I think we all remember the mid 2010's issues we had at CB and how they often torpedoed our season as much as our offense being lethargic.
    Lol I agree with you but imagine the meltdown the smoothbrains would have if we got another Defensive player (especially DB).

    I predicted it a few days ago, before the Gilchrist cut

    With durability questions for both Jimmy Smith and DeShon Elliott I don’t blame you. It’s just, it seems we had a pretty good guy in the building in Gilchrist. Played a lot of dime, and did it well. Seems strange to pull the plug on him when he was doing pretty well, especially with the Levine injury, instead of, say, the backup long snapper that must have nudes of Harbaugh or something.

    Always Moore. Never less.

    Yeah it is weird and it's actually smart for The Ravens to protect their backup long snapper every week especially if their long snapper Morgan Cox had to miss a game due to Covid 19. Imagine The Ravens haven't to not only find a long snapper in free agency but have to wait until 5 days due to Covid 19 testing for the player to actually practice and get in sync with Sam Koch and Justin Tucker without their current backup long snapper on the practice squad. That could be scary especially in a game when Tucker has to make a game winning kick.

    Agreed. Smart to protect the long snapper.

    I still don't understand the Gilchrist move. As a Hawkeyes fan, I hope this means that Geno Stone has been looking good in practice and is ready for some playing time.

    It's a day later and it sounds like there still isn't any clarity over this move. I agree with the majority that it doesn't make sense. There must be something we aren't being told.

    Maybe this does mean Stone is ready to make his debut but Gilchrist versatility and ability to play safety and cornerback was somewhat of a asset to The Ravens secondary. I'm not sure if Stone can do all that but who knows.

    Or people are just over-thinking it.

    When you have 54 guys you want to have available, but only 53 slots, who do you cut? You cut a guy that you expect no one else will take. Then you know he is sitting by the phone when you need him.

    Gilchrist sat out on the market until September 30. Any team could have signed him, even as a PS signee like we did. And no one did.

    Now, things change, players get injured. There's always a risk. But it's a pretty low-risk move. A veteran could come in and play without a week of practice. You can still cut someone who is riskier to lose (maybe a guy like Moore) later in the week if you want. But what if someone gets injured and goes on IR? Boom. Roster spot open. What if you trade somebody before the deadline? Boom. Roster spot open.

    Lots of possibilities. I think Gilchrist was the one to go because he is the most likely guy to still be available to bring back.

    IMO Warrior fits this description better than Stone.

    and if they bring a guy in off the street - remember he has to quarantine

    Here is the best guess I can fabricate to try to explain it.

    With 6 OLBs in the fold, maybe EDC has a very minor pending deal to trade Jhad Ward before the 11/4 deadline. After that happens he will use Ward's roster spot to promote Dez in week 9.

    They then resign Gilchrist back to the PS spot vacated by Dez.

    They do that deal with Gilchrist, rather than someone else on the PS, because they have a side deal with him to not sign elsewhere in the intervening week. As a veteran he and his agent, Hadley Engelhard, would understand this kind of deal making.

    By that logic why not carry and protect a punter and kicker too?
