It has been reported that Ravens GM Eric DeCosta did all that he could to upgrade the team’s tailback position prior to the October 31 trade deadline. For whatever reason, it just didn’t happen.
The effort was never meant to be a slight towards Gus Edwards. It was more about fortifying a position that will be more and more critical as inclement weather begins to affect games more frequently. It was also about the team having the requisite tools to finish games and take the air out of the football for opponents.
As tough a runner that Edwards is, he hasn’t exactly been the team’s bell cow.
