The all caps on *FILLS A HOLE* in the title 💀
pause 😂
Yeah that’s crazy 😂 big “AYO”
seriously... I guess I typed in the wrong thing.. 🤷🏼 now here I am.
Y’all 10 years old or? Lol
huge pause 😭
CJGJ back on the Eagles going to help that secondary a lot.
Dude played 3 games last year... depends how he comes back from that injury.
The video editor knew what they were doing putting in the title like that 😭
NFL on ESPN hates the Eagles haven't you heard? 😂
without lamar ravens would not have been #1 in rushing so not the best argument. i think elite RB support rushing the ball for the ravens will be huge. keaton mitchell going down last year hurt the ravens in the playoffs
King Henry behind that Ravens line!!!? Im a Titans fan and that's scary
Facts
The have their Rb already Lamar Jackson
@@JV-NY987casual moron lmao
@@JV-NY987Shut up 🤓
Ravens just let go of 3 main olineman, traded starting rt Moses, second best lineman in zietler, let go of john Simpson, Stanley is clearly fading all ravens have rn locked in is center
I agree with RC ....The Eagles are up on this one but with that said the Ravens no drop off with King Henry
Exactly all everyone wants to talk about is no kelce and that downfall
@@vinnievinnie-sj5kr They wish
The ravens would’ve been in the Super Bowl if they had King Henry.
@@Aneeshtherave nah
This is the first elite back Lamar has had and they’ve still averaged over 200 rushing yards a game, this is a game breaking move
Oh, he's filling a hole all right. 🤫
In the biggest games, in the important spots, will the ravens give Henry the ball tho?
Ravens need outside threats more than help in the run game. Still, a great pickup though.
If the Eagles still have defensive issues, then every team still has defensive issues. Birds will be fine with Vic, CJGJ and their new shiny piece in Huff. I'm actually happy people continue to doubt the birds. Feels like 2022/2017 again.
I mean buddy we still have defensive issues lmaooo. They’re speaking facts. We still have no linebackers or corners + we are still light at the safety position even with cgj coming back. I don’t know why you’d be mad at that. Our draft still has to go in the right direction and we need to see if we can bring anyone else in.
@@samt7676you’re underestimating the difference that a competent coordinator makes in the nfl and it’s sad.
@@JayskiDinero I’m not. The play calling was awful. Hopefully the Eagles will be a lot better. You still need talent though my guy 😂😂😂😂. Tf do you think Fangio finna do with Bradberry?
@@samt7676 With Vic now at the helm, they will be set. This defense played well under Gannon, and it will out perform under Vic.
@@samt7676uhhhh not have Bradberry in one on one as much and we have a bevy of young players that are developing ex Ringo Ricks eagles didn’t collapse the players quit on the stupid coordinators
Ravens fan here. We still have a decent amount of holes as well, some being IOL, WR2, RT. Defensively, we need to retool at CB, and find Edge rush help.
The Henry signing is a great signing, don’t get me wrong. But we can’t act like we don’t have other spots we have to address.
I feel you I trust Eric ravens need to sign Josh sweat or chase on a cheap contract wide receiver they should draft Xavier worthy
Both of them suck, i havent seen sweat that much, but chase young absolutely is not that good, we need clowney back and draft receiver forsure, but i think both d and o line is the most important concern rn@@myleslivingston6971
King Henry will see holes he's never seen before in Baltimore
Naw
With what line man we just traded the starting rt, and let our second best lineman go in zietler, Stanley is clearly regressing, we just got center filled rn lol ravens changing the entire line
Titans oline early in his career was really really good they just got old or left over time
@@tannerlee652they were good but they never had a pro bowl level line men except Taylor lewan who’s been trash since before Henry came
It’s good to see Ryan Clark on 🎉
Hurts was having a good season until he injured his finger on his throwing hand in January.
I injured mine a couple of months ago and it made everything difficult i couldnt imagine having to throw a football especially at that level
He also was playing with a bruised knee since the jets game early in the season
What? Man hurt his hand the last game of the year. The eagles had already sold by then what you on about
Excuses
He outright sucked
@@adanysdrizzling shits
THEY SAID CMC WAS INJURY PRONE AND SHOULDN’T BE PAID. SAQUON DESERVES A CHANCE.
eagles have a young secondary that will get better so there corners are fine we just still need better LBs
The Eagles need to draft better LBs for there run fits.
Hurts & Lamar better be in the SB with these pick ups
To be fair, while the Ravens were the #1 rush offense. Lamar led them in rushing. My guess is they want to flip that and have Derrick Henry lead them
They were running practice squad running backs. Ravens need a durable reliable aggressive back. I wish king Henry the best and that he stays healthy.
Then what will Lamar do?😂
@@lakeozarkrei3767 as long as they run the ball more than 10 times with their rb they will be fine do you just forget they were the number 1 team in the nfl and they were scoring almost 30 a game?
@@metal100k Defense led the league in sacks and turnovers... a lot of short fields. If theor D slips even a little this season they're a 10 win team.
While I agree that for the ravens they have to execute better and that was a big reason they lost, Derrick Henry does fill a hole. The ravens only had justice hill and Keaton Mitchell on the roster, and Mitchell probably won’t play until midseason at best. They upgraded from Gus edwards to Derrick Henry. He did fill a hole that was essential to their success.
Facts. RC actin like gus isnt a charger
I'm with Stephen A. The Eagles D was the reason they lost it last year, not really their offense
Honestly the ravens biggest problem is the HC
I have an idea, how about drafting some linemen to protect your QB1, so he doesn't have to scamper around for his life, instead of ditching him for nothing?
Ravens already have a good RB. His name is Lamar Jackson
Explosivity is not a word 🙃
He made his own word 🤣🤣🤣
force’s everyone who plays the ravens to fill the box every play maybe even walk down a safety
Which is a good thing since Lamar struggles throwing the ball...
Tbh it’s the ravens I think it’s the ravens. Last year and previous years Ravens needed Lamar legs on top of decent RB play. But you can literally hand the rock off 20 times and Henry gonna get you at least 150 😂
I would love to see Caleb pull an Eli Manning and tell the Bears not to draft him.
Must a packers, lions or vikings fan
@@ShinefortheCam Nah Eagles fan and I want to see him in DC.
As a eagles fans Stephen is right Jalen is on the clock now he’s gotta show up an prove the doubters this year or we are looking at a QB next season
They talkin bout saquon CJGJ is the addition that I’m staring at
CJGJ & Huff were more important because we didn’t need help on offense like we needed on defense
Exactly. Best signing so far by Philly.
These sports media are obsessed with holes. Broussard yesterday and now ESPN today.
The bears need to draft Marvin Harrison Jr. with the 1st Pick n a QB with the 9th
The title is a pause
Did Sas skip the CJGJ news?
- Eagles had a bad season and loses because of their defense mostly. Signs a big name RB.
I don’t think the eagles needed saquon tbh
I thought Ryan Clark was gone from ESPN lol
Probably signed a new deal
Yes, media signs before the deadline also@@jakoblarson4597
Not Yet, but Soon 🤣
@@bigfootwalker5399he signed a new contract
Eagles need LBs like desperately
Secondary will be fine
Yo Saquon don’t even stay healthy stop it
Barkley is basically Reggie bush . Not a physical runner at all and he’s actually built to be physical but he’s not .
The eagles have time liek they have 3 picks in the first 2 rounds in the draft there are good defensive players in fa aswell
We developed Kelee Ringo still got slay signed CJ still got our rookie safety from last yea that we developed don’t let us be able to play Isaiah rodgers 👀 our secondary is good for next season plus our D Line is insane our O line is insane I think we just need more weapons for Jalen sign McConkie (I may have messed up his name)1st round and get us an amazing slot receiver and watch us win that BOWL PHILLY DOGS 🦅
Joe mixon to the Texans is a sleeper
🤔
Wait this headline makes no sense. Derrick Henry fills a hole but they talking defensive issues for the eagles? Lmao we're they thinking Derrick Henry was gonna play line backer for us? Lmao
He is talking about the fact that running back is a need for ravens while eagles should focus more on fixing that defense instead of signing saquon.
@@Aneeshtherave yeah I see the context. It's still a weird comparison.
Saquon brings more consistency I think swift was a good back but at times he was very inconsistent now that’s not all on him cuz the playcallin offensive last year was horrible but saquon is a back that can truly make nothing into something Derrick Henry to Baltimore is like when the cowboys drafted ceedee lamb when they had amari cooper in his prime along with Michael gallap coming off a good year as for Justin fields it’s a mystery how people view him so poorly I mean the guy ain’t a top 5 QB but he’s def a starting QB but I suppose the issue is he can only be drafted since I doubt the bears will just release him either way if he doesn’t get traded and the bears do draft Caleb Williams his career is probably over well starting career he will def have opportunities to be a back up on someone’s roster but as for starting I think that would be over
I feel bad for jk dobbins he’s never had a proper chance
Injury prone
He's been injured his entire career.
@@johnz8672 I know that’s what I mean
@@michaelf.bender3718 that’s what I mean he’s not had a chance to show his talen cause he’s always injured
Hurt every year it’s him not the ravens
Henry way bigger signing. He is a hall of famer . He had over 1400 yards with the titans last year. And they suck
JF1 is staying in Chicago.
That is such a poor take. Yes the eagles have had okay running back perform well behind the line they have, suddenly you add a world class RB means he’ll have the same production minimum but will create plays from nothing where previous guys would get tackled behind the los
Pause ayo
Philly hasnt had a back who could move the chains since legarrete blount 2017, saquon is that and sum thats all i kno
I love Barkley but he hasn't done anything remotely close to what Derrick Henry has done not to mention what Lamar does I do think the eagles are going to be really good I said it yesterday about CMAC is saquon but there's only one ball
People need to stop pretending Justin Fields is some kind of promising, great quarterback. That's the problem. 40td 30int, 60% career completion percentage. He's never thrown for more than 2500 yards. If you think he's a guy who can put your team in Super Bowl contention every year, if you think he's a franchise guy like that, that's fine, but it's not accurate.
super bowls, Ravens vs Eagles book it next
Eagles not winning another Super Bowl no time soon
Henry going to the Ravens just to lose to KC, Mahomes, and Reid again in the playoffs. 2024 Saquon is far from the monster he was coming out of Penn State. Plus the Philly's big problem is defense and he plays a non impactful position. No teams want Fields because he sucks
King Henry filling holes like a pro, while the Eagles are still digging themselves out of defensive issues... sounds like a job for a plumber, not a football team!
We literally just signed 2 defensive studs and were not done yet😂. dumb segment
They already got a running back playing QB
Stop. The ravens lost Queen. Eagles juiced up the team by adding Kellen Moore, Vic Fangio, CJGJ, Huff, Saquon, Campbell, Baum, and Devin White. Howie isn’t done. Henry is aging and the ravens o line is suspect. Think about this miles sanders had over 1,000 yards rushing, and DeAndre Swift had his career high rushing yards behind practically the same Oline. AND swift ranked last to yards after contact. Saquon, was a beast behind a trash O line. Put Saquon behind the Eagles O line and my goodness, “mama there goes that man!” Understand me! Literally every argument Stephen A. Smith made for the Ravens adding an aging Henry, you can make for Saquon and the Philadelphia Eagles. Stop it.
The Fields conversation is so dumb. Where was RC for that?
I hope it's just a pun thing, bc the problem was never the run game. Lamar played poorly against the Chiefs. You gotta be big time in big games.
neither...its pat queen to pitts
BRYCE HUFF, CJGJ
Mixon to Texans
Saquan easily he can catch a screen pass imagine him with lamar 🔥
Henry can too.
@Aneeshtherave I've never seen Henry do that don't they take him off the feild on 3rd down
Neither. How does it help either team? Ravens still need Lamar to step his game up throwing when it matters. Eagles second half collapse last year wasn’t a RB problem
The funny thing is he threw it. When they needed him to run the ball.
They needed to take pressure off of Lamar. He can’t be their leading thrower and runner bro.
U can tell this guy doesn't watch American Football... Everyone who actually watched the game, know the Ravens lost because they only ran the ball 6 times, after leading the league in rushing... Also their self inflected wounds w/ dumb penalties... Nothing to do w/ throwing the ball, when he had a better throwing game than Mahomes had
@@chrislee3053 a-typical excuse maker for Lamar. If you watched the game Lamar missed a lot of throws in the 2nd half, including badly underthrowing Flowers. Zay had to wait for the ball when he has wide open, which led to the fact he got hit from behind and fumbled. I hope you’re a Ravens fan so you can remember me telling you that you’ll never win a championship with a QB that is better at running then throwing.
Baltimore lost because they went away from running the ball( they led the league in rushing ).. Lamar was forcing the pass game when there were plenty of times that he should’ve ran the ball
nothing matters Cowboys superbowl
Barkley play cornerback, hes always hurt i m not worried about him he may play half the year
Well Saquan gotta stay healthy too
Will Swift stay healthy. Is Barkley running on Giants stadium turf.
Almost every team has field turf. His health is a legit question.
I can’t believe this dumb idea made it to first take🤦🏾♂️ keep fields and Williams WTH
Biggest signing is Saquon. People just talk to hear themselves. These dudes are idiots..Baltimore just was the best running team and yall mentioned them. Had to just talk about something i see
Yeah, what more Baltimore had to do…
Run more. 6 runs in a game they lost
Henry is getting at least 15 touches per game bro.
@@Aneeshtherave , maybe. Hope so. Ravens did run, more than any.
But why didn’t they run in the against KC?
Not because suddenly they could not. Because they wanted to prove something else.
So until that changes…
@@jakemaattanen let’s be real. Their running backs were a$$ bro. Monken probably didn’t trust his running backs in that situation. But with King Henry, it is guaranteed. Otherwise they wouldn’t try so hard to get him. This is the first time in the Lamar era where ravens got a real number 1 running back.
@@Aneeshtherave fair, during Lamar era hes always been the leading rusher as well.
@@Aneeshtheravebro I get the optimism and I am a ravens fan but what monken and harbaugh pulled off in our home against a very inferior team, let them come and bully us is unforgivable, I still think about that game, lamar shotgun every snap while they just blitz and almost sack him every play, when they ran in a proper run formation gus was doing good, we were the number 1 rush team against a bottom 10 rush team and ran it 6 times man I'm still baffled
Cowboys fans sad 😢 again.! 🤦🏾♂️
now lamar got all the weapons he needs, theres no more excuse!
They said the same thing last season🤦♂️😅
@@lakeozarkrei3767no they didn’t💀
@lavxbesdolp164 🤦♂️😅Dude... even Lamar said it! Preseason interview he said he was gonna throw for 6,000 yds last season!😅
Lamar will never win a ring stop talking about Philly
You hater and 🫵🏾 BIG MAD 😂😂😂
Molly only has her job because someone did to her what the title say Derrick Henry does.
Eagles still not gonna make the superbowl, defense is still not very good.
Both
Hurts is overrated, he's not himz , I like Steffen a Smith, he keep it real I don't believe that, we need a whole new coaching staff, DeAndre Swift came threw if we ran the ball more, Baltimore gone take off with Derrick Henry,
Nick sarrisn job been on the line, he sucks as a coach, hurts overrated
