I have the sinking feeling that the Steelers are going to be pretty good. positive regression is coming on those drops

Steelers' schedule is tough though. Basically every hard non-division game is on the road - Bills, Chiefs, Packers, Chargers, Vikings.

Ravens dodge the Bills and play the rest at home.

We are in trouble without him. I love Gus Edwards but we really don't know how he will be as a featured back. This will lead to us having to lean on Lamar more for out running game and we really don't want to be forced into that.

Our best hope is that Hill or Williams really steps up which I think has decent odds of actually happening.

Williams is gonna own and he's also a hell of a blocker

Gus isn't exactly a home run hitter but he keeps the chains moving. Also expect him to have a ton of TDs this season because he's such a great short yardage back.

Hill... I dunno. Great special teamer, that's cool.

The thing about the Titans is that they lost Arthur Smith and now have "Todd Downing" as their offensive coordinator. Best case scenario is that he changes nothing

I really don't give a poo poo about him being signed by the Pats but I have no idea why they drafted him in the first place, especially with Project Pat on the roster. seems like a wasted pick but what the hell do I know

apparently Ricard had offseason surgery so this was basically an insurance pick. he probably could have been picked up as a UDFA but whatever, a fifth rounder didn't work out, just pretend they drafted Ar'Darius with that pick

Sad that Mahomes went down week 1

Hohooooo nice

Dobbins' injury is worse than Bateman's, but anyway I'm just glad Brown and Sammy practiced today and seem to be good to go

Losing to KC in week 2 is not necessarily a disaster but will probably have major playoff seeding implications so it sure would be nice to finally beat them

This picture is uneven. We need to let Tom get one more ring.

Brady is basically my default choice for winning the SB if it's not Baltimore. the novelty of old rear end Brady continuing to win the Super Bowl is pretty fun, especially with Tampa which I don't really hold any kind of grudge against

it's funny how every podcast and NFL writer's "underrated" team is the Chargers as if nobody believes in them. everyone thinks the Chargers are a playoff team now, they are not underrated

I remember there being interest in both these backs last year so it makes sense to kick the tires. Hopefully it's interest in replacing Justice Hill and not Ty'son Williams. Williams has looked like a starting caliber RB.

it is indeed

Ooof. That's probably a career. He seemed like a legit draft prospect too.

we'll always have that one Pittsburgh game

Just remembered Nate McCrary got picked up. Wonder if it'd be worth trading for someone. Probably not but that RB depth is lookin pretttttty rough right now

Think I'd rather take a chance on Elijah Holyfield, who's 23 and doesn't have 1000+ carries on the odometer.

What is the Ravens' draft capital like? This feels like a situation where you trade for a RB.

They have a ton but probably don’t want to use it on an RB.

I tend to agree though. we’re just assuming Ty’Son Williams is going to be up to snuff (I’m high on him but still)

They currently have five 2022 fourth round picks, no idea who’d be available but it might be worth making some calls

a rookie guard isn't exactly a sure thing but you'd hope he could win a job in this particular offensive line.

Ravens 3rd rounder Ben Cleveland spent the majority of camp concussed and didn't win the LG job either.

Ha. The game last year where the Broncos tried to lobby the league to postpone their game and were forced to start a PS receiver at QB was denied because the QB room removed their contact tracing devices.

We have like no cap room (before anyone says anything, the cap seems to be real for the Ravens for some reason, I assume it's philosophic) so if he wants money this isn't the place to look. Also in Ravens news,


They just made some room with Andrews' deal. Not sure if it's enough. There's still a few restructuring candidates like Humphrey and Tucker. Not sure if Murray is worth it.

He's on short term IR though

Did he get hurt over the last couple weeks? He was healthy in Baltimore. I assumed that was some roster shenanigans to stash him.
