    What are your thoughts on going after gus? He plays a backup role in Baltimore. 3 rd string at times. Made less then Conner this year. :cool:

    Now which Steeler RB is an FA? I can see him being a serviceable backup. I honestly noticed him just recently.

    Is he not a restricted free agent? Why would Baltimore let him go?

    He is about James Conner level but more durable

    Done with Conner. Steelers will just hand it off to Snell /Mac next year. Need a OL first , great studs at RB come out every season. A FA RB is for a team ready to take the next level. That`s not us.

    I've always liked Gus. Tough runner with pretty good vision. Won't dazzle you with his moves but can get it done.

    Not sure if he's a number 1 back though. He's a tick more explosive than Snell. As a compliment, I like him.

    We need a number 1. I think Snell can be a decent 2nd. Problem with that is, it seems like Snell needs like 10 carries before he starts getting into a rhythm. But, being the back up, he doesn't get it.

    Want to see more from Mac when we get that OL straightened out.

    Durability is the problem. Yes he's a restricted fa. It depends what they tender him at. He runs hard and picks up big chunks when used. I think he'd be a nice big back to have in the backfield. He, Snell and Mac would make a nice backfield. :cool:

    That could be an interesting pickup.

    Those guys are probably gonna draft another RB anyways.

    I don't see why the Ravens would let Edwards go. They are so reliant on the running game. They are going to want to keep him to pair with Dobbins.

    If Ben is coming back we don't need any RB'S ,we should let Juju go and try and trade Claypool and Washington...If we intend to run the dink and dunk we need guys like Lockett ,Godwin and such or draft guys like Kadarius Toney,Devonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle.. No need for outside type WR'S or bigger guys who have top end speed..

    The correct way to run the dink and dunk is with guys who have short area quickness and are elusive in space...Draft the Fastest TE in the draft draft a scat RB who is basically a WR who can run as well ..Kenny Gainwell is such a guy...

    Until we fix our issues with the OL be it scheme or personal no RB is going to help.

    Well they signed Trey back to a reserve futures contract, does this fill that Edmunds void?

    He’d have to give up his nickname, the Bus is reserved for only one person.

    The Gus Bus is the short Bus compared to Bettis.

    we should be able to do both. If we get a good rb, a good line coach and a couple of linemen, it all can be done. Dotson is a good start already.:cool:

    He is a restricted free agent. He may want out of Baltimore, but the Ravens don't have to let him leave.

    Ravens had too many running backs:
    Ingram
    Dobbins
    Edwards
    Jackson
    Hill
