1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Eric Well loves football. I mean, I think he wants 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: to spend time with his family after so many years away. 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: But at some point he'll get the itch. I think 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: to be around football on a regular basis, And if 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm the Ravens, I would want a guy like that 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: with me than being a guy who's working for somebody else. 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: Watching the Super Bowl, you see Matthew Stafford's like ankle 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: get bent a different way. You see Joe Burrow go 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: to the ground like the Ravens skeptic. In me, I'm like, oh, 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: he does back on the field next play. How do 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: these guys do? Fortunately, I do think there'll be a 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: corner here playing a prominent role next year who's not 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: on the team right now. In one form or another, 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: there will be I think, Oh, I love when you 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: give this your hot takes the predictions.

Glad to have 23 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: you here, buddy, Thank you. H So, we're gonna talk 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: about our super Bowl takeaways, um and some interesting news 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: that came out of Super Bowl with CLAYSS Campbell and 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: then answer some of your questions. Uh so, let's start 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: with the Rams win over the Bengals. Cliff just kind of, hey, 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: were you rooting for the Rams? Were rooting for the 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: Bengals like Garrett was Joe Burrow stand We found out 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: on the last episode. Were you pulling? Like? Which way? 31 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: You know when you're watching kind of which way did 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: you find yourself being pulled? You know? I was kind 33 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: of pulling for the Bengals because I'm a sucker for underdogs. 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: I like underdogs. I like uh I'm a Philly man, 35 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: I like underdogs. You know what I'm saying. I got you. 36 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: I gotta reference right, So I was. I felt like 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: it was a great story for them. Now, it's not 38 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: like the Rams have been on top for a long time, 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: but I did feel they were the better team and 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: it was more improbable story for the Bengals to win. 41 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: But what I really wanted was a heck of a game, 42 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: and that's what I got. By the late in the 43 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: third quarter, I was very satisfied that, Okay, I don't 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: know who's gonna win, it's gonna be decided. This is 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: two great teams going there. That's what I love to see. Yeah, yeah, 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: for sure, I found myself room for the Rams, for sure. 47 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: I just didn't want to see the Bengals get the glory. 48 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: You know, some teams deserve to stay down, you know 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: what I mean. Cleveland, they can stay without a Super Bowl. 50 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: You know my opinion, my humble opinion. Cincinnati there is 51 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: still in that same category for me. Only two teams 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: they have North that's one one, cliff Us and the Steelers. 53 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: We gotta catch. We got a little ground to make up. 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: On the Steelers. I'll say that we're gonna do it. 55 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: There we go, There we go. But there's some there's 56 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: some interesting takeaways, uh for me, and in one being 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: you know it's really wild is how close? And I 58 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: know Ravens fans are tired of hearing the how close 59 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: you know point being made. We all know how close 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: we were the last six losses of the season. But like, 61 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: isn't it kind of wild that the Ravens almost beat 62 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: the Rams? Should have beat the Rams, like when they 63 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: had eight team players on injured reserve seconds last game 64 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: of the season. I mean, we should have won that game. 65 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: We had no business winning the game and they were 66 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: the eventual Super Bowl champions. Should have beat the Super 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: Bowl champions. With one arm and two legs tied behind 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: our back, We're just given with one left hand. We 69 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: were throwing punches, that's all we had, and we was 70 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: beating him, right. I mean, obviously, who was picking the 71 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Bengals Rams Super Bowl in September? Even when the playoffs began, 72 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: who was picking up Bengals Rams Super Bowl. It's very, 73 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: very hard to win one, and it just reinforces the 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: notion that if you keep knocking on the door or 75 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: you can break through. So the Ravens, with all the 76 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: injuries that they had this year, barely missed the playoffs. 77 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: I honestly don't think that the team the way it 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: would have gone into the playoffs would have really had 79 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: a great shot to make a run. No, I don't 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: think what any season that you could get into playoffs 81 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: could be your year and the consistency of the Ravens 82 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: have as an organization and having the talent they have 83 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: on this team and the town they're going to acquire 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: during this off season. I think, you know their window 85 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm reading about, you know, is their window close? How 86 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: big is it? I think the windows wide open for 87 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens here in the next four or five years 88 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: to do special things when but you can say that 89 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: about ten or twelve organizations. Yeah. Well, the interesting thing 90 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: was obviously the Rams went all in, right. I mean, 91 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: they don't have a first round draft pick till that's 92 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: the exaggeration, But like they did they all in strategy. 93 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: They traded for Matthew Stafford, they traded mid season for 94 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: von Miller, you know, they picked up Odell Beckham. And 95 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: on one hand, like I looked at it, and obviously 96 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: it paid off, right, they won right on? On part 97 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: of me also was like when O'Dell went down in 98 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: the first quarter or whatever it was with his knee 99 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: injury and then they were throwing to these dudes who 100 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: like nobody had ever even heard of before. I was like, 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: how much depth do the Rams have? Because like you're 102 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl right now. A guy you you 103 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: just picked up like who got cut? He was that 104 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: big a part of your team? Like like I don't know, 105 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: I just wonder, like the Rams had the Stars, and 106 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: the Stars ended up winning it for them. Aaron Donald 107 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: made the play, Cooper Cup made the play, but like 108 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: this all in strategy of there's almost didn't pay off 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: because they almost lost when one player, Odell Beckham went 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: down with an injury in the Super Bowl. You know 111 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like if you sell out to get 112 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: a player and then they go down, and if you 113 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: don't have the depth behind him, like that's what the 114 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 1: Ravens model is, right, is always have that death, always 115 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: have the next guy there, right, because you're not just 116 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: like going all in to get the stars. I don't 117 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: know it paid off. They won the game, but they 118 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: almost didn't. You know what I mean. You see where 119 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm going with this. I mean, sure, the my feeling 120 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: is if you win it, whatever you did was worth it. 121 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: So right now, Aaron Donald, Now, Aaron donalds the player 122 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: they drafted that wasn't somebody that like the guy that 123 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: they drafted ended up winning it in the end. Cooper 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: Cup was the NVV they drafted Cooper Cup, right, now 125 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: von Miller and Odell, like would they have gotten there 126 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: without them? Of course, Stafford, that was the biggest The 127 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: quarterback is the bag. You sell whatever you have to 128 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: to get the quarterback. But I'm just saying, like selling 129 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: out to get those other guys and then Odell goes 130 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: down and you really didn't have much left. No, but 131 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: again they did it. And the key is to be 132 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: good enough so that when you do make the big move, 133 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: it puts you over the top or gives you a 134 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: chance over the top. And they certainly were right. If 135 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: you add the East does to a team has won 136 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: two games, they just get better, but they still don't 137 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: want a gym. So organization like the Ravens have been 138 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: so good at always draft, you know, drafting and acquiring 139 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: talent so that they're in the mix. And the Rams 140 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: were good enough that they truly were a piece or 141 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: two away and they decided to push all their chips in, 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: but they already had a good hand to start with. Well. 143 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: The funny but the interesting thing too is like this 144 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: isn't the first time that they've done that and it 145 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: hasn't paid off in previous years. I mean when Jalen 146 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: Ramsey like they didn't win the Super Bowl last year, 147 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: get to it, you know, and they like gave up 148 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: a lot to get Jalen Ramsey and ended up being 149 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: in such a cap in hell that we got you know, 150 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters for nothing basically because they had to shed 151 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: salary cap space. Right, So it's I mean, ultimately it 152 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: paid off for him. But uh me, like one of 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: my takeaways even though they wanted all is you know what, 154 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: I like the Ravens strategy and and really you kind 155 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: of want to make sure of both. And that's what 156 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Eric Costa has shown. Right. It's like, is he gonna 157 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: trade two first round picks? No, No, he is not 158 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: doing it. I don't think he's training one first round pick. 159 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: I think you'd have to ask him for one of 160 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: his children for a second round pick, like, I mean, 161 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: like it would be it would be a lot to ask. 162 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: But let's not forget the fact that Eric to Costa 163 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: has made some big moves before the trade deadline in 164 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: recent years. I mean, like I said, getting Marcus Peters 165 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: back in was a big move. Didn't cost the Ravens 166 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: a lot. That's a big edition. Getting Uneat and Gockway, 167 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: it was a big edition, the Ravens give up but 168 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: a third round pick. I mean, that's a lot for Ravens. 169 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: For the Ravens to give up a third round pick, 170 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: and that could have been a big move. It didn't 171 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: end up panning out, but it's not for lack of 172 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: taking a swing at it. Yeah, Eric will tell you 173 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: himself he loves a trade and he's aggressive exactly, but 174 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: he also is going to make sure he doesn't mortgages 175 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: the entire future exactly to uh, you know, make up 176 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: make a splashy move. So what you said is true. 177 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens they are a mix. But the 178 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: key to me is always the draft. Every year bringing 179 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: in more and more town. There's always gonna be injuries, 180 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: as we saw so much this year, and it's always 181 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: gonna be players getting older. So if you keep bringing 182 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: in town the way the NFL is set up, where 183 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: everything is kind of geared towards parody, you have to 184 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: keep bringing in. What separates them and able to win 185 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: year after year is the teams a draft Well, to me, 186 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: are the teams that over the law DETA wants, that 187 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: always have a shot to do something exactly. I think 188 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: that that's to me is like, you just have to 189 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: keep putting yourself like you said before in the dance, 190 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: and the Ravens are one of those teams. Are they 191 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: gonna be? Are they the best team entering next year? 192 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. You have to be one of the 193 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: best five to seven, right, which guess how many teams 194 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: make the playoffs? You know what I mean? So like, 195 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: you have to be one of those top seven teams, 196 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: and anybody that gets in there I think has a chance. 197 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: And that's what the Ravens year after year after year 198 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: after year after year put themselves in the position to 199 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: be one of the top contenders, and I expect that 200 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: they will do so again. I think the question and 201 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people are asking now are talking about 202 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: is okay since he didn't win at all, But they'll 203 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: be back. Look at Joe Burrow, look at all the 204 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: young talent they have. You know they'll be back. Don't 205 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: count your chickens. I thought after I thought after Raids 206 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,479 Speaker 1: will be right back in the n f C Championship 207 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: next year. Didn't happen, And I'm not taking the Bengals 208 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of talent and I think Joe Burrow 209 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: is very good. I'm on the record, So could they absolutely. 210 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: I think they're legit. I think they're gonna be one 211 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: of those contenders that I'm talking about, like one of 212 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: those top seven teams. But it's not a guarantee, like 213 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, Dan Marino, like you wrote about no guarantees. 214 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: We just went through almost two decades were going against 215 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and you know, Steelers one what two in 216 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: his career, which is good. But just because the Bengals 217 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: are young in town, that does not guarantee that they're 218 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: ever going to win the Super Bowl. And it's never 219 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: easy to win one. I mean, yes, the Bengals are good, 220 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: the Bills are good, the Chiefs are good. They're probably 221 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: not yet, they're not going away. There's always gonna be 222 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: somebody or some bodies you have to run through. If 223 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to run through them, you don't just 224 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: erb to get one. So no, I'm not screwed of 225 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: the Bengals. I'm impressed and feel that they're gonna be 226 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: a good team for the next four or five years. 227 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the Ravens can't win a Super Bowl 228 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: or two during that time period. Well, and the interesting 229 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: thing is you look at you know, people. Well, the 230 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: Ravens got smacked up by the Bengals twice this year, 231 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: which they did absolutely you know what happened last year, though, 232 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: Ravens smacked the Bengals up twice by a more lopsided 233 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: score than this year, and the Bengals flipped that pretty fast. 234 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: So what's to say the Ravens can't flip it again? 235 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: They can. I mean, NFL things don't carry over from 236 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: year to year in a big way. And I just 237 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: think that with the the parody the amount of players involved, 238 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: eleven guys on each side for the three It's not 239 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: like the NBA, where if you get like two studs 240 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: then you're pretty much gonna be a good team for 241 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: the next eight or nine years. NFL doesn't work like that. Again, 242 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: who thought the Bengals. People were laughing when the Bengals 243 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: were telling you this year they thought they could make 244 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs September. You guys went for four games and 245 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: then they're in the Super Bowl, right, so it can 246 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: it does not carry him Next year they could be good, 247 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: but they could be a team that doesn't make the playoffs. 248 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: You just don't know so well. And they had a 249 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: freakishly good health streak they did like they had. Really, 250 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: it's no surprise the two of the healthiest teams in 251 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: the league ended up playing in the Super Bowl. Health 252 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: is a huge factor. All those stars you name for 253 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: the Rams, they were all playing in that game. And 254 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: even Beckam went out in the second quarter. But Jalen 255 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: Ramsey played this season, Aaron Donald played, as Matthew Stafford played, 256 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Every week, I'm seeing them on the field 257 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: while I'm writing about the latest Ravens injury. I'm looking 258 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: up to the screen watching these guys score in touchdown. 259 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: So hopefully next year, the Ravens, all the guys that 260 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: were you know, we'd be here all all day and 261 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: listen to our injuries. Hopefully most of those guys are 262 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: gonna play all of next year. Watching the Super Bowl, 263 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: you see Matthew Stafford's like ankle get bent a different way. 264 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: You see Joe Burrow go to the ground like screaming, 265 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: bloody murder, you know, holding his knee, And I'm like 266 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: the Ravens, you know, skeptic in me. I'm like, oh 267 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: he done, Oh He's done. Back on the field, next play. 268 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: How these fortunately, where I can't he be gumby it's luck, man, 269 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's luck. I mean, I don't like, 270 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: did anybody go down? I say, I want to, but 271 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: it was just like I was just like the Ravens, 272 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, fan of me. I was like, oh, he's injured, 273 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: he's out for four weeks, you know what I mean. 274 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: I was telling I've told several people this year. I 275 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: don't ever remember all the sports I've covered for as 276 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: long as I've been doing, I never remember after practice 277 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: two players being out for the year until this year 278 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: when Peters and Gus went down in the same practice. 279 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: I've never heard of that, but not for the year. 280 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: I've heard two guys getting hurt in the same practice, 281 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: but two guys out for the year in the same practice, Well, 282 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you do that? But that was 283 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: that was to me, that was an omen and unfortunately, 284 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll admit I was saying back in September, 285 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, I just have I just don't feel that 286 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: this is the Ravens year. I just didn't feel it 287 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: that just some years, no matter what you do, you're 288 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: not winning a championship. Right. I just felt that this 289 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: was one of those used for the Ravens. Right, But 290 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: one guy who did win a championship, who were both 291 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure very happy for his Eric Weddley came out 292 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: of retirement to win one. That was I think, really 293 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: why I was pulling for the Rams the hardest. And 294 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: I will say, I don't know if he's getting enough. 295 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of credit for like just playing 296 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: the entire game because you apparently tore his pack or whatever, 297 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: and like the first second quarter, I saw a picture 298 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: of pretty nearly yah uh and still finished the game. 299 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: But I think also on the last play of the 300 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: game where Aaron Donald took down Joe Burrow, Weddle deserve 301 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: some credit in that. When I watched that back slow 302 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: Burrow looks to his left and I think he wanted 303 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: a quick slant on that fourth and weds we was 304 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: moving and he kind of then started. That's when he 305 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: started rolling to his right, and he was just too late. 306 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Donald was gonna get him. So yeah, everyone ever talks 307 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: about how smart he is, how he can see things 308 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: before they happen. I mean all over the field. He's 309 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: he's got eyes in the back of his head. He 310 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: studies so much film. But it is an incredible story. 311 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not anyone can understand that. That's a 312 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: difficult thing to do to come off, you know, not 313 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: not at your cows. Because again I think, as I've 314 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: beating Tony Jeffer and saying, anybody and knows Eric Weddell, 315 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: he's he was never on the couch. He wasn't playing, 316 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: but he was on the couch, but still exactly and 317 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: watching film and watching that the game. But that's an 318 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: incredible thing to do. I mean, you're gonna come back 319 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: for the playoffs, for the for the biggest games of 320 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: the year. I'm gonna step in as a starter and 321 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: help the team win a Super Bowl and calling the plays. Yes, 322 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. Congratulations, Yeah, very cool. The other interesting 323 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: wrinkle out of that comes from Jeff three back our Guy. 324 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: Jeff reported that, uh that Eric Weddle was on a 325 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: kind of a special assignment doing special assignment work for 326 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens and Eric to Costa for several years, and 327 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: that there was talk before training camp this past year 328 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: that he could have an expanded in person role with 329 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: the team and kind of a coaching and personnel role, 330 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: which is fascinating. I did not know anything about that, um, 331 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: but he you know, Jeff was kind of wondering could 332 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Eric return potentially in some kind of front office coaching 333 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: whatever role would be interesting. I could definitely see that happening. 334 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean, why wouldn't you want Eric Weddle as someone 335 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: in your organization who you could bounce ideas off of, 336 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: who we could bring ideas to you. He's got the 337 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: player's perspective too, as well as being a guy from 338 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: both knowing what makes players tick, knowing the game so well. 339 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: I just think that yeah, he'd be he would be 340 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: an asset to any organization. He's he's so to me, 341 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: thinks outside the box, even even have the gumption to 342 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: do what he did and then being able to pull 343 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: it off. And Sean McVeigh doesn't make that call to 344 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: any player there's there are other great players who you 345 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: know a year or two way from the game, you 346 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't make that call because you just wouldn't think that 347 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: they would be connected to the game anymore the way 348 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: Eric Weddle is. But Eric wellll loves football. I mean, 349 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: I think he wants to spend time with his family 350 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: after so many years away, but at some point he'll 351 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: get the itch I think to be around football on 352 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: a regular basis, and if I'm the Ravens, I would 353 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: want a guy like that with me than being a 354 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: guy who's working for somebody else right right, totally might 355 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: have to guarantee California weather for that to happen. He's 356 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: a West Coast guy. That's the only thing I'm like, 357 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: Would he give up the West Coast weather for a 358 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: full time position here? I think I think the form 359 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: four letter whereppens now would be zoom zoom. Maybe. The 360 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: other big news out of the Big Game was Klais 361 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: Campbell with Sky Sports and he said that he is 362 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: not going to retire this offseason, which I was predicting. 363 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: I told Garrett that that's kind of what I read 364 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: from Erica Costa's comments and his season ending press conference 365 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: that Calais he said he was gonna have some more 366 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: conversations with Klais Campbell and talked about how great he 367 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: think thinks he still is as a player and what 368 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: he offers in terms of being a mentor to the 369 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: younger players and all that stuff. Klais made it official 370 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: seeing uh Eric Weddle in the Rams celebrate out there 371 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: in l A. He's like, man that thrill to see 372 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: the absolute joy on the faces. He wants to chase 373 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: another ring. So the question now is is he gonna 374 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: chase that ring with the Ravens. He is appending on 375 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: restricted free agent? What do you think? What's what's your 376 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: gut tell you on class and his future. My gut 377 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: tells me he'll be back because I know he loved 378 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: playing here, loved it, and I know he thinks that 379 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: this team healthy has a legitimate shot. So unless he 380 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: can go somewhere else has there's no way he's playing 381 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: for a team that he doesn't think has a chance 382 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: with sup Boys, So that already narrows it down right. 383 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: And and at this stage too, if he were just 384 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: going somewhere chasing the ring but wasn't sure how much 385 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: he would really like playing, They're coming to work every day, 386 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: dealing with the coaching staff, the teammates. All those questions 387 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: are answered here in a positive way. He could, he 388 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: could go somewhere else to a good team, but not really. 389 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: You know, some of the guys he's playing with, he 390 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're working on off the coach. You 391 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: know that, not really listening it now, you don't want 392 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: to deal with any of that exactly, And I know 393 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens or no, I really feel strongly they want 394 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: him back. So when when a player wants to come 395 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: back and the team wants him back, it usually happened exactly. 396 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. I mean, is there another team 397 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: that maybe has a better shot next year than the Ravens. 398 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe, like, but how much better? Like? 399 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he looks at it, and I 400 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: think the Ravens certainly fall in the category of they're 401 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a Super Bowl contender next year. Like you'd 402 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: be splitting hairs if you said, well, I think I 403 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: have a better shot with whatever the Chiefs or the 404 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: Bills or whoever, neither of which those teams waded to 405 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: this youer Bowl, so you know, so like it's anybody's guests, 406 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: And I completely agree with you. Just getting accustomed to 407 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 1: another culture, another city, all that stuff is more hassle 408 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: than whatever you would be gained by splitting hairs and saying, oh, 409 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: I think this team has a slightly better chance plus 410 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: of just what he's invested here, Like he's already invested 411 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: in these guys here and winning a championship and the 412 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: players around him. Yeah he did. I would be and 413 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: and some people are also saying, well, Eric Cossa City 414 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: wants to get younger on the defensive line, that doesn't 415 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: mean that we're gonna have three new starters next year. 416 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: Like you can get younger and also get one more 417 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: year out of Clais Campbell or whatever, or maybe it's 418 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: a two year country. I don't know, right, but I 419 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: think Calais will help kind of bridge that make that transition, right, 420 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: Like you draft a defensive lineman, even if or a 421 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: first rounder. I want Clariss Campbell mentoring that guy. Yes, 422 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: as a senior in this room, let me stick up 423 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: for Klais. Younger is not always better. WHOA, that's right? 424 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: So yeah again, as you mentioned, man, why wouldn't you 425 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: want a guy like that around? In so many ways? 426 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: And I think it's very important that people recognized it's 427 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: not like he's just out there taking up space. He's 428 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: still east Ald a really good player, and on a 429 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: team like this where he doesn't have to play seventy 430 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: seventy snaps a game under normal season where everybody else 431 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: is an hurt, he could he could have a better 432 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: year next year. Well yeah, and I'm interested to see 433 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 1: what Mike McDonald will do with his role. Uh, you know, 434 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: and if the Ravens get another playmaker and on the 435 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: defensive line, that freeze class up a little bit more, 436 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: that would be that would be great. And if we're 437 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: talking about run defense, you know, Brandon Williams is a 438 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: pending unrestricted free agent. If Brandon were to move on 439 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: to another team, who knows what's going to happen there. 440 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: I would feel good about having Class Campbell back as 441 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: a as a premier run stopper. If you're gonna lose 442 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: a guy like Brandon Williams, Derek Wolf's coming off starts 443 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 1: with you too, exactly.

All right, let's 452 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: jump into a few emails. Here we have four. You 453 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: all have been active in emailing the Lounge. We appreciate it. 454 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: As always. You can reach us at the Lounge at 455 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: Ravens dot NFL dot net. First one comes from Gary Kluger, 456 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: and he said, all year we've been hearing about how 457 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: good Joe Burrow is, But now that he was beaten 458 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and sacked sixteen times in two games, 459 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: what when do we get to talk about how quote 460 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: the other NFL teams have figured Joe Burrow out right? 461 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: What he's saying is basically everybody says it's about Lamar, right, 462 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: Lamar losing the playoffs. It's, well, Lamar, we got figured out. 463 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: Why aren't people saying the same thing about Joe Burrow? 464 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: Is essentially the question right right? Well, you know, I'll 465 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: answer it this way. I definitely feel Lamar is judged 466 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: pretty harshly for a guy who's accomplished as much as 467 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: he has, as quickly as he has. So if he 468 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: had the point he's trying to make is yeah, and 469 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: it kind of a sarcastic way. Yeah, why are they 470 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: taking the shot to Joe that are taking Lamar to me? 471 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: That's some of Lamar's just gonna have to deal with 472 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: during his career, particularly until he wins a Super Bowl. 473 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: I think he handles the criticism extremely well. Um and 474 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: he's motivized evaded by it in some ways, which I 475 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: think is good, and I think he does a pretty 476 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: good job of tuning it out. But I honestly feel that, Yes, 477 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: I mean, during Lamar's career, particularly until he wins the 478 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, He's gonna get some criticism that to me 479 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: is over the top. But I mean that's what you 480 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: kind of sign up for. I mean, he can handle it, right. 481 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: I think part of it too is, you know, Lamar 482 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: plays a very unique style of game that everybody's always 483 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: gonna question. Can that You know, anytime you're different, you 484 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: get judged differently, and there's gonna be critics out there 485 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: who say, I don't like different, difference bad. I like 486 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: how I happen to like different. I like that Lamar 487 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: plays a different style of game that gives the Ravens 488 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: an advantage in many regards. Um. So, you know, until 489 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: he wins with that different style of play, I think 490 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: people are going to question that wins wins it all 491 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: exactly and uh yeah, but it'll be interesting. Next question 492 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: comes from Patrick Coon. The question is, uh, maybe it 493 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: is or maybe it isn't a bold prediction, but I'm 494 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: calling an international game for the Ravens this coming season. 495 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: M M, I'm down, Cliff. If we're drawing straws or 496 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: who gets to go on the internet. Look, I'll pull 497 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: for us both. Okay, I already know what you give 498 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: me that. You know, the soft shoe, you know, the 499 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: sympathy thing you're looking for your past home. Okay, man, 500 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: it's okay. So he says Baltimore doesn't play Western Mississippi 501 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: in the regular season, so from a travel standpoint, they 502 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: probably have about the least number of miles to travel 503 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: for away games, prime for schedulers to target an international assignment. Said, 504 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: there's five international games, one in Mexico to I think 505 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: in England, right, is that right? Or too at Tottenham, 506 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: and then one at Wembley Stadium. Then we got a 507 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: game in Germany. That's the one I heard, the new 508 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: one in Germany Germany. Thought i'd have read that. I'm 509 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: signing it up for that. You can see halfbrow house, 510 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: big old Stein. I'll send you a picture, buddy, I 511 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: know you will, and I'll laugh. You'll you'll be having 512 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: a good time. I'm so. I have no doubt I'll 513 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: be wearing my leader housing, We'll be ready to rock. 514 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: Uh so what do you think you you're gonna You're 515 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: gonna stamp that. Also, you kind of feeling an international 516 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: assignment for the Ravens. Yeah, not as strongly probably as him. 517 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: He's put a lot of thought into that, but yes, 518 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: he kind of mapped it out. I do say this though. Yeah, 519 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: Lamar's box office. I mean, they like putting Lamar on 520 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: the big stage for good reason. So I think the 521 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: Ravens are always going to be in the mix for 522 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, whether it be prime time international, and with 523 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: the league trending that way, all teams, particularly the better teams, 524 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna have some of these games. Well, 525 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: and we play the Jags this year. It's who often 526 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: play in London as moren that was a fun trip 527 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: except for the game. Everything was fun right until the game. Um, 528 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, I think that. Uh, I'm kind of feeling 529 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: it too. I'm kind of feeling it. Yeah. I think 530 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: Patrick's on is something here. I like it. I appreciate it, buddy. 531 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: All right. Next email, This one comes from Scott Phillips. 532 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: He says, Uh, first of all, he wants Garrett and 533 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: I had to do a bet this year on who 534 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: gets more draft guess is correct? Uh, you might have 535 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: the wager a couple of Chicken Bucks on that. That's 536 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: what Garrett and I call it, because you do you 537 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: know you win a bet, buy a chicken sandwich, Chicken Bucks. 538 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: Just a little insight to those out there, he says, 539 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: this question to both of you there to both of us, 540 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: is with a stockpile of high round draft picks this 541 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: year thanks to the comps from Cullen Colin maybe something 542 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: David Culley, I was like, what we didn't get one 543 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: for Joel? Thank you? Yes, Cully and Gockway and Jude 544 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: On and the trades of Shaun Wade and Bretticon. What 545 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: do you guys anticipate our approach the draft will be? 546 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: He says, The fact that we have so many in 547 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: the first four rounds is interesting. Do you see combining 548 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: picks to trade up in this year's draft from number fourteen? 549 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: What do you think Cliff Well trading up of fourteen? 550 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: Light possibility, but I would I would bet against that, 551 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: but I definitely see them trading up in other rounds, second, 552 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: third round, because yes, I do feel that there there's 553 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a situation where they clearly want this player. 554 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: Particularly it's offensive line and pass rusture. Defensive one of 555 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: the areas that we're all talking about them strengthen. And 556 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: Eric has thought about them trying to strengthen. If there's 557 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: that guy and he used three picks away, why not 558 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: and you have all these draft picks, why not go 559 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: up and get that guy. So, yes, there will be 560 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: as always with Eric and and Ozzie before him, maneuvering 561 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: around the draft board. And yes, even though I don't 562 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's gonna happen moving from fourteen to 563 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: eight or something like that, I do think there is 564 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna be moving up at some point to get players 565 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: at their target. Yeah, I don't think that the Ravens 566 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: are gonna move up. I think they have so many needs. 567 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: And I don't say that in a bad way, but 568 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: there's just a number of different positions that they could use. 569 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: You know that they could bolst for that first round pick. 570 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: Defensive line, offense, the line, safety, cornerbacking. You know, you 571 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: have a lot of spots that you could use for 572 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: that first round pick inside linebacker who knows right and 573 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: so I doubt that, uh well, pass rusher, outside linebacker. 574 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: So anyway, I think that they're gonna wait and take 575 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: best player available at one of those spots at number fourteen. 576 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: I also don't really see them moving up a lot, 577 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 1: could they. Sure Eric coss is always looking to move 578 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: with the board and find value and all that stuff. 579 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: But let's not forget that. Eric to Cossa said he 580 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: wanted a lot of picks moving forward. He like, I think, 581 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: he said, I want to make twenty picks in the 582 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: next three years or whatever, because they know they need 583 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: to have a lot of young, cheaper talent once Lamar 584 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: Jackson's getting paid, they have to have, like and you 585 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: just take a lot of shots. That's kind of Eric's 586 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: mentality is take shots, and enough of them, We're gonna 587 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: hit the more shots you take. Like. They are not 588 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: a team that says I have to have this player 589 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give up, you know, another player to 590 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: get him. They just aren't so sure it's a possibility. 591 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: But no, I don't think that they're gonna look at 592 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: all these these you know, Day two picks and early 593 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 1: Day three picks and say we're gonna package these up 594 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: and move up. I think that they're still looking to 595 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: make a number of selections. O good, All right. Last 596 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: email here comes from Matthew Uh. He says, with all 597 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 1: the talented wide receivers that are going that we are 598 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: going to face in the a f C North, do 599 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: you see Eric to Costa revisiting any of the failed 600 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: mid season trades like the reporter one for Xavian Howard 601 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: Or are there any free agent cornerbacks like J. C. 602 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: Jackson that we could target instead. M what do you 603 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: think I think the Ravens could be in the cornerback market? Uh, 604 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: at anytime. I mean they've been at any time. They're 605 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: always looking at send money at cornerback, and they valued 606 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: for some of the reasons he outline what they value corners, 607 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: and that was true long before Jamarch showed up in 608 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: the Bengal yep Uh, and then this year proved even 609 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: more so why you should value corners. So, yes, they're 610 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: always in the market for the corner and I could 611 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: see them, whether it be free agency to draft trade, Yes, 612 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: if they can get a corner. In fact, yeah, I 613 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: do think they'll be a corner here playing a prominent 614 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: role next year who's not on the team right now. 615 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: In one form or another, there will be I think, oh, 616 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: I love when you give us your hot takes, the predictions, 617 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: when you put a stamp on the Clifton stamp. Uh. 618 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: I kind of liked the Xavian Howard idea. And that's 619 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: what I hadn't really thought about a lot, because we 620 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: get in this habit of just like pulling up, uh, 621 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, next year's free agent class and saying, Okay, 622 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: who do we want on this list? And most of 623 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: the time it ends up for the Ravens not being 624 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: a guy on that list, right it's somebody that's cut. 625 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: Like we weren't talking about Kevin Zeitler last year at 626 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: this time, who ended up getting released and it was 627 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: a great pick up. And and I kind of think 628 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: that Xavian Howard might be somebody that we're not talking 629 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: about enough. There seemed to be a lot of smoke 630 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: around that mid season that Xavian Howard was a trade 631 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: target for the Ravens. We don't know if that was 632 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: true or not. We do know Erica Costa said of 633 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: the season ending press conference that he tried to make 634 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: a trade mid season trade, had one and just didn't 635 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: have the money to do it, which Davin Howard would 636 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: have required something they had would have needed to free 637 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: up some cast space to make that happen. So we 638 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: know he was looking at somebody and usually where there's smoke, 639 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: there's fire, and Xavian Howard wants out of Miami. He 640 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: made that abundantly clear after the season ended with his tweets. 641 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: It was like the red X, like a see you later, 642 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: like I'm retiring the guys still in the contract he 643 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: was out. It's pretty pretty clear. I think the Ravens, 644 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: like like you said, are not shy about paying cornerbacks. 645 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: I think, you know, the Ravens said they want to 646 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: have Marcus Peters back, but what's life like after he's done. 647 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: You know, they were paying Jimmy Smith not this past year, 648 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: but I think the years before that decent money. You know, 649 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: is there a way they can structure a deal for 650 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: Zavian Howard that basically allows him to be your you know, 651 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: not a huge cap hit this year, but then maybe 652 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: he turns into a Marcus Peters replacement long term for 653 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: this seam and it makes the money that Marcus Peters 654 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: is making. I don't know, but I like you the 655 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: idea I like. I don't know that I see a J. C. Jackson, 656 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: just a straight up unrestricted free agent. That's generally not 657 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: how the Ravens roll. But I think they're spending money 658 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: in some shape or form at corner or safety. I 659 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: think safety could be there the shot fired in free agency. 660 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,479 Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, I've already said I like that idea too. 661 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, thanks for listening. Garrett should be back next week. 662 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'll take another vek. Who knows 663 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: if he even come back. He might just stay wherever 664 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: he is Caribbean. Is he in the cribby? You know 665 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,720 Speaker 1: where he disclosed? No information? Man, he was a ghost, 666 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: that's true. He just goes out and puts that email. 667 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: You know you email get He's got a type. Did 668 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: you notice that he's got the automatic reply with a 669 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: typo in it that tells me that was sent from 670 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: the airport. That was I'm stepping onto the plane. Let 671 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: me put on the automatic reply there. Anyway, maybe he'll 672 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: be back next week, or maybe he'll still be in 673 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: the Bahamas. I don't know, but thanks for joining this. 674 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: Cliff and We will be back with you next week.
