Not Miami related, but is going to be a problem for Miami

Henry slowed down last year but the Ravens just got a lot better with him in the backfield.

Free agent running back Derrick Henry agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Ravens, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Now here's 1 player I'm glad we'll stop hearing about. Paying old RBs is about as short sighted as it gets.

 

[Blake the great]

 

[Martel13]

Good pickup for the Ravens they’re gonna have some 5-6 rush TD games this year

 

[DolfanISS]

The Ravens usually go as far as their running game takes them. Which hasn’t been far enough yet.

 

[Frisco Fin]

Not a problem for us. We don’t play them

 

[VAFinsfan72]

Nah, he will go the way of Dalvin Cook who fell off a cliff last year.

They’re not winning anything until they get a qb that can throw in the playoffs

If Henry will mean fewer carries for Jackson, that's good for the qbs healthy, but sort of a relief for opposing defences.

At this point, I am more worried about Jackson as a runner than Henry. Anything that gets the ball out of Jackson's hands is better for us IMHO.

Not worried about it and would be furious if we gave him that contract. Was a great player, isn’t anymore. Still good, but I’m fine with Achane and Mostert as 1A and 1B. We do need a big, pile pushing back, but that’s for like 5 carries a game. Brooks may work.

I posted that a smart team would take him. It is a plus move.

I appreciated that WV always talked about plus traits. The issue with plus moves is that unless you win the Super Bowl fans condemn everything.

The Ravens expended so much energy last season it will be interesting to see what reservoir remains in 2024. They are in regression logic, after rising from 10 wins in 2022 to 13 in 2023.

That’s what many don’t seem to realize.

Whenever Lamar faces a legit defense that can force him to have to make quick reads and/or throw outside the numbers, it doesn’t typically go so well.

Let’s not forget, Lamar fell victim to the cover zero blitz a few seasons ago. No legit elite level QB should have trouble beating 101 coverage with no safety help for an entire game.

Lamar is great when the run game is winning and he’s throwing when he wants to and not when he has to, and further when he can throw to the middle of the field or on the run once a play has broken down.

If Henry will mean fewer carries for Jackson, that's good for the qbs healthy, but sort of a relief for opposing defences.

I do think Henry will be a great help to Lamar. Especially in short yardage.

Don't the Ravens usually have 4-5 RBs on IR by the start of the season?
