What was debated weeks ago has become obvious now: it’s time to start rookie running back Audric Estime.
Audric Estime of the Denver Broncos breaks away from Ar’Darius Washington of the Baltimore Ravens during the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ 41-10 win at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024. The most promising and deflating takeaway from the Ravens’ rout of the Broncos centered on one player: Bo Nix. He met the moment but emerged as the Broncos’ QB1, WR2 and RB1.
There are, however, upgrades in-house. All comic book characters don’t wear capes. In the absence of help from the Man of Steel, Incredible Hulk is walking the hallways. What was debated weeks ago has become obvious now: It’s time to start rookie running back Audric Estime. And Estime represents someone capable of providing more juice. His path is no longer interrupted by an ankle injury that sidelined him for a month or concerns over ball security. Fumbles are unacceptable. And his two made him hard to trust. But he has responded well to adversity, showing he has learned and applied coaching points in his limited chances the past few weeks.
While Williams has struggled in short yardage and goal-line situations — not stretching the ball out on fourth-and-inches against the Ravens was a critical mistake — Estime profiles as a pile mover.
