1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We are here

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: to talk about football school. It's been a while since,

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: its been a hot minute since you were I were

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: in school. But right now we're in football scootball school,

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: yes kind of, we're watching football school.

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not in it.

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: We're not in it, but you know, here to give

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: you our takeaways. This is kind of the not the

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: first step of the process of the off season that

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: really starts the kind of the strength and conditioning program.

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: This is like step two.

12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Where they take it to the field and uh, you know,

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: there's no offense versus defense, there's no one on one matchups,

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: there's no anything of that. But we're getting you see

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: players running routes on air and some of that stuff,

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: so you start to get a little bit of a

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: feel for what could be. Uh So we're gonna break

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: that all down and give you kind of our first

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: first first first impressions.

20
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, ok see, and then honestly, I mean look in

21
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: terms of what's happening on the field, just to kind

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: of give you a perspective, like they're they're not even

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: in uniform numbers right now, they're.

24
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: I'm having a hard time. I honestly, some guys.

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: Called the reporters like, who is that over there? Seriously,

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: it's kind of far, you know, so like we're not

27
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: going to overstate like what we're seeing on the field

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: in terms of what that football action about the season

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: and who's winning the left guard spot based on what

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: we've seen from one day of football.

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: So, the hottest competition so far that I saw was

32
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: the get off drill for the defensive linemen and linebackers

33
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: out to the linebakers. You know, coach stands there, both

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: hands out to his side, and it's who can get

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage and tap his hand first?

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: Who can slap his hand?

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: It was getting spicy.

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: It was brody Broderick Washington had some trash stalk going on.

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: He and Jeremiah Moon met in the finals. I even

40
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: saw did you notice the assist coach was running the drill?

41
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Did a fake little interview, got a SoundBite from each

42
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: one of them.

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: Some of the reporters, Hey, guys, come on over seriously.

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Before the championship match there, Jeremiah Moon won, All right,

45
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think he's in store for Pro Bowl season.

46
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: Now we can say that.

47
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, there's just not a ton to

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: say for the football action, but we've heard from guys

49
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: and stuff, so kind of look at it all that.

50
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you can get a sense in hearing

51
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: from We've had a chance now to hear from all

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: the coordinators over the past two weeks, yep, and also

53
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: some of the players, and so you can get a

54
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: feel for what's happening both on the field and behind

55
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: the scenes. The classroom work is a really important component

56
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: of all this. So we do want to give you

57
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: our takeaways from that. So you know, one thing, I

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: guess just to start it off, I'll start with today

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 2: and what we saw out there today. And I think

60
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: that as it stands right now, my eyes are a

61
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: little bit more focused on the defense because you have

62
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: more of your defensive starters here. On the offensive side,

63
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: you don't have many offensive starters really here, so you

64
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: have some more veteran defensive players here. And so yeah,

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: I did final drive today on ro Kwan Smith and

66
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: Marlin Humphrey, who were two of the leaders of this team,

67
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: as their kind of like you can you can feel

68
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: them here, like you can see them. They're they're leaders.

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: You can they bring energy and I think they're kind

70
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: of setting the tone for the defense side of the ball,

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: and you know, they expect to be one of the

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: best defenses in the league and carry on. Like at

73
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: the end of last year, the defense was really good,

74
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: really good, and those two players were really playing at

75
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: a high level. And I think they want to build

76
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: that build on that game.

77
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: Said that.

78
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, you know, we kind of turned it

79
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: on at the midway point last year. And obviously the

80
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: addition of Roquan Smith was a factor in that big factor.

81
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: And now you know, you think about how well Roquand

82
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: played last year, Well, now you know you signed the

83
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: big extension, right, become the highest paid linebacker in football,

84
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: insidelinebacker and football, and you know, you go into an

85
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: off season now saying kind of, all right, I'm the

86
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm the leader in the middle of this defense, and

87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: what kind of impact can I have now with a

88
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: full offseason of him getting used to the guys, them

89
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: getting used to him, and kind of all getting on

90
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: the same page from the very beginning, what kind of

91
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: defense can we be from the jump?

92
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: Right?

93
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: And so it is really good to see him and

94
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Marlin and you know, even some other veterans, defensive players,

95
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you saw Mark you seeing got

96
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: out there, Michael Pierce, justin Adabikue, you know, going into

97
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: year four, Brent Urban, Brock Washington, like we mentioned, so

98
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: you know a Jabo you know is year two, but

99
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: like you know, he's in a big position.

100
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Adaowa year three.

101
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: So it's good to see a lot of those defensive

102
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: starters and projecting starters out there.

103
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I want to touch on a job

104
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: on an O way here in a second. The other thing,

105
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: I would say that to the point about the defense

106
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: kind of ascending at the end of the season, they

107
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: had They had bumps early on in the year, as

108
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: we know last year, and they kind of ascended at

109
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: the end. The addition to rookwand Smith was no small

110
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: part of that, but it does go beyond him.

111
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: I think part of.

112
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: It was learning the system. And Mike did talk this

113
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: week about like if you go back to last year,

114
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 2: at this time, they were going through a transition in

115
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: terms of the system, and so the Voks tabulary was

116
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: much different. And it's always you know, I feel like

117
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: last year like sometimes that stuff gets downplayed, but then

118
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: like a year removed. It's like, well, yeah, there was.

119
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: It was a transition, like guys were running a new system, no.

120
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Excuses when you're the bullets are flying when you're in

121
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: the middle of season, and they're like, yeah, but it's

122
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: the first year, you know, new defensive coordinator. There's gonna

123
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: be some communication laps. Is you just don't say that, yeah,

124
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: of course, right, but there are they happen.

125
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, And like.

126
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: We saw that, especially the Miami game comes to mind,

127
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: you know. And it was also finding some guy's best

128
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: fits in the system. Where does Kyle Hamilton fit best,

129
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: you know as a rookie. That role will probably change

130
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: this year, ye, in the second year, but like that

131
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: was part of the process earlier last year too.

132
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. I got the sense from Mike that he just

133
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: feels like, now that the system is in place, now

134
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: you can just like kind of add on top, Like

135
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: the foundation's there, the house is built. Now you can

136
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: work on, uh, decorating, decorating, you know, you can put

137
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: the pictures up on the wall and stuff like that.

138
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: Like the house is there, the foundation is in place,

139
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: and I think that the defense is going to be

140
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: really good. And I just you know, you mentioned Kyle Hamilton,

141
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: and it's early so a lot of the stuff will

142
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: be figured out. But like, one of the things that

143
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: I love about Mike is that he just I think

144
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: he is creative and molds his system to the players

145
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: that he has and wants to put guys, wants to

146
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: get the best eleven guys on the field as much

147
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: as possible. And that's what he did last year with

148
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton and basically found that nickel role for him.

149
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: Will they still use him in that role this year?

150
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: I don't think as much.

151
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Well, he talked about to you know, you asked him

152
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: about do you expect to play with as many three

153
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: safety looks as often with three safeties as he did

154
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: last year? And he kind of was like, you know,

155
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: possibly not, maybe not, We don't know. It all depends

156
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: on kind of the personnel. You know, there's been buzz

157
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: about Adrian Amos. If he comes aboard, well then you

158
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: probably will use him more, you know, and use more

159
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: three safety looks. If not, then you're probably using more

160
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: of a traditional nickel corner as opposed to a big

161
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, as opposed to Kyle Hamilton safety in that role.

162
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: You know. But yeah, and even speaking to your point

163
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: about versatility and and you know, guys playing in different

164
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: positions and whatnot. You know, I asked some kind of

165
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: how do you replace, for lack of a better word,

166
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Kalais Campbell, who's irreplaceable in many aspects.

167
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: But you know his answer was.

168
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Again kind of a rotation, you know, and like versatile

169
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: players playing them in different roles. Maybe you have an

170
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: outside linebacker who you know, kind of goes down hand

171
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: in his dirt and the dirt kind of guy reduces

172
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: unpassing situations and rushes from the inside. And then you

173
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: have maybe Kyle Ilson on the edge basically in that situation, Like,

174
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different options. Obviously the young defensive

175
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: lineman will kind of rotate and be part of that,

176
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: and just more opportunities for Broderck Washington, Travis Jones and

177
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: Justin Mattabikue even to get after the passer. You know,

178
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: you think Kalais Campbell is a guy who finished.

179
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: Third and sex right team last year or something.

180
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: Like that, I mean had a tick up the sec

181
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: production last year. Well, those pass rush opportunities are going

182
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: to somebody else. So justin Matta b Kay, I think

183
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Matt A BK finished second. The stats in front of me,

184
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a BK finished second, and so like,

185
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: what can he do with more pass rush opportunities?

186
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: You pulling it up? BK was second. I think it

187
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: was justin Houston and Patrick Queen.

188
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: Was it.

189
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: We'll see here all right.

190
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: All right?

191
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: Uh so you know, like what can Bradock Washing was

192
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: like one of the more bigger pleasant surprises on the

193
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: defense last year, played at a very strong season. Like

194
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna get more opportunities.

195
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: So, uh, Mike will.

196
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: Be kind of creative in who they plug into that spot.

197
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: It's not going to be like, all right, Travis Jones,

198
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: you're next man up, your starter, You're just gonna play

199
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: the kalayist role.

200
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: It's gonna be kind of by rotation.

201
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: And also think outside the box, like having outside linebacker

202
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: playing in that spot and then you know, somebody else

203
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: kind of stepping into the outside linebacker role, whether that's

204
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: a corner of safety something like that.

205
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I agree, I think that. You know. Also,

206
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: by the way, just a little promo here, go check

Speaker 3: There.

213
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: I was, all right, so justin Houston nine and a half, yep,

214
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: Madam bk kalayis tied with five and a half and

215
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: then Patrick Queen at five.

216
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: See there you go.

217
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: So I had that flip, but yeah, Mattam k Kalais

218
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: and then Patrick Queen was at five. Yeah, so we'll

219
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: see how I think. I mean, look, I think you

220
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: want to start talking about Oway and a Jabo here.

221
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that those two guys there's a

222
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: lot on their shoulders this year, and I think that

223
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: they recognize that and they feel that.

224
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: When we're talking about sacks, we're.

225
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 2: Talking about sacks and those are the players who the

226
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: Ravens expect to get the most. Yeah, And they drafted

227
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: a Jabo in the second round, first round talent had

228
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: it not been for the injury, And they drafted o'dafa

229
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: Oa in the first round. Like, those are the guys

230
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: that have coming off the edge who they want to

231
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: get to the quarterback and like they they realize they

232
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: need to get to the quarterback Justin Houston's not here

233
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: right now. Who knows if that.

234
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: Changes reports of significant interest from multiple teams.

235
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: So he may have, you know, his option to choose

236
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: from it coming off of mo like being like.

237
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll just bring back Justin Houston at some point,

238
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: and like maybe they do.

239
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 3: You know, I kind of hope so, but maybe they don't. Yeah, right, And.

240
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: If they don't, like the storyline of a lot being

241
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: on a job Ona's shoulders, and obviously Tyas Bowser, who

242
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: was one of the leading sack guys before his achilles

243
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: tear two years ago, well there's gonna be a lot

244
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: on theirs on those shoulders if that happened.

245
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: What did you think in hearing from the two of

246
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: them today.

247
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think confidence dudes who are ready to

248
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: have a kind of a breakout year, you know.

249
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: I think that Oay like was learned from his second year.

250
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, he called it kind of a learning year, yep,

251
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: Like it was kind of had to deal with opponents

252
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: knowing more about out him and having a better plan

253
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: for him. And we've seen that from guys even in

254
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: years past. Sadarius Smith, I point to Sadarius Smith when

255
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: he I've referenced to a lot of stats that I

256
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: wish I had just had right this year. His first

257
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: season in the league, had like six sacks. See now,

258
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: I want to get it. I want to get it.

259
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: And then his rookie year.

260
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: It really dropped off, like say, his second year, I'm sorry,

261
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: his second year. So his rookie year he had five

262
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: and a half sacks. Second year one sack yep.

263
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Right, then he turned third year three and a half

264
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: and then up to eight and a half, thirteen half,

265
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: Like then he broke out right, So like, it's not

266
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: it's not unheard of for a pass rusher to kind

267
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: of be a situational guy as rookie. You know, they say, basically,

268
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: go get the quarterback. And then year two there's more

269
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: on your plate and it's a little bit of a

270
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: harder adjustment and opponents know you more and all that.

271
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: And you know, Mike McDonald said that Adape did a

272
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: lot of.

273
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: Good things on the field.

274
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't like it's a it was a lost year

275
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. But there's no doubt that,

276
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: like this is a big year three for him. Just

277
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: like we were talking about with Patrick Queen last offseason.

278
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: This is a big year three for Adolphie Oway. I

279
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: think he recognizes that and like feels good about the

280
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: direction that he's going.

281
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, oh way. The thing with Oway, I

282
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: think part of it was as a rookie, like he

283
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: had a he had a good rookie season. You know,

284
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: he had five sacks, and you saw those flashes and

285
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: you feel like, Okay, this is guy his life game

286
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: on the ascent, you know, and like star potential first

287
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 2: round pick.

288
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: And like training camp, we were all predicting double digit

289
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: sacks for the Yeah.

290
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: Everyone like if you go listen to the season predictions podcast.

291
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: I think both of us said that he might leave

292
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: the team of sacks, yes, and so it didn't happen.

293
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: He had three sacks last year and so he called

294
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: it a learning year. And I thought it was interesting

295
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: both you know, him and a Jabo and Mike McDonald

296
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: talked you know about Chuck Smith doctor Rush.

297
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: I praise for doctor Rush.

298
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: Doctor Rush, the new outside linebackers coach. They spoke really

299
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 2: highly of him, the perspective that he's bringing. You know,

300
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: he's got experience as a player and also you know,

301
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: it is basically this technician of helping guys get to

302
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: the quarterback. That's where the doctor rush nickname comes from.

303
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: And so based on early you know, the early indication

304
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: is that the players are really high on what he's

305
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: bringing in that regard. Yeah, now, of course you got

306
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: to bring it to the field, and it's still football school,

307
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: like we said at the top, but they think that.

308
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: Like you know, Oway talked about how he just got

309
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: some like really nuanced ideas on like the pass rush front,

310
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: and that part of that comes from his knowledge as

311
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: a player and.

312
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: Pretty clear also, like you know, when asked like what

313
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: areas of your game do you feel like you need

314
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: to improve on? Oftentimes you'll get kind of just to

315
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: cliche everything or like something and like anafiahway, like always

316
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: like three very specific things, you know, like my rip

317
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: when I'm coming off of the block, My balance wasn't good,

318
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: So I need to like work on this, like you know,

319
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: like pretty specific stuff that he's attacking. Always he's a

320
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: thoughtful player, Yes, he's I always enjoyed talking to that. Yeah, yeah,

321
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: he's he's a really thoughtful guy and player, and you

322
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: know he it might have been Donald talked about like

323
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: his approach this offseason that like kind of him getting

324
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: after it and the work that he's putting in, Like

325
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: he's impressed fit both.

326
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: Those guys, Like a Jabo went back to Scotland for

327
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: a little bit right after the season ended, but he's

328
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: been in here like even before the players were back

329
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: here for the start of the offseason program. Like he's

330
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: been in the building when it's just like one or

331
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: two guys here yep. And he's been working really hard

332
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: behind the scenes.

333
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: He put on some weight, put on ten pounds of muscle,

334
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: he said.

335
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: So when we're talking about both those guys, like a

336
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Jabo to me is just kind of like radiant, you

337
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: know right now, Like you just really get the feeling

338
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: that he's like in a good place, that he feels good.

339
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: As good as long as you don't bring up the Achilles.

340
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well that's part of it.

341
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Is kind of like he's like that is in the past,

342
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: that is history, the Achilles and all that stuff, Like

343
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't eve want to talk about that stuff, you know,

344
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: Like it's all like size forward and like feels really

345
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: good about the position that he's in physically that like

346
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: he's full go from the Achilles. There's no remaining aspects

347
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: of that in any way physically and mentally in a

348
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: good spot. You know, feels like, you know, he obviously

349
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: knew that he was going to miss all of or

350
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: much of, you know, much of his rookie season. Now

351
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: I think that he thought, you know, I remember John

352
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Harball saying like, oh yeah, Joba thinks he's got to

353
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: be back out there week six or whatever, right, And

354
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: like he ultimately was practicing but wasn't active for games,

355
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: and like they really kind of took their time with him, right,

356
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: but and did not want to rush him back. And

357
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: that's frustrating, Like that's got to be. That's tough, tough

358
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: for any player, like coming back and basically losing a

359
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: full season, especially if you feel like you really want

360
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: to contribute and you feel like like I can and whatnot,

361
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: and you're just not getting on the field. He basically

362
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: played one game. Yeah, he played in three and had

363
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: like two snaps in two of them.

364
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: Uh huh. And so.

365
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: You know, I think from a mental.

366
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Standpoint, like now seeing what lies ahead in the position

367
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: that he's in that he's going to be relied on,

368
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, physically feeling good, like he's just

369
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: seems like he's in a really good place.

370
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean physically, he said, he's one hundred and

371
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: ten percent. And so like when someone you know, after

372
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: like the you know, an.

373
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: Extra ten percent makes a big dealp Yes, extra.

374
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: Ten After like the fourth question about the injury, he's like, honestly,

375
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't even like when people bring it up anymore. Yeah,

376
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm looking ahead, like you said, I'm healthy, Like I'm

377
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: good to go. And so like sometimes you hear guys

378
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: say like, you know, last year and never really felt

379
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: right and I'm still working on my way back and

380
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: stuff like that, Like he does not seem like a

381
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: guy who is still finding his way and like working

382
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: through it. He seems like he's healthy and he feels

383
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: good and he's ready to go. And so I definitely

384
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: think that there, you know, there's gonna be a lot

385
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: on him. And also like part of the reason for

386
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: and Mike McDonald also talked about this, like part of

387
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: the reason that he was inactive down the stretch a

388
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: lot was he's working his way back, So like, you know,

389
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: there's the physical component, but also the Ravens had Justin

390
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: Houston and Jason Pierre Paul Anti Spouser Andadapao way, so

391
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: like who are you sitting down in that mix? And

392
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: like a Java was an unknown, Like he's like, all right, well,

393
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: this guy has never played, he's coming off a torn achilles.

394
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: We're basically in this playoff hunt.

395
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: We're not You're gonna go with the guy who's leading

396
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: the team in sacks, well exactly.

397
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: Or like Jason Pierre Paul, like a veteran who's been there,

398
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: he's been in Super Bowls and like you're like, you

399
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna go with him because I know

400
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: it's more of a proven commodity at that point last year,

401
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: and so like as much as I'm sure they wanted

402
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: to get more snaps for a Jabo, it was difficult

403
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: to find the opportunity to do so.

404
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that just like all around physically

405
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: when you're coming off that injury, Like sure, maybe your

406
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: achilles is healed, you're clear to play, yeah yeah, but

407
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: like physically there's just such an all around difference from

408
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: year one to year two.

409
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: Well that was like also what he said, he said,

410
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: yes he's added to wait now, but he lost weight

411
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: when he was dealing with the achilles, because like you

412
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: can't move around. You can't, Yeah, you can't work out.

413
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: I always go back. I remember see Smith talking about

414
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: how you had this like his normal calf and his

415
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: baby calf.

416
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 3: He like, I thought you aunch of Harves this quote

417
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 3: about his beach legs.

418
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: Oh, let's go to Jaba. Was the beach legs are gone? Yeah,

419
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: he's are mountain climbing.

420
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so I look, I'm excited about the two

421
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: those guys.

422
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,919

437
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: few less to talk about here because less of the

438
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: big players we would talk about mostly are on the field, right. Uh,

439
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: you know Lamar's not out there, JK, Gus, Andrews, batemanj

440
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: really the entire starting line except for Linderbaum, right or

441
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: not out there.

442
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I get the carries.

443
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: He'd be in here, so he could end up as

444
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: a litle starting left guard.

445
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: That's just the yep, yep, yep, very true, thank you.

446
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: So, you know, in all honesty, I think it makes

447
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: it a little more difficult for Todd Munkin to really

448
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: get like sink his teeth into installing the offense.

449
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the facts, right.

450
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's said last week he's happy about the

451
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: eyes you are here and excited about the guys you

452
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: were here, but some guys aren't and so like now

453
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: OTAs hopefully you cross your fingers that they're here. You know,

454
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: we're still in the voluntary portion of football school. It's

455
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: all voluntary, so the Ravens, of course, coaches always want

456
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: players to be here. That's just how it is for

457
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: every coach in the league. But it is what it is, right,

458
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: You make the best of what the situation presents itself.

459
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: And it's voluntary.

460
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: That's just what it is.

461
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: So you know, he the the offense is getting a

462
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: lot of plays in. Like you can see the tempo

463
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, like you see kind of Todd

464
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Monkin like, all right, we're gonna we're gonna work some

465
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: tempo here, even though it's like we're installing a playbook,

466
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: like we're gonna start working it, you know.

467
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: And uh, the biggest takeaway from me save flowers. Mhm,

468
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: save flowers.

469
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: One day you've seen one day of say flowers and action.

470
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: The rookies were not here last week. They are here

471
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: this week. So one day of say flowers, and your

472
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 2: takeaway is what.

473
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Well, he was already my guy and now he's like

474
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: even more my guys. Okay, all right, so I'm just

475
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm just plant my flag. If you didn't know my

476
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: flag was planted.

477
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: This is this is this is the overcompensate. You're still

478
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: salty that I nailed him in the mox, so you

479
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: have to overcompensate. And now just like my guys, A,

480
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: my guys, A, my guys say even though I nailed

481
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: it in.

482
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: The mock you got as of said, Okay, so it's

483
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: my guy, and after seeing him on the field even

484
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: more my guy. The flag is firmly planted, my friend. Well,

485
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: so don't you come around all right? You're second on

486
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: the bus. No, okay, I'm driving the bus.

487
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Uh huh uh. You know, this is kind of I

488
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: don't think he's going to be doing this, but he's

489
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: But I like this. He's fluid catching punts. Like I

490
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 2: don't expect him to be the punt returner. Yeah, Devin

491
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: du I would expect to be the punt return Okay,

492
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: but like I just I like when a player is

493
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: back there confident. To me, that just shows his like

494
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: ability to like be confident catching the football and fluid,

495
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: and like when they put him back there, he looks

496
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: pretty natural doing it. So like, again, that's not something

497
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: he's going to be doing, but I think that that

498
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: is a good sign for just him and his transition.

499
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: Well, what really stuck out stuck out to me was

500
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: like his feet are so good, Like he is such

501
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: quick feet and so the last I think it was

502
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: like the last play of practice today, it was like

503
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: a ten or fifteen yard comeback basically, And granted they're

504
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: running routes on like against like air air and like

505
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: scout like me and you wearing these big hideous jerseys

506
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: and like scouting interns and coaching interns and stuff right

507
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: like or just like standing back there like.

508
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: During this port, just the listeners know, like there's no

509
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: there's no one offense on defense or no one on once.

510
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it's none of that stuff. So you know

511
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: he's running it on air.

512
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: But like the way he broke off that route, like

513
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: the coaching intern who kind of is like shadowing or whatever.

514
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: It was like ten yards off. You know, like just

515
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: he would have destroyed your ankles.

516
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: He would have just murdered an I hope he would.

517
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: I hope If Zay Flowers couldn't destroy my ankles and

518
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: running route, then we got problems.

519
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: It was impressive, like how quick he broke that snap

520
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: that off and like just his feet like in like

521
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: kind of getting his feet under him in just catching

522
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: the ball like it's subtle, but like turning up field

523
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: and the balance that he has and getting his feet

524
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: in the right position to like as soon as he

525
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: catches the ball, he's like up field, he's moving right, Like,

526
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: I just thought it was impressive.

527
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it looked good. And like I said,

528
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: the punt, the punt returning thing, like he's not gonna

529
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: be doing it, I don't think. But I just like

530
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 2: a guy who's confident catching the football wherever it is,

531
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: if it's on punts, if it's on if his receiver,

532
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: Like that's something that I like to see. So I

533
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: thought that was encouraging.

534
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: All right, So who's winning the left guard?

535
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: It's well, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

536
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: the other the other thing that Actually, Nelson Aguilar was

537
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: here today and something that like that stood out to me,

538
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: Like Nelson Aguilar physically looks the part of what you

539
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: like and wide receiver, Like he's a big guy, and

540
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 2: the Ravens don't have a big receiving corps for stat

541
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: Bateman's not been out there, so like Bateman's a bigger guy.

542
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: But like Agalar in comparison to do for Ze, Flowers,

543
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: Tylan Wallace, James Prochet, that's the other guys who are

544
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: out there of the receiving car, Agilaar is a much

545
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: bigger guy in that mix.

546
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: Yes, but what's Ze get the comparisons here when you're

547
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: talking about six foot one ninety eight guy being so big.

548
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: No, it's not like he's like Julio Jones out there.

549
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, like he's a bigger bodied wide

550
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: receiver in comparison to the rest of that group, And

551
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: the Ravens don't have a very especially right now without Bateman,

552
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: without Odell Beckham Junior here, it's.

553
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 3: Just like Odell's five to eleven.

554
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: Well, I know I'm saying, but like there's eight. Yeah,

555
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: a Babiman is a bigger body receiver. Yeah, I'm just

556
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: saying with Agilar, like he in comparison to the rest

557
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: of those guys, like he is a he looks.

558
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: He looks good.

559
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like he looks like a bigger receiver

560
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: who can go up and make some, you know, some

561
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: good catches. And I think that we've kind of forgotten

562
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 2: about him.

563
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: You just watching him standing next to his day. Yeah,

564
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like this guy's a giant.

565
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: No it's not a giant, but he like he's a

566
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: bigger receiver like the Ravens don't have, especially with the

567
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: guys here here right now, a big receiving corps. And

568
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: so like I think we've kind of forgotten about Nelson

569
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: Aguilar a little bit, and like I don't expect him

570
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: to be a thousand yard receiver this year, but like

571
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: the Ravens have said on multiple occasions, like, don't forget

572
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: we also signed Nelson Aguilar here, and I think that

573
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 2: he could end up being a pretty important piece of

574
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: this offense.

575
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I agree, And this isn't a takeaway from

576
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: practice or anything, but like Nelson Aguilar does not have

577
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: to be the dude here, no, right, Like he does

578
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: not have to be a fourth receiver, and like whenever

579
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: in his career he doesn't have to be the dude.

580
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: He's been very good. Yeah, and so yeah, I think

581
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 3: he can, like definitely.

582
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's like DeMarcus Robinson was wide receiver one

583
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: last year, right, Like if if he is the DeMarcus

584
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: Robinson of this year, as you're number four, you're in

585
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: good shape, right, like I think and obviously the big

586
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: play potential, like that's what he's really here for. It's

587
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: not a high volume guys wide receiver four. But can

588
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: you make some plays over the top? Can you threaten?

589
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Can you stretch defenses?

590
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 3: Like yes?

591
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: And I agree with you that, like he looks the

592
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: part of like he looks tuned up, like he looks

593
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: like a veteran wide receiver. Like I'm like, who's that guy,

594
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: Oh Nelson Aguilar, Yeah, sign me up. I'll take him

595
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: on my team.

596
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: Sure, exactly, And like he's the veteran as of tour

597
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: was out there today. You know, it's a you know

598
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: Devin DuVernay too. You know, it's like kind of a

599
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: multi year guy, you know, going to his fourth year.

600
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: But so I liked what I saw from him and

601
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: limited you know, limited action. Also, I want to go

602
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: back to what you just We heard from Todd munkin

603
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: last week, So he talked with reporters last week, and

604
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 2: so that was a chance to just kind of hear

605
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: from him about how the install process is going and

606
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: what he thinks and how he wants to use these guys.

607
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: And we also heard from Devon Duverne, and Duverne was

608
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: glowing in his commentary around among his offense, like he

609
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 2: feels like it's going to be a perfect fit for

610
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: this receiving corpse. So I thought that was encouraging to

611
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: hear and like.

612
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good fit. It's kind of one

613
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: thing sorry to cut you off.

614
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: Is I think it's gonna be a good fit for

615
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: Devin Duverney too, Like there hasn't been a lot of

616
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: buzz about Devin Duvernet as an offensive weapon because of

617
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: all these other guys, Like we just got down saying

618
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: Nelson Aguilar's wider res here before.

619
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 3: Where's that leave Devon DuVernay?

620
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: Right, But like Todd Munkin used a lot of like

621
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: jet sweet motion, preset motion, like that kind of stuff

622
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: like suits Devin Dubernet pret darn well, yeah, talking about

623
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: a speedy guy. I mean, Devin Downey is one of

624
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: the fastest players on the team. He might be, right,

625
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Todd Munkin, once speeding is his offense, Like I know that,

626
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Like Devin Duverne, you know, once he became like a

627
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: starter once Bateman Nick went down, like his numbers, he

628
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: got off to a hot start and his numbers trailed

629
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: off and then he got injured. Offensively, right, he kind

630
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: of like did not have a ton of production from

631
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: the midpoint on. But like I've always said, like I

632
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: like when that guy has ball in his hands, Yeah,

633
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: totally right, Like he makes plays and like I don't

634
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: know that he's again gonna be a high volume guy.

635
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: But like, as kind of a compliment to Nelson Aguilar as, like,

636
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: these are guys that have traits that like when they

637
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: get an opportunity, they can do something with it. Devin

638
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Dunet is one of those guys, and I think that

639
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: Todd Monkins offense will suit him well.

640
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what he said over and over again is like,

641
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: get guys the ball in space. He was asked about

642
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: the spread offense last week, and he didn't really like

643
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: dive into like, ah, I'm running a full spread offense now,

644
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 2: but like I just he wants to find creative ways

645
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: to get the ball into the hands of his playmakers. Yep,

646
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: Devin Duvernet is one of those guys. There's a bunch

647
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: of them with the additions of the Ravens that made

648
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: this offseason. The other big takeaway I heard in listening

649
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: to Monkin is he was asked about quarterback run and

650
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: the design run game, which has been a huge piece

651
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: of this offense. I mean, that's been kind of a

652
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: calling card of Greg Roman's offenses throughout his career, and

653
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: it sure sounds like there's gonna be less of that

654
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: with Todd Monkin.

655
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: Like that there will be he wants to take less

656
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: burden on Lamar Jackson. Yes, like when you have all

657
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: these weapons, then there's less burden on one player to

658
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of carry the load.

659
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: Now, like you're not going to coach that out of him.

660
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: They're not gonna say, Lamar never run, never run. We

661
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: don't want to, you know, like that's one of the

662
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: things that makes him such a great player.

663
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I think there's the scrambling is not going to change, yes,

664
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: And Lamar even told us that, right, it's like, yeah,

665
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: if I'm looking downfield and there's nobody open, and like

666
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: I have an opportunity to scramble, Like that's when you're

667
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna see highlights like start up the highlight.

668
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 3: Film, you know.

669
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: And but like Lamari said it to us, like running

670
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: backs do the running, you know, like called runs, Like

671
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: I think they're going to shade more towards that's a handoff, Yeah,

672
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: and not as much of the quarterback design.

673
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: Run that's I think there that will still happen.

674
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: Toddmunkin, you know sitts In Bennett ram for ten touchdowns

675
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: last year, Like it will be a part of the

676
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: Ravens offensive playbook. Absolutely, you will see the called quarterback run,

677
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: but I think certainly a lot less than Greg Rouman did.

678
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: For example, you know when the Ravens set the rushing

679
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: record against the Broncos with a Lamar Jackson run.

680
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the last play. I don't think you'll see.

681
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: That from Yeah, I don't think you're gonna see that.

682
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 3: I think will be a happy man.

683
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I just think it's gonna be

684
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: far far less, far less. All right, we have some

685
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: emails here. As always, you can email us the lounge

686
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: at Ravens at NFL dot net. You know, the schedule

687
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: came out last week. We did our schedule draft, our

688
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: travel draft yep. And as always, we get more emails

689
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: about the draft than we do anything we actually talk

690
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: about related to the Ravens. I wonder if we should

691
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: just do drafts every week and then make the Ravens

692
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: comment content like secondary. But I'll give you. I'll give

693
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: you the win. Yep. Yes, I'll give you the win.

694
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: The emails have come in and the response is pretty

695
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: one sided. I'll admit, yeah, a lot. Yeah. This email

696
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: from Riley Mink's first dub is the subject line congrats

697
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: to Ryan he got his first Dub. He doesn't win

698
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: many drafts. I'll give it to him, but he won

699
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: this one England and not the Christmas game. Plus Scared

700
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: took a preseason game in the third round. Come on,

701
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Big Doves, so uh he said he loved that episode.

702
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: That's the email from him. This email from Alec Manke

703
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: with the Dubs is the subject line, make a man

704
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: of the people and a kindred spirit. Spirit definitely wins

705
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: his draft. He masterfully played the board, grabbing elite games

706
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: like at Cincinnati and at Steelers in the later rounds

707
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: by exporting Garrett's travel location bias. Seriously, EDC would be

708
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: proud of how we navigate the word. I mean, I'm

709
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: just saying that the location is just you know, as

710
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: you're building out your board, that's a pretty important piece

711
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: of the equation here.

712
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: You over compensated though, you were like you like went

713
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: big on like the combine testing.

714
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: You know that was you for the location. You just

715
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: trying to get to the beach. I just talked about

716
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: the beach legs.

717
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: Uh all right, this one from Jacob, you know this

718
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: is a this is a slight bounce back for me.

719
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: He says, I'm a huge fan of lounge. I've been

720
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: listening forever. I just listened to the schedule release pod.

721
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: He's from Richmond, Virginia, and he thinks it would be

722
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: so cool to visit the Bay Area on Christmas. Thank you, Jacob.

723
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: My dad's huge forty nine Ers fan. The Christmas robbery. Okay,

724
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: so so that's not really you know, personal piece. Isn't

725
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: The point here that we need to focus on is

726
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: that he says it would be great to visit that.

727
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: So that's that's that's a win for me. Okay. I

728
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: got one email he said that was the steal of

729
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: the draft. That was a steal the draft. The other

730
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: thing too, he does point this out. He said the

731
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: London game was a clear cut number one pick, So

732
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: really I was really in a bind.

733
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: Rock Papers Deciety.

734
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: Was also it's a two fer. You get the London

735
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: game and you don't get the Christmas.

736
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: Game exactly exactly this one. So you you know where

737
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: you really loved it.

738
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Is like you could have had the preseason game that

739
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: you wanted and still taking your pick of Steelers or

740
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: I think it was Pittsburgh or Cleveland, huh, and you

741
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: like just let me have the pick by taking the

742
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: preseason game early it was just a major air.

743
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's only one game and beach life best

744
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: beach life for me. This email from John says I

745
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: definitely think Ryan won the draft because he got the

746
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: London game, although Garret can claim his choices are more

747
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: patriotic for sticking in the United States. So, and then

748
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: the last one here is from Pat. You got the

749
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: win on the Dubs game. You know, Dubs game. You

750
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: go through every gubes, every game on the schedule. I

751
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: think it's pretty accurate. Although I hate to say it,

752
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: but I think the Ravens will likely subject to at

753
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: some point for a home game. I see you're split

754
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: with the Bengals, but probably another team catches the Raves

755
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: off guard at some point, perhaps the Lions coming to

756
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: town after the game in London. That's a difficult game.

757
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: I don't want it to happen, but I think it's

758
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: possible for the Raves to come out flat at one

759
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: pm after a big London game. So it's just, uh,

760
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: you know that that that game is challenging.

761
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: So if we're going worst case scenario, should we what

762
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: were we at? We had two losses before she.

763
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: Was fifteen and two, so fourteen and three, maybe worse.

764
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 3: Fourteen and three.

765
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: Worst case, Well that that that game against Detroit, it

766
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: will be a tough game. I mean the London travel

767
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: there and back is tough. Although it's not that different

768
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 2: than the West Coast realistically for the Ravens as an

769
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: East Coast team, Like it's not like you're Seattle making

770
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: an eleven hour flight, like it's it's a six hour flight,

771
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: you know, and so like that's not that different than

772
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: the flight back from I think that Actually, I think

773
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: that coming back from San Francisco on Christmas night and

774
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: landing at like seven o'clock in the morning, six o'clock
