Chuck Clark signed a three year contract 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: extension Monday morning, first thing in the morning, top of 37 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: the morn until your Chuck. The ink wasn't even dry 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: in the contract yet when came down here. So and Chuck, 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny. Chunky is like one of the 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: more subdued, quieter guys in the locker room, and those 41 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: teammates all say like he's like funny and like he's 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: not like that all the time. You know, when we 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: see him, he's a pretty chill dude. And so I'll 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: admit the first time we had him on the podcast 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: this season, I didn't really know what to expect because 46 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: he's just not a very emotive guy, right, but he 47 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: was like one of my favorite guests that we had 48 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: all year. I think, yeah, yeah, he's one of my 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: favorite guys on the team. I just think that he 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you can hear it in the way that 51 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: his teammates talk about him and which is one of 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: the smartest guys on the team, um, one of the 53 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: hardest working guys on the team, and just somebody that 54 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: I thought Eric the Costas quote too was pretty strong 55 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: about him, which is that his story is one of patients, 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: perseverance and hard work, and he's just somebody that, you know, 57 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people didn't expect him to 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: have the day like today where he signs a multi 59 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: year contract extension as a starting safety in the NFL. 60 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: So credit goes to him for putting himself in this position. Yeah, 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: but anyway, I really like Chuck and so we're having 62 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: him on all right, here's our interview with Chuck Clark, 63 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: fresh off literally minutes ago signed his three year extension. 64 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: First of all, congrats Chuck.

Did you 188 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: have you taken any time to sort of reflect on 189 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: the last twelve months, Like you move into a starting lineup, 190 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: you have a daughter, you now signed this contract, Like 191 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: has that thought process gone through your mind over the 192 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: past forty during during it? Well, you say about the 193 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: daughter by my daughter during the season. I was wasn't 194 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: kind of something like could slow down about the season, 195 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: like all, are you stepping into a starting role? But 196 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: looking back on the season, like, yeah, you really stepped 197 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: into a starting role, you know, help the defense move 198 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: in the right direction. And then the things that you 199 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: said happened, like, you know, having a door to going 200 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, being a position to get a contract extension. 201 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: So and I say back and look at the things, like, wow, 202 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a crazy shoot. From the 203 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, I say, the start, you know, 204 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean last year at this time, I was probably 205 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: like yeah, you know, I'm the second string, you know, 206 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: but my mind is like I'm want to be a 207 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: starter one day eventually, like I'm always gonna be ready. 208 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: So now I'm hearing this position, it feels amazing. Why 209 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: did you want to sign an extension now is supposed 210 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: to playing it out and maybe testing the market? Uh? 211 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: I feel like at the time, to guarantee money, and uh, 212 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: it was it just felt right, you know, And I 213 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: feel like this is the right situation. And when the 214 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: contract is up or whenever it's time to renegotiate, you know, 215 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I feel like that I'll still be young and you know, 216 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: still got more time, right, right, and does it help 217 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: too that they've also kept other pieces in the secondary. 218 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're definitely saying we want this this unit. 219 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: We like these guys for sure, the guys that we 220 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: got around us and on the offense side of the ball, 221 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: and the defensive society man and the players that I'll 222 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: be playing with, and the potential that we can go 223 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: and the things that we can do as a team 224 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: and go get and reach. When you sign a contract, 225 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: suddenly now you kind of become a bit of a leader, 226 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: a somebody that people look to like you now you 227 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: had the communication. It just changes, though when you sign 228 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: a contract, like not just talking to players on the field, 229 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: but like now that you sign a contract, when people 230 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: look around the locker room, young guys and they kind 231 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: of look at the guys who've been paid, you're in 232 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: that category. Do you think, how do you think that 233 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: will affect you? Um, I ain't gonna let it affect me. 234 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: But I feel like as being a being in a 235 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: leader leadership position, you know, I just taken it around 236 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: with it. You know, however it is, you know, whoever 237 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: is on the offensive side the ball leading, whoever it 238 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: is on the defensive side, I mean it's not just 239 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: one leader on either side of the ball, so I 240 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: mean just taking it around with it however it comes. 241 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: But I mean as the season went, I could see 242 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: how the things were going and how they were moving. 243 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: Just being put in the position and have the MIC, 244 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: I mean that alone just kind of put me in 245 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: that position almost. It was like as if I had 246 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: to communicate with everybody as opposed to before when I 247 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: didn't have it. It wasn't one of those things that 248 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: I had to force that communication, but eventually I did, 249 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: and you know, I had to talk to more guys, 250 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, just just in different ways reached out and 251 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: talking to and learning and learning about those guys, you know, 252 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: is part of the reason that you wanted to sign 253 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: the suxtension because you feel like you guys have unfinished 254 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: business here. Oh yeah, definitely for sure, Like we we 255 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: definitely got something to go get, you know, to go 256 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: and and you know, the season ends, and it was 257 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: so sudden, I think for everybody. You know, I'm sure 258 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: you and everybody felt like this was gonna go on 259 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: for a few more weeks. When the season ends and 260 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: you have some time to kind of sort all that 261 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: out and then you talk through this extension process, are 262 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: you starting to think already about like what this team 263 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: could look like in two thousand and twenty and what 264 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: you guys could accomplish. Definitely, for sure. I mean that's 265 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: what you're thinking about the next day after we took 266 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: them and played that game. You know, like, all right, 267 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: what we got coming back? We're possibly losing, but just 268 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the pieces, like I said earlier, the pieces that we're 269 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: gonna have here and the structure of this team, and 270 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: we got some guys that want to go get it, 271 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: and we've we got a chip on our shoulder. We 272 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: left one out there. Well, we'll let you get going here. 273 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: I do have one question about you personally after that 274 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: loss the day after, I remember talking to you in 275 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: the locker room. You said, this season for me set 276 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: the bar of where my career is going to go 277 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: from here. Where do you see yourself improving and what's 278 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: the next step for you as an individual player? Man? 279 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: For me, I just want to create more turnovers this 280 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: this season. I had one couple for fumbles, but just 281 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: creating more turnovers, you know, eventually trying to get to 282 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: the pro bo all pro. But the main goal at 283 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: the end of the day is trying to get a 284 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Yeah, because you have a note for the football. 285 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's always one thing I've talked about with you, 286 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: Like even when you were a back up and practice, 287 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: you're always getting picks, like preseason getting picks. I feel 288 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: like those are coming for you. Yeah, definitely who got 289 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: running up exactly gradulations, Chuck. We're so happy for you. 290 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: All right, well good stuff. You know, like you said 291 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: at the outset here, I think back a year ago 292 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: to where Chuck Clark was a year ago from today. 293 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean he was a backup special teams guy. Yeah. Yeah, 294 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: Now he had flashed at times, like remember he got 295 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: the start when Tony Jefferson was hurt. He got to 296 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: start against City and got a pick in that game, 297 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: picked off Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, so like you at least 298 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: saw and and oh there's always flashes. But I mean 299 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: he was behind other guys. I mean this time a 300 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: year ago, I think Eric Weddle was still on the TV. 301 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: Then you know they Ravens release Eric Weddle. You're like, 302 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: all right, well, maybe Chuck will get his time. Well, 303 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: then they signed Earl Thomas Yea and Tony Jefferson is 304 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: still here, and he even I mean he talked about 305 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: that in the interview. I mean he said, like, if 306 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: you were to ask him a year ago, he probably 307 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: if he was being realistic. As much as he wanted 308 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: to have the attitude of like, I'm a starter, I'm 309 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: gonna go into this season as a starter, he was 310 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: realistic about the situation, which was that he was behind 311 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson and Earl Thomas on the depth chart. Yeah, ectly, 312 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: So good for Chuck. He earned it. Um a lot 313 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: of outpouring of support and happiness from his teammates on 314 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: Twitter seeing the news, So I'm really happy for him. 315 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: And I thought it was really interesting him talking about 316 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: the motivation that he got from his coach. Uh, when 317 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: he first came in as a rookie sixth round pick, 318 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: you said, well, you know, you might not even a team, 319 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: and Uh, It's just funny, man, how how people are 320 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: motivated in different ways That even I can remember being 321 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: motivated by sports editors who told me I wasn't gonna 322 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: get anywhere. I've covered cross country for the first two 323 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: years of my college paper across country. The first years, 324 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: they didn't bump me up. I didn't get any glorious position. 325 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: I said, you know, I remember I remember petting pretty 326 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: upset about this when they told me the second years 327 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: of software, you're coming a cross country again. And I 328 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: just told him, I said, you're gonna regret this. This 329 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: is the wrong city. I said that. I said, you're 330 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: gonna regret this. I'm gonna prove you wrong. I'll tell 331 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: you what, University of Maryland cross country team got more 332 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: average then that's ever gotten that blowout features blowout features. Well, 333 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: I guess were they wrong then in designing you to 334 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: the cross country beat, you will see that increase the 335 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: profile thin well exactly, Well, I mean sure, but I 336 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: could have done the same for men's basketball. But um no, 337 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: no shade on cross country. You all agree, um but 338 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: uh but anyway, it's funny about it, and it made 339 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: me think about this here in Chuck is Hey, that's 340 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: good coaching, right, you know, I mean it stung Chuck 341 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: at the time. But did it bring out the best 342 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: in them? And that what's your job as coach? Yeah, 343 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: bring out the best in your people. So I guess, 344 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, thank you to my editor you were doing 345 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: a great job. And asked did it bring out the 346 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: best of you, it sounds like it did screw that 347 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: guy still, Yeah, um no, Look, I think that from 348 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: a football standpoint, this is a move that really does 349 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. Like Chuck played really well 350 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: over the and I think he's one of those guys 351 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: that what a lot of what he does kind of 352 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: flies under the radar because he's so important to everything 353 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: that's taking place in the field. We talked about the 354 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: green dot and and that is a really important piece. 355 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: But he's just somebody who is always in the right 356 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: place at the right time, and that is it's not 357 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: something you should say for granted on the defense, especially 358 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: on a defense like this where there's so many different 359 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: moving pieces, and when you have, like when you have 360 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: really good cover corners like the Ravens had this past 361 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: year with Marlon and Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith, those 362 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: are the guys that are going to be in position 363 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: to go kind of make the plays. Where Chuck is 364 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: a glue guy like he in a lot of ways 365 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: holes everything together and that allows some of those guys 366 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: to go out there and have the kinds of seasons 367 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: that they did. And I think Chuck's gonna make more 368 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: plays because this guy's got news for the football. Like 369 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I really think he has a very 370 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: good news. He's just kind of he's got a little playmaking. 371 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,479 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna be at Reid back there, 372 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, Earl Thomas when he's been over his career, 373 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: but Chuck makes him plays and he will. Uh So 374 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: to me, it shows a lot about what the Ravens 375 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: are thinking a in they want to lock up these 376 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: guys before they hit free agency. You know that didn't 377 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: happen with you, don but I expect the Ravens have 378 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: resigned what nine guys I think it is uh to 379 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: contract extensions. I mean, we'll see what happens with jud On, 380 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: but it's that that hasn't well, I'm just saying they 381 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: didn't get Jude On in like the year before, Yeah, 382 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: a year before. Yeah, they so they still could sign 383 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: into an extension before you hit the market, but like 384 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: they didn't get ahead of it the year before. Yeah. 385 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: I expect they probably will do the same with Ronnie 386 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: Stanley this offseason. And if I were a betting man, yeah, 387 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: and they could with Marlin Humphrey as well. They could 388 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: this year, but they have another year on that. Yeah, 389 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: but I'm saying they have they have a two year option, 390 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: or they have this year, this offseason or next offseason 391 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: to get a deal done before he ever hits free agency. Yeah. Yeah, 392 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: I would probably expect them to do Ronnie this offseason 393 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: because he's getting he's entering his fifth year. He's in 394 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: your head, and then he's your head, and then Marlon 395 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: and then we're talking about Lamar and that's gonna kind 396 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: of be the the progression I think here um so 397 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: and and there's a bunch of It's not just the 398 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: big guys, there's big three. Uh, it's key role players. 399 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: Like we saw with ricar It already he was in 400 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: the same class and now re Card was undrafted, but 401 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: this came out into the league the same year. That 402 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: chucked it. Um So. Each year, I think they're identifying 403 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: who are the young guys. Let's lock them up before 404 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: they go into that final year so we don't have 405 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: to keep losing guys. And it's honestly not just young 406 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: guys they I mean l J. Fort is a veteran 407 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker before he hit that market, before he went 408 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: into his final seasoned. Yeah, like there's a bunch of guys, 409 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: they've done this, and that is clear. When Eric's constans 410 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: took over, he made it clear that was going to 411 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: be part of his operating procedures, trying to get these 412 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: types of deals done. And he's to do that. And 413 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: and it's when you have a really, really good team 414 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: that goes fourteen and two in the regular season, it's like, yeah, 415 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: well we'll keep We'll keep a lot of those pieces around. 416 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: Uh And I think number two, what it shows is 417 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens are not shy about investing in their secondary 418 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: and um and that I really like that. That's the 419 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: way the league is headed. You have to be able 420 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: to stop Patrick Mahomes and that attack. The Ravens are 421 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: gott to beat the Chiefs a number of times over 422 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: the you know, next several years or longer, um and 423 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to have a strong secondary to 424 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: do that. Well, I mean, just think about it's not 425 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: just this year for the secondary. These guys are all 426 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: signed for multiple years. Earl Thomas, Chuck Clark, Marcus Peters, 427 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: Marlon Huffrey, Tavon Young. Now we'll see what happens with 428 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith. Maybe the Ravens re signed Jimmy Smith, and 429 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: he's right there in that mix. So this secondary is 430 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: in place like you don't even have to touch it. 431 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: And that doesn't even include some of the young guys 432 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: who the Ravens still feel like have potential am On Marshall, 433 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: Deshaan Elliott like some guys that you feel like have potential, 434 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: Anthony Avory, like those guys who are all still signed 435 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: for at least two more years. Also, so you gotta 436 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: feel really good about the secondary. I don't think I 437 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: don't think the Ravens are gonna take a first round 438 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: corner corner of this year. I don't think so. I 439 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: don't cross it off for a box. I don't have 440 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: to tweak I don't have to tweak that anyway. Thanks 441 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: for listen. Whoa, whoa Oho, that's right. Wehoa we forgot No, no, no, 442 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: he didn't forget. You forgot. We want to Last week 443 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: we put a call out there to the listeners to 444 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: rate and review the podcast, and we've got some good 445 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: ratings that have poured in over the past few days. 446 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: Um again, you can do this on iTunes.

So we're gonna read a couple of them. 449 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: Here's one Day One listener, first time reviewer.

It's amazing getting to know the 455 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: players off the field, and you can tell the guys 456 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: that built rapports with some of them.
