But 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: before we get into that, we put out a call 21 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: for audio submissions and we got some good ones. Thousands, 22 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: thousands of US tens of thousands of questions rolled in. 23 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: I actually just got out of a meeting with I 24 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: T because I was asking for them to increase the 25 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: storage space in our email. There are so many questions. Um, 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: people want those training camp passes. People do want them, 27 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: and uh, we're gonna do you know, we said we 28 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: were gonna give away one set, but we got two 29 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: good questions here that I think are worthy here for 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna give away to Let's start with this question 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: from Andrew Vogel, Ryan and Garrett. This is Andrew Vogel. 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm a devout lounge podcast listener, as a die hard 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Ravens fans stuck in North Carolina at Fort Bragg, the 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: center of the Army universe, and I just have to ask, 35 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: since you've been wanting audio submission questions, I'm gonna take 36 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: leave this fall and come see a bunch of Ravens games. 37 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: But I gotta know which, in your opinion, which game 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: should I come see in order to see a big 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: Ravens win. Well, that's a big question, Andrew. Um gosh, 40 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: I missed doing that. Oh I can't wait. Yeah, well 41 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: you just did it well. But this year, you know, 42 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: after I listen to this question, I was like tinkering 43 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: around with some new ones too. I think this year 44 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get weird. I'm gonna get real weird on 45 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: the big call. See that's where you go wrong. We're 46 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: gonna answer. We're gonna answer answer Andrew's question in a minute. 47 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: But this is where it's like you did you tink here? 48 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: You over you, overthink you, you take fresh. If you 49 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: have something that works, don't adjust it. Really, you don't 50 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: change Grandma's apple pie recipe. Right, you want that? Nobody 51 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: asked exactly. So if you're if you were to come 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: up for one game, that would it be? I would 53 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: probably say Cardinals, the home opener, that would be your one. Okay, 54 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: what about what about that Patriots game? I mean Patriots? 55 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: And he's asking for a definite, big win question. It's 56 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: a lot to come by saying cards is definite. But 57 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: I feel better about the Ravens chances against Arizona other 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: than New England. The New England game is gonna be awesome. Yeah, 59 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: that would be a great game to come to. But 60 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: if you're coming and you say, I want to definitely 61 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: see a Ravens win. I think your chances are probably 62 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: best with Arizona, and it's the season opener season A 63 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: lot of season openers always well. I like when you 64 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: open the season Week one at home. That is obviously 65 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: opening the season on the road in Miami this week 66 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: or this year, but the home opener is just an 67 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: awesome atmosphere. The entire city gets into it. There's so 68 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: much energy, like in the stadium and around. I'll tell 69 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: you what, That Cleveland game is going to be a 70 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: fun game, Tom. I would point to that only because 71 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: there's been so much talk about them, and I like 72 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: the way the Ravens schedule sets up early and if 73 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: they can get that game, I can't see them having 74 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: anything but a good or great September. Yeah, they could 75 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: possibly be four. No, that means to win on the 76 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: road in Kansas City, possibly, sure, possibly, definitely possibly. That's 77 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna be tricky. But even if they lose that game 78 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: I just wanted last year. Yeah, coming back and then 79 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: beating the Browns that lost to me doesn't hurt, whereas 80 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: obviously losing that game, and after all the talk about 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: with hearing Cleveland Cleveland Cleveland all summer, then you lose 82 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: to them at home. Well, I think if you go, 83 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: if you're getting ready to go to Pittsburgh on October six, 84 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and you're going into that game with a three and 85 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: one record. In September, you beat Miami Arizona and either 86 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: casey you're Cleveland, you're feeling pretty good. Wow, that's a 87 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: pretty tough stretch there. When you go weeks three, Casey, 88 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland Steelers. Yeah, then Cincinnati, now Cincnati is home since 89 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: he's not expected to be quite as good this year, 90 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: but that's not always a solid team always, and then 91 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: at Seattle. Yeah, yeah, three seven is a tough tough 92 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: stretch there. Um. But the other part of that too, 93 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: not to get you know, too far down the line 94 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: of of predicting the entire season schedule here, but if 95 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: you hand the Browns a loss there, I think that 96 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: they're a team since there's so much hype and so 97 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: much optimism around them, that if they take a couple 98 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: of early losses, they're not necessarily going to know how 99 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: to rebound from that and then get back on track 100 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: to be a team that wins a bunch of games. 101 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: So if you it's like a. It's a two fur 102 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: right there. You get to win and then you can 103 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: knock them back up. How about that sports illustrator writer 104 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Connor Or who predicted a five and eleven record for 105 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens. I don't agree. I don't agree with that. 106 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: That's terrible just to do with that, just terrible reasoning 107 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing, just that. Yeah, I don't agree with that. 108 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: I niced to put the top of the bullet and 109 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: board right now exactly. The Ravens are getting some good 110 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: bullet material defensive regression five and eleven prediction. Of course, 111 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: all this stuff about Lamar some good bullet this year. 112 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: All right, so before we get into training camp, this 113 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: will be a nice segue into that. This is the 114 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: second audio question that we got. This is from Christian Kado. 115 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: Here's a question from Christian. Hey, Ryan and Garrett. I 116 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: love the show, been a listener for a few years now. 117 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: Um I I don't have any beers for you. Sorry 118 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: to say I'm only eighteen, but um I have been 119 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: keeping my eye on some undrafted rookies, guys like I 120 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: think Antoine Wesley and um Sean Motster. My question for 121 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: you is, uh, you know if I can get a 122 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: training camp pass. I would love to see the undrafted rookies. 123 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: And my question is, h who are under after rookies 124 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: that you are keeping your eye on and who do 125 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: you predict if there is one or two that will 126 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: make the team on offense or defense. Once again, love 127 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: the show, Um, I hope to win the little contents 128 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: you guys are doing. So no beer, you know, we 129 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: also asked we we try to kind of grease the 130 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: wheels a little bit and say, if you got some 131 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: beer that you want to send us, go ahead. But 132 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: when you're eighteen years old, I'm not advocating for that. 133 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: So I appreciated Christian, Um, dad can't get up. But 134 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: so what do you guys think who is an undrafted 135 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: rookie that could end up, you know, being on the team. 136 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Obviously he's excited about Antoine Wesley and Sean Monster. Um. 137 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: They they drew some buzz during the off season. What 138 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: do you think if I had to point to one person, 139 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: and with the best odds, I probably point to Gerald 140 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: Willis still just because they could use a little bit 141 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: more depth on the defensive line. They were clearly trying 142 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: to sign Gerald McCoy didn't happen. So they were figuring 143 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: that we could add a body here. Yeah. Um, And 144 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: so to me, Willis makes sense, especially given Michael Pierce's 145 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: situation right now. He could even be he needed even more. 146 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: Not that I think that's gonna be a long term problem, 147 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: but it's not good. We're gonna see at the beginning 148 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: of training camp. Um. But and you know, of course, 149 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: all the other stuff about Joe Willis that he's a 150 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: top you know, three rounds or four rounds, mid round 151 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: talent who you know didn't get drafted for a variety 152 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: of kind of off the field reasons. I think if 153 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: he can you know, fly this, stay the straight and narrow, 154 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: and perform well out there, then he can make a team. 155 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I would agree Willis should be the guy 156 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: that I would want to I know that Monster and 157 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: Wesley attracted some attention during the offseason program, and there 158 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: was some buzz about him. Cliff you know, was writing 159 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: about and trying to blow him up. Um um. But like, 160 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: I gotta see more from these guys to really feel like, oh, 161 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: that's the undrafted rookie. Because the receiver group, well, there's 162 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: not a ton of top end proving guys at this point, 163 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: outside of Willie's needing and Chris Moore, there's a ton 164 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: of players there. I don't there's young draft picks that well, 165 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: that's what I mean. I mean you'd have to have 166 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: an undrafted guy beat out a Jordan Lastly and or 167 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: Jalil Scott who are fourth and fifth round picks, slash 168 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: or as Sas Roberts, who's a veteran who is signed, 169 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: who immediately after you got cut you scooped them up. 170 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: So I just think that it's a steeper climb for 171 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: those guys to make the team then a year willis Yeah, 172 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: I would agree, alright. So with all that said, thanks 173 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: for the questions, keep them coming as always at the 174 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. But we want 175 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: to jump into our full blown training camp preview because 176 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are excited, judging by 177 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: how they scooped up those tickets. Yes to practice. People 178 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: are jacked up about this train camp and and there's 179 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: a lot of good storylines in this training camp. So 180 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: let's starry there with who are you most excited to see? 181 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: If you have to pick one player you're most excited 182 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: to see during training camp, who is it me and 183 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: b Marquise Brown. I mean, he was such a dynamic 184 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: player in college. I think you could be so important 185 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: to this offense. I just want to see how everything 186 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: translates to the NFL level, his sides, his speed, um, 187 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: and how much of an impact can he have. Like 188 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson last year, when you heard other players talk 189 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: about how fast he was, that to me was an indication, Okay, 190 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: this guy is not the norm, that he's something special. 191 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: I love to hear those same comments about Marquise. You 192 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: know how fast he is, how quickly he changed the direction. 193 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: You see it on tape. But he wasn't going against 194 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: the guys he'll be going against, particularly with the Ravens corners. 195 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: He's going to be tested really from start to finish 196 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: during training camp, which I think it's good for him. 197 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: But that's a guy I really want to see. Yeah, 198 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: I would agree. I mean he's the shiny new toy 199 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: that we haven't seen yet. Well that's that's the other 200 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: thing too. Like everyone else, for the most part, you've 201 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: seen either from last year and then all the rookies 202 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: you saw during the off season program. So Marquis is 203 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: the one you haven't seen and he's the first round pick, 204 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: so I think he's the easy one on the other 205 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I'm really excited to see Earl Thomas. 206 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: Like we saw what he could do during the offseason workouts, 207 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: but I think draining camp he was not playing a 208 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: ton during those O t A s like he was 209 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: he had worked his way back from the leg injury. 210 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm just eager to see how he looks and with 211 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: that group, um communication wise, is he making plays like 212 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens got him. I think because they expected him 213 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: to be a playmaker on the back end of that defense. 214 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: I hope to see some picks doing training camp, So 215 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm fired up to see him. I'm excited for Jermaine 216 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: and Luminore. I'm just drinking, you know what, Jermaine, Sorry, Jermaine, 217 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: I was just going for that. I was like trying 218 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: to think, likefensive line. Oh yeah, I can't wait to 219 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: see those the center and out. You know. You know 220 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: what's funny, I almost did say offensive line because you 221 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: know that I've been saying it's not you know, I've 222 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: been saying all along that I'm I'm a little bit 223 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: nervous about that group. There wasn't much done, so I 224 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: almost went that direction, But it's the words exciting. I'm intrigued. 225 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: You know who I'm excited about seeing in training camp, 226 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: Mark Juice, because I think Mark Andrews was a dog 227 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: during it is a mini camp, and I look forward 228 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: to more dog in in training camp. I think this 229 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: dude is gonna show us in training camp that he 230 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: is poised to be a big time player, not only 231 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: in this offense, but in the NFL and all my fantasy. 232 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: Do you expect him to be the leading receiver as 233 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: the tight end more ahead of Hayden Hurst. I mean, 234 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: I think hay and Hurst is going to have a 235 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: better year this year, Yes, but I expect that Mark 236 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: Andrews will end up with more catches for more yards 237 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: and more touchdowns. I do and think about you know, 238 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: now we're talking about Mark. I've heard that comment before, 239 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: being one of the better tight ends and emerging tight 240 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: end in this league. Imagine that happens when you look 241 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: at the Ravens draft from last year. Just keeps getting better, 242 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: Lamar Orlando, Mark, I mean, think about Kenny Young takes 243 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: a starting spot or a big spot at least at 244 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: incin Linebaker, right. I mean, if all of Ozzy's drafts 245 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: is final, one could rank with, you know, among his best. 246 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: If these I'm not gonna put up against nineties yet, 247 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: but but I am. Hayden Hurst is interesting that I'm 248 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: kind of excited because because we didn't see the full 249 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: hayden Hurst, we didn't get a full hayden Hurst experience 250 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: last year. But at this time last year in training, 251 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: can't remember, everybody was buzzing about this guy and he 252 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: looks great. He actually during those practices against the Rams, 253 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: he was like one of the best offensive players. If 254 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 1: you remember during those practices against Rams and everyone was like, 255 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be sud He was like all yeah, 256 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: he was talking trash like key to even guys like that. 257 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: I mean, it was good. Um, I got very excited 258 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: for Hayden right. So, like, as much as I agree 259 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: with you on Mark that if I was, if I 260 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: was handicapping it right now, it certainly seems like he's 261 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna lead the way with receiving in 262 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: tight end. But hayden Hurst is motivated to prove that 263 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: he is better than he was last year, and we're 264 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: going a chance to see that all right, Best battles, 265 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: Which position battles are you most intrigued by? Well? Here, 266 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: how many are there? There's not many. Let's guard, inside linebacker, 267 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, outside linebacker, opposite ju Done. I would say 268 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: there's competition on the D line for who's going to 269 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: get the share there. I don't think the starter matters 270 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: all that much because they just rotate so many people 271 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: on defensive line. But Brent Urban's gone. He was a 272 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: sixteen game starter last year. He was so between Wormley, 273 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: Stealer and Henry How what's that rotation look like? Is 274 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: this your answer? D line? No? No, I'm most intrigued 275 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: by the outside linebackers. I think that you know, between 276 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: Tim Williams and Tias Bowser, which one of those third 277 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: year players is going to emerge and become the player 278 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: that we all thought they could be when they were 279 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: second and third round picks. Uh. Then you of course 280 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: have Shane Ray and Pernell McPhee to intriguing veterans. You 281 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: know my love for Pernell uh and and I've was 282 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: very impressed by what I saw from with Shane Ray 283 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: or from Shane Ray and O T. S. I think 284 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy and the risk looks like 285 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: it's good. He could be a big time impact player 286 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: for this team. Get back into that eight to ten 287 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: sack range that he's certainly capable of. Um, But right now, 288 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: it's anybody's game right there. To be honest, it's up 289 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: in the air as to who kind of claims that 290 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: that primary spot and who fits what. And Jalen Ferguson, right, 291 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: you have a very intriguing third round pick, uh that 292 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: you know it is the leading sack guy in college 293 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: football history. Uh So I'm very intrigued to see if 294 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: he can step up to the plate and be a 295 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: big player as a rookie. Yeah. I have to go 296 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: with that position as well. I mean, you consider left 297 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: guard obviously a legit competition for a starting spot, which 298 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: is important, but that's probably the most most important one 299 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: because that's like the most full time starter. It's also 300 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: been the most wide open a little bit right now, 301 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: I'll agree with that too, whoever wins that, right. It's 302 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: not a rotation, No, it's not a rotation. But I 303 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: just think the outside linebacker, because of the pass rush 304 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: and the importance of it, is the one I'm most 305 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: excited about. And how many guys are in the competition 306 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: to do that, and if the Ravens can't generate a 307 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: pass rush from the other side, obviously Juton, then I 308 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: think that could be a major problem. It is certainly 309 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna be something that Win Martindale is gonna have to 310 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: deal with. Now we're here and talk deservely so that 311 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: wing Martindale quickly is now regardless one of the best 312 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators in the game exactly. But to me, almost 313 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: anyone you talked it would say he's among the best, 314 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: for sure. But still, how will he be able to 315 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: juggle things if he's not getting a consistent pass rush 316 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: on quarterback? That's so important the Ravens, we know they 317 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: can cover. Usually their history is they always stopped the run. 318 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: But their history has also been that most seasons they 319 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: can get pressure on the quarterback. And if you can't 320 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: get pressure on the quarterback, no matter how well you cover, 321 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: to me, your defense takes a hit. So they have 322 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: so many guys at outside linebacker who have the potential 323 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: to step up, yet it's so important that at least 324 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: one or two of them do step up, and there's 325 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: question marks about all of them. There's things you can 326 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: look at and say, you know, you look at the 327 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: shame Ray what he did his first couple of seasons. 328 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, yeah, he definitely has the potential. But 329 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: then you look at the last couple of season in 330 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: Denver when he was hurt, he wasn't the same guy 331 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: for now. You know, is he gonna be the same 332 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: for now? That where you saw you know when you 333 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: see here before, or you know it's father time starting 334 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: to catch up with him. So that's the place where 335 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: I feel I'm most excited to see a couple of 336 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: guys step up on that. I kind of feel like 337 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens think that they can scheme pressure. I feel 338 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: like they feel that, of course you want great pass 339 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: pressure doesn't but I think that they feel like you're 340 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna get a bunch of sacks from defensive backs this year. 341 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: Things like that, like they can scheme pressure to I 342 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: think mask some of the losses maybe that they've had 343 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: in talent. You've brought up Wake Martindale, Wakes the guy 344 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: b and so like they're gonna get pressure. Like yeah, 345 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: I think I think the secondary is going to give 346 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: you a good enough to give the Ravens a good 347 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: chance to get pressure on quarterbacks just the secondary well, 348 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: by making quarterbacks hold the ball. If they can combine 349 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: winning one on one battles with their pass rushers, now 350 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you have a really good defense, right, Like, 351 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to get pressure just 352 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: by scheme and because of the DBS making quarterbacks hold it. 353 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: If those guys can win up front, now dangerous. Yeah. 354 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: I think that's the key round because if you can 355 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: win one on one, then the quarterback doesn't always know 356 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: where the pressure is gonna come from. When you the 357 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: more you have to scheme. Yeah, the guy with Philip 358 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers, you know my Homes, Brady Roethlisberger, those 359 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: type of guys, when you take chances, they are more 360 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: capable of burning. Yeah, it's still important to get it 361 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: the old fashioned way. Yeah, So going back to the 362 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: position battle, did you guys forget about receiver? Know? I 363 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: was gonna say that, Yeah, everybody's favorite position. Yeah, Like 364 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: that's the one that we know that Willie Sneed is 365 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: going to be a starter. But he's really a slot guy. 366 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean that's where he's gonna make his money. That's 367 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: where he makes his living. So who's the other starting receiver. 368 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I think if there was gonna go out 369 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: there and play a game today, would be Chris Moore Christmore. 370 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: I think it's definitely an outside starting wide receiver. All right, Okay, 371 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: so if you have two starting receivers at the start 372 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: of going into week one, do you think that would 373 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: be Chris Moore and Hollywood Brown or Chris Moore, really Sneed, 374 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: Reallywood Brown. Your top three, I think are Chris Moore, 375 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, and Willie Sneed. And Hollywood and Willie can 376 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: be interchangeable in the slot. I'm curious to see if 377 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: the Ravens feel like Hollywood they see enough from Hollywood 378 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: Brown over the course of training camp and the preseason 379 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: to feel like they can go into the start of 380 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: the season and he's the He's a clear starter, Like 381 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: he is. The hope there is that he's your best receiver. 382 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: That's what that you drafted the guy in the first 383 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: round and he's the first receiver off the board. The 384 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: hope is that he's the best receiver on the team. 385 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: And so like that's the competition that you're wanting to see, 386 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: is that this guy can go out there and prove 387 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: that he is he's Hollywood Baby. Who who goes out 388 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: there when it's too wide? That's that's what I was 389 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: asking that. I think I would think it would probably 390 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: be Willie Snead in Hollywood. Interesting that if if all 391 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: things go according to plan. Yeah, I really don't know. 392 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: And I think another component of this is Mark Andrews 393 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: can definitely split out wide and hate ye. You know, 394 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: those guys can be used as kind of like wide receivers. 395 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: Let's not forget Bobby Ingram, the former wide receivers coach, 396 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: is now that the Ravens tight ends coach. So I mean, 397 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: you could be in a situation where you've got three 398 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: tight ends on the field Nick Boyle, Mark Andrews, Hayden 399 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: Hurst and one or totally and then Mark Andrews and 400 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown as an EXAs the defense comes out of 401 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: that huddle thinking what do we do here? This is 402 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: it seems on the service like a definite run, but 403 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: it certainly might not be that us think absolutely all right, 404 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: So who uh? If you're ideing one player who has 405 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: the most at stake during training camp, like who, it 406 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: could go one way or the other. They could be off. 407 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: The fifty three is surprising off the fifty three or 408 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: or whatever they could earn a starting job. I'll say 409 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: Alex lewis uh someone who was a starting left guard 410 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: here for a couple of years. He's going into a 411 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: contract season. Um has dealt with injuries, but when he's 412 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: been on the field has been pretty good. But he 413 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to stay on the field. He could 414 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: be the starting left guard, like he shown before over 415 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: the course of his career that he can be good 416 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: enough to be in the starting lineup, but he's also 417 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,239 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to stay on the field. And if 418 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: he loses that coming off an injury, practiced at all 419 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,239 Speaker 1: during a minicamp, right, he's behind. Yeah, so does he 420 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: win that He's gonna be up against James Harrison, a 421 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: luminour ben powers for that starting left guard job. If 422 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: he loses that, see on the team for sure. When 423 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: we did our fifty three, I think both of us 424 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: had him off. I can't remember which. We've had a 425 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: lot of people off that should have been pretty shot, 426 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: but I think I think that was when you look 427 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: at the offensive line and like a guy like a 428 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: greg Sonata who can potential that would take knots upside 429 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: and say Alex, he hasn't been able to stay healthy 430 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: and we think it's gonna grow. You can take a 431 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: spot for so that's I might go with Tim Williams. 432 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: Another can pick out like I gotta really think. I 433 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: just stopped talking so I can think about my answer. Yeah, 434 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: for the overage reasons. I mean, he he has not 435 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: been the guy yet. The Ravens thought production wise as 436 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: as a sack artist that they were going to get 437 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people wanting to step up 438 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: filling that spot. There's a year where to me, he 439 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: has to show you know that he's on the rocks. 440 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: Um if he does, I think that, Yeah, there's every 441 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: reason to think that. Okay, this is a year that 442 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,239 Speaker 1: he turns it around. And in a year or two 443 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of pass rusgers. You didn't start 444 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: off like Gangbusters. We got to that level exactly. And 445 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: part of it my opportunity, and he was behind sugs 446 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: in scenarios absolutely, but now he's got the opportunity and 447 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: you gotta show that you're ready. He should have a 448 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: step up on a guy like say jail and first 449 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: and just from your experience knowing the system, Yeah, there's 450 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: there's no reason why this year shouldn't be the weird 451 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: year to Tim Williams, wild break out player. And if 452 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: he's not, then you have to wander. Okay, when they 453 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: look at the other options they have at that position, 454 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: when you're putting together the whole fifty man roster, does 455 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: he fit in anymore? Yeah, I mean Tyas Bowser could 456 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: be in the very same but same it's the same, 457 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: same story, same story for both remote name name. They're 458 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: gonna get their chance. You're a young, talented player. You 459 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: gotta step up and seize the opportunity. All Right, I 460 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: got my I had to stall there for a little bit, 461 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: just repeating what you said. So my pick is Kenneth Dixon. 462 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah. I mean here's a guy who I've 463 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: always liked as a player. I mean he runs hard, 464 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: great just body control, balance, power, a great blend of 465 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: a lot of things. So loose if Yeah, I just 466 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: really like him as a player. He's had his off 467 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: the field problems that have set him back. He's had 468 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: injury issues last year, he had some fumbling issues, particularly 469 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: even in the playoffs. That ain't good. Uh So, now 470 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: you he looks at a situation where Mark Ingram, Gus 471 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: Edwards and Justice Hill are seemingly locks. That's three and 472 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: are they going to keep a fourth? If they do 473 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: keep a fourth, could it be Tyler Irvin because of 474 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: his special teams, he might be the leading punt return 475 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: cadet right now. He has the most experience. So Kenneth 476 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: Dixon is right on that verge. I like him as 477 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: a player. I think he's talented, but he's got a 478 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: lot at stake. He could very well end up off 479 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: the fifty three if he doesn't perform well. Totally agree. 480 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of high ceiling potential, but going 481 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: into his third year, right, uh four four. At some 482 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: point there's there's potential and then there's missed opportunity and 483 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: you got to live up to your potential. And it's 484 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: part of that big time Lewis next thing, Chris Moore, Yeah, way, 485 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: maybe I can't remember the last one.

Practice 530 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: was out at Westminster and McDaniel and I'm like, Oh, 531 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. I gotta go right, So, 532 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: like I'm like asking my boss, like anything, Hey, anything 533 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: I can do.

I'm saying that I'm lucky. There weren't any 540 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: cops long in the pokey um and so I get there, 541 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: just left just everybody high five in each other. Oh Man, 542 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg was awesome. Took pictures with anybody who asked 543 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: cool this guy. So everybody comes back to work the 544 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: next day they all on their Facebook profile. Everybody's pictures 545 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: name was Snoop. Obviously you have got to be kidding. 546 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: He even had a little Snoops so cool. It was 547 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: a bright sunny day. He had a little butler guy 548 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: standing next to him in a full suit, hold on 549 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: broke at all times. So yeah, that was rough. My 550 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: other one, real quick favorite, also from McDaniel up in Westminster, 551 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: was winning a reporter who I shall leave nameless, got 552 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: booted out of the cafeteria because he was staking steaks. 553 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: He was taking steaks and you know, after the players 554 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: when he intera they let the reporters come in. Those 555 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: banji butts come in and just kind of like vultures 556 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: just picking the scraps. This this this one guy, he 557 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: took a step too far. He walked out. I swear 558 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: he must have five or six free boots freezer bags. 559 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god. The word spread that he was doing this. 560 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: He kept doing it, and eventually I heard about this 561 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: rhyme he's just out and people, Yeah, right, the only 562 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: thing I come up with his last year. At this time, 563 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: I was still working Indianapolis during training camp and got 564 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: the call from the Ravens about coming to work for them. 565 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: So it happened to be the time when they were 566 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: having joint practice with the Colt. So on Thursday I 567 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: worked at my last day covering the Colts for in 568 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: Annapolis Star, and then Friday I just walked to the 569 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: opposite sideline and started covering the Ravens Footballs dot Com. 570 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: And it was a little weird that first day with 571 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: the guys from the Colts, like what do you do? 572 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: All right? What are you doing? Like I got traded. 573 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, that was that was definitely a weird way 574 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: to start, but uh yeah it was. It's a it's 575 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: a nice memory. I'll never forget. Those practices were a 576 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: little dicey, if you remember Cliff first of all, poor 577 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: rain one day and then the second day it was 578 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: a melee, Right, it was a little dicey out there. 579 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: I don't gotta get great training camp story, but I 580 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: do have a similar basically your whole experience of Snoop Dogg. 581 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Same thing happened. Remember when Muhammad Ali was out here 582 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: and it was on a weekend and didn't come out here, 583 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: and then everyone was like, hey's close to the media 584 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: that every and then it finds out I come to 585 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: find out they were like, oh yeah, anyone could have 586 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: came out here on the weekend. I missed out on 587 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali exactly. Like I think Jack Harball is still 588 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: like his favorite memory of his life. I think he says, yeah, 589 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: something like that. Crazy. So so if there's any if 590 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg Ali and even we're coming to practice, we 591 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: better be kept loose.
