1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: It was probably one of the most challenging things, Um,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: I've probably ever done in my life. Did you get

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: a snake bite? Anything crazy? No happen, did not happen.

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: I tell there was a dance coming out. There was

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: no tunnel to come out of, was there. I'm guessing

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: you didn't do a dance come out of a tunnel?

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Little teaser, A little teaser. Whether I tapped or not.

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: I went there with the right intention. Welcome into the

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: lounge presented by DraftKings. We are in week two of

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: free agency now and a lot has gone down since

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: we last spoke to you. I believe we were very

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: excited about the Zadarius Smith signing last time that we

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: recorded the pod. Well, that didn't work. Things have changed

14
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, UM, so a lot to talk about here,

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Garrett Um. Obviously Zadarius Smith, the old fell through, Ravens

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: pivoted and signed Michael Pierce, and now, as of Monday

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: morning when we're recording this, have now agreed to terms

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: on a three year deal with Pat Rickard. Considering that

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Pat is, you know, tweeting about his excitement, I don't

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: think that one's gonna fall through. I think that one's

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna become official. Um, So, you know, the

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: Ravens are are staying aggressive, you know, in free agency,

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: which I like to see considering how aggressive everybody else

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: in the a f C has been in free agency. Yeah,

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: I mean I like both these moves. I think pat Ricard,

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, let's start with him, like he is somebody

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: that allows the Ravens to play the type of offense

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that they want to play, and he just he affects

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: the game in a variety of ways. And when you

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: play like the Ravens have made it clear that they

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: want to bolster up the offensive line, clear holes in

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: the running game, and Ricard is an extension of that.

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I know he's not an offensive linement, but at times

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: he's used like one, and he is a road grader

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: in the ground game, and he just affects the offense

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. So I think for the

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Ravens offense to be at its best, Patrick Card is

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: part of the team and I think that that's that's

39
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: a huge reason for the signing today. Well, I mean

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: this is one that we talked about in our free

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: agency preview and whatnot, and I was like, this one

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: just makes too much sense. Like, I felt like it

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: was very important in terms of which guys to resign.

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Pat Rick Card was very high on my list of

45
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: guys that I thought the Ravens needed to bring back

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: because of what you're saying. He's just so important to

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: this offense. And really, you know, when the Ravens didn't

48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: have a deal done with him before free agency opened

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: and he's out there on the market, even you were

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: saying to me, you know, do we have more like

51
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: three wide this year? Are we just gonna kind of

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: like continue to evolve the offense and maybe go in

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: a slightly different direction with Lamar you know, kind of

54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: banking on him improving as a passer, and and these

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver the wide receiver depth that we're all excited about,

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Like do they go in that direction? And today's setting

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: to me says, nah, we're not. We're not getting too

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: far away from the roots here. You know, we still

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: want to play smash mouth football, run the ball offensively,

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: uh you know, get those running backs healthy with J. K.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: Dobbins and Gus Edwards and cramped down your throat and

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: and to me, that is still incredibly important. As excited

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: as I am about the wide receivers and as much

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: as much faith as I have in Lamar Jackson taking

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: the next step as a passer like he is best

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: when Lamar can also run in third and five situations,

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: third and four situations, then Lamar Jackson's unique talents become

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: even more dangerous because anything can happen, right, And to

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: get in those third and four and third and five situations,

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: you need to be able to run the ball well

71
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: on first and second down. And pat Rickard is a

72
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: big help in doing that. Yeah, I think you know,

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: when we were talking and as pat sits out there

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: on the market, you just kind of wonder, Okay, is

75
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: this kind of gonna come back because you're gonna go elsewhere,

76
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: and you think about the possibility of him we eaving,

77
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: and when you entertain that, like there's not a natural replacement,

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: like I think that you like, for example, they brought

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: back Ben Mason, right and and people were like, well,

80
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: do they roll all the dice on Ben Mason? But

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean if it had, if you had to, you

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: could have gone down that route. But I don't think

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens obviously that was a wild card versus a

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: three time pro bowler. Yeah, and like even just body type,

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: like Patrick Cards three hundred pounds. You know, Ben Mason's

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: not close to that, and he's a guy who was

87
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: on practice squad last year, So like it's a totally

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: different Like you know, Bradley Boseman left in free agency,

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: and I know what, we can talk about that a

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: little bit more. But like the Ravens have guys who

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: they could plug in at center if they decided to

92
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: make that replacement in house. It could be McCarry, it

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: could be Tristan Cologne, So they could go with that

94
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: route if ri Carter were to leave. I don't think

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: it's as clear cut that you just say, all right, well,

96
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: Ben Mason, step on up, You're going to be the guy.

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: And and so then you're like, all right, so how

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: does that affect thinks? And then that's you know that

99
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: you start thinking about, I guess changing the offense to

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: a certain degree. But the Ravens now don't have to

101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: worry about that because Pat is back. And the other

102
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: thing too that I like about him, like I think

103
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: that his value to the Ravens is more significant than

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: it maybe to another team. And that's kind of the

105
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: point that we're talking about. Here, like he fits this

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: offense so well because the Ravens play a type of

107
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: system that not every team plays, Like the three pound

108
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: fullback is not a mainstay in every offense in the NFL.

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: And so I just thought that like him going elsewhere,

110
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: it never really made a ton of sense to me

111
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: because I thought that the Ravens would value him. But

112
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: but it on, But it only takes one right, it

113
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: only takes one team. And if the Ravens didn't have

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: the cap space or whatever, like you know, and and

115
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: obviously the reports out there where that Pat wanted to

116
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: be paid like a tight end, you know, and and

117
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: paid like a Nick Boyle for example, or more you know,

118
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: to be like a locking tight end, and and understandable,

119
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: like he's been a versus old player. You know, he

120
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: hasn't caught a ton of balls that thing. You caught

121
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: what six passes last year? Um, but like he has

122
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: shown that and you know, played tackle at times, you know,

123
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: stepped in as an extra blocker on the line, like

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: his versatility. I think he was trying to hit the

125
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: market and say, well, I'm worth more than just your

126
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: traditional fullback, you know, but the market, the market dictates

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: in the end what you're you're able to get, and

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm really glad it worked out for both sides.

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: He wanted a combination of Mark Andrews and Ronnie Stanley money. Hey,

130
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm a hybrid tackle tight end baby fifteen to twenty million. Hey, Hey,

131
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: if you can get it, go for it, you know.

132
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I'm glad there's pancakes are staying in

133
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore because I'm gonna not. Yeah, yeah, I think I

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: think it's a really good movie. And you know this

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: kind of the thing in free agency, like you know,

136
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: the first couple of days, you get all excited about

137
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: sort of the splash and the braven you know, Ravens

138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: made splash this year, um, in the early days. Um.

139
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: But then there's also like kind of building your core

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: foundational pieces. And I think that's what you see with

141
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: pat Rickard, and I think that's what you see with

142
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Michael Pierce to who the Ravens added on Friday, And

143
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, like the defensive line before the Michael Pierce edition,

144
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, who's gonna play d line? Is

145
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: it is? Mattabek A gonna play every position? A Ricard

146
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: going back that's that's that's the real reason they got

147
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Ricard as a as a dual player like he was

148
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: earlier in his career. You can play both sides, that's

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: the that's the first question. And when we follow up

150
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: with him after a contract here, you know we're looking

151
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: a little light on the D line. I think, like,

152
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: like Pierce, I like that addition. Like you know, I

153
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: thought I thought when he signed with Minnesota, going back

154
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years, like, I thought he was somebody

155
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: that Ravens would try to keep at that time, and

156
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: maybe they did. You never know what's those conversations are

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But I always liked, uh, Mike. I

158
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: thought he was a great guy. And he's another dude.

159
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: They have Brandon Williams in the middle. Brandon Williams in

160
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the middle of a pretty big contract that they you know,

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: it would have been tough to afford. There's no way

162
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: you could pay Brandon and Michael Pierce at that time.

163
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: But now you know, Brandon is an unrestricted free agent,

164
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: and you know he's still on the market, and so

165
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens, I think, look at Michael Pierce says like

166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: we can plug him in as our run stuffing guy

167
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: in the middle, which you still need that, right, I mean,

168
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: Jelly Justin Ellis is also a free agent, right, So

169
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: like you need a big body down there to take

170
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: on blockers and and help stuff to run. Like as

171
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: much as we talk about it being a passing league,

172
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is still out there. You know, the Steelers

173
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: are still going to run the ball a fair amount.

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: You know, pretty good running back Nick Nick Chubb is

175
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good running back. Right, here's the Steeler's kid. Gosh,

176
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: Naja Harris. Right, They're gonna have run the ball a lot. So,

177
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: like you still need that run stuffer in the middle.

178
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: But the nice part about Michael Pierce's I think he

179
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit more as a pass rusher

180
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: as well. I Mean we're not talking like eight sack

181
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: guy here, but Michael Pierce could be easily a four.

182
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: You know, he could be a four to five maybe

183
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: sack guy and offer a little bit more interior push

184
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: to go along with Mattabek where you get a little

185
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: bit more value and maybe more snaps out of Michael Pierce.

186
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: But you know he's got to come in and shape, like,

187
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's missed a lot of football he was

188
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: a COVID opt out his first year with the Vikings,

189
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: and then last year he missed a fair amount of

190
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: time also, you know, and and he's got to come

191
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: in in good shape with something to prove, and I

192
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: think you will. I like Michael, I always have thought

193
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: he's a good dude and cares a lot about the game,

194
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: and like I think this is a prove it year

195
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: for him, a little in a in a little bit,

196
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: uh in a few ways. So I look forward to

197
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: seeing him do that, you know. And then the other

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: move of free agency, and on the other end is

199
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: probably mosment to Arts. Obviously starting center last year have

200
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: been a starting guarding Baltimore. Before that, he goes to

201
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: Carolina on a one year deal. And this was kind

202
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: of surprising when you see the reported figures on this

203
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: contract around two and a half million dollars the reported

204
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: numbers for what he'll make next year. And I think

205
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people looked at him going into free

206
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: agency and thought that he could get a pretty significant

207
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: deal as a starting center and he ms that ends

208
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: up getting a one year prove it contract in Carolina.

209
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: I think that to me has been one of the

210
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, the bigger, maybe the biggest surprises of of

211
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: free agency so far. Right, well, I think there's kind

212
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: of a game of musical chairs that I believe we

213
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: discussed last podcast and and a lot of teams opted

214
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: to keep there in the center. So the you know,

215
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: the drop, the market kind of dried up one Bradley. Now,

216
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: obviously the question is, you know, why didn't the Ravens

217
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: bring him back at that number? Um, you know, as

218
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: you talked about earlier, you know they have some some

219
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: in house options I think to to potentially step into

220
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: that spot. You know, Patrick McCarry can certainly do that.

221
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Trisan Clone can do that. I mean Tris and Cloone.

222
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Let's let's not let's not forget that Trisan Cloone stepped

223
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: in when Bradley Bozen was ill, too ill to play

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: against the Rams and Aaron Donald, right, Tristan Tristan Cologne

225
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: stepped in as the starting center that day. And really

226
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: the Ravens should have won that game. And and it

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: wasn't like Aaron Donald wreck wrecked the game for the Rams.

228
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: He wrecked the Bengals Super Bowl hopes, but he didn't

229
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: wreck the game that day in Baltimore. And so like,

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's worth pointing out. And when

231
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens are trying to upgrade, you know, have a

232
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: lot of needs, have other places where they need to

233
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: spend this money. You know, brand back pat record that

234
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: we all love. You know, maybe they just stick with

235
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: the in house option instead of whatever ponying up the

236
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: two and a half or nearly three million dollars that

237
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: would have cost to bring back Bradley Bozman And of

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: course j C. Treader the former Brown Center is still

239
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: out there on the market to if the Ravens were

240
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: considered that option. Um ye, So so you know, I

241
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: think the the offensive line is certainly still like influx,

242
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't think I love as we talked about previously,

243
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Like I love the uh Morgan Moses edition, and I

244
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: think that that will really that that'll I'll add a lot.

245
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: And since we recorded the last podcast, we had a

246
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: chance to meet both Marx Williams and Morgan Moses, and

247
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: I really am fired up about these two guys. I

248
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: just think that they're gonna fit great on this team.

249
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: I think that personality wise, they just seem like the

250
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: type of players that will will get along great in

251
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: this locker room. I think that they will just add

252
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: obviously the talent, but I just think that like Morgan Moses,

253
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: as we're talking about the offensive line, like he's a

254
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: prose pro, he's gonna step in, you know, He's gonna

255
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: be available and he's gonna bring it every single week.

256
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: And I think that I just I was really impressed

257
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: with both those guys when they were in the building,

258
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: and I think the coaching staff in the front office

259
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: was as well. And I'm just I think that they're

260
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: going to add a ton to this team. What kind

261
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: of excited me the miss about Marcus was like I

262
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: don't know, You've just seeing him and thinking about like, man,

263
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: we just got a guy in his prime, you know,

264
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: and hearing him talk about like I have still have

265
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: so much more left to improve on in my game.

266
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: You know. When the Ravens previously, it brought in guys

267
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: like Eric Weddle and er you know, Earl Thomas, and

268
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: like there's something to be said for you know, Okay,

269
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: well experience and and all that stuff, and I think

270
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: that's important. But here's Marcus Williams who's had a fair

271
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: amount of experience now five years and it's still in

272
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: his prime and like still has room to grow. Like

273
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 1: to me, that's that's really exciting. Um, you know, the

274
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: other the other obviously we shouldn't gloss over this. The

275
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: other big news of the past several days has been

276
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson landing in Cleveland. That's kind of a big storyline. Um,

277
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: and I wrote a column about this today about I

278
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: mean literally, it seems like every free agent, like big

279
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: free agent is going to the a f C or

280
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: like trade. I mean, other than Tom Brady coming out

281
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: of retirement and staying in the NFC and Aaron Rodgers

282
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: not defecting from Green Bay. You know, he stayed and

283
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: I guess you can put Kirk Cousins in that category.

284
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: But like, other than those moves, I mean literally the

285
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: nf the biggest player, name player the NFC has gotten

286
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: is Allen Robinson, who had a bad year last year.

287
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, like, just look at the names. I'm gonna

288
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: run I'm gonna run you through this real fast, real

289
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: fast here. Okay, if my email starts working and it's

290
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: not well, I'll be out here. Shawn Watson to the

291
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: n f C North is obviously the big one. Russell

292
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Wilson coming over to the is significant. Davante Adams going

293
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: from Green Bay to Vegas is huge. Khalil Mack, Khalil

294
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: Mack is big. This isn't quite on that category. But

295
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: over the week and the Ravens get Lyle Collins to

296
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: bolster their offensive line, the Bengals have gone to work.

297
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: The Baals the Bengals did, right, Yeah, that's what I'd say, Bengals.

298
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: The Bengals have gone to work building up their offensive line,

299
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: which was the biggest issue. And they just went to

300
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, so they addressed their biggest gate. Von

301
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Miller to the Bills, Chandler Jones to the Raiders, um

302
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper to the Browns. J C. Jackson stayed in

303
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: the a f C to the Chargers, Randy Gregory from

304
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to the Broncos. I mean, Marcus, we did

305
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: it too. We got in on the action with Marcus

306
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Williams from the Saints to the you know a FC. Uh,

307
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: It's just it's just wild. I mean, the a f

308
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: C West and the a f C North are loaded loaded.

309
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: We do a conference. This is a good year for

310
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: conference realignment. Can we propose that? My goodness, gracious, I

311
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: mean the NFC is gonna be cupcake Central over there. Yeah,

312
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: it isn't so. And so anyway, I mean, I think

313
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: it just to me reinforces the point of like, alright,

314
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: we're not used to like celebrating in the early days

315
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: and weeks of free agency. It's usually all right, be patient.

316
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: You know, they're able to hit that second wave. We'll

317
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: get some bargains, some guys will get cut, you know,

318
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: and we'll bring them in. You know. Well, Eric Cossas said, Nah,

319
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm going in. I'm getting in on this, you know,

320
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: with Marcus Williams and Morgan Moses and you know what

321
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: we've talked about and and I know I was the

322
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: ground audio. I'm still I'm still not ruling out in Zadarius,

323
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: even though I was, I was getting on you about it.

324
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, the guys still sitting out there, still

325
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: sit out there. Yeah. It's it's you know when whenever

326
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: the players stays on the market, they're available, you know,

327
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: like and sometimes you hear nothing until you hear something

328
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: like we did with pat Rickard. Like we hadn't really

329
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: heard anything on the card up until this morning when

330
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: the word it was all right, we've agreed to a

331
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: three year deal with him, Let's get it out like

332
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: that was that was the first, you know, that's what

333
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: you hear. And so sometimes it's like silent, silent silence. Okay,

334
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: what's going on with Darius, what's going on with Clais Campbell?

335
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Like where are those guys are gonna sign? Okay, boom

336
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: they end up resigning, And yeah, Calais is another one.

337
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: He's just sitting out there. We're not hearing a whole lot, right,

338
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: you know we didn't there was there was You didn't

339
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: really hear anything on Bozeman up until he signs. Like,

340
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: sometimes you just don't hear things. And I think that

341
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you mistake like a lack of for a lack

342
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: of action. And there's a lot that can be taking

343
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: place behind closed doors that none of us are necessarily

344
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: privy to. And you know that those conversations are being

345
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: had by the front office and we just don't know

346
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: exactly who they're having in with and and you know

347
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: how close were moving to potential deals. Yeah, well, with

348
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: all that said, you know this is the ultimate buried

Speaker 1: Ray thrilled to be joined by the ray Lewis. Thanks

354
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: for joining us, Ray. Uh, we want to talk first

355
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: year at the beginning about your new TV show, Beyond

356
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: the Edge, which debuts on CBS this week. Uh. So

357
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: you're in the jungles of Panama and I you're back.

358
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're back in one piece. Buddy. You didn't

359
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: get bit by anything while? Did you get a snake

360
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: bite anything crazy? Don't no, don't say what didn't happen

361
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: did not happen. First of all, the first thing that

362
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: happened is I don't know how I got caught up

363
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: in this show. I just don't know. I don't know

364
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: how I accepted going on this show. Um. But of course,

365
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: uh when I got there, it is probably one of

366
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: the most challenging things, UM, I've probably ever done in

367
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: my life. Why because most of it was unpredictable and

368
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: you just never knew what was coming next. But then

369
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: I think the friendships and the bonds um that were created,

370
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: I think it was like a real like a spiritual awakening. Man.

371
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: It was like you know you're out there, you're out

372
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: of your bed, you don't have food, you don't have water,

373
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: you're sleeping on bamboo steaks and yeah, and snakes everywhere,

374
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: and black scorpions and thirteen different species of monkeys, howling

375
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: monkeys at that, Yeah, which one of our all night

376
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: and we got rained on out of fifteen days, probably

377
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: eight of those. So horrible, just horrible cherience. So let's

378
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: back it up a little bit for fans who are

379
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: not aware of the show, give a little background as

380
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: so what the show is. Yeah, So basically, UM, nine

381
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: celebrities got together and it's really to come out. It's

382
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: called Beyond Edge, and it's about coming out of your

383
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: coming out of your comfort zone for a purpose creative

384
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: than chess. You. So, each celebrity had their UM own

385
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: selected charity. UM. Mine was Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital, UM,

386
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: of course because all the work I've done with them

387
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: over years. UM. And everybody else had a different you know,

388
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: um charity. UM. And it was every every day that

389
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: you actually stayed stayed in the fifteen days, you raise

390
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: more money and more money. But then you actually raised

391
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: even more money with these mental and physical challenges that

392
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: you were going through daily, right, so you would pick

393
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: up this call and they would tell you to come

394
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: to this location in a jungle and with no food,

395
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: no order. Uh, and we had to Basically it survived.

396
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's like almost a metaphor what I

397
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: truly believe like our world should kind of adopt it, right,

398
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: is because none of a lot of us didn't know

399
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: each other. But we had to figure out a way

400
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: to work with each other, regardless of background, regardless of race,

401
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: regardless of who you are. So it had to come

402
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: to two ways, which is communication and love right to

403
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: help each other. And then the teams were divided in

404
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: a way that you could not choose a buddy to say, hey,

405
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: let's be a partner and let's go do this. You

406
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. It was random. Every day you had

407
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: a different captain, different schedules, different right like to put

408
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: the teams together. So it was it was really, um

409
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: a very well thought out plan on how to bring

410
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: all people together. I think that's kind of the ethos

411
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: of the show itself of really talking about beyond the hedge,

412
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: but but for something much greater. Now I know, I

413
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: know you're on there. A couple of other athletes. We

414
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: had Mike Singletary former athletes, and we had a metal

415
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: world peace. So but I know, knowing you, there's no

416
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: way and you can't tell us who won the show.

417
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: But there's no way you tapped out early, right, there's

418
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: no way. It was like a bunch of country singers

419
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: in you. I ain't telling you what I did, man,

420
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm just my blood Persson ain't been the same since

421
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: I did. Look, I think you guys will really, I

422
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: think anybody that's watching the show would really. Um, it's

423
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: it's so entertaining because it's the unpredictable, and it's people

424
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: in places that we don't go. That's not what we

425
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: do as human beings, you know. And so, um, whether

426
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: I tapped or not, all I'm gonna tell you is

427
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: I went there with the right intention. Okay, follow up

428
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: question on that. If there's one thing that ray Lewis

429
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: is scared of, like we could be talking to scorpions,

430
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: the snakes, whatever. If there's one thing you're scared of,

431
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: what is it? Uh? A great white Okay? All right,

432
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: So we didn't have any great wakes and Panama, no, no,

433
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: but serious, like one of my one of my like

434
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: o because I just I go, I lose my mind, um,

435
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: around the snakes or you know, yeah, yeah, then you

436
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: were in trouble. Yeah, I'm just not a fan of them.

437
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm not fear I'm not you know, I'm If I

438
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: see a snake, I'm not going to freak out right,

439
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: but if he's if he's within two feet, I will freak.

440
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: It's over there, I'm okay. Well once it gets close,

441
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: it's a little different story, right right, changes Man, So

442
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: I was pretty I was pretty cool. Man. I just

443
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: think that I think it was a really amazing experience,

444
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: um and and and and honestly, I think more than

445
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: just the challenges, because they were brutal. They were brutal. Um.

446
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, you you had to be almost, you know,

447
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: almost like a cross trainer or somebody who just was

448
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: training a lot and a lot of different things because

449
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: you're doing so many things that does not have a

450
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: manual to it, you know, it's just conception. And when

451
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: people thought of so, um, yeah, man, it was really hard.

452
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think I fear too much. I feared

453
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: sleeping at night not knowing what's gonna come, you know,

454
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: tap on my net on. But that was cool. That's

455
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: that's cool. I know that you're obviously incredibly competitive guy.

456
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: So when you're in that situation scenario, like, does that

457
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: competitive fire that we used to see on Sundays come

458
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: back out of you? Like you? And I tell there

459
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: was a dance coming, there was no ann to come

460
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: out of was there? I'm guessing you didn't do a

461
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: dance come out of a tunnel. But did the competitive

462
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: energy come out of you? I'm not gonna say if

463
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: it was a dance, little teaser, A little teaser. No,

464
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: I tell you it's always it's always competitive, right, And

465
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: for me it's easy. Right. You tell me you can

466
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: chew chewing gum faster than me, I'm gonna say you can't.

467
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: So but um no, I think um. The reason what

468
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: made it so competitive once again, it's because you. You

469
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: were partnered in these unique things events that we were doing.

470
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: And what made it even where you had to be

471
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: more engaged is you had to help people, right who

472
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: didn't not necessarily have a physical strength or couldn't carry

473
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: certain things. You know, So that side kicked in and

474
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: now you have the race to this point and you

475
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: have to get put this in this Oh my gosh, guys,

476
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: how I did it and I'm talking about it. I

477
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: just don't know how to treat me to do it,

478
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: all right, So we gotta talk some football with you

479
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: a little bit here. Ray. You know, you know some

480
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: of the biggest talking points around this team, and uh,

481
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: issue number one or topic number one right now is

482
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and his contract. If you were Lamar's advisor,

483
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: would you say, all right, man, you can get that

484
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed money. Ray, now get a big counter tract with

485
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: some guarantee money. Or or would you say, hey, play

486
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: it out, try to win a super Bowl and then

487
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: go back to the table like Joe Flacker did. What

488
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: I would say to him is, you know everything, every

489
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: decision that this big should be done not only in prayer,

490
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: but it should be done with the right council. And

491
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: I just think, um, I would encourage him to do

492
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: go ahem a route he feels and it's hard. I'm

493
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: we're not is that that's his money, is his life, whatever.

494
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: But I just think, you know, throughout my career, the

495
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: things that I learned signing my deals was having somebody

496
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: who's done it before, you know, having somebody who don't

497
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: need nothing for you, from you. But the game has

498
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: a window to it, right, opportunities has a wind a

499
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: window to it. So I would tell him, I just

500
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: hope that every tea has crossed, every every eyes doted

501
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: to understand the entire scheme of what's being left, was

502
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: not being left, was mine, was not mine? What's possible,

503
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: what's not possible? And I think once you get there, man,

504
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: you can start. He can really start to whatevery wherey

505
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: wherever he is. Um And I said this on the

506
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: Rich Eyes and Show earlier. You know, I just hope

507
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: he understands that his decisions are much bigger than him.

508
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: You know, Um, that's what I understood. You know in

509
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: my career that my impact right totally different than Lamar's.

510
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: But my impact was not just football. My impact was

511
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: people in the community in my city a right, Baltimore.

512
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: And so that's the things that he has the way

513
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: out about this decision, and hopefully he does it sooner

514
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: than later. Man, I would not want to see nothing

515
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: crazy happened in Lamar. Now say in Baltimore? Is you

516
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: big up A cool point, which is you know that

517
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: it's bigger than him, And honestly, since you retired, he's

518
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: there's been great players here, but he has connected with

519
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: fans here in a way that I have only seen

520
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: since you played. Like it's it's a different level, and

521
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: there's like so much buzz and excitement, and when he's

522
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: out here at training camp, like the energy around him

523
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: is is just different. And honestly, you know, as I've

524
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: said it before, that like there was when I saw that,

525
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: it was the first time I've seen it since you

526
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: you were playing, So like, how is it to watch that?

527
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: And do you see that too? Like do you feel that?

528
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: And how cool was it been to see that? Yeah? Yes,

529
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: certain people have what you're called the it right, he

530
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: has the it factor and that's what makes him. That's

531
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: what makes people want to play with him. That's what

532
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: makes people want to play for him right there, do anything,

533
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: And that's what makes fan and that's what actually makes

534
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: fans like go crazy over him because he has that

535
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: it factor, he has that if factor and and that

536
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: it's so special. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. I'm sorry, guys,

537
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: it's so special. What what Lamar has that it's contagious, right,

538
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: That's What's what I'm telling you. This is what makes

539
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: um you know, leaders like him and and this is

540
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: why I say he has to understand his impact beyond

541
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: just I'm Lamar Jackson, and I do this right, because

542
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: he has something that's uber special and he has to

543
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: he you, you have to hold it and protected like

544
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: a baby, right, and you have to know how important

545
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: you are to people and and and not just football, right.

546
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: And I think I really do, man, I think he

547
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: really gets it. I just I do. I just think

548
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: he's doing some of the things that we have saw

549
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: the conventional way of doing that. He's doing the defferent.

550
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: He's right, And everybody has their own choice, right nobody.

551
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, when when Joe made his move and you know,

552
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: decided to ride out, you know his deal, right, he

553
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: had the best postseason that we have seen, you know

554
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then and then after that he

555
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, he was a genius. You know,

556
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: he did his thing. And you know, I know Joel

557
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: Lamar two different quarterbacks. But I'm just saying from an

558
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: impact standpoint, Lamar I think has a much bigger um

559
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: um um crown to carry. And yeah, I just think

560
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: he needs to think about it. Yeah, really a lot. Interesting. So,

561
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: so you were in the house. You were at M

562
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: ANDT Bank Stadium for for at least one game. I

563
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: remember the camera going up to you and you hyping

564
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: up the fans, getting them going. And I'm sure it

565
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: pains you something to see some of the defensive troubles

566
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: that the Ravens had this past season. You, yeah, I

567
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: think it's I think it pains me. I think it

568
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: pains me. Uh do you hear me? Yeah, I think

569
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: it pains me period. Like I I don't. I'm not

570
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: a fan of watching um defense, like from that perspective.

571
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: One of the one of the reasons because of the

572
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: rules of the game. You know, it's just it's so diluted. Man,

573
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: It's it's so bad to see that these guys work

574
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Bay all week, get themselves to a position, and then

575
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: that snatched away from them because you didn't. You tack

576
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: at the quarterback a little bit too hard, you took

577
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: him to the ground. And so for me, I think

578
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: all defense for me is like my head is like

579
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: really so being Ravens man, It's just like, you know,

580
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: it's ram leader, right. You gotta have a leader. You

581
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: gotta have someone who understands the entire thing, not just

582
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: what my position is for sure. Awesome. White. It's really

583
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: good to catch up with you. I appreciate the time

584
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: that you've given us fans. Make sure you go watch

602
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: of Ray, it was great to talk with him. We'll

603
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: see how he does on the show. Um, you know,

604
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: that's I would think that he goes really far. But

605
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk to him about it, it

606
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: didn't make he didn't like make it sound like, oh yeah,

607
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win this thing now. Maybe he was just

608
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of throwing us off the scent. I

609
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. He didn't sound too confident.

610
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you if if Ray got beat by a

611
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: country singer, I'm gonna have to give him some some

612
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: smack talk on that one. That's right, I'll do it.

613
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Don't think I want to smack talk

614
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you will. I'm sure

615
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: you will. You know it was also it was it

616
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: was um you know, as we finished that interview, like

617
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: like I told him, it's just been interesting to see

618
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson developed into the type of player with a

619
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: response that he gets from fans in Baltimore. And and

620
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, it sounds like Racey's it too, the same

621
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: thing I do, which is just that like the response

622
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: that he gets is it's just different. And as Ray said,

623
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: like as Lamar goes through this process, like it's important

624
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: to for him to kind of understand that it is

625
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: better than him, Like he impacts the team, the organization,

626
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: the community in such a significant way. And that's definitely

627
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: something that Ray understood and I think that, you know,

628
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: I do think Lamar understands that too, But it's just

629
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: it is his everything that he does has a ripple

630
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: effect to so many different people, and and it was

631
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: just interesting to hear Race respective on that because he's

632
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: kind of uniquely positioned to understand that, you know what

633
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking just briefly because we're gonna wrap

634
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: it up here soon, but I was thinking about this

635
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: this weekend with Lamar and the contract, and it's just

636
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: so unique the way he's going about it. You know.

637
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: It's also unique is like him in terms of endorsements,

638
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: like this is nothing new, right, I mean, Lamar Jackson

639
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: probably could have signed a you know, many many million

640
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: dollar deal with any of the big athletic sponsors, and

641
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't, you know, like he hasn't, and it kind

642
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: of like leaves you being like, does Lamar not really

643
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: care about money? But that's clearly not the case. You

644
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: know what he said to Lebron James, you know, like

645
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: I've always dreamed about being a billionaire and like I

646
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: just think that Lamar has like this ultimate like confidence

647
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: in himself and belief that like I'm just gonna make

648
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: my own brand, like I'm gonna do it different and

649
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like wait and I'm gonna do my own thing.

650
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like so big that like you know

651
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: what if George Michael Jordan had started Jordan's without Nike,

652
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: how rich would that have made him? You know what

653
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Like like I don't know, It's just it's

654
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: just interesting to also think about it from that perspective

655
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: that like this is not something new that like Lamar

656
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: is going about it a different way. Yeah, I think that,

657
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, we've said with him many times, like he's

658
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: he's a unique player and person and he takes he

659
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: like he controls his own destiny and a variety of

660
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: ways in every way, and he's just he's gonna do

661
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: it by the rules that he wants to um and so,

662
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: like like I said before, well and and and the

663
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: more you see these contracts roll in like Deshaun Watson's

664
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed contract, you know, which is a record setter,

665
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: a history maker, you know, I mean, we're getting into

666
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: baseball's style contracts. Now, you know, when you see those

667
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: contracts start rolling in your you go, all right, I

668
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: gotta see what Lamar is doing. The longer you wait,

669
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, let's make a whole lot more sense. Well,

670
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: that is another interesting point that you make and how

671
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: these new deals will impact the quarterback market, because like

672
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: something that we know is that the dealers just keep

673
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: going up and as soon as somebody signs the highest,

674
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: the biggest contract, the record setting contract, well then the

675
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: next guy breaks it almost in almost always, that's how

676
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: it plays out. So now you're getting two hundred plus

677
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: million fully guaranteed. What does that look like in a

678
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: year or two through the biggest contract, and if Lamar

679
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: keeps playing the way that we all expect him to,

680
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: hopefully wins the Super Bowl in that time, what's that

681
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: contract going to look like a lot of mine? A

682
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: lot of zeros on it, Yep, a lot of zeros

683
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: on for sure. Anyway, thank you for listening. As always,
