The Baltimore Ravens, after losing three running backs to season-ending injuries during the preseason and then scrambling to replace them, have received trade inquiries from teams interested in their current group of running backs, league sources told ESPN.

Ship Bell out of town.

After last nights performance, Eric phone lines went dead.

I think that was the OL.  They were running into a wall.

It took them 20 minutes to reach the line of scrimmage. I cringed any time they tried to run wide. But yea...certainly the O line got no push and couldn't open a running lane. But yea again...this crops rushing days in the NFL are over.

Latavius Murray	6	17	2.8	0	6
Ty'Son Williams	4	6	1.5	0	5
Devonta Freeman	1	1	1.0	0	1
TEAM	25	86	3.4	0	13

Interesting that they had Williams in there instead of Bell, maybe a trade is in the works

I think it's a simple matter of "Can anybody other than Lamar run the ball?"

Williams was averaging more than 6 per so far this season.  Tonight there were no holes at all.  Murray basically the same.  Freeman has been only ok.  That performance was all OL.  That needs to be worked on.  But then you go back to Cleveland leaving on the cart.  So will he be back?

Very worried about Cleveland. Also I hear Zeitler got hurt or dinged up. I don't want to think about this. It takes me to too dark a place.

Zeitler came back in the game.

Cleveland is a worry.  We need to elevate the rookie from the practice squad...How much worse can he be?

Now that Indy is out of the way and 1-4,  can Marlon Mack be had ?   Looked better than anyone we got. 

If not, maybe we trade one of our backs for a proven LB/pass rusher from a "seller".

Maybe there's a guy out there whose acquirable before trade DL.  Queen aint cutting it !

Why is Nate McCrary not being elevated?

[papasmurfbell]

Probably bc they have so many other active guys.
