It's him or Ingram, right? Unless Jackson has already fully recovered. Between a reserve UDFA that they basically just pulled from a local college and a veteran that's new to the team but has played a lot of games in zone coverage I imagine they'll take the veteran. Frazier is familiar with Rhodes, I think he's more than just a body.

 

Yeah I’d rather have the vet myself. But it’ll probably just depend on what kinda shape he’s in. Or if he can get in game shape in just a few days.

Rhodes has some ability or at least had...up to the Bills coaches to get it out of him. If anyone can its them.

 

They had Jamarcus Ingram looking OK

Yea he's playing this week.

[BananaB]

Can he play safety once the guys start getting healthy?

We worked him out today so presumably they're comfortable with the shape he's in. Pros like him are always ready for that call. I think he'll be ready to go this weekend, I mean he'll have to be. We have no other options on the roster.

[Solomon Grundy]

Y'all joking, but he can be the Kelce stopper we've been needing on this team if he's healthy and in shape. Great job Mr. Beane

I hope he won’t walk out and quit at halftime!

 

We could use one healthy half from a CB. I’ll take it!!!

Too late in the season to make that switch but he should honestly consider it. He has the size and that's a good way to try and extend his career since corner is a young man's game and with his experience and knowledge he would probably be a ball hawk back there

[Irv]

Can he push the other guys wheelchairs?

I'd rather sit him this week so he can get back into game shape. The Ravens receiving corp aren't world beaters, with the exception of Mark Andrews. If rushed into action it may make him more susceptible to injury.

Ya don't need it. Just remove it at halftime.

Whoever doesn't like this is just dumb

If we're picking between a somewhat out of game shape Rhodes and Ja'Marcus Ingram I'm still taking Rhodes. Ingram is not someone we can count on for a whole game, he was just our emergency option last week. Maybe Jackson is further along than I think and all of this will be moot anyways. Even in that scenario I would still elevate Rhodes for this game just to have the option available.

Very surprised if he plays against the Ravens.  More surprising things have happened though 

He is absolutely going to get called up your only other option there is an undrafted UB ball player

I think that’s diggs too in one of the photos 

 

These guys know him and what he’s got. If we need an outside guy, better a guy OUR guys know and trust.

He’s GOT to be better than Wal Mart housewares associate Ja’Marcus Ingram, right?!

[Airseven]

If you’re forced to pick from the scrap heap then I guess he isn’t the worst choice. The guy is washed but the realistic standard is to outplay Cam Lewis. 🤷‍♂️

How dare you mock a guy who laid his life on the line Sunday..........you really should gouge your own eyeballs out. 

 

[NewEra]

Happy to see him signed today.  Didn’t have a good feeling about it happening if he left town.  
 

what’s up with Cam Lewis? Is he strictly a S/slot now?  I figured he would’ve taken the snaps at corner over Ingram.  Or Neal?  Is he strictly slot?  Is Ingram really a better option than either of these guys who have been in the system for a few years?  Maybe we found a Diamond in the rough.
