1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: And that's serious. There's a lot to talk about, a

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts that we're all having at this time

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: based on what's going on around our country right now

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: and a lot of sad stuff going on. You know,

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: there's still football to talk about, and we are going

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: to get to a little bit what else is going

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: on around the country. People have been asking about trading Gus,

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: trading Justice, trading Ingram since we drafted j K. Dobbotts,

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: and I still stand by it. I do not think

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: one of those guys are gonna get traded. Yeah, here's

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: the thing, the roles don't really change, right because Gus

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: Edwards is still your power back. Stop trying to trade Gus.

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: The bus people keep trying to trade him. Stop it.

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Garrett's a terrible receiver though. Just to let everybody out

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: there know, no, you are only only of any use

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Besides that, don't even look his way.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: You're just embarrassed because when we've played backyard football, I've

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: dunked on you so many times, and Randy Ross, you

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: have lost you so many times that you're embarrassing. You

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: gotta try to discredit me. Welcome into the lounge. A

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: lot to talk about football wise and non football wise.

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: On today's episode, we don't have a guest for you know,

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: of the Lounge? Forgot the guy who did it before?

33

00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: he was like, are you not doing the I can't anymore?

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: What's going on? All because of your intro I had.

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: I had over a dozen emails that were saying, so

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: glad to hear this news. I love to change. Bring

Speaker 1: on more Cliff. Yeah. I had thousands of calls and

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: texting emails. Everyone was teaching out concerned millions. It's classic

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: misinformation make not providing things in an accurate way. But

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: for the listeners who were concerned and have reached out.

42
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: I am very appreciative and I am back, and I

43
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: am back. Bernally, I took I'm not here for one podcast,

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: and I know it feels when I missed one podcast

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: to make I know, it feels like a lot has

46
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: changed and I'm very dearly missed. That's what was going on.

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I understand to be real, I actually did listen back

48
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: to it. I was like, yeah, I kind of didn't

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: make it clear that it was just like a vacation,

50
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: take a vacation, vacation. I actually did like think that.

51
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I was like, it kind of soundingly close to the

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: new guy. I mean, we're all with it. Let's see

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: what happens. Well, Cliffs sounded that was the other funny

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: part about it is Cliff basically was surprised, you know,

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: as you did the entry, you like kicked it to

56
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: him and he was like, I guess it's good to

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: be here. Like I think he thought that he missed

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: the news. Also, he missed new job duties, new job duties. Anyway,

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: it's good to have you back, buddy, Glad you're refreshed

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: after a little VACA time. How was it you picked

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: a good week last week? The weather was like idea

62
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: perfect weather. Yeah, it was great. I mean it's uh,

63
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: there's still not much you can do obviously, but um,

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: it's nice to be able to kind of relax a

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: little bit and get away, so to speak metaphorically, I guess, um,

66
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: but it was good. It was good. I'm glad to

67
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: be back though. Yeah. Yeah. So, like I said, there's

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, and and a serious not a lot to

69
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: talk about, a lot of thoughts that we're all having

70
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: at this time based on what's going on around our

71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: country right now, and uh, a lot of sad stuff

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: going on. Um, but we know, while we've kind of

73
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: dialed back on the content where you have only have

74
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: one podcast this week, um, you know, there's still football

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: to talk about, and we are going to get to

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of talking about what else is going

77
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: on around the country. Um So, Garrett, first, let's start

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: off by getting into the emails you have wait, you

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: got the Ram. Yes. Before we get into the emails,

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and say hello to our friends at RAM.

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: Because there's only one truck brand strong enough to partner

82
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: with the lounge of the Ravens podcast network, and that's

83
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: Ram Trucks Motor Trends. Back to back truck of the year.

84
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: The ramif offers an available rambox cargo management system, four

85
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: corner air suspension, and a huge, huge amount of of

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: rear legroom. When properly equipped, the RAM is a heavy

87
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: duty workhorse that boasts a thousand pound feet of diesel torque.

88
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: Go to ram dot com for great eels on a

89
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: wide selection of RAM trucks. Now with door to door delivery.

90
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: Did you know you can get a truck delivered? You can't.

91
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: You can do that. I'll take a truck. I think

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: you have to buy it. It's not. They're not giving

93
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: away trucks. You have to buy the truck and to

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: get it delivered. So if you do that, then you

95
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: can just wait up for the knock on your front door. Well,

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for my wife to put in that order.

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like I get five I get

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,240

99
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: what is this you're waiting for? You're waiting for the

100
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: truck to be on one of those boxes. Sure, yeah, yeah, um. Anyway,

101
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: so into the mailbox here got some good emails. As always,

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,640

Speaker 1: NFL dot net and this IS's actually pretty pertinent considering, uh,

104
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about replacing you on the pod. This comes

105

Speaker 1: from from John Evendola and I don't know if any

106
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: relation to Danny Avendola, but if so, I don't like maybe.

107
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: Uh so, John says, please to announce a set in

108
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: generation member of the flock, Jasper, who was born on May.

109
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: Although he's got miles to go to make the team,

110
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: he could have minx job in months. That wasn't an

111
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: email and a cute picture. He included a cute picture

112
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: in there. Very a few creute pictures. We even have,

113
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520

Speaker 1: recognition thing. Yeah, we got helmet on Jasper. Cute picture.

115
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: I wish we could show the pictures. I'm just as

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: a cute kid. Cute kids. So congrats to John and

117
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to Jasper and to the whole fam. Uh to Jasper's mom.

118
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: So uh, pretty exciting stuff. I got another email here

119
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: from Aaron Smith and says, what's up, Ryan Garrett, your

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Canadian friend? Aaron here, love Canada. Uh. Few few questions

121
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: for you guys who I'm wondering who? Uh sorry, A

122
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: few questions for guys who I'm wondering you think make

123
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: the roster. Who would you rather have as a backup quarterback,

124
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: Trace McSorley or Tyler Huntley. He says he's leaning more

125
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: towards Huntly because of his skill set is closer to

126
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Lamars with his scrambling ability and athleticism. So we'll let's

127
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: dive into that first. Then I'll get the rest of

128
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the question. Yeah. Sure, So well, let me just start

129
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: by saying, are we sure the Ravens are gonna have

130
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks on the team this year? I think that

131
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: that's the first question. And I think that Robert Griffin

132
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: is going to be the number two quarterback is my

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: expectation that he would once again be the backup quarterback.

134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: And Trace obviously made the team last year, didn't play

135
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: in any games, but he was on the team, So

136
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: I think that's I don't think it's a foregone conclusion

137
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: that all three guys there's three quarterbacks again, I'll start there.

138
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: I as much as I liked getting to know Tyler

139
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: in the conversation we had with him, UM, I think

140
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: it's a very long shot for him to make the team. Um,

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: he's just the fourth guy on a team. That has

142
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: two Heisman Trophy winners, one of them being the m

143
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: V p um and a pretty good quarterback, and Trace McSorley,

144
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: who the Ravens drafted last year ahead of him. So

145
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: I don't see Huntley making the fifty three man roster.

146
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: I think he could be a practice squad candidate potentially,

147
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: but then you have four guys on your team. All

148
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: depends on if exactly if mcsorley's kept on the fifty three,

149
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: then I definitely could see exactly if I would that

150
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: would be under the that would be if a situation

151
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: if three were not to keep McSorley on the fifty

152
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: three and he were to go elsewhere. That's an example.

153
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I I agree that I like Tyler Huntley's

154
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: skill set, and I like, to me, uh, Tyler Huntley

155
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: has the potential to be maybe you know, the r

156
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: G three after RG three moves on, right, I mean

157
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: beyond this season. RG three is signed through this season.

158
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: I like that RG three kind of has similar traits,

159
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: and I could say same as Lamar, similar traits to

160
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Lamar and and Huntley is a lot like that. I

161
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: also like the way Trace mcs certainly played last preseason

162
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not all forget that. Like dude stepped

163
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: in when r G three was hurt last preseason and

164
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: played pretty darn well. I mean, he played well enough

165
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: to earn a spot on the roster. Yeah, I thought,

166
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: I thought he exceeded expectations last preseason. I agree, I agree,

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: um and yeah, I think his teammates were impressed with

168
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: the way. In conversations I had with other guys around

169
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: the locker room, they were impressed with the kid. Um.

170
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: So you know, I like Trace McSorley too. I'm gonna

171
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: just say this. I think it depends on how they

172
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: play in training camp in the preseason. I mean, to me,

173
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are really the easiest position to evaluate in the

174
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: preseason because you really get a good, very good look

175
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: at them, and they get a lot of playing time.

176
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: So let's see how Trace plays, Let's see how Tyler

177
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: Huntley plays, and they the best man win. But you

178
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: could see so should just make sure that I'm understanding.

179
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: You could see there quarterbacks on the fifty roster, and

180
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley is one of them over Trace McSorley. If

181
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: he bawled out, yes, I could see that. I mean,

182
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a long shot, like you said, but

183
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: if he looks really, really good in practice and he

184
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: plays really well in the preseason and gets enough snaps

185
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: to even get an opportunity the right because because r

186
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: G three is gonna get some snaps, Tracey is gonna

187
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: get some snaps. And then you get to Tyler. What's

188
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: he get, you know, a couple of series at the

189
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: end of games. I don't know. I don't think. I'm

190
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: just saying I think it's a long shot. I don't

191
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: think it's out of the realm of possibilities that he

192
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: would overtake mixed Orley. Um, but I think it's a

193
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: long shot. I like the kid, I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued,

194
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: but I I I don't see that being the scenario.

195
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: I just don't see there being a scenario. Or he

196
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: makes the fifty three. I think if the Ravens don't,

197
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: if Trace McSorley is not on the fifty three, I

198
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: think there's two quarterbacks on the fifty three man roster,

199
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, having a third quarterback as a luxury. And

200
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: if if Trace weren't to make the fifty three, then Huntley,

201
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: I think as a practice squad candidate and trace probably

202
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: ends up elsewhere. Yeah, I think Huntley is a great practice,

203
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: good candidate. I think that's most likely. But the other

204
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: thing two on trace, just real quick on that, by

205
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: no means is he to see match Lamar Jackson or

206
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin thirds running ability, but he doesn't buying ability. Yeah,

207
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean he he had thirty rushing touchdowns in college

208
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: and and seven rushing yards last year at Penn State.

209
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: So it's not like that. It's not like this guy's

210
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: a stiff back there. From the exactility standpoint exactly, I

211
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: totally agree with that point. I think that's a good point. Um,

212
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: speaking of like keeping three quarterbacks and it being a luxury,

213
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: you gotta keep a spot for our boy Wright Steiner, right,

214
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: And that's the next part of the question here. He said, Also, uh,

215
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: if you were E. D. C. Eric Kasa, would you

216
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: bring in as a backup fullback or move Ricard to

217
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: full time defensive tackle? Can I start on this. There's

218
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: no there's no way we're moving Recard to full time

219
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. The guy's a Pro Bowl fullback, right hey,

220
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: And and and we run the ball, so that fullback

221
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: position is really important. Plus Ricard might have a little

222
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: bit more on his plate just because there's an opening

223
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: a tight end. Now, I expect one of the undrafted

224
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: tight ends between you on Breland and Eli Well have

225
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: to take that spot that hayden Hurst had. But Ricard

226
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: could see a little bit more, a little bit more

227
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: action there. Um. I like when they throw the ball

228
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: at the Ricard. It was kind of like the Vonta

229
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Leach scripted up first play of the game. The balls

230
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: going Vonta balls going to Vonsae se chance and he's

231
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: struck at somebody. Then Kyle you Check became that guy

232
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Well, I don't know, I don't remember what

233
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: year it was, but that one year you Check got

234
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: the first play. It had to be seventy percent of

235
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: the time. I don't know how defensive coordinators didn't sniff

236
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: that one out. I think that was the Trustman year.

237
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: Oh trust that's amazing. Every every game it was the

238
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: play action fake passa you Check in the flat. We

239
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: just start laughing in the press box and we would

240
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: be like, there it is, got him again, baby. Yeah,

241
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't ters a Reich signer again. I'm not trying

242
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: to poop who all the guys who have been on podcast.

243
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: Look at some I wonder we're having trouble book and guests.

244
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a long shot. I think it's I

245
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: think it's a very long shot because, like you said,

246
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be undraft player that makes a team.

247
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be one of those tight ends.

248
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean Hardball even said it could be both of them.

249
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: That's a that was you know, that was an interesting

250
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: little wrinkle, interesting point that both those guys are going

251
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: to be in the mix to make the team. Um

252
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, where Cards not playing more defense? The Ravens

253
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: have a really good I think rotation along the defensive

254
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: line now with the guys now we have Broaderick Washington Jr.

255
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, with those guys they added plus like you

256
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: still have Justin Ellis and gehad Ward who were there.

257
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot of competition there. I

258
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: think that the snapstret would be tough to come by

259
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: for a Card And by the end of the last

260
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: season he was barely playing on defense and he was

261
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: almost exclusively an offensive player. Really, the question is is

262
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: regarded to a player at all anymore? And seriously, he

263
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: might I mean he might not even go to defensive

264
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: meetings moving forward. I don't know that would be an

265
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: interesting We should have him on. We should ask that question.

266
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: We should. He loves me, he loves going to both meetings,

267
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: so he'll probably try to advocate for both. But we'll

268
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: see U. Last question. Alright, this is a three parter.

269
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: Any questions, come on, man, dude, he's got hey, he's

270
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: from Canada. I'm giving him what he wants. Alright, this

271
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: is Aaron, he says. Finally, one are the odds that

272
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards gets traded before the season's end to get

273
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: draft capital if he asked for too much since we

274
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: already have Dobbins to be the RB one post Ingram,

275
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't understand that if he asked for if he

276
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: asked for too much, what is he asking for? Talking

277
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: about extension? Yeah, I don't. I don't think he's gonna

278
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: get an extension this offseason, sends words, doesn't scream a

279
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: guy who's banging on the door to get paid to me.

280
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't think Us is gonna hold out this summer

281
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: for a new deal. People have been saying asking about

282
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: trading Gus, trading Justice, trading Ingram. Since we drafted j K. Dobbins,

283
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: and I've said and I still stand by it. I

284
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: do not think one of those guys are gonna get traded.

285
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: I really don't. And I think that, uh, I think

286
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: that the Ravens have made it clear between what Hardball

287
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: and DaCosta have said that they expect all four of

288
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: those guys to be on the team. So I just

289
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: don't see a trade. Yeah, here's the thing. The roles

290
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: don't really change, right, because Gus Edwards is still your

291
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: power back, like short yardage power back. Nobody Dobbins isn't

292
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: that kind of guy. He's not built like Gus Edwards.

293
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Nobody's replaced him. Justice Hill is still your speed change

294
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: a pace back, right, So, like the roles haven't changed,

295
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: it's just that you've added Dobbins, who I think, like

296
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron says, is the future RB one, right,

297
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: and so sure he's gonna get carries, and that's gonna

298
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: take away some from those other guys. But like, I

299
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: still don't think that Dobbin's arrival replaces those other guys

300
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: because he's not like those other guys necessarily, He's more

301
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: like mark Inger. Yeah, he's more like mark Ingram exactly right.

302
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: So you know, he can take a little bit and

303
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a little bit off everybody's plate. But yes,

304
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: I agree, he's Dobbins is built to be at RB one,

305
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: whereas Gus Edwards I think, and Justice Hill are very good,

306
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: complimentary pieces that will still be used this year. Yeah. Yeah,

307
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: So stop trying to trade Gus the Bus. People keep

308
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: trying to trade him. Stopping everyone's trying to trade him.

309
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Stop you. What's up with you? Though? With the negativity,

310
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: negativity on Huntley, negatively on my guy Wright Steiner, and positive.

311
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: I would I would, I would think after a week

312
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: vacation you'd come in with more optimism. I'm being I'm

313
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: being positive on our guy, Gus the Bus. I'm saying,

314
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: stop trying to trade him. He's gonna be on the team. Yeah. No,

315
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: I erased that part to make my point stronger. I mean,

316
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: there's fifty three guys in the team. You're trying to

317
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: be trying to get Gusts out of here so you

318
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: can put your boy right signing on the team. No,

319
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get anybody out. I'm just saying,

320
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: I like, I want everybody on the roster. You know,

321
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm all about the love alright, Alright. Another thing I

322
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about is something that's going

323
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: on over the past couple of weeks and probably will continue,

324
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: which is guys getting together during the off season. Um

325
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: with Lamar. We've seen it on SAT on TikTok this

326
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: week from some high school kid down to Florida who

327
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: stumbled upon a practice field and and all of a

328
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: sudden there's Lamar Jackson working out with James Brouche. I'm

329
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: like shocked that it doesn't happen more often. It just

330
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: seems like Lamar goes to like a local high school

331
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: field on a regular basis, and whoever he sees he sees.

332
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: It's so funny, like here's the NFL m v P

333
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: and he's just playing in the outfield of some baseball

334
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: field like like undisturbed. You know, Like I tell you,

335
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: it makes me like Brower County even more. You know,

336
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: he's our guy. He's doing his thing. Yeah, he's he's

337
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: a man of the people. Um So, you know, I

338
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: think a big question. This is something that that coach

339
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Hardball talked about when he did the PSL call with

340
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: with a conference call with the ps CL Wanders last week.

341
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: He talked about Lamar taking that next step, and I

342
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: think that's like a general, big talking point. Patrick Mahomes

343
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: made the step from m v P to Super Bowl winner.

344
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: Can Lamar Jackson take a similar step? So what do

345
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: you think about that possibility? And what do you think

346
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: about what you've seen from what he's done over the

347
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: past few weeks? Can I just did Patrick Mahomes take

348
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: the next proverbial step? I mean, his stats were worse,

349
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: he got hurt, his stats were considerably worse. I getty

350
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: he had a knee injury, Like he was dealing with

351
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: an injury. Um, I think this step. He took this

352
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: step in the playoffs obviously, Yes, sure, yeah, I mean

353
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: he made some great plays. Um, that was in the playoffs. Yeah,

354
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: I think that that's the step and that I mean

355
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: and and obviously knock on Lamar's that over to in

356
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So the step there is postseason. Yes, yes,

357
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: I I agree with that. Um, I mean I certainly

358
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: think that Lamar can take that step. I mean I

359
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: think it's kind of overblown, maybe to the extent that

360
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: like Lamar didn't play well in last year's playoffs, like

361
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't have a bad game against that is, see,

362
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: he really didn't. I mean I thought he was significantly

363
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: better than he was the year before against the Chargers.

364
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: Significantly Um. And like Lamar made some place right now,

365
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: Like you get you don't get stopped on fourth and

366
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: one twice. It's a whole different ball game. And Lamar

367
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: had the ball in his hands, you know. Um, But

368
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: like how much do you put on that on him?

369
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: On that you know, I'm not putting a whole lot.

370
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: So so anyway, my point is, like I don't think

371
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: that Lamar has to make some massive leap, you know,

372
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: to become like a better playoff quarterback. You think I think,

373
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: you think I think? Yeah, I mean, no, I get

374
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: I yeah, being he's the best player in the league

375
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: last year, most people player in the league. So how

376
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: much bigger ex do you want to take exactly? And

377
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: and now I do think that like Lamar will continue

378
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: to mature. I think that Lamar. Uh. The more times

379
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: that Lamar faces adversity in the NFL, Uh, the better

380
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: home get it face see it the next time. And

381
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: and he's got it now, right, And like you know,

382
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: I think, really, if I were going to critique Lamar

383
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: from last season's playoffs. It was like, I think he

384
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: gets frustrated and then he puts a lot on his shoulders,

385
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: you know. And I understand that he's a competitive dude.

386
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 1: We all know that, and like that has his pluses,

387
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: and it can and I think it can be a

388
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: detriment at times too, right. I mean we all saw

389
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: the face mass penalty at the end of the interception, right, right. Oh,

390
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: and and I love that about the kid. Competitive as hell, Right,

391
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: But like he's gonna learn how to rise past those

392
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: tough times even more the older he gets in, the

393
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: more experience he gets, and and so yes, I think

394
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: he could take a step that way. I think he's

395
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: gonna take a step naturally just as a quarterback and

396
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: through his mechanics and and some of those uh you know,

397
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: the deep passing that John harball reference, which I think

398
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: he can definitely take a big step in because I

399
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: think he throws that ball well, honestly, it's one of

400
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: his better throws in my opini in his resume. Um,

401
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: so he hits more of those for big plays. That's

402
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna be another step for him. Just reading defenses. The

403
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: more experience you get reading a defense, operating an offense,

404
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna naturally get better that way. So I think

405
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: he can take a step in a lot of different ways.

406
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: I'll add this one caveat when you have an unreal

407
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: season the way Lamar Jackson did, it's hard to replicate it. Like,

408
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, his touchdown the interception ratio is ridiculous, his

409
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: red zone success last year was ridiculous. Sometimes it's a

410
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: lot of averages with those things. Um So I I'm

411
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: not saying like he's gonna put up the exact same

412
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: status that he did last year or bigger because he's

413
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: taking these steps, but I think he's going to be

414
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: a better quarterback overall. Yeah, I think that's a fair point.

415
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just some of those residents touchdowns next

416
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: year could be carries by mark Ingram or j K.

417
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: Dobbins and then all of a sudden, your touchdown numbers

418
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: are down. It's like, well your touchdown numbers down, It's like, well,

419
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: you know Ingram has five more touchdowns or whatever the

420
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: number is. So I think three games where he throws

421
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: five touchdowns like here. So the one thing I I

422
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: think that something that is going to be a difference

423
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: this year is that he's got better weapons, and for

424
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: a few reasons. One, I like whe the Ravens did

425
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: in the draft with Devin Duvene and James Prochet. I

426
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: think Duvene is really an exciting player. And you saw

427
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: how Erica Coston John Harball felt about him on Draft weekend. Um,

428
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, Horriball looked like, look like me in my

429
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: living room watching a game on Sunday when the Ravens

430
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, score their fifth touchdown against the Rams on

431
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. You know, like he was, he was

432
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: fired up so um, So that's you know, that is uh.

433
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens had better weapons. Also, Hollywood is

434
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna be better, like Hollywood is. The guy looks like

435
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: he is going to be a stud this year. It's

436
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: almost like there's too much excitement around him as a

437
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: breakout player. My guys, kevn quiet down. Come on, keep

438
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: it under wraps a little bit because he I think

439
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be a star, and he just looks

440
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: like he is prizing for such a big season. He's

441
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: he's stronger, he's healthy. Um. And now we're gonna get

442
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: to kind of see the whole the full Hollywood Brad experience. Um.

443
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: And then we already talked about running backs. They got

444
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: another great running back in the mix, so the offensive

445
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: playmakers are even better than they were last year. So

446
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: that will just open up opportunities for him. You know,

447
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: like the deep ball you're talking about, Hollywood is gonna

448
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: catch more of those because he's healthy. And Devin Duvernet

449
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: has got great speed, Like could he catch some of

450
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: those deep passes and be a breakaway player? Sure, he's

451
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: got plenty of speed. Have you watched this? Have you

452
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: seen that guy's track videos? Yeah? Yeah, and and and

453
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: then I didn't even mention mos Boyking. But you know,

454
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: every time you talk to Hardball or Da Costa, they've

455
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: got great things to say about him on the expectations

456
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: for him. So he his hope is to take a

457
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: big step so all of those he bought a jugs machine.

458
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: By the way, Hey dude, ponied up for the jugs machine.

459
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: How is the I'm googling how much does you would

460
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: just get one of the cheap old ones from like

461
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: the eighties on eBay or something. I'm sure the new

462
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: one machine Amazon? Right now, let's check this out. These things.

463
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: You'll walk out to your your front step and there

464
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: will be a truck, a ram truck, and a new

465
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: drug machine sitting out there for you in the back

466
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: of the of the truck. Yeah, should we take Should

467
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: we take a break and tell the story about us

468
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: getting on the drugs on time? I think we have

469
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: told that story, but from this brief, brief version, brief version,

470
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: we get Yeah, go ahead, I'll start. Are you start?

471
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: We walk into the we walk into the basketball court

472
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: and the jugs machine is in there, and we start

473
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: just messing around with it a little bit and we

474
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: crank it up barely. I mean, we go to like

475
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: ten and it's humming. It is humming, it's it's a laser.

476
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: And how high did we get the thing? Fifteen? But

477
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: we got it up. Yeah, it's like stepping into a

478
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson fastball. M Yeah, it was. It was crazy.

479
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: Well also like we were standing kind of far away,

480
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: those things were zipping by our heads and we were like, nah, nah,

481
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: we're good, we're good. We'll just turn it down. And

482
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: then you see these these players and they're taking it

483
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: like right off the gun. What do what do they

484
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: put it at? Like fifty something? I don't think it's fifty.

485
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: I think it's more like eight hundred hundred and fifty hut.

486
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's those things. Man, They're dangerous. It's

487
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: scary when they get We weren't even close to cranked up,

488
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: and it is humming. Garret's Garrett's a terrible receiver though,

489
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Just to let everybody out there know only only only

490
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: of any use in the red zone. You're sent red

491
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: zone target. But besides that, don't even look his way

492
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: because you're slow. You're slow in and out of your brakes.

493
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: You have no no quickness. You're purely you can't quarterback.

494
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: You're you're drew bledsoe in the in the in the pocket,

495
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: no mobility. I thought my job. I thought were talking

496
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: about my receiving ability. You know I'm gonna I'm talking both.

497
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: You're just embarrassed because when we've played backyard football or

498
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: messed around in the field house, I've dunked on you

499
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: so many times, and Randy, I've lost you so many

500
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: times that you're embarrassed and you gotta try to anyway. Alright, alright,

501
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: let's move on. Let's move on. Uh Jude on another

502
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: big topic right now. You know he signed his franchise tag. Obviously,

503
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: I think the thought right now, what's being reported is

504
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: that means that he will not be traded this offseason. Certainly,

505
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, as early reports indicated it was a possibility.

506
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: Certainly the Ravens never went on the record saying that. Um.

507
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: But you know, here's the thing about Judon, Like, could

508
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: this guy just just really break out in air quotes

509
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: this year? I mean, he put up nine and a

510
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: half sacks last year and he's a franchise player. You know,

511
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: I think people know him, But I mean, could he

512
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: be a fifteen ZAC guy next year? Because you put

513
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: Klais Campbell in front of him, Derek Wolf in front

514
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: of him. You know, he's not the only guy. For

515
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, uh I, I just kind

516
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: of feel like Judean could take another step. Well, here's

517
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: the thing with ju Don also is he's just consistently

518
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: gotten better and you know, a bit of a late

519
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: bloomer in the sense he goes to Grand Valley State,

520
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: his fifth round pick, situational pass rusher, steps into a

521
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: starting role, then just continues to improve in every way,

522
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 1: Like he gets better against the run, he becomes more

523
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: of an all around linebacker. Like he's clearly one of

524
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: these guys that you give the Scouts a ton of

525
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: credit for drafting him as a fun pick, and then

526
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: you give him a ton of credit for developing once

527
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: he got to the Prosy coaches, so he just continued

528
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: to ascend. So could he be a fifteen second, I

529
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: mean that's a lot. I think that I think that

530
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna It would not surprise me at all if

531
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: he's a double it's fifteen is a lot. Fifteen is

532
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot um. But to be double digit,

533
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: which is just but the fraction more of what he

534
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: was last year, I could I could certainly see part

535
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: of the thing is too though, like I've said all along,

536
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: I think Tyas Bowser could get a bit more of

537
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: a piece of the pie. And Jalen Ferguson we really

538
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: like last year. And so you're gonna have Derek Wolf

539
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: and Calais Campbell get into the quarterback so they're those

540
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: those acts are going to be divided, I think by

541
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: a number, and the linebackers who are are gonna be

542
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: good blitzers, Patrick Queen, Emily Harrison. So fifty, I just

543
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's as much responsibility is going to be

544
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: on Jude On and that's not because it's not like

545
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: he's not up for it. It's just that you have

546
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: more guys you can be in the mix. And I

547
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: don't think there's gonna be as much pressure on him

548
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: to be the only guy getting to the quarterback. But

549
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: let's let's just you know, I you know what, I

550
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: butcher every single saying that I attempt to do. What

551
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: is it high tides raise all ships? Is that correct? Yes? Yes?

552
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Got one hot one. I mean, why can't he have

553
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: double digit twelve fifteen? You know, if we're I'm I'm

554
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: just optimistic today. Um and and Tis Bowser also had more.

555
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Ferguson also had more. You know, I mean the

556
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: Ravens were twenty one in the league in sacks last year.

557
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's room for everybody to get more here.

558
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: Let's let's have a party. UM. So, I don't think

559
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: it's out of their own possibility. I mean, you know,

560
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a good player, man, He's a good player. And

561
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: and I also like how he's he's developed as a

562
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: leader in that locker room. UM. I think it's gonna

563
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: be interesting how this plays out from here. You know,

564
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: what happens after this year on the franchise tag. The

565
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Ravens could tag him again. Can they get can they

566
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: reach a long term extension? What makes it hard is

567
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: that you have a lot of really good young players

568
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: that are coming new, right, And I think what we're

569
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna see is it's gonna depend on how other players develop, um,

570
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, and where do the Ravens invest their money.

571
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: What position groups do they value the most? Because left

572
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: tackle is a big one, right, And and Ronnie Stanley's

573
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: coming do after this year? And I can't imagine I

574
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: have trouble imagining a scenario where Ronnie Stanley isn't back

575
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: long term, right. I mean, here's one of the best

576
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: left tackles in the league, if not the best left

577
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: tackle in the league perhaps, and he's in the prime

578
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: of his career. You have a run heavy scheme and

579
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: an MVP quarterback you've got to protect. Offensive line is

580
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: pretty important, left tackle is pretty important, and he's gonna

581
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: be expensive too. Then and you have Marlon Humphrey. Then

582
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: you have Lamar Jackson. You know, we've seen the right

583
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: how they invest in the secondary. I mean, you can

584
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: go when you have the young talented players like the

585
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: Ravens have, then all of a sudden, you start looking

586
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: down on the line and you're like, whoakay, So Stanley,

587
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Judean humphrey're the kind of the big three right now

588
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: and the immediate some semi immediate, semi immediate. Then all

589
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's it's Lamar, and that changes everything

590
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: because then with Lamar, then you get into Orlando Brown,

591
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: Then you get into Mark Andrew's territory, where like, these

592
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: are really good players who are going to be looking

593
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: for additional contracts. And then and then it's like, Okay,

594
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: now it's um. Now we're really playing things out several

595
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: years down the line. But you're gonna have a lot

596
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: of these guys who are Pro Bowl players, andrews Lamar,

597
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Orlando Marlon all Pro bowlers. So, um, you gotta take

598
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: it one step at a time here. But I think

599
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: you just to put a bow on the on the

600
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: Judon conversation. We I always like a motivated player who's

601
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: playing in part for a contract, um, and so Judean

602
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: being on a franchise tag, I think he's really confident

603
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: in himself and he knows that he's gonna he's gonna

604
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: get a lot of money this year, big pay increase

605
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: from where he was last year, and he's still playing

606
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: for a big contract. So I do like that, Um,

607
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Steve only is really I mean Stanley, he didn't say

608
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: this explicitly, but he I mean he basically did. He

609
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: wants to be the highest paid left tackle and football,

610
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: which is topping what Larmie Tussle did, uh, which is

611
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: a ton of money, A ton of money. Yeah, yeah,

612
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: he didn't say that at all, but I'm sure he

613
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: feels that way. Uh. You know, he wants to pay

614
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: what he's worth, exactly what he's worth. And and then

615
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: the metrics Pro Football Focus says he was the best

616
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: left tackle and football, So I'm sure he thinks he's

617
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: worth that, um. And it's hard to argue, right, I

618
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: mean the Ravens. When you when you have a season

619
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: like he did last year, you've got a lot of leverage. Um.

620
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: So like I said, I mean, I I think the

621
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: Ravens will reach a contract extension with Ronnie Stanley. I

622
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: do think that he could be the highest paid non

623
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, which says a lot um and

624
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: and you know he's probably worth it, mhm. I mean,

625
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I think I think that he's gonna

626
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: get I think he's going to continue. It's hard to

627
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: get better from where he was that last year. But

628
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: here's the guy who's a perfectionist about his game. He's

629
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: been very durable. Um he I mean, he cares a

630
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: lot about his profession. He works well for the Ravens system.

631
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: He's at a premium position. He checks all the boxes. Yeah.

632
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: So tounsil three year, sixty six million with fifty million guaranteed,

633
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: so averaging twenty two million a year. So you know

634
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: what's it gonna take to get Stanley twenty three million

635
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: a year long term? It's a big contract. Um, he

636
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: can say dollars and and your spot is the co

637
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: host on the lounge. We'll throw that in. Is that

638
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: is that he is that an incentive or he had

639
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: he has to do that for him. Uh. But but

640
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: the other part of it too, Could you just franchise

641
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: him next year? Well? Yeah, I mean it depends on

642
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: what happens with jud right right. I mean I could

643
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: see a scenario where your franchise Judon twice, you could um. Yeah.

644
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: The other possibility with Stanley is you could work out

645
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: a long term deal with him before this season starts.

646
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that shocked me. I mean in the

647
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: season or during the season. They did it last year

648
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: with Mark Peters. So they're working on these contract negotiations

649
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: are not done by any means and into costas that

650
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: he's working with his agent, Stanley said basically the same thing.

651
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: So that could happen, that a long term deal could

652
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: get worked out before the season. So you know you

653
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: want to keep him. You want to keep him. You

654
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: don't want to lose You don't want to lose one

655
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: of the best players at that position. Well, I think

656
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: for Ronnie, you know, you look at it and you

657
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: you say, well, I'm coming off of fantastic year. I

658
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna get paid a lot of money right

659
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: now if I signed this contract this year and I'm

660
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: not risking injury this following year, you know, I mean,

661
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: what you don't want to do is if your rannie

662
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: is wait another year, like how much how much better

663
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: is that contytract going to get next off season? Then

664
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: the richest you know, left tackle in the in the NFL,

665
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't don't know, you know, I don't I don't

666
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: think there's another left tackle that's gonna necessarily reset the

667
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: market well, Tonsol just said it, right exactly. I'm saying,

668
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: like another one that's coming up next offseason, that's he

669
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: can wait for and see if that guy resets it again. Right.

670
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: I always expected it to come after Tonsol because tons

671
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: Al had all the leverage in the world and that

672
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: the Texans gave up a ton to get him, so

673
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: they had they had to sign him to a long

674
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: term deal. So then Tonslo gets this big contract. So

675
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: now Stanley can point to that and say, well, I'm

676
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: better than this guy, so I gotta be paid more

677
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: than him. Yeah. Yeah, it really goes back. Let's go

678
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: back to the draft, and man, the Ravens are looking good,

679
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 1: you know. I mean there's a lot of talk about

680
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: tunsl and whether he should have been the pick there. Uh,

681
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, and of course there's a lot of talking

682
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: about Jalen Ramsey and Zeke Elliott and all that stuff.

683
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: And the Ravens sit back and they take, you know,

684
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: the the guy out of Notre Dame who wasn't getting

685
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: as much buzz, wasn't as a sex position in air

686
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: quotes all that stuff, and look how it's turned out. Yeah,

687
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine the Ravens kind of had a rotating door,

688
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 1: a revolving door, A little bit at left tackle before

689
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley. Between Jonathan Ogden and Ronnie Stanley. Uh it was,

690
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, and so how much does he stabilize this?

691
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: And the Ravens don't set you know, the records they

692
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: did last year without Ronnie Stanley, that's for darnshore right. Well,

693
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: my guy James Hurst could have stepped in there, you know,

694
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: and Sinus minus James which could congrat Shout out to

695
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: my guy James Hurst, congrats a one year deal with

696
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints St st ST. Come on, man, I

697
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: just think every form of Raven signs with the jetse

698
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: these days. So I just kind of assumed that that's true.

699
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 1: That's true. Uh so, yeah, I was happy to see

700
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: a little sad, a little sad I lost my board

701
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: game buddy, but but happy for him and his wife. Yeah.

702
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: Um So, anyway, if you've been reading these scouting reports,

703
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: you know that AM Trucks their motor trends back to

704
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: back truck of the year. The Ramift is the top pick,

705
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: with an available HEMMI v a engine e torque hybrid

706
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: technology in a twelve inch touchscreen, plus it offers a

707
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: truckload of available features. Same with the hard working Ram

708
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: heavy duty for generous cash allowances and great lease offers.

709
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: Go to Ram dot com take advantage of all the

710
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: great deals going on right now on a great selection

711
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: of Ram trucks. So the other just quick note on

712
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: the salary cap that I'll be curious to see how

713
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: it plays out, is, you know, depending on how this

714
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: year goes with fans or whatever, does that alter a

715
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: future salary cap in terms of the earnings Because the

716
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: salary cap is based on the overall amount of money

717
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: that the league gets UM. And so there that's something

718
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: that's being talked about in basketball and baseball right now.

719
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: Um because because the NBA, for example, is making they're

720
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: not selling tickets to fans in the stands now, the

721
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: amount of money is significantly less, So the pot is

722
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: smaller um. But but doesn't that I mean ticket sales revenue.

723
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: Isn't that for clubs? I mean the league gets a

724
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: lot of its money from its TV deals. It does,

725
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: but it's all shared revenue. It's it's all shared revenue

726
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Mike Lombardi at The Athletic did an

727
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: article about it where he suggested that salary cap could

728
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: see a cut next year. Now, I think that's all speculation,

729
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: and that's you know, um by it's it's way too

730
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: early to say that that's going to be the case. UM.

731
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: But it will be interesting to see if that alters

732
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: any part of a negotiation process or or a planning

733
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: process anything like that. UM. I don't know that's gonna

734
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna happen, but that's just an interesting wrinkle in all

735
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: this for sure, for sure. So with all that said,

736
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, we are obviously paying attention, as a lot

737
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: of you I'm sure out there are, to what's been

738
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 1: happening around the country, UH, with the death of George

739
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: George Floyd and the protests and people stand up and

740
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: speaking out about what's been going on. UM. And now

741
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: I have a lot to say on the topic that UH,

742
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: I think is better for other people to talk about.

743
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: UM and we plan on having some of those conversations

744
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: moving forward, at least we hope to. UH. I hope

745
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: you've all seen the commitment that the Ravens have made.

746
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: Stephen and Renee Bishatti UH and their foundation committed a

747
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: million dollars towards social justice causes, which is just absolutely awesome,

748
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: and I applaud them for doing so. I think it's

749
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: it again makes me proud to work for this organization

750
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: that they're putting their money behind that. Uh. And the

751
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: quote from Ravens owner Steve Baschetti I'll read here. Uh.

752
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing I can say to ease the pain felt

753
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: by African American communities across the country. No words will

754
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: repair the damage that has been done. Like many people,

755
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: I am sickened, disheartened, and shaken by the acts of

756
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: racism that continue to overwhelm our society. The most recent

757
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: killing involving George Floyd, is yet another tragic example of

758
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: the discrimination the African Americans face each day now where

759
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: than ever, we must all strengthen our pursuit of positive

760
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: change as we stand with peaceful protesters around the country.

761
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: We must all seek to understand by listening better and

762
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: learning more. We must all discover new ways to unite.

763
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: We must all work to break the cycle of systematic

764
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: racial injustice. Our players have been and will continue to be,

765
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: at the forefront of this change. We believe in their

766
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: commitment to furthering social justice and invoking me a meaningful change.

767
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: We stand side by side with them in full support.

768
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: It is for this reason that I have asked a

769
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: group of former and current Ravens players to decide which

770
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: organizations should receive proceeds from the one million dollar donation

771
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: we are making today. So once again, huge applause for

772
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: Sivashati for making that financial commitment. And and this isn't

773
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: the first UH commitment along these lines by the Ravens. UM.

774
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: You know, I don't we don't want to spend much

775
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: time sitting here patting ourselves on the back, because that's

776
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: not what this is about. UM. But the Ravens have

777
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: donated given a lot of money to local organizations UH

778
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: at schools, UM, other organizations that are promoting them, you know,

779
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: jobs training programs to help low wage, low skill Baltimore

780
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: City residents, UM, including some that have been through the

781
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: criminal justice system. You know. UH, we gave money two

782
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to borrow Baltimore City Public schools to help

783
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: upgrade the heating and air conditioning units at Lakewood Elementary

784
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: School because we all know we need help with the

785
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: education UH that we see a lot in some of

786
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods. UM. So I think it's just awesome. I

787
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: think that I'm touched by the reference of the systematic

788
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: racial injustice to break that slag. I think that's important,

789
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think one thing that's powerful with it, UH,

790
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot, but UH is the involvement of the

791
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: players in the process. And we'll certainly have more, you know,

792
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: once we know who those players are and who's going

793
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: to be involved in that process. UM. This is something

794
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: that has been there's been basically a social justice group

795
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: of players that have done a variety of things, some

796
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 1: very at the forefront, some behind the scenes, involving meeting

797
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: with politicians, UM, involving just conversations and trying to enact change.

798
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: And UM, I think that it's clear that the Ravens

799
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: have wanted to put UM a lot of involvement. I

800
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: wanted to evolve the players and a lot of this.

801
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: You know that this is basically this is a united

802
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: effort between the organization and the players. UM. And I'll

803
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: be really interested in eager to see UM the current

804
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: former players who are part of that committee and where

805
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: they ultimately decide that those funds will go. And as

806
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: we were, you know, as we've talked about this and

807
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: thought about this, it really brought us back to a conversation.

808
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: Somebody's been really active in this space as Am Koon Bolden. Uh.

809
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: He's part of the Players Cold Listen. He's been very

810
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: outspoken UM and he is he has been a leader

811
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: in this space for the last several years. And when

812
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: we did a podcast with aunt Quon this was back

813
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: during the last season when he returned to retire as

814
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: a Raven number one, yes, number one, seventy six. We

815
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: talked about football in his career. It's it's one of

816
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: my favorite podcast because Ane is one of my favorite

817
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: Ravens of all time by the way, UM, So it

818
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: was a great conversation with him. I think he would

819
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: go enjoy going back and listening to that. UM. But

820
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: one thing we wanted to do is to play a

821
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: snippet of this UH because he is somebody who this

822
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: is a very personal uh conversation for him, UM and

823
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: it has affected his life in a really impactful way.

824
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go ahead and roll part of that podcast. UH.

825
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: In that conversation with An Kuan right now, I want

826
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: to talk about your your post career activism now with

827
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: the Players Coalition and really starting that up, which I

828
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: think is awesome in the work that you're doing. What

829
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: led you down that path? And uh, and can you

830
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: just tell us more about some of the projects that

831
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: you're working on. What you're what you're doing? Yeah, Um,

832
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean the thing that led me down that path

833
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: was actually a tragedy in my family. UM My cousin,

834
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: Corey Jones, who was a drummer in the band. Um,

835
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: he was on his way home from a gig and

836
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: his car broke down on the side of the road.

837
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: Long story short, he was killed by a cock after

838
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: he broke down on the side of the road. And

839
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: just to see what my family went through, UM, it

840
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: was it was devastated. Um. It was tough. Um. But

841
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: we finally got our day in court and after three

842
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: and a half years, the officer was convicted. Right, So

843
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: it was it was, I thought, a moment of justice,

844
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: but it's it also was a sobering moment for me

845
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: because when the officer was convicted, we learned that he

846
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: was the first officer in the state of Florida convicted

847
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: for an on duty shooting in a last thirty years.

848
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: And I thought about how many shootings had happened in

849
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: the state of Florida offers to involved in the last

850
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: thirty years, and you only got one guy that was convicted.

851
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: And I thought about how many, how many families not

852
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: only didn't get you know, their day in court, but

853
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: didn't get justice. And for me, um, you know, I

854
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: didn't want that to happen to any other family. UM,

855
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: you know nowhere. So you know, the work that we're

856
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: doing is not only in Florida, but it's it's nationwide,

857
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: right And the sad part is that, I mean, it's

858
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: obviously still happening still, it's still happening all the time. UM,

859
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: and I you know, I continue. And for me, it's

860
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: not about bashing cops. It's not about anything like that,

861
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: because I'll be the first to tell you you know,

862
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: if something happens, that's the that's you know, that's the

863
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: those are the people that you call, you know, those

864
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: are the people that are sworn to protect and and

865
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: serve us as citizens. But a lot of time sometimes

866
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. And I think that's very unfortunate because

867
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be at our best, you know, the

868
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: community and the police have to work hand in hand,

869
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: and a lot of times you don't see that happening.

870
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: So part of it. You're speaking in an event tonight

871
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: in Baltimore Town and how important are those types of

872
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, activities, Like what you're doing here, man, I

873
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: think it's it's vital um. And I think a lot

874
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: of times stuff happens because we don't know, so like

875
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of take Florida for an example, like

876
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: in Orange County in Orlando, and we had just had

877
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: a forum there as well town hall as well. We

878
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: had two six year old arrested at the forum. No

879
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: like in school, and I have a nine year old

880
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 1: son in the fifte year old son. But I'm thinking

881
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: my nine year old son getting arrested in school. That's crazy,

882
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: Like is mind blowing to me? Or in the state

883
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts, like in Boston, we got this this act

884
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: call raised the age past kids as youngest you know, six, seven,

885
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: eight years old being arrested for things that are going

886
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: on in school. And like when you say that to somebody,

887
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: like it just doesn't sound right. But these are laws

888
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: that are on the books and they happen because we

889
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: as citizens aren't informed about it. We don't know about it,

890
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: and we if you don't know about it, how can

891
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: you hold elected officials responsible for the laws that are

892
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: on the books. So my my thing is to always

893
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: try to educate the public about what's going on. UM

894
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 1: when you talk about uh state attorney's, district attorneys and

895
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: the roles that they play in our communities and the

896
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: power that they possess, or circuit court judges, um, the

897
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: power that they have when it comes to sentencing or

898
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: over sentencing people like, people need to know. And you know,

899
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: when you're talking about shares and all of these people

900
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: are elected officials. So I hate when people say, you know,

901
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: why I didn't vote because my vote won't count. That's

902
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: crap to me, because yeah, we talk about presidential elections

903
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: and all of that, but you need to go vote

904
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: locally because those are the people that are affecting your

905
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: everyday lines. You know, when you talk about, for example,

906
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: if a if a cop, if a shooting, a police

907
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: involved shooting happens, it's on the state attorney or the

908
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: district attorney rather not they're going to prosecute that officer.

909
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: So you're voting that person in. So if I'm voting

910
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,320

Speaker 1: and and trying to see how we can affect change.

938
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: Well really obviously pertinent stuff to our current situation. And uh,

939
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, An Kuan and Kin kind of called it right.

940
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that wasn't going to be the end of

941
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: of these problems, um and unfortunately so, but we can

942
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: all have hope that some of this will improve. And

943
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: I think it's great that players like Ang Kuan and

944
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: other players continue to fight this battle and they need

945
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: a lot more help. So. UH, one other thing I

946
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: wanted to mention that I forgot, you know, and talking

947
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: about the Ravens efforts previous uh in this space was

948
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: a five year, one point five million dollar partnership with

949
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: up to US Sports UH in which the Ravens UH

950
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: they it enabled them to launch It's a Mara Corps

951
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: program in Baltimore, which seems to hire, train, and support

952
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,240

954
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,319
