay signed CJ still got our rookie safety from last yea that we developed don’t let us be able to play Isaiah rodgers 👀 our secondary is good for next season plus our D Line is insane our O line is insane I think we just need more weapons for Jalen sign McConkie (I may have messed up his name)1st round and get us an amazing slot receiver and watch us win that BOWL PHILLY DOGS 🦅
I love Barkley but he hasn't done anything remotely close to what Derrick Henry has done not to mention what Lamar does I do think the eagles are going to be really good I said it yesterday about CMAC is saquon but there's only one ball
Philly hasnt had a back who could move the chains since legarrete blount 2017, saquon is that and sum thats all i kno
People need to stop pretending Justin Fields is some kind of promising, great quarterback. That's the problem. 40td 30int, 60% career completion percentage. He's never thrown for more than 2500 yards. If you think he's a guy who can put your team in Super Bowl contention every year, if you think he's a franchise guy like that, that's fine, but it's not accurate.

Mixon to Texans
Henry way bigger signing. He is a hall of famer . He had over 1400 yards with the titans last year. And they suck

Henry going to the Ravens just to lose to KC, Mahomes, and Reid again in the playoffs. 2024 Saquon is far from the monster he was coming out of Penn State. Plus the Philly's big problem is defense and he plays a non impactful position. No teams want Fields because he sucks
I hope it's just a pun thing, bc the problem was never the run game. Lamar played poorly against the Chiefs. You gotta be big time in big games.
Stop. The ravens lost Queen. Eagles juiced up the team by adding Kellen Moore, Vic Fangio, CJGJ, Huff, Saquon, Campbell, Baum, and Devin White. Howie isn’t done. Henry is aging and the ravens o line is suspect. Think about this miles sanders had over 1,000 yards rushing, and DeAndre Swift had his career high rushing yards behind practically the same Oline. AND swift ranked last to yards after contact. Saquon, was a beast behind a trash O line. Put Saquon behind the Eagles O line and my goodness, “mama there goes that man!” Understand me! Literally every argument Stephen A. Smith made for the Ravens adding an aging Henry, you can make for Saquon and the Philadelphia Eagles. Stop it.
Barkley play cornerback, hes always hurt i m not worried about him he may play half the year
Neither. How does it help either team? Ravens still need Lamar to step his game up throwing when it matters. Eagles second half collapse last year wasn’t a RB problem
