cravnravn Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Coming out of Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, there's genuine reason for concern with the ground game of the Baltimore Ravens. Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce went into the Steelers matchupranked first and second in the league in percentage of runs generating 2 or fewer yards. They averaged just 2.76 yards on 21 carries against Pittsburgh, and Pierce is dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of Wednesday's practice. With no other runners on the roster, the Ravens tried out Beanie Wells on Wednesday, according to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000268416/article/beanie-wells-reportedly-tries-out-for-baltimore-ravens
cravnravn Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Didnt we lose Rainey to the Brownies, and the Browns just release him???
OutsideRzAcE Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I don't get why are we looking at running backs when the issue is clearly the Oline. This doesn't make sense to me unless Pierce is so banged up that he needs to sit for a couple of weeks.

This doesn't make sense to me unless Pierce is so banged up that he needs to sit for a couple of weeks. The RB's have been bad, but I agree, as the article states, it's probably because of the injuries.

Oldschool739 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Should be looking at Michael Turner, he's rated the highest available....
thesteelhurtin Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I believe the Steelers worked out wells earlier this year and his knee wasn't ready yet. Turner is done he is still like a bowling ball only in a senior bowling league he's moving just not very fast.
vmax Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Total Desperation Move. Bring back Terry Allen and Jason Brookins.
thundercleetz Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 We are fine at running back. The line is the problem. Whether it is the scheme or talent I don't know. But it better get figured out soon!

Oldschool739 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The line is the problem TC, but Pierce is hurt and RR isn't 100% either.....My boy Willis would've really looked good right about now but the Brownies got him...We need some help right now at RB....
