1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Like that is to me. One of the great mysteries

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: of the wide receiver conundrum here is you've got like

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: half the guys who haven't been practicing. How many Bobby

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Rainey's do you need? Yeah? That always that, that always

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: happens in the pre season to do it every year?

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Do you have too many players? Count him up? No,

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I taught him up. Welcome into the

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: lounge presented by our friends Draft Kings. If you're not

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: playing fantasy football, honestly, are you even a football? Uh?

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: We today are happy to be joined by Erica Colasta.

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: I'll play him. You'll play that role, I'll play that role.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: I'll be E d C. Every dollar counts for the day.

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: You can be Nick Matdio and Pat Moriarty. Okay, so

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm the head hunt show your reports me, um, and

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you the full fifty three man roster breakdown,

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: our projections, projections and and a couple of things. Here.

17
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: We we do our own making eye each do our own.

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: We don't do the same one, So we do our own.

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: And then we like to compete against each other and

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: see who wins. I win every year. So there's no

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: question there. The other thing is he joked about us

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: being the brain trust here. The truth is the brain

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: trust doesn't tell us, so they're going to take on

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: fifty three man rosters. So that's a disclaimer, no inside intel,

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: this is just intel from watching practice every day, Yeah,

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: watching practice, watching the preseason. And also we're recording this

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: before the final preseason game. Roster cut down day is Tuesday,

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: so this final preseason game could alter you know what

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: some of the projections and during could happen to player

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Michael Pierce, could happen where he blows up in the

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: last game. So basically we say all that to say

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: if we miss any that's why exactly we're already see

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: that's how you make projections. You build in excuses to

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: what ahead of time, pre build excuses to why you

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: got it wrong. And if if you want to play

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: along essentially with us, well you can do that by participating.

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: And are you picked the team competition, good to Baltimos

38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: dot com slash you picked the team, make your fifty

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: three man roster prediction. Whoever wins that contest, we'll get

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: a pair of tickets to the Chiefs game. So that's

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: a pretty sweet prize, and obviously, if you're smart what

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Garrett is not, you will just copy whatever I say. Okay,

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: So get your pen and paper out and start and

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: start writing this down. All right, let's jump right into it.

45
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: Just before we start, are you sure that you have three?

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: Because you just counted about four different times and had

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 1: a right before we started taping head across a couple

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: of guys off your list because you had what I

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: think I counted this correctly, okay, but we'll go back

50
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: and double check at the head. Alright. So, um, I

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: feel like we make this joke every year, Lamar Jackson,

52
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: you have him? Well you want to start? Let's let's

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: let's start with some easy stuff here. The specialists are

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna be Sam Cook, Justin Tucker, and Nick Moore the

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: long snapper. So that's three right there. All right, Jake

56
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Barty he still making the team. Justin Tucker said to

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: be shocked here. You sure you don't want to put

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: he said he'd be shocked if he didn't make another team.

59
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: He didn't say he'd he shocked him. He doesn't make

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: sure you don't want to put him on, I'll leave

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: him off. Do you think just as a really quick sidebar.

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Do you think the Rams will be able to trade

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: him for a pick? For a pick? Obviously it would

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: be for a pick, but yeah, I do not think

65
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen unfortunately. Okay, we cover some of that

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: and in the podcast. Uh, we just traded for somebody

67
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: from the Giants. So that's one. As we said, you

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: need multiple, multiple suitors. Ones off the table now. Alright,

69
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: so all right, we got three there. Let's start with offense,

70
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: um and we can run through the list pretty quickly. Receiver,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: how do you want to start with a quarterback? Get

72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: a start to the top, alright, quarterback Lamar Jackson and

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley? Do you have trades men sorely on the team?

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: I do not. I do not either. And and just

75
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: on that, you know last year the Ravens kept three

76
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for most of the season, with Robert Griffin the

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: third and Trace McSorley. Huntley was on the practice squad.

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: I think with Trace and the back injury, maybe he

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: gets released ends up on the practice squad. I mean

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: that's I think that Trace is still here this year,

81
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: and I think the practice squad would be the avenue

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: for that. I know there's some fans who feel like

83
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: if he gets released, another team could pick him up.

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: Always a possibility. That's the case with every single guy

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: who the Ravens could release. But I think that he's

86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, it's gonna happen. Yeah, I think

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: we've said this before. I think he's a better fit

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: for this offense, in this system, and I think they

89
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: give him a pretty good chance to land on the

90
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: practice squad here. Yes, agreed? All right? Running back J K. Dobbins,

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: gus the bus? Uh? Patrick Ricard? Do you want to

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: I mean he's full back, tight end, whatever room you

93
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: want to account theim in. He's making the team. And

94
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: then do you have Tyson Williams on the team or

95
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: do you have Justice Hill or named Craig? You have

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams? Really, Oh, you already made the first mistake.

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: You've already made the first I should have known you

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: sucking this? What you have? Justice Hill? Yes? Interesting? Well

99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: look so look here's my thing. And I think I

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: really like Tyson. I think he's good. But how many times?

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: How many times you have to be fooled by this?

102
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: The running back getting a bunch of carries, making some play?

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: How many Bobby Rainey's you need Yeah, that always that,

104
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: That always happens in the preseason every year. But well

105
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: sometimes like you get some good guys. Gus Edwards was

106
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: somebody who had a pretty strong preseason, turned out to

107
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: be a good player. He didn't make the fifty podn't

108
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: make the fifty three, turn out to be a pretty

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: good player. You're making my case. Here's the reason, and

110
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: this is Justice Hill hasn't been out there. I mean

111
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Justice Hill hasn't been practicing and hasn't been playing, so like,

112
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: what does his hell status he's dealt with injury issues.

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: It really hasn't been on the field for a good camp.

114
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: So you're gonna cut him. You're just gonna straight cut him.

115
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: Somebody will pick him up. Sure, yeah, you would have

116
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: you would cut him, you would you would cut him.

117
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: But I think that the Ravens see more. I think

118
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: a special teams value in him, which you've already you know,

119
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: you took a hit on special teams with l J. Fort.

120
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: He was one of the top gunners last year. Justice

121
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Hill was how many times you want to have dafe

122
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: o A actually running down there risk in a first

123
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: round picks health right, Justice Hill good gunner, offers more

124
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: than Tyson does on special teams, which we know these

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: last roster decisions. Special teams is a big factor. Plus,

126
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, I like the way Tyson has run

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: the ball, but I think Justice offers more variety to

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: the offense than Tyson does. Right, Like how Taysan is is,

129
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean he's kind of a hybrid

130
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: between uh JK and GUS a little bit. Justice is

131
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: more of that, you know, use them on the quick,

132
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, reverse. He's more of a scat back, right,

133
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: which Tyson is not. He's a bigger body guy at

134
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: six ft to twenty. You know, Justice Hill is a

135
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: scatback at and I think that they can find a

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: little a few wrinkles for him in this offense as

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: the third running back. All right, so you've got our

138
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: first disagreement right there. All right, let's go to wider

139
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: So wait, wait, hold on, are you doubting yourself? You

140
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: do wish you could have changed that right now? You

141
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: get the waight out. No, No, I'm not you wish

142
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: you had out here. Here's if Justice will have been

143
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: healthy over the course of the entire summer, then it

144
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: would be a different conversation happened. I'm not blaming the guy.

145
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that Tyson Williams has seized his opportunity

146
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: since Justice Hill has been hurt. All right, let's go

147
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: to wide receiver. And this is tough because you want

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: to talk about injuries, and this is also something we

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: should say here. I think that this year's roster is

150
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: one of the more complicated things to maneuver around because

151
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: you've got a handful of injuries for guys who are

152
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the team. Uh. And so, just so

153
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: people are aware of how the rule works, this year,

154
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: teams have an unlimited number of injured reserve spots. If

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: you go on injured reserve, you're out for three weeks

156
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: and then you can come back. The caveat there is

157
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: you have to be on the active roster when that

158
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster said everyone, So you gotta be

159
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: on the active roster then and then and then you

160
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: then they move you to this i R designation after that. Right,

161
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: So you could have a situation where guys are activated,

162
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: they go there on the active roster, and then they

163
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: go on to i R on September two. So that

164
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: is a potential for a handful of people. Okay, all right,

165
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: so that's just the and I think that that becomes

166
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: difficult when you're looking at wide receiver with a guy

167
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: like a Rashad Bateman. I think it's difficult at tight

168
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: end when you're looking at Nick Boyle. So let's just

169
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: start with a wide receiver. We got Sammy Watkins, Hollywood Brown,

170
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: Devin Duvernet, James Prochet, Thyland Wallace, Rossad Bateman, all on

171
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: the team. Okay, proche to me has done enough. He

172
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: entered on the bubble, but he's he's been the best

173
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: receiver in camp. Yes, he has are in the spot, yeah,

174
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: he has earned the spot. That right there is six. Okay.

175
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Then you got Myles Boykin, and then you have you know,

176
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: a handful of other guys. Deon Kane, j Len Moore,

177
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: what are you doing? This is my wild card? Oh

178
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: wild card, that's my wild card. Nobody's gonna see this

179
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: one coming. I have Dean Kane making the fifty three

180
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: man roster. Interesting. So Deon Kane is somebody who's been

181
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: slidelined for the past couple of weeks with an issue.

182
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: He returned to practice today. That was big practice bigge.

183
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: You saw enough from him out there practice today that

184
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: he said, I gotta keep this guy in the pitch. Three.

185
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: I thought he I thought he played well in offseason practices.

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Uh and o t as mini camp he looked good.

187
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: At the beginning of training camp, he looked good. I

188
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: think he could be a pretty good special teamer for

189
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: this team. And I think if somebody were to go down,

190
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, if Bateman, you know, being out obviously it

191
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: looks like for some stretch of games at the beginning

192
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: of season, who knows how long he's back, sometime in September. Uh,

193
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: Sammy were to go down, I think the Ravens would

194
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: prefer to to turn to Deon Kane at wide receiver.

195
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: In that situation, then they would to Miles Boykin. So

196
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: you have what just cutting boy kind put him on,

197
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: I cutting Baken. I think they'd like to trade him

198
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: if they could. But he's been he's been hurt. He's

199
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: been hurt since been hurt the second week and he's

200
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: been hurting. And and uh, I think that they know

201
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: what Miles Boykin is when he's been healthy. We've gotten

202
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: a very solid look at him the past two years.

203
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: Whereas Kane has been a guy who came into this

204
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: league with some buzz. I mean, he was a Colts

205
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: draft pick. They were very high on him, eventually cut

206
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: him he had injuries. Um, I think the Ravens were

207
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: happy to get Deon Kane, and I think they are

208
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: intrigued by his potential. We know what Boyken is, uh,

209
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: and you know if they feel like Deon Kane can

210
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: offer a lot on special teams like Boyken did. All right,

211
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: let's roll the dice and go with him. Right. So

212
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: part of the challenge here from yeah, part of the

213
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: chan on here for me is I don't know exactly

214
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: what the true health status is for a lot of

215
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: these receivers. All right, Actually, let me amend that on

216
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: boake In because I don't think it's a strange cut.

217
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: I actually think that they're just gonna stash him. It's

218
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: just gonna be a straight move to I R season

219
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: ending I R and he gets basically a red shirt season. Yeah,

220
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: it's not really a stash. I mean, the guy has

221
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: been hurt. And I think, as I keep saying like

222
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: that is to me, one of the great mysteries of

223
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: the wide receiver conundrum here is you've got like half

224
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: the guys who haven't been practicing, and I just don't

225
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: as we're doing this, like, we don't truly know the

226
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: status of them. So if Waken were to come back

227
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: to practice on Monday, could he be the final receiver?

228
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: I think there's potential for that. But if he's not

229
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: healthy and you have already other issues at the position

230
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: injury wise, you can't. You can't keep a bunch of

231
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: unhealthy receivers. That's just the reality of it. So I

232
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: think that him landing on I R is is certainly

233
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: a possible. Just cutting a straight third round pick, especially

234
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: with the potential that Boykan has if you can't trade him,

235
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: let's say, is tough one to swallow. And especially you

236
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: have Sammy Watkins on a one year deal. You know,

237
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: could Baken come back next summer and really start to

238
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: ball out and put it together, you know, in his

239
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: fourth season and you say, all right, he's a he's

240
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: far offensive next year as an outside receiver. Potential for

241
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: that too. We haven't seen boy Can in a couple

242
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: of weeks. Hollywood Brown has been out there, Sammy Watkins

243
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been out there in the last week. Now, The

244
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: hope the expectation would be that all these guys are

245
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: ready to go at the start of the season. But

246
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: as we're doing this, I just don't truly know the

247
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: health status. So that's that's that's four guys there, and

248
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Bateman right so has yes, he's gonna be one, and

249
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: I think then the same goes for Duvernet, proche Wallace.

250
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: But depending on this is okay, this is a long

251
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: preamble just to say I struggled with whether to keep

252
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: an extra spot, whether a seventh receiver because I've already got,

253
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: or just keep six. And is that Boykin He's not

254
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: healthy right now either, so what's his status? And do

255
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: you need another injured receiver on the team? Um? Do

256
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: I keep Dion Kane? I'm going with a different dark horse,

257
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: keep j Moore. And and the reason is is that

258
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: he's a healthy receiver. This is a healthy body's health.

259
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: He's a healthy receiver. Like I said, he's a body.

260
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's a healthy receiver when you haven't

261
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: had that all of training camp. So if I had

262
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: the true insight and I knew what the doctors are

263
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: saying about the status of these other guys, maybe I

264
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: would Feelin's on the field too. Man, he's healthy. He's

265
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: been out there for one practice's healthy one practice, one

266
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: practice and maybe no, honestly, maybe that that is maybe

267
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: they're looking at it. They're saying, this guy is he's

268
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: ready to go. It's your logic. You need a healthy receiver.

269
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: But I'm keeping more right now, all right, all right,

270
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: let's go to let's go to tight end because this

271
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: is tough too. Alright, So, um, Andrew's on. Yes, I

272
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: have Josh Oliver on I okay, I think Oliver has

273
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: done enough in camp. It's intriguing player Mark or Nick

274
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: nick Boyle has not practiced yet at all. He's on

275
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: he well is he? Yes? Okay, so this is I

276
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: think this is the I R. Stash and that that

277
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: could well if he's not ready for week one, he

278
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: has to be on the three man roster, or he

279
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: can start the season on the publist. He's on the

280
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: physically unable to perform list right now, that's true, that's true.

281
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: But then he's six games. I don't I don't think

282
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: that they're gonna sideline Nick Boyle for six games. I

283
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: think he's on the fifty three and you have a

284
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: uh I r Elde will return three three weeks. That

285
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: could certainly be the case. I you're propping him, Well,

286
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: I just again, well would you put down No, let

287
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: me just explain that that's that that's the situation. And

288
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: again it goes back to not really knowing the health

289
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: status of these guys. I would put him on and

290
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: then I would tell Eric Thomlinson stick by the phone,

291
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: and Eric Thomlinson is probably gonna be on the agreement,

292
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: and then Eric Thomlinson might be on the team on

293
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: September two. Yeah, I don't. I don't have Eric Thomlinson

294
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: on the team either way either way. Okay, interesting, So

295
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: you just think they're gonna roll with Mark Andrews and

296
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver is a two times? You have pat Rickard Yeah? Yeah,

297
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: so I mean you have like pat rickcart can step

298
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: into the Nick Boyle roll and be kind of that block.

299
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: Who's gonna who's gonna take that when they put Nick

300
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: Boyle on I R. If they put Nick Boyle on

301
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: I R. You know, they just roll with those three guys. Yeah,

302
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: but who's gonna take that spot? Oh? I gotta don't

303
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: you worry about it. I'm filling my roster. I'm filling

304
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: my roster, okay, all right? Um So now offensive line

305
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley on Villen, Wava on, Zeitler, on Bozeman, on Powers,

306
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: on Phillips, Tyree, Tyree Phillips, on Bank Cleveland, on McCarry.

307
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: I have Patrick McCarry on as well, and that's eight.

308
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I agree. Now. The tricky one there that I thought

309
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: about is John James. That it goes into the same

310
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: thing if Harball said months ago that they think that

311
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: John James could return from his achilles injury at some

312
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: point late this season November December is what he said.

313
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: So if if you don't put him on the fifty

314
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: three right now, he's done. They can't pop him right.

315
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: He's on the he's on the n f I list

316
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: right now, right. Can you put him on the publist? No,

317
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: he's that that's you can't. Yeah, correct. Um So, if

318
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: he's not on the fifty three, then he ain't playing

319
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: this year. You're sending him to i R. So that's

320
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: kind of a tricky one because to me, the Ravens

321
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: biggest weakness right now is the third offensive tackle spot.

322
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they have a great solution right now

323
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: for who would play tackle. If Ronnie or Villain the

324
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: wave of a word to go down, that guy would

325
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: probably Tyree Phillips. McCarry can step in if he needs to. Uh,

326
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Schofield was a guy who I thought

327
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: about keeping on the roster for that reason. Um So

328
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: I think they would like to have Jowan James in

329
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: their back pocket for potentially late in the season. But

330
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: I just it's a valuable roster spot. It is. I

331
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: couldn't find a way to finagle that and and keep

332
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: that door open. So I think he just gets ird

333
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: for the season, comes back strong next year. And the

334
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: other thing too, is it's not like it's not a

335
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: situation where you know what you have once he's back

336
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: out there. The guy's never played in your system. The

337
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: comparison is through All sucks, right, So Throrell Sucks Tours

338
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: super fair comparison. Well, I'm just saying in terms of

339
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the injury through All Sucks tours Achilles in April, I

340
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: think it was right before the draft and right first

341
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: the drafts pretty similar timeline exactly, and then he came

342
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: back mid season, missed six games. It was like October.

343
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: It's crazy, it was that was an insane recovery. Obviously

344
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: a lot of differences. The biggest one outside of the

345
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: fact that one is Terrell Suggs is Hall of Famers.

346
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: Let's just see your point. They knew where they had, right,

347
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: you know what you have? Like, you know what he

348
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: brings the team? John James is kind of like this

349
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: added bonus, right, Yeah, you love to have to see

350
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: what he has, But like, do you want to throw

351
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: him out there and hustle him up and all that

352
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: stuff to to see it? Yeah? I think you're you're okay. Yeah,

353
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: And I will say that if there's gonna be someone

354
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: who's on the fifty three man roster who's not currently

355
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: on the team right now, I think that that's gonna

356
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: be on the offensive line, if someone gets cut from

357
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: another team, if there's a trade potential that exists with

358
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: another team. The Ravens have done a lot of old

359
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: line maneuvering late in the game in training camp over

360
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: the years. That's been something that's happened plenty of times.

361
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: So I could see potentially a swing tackle who's not

362
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: in Baltimore right now finding his way to this team. Yeah.

363
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: The one the player that a lot of media folks

364
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: are really having a tough time with is Tristan Cologne

365
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: and whether to keep him on the fifty three is

366
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the backup center to Bradley Bozeman, And I think Tristan

367
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: is good. I just think that Patrick McCarry, that's really

368
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: the value of Patrick McCarey is he's the super sub.

369
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Like you keep him on the roster. He can back

370
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: up guard, tackle, and obviously center, that's you know where

371
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: he was playing, That's where he was in the playoffs,

372
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: starting center. So to me, I guess I just don't

373
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: see when you have McCarry who can fill a bunch

374
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: of spots, while you keep just a strict strictly a

375
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: backup center in Tristan coloone. And I think Tristan Cologne

376
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: lands on the practice squad definitely. I think he lands

377
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, all right. So that's the entire

378
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: offense there. Uh, note that neither of us have Ben Mason,

379
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: the rookie fifth round pick, making the team. I just

380
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: think he's a practice squad a guy. It's too tough

381
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: at fullback to keep two guys there, and then there's

382
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: already the challenge at tight end with the roster maneuvering

383
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: that could take place there. So we both have him

384
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: off um, but then have some disagreements there. We agree

385
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: on offensive line, but we have some disagreements at running

386
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: back and at wide receiver. All right, so we're gonna

387
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we come back. We'll dive

388
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: into the defense. Sunday is right around the corner. Draft

Speaker 1: to our friends there at Draft Kings. Time to look

398
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: at the defense. All right, So let's go ahead and

399
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: start up front on the defensive line. On the line,

400
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: I questions here, Klais Campbell, Brandon Williams, Derek Wolfe, all on,

401
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: Justin Matta beat k I've got Justin Ellis and Brogerick Washington. Yes,

402
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: that's my sixth defensive lineman here, I'm here, all right?

403
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: That was quick? All right? Outside linebacker there could be

404
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: there's like, there's many question marks here. Either to be honest, well,

405
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Pronoumina fee on, Justin Houston on Bowser, oh

406
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: way on Dalen Hayes on the question at outside linebacker

407
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: would be Jalen Ferguson. I have him on to Chris

408
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: Smith is a veteran player who the Ravens added, who

409
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: had a sack the last game. I think he's been

410
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: a pretty so pretty good. Left him off. I left

411
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: him off too. I went with Jalen Ferguson, I mean wink.

412
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Martindale was pretty effusive in praise of him this week,

413
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: saying that he told the entire defense last week that

414
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Ferguson had his two best practices as a Raven.

415
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: It didn't sound like a defensive loves him. He loves

416
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: clearly clearly. It shoul didn't sound like they're unhappy with him. No, Yeah,

417
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he stepped up at the right time.

418
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: He needed to play better. Uh and and he did.

419
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I think we're all wondering with Justin

420
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Houston's rival, like, oh, this could squeeze out Jalen Ferguson.

421
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: But uh, you know he's a physical player. He's getting better.

422
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: You can set the edge. Well, Um, you know the

423
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Ravens obviously, you know Justin Houston is on a one

424
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: year deal. You know they have some veterans in that

425
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: room who they're gonna look for some of these younger guys.

426
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: You know, now, Jalen Ferguson, if you keep them around

427
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: in year four, he's gonna be in a pretty big

428
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: position for them next year. Um, so I think they'd

429
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: like to keep developing him and see what they have

430
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: in him. All right, So inside linebacker, This one I

431
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: thought was gonna sorry Pernell was the other veteran. I mean, right,

432
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: you have Justin and Parnell on one year deals, So

433
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: Ferguson next year, I think it could be an important player. Yeah,

434
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: so it'side linebacker. I think it was gonna be an

435
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: interesting one. But uh, with the unfortunate season, any knee

436
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: injury to LJ. Ford, I feel like this one kind

437
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: of became more clear. Patrick Queen, Malee Harrison on, Chris

438
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: board On, Kristen Welch, I have him on too. I

439
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: mean you just need you need you, and he's a

440
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: good special teams player exactly he played, He was on

441
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: the team late in the season last year, he tell you,

442
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: I think ten games last year. So, uh, you know,

443
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: I think he's just eyes. Not like there's been a

444
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: ton of conversation around with Christian Welch. But he's the classic,

445
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: like good special team or good depth player at that position.

446
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: So I've got him. I mean, how many how many

447
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: inside linebackers have made their way via special teams onto

448
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: this team and had a role, Chris Board being one

449
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: of them. You know, there's a bunch of guys, countless examples.

450
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: All right, Now we go to the secondary cornerback. Yes,

451
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: this is where it's a little more challenging. Marcus Peters,

452
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith on Marlin Humphrey. I think he'll make teams.

453
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: You think he's gonna be on uh, Tavon Young on

454
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: Anthony averett on. All right, now with Jimmy, you know,

455
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Jimmy return to practice yet from the

456
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Hopefully he is getting close and and he

457
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: gets back out there. If he if if the ankle

458
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: injury is something that does linger, maybe he could be

459
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: one of those candidates. For the early season. I r spot,

460
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: but I'm not going there yet. Um, based on what

461
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens have said. So um, all right, So the

462
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: other three guys there corner who are competing Nigel Warrior,

463
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: who saw a good bit of action last week's game.

464
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: He was a practice squad guy last year. Seawn Wade,

465
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: roky fifth round pick who had the interception in the

466
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: first game. There are reports of the Ravens are interested

467
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: in trading him. And then Chris Westry, uh, physically talented

468
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: guy six ft four, interesting and triguing player who you got. Wow,

469
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: I think I think he's I think he's earned dude too,

470
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: don't Yes, I do, Yes, I I think he's just

471
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: won the job. He's he's played well in practices. You know,

472
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: he's had some he's flashing games. You know, he's he

473
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: gave up one long completion in Carolina. Um, he had

474
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: the bad penalty in the first game. Is the bad

475
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: penalty in the first game. But he also had a

476
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: tip pass that led to an interception. But um, I

477
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: just think Chris Westry has been in an intriguing player,

478
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: especially as an outside cornerback. Developed him. You know, Jimmy,

479
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: how much longer is Jimmy gonna play? Could queer s

480
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: Westry kind of step into that, you know, just to

481
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: be honest, there's just not many too many guys out

482
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: there like Chris Westry. He's kind of a rare breed

483
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: six ft four with that length. His athleticism is speed.

484
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: I like Chris Westry. Yeah, I agree with everything you

485
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: said there and with Wade. You know, the report comes

486
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: out today that the Ravens are interested in trading him.

487
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: He did and he did not see much action at

488
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: all in the second preseason game, which I think everyone said, huh,

489
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: what's up with that? You know, is something going on there?

490
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: You got an interception after you got the game ceiling

491
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: interception in the first game, right, so what's he put

492
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: it on tape? Yeah, what's up with that? You know?

493
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: And I think that then the wheel start turning out,

494
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: the Ravens trying to get him on the practice squad

495
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: or what what you know, what happens um. I would

496
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: believe that there's a trademarker for this guy. I mean

497
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: when the Ravens drafted him in the fifth round, everyone

498
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: was saying, Wow, great value. He was somebody the year before.

499
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Had he come out and not stayed another season at

500
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State, probably would have been a second round maybe

501
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: even a late first round pick. So as a fifth

502
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: round pick, you know, do you trade him to another

503
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: team and get a fifth back. I think that would

504
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: be the aim. And I think he's I think he's

505
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: had a solid camp. He's been up and down, but

506
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: he's got playmaking ability. And the Ravens are just so

507
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: deep at secondary where another team maybe there's an injury,

508
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: they just feel like, all right, this is a guy

509
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 1: with some tremendous upside. Let's just go ahead and get him.

510
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: Totally agree, all right, So safety Chuck Clark, Shawn Elliott, Yes,

511
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Stevens, Yes, Anthony Levine, Yes, I have Anthony Levine

512
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: off in a handshake agreement. This is my this is

513
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: my Nick Boyle deal. This is the vested veteran. You

514
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: release him, give him the handshake deal. We're bringing you

515
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: back once boil is on the fifty three and then

516
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: we sent him to i R so he can come

517
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: back after three. Uh. But for right now, you're not on.

518
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: You're not making the team. He's the perfect handshak agreement guy. Mhmm, Yeah,

519
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: I know. I think that. And what you mean by

520
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: that is is, if you end up getting released a

521
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: vested vetter, invested veteran, you don't go through waivers, so

522
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: then you have the ability to just resigned with or

523
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: sign with any team that you want exactly, and the

524
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: team would obviously be the Ravens. You have that agreement

525
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: pretty much in place. You have that agreement in place,

526
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: just not signed. So then Gino Stone, I have him on.

527
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: I had Geno Stone on draft pick last year, ends

528
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: up bouncing to Indy, then comes back Houston, sorry Houston,

529
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: bounces to Houston, then comes back, ends up on the

530
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: practice squad, makes the two picks in the first game.

531
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: I think he's been solid, solid special teams player. I

532
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: have him on, but I all study. I also have

533
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Levine on. Well. So the thing with Gino that

534
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: I'll say before I clown on you for your your

535
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: rustum sticks here um, is that you know, I like

536
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: what I've seen from Brandon Stevens, but he's a developmental

537
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: safety who just started playing it like three months ago,

538
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: you right, I mean he was playing running back, cornerback,

539
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: and now he's transitioned to safety. So if you were

540
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: to have an injury at safety, maybe Brandon Stevens has

541
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: shown enough promised to for you to throw him in there.

542
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: But it makes me sleep a little better at night

543
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: to know that I have a true safety in Gino Stone.

544
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: You know who can who can step into that spot

545
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: if needed, like, and he's played well. I mean obviously

546
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: two interceptions, and I've even thought that when Sean Elliott

547
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: missed the practice earlier in training camp one day, I

548
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: don't know what it was for, um and and Gino

549
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: stood out like he came downhill and popped J. K.

550
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: Dobbins once and it was a good pop. So I

551
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: think Gino has played well enough to earn a spot.

552
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: I think he beats out our Darius Washington, the talented

553
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agent. Um, I just think he beat

554
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: him out. And you tried to get our day us

555
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: on your practice quad. Yeah, well Geno Stone too. If

556
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: you remember when the Ravens drafted him, Daniel Jeremiah was

557
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: glowing in his phrase of him talking about how he

558
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: was shocked that he was still available. He had to

559
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: seal the draft. Yeah, he said, it's like a second

560
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: third round grade on him and he ends up going

561
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: in the sixth round. Yeah, so he was That kind

562
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: of gives you an indication of what Daniel Jeremiah thought

563
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: of Geno Stones. Well, and people talk about, well, if

564
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: you cut our Darius Washington here was a priority free agent,

565
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens reportedly, you know he was created

566
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. Is the top undrafted rookie free

567
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: agent out there, So you might lose him if you

568
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: cut him. Well yeah, but you know Gino Stone was

569
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: a draft pick, right, and so like the Ravens clearly

570
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: thought enough to invest in him, Like, if you cut him,

571
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: then you might lose a guy you drafted, not you know,

572
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, I think for the second straight year,

573
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't have an undrafted rookie on the roster, a

574
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: rookie free a rookie free agent, right. So the difference

575
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: is that we have You have Deon Kane on, I

576
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: have Jennison was the seventh round pick seventh time. Okay,

577
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: you have Deon Kane on. I have Jalen Moore on.

578
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: So that's the difference there. Um. The other one is

579
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: a running back. You have Justice Hill, I have Tyson Williams,

580
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: you have Anthony Levine off. What's the other what's the

581
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: other difference for us? Here. You've got leavin off, I've

582
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: got them on. Do you have too many players? Do

583
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: have five? Count them up? No? I don't think I

584
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: count them up. I don't. There's there is another difference.

585
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Let's go. I want to hear you verbally count them

586
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: all up? Right now? All right? One? And if you

587
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: did it wrong, you owe me ten. What were you at?

588
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. Do you even have enough muscle

589
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: to give me ten push ups? You don't. I don't

590
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: even think you can get your ted you're gonna do.

591
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna do ten of those fake push ups on

592
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: your knees. You do the fakis? Yeah, said, come on

593
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: you to the listeners. No, I'm not giving you any

594
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm not giving me anything. You can't because

595
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: you can't even do it. I gotta well, now, I

596
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: gotta think about where my last cuts coming. I gotta

597
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: think about I gotta think about where my last cut

598
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: is coming. Do I don't make the cut. Don't make

599
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: the cut. You're the turk right now. You gotta walk

600
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: in after you told him he made the time, this guy,

601
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: you made the team. And now you gotta walk in

602
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: and say sorry, man, I miscounted this is why you're

603
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: not Eric da Costa. This is why him Eric da

604
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: Costa this right, Come on, Turk, didn't didn't you? I

605
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: think this happened to you the last time we did this.

606
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: You were just on the flip side of it because
