Re: What will become of Justice Hill?
I think at this rate they might actually extend Gus and cut Ingram
The Dobbins takeover is coming and it's going to make the backfield feel even more crowded when they have a clear #1 who needs to be heavily involved. Gus has been the better back with younger/fresher legs than Ingram. I only see them keeping Ingram if Gus leaves for a starting job in FA... the 3-headed monster works for now because they are bringing Dobbins along slowly but that won't last forever, next season there won't be an incentive to keep both Gus/Ingram in terms of value for money

Re: What will become of Justice Hill?
He'll probably get PT next year.
Gus is likely gone due to being an upcoming UFA, and Ingram may or may not be back.
I thought he was really struggling for the first half of the year, but he started coming on towards the end of the year.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: What will become of Justice Hill?
Again - please correct me one of the cap guys, but Gus is a RFA next season, not an UFA. So doesn't that mean they pretty much have first dibs on him next year?
Also, 4 RBs is NOT a crowded backfield for the RAVENS. Maybe for some other teams. People keep assuming the offense is going to "evolve" into some sort of traditional "throw from the pocket QB - hand off to workhorse back" offense. Why? It makes more sense to keep a rotation of backs and continue to run the ball effectively even after Lamar gets better every year from the pocket.

Re: What will become of Justice Hill?
Gus has relative low wear and tear and if anything he’s been under utilized. He might do pretty good on the open market but maybe he’s interested in a small extension to be a 1-2 combo with Dobbins, leaving Ingram on the outs. Carry Hill as the third back. If Roman leaves to be a HC I could see him being interested in some current Ravens though.

Re: What will become of Justice Hill?
Could be another EDC special, I think that's what they will try to do and if nobody bites, they'll keep him for next year on the RFA contract.
Don't think they extend him past that, I'm not in favor of paying RBs second contracts, I think he's going to age faster than say a Dobbins, and just too many other contracts to spend any amount on Gus when we'll still have two more cheap years of Dobbins - and finding effective RBs has never been a problem for this organization.back on twitter

My bad about the confusion on whether Gus is a UFA or RFA next year.

Re: What will become of Justice Hill?
Frankly, I'd trade Ingram if there's a decent market. Not that he's bad, but he's in the way.
Unless Ingram's gone and Edwards gets a lot more carries, he has no reason to re-sign in Baltimore and be a third or fourth back. He's thousand yard rusher, and he will be snapped up. Hill will rot on the vine and fail to develop.Suddenly, this depth won't be there.
Trade Ingram, he's gone next year, anyway. Make Edwards #1 and give Dobbins and Hill more work. In the long run, the Ravens are better off.Last edited by mikezpen; 09-26-2020 at 07:19 PM.
