 NFL trade deadline came and went and the Baltimore Ravens did not make one single move Apparently, there was some talks apparently there was some conversation But obviously nothing came to fruition and for me personally I was disappointed I was not mad, but I was disappointed that nothing happened because I felt like the Baltimore Ravens could have gotten even stronger Then they already are yesterday, but it didn't happen So we got to move on but somebody who is moving on but probably in a better space than they may have been in yesterday Even days leading up to yesterday and probably the biggest winner of the Baltimore Ravens from them not doing anything at the trade deadline I would have to say is Gus Edwards Gus Edwards because when you think about it like you hear and heard all the talk about the Baltimore Ravens Possibly adding the running back to this room and adding a RB one Like a lot of people were saying like oh, yeah, the Baltimore Ravens need a true number one running back to add to this team Eleviate the workload for Gus Edwards take some off for Gus Edwards. It doesn't all just have to be on Gus Edwards But Gus Edwards, I'm sure as an NFL player at any position Like yeah other players take the workload off of you But at the same time you want to do everything yourself You want everything to be on you because you want to be the guy So with Gus Edwards with the Baltimore Ravens not trading for a running back not bringing anybody in at the running back position This get can give him an extra boost of confidence like oh, okay. It's my time now It's my time to shine and that three touchdown game against the air zone of Cardinals I'm sure that boosted his ego as it should have but now with them not trading for anything Gus is in a really good position to show everybody like hey. No, no, no, I got this trust me I really do now, of course I'm sure he wouldn't have been opposed to the Baltimore Ravens added another running back But at the same time, maybe he would have Internally and personally Gus Edwards has not been a type to make a big fuss about anything when it comes to his usage with the Baltimore Ravens And he has had every single right to in my opinion to make a big deal of the way that he is used or sometimes not used Because I've been saying it for a long time I feel like Gus Edwards should be there running back one right now, especially once that injury to JK Dobbins happened They should have been like all right Gus. It's all you but a lot of times they have failed to do that They limit Gus's carries almost and could it be strategy for the long haul? Could it be a strategy for to try to keep him and other running backs as fresh as possible down a stretch? Hey, who knows? I don't know. Maybe I Don't know no clue But I feel like Gus could have done a lot like games like he had against the Cardinals on Sunday I feel like he could have had a lot more of those if the Ravens like use him just a bit more now I know he has dealt with injuries over the past couple of years So you may want to limit his usage and bringing in another running back it could have helped that it could have alleviated a lot of what was on Gus's plate, but I'm sure Gus like I Don't think he'll want any alleviation off of his plate if that's even a word But I'm sure Gus will want his plate to be even bigger because you think about it like he's an NFL player he's an NFL player and When you are an NFL player you want everything that you can possibly get because you know the NFL stands for not for long I think about a Y receiver like a Y receive on the team if a Y receive is on the team They like if you add another Y receiver to the mix. They're cool. Okay. We got another guy All right, let's get it, baby. Would I take away from my numbers? Ah, yeah, it might a little bit But hey, that'll take some attention off of me too, but then you add another Y receiving to the team Okay, then you had another Y receiving to the team is like, okay, like We only got one ball to go around like I wanted what he wants it to and he wasn't and when you if they have the mindset of team player That was great, but why receive is their job is to catch the ball So if they ain't catching ball if they out there running routes and stuff ain't catch the body gonna get frustrated I think personally it's the same way. We're running backs to we're running We're really any position because they want the opportunity to be the guy They want their chances and if you add more to the mix then that takes away from their chances to shine So anyway with Gus Edwards I think that he has to be really happy that the Baltimore Ravens they did not end up making a move at the running back position Yesterday now another winner from this non trade is Justice Hill Justice Hill for reasons just like Gus Edwards to because Justice Hill his carries are already limited and He may have been thinking to if they trade for a runner back. Oh man Like I don't I don't had a couple of fumbles and whatnot. I had a little couple mistakes I don't have some nice plays to and more good plays than bad for certain But if they add another runner back, what will that do for me? So Justice Hill is definitely another winner of the Baltimore Ravens not making a move But one more winner that I really feel is extremely happy about the Baltimore Ravens not doing anything yesterday It's got to be Keith Mitchell and The reason it's got to be Keith Mitchell is because think about it like Keith Mitchell what he has for two carries I think to two carries so far and then he did he probably would have maybe a couple of more But he had a hamstring injury two weeks ago in the game But Keaton Mitchell Undrafted rookie free agent like think about this to two NFL carries so far in his career If they would have traded for a veteran running back whether it was Derek Henry whether it was Josh Jacob Zach Maul, Saquon, Barkley, whoever you name it. It didn't happen But if they were to trade it for one of those guys if I'm Keith Mitchell, I'm thinking oh man That's it for me That's a wrap. I'm I'm done Because he would have been competing for carries with Gus Edwards been here since 2018 a Veteran running back whether it was any of the ones we named or somebody else and If the Ravens traded for that person and they would certainly want to use that person that they gave up draft capital to acquire and then Justice Hill Who is on his second contract with the Baltimore Ravens and then he would have been next in line For a team that's passed in the ball a lot more than they have in recent years, too So he would he would have had to feel like oh man if they traded for somebody. I ain't gonna get nothing I'm just gonna be relegated to special teams if the if I'm even active on game days So I feel like Keaton Mitchell is sitting back He was watching everything as it goes on because we don't keep Mitchell beyond Twitter So he's I'm sitting sure you sit back watching everything that goes on and like man Okay, okay. I'm here in all the rumors. They they might get this guy. Are they talking to this guy? Are they talking to this team? Are they talking to that team? I don't know man But once four o'clock came and went and actually when it got to like four four four five Because sometimes some stuff trickles in last minute But when that time came and went and the Ravens had not made a move especially at the running back position Oh, keep Mitchell had to take a deep sigh. Oh, he's had to take a deep breath and realize We got a shot Seriously, because I really do think if Ravens would have acquired somebody That would have been it. That would have been a rap That's why even going into this season for Keaton Mitchell I was shaky about him because I was like, we got JK Dobbins. We got Gus We got Justice Hill and with him battling with Melvin Gordon I felt like he deserved the roster spot. I felt like he should have been on the team But I was like, I know how these Baltimore Ravens operate they undraft the rookie free agent over a veteran run the back Oh, yeah, no, they going with the veteran up, but they went with Keaton Mitchell and I was like, oh, okay But then if they would have brought somebody in then yeah That that probably would have been a wrap for him in any possible time that he could get carrying that football But for his sake it worked out. So now for Keaton Mitchell It's about for all three of those guys Gus Edwards Justice Hill Keaton Mitchell It's about making the most of those opportunities when they come because now it's officially like I mean they could sign somebody free agency or what now they can call it somebody from the practice squad But now it's officially all on you Gus Edwards. It's officially all on you Justice Hill It's officially all on you Keaton Mitchell Those are the Baltimore Ravens running backs for the foreseeable future for the rest of the this this season Those are the guys So it's up to them to carry the Ravens Are you see that get that little wordplay to carry the Ravens for the rest of the season into the playoffs and hopefully Into the Super Bowl man because the Baltimore Ravens despite them not having made a move yesterday They still got a real shot at making it happen. They really really do they really do so with them being the big winners of The Ravens not making any moves yesterday Now it's time for them to be winners on the field moving forward and now it's time to continue Especially for Gus Edwards and Justice. It's time to continue to show why hey, no, no, no, we good No, no, no, no, we got this. No, no, no We're straight at the running back position and you should be glad that the Baltimore Ravens didn't add anybody else
