1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We heard from

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: general manager Eric Dacasa and head coach John Harball today

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: at the NFL Scouting Combine, and there is a lot

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: to come out of it. So we're gonna break down

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: all of that for you today, give you our kind

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: of you know, they say what they say, and then

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: we read between the lines and kind of put the

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: puzzle pieces together here as to what our thoughts about

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: are about what they said. And Garrett as his Garret's

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: in Endy. By the way, Garrett, if you had the

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: steak dinner at Saint Almos yet, now that's coming here soon.

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Very I mean, did you start yourself all day? You know,

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: time is taken on this podcast, you know if it's

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: if it's running along and I get a little bit

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: anty at the end, you know why I got a

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: reservation to hit. How much money are you spending on

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: this dinner? Garrett? Well, Jim Kohler is if you're listening,

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: my guy, Jim Kohler knows we got an agreement our

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: great boss Michelle. You want to improve my expense reports anymore?

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: So now I have to just send us set for one. Jim,

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, Michelle just shuts it down. I can't wait

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: for you to get in trouble. It's gonna be great

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: highlight of my year every year. Anyway, as expected, there

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: are a lot of questions about Lamar Jackson and the

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: status of his contract negotiations. You know, nothing too enlightening

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: or different on that front. You know, Erica Costa says,

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, said he remains optimistic that they can reach

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: an extension, you know, but short on specifics. They're never

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: going to go into specifics about what the offers are.

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: You know, I thought one of the more enlightening moments

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: and it wasn't on the podium, but it was, you know,

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: they have kind of a session to the side after

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: they do the podium and he was asked kind of

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: more specifically, do you feel like negotiations are progressing? Are

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: they going in kind of the right direction that you

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: want to see? And he kind of answered that with, yeah,

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm always going to be optimistic. You know, I'm always

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: going to be optimistic, and I don't know, you know,

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: conversations are ongoing. That is a positive, right, he said,

40
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: he met with him. You know, Eric met with Lamar

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: recently and there's there's texts exchanging here both ways. But

42
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: I thought that answer from Eric, you know, not really

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: shedding too much late on whether there's a lot of

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: positive momentum towards a deal, was a little bit enlightening. Well, look,

45
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: let me take a step back here. I think one

46
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: one thing that I took away from hearing from both

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: of them is that I feel like over the past week,

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: ten days or so, the temperatures of the temperature of

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: things has just heated up a little bit. You know,

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: you got the stephen A stuff, and you've got different

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: reports that are out there, and there's speculation that the

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: relationship is frayed, and all this stuff from the outside.

53
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: And to me, I thought, in hearing from both John

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Harbor and Eric to Costa, it cooled the temperature a

55
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: little bit in my mind. And and basically saying, guys,

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: we've got a good relationship with Lamar, we are having conversations,

57
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: those conversations are ongoing. We want him to be our quarterback.

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: We're not gonna negotiate publicly here in talking about what

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: the specifics of a deal are and if it's fully guaranteed,

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: like the costas said from day one, that's not how

61
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: he's going to operate. And I just think that, like,

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: in hearing from both of them, you're like, okay, like

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: they want Lamar as their quarterback still that is unchanged,

64
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: and they're working towards getting that done and they're optimistic

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: that it will get done. So, you know, the relationships stuff,

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: I just feel like has been kind of this this

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: conversation that has like picked up and been like, what's

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: going on here? Do these sides, these two sides on

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: the same page, So Lamar want to be there? Do

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens want to In hearing from them today, I

71
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: thought it just cooled the temperature a little bit and

72
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: made you feel like, Okay, look, the Ravens want Lamar.

73
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: And it was similar. It was similar to me to

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: the end of the season presser, which was the last

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: time we heard from Eric Costa and John Harball about

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: the same matter. Right like the season ended, Lamar was injured.

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: There's all the speculation about whether, you know, he should

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: have come back and played in the playoffs and whether

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: he was healthy enough to do whatever. There was all

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: that talk, and it was kind of heat. You know,

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: the temperature was rising outside this building at least, you know,

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: and then once they talked, I was like, okay, all right,

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: everything's cool, right, Like they want Lamar back. It's very clear.

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: And then when you don't hear from anybody and there's

85
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: just speculation, then things oftentimes it's like what's going on?

86
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: You know? And to your point that it starts to

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: get a little hotter, And I agree with you that

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: every time the Ravens talk about this, and Eric Costa

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: and John Harball talk about this, you always come away

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: with the feeling of, look, the relationship is good, and

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: they want him to be the quarterback. It's a matter

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: of getting that done. Now We've been saying that for

93
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: a long time, right, the question remains is gonna get done?

94
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of to my original point that while

95
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I think things are are you know, the relationships still

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: seems steems good and all that stuff, like everything that

97
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: we just got done, saying, I didn't get a feeling

98
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: of like, oh this is they're raided on the cosp

99
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it also, you know,

100
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Eric's Costum made a comment about any negotiation, any good

101
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: faith negotiation takes compromise on both sides, right, And like

102
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: I thought that was one of his more insightful moments.

103
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, he was talking about just how these negotiations

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: need to work and that you're gonna have to give

105
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit to get a little and there's

106
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: been tons of speculation about the fully guarantee contract and

107
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and we don't know, you know, if

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: both sides are giving up stuff or not, you know

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: what I mean. And so, but I thought that he

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: went into a little bit more detail about the process

111
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: of negotiations, not the specifics of this case, but I

112
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: thought that that was a little interesting. Yeah. The other

113
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: thing too, is like this idea of deadlines, and this

114
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: is the case for teams across the league, like deadline

115
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: spur action, and you often see things start to get

116
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: done when you get closer to the deadline. Well, there's

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: like a bunch of fake deadlines here for the Ravens,

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Like there's kind of a deadline, like the franchise tag

119
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: deadline is the first one, which is March seventh, and

120
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: so that right, so they have to decide and they

121
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: did say to Costa said they have not made a

122
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: determination or at least they're not willing to share one

123
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: yet as to whether they would use the exclusive or

124
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the non exclusive tag on Lamar. I don't know if

125
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: that would be partly based on any conversations they have

126
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: here in Indianapolis, you know, would that could that alter

127
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: the decision based on if they get a feel for

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: what other teams would potentially offer him if they did

129
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: the non exclusive tag. I don't know, but like, you know,

130
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: just being here, I can tell you that, like everyone's

131
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: having these conversations. It's like, you know, what's gonna happen

132
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: with Lamar? Where's you gonna go? Lamar? Watch? That's what

133
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: everybody in large measures talking about here in Indianapolis, and

134
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: so like, I'm sure that that's part of the conversation,

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: um and so so. But that's the first deadline. But

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: that's you know, then there's the deadline that you know,

137
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: you have to work out a new deal or play

138
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: under the salary or the franchise tag for the season.

139
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: That's in May, correct, right, and so that's that's that's

140
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: the that's the that's the hard deadline right there, getting

141
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: it for getting a deal done, yeah, at least for

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: this year for this exactly always like and then it's like, well,

143
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: there's a franchise tag option for next year, you know,

144
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: so it's like, well the deadline, what is the deadline?

145
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of like soft deadlines that are

146
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: around the corner um when I thought that that kind

147
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: of speaks to another point that Eric Decosto made, which

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: is they're in this kind of haze was the word

149
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: that he used. You know that, like right now when

150
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: planning the twenty twenty three Baltimore Ravens roster and what

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: it looks like, you just don't know. They're kind of

152
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: handcuffed to a degree by this whole deal, which is

153
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: by far the biggest matter on the plate. You know

154
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: that they have to figure out Lamar before they can

155
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: really plan everything else, right, And I mean I think

156
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: everybody feels that way, you know. I mean you're doing

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: mock drafts and you're like, well, if the Ravens trade

158
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, this is going to be completely irrelevant. Yeah,

159
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, and if they put the exclusive franchise tag

160
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: on them, well, now you're releasing a bunch of players,

161
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: restructuring players, you have no cap room, so just basically

162
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: wipe out free agency. This that whole process is nothing. Right,

163
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: if he's going to plan under the exclusive tag, if

164
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: he's if they're ptuting the non exclusive like, okay, now

165
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: what options do we have? Do you know, can we

166
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: go get a receiver and free agency if we cut

167
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: these guys. It's just not knowing what that's gonna be

168
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: really has them, you know, even extending players extending if

169
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: you're going to extend a guy like a Patrick Queen

170
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: or Devin Duvernet or whoever it might be, right, you

171
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: can't really figure that out because you don't know what

172
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five salary caps are

173
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna look like without knowing whether Lamar's going to be

174
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: on a big contract on that. Yeah, I mean when

175
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: we did the salary cap episode and when we did

176
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: the offseason Blueprint episode, I felt like we kind of,

177
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, you come up to whatever say Marcus Peters.

178
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: Let's say Marcus Peters, so the Raven's gonna resign Marcus

179
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: Peters NT and everything just comes back to the same thing.

180
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: It's like, well, the first domino to fall is Lamar Jackson,

181
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, let's move to justin Houston. What's

182
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Well, your first thing, you know, and so

183
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: it's just like everything kind of comes back to that,

184
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: and it is you know, it is getting going back

185
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: to the deadline point, like the deadline on that from

186
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: a franchise tags tendpoint, I think has even more of

187
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: an impact on the rest of the roster, more so

188
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: than Lamar because of the point that you're making, like

189
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: it has it certainly has an impact on themar but

190
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: just from like if they've put the franchise tag on

191
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: themar either one of them, it's going to take up

192
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: a huge amount of salary cap space, which limits what

193
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to do in free agency

194
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: even as they continue to work towards that long term contract.

195
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: So like that is just going to that is the

196
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: it's we keep repeating ourselves, but like there's just a

197
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: ripple effect from that that is going to affect everything

198
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: else that the Ravens do well. When Eric Cottson talked

199
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: about having and John Harball talked about having contingency plans,

200
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, Eric said he has four or five six

201
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: different plans, right, and yeah, that's what you have to have.

202
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: You know, we did the off season Blueprint podcast. The

203
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Ravens probably have four different blueprints, right. You have the

204
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: the we signed Lamar to a long term extension blueprint

205
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: and what his year one cat number would probably be

206
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: and what that allows you to do. And here's the

207
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: blueprint of what we'd like to execute under that plan.

208
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: You have the exclusive tag, you know, the non exclusive

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: tag blueprint, and you have the potential. You know, this

210
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: is not really one that they're you know, entertaining right now,

211
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: but you probably have it just because you have to

212
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: do your homework. Is the Lamarch trade consingency plan? What

213
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: does that look like? Right? And so? And just on

214
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: that note, I mean, Decasa did say the idea of

215
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: trading Lamar is not something that's like factored into his

216
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: mind right at that point. So like, you know, I look,

217
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: they're going to have all these different plans in there,

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: there's these blueprints, and they're gonna map all that out

219
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: and be prepared for every option. But I just want

220
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: to say that he is not right. His focuses on

221
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: keeping Lamar, not trading him away. Correct, He said that directly. Also,

222
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: by the way, if you want to listen to the

223
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: full pressors from both Hardball and Acosta a little Pluck

224
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: here for a new podcast Ravens Press Pass, those pressors

225
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: in their entirety are living in the Ravens Press Pass feed,

226
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: so you can check those out in their entirety there

227
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: if you want to hear everything they had the same

228
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: It was mostly about Lamar. You're getting a pretty good

229
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: summary right here, but there was a couple other questions

230
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: that were mixed in there. Always a couple of randoms,

231
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, like just like at the combine here, like

232
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: typically when we have a press conference in Baltimore, there's

233
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty five reporters. Twenty five is a large

234
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: contingency when you step to these podiums here, like there

235
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: might be fifty sixty people around the podium, so there's

236
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: and some of them are from all over the country,

237
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: so you never know what questions are gonna you're gonna get.

238
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of random ones in there. So

239
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: when you listen to it in its society, you'll know

240
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Yeah, exactly. But it's if you

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: want to hear from the horse's mouth, yeah, go listen

242
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: Ravens Press Past. Make sure you subscribe, rate and review

243
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: that as well. It's good. A lot of good stuff

244
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: is going to be going there, so make sure you

245
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: do that all right. Any other thoughts on Lamar. I

246
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, look, as I said, everyone

247
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: is having this conversation. It's it's the talk of the

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: talent here is, you know, as I'm talking with different

249
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: media folks and everyone is interested in what's going to

250
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: happen here. Um. But the sense that I get is

251
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: that the Ravens still absolutely want Lamar as their quarterback.

252
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: Like that's just the feeling that I get, and I

253
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: think that the numbers are a huge component of that.

254
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: But I still think that the Ravens want to have

255
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is their quarterback this year and beyond, and

256
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I think that like that is a huge starting point.

257
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: The question is whether they can find a meeting ground

258
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle, is what it seems like absolutely,

259
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: or are both sides not gonna or you know, or

260
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: their heels dug in. Basically it's a question. That's a question,

261
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: and so we'll see. But the dialogues continue and it

262
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: sounds like those like talks like that there's an open

263
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: line of communication. So that I think is certainly one

264
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: takeaway from this. You know, it's not like it doesn't

265
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: seem yeah, just to wrap this all up, it doesn't

266
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: seem like it's a done deal that both sides know whatever.

267
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, this isn't happening right, Like, they're still talking,

268
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: they're still communicating. It seems like there is still absolutely

269
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: a chance that you know, they're both listening and talking,

270
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: and that is where you need to be in negotiations.

271
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: If they both had just they're setting their ways and

272
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: they said whatever, I'm not budget from this, and Lamar's

273
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm not budgeting from that, then they wouldn't be talking.

274
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: It'd be done. But they're still talking, and so that's

275
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: that's a very positive thing, totally, all right. So some

276
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: other notes after hearing from them, let's stick with the

277
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: guys who are currently on the team. Then we can

278
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: talk prospects. But I thought the receiver, I mean, this

279
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: is kind of both, but for the receiver position, they're

280
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: high on Bateman and Bateman's coming back from from the injury.

281
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Dakasa said that they're glad that they got the surgery done.

282
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: You know, he had the Liz Frank procedure done and

283
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: they may have got out and gotten out ahead of

284
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: it a little bit, which is good. I mean, like

285
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: you hear Liz Frank and we've seen this with marquee

286
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: players in recent years. Marcus Brown had it, Jimmy Smith

287
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: had it, and it's like one of those Oh boy,

288
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a long road. And it sounds

289
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: like Bateman has made real progress. He's itching to get

290
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: back on the field and they like where he is,

291
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: So that to me is really good. Yeah. I think

292
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: when everybody's having this conversation about the Ravens wide receiver

293
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: corps and and uh, you know, the Ravens history of

294
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: drafting wide receivers and all this stuff, Like I understand

295
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: it's been a bummer that Bateman's missed time so much

296
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: time because of the injuries. You know, as rookie year,

297
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: you had the core muscle surgery, the hernia surgery or whatever,

298
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: and missed what was it the first five six games, right, ye?

299
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: And then last year obviously you missed most of the season,

300
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: and like that is frustrating. But whenever that dude's been

301
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: on the field, it's always he's always looked good. Always, yeah, right,

302
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: And so like I just I think, do not write

303
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: off Rashad Bateman being a big part of this offense

304
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: next year. And it certainly seems like they are excited

305
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: about his potential to be that moving forward. I totally agree.

306
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: And just while we're on the receiver topic, they're going

307
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: to add in the draft and they like the receiver class,

308
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: like that's a that's a takeaway. Actually hearing from both

309
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: from DaCosta Hardball and Joe Ortiz, Director Player Personnel. I

310
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: talked with him out here there. They seem to like

311
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: this receiver class. And I know that Daniel Jeremiah recently said,

312
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't feel like it's quite as strong, but

313
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens seem to like the class. Well. The funny

314
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: thing about that is, like I think when analysts are

315
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: talking about that, what they're talking about is it's not

316
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: like last year when there was what three or four

317
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers taken in the top fifteen. There was five

318
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: in the top sixteen picks there you go, exactly more

319
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: than I even remember. Right, So this year there's not

320
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna be five wide receivers in the top sixteen. You

321
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: can book, you can take that to Vegas right now.

322
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be five wide receivers in top sixteen.

323
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: There might only be one, right, one or two maybe

324
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: and and or none right possibly? Yeah, I agree, but

325
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: like no one predicted five in the top sixteen last year. Yeah,

326
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: but I but I think what they're just saying is like,

327
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: you don't have the top end talent this year, that

328
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: at least perceived top end talent this year that there

329
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: was last year right when you had like a and

330
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: there those guys all for the most part did really well,

331
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, in their rookie seasons, like it panned out.

332
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: It seems this year there's more that cluster of guys

333
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 1: that run could happen in the twenties is what it

334
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: looks like looking at mock drafts. And so I don't

335
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: think that, which is fine for the Ravens, right Like,

336
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: if that's the Ravens are like, sure, I'll take this

337
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: quote unquote week wide receiver class all day because I'm

338
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: going to have my pick of two or three guys

339
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: at twenty two, right, Like that might work out better.

340
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: We've all compared it to the Marquis Brown twenty nineteen class,

341
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: right where Markis Brown was the first wide receiver off

342
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: the board at twenty five, and that class produced several studs, right,

343
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: And so you know people might have back then, if

344
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: you rewind the tape, people might have been like, yeah,

345
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: it's a weaker wide receiver class this year, and that's

346
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: kind of what they're talking about. With this year's class.

347
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: It might turn out to be just fine for the

348
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: Ravens needs. Yeah, totally, I'm with you, and that that

349
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: seems to be how they look at it. Yeah, and

350
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: like they do, they just and then a corner well

351
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: to stick to stick at wide receiver before you move on. Yeah.

352
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: The other takeaway there was Eric Costa. You know, there's

353
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: been some people are saying the Ravens haven't drafted well

354
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: at wide receivers, has just stopped doing it, Go get

355
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and sign a veteran and whatever. Right, Nah,

356
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna be the strategy. Eric to Costa made

357
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: it very clear, we're gonna keep taking our swings and a.

358
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: I think he also pushes back in the notion that

359
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: they haven't drafted particularly well at wide receiver in recent years.

360
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Brown, it was a pretty good, darn good player.

361
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Eric Costa's first draft pick at wide receiver, Miles or

362
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay in the third round was pretty good pick. Right,

363
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: jury's still out. Bateman looks like a very good player

364
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: who's just had injuries, Right, we're gonna see. But they're

365
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: clearly high on him. So like they're gonna keep taking

366
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: their swings at wide receiver. While acknowledging yes they haven't,

367
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: he even said, you know, basically, we haven't hit a

368
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: home run at wide receiver yet, you know, and in

369
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: recent years, maybe you can say they've had some doubles

370
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: or triples. We'll see. Maybe Bateman is a home run.

371
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: He hasn't been yet, but you know, we're seeing it, right,

372
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: he looks good at the plate, you know what I mean,

373
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: how are you gonna take this? Basically, it's a full count.

374
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: It's a full count, critical critical year three for a shot, baby,

375
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: and it's a three and two count baby. Anyway, Like,

376
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: the point is they're gonna draft some more wide receivers.

377
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: Their history at that position is not going to slow

378
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: them down from doing so whatsoever. Yeah, I'm with you,

379
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. I mean, they only got five picks

380
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: this year, so you know, like the past years, Erica,

381
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: he would like some more picks. He would, he would,

382
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't know if he'll They'll draft

383
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: multiple like they've done. You know, they did it with

384
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: Hollywood and Miles Pork and Um, they've done it with

385
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: multiple years, so they could have taken five receivers under

386
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: Dakosta in his draft. So um, I don't know that

387
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: they'll draft multiple this year, but I would put my

388
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: stamp down. This isn't exactly a hot take. The gonna

389
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: be at least one. Last year they did not draft

390
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: one for the first time under Eric Dakasa. That will

391
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: not be the case this year. Yes, correct, totally. You're

392
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: going to talk about corners. Yeah, corner like they liked,

393
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: They like the corner draft, and this is loaded. He

394
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: said ten guys in the first two rounds that he

395
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: could see going, and there's a bunch of different players

396
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: who could fit the mold there, and it just seems

397
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: like it's I already said that. I feel like the

398
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna go first round wide receiver and then

399
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: they don't have a second round pick. So it's like,

400
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, if ten corners going the first yar rounds,

401
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens may not get any of them. But and

402
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: they've had success, They've got a they've had a lot

403
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: of success. I mean, you can criticize the drafting in

404
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the receiver position, they've had a lot of success at

405
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: drafting corners, especially early in the first round. They take

406
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: a first round corner, I feel pretty good that he's

407
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: going to turn out to be a really good player.

408
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: And so, you know, do they end up doing that,

409
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: we'll see. But they feel really good about the depth

410
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: of the corner class and really top heavy. It's a

411
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: it's a good group up top. It's basically good throughout

412
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: the entire draft. So really good corner class is how

413
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: they think, right, yeah, And and really what it comes

414
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: down to, I think we've we've said this, It's probably

415
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: gonna come down to a wide receiver or a corner

416
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: at twenty two, right, yeah, I mean yeah, So it

417
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: looks like there's a cluster of wide receivers that are

418
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: going to go in that range, and it looks like

419
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: there's also a cluster of cornerbacks that are going to

420
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: go in that range. And so Eric Decassa is certainly

421
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: no stranger to moving around the board, to maneuvering. And

422
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 1: it would surprise me at this point. Now, you know,

423
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: things change after free agency and whatnot. You know, maybe

424
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters is already back at this point, right when

425
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: we get to the draft, and you say, well, cornerback

426
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: isn't as much of a need now you have young guys,

427
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: you have Marcus MP back, you know whatever. But as

428
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: we stand here now, like I would bet that they

429
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: come away with one those two positions at twenty two.

430
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: That's I agree with you on that. And I just

431
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: think that like the way the board falls, it's it's

432
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: good for the Ravens. To talk to Bucky Brooks today

433
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: and he said, like in that cluster there late first,

434
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some really good corners. Joey Porter Junior

435
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: is one that you know a lot of people mentioned

436
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: the Maryland kids. Yate Banks is another who a lot

437
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: of people mentioned big corners. So both of those guys

438
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: could end up being Smith, I think from South Kim Smith.

439
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Bucky also mentioned him, yeah, as a possibility. So you know,

440
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: I think that there's gonna be some good options at

441
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: either position. And or even if they move back a

442
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, would not be I think, as

443
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: I wrote in mailbag this week, would not be surprising

444
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: at all to see the Ravens move back a little

445
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: bit and still say there's wide receivers in corners here

446
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: that we like and we're gonna get one of them. Yeah, yeah,

447
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: would not be surprised. All right, they take a quick

448
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: break and then we'll give you our final thoughts on

449
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: the pressers from today. All right, mate, So I know

450
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: that my location has changed. Okay, I'm an Indie. This

451
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: week you're in Baltimore. The sports landscape is also changing

452
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: every week every week. Okay. DraftKings as a leader in

453
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: daily fantasy sports, and it still has daily fantasy contest

454
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: running for everyone who wants to have some skin in

455
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: the game. So here's how it works. You every player

456
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: has a salary associated with drafting him. You assemble lineup

457
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,680

00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: That read no, Well yes that I was gonna say,

466
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: how much money are you about to be spent on

467
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: that steak? In a couple hours. Oh yeah, yeah, that

Speaker 1: Who couldn't resist going back to the well couldn't resist.

470
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: Um all right, so let's talk about some some free agents,

471
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: some perspective free agents. That was another takeaway from Erica

472
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: Costa's press conference. Uh said he's been in contact with

473
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters agents and expects to those talks to continue.

474
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Reiterated how much he likes Marcus Peters. Um. So, nothing

475
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: really too new there except that he's in talks basically. Um.

476
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: So that seems like it could happen at any time, really,

477
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: um yeah, And I don't know, I mean like it

478
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: could or could not. I mean I think that he

479
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: likes Marcus Peters and he wants him back. Yeah, theory.

480
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: But at the same time, Marcus's part of this whole

481
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: puzzle piece. Yeah, Like Marcus Peters knows how the business

482
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: side of this game works. He's been traded a couple

483
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: of times. Like, he's not afraid to go out there

484
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: and test the market, and he was there, so like,

485
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, but I think I do think he wants

486
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: to stay in Baltimore. I think that's genuine I think

487
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: he genuinely likes being here and would like to stay here. Yeah,

488
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: everybody kind of says that. I feel that, you know,

489
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters has, like before his knee injury way back

490
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: when said this place from juvenate his career. He's waxed

491
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: poetically about how much he likes it here. And I

492
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: also sensed the same genuine like appreciation from Eric to Costa. Yeah,

493
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: when I talked to Rappaport here, he basically said the

494
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: same thing that he You know, Peters has bounced around

495
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: a little bit in his career, feels like he found

496
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: a real home in Baltimore. Staying in Baltimore seems like

497
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: the right fit. He actually thought that they might try

498
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: to work out a deal in the middle of the

499
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: season to extend him. Right Obviously that didn't happen, but

500
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, Rappaport's perspective was that he'd expects him to

501
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: probably end up landing back with the Ravens. The other

502
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: big one is justin Houston. Yeah, you know, nine and

503
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: a half sacks last year, and based on what the

504
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Costa said, it's kind of what we've predicted. I mean,

505
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: it's just like similar script to the past few years

506
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: most likely, and Justin Houston signed a couple of years ago,

507
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, middle of training camp. It was a little

508
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: bit when was it when did he signed last years before? Yeah,

509
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: he was here at the start of training camp. I

510
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: think it was in like June something like that. But

511
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: Eric Costa said today that he expects it to follow

512
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: that same script, which is which is somewhat newsworthy because

513
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: the question with Justin Houston was coming off of season

514
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: with nine and a half sacks despite his age, could

515
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: he be a guy that kind of cashes in to

516
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: some degree in that first or second wave of free agency?

517
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Right like if he if he were swept off his

518
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: feet with a whatever eight million dollars a year offer

519
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: from somebody, like does he think that? And Eric's feeling

520
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: is that won't be the case that you know, even

521
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: though he had a big year with nine a half sacks,

522
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: that it would probably play out. And that's really ideal

523
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, I think, because by that point you

524
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: have more clarity on Lamar Jackson. You know what your

525
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: cap situation is. You're coming out of the draft, and

526
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, did they you know, if it's not a

527
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver or a corner. The other first round most

528
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: likely scenario would be a past rusher. You know, whether

529
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: you've drafted that pass rusher or not, you know what

530
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: the need is, right, So like the longer that justin

531
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: Houston is on the market and just a possibility, the

532
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: better for the Baltimore I think. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

533
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: I think the caveat there, I would say, is your

534
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: scenario in which someone sweeps him off his feet and

535
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: he gets a huge offer if he may be saying,

536
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: you know, I'll take my time with this, and then

537
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: all a sudden the phone rings and it's big money

538
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: and he says, Okay, you know what, I don't need

539
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: to wait anymore. Oh, yes, certainly. Yeah. I mean what

540
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying is Eric's Costa generally, I think has a

541
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: pretty good feel for these kind of things, and it

542
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: seems like his feeling is that will not happen. Yeah. Yeah,

543
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: He's got a great feel for the market, and you

544
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: never know. And that's and as I said earlier, like

545
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: that's part of the conversation. Those are the conversations that

546
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: are taking place out here this week. Right certainly, all right,

547
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: what else are we missing here, Garrett? Well, a couple

548
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: of coaching notes. You know, John Harball has some coaching updates.

549
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: You know. First of all, he talked about t Martin

550
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: moving to the quarterback coach position. Had been with receivers recently.

551
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Really excited about Tea, said he blom away into the interview.

552
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: I mean he was a great college quarterback and so

553
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: they just feel really excited about t Martin being the

554
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach for this team. That was clear, you know.

555
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: And then the Taggert, the other guy that he was talking,

556
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: John was talking about how excited he has said he's

557
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: one of the best coaches football coaches in the country,

558
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: like period, right, and you know, here's the guy who's

559
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: been a long time head coach at several prominent college

560
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: programs in recent you know, over the past a decade

561
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: or so, and uh, you know, to get him in

562
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore as the running backs coach. John John Hardball called

563
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: it a game changer. Said he's a game changing kind

564
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: of guy, just like the the enthusiasm that he brings

565
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: for the job and his knowledge of of offense. And

566
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: talking about another college quarterback you know from back in

567
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: his day playing for John's dad at Western Kentucky. So um,

568
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, just really raved about the addition of Willie

569
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: taggert Um, so that was also interesting. And then there's openings,

570
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: right so the Ravens have three, uh position coach openings

571
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: right now, that's a wide receiver coach, safety's coach, and

572
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: now outside linebackers coach because uh, Rob Leonard, Yes, I

573
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: was almost said Jim Leonard. Rob Rob Leonard has accepted

574
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: a job to be the defensive line coach with the

575
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. So, uh, now there's three openings. You know,

576
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: John did say that Keith Williams uh will stay on

577
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: the staff. He kind of worked with uh. I think

578
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: he was what the word really like route running with

579
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: all positions, you know, focus obviously on the wide receivers,

580
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: but also tight ends running backs even you know, it

581
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: was a lot of route running kind of coaching and

582
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: is an option a possibility for the wide receivers opening

583
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: coach opening, But John Harwall said he's going to open

584
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: that up and and really kind of take his time,

585
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: just like he did at oc Um. So that's that's

586
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: one interesting note there. And then as we said, outside

587
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: linebackers coach and safety's coach need to make hirings there.

588
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: Coach Urban James Urban, who's been the quarterbacks coach in

589
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: the past five years, and Craig Verstig, who last year

590
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: coached the team's running backs and has had a role

591
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: on the offensive staff here for a long time under

592
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: John Harball. Harves said that both those guys could still

593
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: remain with the team in other kind of senior assistant,

594
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, positions, But it remains we've seen that's all

595
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: being shaken out right now with Todd Munkin as he

596
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of puts together his final touches on his staff. Yeah,

597
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: and he's like, I mean, Monk has been on staff

598
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: for you know, a couple of weeks now, and so

599
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: he's he's been working on kind of putting his fingerprints

600
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: on the offense and put some schemes in place. And

601
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the staff component, you know, is a big piece of

602
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: that equation. Yep, for sure. One other note I took

603
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: from John Harball was a question about Kyle Hamilton, which,

604
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: first of all, he confirmed that he's had wrisk surgery

605
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: this offseason, but doesn't expect that to think he'll be

606
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: fine this summer. But the other more interesting note I

607
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: thought of that was a question about kind of where

608
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: they envisioned him playing like, what's his position moving forward?

609
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: Because he did such a good job playing that kind

610
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: of big nickel role right as an oversized nickel last year.

611
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: And you know, do they want him to stay in

612
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: that kind of role as a Swiss army knife but

613
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: primarily in the slot, or move more to a traditional

614
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of safety role. I guess the answer is neither.

615
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: But John Harball said they view him as a safety

616
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: who can play nickel and dime, right, So it's clear,

617
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, the vision here is for Marcus Williams and

618
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's to be the safeties. Obviously. The natural thought

619
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: then is, okay, what happens with Chuck Clark. There's obviously

620
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: been a lot of talk about, you know, the possibility,

621
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: and Chuck even talked about this as the Ravens cleaned

622
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: out their lockers as he cleaned out the lockers his

623
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: locker as the season ended, about you know, is he

624
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: back next year or is he a salary cap hut

625
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: or trade or something like that. You know, John made

626
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: it clear the vision is Kyle Hamilton's safety, not a

627
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: nickel corner. Yeah, but we'll still play a versatile role, yeah, totally.

628
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: And the other just in terms of you know, potential

629
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: salary cap cuts. You know, Klais Campbell announced recently that

630
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: he plans to come back and play this year, and

631
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: so he's on a contract for this year, but it's

632
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: had a big number, and so what does that mean. Well,

633
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: Eric cost was asked about Chalais and he didn't make

634
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: a definitive statement, you know, Klais is going to be

635
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: back where he's not going to be back. He basically

636
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: just said there's tough decisions that you have to make.

637
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: And he compared it, you know, back in twenty nineteen

638
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: where he had some really like iconic popular players that

639
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: ended up leaving that offseason. That was Terrell Suggs and

640
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Eric Weddle and c. J. Mosgan, Zadarius Smith. You know,

641
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: those were key pieces of the defense where either were

642
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: released or left in free agency. And he just kind

643
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: of spoke to having to make tough decisions when it

644
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: comes to a salary cap standpoint ahead of free agency.

645
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: So what does that mean for those guys? We'll see

646
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: or what does that mean for Klais and also Chuck

647
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Um We'll see Again. It all goes back to the

648
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: more of that contract in large part how much salary

649
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: cap space they have to create a course of course.

650
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: Um so, well, you know what it makes me think

651
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: about too with Klais Is. You know, if Klais is

652
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: not back, then who's the d N. I mean they're

653
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens resigned Brent Urban already this offseason, right, So

654
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: that's a veteran d N there, big body guy. But like,

655
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: does that make the possibility of a defensive lineman a

656
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: more likely first round scenario potentially in the draft? Baby?

657
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean I would look as the stands right now,

658
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: I would say, obviously that's behind wide receiver, cornerback. But

659
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if Klais is not back next year,

660
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: the need on the D line elevates. And there ain't

661
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: many people that look like Clais Campbell walk in this earth.

662
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: I'll just say that you can look through the draft

663
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: and just about most teams in the NFL and you're

664
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: not gonna find too many Calais Camels out there. Yes,

665
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: so it'll that'll be interesting how they would fill those shoes, certainly, Yeah, totally.

666
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,920
