1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings Ravens. Minicamp has 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: come to a close. It is time for some bakay uh. 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: But it was an exciting three days, action packed. The intensity, 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: as we said the last podcast is definitely was definitely 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: turned up and we learned some things. So Garrett and 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: I are here to break it all down for you. Garrett, 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: any big takeaways from you, Well, yeah, I think you 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: start with Lamar Jackson. That's probably where most of the 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: attention is going to be for obvious reasons. I thought 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: from the football side of things, it was all positive 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: in terms of what I saw from him out on 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: the field. Thought that he threw the ball really well, 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: tight spiral ball was exploding out of his hand, so 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: that was really encouraging. He had some downfield passes to 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman, Mark Andrews, like I mean, those guys are 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: always good, but it's good to see it. So I 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: thought that was really encouraging. And then and then today 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: on the final day, you know, he had some connections 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: with Isaiah Likely who have one of the best, probably 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: the best. You know, he stood out today. Um so yeah, 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: I mean I think that was what you wanted to 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: see from mini camp, um, and I know we're gonna 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: talk beyond just mini camp, and you know, this is 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: also the end of the off season program and this 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: is like where things conclude, so now, you know, kind 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: of I was I was kind of just playing around 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: with that, like, do we not consider training camp the 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: off season? No, that's the season, that's the season, that's 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the season, the preparation for the season. Yeah, that's not 30 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: the off season anywhere. That's training camp. That's the season. Okay, 31 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: because I was just playing with this wording, you know, 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: and I was like the season. If you say, like 33 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: a guy had an injury in training camp, you would 34 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: say he had wouldn't you say he had an off 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: season and you would say you had a training training 36 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: camp injury. Okay, yeah, exactly exactly writing that. Honestly, that's 37 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: a big takeaway, Like given all the injuries that the 38 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: team had, and there's been times, I mean, I think 39 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: Tavon Young was a guy who got hurt in an 40 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: O t A practice. Dennis Pitta got hurt, I believe 41 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: in an O t A practice. So like to go 42 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: through O t A s and not have any major injuries, 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: that was a that was a big item that the 44 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: Ravens were able to accomplish, especially given the way the 45 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: last season went. So that was encouraging for sure. And 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: good injury updates. Let's just start well, hold on, we're 47 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: getting ahead of ourselves. We're bouncing all over the place. 48 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: You want to get back to Lamar. Okay, first of all, okay, 49 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: and I agree with you that on the field, I mean, 50 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of interceptions aside whatever, Like he 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: looks good. He looks really good throwing the ball. And 52 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: it was interesting to hear John Harball say, you know, 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: he didn't really see any kind of lack of chemistry, 54 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Like the chemistry looked good with the wide receivers. You know, 55 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: that was all the talk and O T s and 56 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: we kind of predicted this, right. It was like once 57 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: Lamar steps back on the field, all the consternation from 58 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: otis was just going to fade away quickly, and it did, right. 59 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: And now part of that is like if he came 60 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: back and he looked out of shape and and whatever 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: didn't perform well there, then maybe it wouldn't have right 62 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: then It's been like, dude should have been here Frozier's 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: but it was the opposite, right, he showed up looking 64 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: like a g I Joe. Um, and like, you know, 65 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: he added twelve to fifteen pounds of muscle, he said, 66 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: which is a lot. I've added twelve of the fifteen pounds, 67 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: but it hasn't been muscled. Um. Different punds differ. Yeah. 68 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: Did you hear him when I asked the question of 69 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: how much weight he's gaining? He was like, you mean 70 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: muscle mess Yes, I'm not calling you fat. Yeah, Um, 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: But like I mean, he looks it's just noticeably stronger. Um. 72 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: And that has played a part in why he's throwing 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the ball so well. You know, I think James Irbin 74 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: gave a good answer in terms of how much of 75 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: his is strength and how much is just working on 76 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: the improved mechanics, because at the same time, while he 77 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: was doing a lot of training, he was also working 78 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: with Adams did Know and the whole you know, throwing 79 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: mechanics team that he's worked with the past two off seasons, 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: and just that continued work seems to be paying off. 81 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: John Harball James Irvan both said the mechanics look really 82 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: good right now, and so the combination of those two 83 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: things has him just purely throwing the ball really really well, yeah, 84 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: which is which is huge. And so I think that, 85 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: like you know, I think whenever like someone's in the 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: absence of information, that just leads to speculation, which I 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: know that we'll get to that in a second. You know, 88 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: there was a lot of conversation about his contract, but 89 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: when he wasn't here and there was just like, oh 90 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: is that a statement? What's going on? How's it going 91 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: to be once he gets here? All that stuff. Then 92 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: when he got here and like it just kind of 93 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: felt normal. It felt like things just went back to 94 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: the way they've been. Yeah. I mean, if it wasn't 95 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: like a good feeling to be out here for three 96 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: weeks o t a s without Lamar Jackson here, like 97 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: he's the star of the show. Yeah, of course, you know, 98 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: And like even on the business side of the building 99 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: when Lamar came back, it was like you know what 100 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean, and honestly, like it just makes you feel 101 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: like to the contract part of it, it's just like, man, 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: whatever the number ends up being, at the end of 103 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: the day, like it'll just be a great day when 104 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is signed, you know, to what we think 105 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: is going to happen to a multi year, long term extension. 106 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and transition into that. He got, 107 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: you know, a dozen questions or so about the contract. 108 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: He did talk with the reporters. This is the first 109 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: time he talks since the season ended, and so lots 110 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: of questions about that. He doesn't Lamar has been private 111 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: about contract stuff forever. He was not an open book 112 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been. And so I don't know if 113 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: you if you're expecting him to to kind of give 114 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: you a full point by point breakdown of how the 115 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: contract negotiations are going. Yeah, I don't know why you 116 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: would have thought that. He did not go that route. Um, 117 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, he basically said, we're having a conversation. He said, 118 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: He said they've had conversations recently during menicamp, and that 119 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: like it's going to be a conversation. Maybe Lamar's just 120 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: not Maybe he's like me, he's just not a big 121 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: phone conversation guy. My mother would be able to talk 122 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: speak to this. I don't like talking on the phone. 123 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I'll talk in person all day, 124 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I'll talk to your ear off, I'll text you. I 125 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: don't like talking on the phone especially, don't like FaceTime. 126 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: FaceTime is the worst, Zoom FaceTime, all those the worst. Anyway, 127 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: Maybe Lamar is the same guy, you know, like he 128 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: gets here, he'll talk to you in person, but he 129 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: doesn't really want to do the phone game. Yeah, maybe 130 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: that's what it is. Maybe, um you know, honestly, I 131 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: think a lot of it is. Like clearly he's been 132 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: quite focused on his training, right, Like he's been. I 133 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: just think he's been in his own kind of world 134 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: down in South Florida where he loves it, where he 135 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: grew up. You know, he's been home and he's been 136 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: working hard, training and working with the quarterbacks coach and 137 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and and enjoying his home life in Florida. Right. 138 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: And I think that Lamar Jackson knows that someday he's 139 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: going to get a lot of money. He's gonna get 140 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: a large contract regardless. Right. Uh So he's just not 141 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: like he just doesn't feel pressed to me about it. 142 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: Like Lamar has never struck me as a guy that's 143 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: really pressed about the business side of football, you know, 144 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Like he's just like that that'll take care of itself. 145 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: And I just want to win. I want to win. 146 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: A lot of games and I want to play really well. 147 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: And I think it did not sit well with him 148 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 1: sitting out the end of last season and seeing the team, 149 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: you know, go fall out of the playoffs. It didn't 150 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: it really I think hurt him as a He's a 151 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: competitive guy, you know, and I think it probably heard 152 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: him that, like even before he was knocked out completely, 153 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: like you know, they were, he started getting knocked around 154 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: a little bit, right, and like it's what didn't feel like. 155 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: And I think he wants to get back to that level, 156 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: if not better. And I think he wants to lead 157 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: this team to a super Bowl and I know he does, 158 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: and so I just think that's where his focus has been. 159 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: And it hasn't really been on the money side of 160 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: of the game, you know what I mean. Well, I 161 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: think that there's two points there. One is I did 162 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: find an interesting in his press conference. He said he 163 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: feels better than he did in you know, in nineteen 164 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: going into the season, and so he's got like those 165 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: types of expectations. He didn't say, I feel, you know, 166 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm expecting to be better than it was last year. 167 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: He went back to the year that he won the MVP, right, 168 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: So like that is where his mind is, like that 169 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to get back to that level. He definitely wants. 170 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure he was the top of the NFL. He 171 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: was the king of the mountains, right and like other 172 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: guys have surpassed him the past couple of years, you 173 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like they've they've toppled him, and 174 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: so he wants to get back there no doubt about it. 175 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: And he can, yeah, I think. And also on the 176 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: contract front, you know, he was asked, do you expect 177 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: to play your entire career in Baltimore? And he said 178 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: that he does, like big, that's big, you know. So 179 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: it's like there's no doubt, Like if anybody had any 180 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: questions about this, Lamar want to play a year and 181 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: all the offensive stuff, you know, like Hollywood requested a trade, 182 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: you know, because the offensesn't suited him. Does does Lamar 183 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: really want to be a Baltimore Raven? Does he want 184 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: to be in this offense long term? You know? Yeah? 185 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: He does. Well that that that's like kind of the 186 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: starting point. It's like, all right, there's all this stuff. 187 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: There's oh t A, she's not there, there's this contract, 188 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: you're going into last season, he's gonna be franchised after that. 189 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: Like everyone's got these different like theories, and he shouldn't 190 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: step on the field unless he gets a contract, Like 191 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: there's all these all this different the other that's the 192 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: other thing. Yeah, but but like so there's all this 193 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: this talk, but at the end of the day, the 194 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: Ravens have said they want Lamars their quarterback for the 195 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,119 Speaker 1: foreseeable future. I want to be So it's like, okay, 196 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: now let's figure out the finer points of that. Whether 197 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: that happens this year or next year, I don't know, 198 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: but like both sides are saying, this is the deal. 199 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: This is the arrangement that we want exactly. So yeah, 200 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna get done. Um to the the other point 201 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: that you just said, the whole like Lamar not stepping 202 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: on the field thing, this guy has never been afraid 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: of getting injured. Never, So all the people out there 204 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: that are like this guy, you gotta get your guaranteed 205 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: money before you risk in treet like they are the 206 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: same people that said Lamar shouldn't run anymore because he's 207 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: gonna get blasted to smith reens in the NFL, right, 208 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: and like he needs to learn how to slide better 209 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: and all this stuff, Like Lamar has just never paid 210 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: attention to that. Like you may think he's wrong, you 211 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: may think that that's a mistake, but I'm just telling you, 212 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's brain is not wired to be scared. He's 213 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: not like you and the Pittsburgh Steelers, where you're just 214 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: scarred all the time. Lamar is not scared of anything. 215 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: And so, like, he just I don't think he's thinking 216 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: that way. He's not thinking I gotta get guaranteed money 217 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: because what if? What if? Like he just doesn't seem 218 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: to play the one if game was in the moment. No, yeah, totally, 219 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: And that's just never been how he operates. Yeah, So, 220 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: so I don't think he's all that particularly worried about it. 221 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that he, you know, knows that whatever 222 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: the longer he waits, the more contract you know, quarterback 223 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: contracts keep going up, right, the bigger the deals getting. 224 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: Maybe in the back of his mind he thinks, well, 225 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm not pressed to get this money now. I think 226 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a really good season this year. I'm 227 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: gonna get stronger, I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure I 228 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: do my part to have a really good season and 229 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: then maybe after this season, I'll get that big deal, 230 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: or I'll get it before the season, and that would 231 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: be great too, you know what I mean, Like I 232 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: think that he would be happy to get a deal 233 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: done this offseason as well. Yeah, So it's also interesting, 234 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: like you know, he just walked in here and ESPNS 235 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: on and they're doing a segment about you know, Lamar 236 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: may sit out at start training camp and that, so 237 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: like just like just as a little bit of like 238 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: kind of insight into how press conferences often work. You know, 239 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: this press conference is going on if you didn't watch 240 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: the whole thing, and you know, he's asked I don't know, 241 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: five questions about the contract. Well this he's asked five initially, 242 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: and then he gets to the point where he just 243 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: I have now decided that I'm gonna answer every question 244 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: contract related with we're having conversations, we'll see basically, And 245 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: so that became the stock answer for every time that 246 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: contracts was mentioned. You canna answer, you can fire away 247 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: whatever question you wanted. But once Lamar heard the word contract, 248 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: his brain went to we're in negotiate, we're talking a conversations, 249 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: we're having a conversation. So someone Askedton, like, are you 250 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: going to come to training camp or would you sit 251 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: that out until you get a new contract, and basically said, what, 252 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: we're having conversations. We'll see, right he said, he said, 253 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: we're having conversations. I don't know. Yeah. So then that 254 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, he may not show up. That I 255 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: don't know is a throwaway line. That is a nothing line. 256 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: It's just like it doesn't mean anything. Yeah. Yeah, So 257 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: I did not take it at all that Lamar was 258 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: saying training camp is up in the air. For me, No, no, no, no, 259 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: training camp would be the mandatory portion of practices. Like 260 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: if he wasn't going to show up at training camp, 261 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: why the hell would he have come to mandatory minicamp. Yeah. Also, 262 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: he's getting together with his teammates this between now and 263 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: training camp, honestly, Like that's what I would want to ask, Like, 264 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: if he were gonna hold out training camp and the 265 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: season to get a new contract, he wouldn't have come 266 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: out here for minicamp, right, right of course, So Lamar 267 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: Jackson is not holding out, like I just I knew 268 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: as soon as that quote went out, you know on Twitter, 269 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, and you see the words the idol know 270 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: that it was gonna be misconstrued, and sure enough it was. 271 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: And now we're gonna have to deal with a month 272 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: of this, you know, while we're trying to sit on 273 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: the beach, and it's gonna be like, well, mar is 274 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: he gonna be there? Right? Spoiler Yes, Lamar Jackson will 275 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: be there. Yeah. Also, I thought, you know, just like 276 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: being around him a little bit, like at media day 277 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: and out you know it practice, like he was excited 278 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: to be back. I think that he felt like energized 279 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: by being in the building again and being around the guys, 280 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: like he has fun in this atmosphere, like he likes 281 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: practice and he likes being around the guys, and like 282 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: you could sense that like by no means it's in 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: fact the exact, Like he was not disgruntled. He wasn't 284 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: disgruntled coming in here like grudgingly like I gotta be there, 285 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: Like he was excited to be here with guys. You know. 286 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: I think the question is like, well, so if he's 287 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: excited to be here with the guys, which I think 288 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: he is, and why I wasn't here for ots right, 289 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: which he has been, and and his explanation of that 290 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: was like I just wanted to keep grinding. Basically, was 291 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: that like I was grinding, I was in he was 292 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: in a groove. He was like in a good place 293 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: in South Florida. He was enjoying what he was doing. 294 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: He felt like he was getting bigger and better. And 295 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: I think that he felt like it just wasn't um 296 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't mandatory like that, both literally and figuraively, Like 297 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: he didn't think that he had to do that in 298 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: order to get this chemistry with his wide receivers and 299 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: all that. Like, he felt like he had good chemistry 300 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: with them when they were in these workouts that they 301 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: did together, these workouts out in California, he felt like 302 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: they were on the same page. And he just felt like, 303 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I got a good thing going on 304 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: down here. I like being in South Florida. We all 305 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: know that. And so until it's really mandatory then and 306 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: the the city has turned up a little bit, then no, 307 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do the ot A stuff, right 308 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: And and I will say it was I thought it 309 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: was a good sign that he ran that by his teammates. 310 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: He talked to his teammates before he made that decision 311 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: to say what do you guys think if I skipped 312 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: this right, I like that he did that. Um, so 313 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: I think that, uh, you know, Lamar knows when it's 314 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: time to get in that mandatory work, like when you 315 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: have to be there and mandatory manicamp has one. I 316 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: mean he had to yet, I mean, you're exactly And 317 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: John Harball even said, I mean he said, like, yeah, 318 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean after missing the OTAs, the chemistry 319 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: look pretty good to me, you know what I mean, 320 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: So I didn't look like you missed all that much 321 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: and like some of the cad and stuff the new offense, 322 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: you know we talked about, you know, of the new 323 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: offense that greg Ron referred to. Sure he has to 324 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: catch up on that stuff, but like plenty of time 325 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: to do so in training camp. Totally. So enough, you 326 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: know enough Lamar talk here for the first fifteen minutes 327 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: as we kick things off. He's kind of important. There's yeah, 328 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: there's is there ever enough Mark law Jackson conversation. Um. 329 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: In terms of other stuff that I think you know 330 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: stood out injury updates, John Harbor did give some injury update. Yes, 331 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: so now we did not see J K. Dobbins, Gus 332 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: said Wards Marcus Peters, Ronnie Stanley at all on the 333 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: field over the course of the off season. Not that 334 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: we expected to, um, But John Hardball said that, you know, 335 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: he's hopeful. He wasn't specifically asked about Marcus Peters, Markus 336 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: Spouser by the way, or Tias Bowser. Ye, Thias Bowser. 337 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: Obviously he tore his achilles in the last game of 338 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: the season, so the injured guy. Yeah, so, but he 339 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: did say with Ronnie, j K and Gus that he 340 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: is hopeful that all of them are going to be 341 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: back on the field at some point in training camp 342 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: and ready for the start of the season. Yeah. I 343 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: mean what he said about Ronnie I thought was especially encouraging. 344 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: You know, he said his ankles looking really good, um, 345 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: and that right now. But he said he's in the 346 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: part of his rehab where he's getting in good shape, 347 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: like getting in his best physical shape. That's a good sign, right, 348 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: Like first you have to recover from the injury able 349 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: to move, and then once you are able to move, well, 350 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: then it's like, all right, well let's get in shape, 351 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: you know for practice. And he said he's to that point. Yeah, yeah, 352 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: that's a good point. And and because because Ronnie is 353 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: like just a massive domino on this offensive line and 354 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: the team as a whole. Like, when he's playing at 355 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: his best, he's as good of a left tackle in 356 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: the game when I thought John made a good point 357 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: about that, you know, when asked how big would it 358 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: be to get Ronnie Stanley back basically, and he's like, well, 359 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: it depends, you know, is he the Ronnie stant the 360 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: All Pro Ronnie Stanley in twin nineteen? You know, like, 361 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: if we're getting that guy back, then it's huge. But 362 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: it remains to be seen, you know. I Mean that's 363 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: the big question with all these guys, right, It's not 364 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: just getting them back on the field, that's certainly big, 365 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: but are they atent of what they once were? Are 366 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: nine of the what what they once were? That's kind 367 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: of the big question with a lot of these star players, 368 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: and Ronnie being nearer at the top of that list 369 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: because he already last year tried to come back and 370 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: then said, well I wasn't at a high enough percentage 371 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 1: point uh to continue right and had to have another surgery. 372 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: So if he comes back and again doesn't feel right 373 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, that's then I don't feel great about it. 374 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: But if he comes back and he's Ronnie Stanley a 375 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: percent or better, then I feel wonderful. Yeah, yeah, because 376 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: that just has a huge effect on the entire offense, 377 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, in the offensive line. So basically John gave up, 378 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: Let's wait and see once he gets back on the field. 379 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: Let's wait and see. Because which is we've seen this 380 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: happen once exactly, and which is just an honest that's 381 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: just the honest truth. Um. But Ronnie knows. Ronnie knows 382 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: after he's missed a year and a half now that 383 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: he's got to get on the field. It's it's time 384 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: to you know, he wants to do it because of 385 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: the competitor he is and all that stuff. But like 386 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: if he were to have another setback or something, that 387 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: would be really bad for him personally as well as 388 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: the team. Yeah. And the other thing too, with the 389 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: injury updates from from John, he did not say, you know, 390 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: so and so has had a setback, you know, or 391 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: so and so's injury is not, you know, progressing to 392 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: the level that we had hoped, you know, like last 393 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: year at this time. I believe it is like Nick 394 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: Boyle is like, well, he's you know, it's coming along 395 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: a little slower than expected. Um, and so you didn't 396 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: hear any of that, which is a good sign. Well, 397 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: j K Dobbins is something good about him too. You know, 398 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: j K is already pastoring John to get back on 399 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: the field right now, right, And so that's an indication 400 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: that j K feels like he's moving really well and 401 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: physically feeling good. It's also an indication that he's just 402 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: a competitor who just wants to be out there and 403 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: he just loves playing football, which we all know about 404 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: j K. But you know, that's a good sign. I 405 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: think that we could see some j K and training 406 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: camp at some point in training camp. I'm not saying 407 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna be there day one. I don't know, but um, 408 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: I think that it makes me feel good about his 409 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: chances for week one. Yeah, totally, um, you know, and 410 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: then it turns us some other stuff that really stood 411 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: out to me, Like we can run through some of 412 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: the guys who I thought had you know, good offseason work. Um, 413 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: I really do like the rookie corners. I like both 414 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: of them. I like ja in Armor, Davis and Peppe. 415 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: Well you know how I feel. Well, you know you're 416 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: a big fan you're fully on board. I'm on board. 417 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm driving that train you are. I like. I like 418 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: both those guys. I don't like him too. I like 419 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: Jail and also, yeah, I like I like both those guys. 420 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: They stood out. I mentioned Isaiah likely had a great practice, 421 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: you know, I think that he's been pretty good. And 422 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: then he ended with the bang. You know, it's a 423 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: good way to go out, like go off, you know, 424 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 1: have a huge day on your last day is a 425 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: nice way to conclude the office taste in the mouth. Oh, absolutely, 426 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: Like I think that everyone's gonna be like, oh, remember 427 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: what Isaiah Loft he did that last day of minicamp, 428 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: Like he had a great day. So I think that 429 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: bodes well. Another guy that I'll give you who I 430 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: thought impressed me was Tyler Batty. Yeah, he's got nice 431 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 1: hands out of the backfield. I think he'll be a 432 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: good scat back, be used on third downs, give this 433 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: team something that they have been looking for. And I 434 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: think I like that ability from him. Yeah, I mean 435 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: it's I think it's gonna be an interesting competition between 436 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: he Mike Davis and between Justice Hill too, right, Justice Hill. 437 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: I think that's a really tight competition. Because to me, 438 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: Justice Hill is a little quicker than Tyler Baby, Like 439 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: if you're talking scat back the term, if we're using 440 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: the term that you just threw out there, Justice Hill 441 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: seems more of a scat back to me than Tyler 442 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: Baby does. Like I think he's just faster, quicker feet, 443 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: all that stuff, a little more twitchy than Baby is. 444 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: Baby's got great hands, he does um and I think, 445 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: but he's to me more of an all around back, 446 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: you know, like you can run between tackles all that stuff. Like, 447 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: he's not a scat back to me, I think he's 448 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: a running back you can catch um, Whereas I don't 449 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: really see Justice Hill as like a guy that you 450 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: would hand the ball off to ten to fifteen times. Um. 451 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: So Mike Davis is kind of in the more in 452 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: the Baby camp. I would say, yeah, I don't necessarily 453 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: know that any of those guys Batty or Justice Hiller 454 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: getting Tanda team carries oh no this year in this offense, 455 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: certainly not. And that to me, that's why I kind 456 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: of look at well, if if j K and and 457 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: Gus are healthy, then to me, somebody like a Justice 458 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Hill or maybe a Mike Davis make a little bit 459 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: more sense of the third running back because they offer 460 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: something different in a way. I think Tyler Batty is 461 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: a little bit more like a j K right like like, 462 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: I just think a baby's ability to catch the ball 463 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: out of the backfield is the different piece that you're 464 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: talking about. And I think he's a great insurance if 465 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: those guys aren't necessarily healthy, you know, now, Mike Davis, 466 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good competition. I think that's 467 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: that's a really good competition. It's gonna be interesting to 468 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: see how that one shakes out. And I think part 469 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: I think the health of j K and Gus in 470 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: that totally. So who stood out to you? Who are 471 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: some guys that caught your eye? Of course? You know 472 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: my other man crush Dale. That's because you know, if 473 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: you haven't listened to the pod, asked with them to 474 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: listen to it. Yeah, great podcast. Um yeah, I mean 475 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: he continued to show up for me, comes drops in 476 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: the coverage, gets a pick on Lamar Jackson early and 477 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice. Yeah, that was a very nice play. That 478 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: was a great play. Uh. The other one my favorite though, 479 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: one of my favorite moments I think for Minnicamp was 480 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: when Daleen Hayes jumped offsides and then the offense just 481 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: started giving him, giving him a hard time. Oh give 482 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: me another one. There they're just you know, and Dalen 483 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: is not saying anything. He's just kind of you know, 484 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: he's accepting it. He did it, you know, and he's 485 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: not he's not triping back at him. Then the next play, Oh, 486 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: he gave it everything he's got. Oh that he was 487 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: like he was playing the super Bowl on that round 488 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: and he just busted around the edge, got around Juan 489 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: James and he probably wouldn't have gotten a sack. You 490 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: would have got a quarterback hit though, And then he 491 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: just starts yelling at the offense. How do you like that? Oh? 492 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: You sorry? You know, and like he went all and 493 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 1: uh and I just I liked the dog man. I 494 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: like that because you think of the there dame guy 495 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: in the community, you know, servant and all that stuff, 496 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: and you just like, he's not just a nice guy exactly. 497 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: He's got some dog in there, like he said, he 498 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: told us he did. Yeah, and you saw it right there. 499 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: And I the guy just continues to impress me on 500 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: the field. I'm not gonna lie. I I still think 501 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: that they will add another pass rusher to this Russer. 502 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: But Dale and Hayes to me, has earned the opportunity 503 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: certainly going into the training camp. Like he said, he 504 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: you segment it all right, So he had a good O. 505 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: T A s had a good mining camp. I gotta 506 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: have a good training camp. But I think that he's 507 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: on the path to getting some some decent snaps in 508 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: this in this defense especially give you know, given how 509 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,239 Speaker 1: quickly ties By Bowser can come back. Yeah, I'm with you. 510 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: I also think another encouraging thing, I'll give you one 511 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: other kind of a position group as a whole, but 512 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: at offensive tackle. So you know, Juwan James was a 513 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: guy that we talked about, you know, as a potential 514 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: last year, is going to get on the field and 515 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: all that. You know, we we were able to see 516 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: him on the field the past few weeks, which nobody 517 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: had really seen outside of some practices late in the 518 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: season and he wasn't really doing much of anything. So 519 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: now you get to see him and he's working with 520 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: the first team offense, and you know, he's getting reps 521 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: of left tackle and with Ronnie Stanley night out there, 522 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, like so they think they're getting 523 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: a look at him. They're getting a good look at him, um, 524 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: to see how he's doing coming back from the torn achilles. 525 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: That's a good sign. Like I like the tackle depth 526 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: that they have, assuming that Ronnie Stanley is ready to go, 527 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: you change your team because I think when John James 528 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: wasn't out there for O t s, you were starting 529 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: to say, is this guy gonna be on the roster. Well, 530 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: now you start and all that stuff, and you're like, well, 531 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: do they have too much tackle? Well that's kind of questions. Yeah, 532 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: well we learned last year the answer is certainly no. 533 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: But they do have a lot of tackle death because 534 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: you look at it like Tyree Philip is a tackle guard. 535 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: You have j Wan James, you have Styes. But we 536 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: said on this podcast, let Tyree play guard. Let him 537 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: play guard. I don't want to hear well, Tyree could 538 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: kick out the tackle, sure he could, but you don't 539 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: want that. Yeah, I think I like Tyree guard. Now 540 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: I like him a guards and McCarry can play tackle. 541 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: He can, he can play right, he can play tackle, 542 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: You can play all five positions. He could play punter, really, 543 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: running back. Now I'm intrigued. Um, Yeah, I think John 544 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: James went out there and it was an important mini 545 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: camp for him to prove that, like I'm gonna play 546 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: football again. Yeah, it had been a while, right, He 547 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: got hurt early in what was a COVID opt out year, 548 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: and then last year popped his achilles early in the 549 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: off season, and the Ravens picked him up as kind 550 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: of a sign and stashlet to be honest, Yeah, it 551 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: was like they were they were crossing their fingers that 552 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: maybe he could come back and offer something late in 553 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: the year. But that was a stash And and then 554 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: they signed filling Away with to what was essentially a 555 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: one year deal. Yeah, and so as like the band 556 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: aid and so now he's ready, and it was good 557 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: to see him come go out there and compete for 558 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: three days straight, I think, honestly, Like, I think it 559 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: was encouraging in terms of whether he's ready. I think 560 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: we'll find out training camp. Like, I think that's the 561 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: thing with a guy coming back from a torn achilles 562 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: who hasn't played in a while, You got you gotta 563 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: see like eased into action. Like it wasn't like I 564 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: just want to see with the pass on. I want 565 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: to see him in a padded practice. Jown James gonna 566 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: be on the team, and and file I think you 567 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: know one thing I think that we saw during mini camp, 568 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: I mean conditioning. He's still working on his condition John 569 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: Harball talked about it. He was struggling to get through 570 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: the end of these practice and it was hot. It 571 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: was hot out there, but it's gonna get hotter in 572 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: training camp. And I am I am quite confident that 573 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: is going to get some instructions on uh what kind 574 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: of training he should be doing between now and training camp. 575 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be I mean, that's just everybody 576 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: knew that. That was part of the scouting report drafting 577 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: this huge guy was that you know, conditioning was going 578 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: to be a question, and so he's got that to 579 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: work on, you know, along with being young to the 580 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: game and all that stuff. Like you know, I think 581 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: that we've compared him to Orlando Brown a lot and Orlando, 582 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: but Orlando I think was a little bit more polished 583 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: when he came into the NFL and had a little 584 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: bit more of that pedigree um and turned out to 585 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: be a starter, not immediately still, but early issue in 586 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: his rookie season. I think Filele especially given the tackle 587 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: depth that the Ravens have right now, is not in 588 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: a position where he's gonna be forced into becoming a 589 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: starter as a rookie. Yeah, I just like, I mean, 590 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: the Orlando Brown comparison was always easy on Filele just 591 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: because of the size, you know, with around pick, But 592 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: like I did always kind of feel like it was 593 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: a little unfair. Orlando Brown was an All American left 594 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: tackle at Oklahoma. He was a big time recruit. File 595 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: was a guy who came started playing football late. Well 596 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: he was a big recure too, but yeah, but he 597 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: started playing. He went to Minnesota. He wasn't an All 598 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: American like Orlando Brown, was a major like prospect who 599 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: fell in the third round after a terrible combine. Filele 600 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: was like a late bloomer who came into like hadn't played. Also, 601 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: Orlando obviously had. You know, his dad was great in 602 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: the NFL all that stuff. So like, I always felt 603 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: like the comparison was a little bit unfair. And I 604 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: think it's gonna take who were making the comparison that 605 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: you pull off the tape, Where where's the producer? I 606 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: thought you were the one leading that church who were 607 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: making I wish you people could see this, and I 608 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: think that, like I do think that like this again, 609 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: training camp is going to be interesting to see how 610 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: a guy like Filele just handles like the grind of 611 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: it's a grind. Yeah, he's I think he's got to 612 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: get in better shape between now and then. And I'm 613 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: not like whatever, it's tough. I'm not like dogging the 614 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: guy at all, but I'm just saying, like, yeah, that'll 615 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: be the mission. Uh. One position we haven't talked about here, Garrett, 616 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: and I want to get your take on his whatde 617 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: receiver that has been the much buzzed about group. Do 618 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: you think the wide receivers what did the wide receivers 619 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: show to you, Garrett? I thought Bateman had a really 620 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: good week. He had a long touchdown on Wednesday. I 621 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: thought he had I thought Bateman had a really solid week. 622 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: Um Parchet has had some nice catches over the course 623 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: of of the off season. I haven't seen him like 624 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: he had one really nice catch for a long touchdown. 625 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: I think it was on Tuesday. Yeah, that was a 626 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: really nice play. So look, I think that I think 627 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: the receivers have have done enough to feel like like, 628 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: I think the receivers have done enough to say, like 629 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: there's talent in this group, but I still would not 630 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: like rule out the possibility of adding somebody to that mix. 631 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: It's kind of similar like you're talking with Pass Rusher, 632 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: except there's been some smoking. There's been some smoke with 633 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: that with reported tryouts and whatnot. Well, there was workouts, 634 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: not tryouts workouts. There was reported smoke that the Rains 635 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: were interested in Jarvis Lantry where they I don't know, 636 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: but so like there's been smoke there too. I'm both, 637 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm both, that's true, that's true. Um, yeah, I don't 638 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: think they're going to sign a wide receiver. I don't 639 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: think they're gonna add to it. I think they're gonna 640 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: roll with this group. Yeah, I just do. Uh that 641 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: would I like? I like how tight knit that group is, 642 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: Like they seem like they have a good thing going 643 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: in that room. They definitely have a chip on their shoulder. Uh. 644 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: I just I just feel like they're going to roll 645 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: with this group and uh and kind of see how 646 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: it works out. And and then you know, an undrafted 647 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: guy or maybe two you know, could stick, um, you know, 648 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: and that's always barring injury or whatnot. But I think 649 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: that they have like a good cohesion going on. And honestly, 650 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: if they were to sign somebody at this point, you 651 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: know they would take it some sort of way. Yeah, 652 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: that would change the dynamic. Yeah. I think that they 653 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: are out to prove and and Eric Coss is gonna 654 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: make whatever decision he thinks it's best for a team. Right. 655 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: But I think that like the bond and chemistry and 656 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: with the mojo they have working in that room, like 657 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 1: is a factor to think about. Um, if they were 658 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: to add somebody else in there, well, they're there. I mean, 659 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: James Brochet talked about when we had him on the podcast, 660 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: like they definitely kind of have it us against the 661 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: world mentality this year. T Martin when he was on 662 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: podium this week, the wide receivers coach, talked about that, like, hey, 663 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: the organization didn't draft any receivers, like they're putting it 664 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: on you, and so the players are well aware of that. 665 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: The coaches are aware of that, UM, and I could, 666 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: like as much as I say I could see them, 667 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: I could honestly see it going either way, like I 668 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: do not. I do not think that it would surprise 669 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: me at all if there's no receiver added before can 670 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: for all the reasons that you're mentioning. Yeah, I think 671 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: Prochet to me is like he's gonna you know, the 672 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: big plays is not gonna be what Prochet does. He's 673 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: a chain mover like he's like a shorthanded good you know, 674 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: crafty kind of route runner, like make tough catches and traffic, 675 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, take hits. Just like a gritty, hard work 676 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: and tough competitive dude. He is the Jarvis Landry of 677 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, let's be honest, you know. Like and 678 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: so to me, kind of Douray is kind of the 679 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: big question. To me, I think Bateman has all the 680 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: potential in the world. I think he's gonna have a 681 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: great season. I think he showed that here in Mini camp. 682 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: Like Bateman is great, do Rene like did not make 683 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: a ton of plays, I would say in mini camp. Um, 684 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, and and I think that he needs to 685 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: show that that speed he can he can really stretch 686 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: the field with that speed, because obviously that's what they 687 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: lost with Bateman. He has to speed to do it, 688 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: you know. And um, we've seen him impact the game 689 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: with his speed in a number of ways, including in 690 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: special teams. But you know that is I think one 691 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: person that I would point to and say, and I 692 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in dude. I, as I've 693 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: said a million times, I want that guy to get 694 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: the ball more because every time he touches the ball 695 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: is great things happen. But he's got to make sure 696 00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: he gets open so he can get a lot of touches. 697 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: Right Like at the end of the day, sometimes you say, 698 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: keep getting that guy's ball, Get that guy the ball more. 699 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: He's gotta get open to get the ball, you know, 700 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: and that's his his task. I agree. I guess I 701 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: would say I'm gonna go they signed somebody six they don't. 702 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: And part of the thing too is just like I'm 703 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: not going I think it's I think there's death. You know, 704 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: that's that's part of the calculation that Eric, they want 705 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: to have an injury, they would be in a tough 706 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: spot exactly so that they'll that will have to factor in. 707 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: You know what is that? What does the value put 708 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: place on that? We'll have to wait and see. So, um, 709 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: we have a few fan questions, right, uh, yeah, we do, 710 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: we do. Let me pull them up. Hold on a second, 711 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Question for you this one 712 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: comes from our guy Patrick Coon, who's who's emailed us 713 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of times. Thank you Patrick for being a 714 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: loyal listener and emailer, he says, checking in from Milan, 715 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: Italy during a little European business trip. Patrick, that's pretty nice. 716 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: We want to switched job. Come on, Patrick, you can 717 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: come out here to minicamp. I know that would be 718 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people's dream I'll get them a lot. 719 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm a fashion of guy fashion e stuff. You are 720 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: not at all. You're the furthest thing from a fashion stuff. 721 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: I can't believe I just used the word. Uh, he said. 722 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: Just wanted to say thanks for the great content while 723 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,479 Speaker 1: Bealey country, Um, he says, questions for you, how's Lamar 724 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: looking In the media reports I've seen and read? He 725 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: looks bigger and stronger. What's your take on that and 726 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: his mindsets? Mindset? Since he returns to the Castle from 727 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: Uny camp, We've already covered them. It looks great. Number two. 728 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: I've seen a few names mentioned in social media veterans 729 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: to help in the pass rush. I like our young 730 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: guys a lot, but curious to who, if anyone, you 731 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: think the Ravens might get to help out in the 732 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: near term, Houston, JPP, Robert Quinn. Yeah, I think Houston 733 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: or JPP would be the logical names. I mean, JPP 734 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: reportedly visited. They obviously had Justin Houston on the team 735 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: last year. I could see either of those guys getting signed, right, 736 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 1: this is the old keep the phone close by. Yeah, 737 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: And both of these guys are veterans. They may want 738 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: to be waiting. Like like the fact that they haven't 739 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: signed either of them, I don't necessarily know it means anything. 740 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: Like Justice Houston signed in the middle training camp last year, 741 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: he could make that decision again this year. He could also, 742 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: Like those guys may say like, let me just see 743 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: what happens early in training game and if anybody gets 744 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: hurt and that an offer comes in, that you know, 745 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: blows something out of the water. So I can see 746 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: them making a move there. Okay. His last question is 747 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: who do you think are the veteran players on the 748 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: bubble that have something to prove this summer in order 749 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: to make the final fifty three. Well, I think the 750 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: offensive line is just the interesting one there. So, like 751 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: I was mentioning, like the tackle depth that they have, 752 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: So I think that that offensive line, like you know, 753 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: look at left guard, So Tyry Phillips, Ben Cleveland, Ben 754 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: Powers competing for spots there, Patrick McCarry potentially competing for 755 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: that spot there. So you know, like if Tyree Phillips 756 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: wins that job, are you keeping Ben Cleveland and Ben 757 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: Powers when you already have When you already have McCarry 758 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: gives you more flexibility on the offensive line to carry 759 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: maybe one fewer offensive linement. And we already got done 760 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: talking about the tackle depth. So you're you have to 761 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: keep four tackles, Ronnie, Well, you probably have to keep 762 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: four tackles, right, Ronnie Morgan, Moses. We already talked about 763 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: Juan James and play is making the team. Obviously that's four, right, 764 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: and then you have the verse, the versatile guys, the 765 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: McCarry's and Tarry phillips. Right. See, then you have obviously Zeitler, 766 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: you have obviously Lindar Bomb McCarry, Uh Phillips. That's another four. 767 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: Now we're up to eight in Sonario Powers in Cleveland, right, 768 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: and you typically keep eight nine you know, offensive alignment. 769 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: So I think that that's the spot. You know, the 770 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 1: Ravens last year, UH made a trade for Ben Breticent. 771 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: They traded Ben Breticent fo. Yeah, they traded Ben Breticon 772 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: who was a fourth round pick. They made a move 773 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: for him in training camp. Would that be the case 774 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: with one of those guys. I don't know, but I 775 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: think that the offensive line. Now guys get hurt, things 776 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: could change. But like so, I think the offensive their 777 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: offensive line would be the position I would want to 778 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: I would also, you know, running back was one that 779 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: we already talked about. I think that's gonna be a 780 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: tight competition, tight end. I mean you look at somebody 781 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: like a Josh Oliver who had a good mini camp yea, 782 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: and John Harball said he had good O T s 783 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: as well. You know, it ended Thursday's practice, had big 784 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: boy catch maybe the play of the day. You know, 785 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: sometimes I get stuck looking at Josh Oliver and I'm like, 786 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: are you the next Darren Waller? Are you the next 787 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: Darren Waller? You know, sometimes you look at him and 788 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: you're just basically he's got all the traits physically, Yeah, 789 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean you and you're just like, I don't want 790 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: to let that happen. So yeah, I kind of get 791 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: stuck there, um and then I think, you know, defensive tackle, 792 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: you always have like some good young players like Aaron Crawford, 793 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: you know, and Isaiah mac I like Isaiah mac Um, 794 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: you know. So they have a lot of players that 795 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 1: they need sort of through so it'll be interesting. Yeah, yeah, 796 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: for sure. Anyway, thanks for listening. We are gonna take 797 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: a little a little R and R not much, but 798 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,959 Speaker 1: we have Monday off, but we'll be right back here. 799 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: You know, this is the time of the year where 800 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: some people take some vacation around the NFL. It's kind 801 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: of when the NFL shuts down. But we'll still be 802 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 1: here grinders, we will be grinding.

Can get a rookie on the pot yep 806 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: and then also maybe some external people before training camp. 807 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 1: So thank you for listening.
