 Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Elijah Holyfield, I was wondering who is he? The Ravens had some guys in for a workout. They had about three. But what position was it? It was at RB. Why? Because Justice Hill tore his a-kill lease. And it's an unfortunate situation for the Ravens as in a week and a half's time span, they've lost two of their top running backs. YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's Engraven here with another video. And in this video, oh man, it has been a crazy 30 minutes. Because we all got the notification at the Ravens. They worked out Elijah Holyfield. Who is Evander Holyfield's son? Which I didn't know. I thought maybe they just happened to have the same last name. But he is Evander Holyfield's son. He went to Georgia, played running back there. Then spent some time with the Panthers and also some time with the Eagles as well. And they also worked out Devonte Freeman, former Atlanta Falcon. And he was also a former Saint for like, maybe like a week and a half. But then the Saints cut him this off season. And then they also worked out former Steeler, former Jet, former Chief, LeVion Bell. And that has to be the most notable name out of the three. But it was a very interesting situation. Just thinking about why were they working out those guys? Like initially, let me tell you, let me take you all through my thought process. When I first saw that, when I first saw it, I was thinking, what is this some type of smoke screen? They can't really want one of these guys. They probably looking at somebody else. And that could still be true. But then as time continued, and then I got the notification about Justice Hill being out for the year, I was like, oh man. All right, erase the smoke screen you talk. This is real. This is real because the Ravens, they now running back has become a position of need and immediate need. So I expect them to sign one of those two guys by tomorrow. I'm thinking they end up going with LeVion Bell. And we're gonna talk about that in a bit. But with Justice Hill, when that news first came out, I was thinking, oh man, Justice Hill, he's out for the season with the Torna Killies. Did they rush him back? Was he not all the way back yet? But one of my guys who does media with the Ravens, he said that Justice Hill, he looked good last week. He looked really good last week. He looked fine. He didn't look bad at all. Everything looked like it was good to go. And I was like, oh, okay, cool, man. That's good. So for that, them rushing him back, I erased that. But now with them working out LeVion Bell and Devonte Freeman and Elijah Holyfield. Something that's very interesting to think about, and we always get reminded of this when it comes to the running back position, that NFL really stands for not for long. And even if you wanna throw Todd Gurley in there too, you think about Todd Gurley. You think about LeVion Bell. You think about Devonte Freeman. All three of these guys were all some of the best running backs in the NFL. And you could even say they each had seasons where they were the best running back in the NFL. So it just shows you that the NFL, especially at the running back position, it really stands for not for long. If you can make it to a second contract as a running back these days, that's great. But if you can make it to the second contract, which Todd Gurley did, and stay on that second contract, which he obviously didn't. LeVion Bell made it to the second contract too. But Jets were like, no, we're done. This ain't working out. The Rams were like, no, we're done. This ain't working out. And you gotta feel like both of those franchises just felt like there was just some immediate regret when they signed both of those guys two long-term deals and their big deals in second contracts. And it didn't work out for different reasons for each, but this just shows you, Devonte Freeman too with the Falcons. He signed a record-breaking contract. Now he's a free agent. He couldn't even stay on with the Saints. So again, NFL not for long. Now, with LeVion Bell, again, I do think that the Ravens are gonna pick him out of the three. And the reason I say that is because, yeah, y'all have heard me talk about LeVion Bell a lot. We got questions from subscribers about LeVion Bell. Should the Ravens sign LeVion Bell? Ravens need to sign LeVion Bell. They need to bring on LeVion, LeVion, LeVion. Ring the bell. But anyway, I have continued to say, and I still feel like it that LeVion Bell, his run style is not a good fit with what the Ravens do. It is not a good fit. Now, one other thing with LeVion Bell, like if the Ravens were to sign him, if they decide, you know what LeVion Bell, let's get it. They're gonna have to tell him, like, look, you're a good runner, you're a smart runner, but at the same time with your decision-making, you make good decisions now. But if you're gonna be on our team, you need to make those decisions a lot quicker, a lot faster, quick, fast, and in a hurry. We got to get it moving a lot quicker than that, because you can't be in a backfield dancing around, you can't be in a backfield having happy, that's not gonna work with us, my friend. We got to keep it moving, man. But with that being said, one aspect where LeVion Bell could do really good for these Ravens, even though we expecting Gus Edwards to continue to improve, and Tyson Williams, something that my guy, Jason, from Huddled Up Films, that he pointed out about Tyson Williams is that he is a very, very good pass protector. He does good in pass protection from the running back position. So with him doing a good job of that, that could buy him more time on the field. But that will be something that LeVion Bell will specialize in being that third down back. If it's third down and fourth, third down and five, if y'all run one of those monthly screenplays that the Ravens run, because you know they, again, one screenplay per month, let's see if this year if it improves, that'd be nice. But if they run one of those monthly screenplays, you hit LeVion Bell, boom, okay, cool. And with a screenplay, now that's perfect for LeVion Bell style. Him being patient and whatnot, him waiting and then being able to see where his blockers are going, screenplays are perfect for LeVion Bell. But just him as a pass catching back, that would do a lot for these Ravens because you would have, that was his trustworthy hands. He just didn't get many catches. Now his catches have been increasing every year because he's been getting more opportunity. But so his hands have been proving themselves, but somebody who definitely has proven hands as a running back, as a pass catching running back is LeVion Bell. So you would have another third down back and you would have a proven third down back. Because I know with Tyson Williams and pass protection, Ravens might be a little scared, a little worried because as we all know, Ravens when it comes to rookies, even though he's not a rookie, he's in his second year I believe because I think he was with the practice squad last year. But when it comes to rookies and when it comes to very young and experienced players, Ravens don't like to put too much on their plate. They don't like to put too much on their plate. They like having guys that are proven, that are experienced, that have been there, done that before they handed over to the young, young guy. And that could be a gift and a curse. It all just depends on the situation. Obviously depends on the player. Not every situation is the same. But with LeVion Bell, he gives you somebody that you know can get their job done as a third down back. And of course as a first to second one too. But again, the decision making will have to speed up a lot if the Ravens are going to bring him in. Now with Justice Hill, J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill, these injuries are brutal, man. They're brutal because the Ravens, they not only lost their top running back. The guy who was going to be that feature running back in J.K. Dobbins, they didn't just lose him for the year. They also lost somebody who was just an explosive player, man. He's an explosive player. And he was looking to just go off this year. He was looking to continue the path that he was already on last year and just be even better this year. It was definitely, we was all looking for the J.K. Dobbins like crazy because we just knew that he was gonna go off. And especially since he was trying to work on being involved even more in the passing game too, that would have been a beautiful thing, man. It would have been a beautiful thing. So then you lose that and then it switches over to Justice Hill and you lose a pass catching running back. You lose a lot of speed at the running back position, but you also lose a top special teamer. And I think sometimes we as fans, I know myself, it happens to me a lot, happens to a lot of us that sometimes we don't value a guy's presence on special teams as much as we should. Special teams is a very important part of the game. I mean, hardball, you know, hardball is a special teams guy. He may mess around a little bit on offense. He may mess around a little bit on defense, but on special teams he don't play. He don't play at all. But with Justice Hill, he is somebody that is a gunner. He is somebody that you could put him on punt return. They had him on kick return. They had him everywhere on special teams doing a lot of different things, but now you lose that. You lose that. And that's a very valuable part of your team. That's a very valuable part of what you do. You do a kickoff. The opposing team catches a kickoff. Stars returning. Justice Hill makes a tackle. Oh, that was looking like he had a lane, but Justice Hill used that speed to catch him at an angle and stop him. Could have been like a 25-yard, 30-yard game, but it ended up only being 15. You have him as a gunner. Oh, Justice Hill running down the sideline, chasing that punt returner, makes a key tackle. Okay, let's go. That punt returner looked like he had a little crease, but Justice Hill caught him. And now instead of that punt returner getting about 30, 35 yards, he only ended up getting six or seven. So, and then with special teams, like you got to have smarts, man. You got to have smarts. You got to take the right angles. You got to know who to block. It's so much that's involved with special teams, man. But I know we don't talk about it enough because it's not the prettiest part of football. It's not the sexiest part of football, but it is a very vital part of football. And now that's gone. And not to say that somebody else can't come in and do a good job on special teams. We're not saying that. But when you have somebody that you know is good at special teams, and you have somebody that you know is good as a pass, catching running back out of the backfield, and you have somebody that is familiar with the offense, familiar with what you do, and that can come in and be that third running bag for you. When you have that and you lose it, it creates a big hole. So anyway, in conclusion, I do expect the Ravens to sign either LaVion, I expected to sign LaVion Bell by tomorrow, by tomorrow. So we'll see what ends up happening. It's funny because Chris Mortensen, literally just tweeted out, this is 546. The time right now is 551. So about five minutes ago, he tweeted out their familiar names here for the Ravens consideration, but there is almost no question. The third team running back must contribute on special teams. So yeah. So always nice when you get that confirmation of what we know. But anyway, team keep it clean, appreciate y'all. I love y'all. And we'll see. We'll see. I'm pretty sure by tomorrow, we're gonna see who Ravens end up making a decision on. Cause again, they got a game coming up in a week. Like this time next week, we're gonna have goosebumps and all that. We're gonna get the shakes. Our stomach gonna be turning and whatnot. Cause it's real next week, man. It's real. But so is the fact that the Ravens lost JK Dobbins in Justice Hill. That's even more real. So they have to come up with a plan like ASAP because whatever running back you bring in, you gotta get them up to speed like that. So we'll see what those Ravens do. So unfortunately, just like JK Dobbins and Justice Hill are both for the season, I'm out.
