The Facts: HC John Harbaugh believes Dixon and Terrance West proved themselves this past season. He feels those running backs made names for themselves. But ... "We need another back," Harbaugh said. "What type of back that is? I think we're talking about it. We have a pretty good idea of the type of back we want to add."
Diehards Line:
According to ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley, the type of back the Ravens need is a game-breaking one. Last season, Baltimore running backs produced 20 yards or more on six touches. There were 13 individual running backs who totaled more. Of course, Baltimore only averaged 22.3 rushing attempts in 11 games with Marty Mornhinweg as the play caller. Only four teams had fewer (the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams). Harbaugh didn't rule out the third running back could be on the roster. "It could be Buck Allen, who played really well early in the season, and him taking the next step as far as developing himself," Harbaugh said. "You didn’t see it, but he practiced really well the last half of the season. Those two guys and another one is what we need.”
