1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: I want to be the best. You know, when I 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: say that, I say that, you know, humbly, I really do. 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: I want to be the best tight end. You know, 4 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. There's a lot of things I 5 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,159 Speaker 1: have to work on. It was way different from my 6 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: first year. And you know, I had Jalen Ramsey following 7 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: me around the whole game. You know, I'm I'm a 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: tight end. You know, why is he ever me the 9 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: whole game? So obviously it's had some you know, a 10 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: few choice words and says some things. But I let 11 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: us slide because the scoreboard with how many times have 12 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: you talked about frozen pizza on the podcast before yesterday? 13 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: Any ever? Zero? Never? You've talked about peanut butter a 14 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: thousand times. You've not stopped talking about peanut butter. You 15 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: talked to the team president about peanut butter, on and 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: on about peanut butter. That should be a win for me, 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: right there, No no welcome into the lounge. We have 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: a big time, big time guest. We got a pro bowler. 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: It's been a while while. Well I did it on 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: that big loss and that just didn't feel right. So 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm glad we got this one. Yeah, Well, when you 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: did it on the big loss, you had to kind 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: of take some of the gusto out of it. You 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: can't go all in for that exactly. But well, my 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: kids are napping too, so if I do the fool 26 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: big we're in trouble. Anyway, we have Mark Andrews, Pro 27 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: Bowl tight end Mark Andrews on with us today.

So 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. But before we get into that, 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 1: we of course have to review the results of the draft. 33 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Well why don't we, Why don't we tease that and 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: then get into the interview with Mark and read their 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: draft results. You know we've got some Yeah, you're just 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: hoping to get one last minute email here that comes 37 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: down on your side.

So let's go ahead and welcome 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: at our guest tight end, Mark Andrews. Mark, I gotta 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: start with this. Uh. You referenced in the conference call 44 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: with reporters that you have a prison workout system in 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: the backyard. Can you can you describe this a little 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: bit more for us? Yeah, so, you know, just thinking 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: of ways to you know, work out. I bought a 48 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: I bought a bench and a bunch of just like 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: three weights and a and a mat out there and 50 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: I've got a, um, some turf in the backyard. So 51 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: just you know, going out there every day lifting, um, 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: doing pull ups things like that that um, you know 53 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: are kind of reference to kind of like a prison workout. 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Just making it up and doing your own thing. I 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: feel like it it better not be like a nice backyard, 56 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: like it has to be chopped up and like a 57 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: lot mostly dirt. I don't know, it's full on like 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: dirt and everything like that. You know, it's there's some 59 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: nice parts in the backyard, but you make it work, 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: all right. Here's a tough question. If Mark Andrews were 61 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: in prison for something, what would what would he be 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: in prison for? That's a tough question. I don't know. 63 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: Got be careful with how you answer that. Alright, alright, alright, 64 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: I'll let that slide. So just how's how's it been 65 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: for you? How what's this what's this process like for you? Um, 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: you know it's been It's been good. You know this 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: is for me. This off season has definitely been you know, 68 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: probably my best one you know to date, you know, 69 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: just in terms of, um, working out every day, you know, 70 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: taking care of my body and just doing everything right. Um. 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: You know I've kind of you know, perfected that through 72 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: the last two years of off seasons, and um, you 73 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: know I feel really good, you know, but it's a 74 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: crazy time right now with everything going on and and 75 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, not being able to go places and work 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: out and see people. So um, it's different in that aspect. 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: But again, you know, if I found ways to get 78 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: around that, and I'm using it and I'm just trying 79 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: to get better, you know, each and every day, and 80 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm taking that mindset and just attacking the day. 81 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Not to harp too much on on the workout piece 82 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: of it. I'm just curious, if you were to compare 83 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: it to what you were to do last year or 84 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: two years ago, is your routine i mean completely different 85 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: in terms of the workouts that you're doing, who you're 86 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: doing it with, where are you doing it. I mean, 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: is it be completely upended from a physical workout standpoint. Yeah, 88 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, I would say it's definitely evolved for sure. 89 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: And um, you know, I think you know what's going 90 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: on with the pandemic and this virus, it's it's kind 91 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: of a force to you to have a little bit 92 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: different than um in years past, and and so you 93 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: can't go to these facilities and work out with people 94 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and UM, you know, I'm fortunate 95 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: to be able to to work out my house. But 96 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: you know, again, there's the stuff that we're doing is 97 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: just way different than what we're used to. When the 98 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: season ended, I know, you guys have the exit interviews, 99 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: meet with the coaches and all that. Was there something 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: that you came out of that time saying, Okay, I 101 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: really want to improve on this. Yeah, you know, I 102 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: don't know if there was a you know, like a 103 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: coach's meeting or anything like that. You know. Um, I 104 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: know for me, Um, you know, one of the big 105 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: things for me has always been blocking. You know, it's 106 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: always gonna be that, but um, just being upper body 107 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: getting it stronger and you know I've I've taken the 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: sauseason to get you know, stronger with my upper body. 109 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's something that's been a focal point for me. 110 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: And then I'm going to continue working on the things 111 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: that that I'm good at, you know, route running and 112 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: understanding the game and so just just trying to you know, 113 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: involve your games in every way um possible.

Um, 116 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: there's a step above where you know I was last 117 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: year that I want to taken.

You know, my family 134 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: and are you know, almost inseparable. So, um, for me 135 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: to be able to live with my brother, um, it's 136 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: been incredible.

You know, I love him 138 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: to death and we're having a great time. Well, I 139 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: remember last offseason you came back and you were talking 140 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: about how you're working on your your blocking and we 141 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: all asked you, well, who who did you work with? 142 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: And you said, basically, you were kicking your brother's but 143 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: up and down the field. So this is the same 144 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: brother who's asked you kick. Yeah, the same brother's aid 145 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: I kick. He says, if we're going to do it 146 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: again this year, I've got to get a pad so 147 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: I can block him. Especially now. I mean, now you're 148 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: in lockdown. You guys have spent a lot more time together. 149 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: You know, you're in this space, so It's like if 150 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: it's going poorly out there on the practice field or 151 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: whatever the backyard, you can't you can't escape them. Yeah, 152 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: there's no escaping it now, so we've gotta be smart. 153 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: What do you know when you're not working out, Mark, Um, 154 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, there's not much to do right now, So 155 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: I do. I live like two miles away from my parents, 156 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: so I go over there a lot, and you know, 157 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: I see my grandparents a lot, and um, you know, 158 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm a family guy, so I love go and see 159 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: my family and hang out with him. You know, I'm 160 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: trying to trying to use this time as much as possible, um, 161 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm in Baltimore, you know, over half 162 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: the year, So just using this time to to enjoy 163 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: my family, you know, take advantage of that.

Yeah, I agree, no doubt. 166 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: It's the theory out there that she fed them to 167 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: the tigers. I like, watch one episode and I didn't. 168 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: I haven't watched any more. Yeah, I think it's either 169 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: that or she you know, I don't know what she did. 170 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: She put him down the well and there's a bunch 171 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: of different theories, but she definitely did that. Yeah. I 172 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: don't know how you stopped after one make I mean 173 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: I started with one and I didn't quite realize at 174 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: the time that it was a full series. I was like, Wow, 175 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: that was that was crazy, and then I realized that 176 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: it was full seven episodes. I'm like, I can't stop 177 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: watching this even though it is terrible, But I don't know. 178 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about it. So I felt I'm in Better 179 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: call Soul or whatever that's that's a feed off of 180 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: Breaking Bad. It's like the prequel, right. Yeah. So all right, 181 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: So I want to go back to something you said. 182 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: You talked about how you feel like there's another level 183 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: to your game. I mean, you already were playing at 184 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: a really high level. You made a Pro Bowl in 185 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: your second season, lead the team in all these different 186 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: receiving categories. What does a higher level look like to you? 187 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: I want to be the best, and um, you know 188 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: when I say that, I say that, you know humbly, 189 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: I I really do. I want to be the best, 190 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I want to be the best tight end, 191 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: and um, you know I'm not there. There's a lot 192 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: of things I have to work on um, you know, 193 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: blockings one of them. You know, I think I've made 194 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: strides in that area and I know, you know, the 195 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: team trusts me, and um, so you know I'm making 196 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: strides and I'm trying to do all these different things 197 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: and you know learning you know, different routes, how to 198 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: run routes and just ways to get open. You know, 199 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Um, you know during last year 200 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: was you know focused on me. So just trying to 201 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: trying to beat man coverage and stuff like that is 202 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: gonna be big. So UM, trying to do everything I 203 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: can to to reach the point of being the best 204 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: and and be the best for a long time. And 205 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: that's where I want to be. Who do you look 206 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: at as uh, the guys do you have to overtake? Right? 207 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: I know, I know George Kittle obviously has put up 208 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: big receiving numbers, end Is is a pretty nasty blocker. Uh. 209 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's a lot of a lot of 210 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: really good fight ends out there right now. Who do 211 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: you look at? I mean, George Kittles, you know definitely 212 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: you know the guy that's you know up there right now, 213 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: and um, Travis Kelsey is you know, second to none. 214 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: So those two guys are kind of in there, know 215 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: that's here to themselves. Um, but um, there's a lot 216 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: of good guys you know behind them. Um, you know 217 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: there's guys like Zach Ertz and um. You know you 218 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: look at Darren Waller the year he had, and there's 219 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: so many, you know, players that you're kind of stepping up. 220 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: So um, a lot of competition with the tight ends, 221 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: and um, that's what's fun about it. You gotta keep 222 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: you competitive, um in your mind and use that as fire. 223 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: Did you see teams change the way they defended you 224 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: over the course of like kind of the secrets out, 225 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: Like you're not catching anybody by surprise anymore. People know 226 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: that you're really good tight end. Did you see that 227 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: they defended you differently? Maybe in the second half of 228 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: the year, no doubt, you know it was it was, 229 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, way different from my first year. And um, 230 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: you know I had Jalen Ramsey, you know, following me 231 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: around the whole game when we played them, and you know, 232 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a tight end. You know, why does he 233 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: cover me in the game? So um, you know there's 234 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: different things like double coverage and stuff like that that 235 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: they keyed in on a lot of stuff on third down. Um, 236 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: you know one of the downs that I'm good at. So, um, 237 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: it definitely changed. And and you know, again it goes 238 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: back to, you know, I gotta be better. I gotta 239 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: be you know better for those type of situations where 240 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: you know the defense may lock in on me, but 241 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Well went through your mind when Jalen 242 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: Ramsey was shadowing you. I mean it was It's a 243 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: good competition. You know, he's obviously a great player, and um, 244 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: excited to go against him. At the same time, you 245 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: know that leaves someone else to be open. And uh, 246 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: you know all those guys stepped up that game. So 247 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: it was awesome. I mean, he he's he's known as 248 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: is maybe one of the biggest trash talkers in the league. 249 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: You kind of quietly. I've seen you talk trash, especially 250 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: on the practice field. I've seen it. So you guys 251 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: obviously got the better than that game. Were you doing? 252 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: What's talking that game? Um? Now, I didn't think I 253 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: need needed to. You know, it's almost like a silent 254 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: killer type of thing. You know, he's a obviously has 255 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: had some you know, a few choice words and says 256 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: some things, but you know, I let it slide because 257 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: the scoreboard was a are you gonna bring keep going 258 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: with the thing this year? Yeah. I didn't do as 259 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: much last year, to be honest, but you know, I'm 260 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: definitely gonna still do it. You know, I love doing it. 261 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: I think it's fun. You know, I think it's a, um, 262 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: a good thing for the fans and they's just have 263 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: fun of the game. You know, you always got to 264 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: think of, you know, ways to make things exciting and 265 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: fun in your own head, and UM, to me, that's 266 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: one of them. UM may think of some other things 267 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: and and you need things to do, but um, that's 268 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: definitely one of the trademarks. So so we we want 269 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: to talk about Hayden obviously a little bit. And I 270 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: know you talked about a few days ago. But you know, 271 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: I know you said you said you were shocked by 272 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: the trade, but I kind of took that to me 273 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: like any time a friend gets traded, it's shocking. But 274 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: I had to imagine that you kind of saw that 275 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: like that might happen, right that, like in your conversations 276 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: with Hayden, he probably expressed like, man, like I kind 277 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: of like an opportunity a bigger opportunity, you know, like, 278 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: was there some of that, Um, you know, there's definitely 279 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know frustration is the word. But 280 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: you know you see Hayden and he's obviously a great, 281 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: great player, and um, you know that's frustrating, you know 282 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: as a player to to a very good player, you 283 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: know you're a good player, and uh, to not have 284 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: as many opportunities as you know you want. Um and 285 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: you know with the situation, it was just a weird situation. Um, 286 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: but um, he stayed professional the whole time and you 287 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: couldn't you know see that, you know, really by his 288 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: body language or anything. So um, you know, just talking 289 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: with him, it's it was it was a shock to me. 290 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: I just didn't you know, know it was coming. He 291 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: didn't say anything, so um, you know that was it 292 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: was just kind of a you know, all of the 293 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: culmination of you know, not knowing and then you know, 294 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: finding out he's getting traded. But again, you know, I've 295 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: I've been so close to Hayden for for so long. 296 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: We came in together, you know, we've been best friends, 297 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I'm excited for him, you know, 298 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: I'm excited for him to to go do his thing, 299 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: because I know he is. How did you guys, how 300 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: did you guys like keep that from being awkward? Because 301 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, I mean really you stepped into the vacuum 302 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: when he suffered his injury his rookie year and just 303 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: you never you were so good that you know the 304 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: door was closed to a degree, right. Uh. And and 305 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: so like you hear his frustration and kind of stee 306 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: it and and but you're the reason you like, like 307 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: I met you, you're kind of like I don't you know, 308 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: like how can you be such good friends and and 309 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: avoid that awkward this? Um, you know it's it's it's weird. Um. 310 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: You know, Hayden and I you kind of grew up 311 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: very similar. Um. You know you you were were very 312 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: similar people, got similar traits and you know, personalities, and um, 313 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: it was very much of like a healthy competition. You know, 314 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: we were you know obviously you know, very good friends, 315 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: best friends now off the field. Um, and then when 316 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: it came on the field, it was you know, competing 317 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: with one another. And uh, I think that made us better, 318 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, pushed us, made us you know, work harder, Um, 319 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: you know constantly during practice, you know, who's running faster, 320 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: you know, who's you know, making more catches stuff like that. So, um, 321 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, one of those things where you know, 322 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: he was blaming me for not not playing as much 323 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: or or or anything like. You know, it was healthy 324 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: competition between he and I, and um, you know, that's 325 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: the way it should be. You know, I think you know, 326 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: when you when you get to the point of uh, 327 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, turns sour, that's not good for the team. 328 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, we're both team guys. 329 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: So you guys called yourselves a three headed monster last year. 330 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're probably gonna get another tight end maybe 331 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: in a draft of free agency. Do you expect to 332 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: kind of welcome in another another member of that three 333 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: headed monster pretty quickly?

So we talked a lot about the draft 343 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: and you know obviously that there's kind of a love 344 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: affair with Oklahoma guys, you obviously being one of them 345 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: Hollywood last year, Orlando, So is it gonna is that 346 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: trying gonna continue this year? Kenneth Murray? It could be 347 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: certainly the option. Is he going to be the pick 348 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: at twenty eight? And tell what do you know about him? 349 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: Tell us about Kenneth Murray. Um, you know, I'd love 350 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: to say that he is you know, I know that 351 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: you know obviously, UM, Eric de Costa loves Oklahoma guys, 352 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: and you know it's kind of worked out for him 353 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: in the past with you recently, Um, you know, Um, 354 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: Orlando and I and then Ben and Marquise, you know, 355 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: all great players. And so we'll see obviously, But you know, 356 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: Kenneth is, Uh, he's a kind of a unique guy. 357 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: He's a outspoken person, very much a leader. Um. He 358 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: has that kind of ray Lewis, you know, motivational type speeches. 359 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: You know that you know everyone loves to hear. Um, 360 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: He's got that mindset, you know, the killer mindset. And 361 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: he loves to play football. You know, that's the main 362 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: thing is Um loves to go out there, fly around, 363 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: hit people. And that's what you're looking for a linebacker. 364 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: He's gonna lead the team, lead the defense. And Um, 365 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: that's the type player he is. Well, I think the 366 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: question is is it all offensive Oklahoma thing or does 367 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: this also apply to the defense. How good is Oklahoma's defense? 368 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: Pretty good? Or what Oklahoma's dogs? You know, oklhod is 369 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: gonna have dogs all the way around. So um, it's 370 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: a different you know, the program breeds um. You know 371 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: guys like that, you know guys that work hard and coming, um, 372 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: coming each and every day to get better. And and 373 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: that's what we that's what they preached there, and that's 374 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get when you draft guys from Oklahoma. Well, Garrett, 375 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: I was shocked you didn't bring up ceedee Lamb. I 376 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: thought that was your that's your dream scenario. I know, 377 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: I was just gonna get to that. Like, my dream 378 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: scenario is either that he falls a little bit and 379 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: then maybe we trade up and get him. Is would 380 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: that be the dream scenario for you too? I hope 381 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: he doesn't fall. You know, I love c D falls 382 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: to us. Um, yes, I hope he falls to us. 383 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: He's he's insane though he's an incredible receiver. Um, he's 384 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: a pleasure to play with, great teammate. Um. I can't 385 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: say nothing good things about him. Um, he's gonna tear 386 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: the sleep up. You know, everyone kind of compares him 387 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: to like a DeAndre Hopkins type of guy, and you 388 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: know it's a it's a pretty good comparison. Now you're 389 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: doing you're doing this wrong. You got to say all 390 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: the bad things that you've heard about him, Tarnish's name, 391 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: you gotta doubt not a locker room problem. Say all 392 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: that stuff so that all the other gms are listening 393 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: to this, they get scared off. That's the way you 394 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: got because all the gms listen to they listen to 395 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: this religiously. Yeah, yeah, he's not very good. Hey, Mark, So, 396 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew this, but last year 397 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: before the season, Garrett and I we always make our 398 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: predictions right for different stats, leaders and whatnot, and we 399 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: hit it on the head with you, all right. We 400 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: we don't get a lot of things right. We get 401 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: most things wrong. But we said leader in catches, yards 402 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: and touchdowns across the board, Mark Andrews, can we get 403 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: an appreciation something, Thank you guys for believing me. I 404 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: appreciate that. Um, that's very much appreciated. Is that is 405 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: that kind of your expectation every year though, like as 406 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: you talk about next steps and all that stuff, like, 407 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: is that your your goal and your expectations to to 408 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: be the leader in those categories? You know, as long 409 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: as you're playing. Um, you know obviously you know, being 410 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: more of like a receiving tight end, it's you know, 411 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: obviously that's kind of how you know, how many catches, 412 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: how many yards and touchdowns you have kind of indicates 413 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, how how a season that you had was. 414 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: But um, again, I'm a team guy. You know, I've 415 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: always been a team guy. UM, I'm always gonna take 416 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: you know what, you know what I get And UM, 417 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, luckily last year and things worked out and 418 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: had a good year. UM had you know, lad some categories. 419 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it doesn't mean anything. 420 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: It's all about winning. And UM, you know our end 421 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: goal is not what it was last year. You know, 422 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: we we fell short, and UM, you know I didn't 423 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: play good enough. You know, other guys didn't play good enough, 424 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: and that's not gonna cut it. So um looking forward, Um, 425 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: you know I'm not. I don't go into the season thinking, hey, 426 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: I want to be a leader in touchdowns receptions and 427 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: you are on the team. That doesn't go through my mind. 428 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: It's you know, I want one of Super Bowl. Well, 429 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: and the other part part B of that is I 430 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: better put up bigger numbers than Hayden does in Atlanta. 431 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully I'll see him in the in the Pro Bowl. 432 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: That nice, well, Mark, thank you for joining us.

Yeah, I think. 448 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: And and he he he talked about how he likes 449 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: to do. They like to work out together and that's 450 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: important to them. So like, you got your workout, buddy, 451 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: you're tackling dummy, I guess in this case for work. 452 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: And I think it's probably fun. Yeah. Yeah, I feel that. 453 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: I feel that. I feel that. Well. The question though, 454 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: is you know, when you're seeing a girl, and I 455 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: should have asked Mark this, you know you bring the 456 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: girl back and your brothers there. Well, that's no little 457 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: No one's seeing any girls these days. You know that 458 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: they're a lot. That's true. How does dating, you know, 459 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: up and out of the game for so long? How's 460 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: dating work during COVID nineteen. I think there's probably a 461 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of text messages, a lot of sliding into those 462 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: d m s. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, all right, let's get 463 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: to the most important topic here, and that is the 464 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: listener response to our bunker draft and as I see 465 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: the top. I well, let let me just say, let 466 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: me just say this. You're rushing the assessment of the 467 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: Bunker draft. You said right before we started taping that 468 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: you wanted to go ahead and get it out of 469 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: the way today because there was a couple of emails 470 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: that said you were the winner, so you wanted to 471 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: just take your segment. Now, nimous for any come in 472 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: in my defense. Now, I know how Lamar felt when 473 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: you got unanimous m VP. It's it's just the same 474 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: thing for me right now. You know, also, I don't 475 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: know that you're unanimous. Well, I'll let you read your emails, 476 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: but are great? Uh?

He said he came into this 479 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: draft feeling like it was gonna be a win for 480 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: you after all the Bunker talk that you dined. But 481 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: again you fell short, and so that's a win for me. 482 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: That's a win for me, David. Dave, Dave still thinks 483 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: that you nailed the mock draft every year. It's been 484 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: three years since you did. All right, here's the emails. 485 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: This comes from Jesse Niederburger. Jesse said, I have a 486 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: hard time picking winner, but on the strength of pizza, ramen, 487 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: noodles and coffee coffee. With my last pick, I would 488 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: go with Mike. And if you can't get to the 489 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: store to buy any fresh fruit, apple sauce wouldn't be 490 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: a bad option. See this guy, This guy knows what's up, 491 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: all right. Um, So beyond that to the football. He 492 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: was thinking, if the top wide receiver's edge dresher and 493 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: edge dreshers are off the table and Murray and Queen 494 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: are gone, or if they don't want an inside linebacker 495 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: in the first round, how about this scenario you trade 496 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: back into the top of the second round, and then 497 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: maybe later into the second round, and come away with 498 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: at least three second round picks in which you get 499 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: maybe a wide receiver, maybe in an interior offensive lineman 500 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: or an edge inside linebacker. Right, what do you think 501 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: of that? Getting three second round picks, plus be trade 502 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 1: back into the second Obviously you're picking up even more ammunition, right, 503 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: a fourth the whatever it is, depending on how far 504 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: you trade back. Obviously, Yeah, I mean, I think there's 505 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: always a potential for the Ravens to trade back. I 506 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: don't as much as I've talked about, I think that 507 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: this could be the year where they move up. I 508 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: don't think that I would be shocked at all if 509 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: they end up trading back, especially if the linebackers are 510 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: off the board, especially if those pass rushers who made 511 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, Chasan is gone, say Gross Matos is gone, 512 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: and you don't feel like the receivers at that spot 513 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: would be much better than you would get early in 514 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 1: the second round, then what's the point of not trading 515 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: back and adding picks. So I don't think that this is. 516 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: As much as I like the idea of maybe trading 517 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: up in the first round, I by no means think 518 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: it would be a shock to see the Ravens move back. Yeah, 519 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: I would agree with that having a like the first 520 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: pick in the second round or a very high pick 521 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: in the second round is extremely valuable because you get 522 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: that night to kind of sit on it. Let's restack 523 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: your board. Obviously, I think a lot will depend and how, 524 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: like like Ken said, how the ball the board falls right, 525 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: who's available there? If there's three or four guys that 526 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: the Ravens really like at pick number twenty eight, And 527 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: because they have a variety of different needs. I mean, 528 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting this this Blacklock player that Todd 529 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: McShay projected to the Ravens, a defensive tackle where you 530 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: don't think that that would be a possibility, but hey, 531 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: you look at it, and that defensive line as stacking 532 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: talented as it is is up there in age. Yeah. So, like, 533 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting pick. Could he be had 534 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: a little bit later, or like Caesar Ruise the offensive lineman, 535 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: information should say you were to move back to the 536 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: thirty six pick and you take him. Yeah, yeah, I 537 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: think that it's an intriguing scenario. As much as I 538 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: love making a first round pick, uh yeah, it's always 539 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: like a bummer when you get to the end of 540 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: the first round you didn't make a pick, you're like 541 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: four hours of time. Yeah. Anyway, we're getting off the 542 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: main topic here of the emails, and that's to praise 543 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: my draft. I also like this email, uh from Eric Vowels. 544 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: He said, Uh, well done, guys. During this crazy time. 545 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: We live in Texas and my wife is a nurse, 546 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: stay at it. Thank you to your wife, Eric, big 547 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: props to her. Uh he Eric said, mink totally decimated 548 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: this draft hands down. That's strong. That's strong. He's a 549 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: toilet paper. Come on, man, are we allowed to say that. 550 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: I just keep it. It's just not read that part. 551 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: Let just keep it rolling, all right. I just I 552 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: would I would go TP your blank, TP your blank. 553 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: I like the reference he says. Only week picked for 554 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: mink was apple sauce, which the other guy I disagreed with, 555 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: and I agree with Garrett on tuna. You know, here's 556 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: the thing. The more I thought about it, oh sorry, 557 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: let me finish. Otherwise, mink for the domination win. Yeah. Um, 558 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: when I thought about it more, I was pretty distraught 559 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: not to get peanut butter, because as we all know, 560 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm a huge peanut butter guy. But uh, pizza is 561 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: like way away better pick in this scenario. I mean, really, 562 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: how much can you eat peanut butter just by itself? 563 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: I could have pizza by itself for every meal of 564 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: the day, every day. Yeah, pizza has But you know what, 565 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: let let me ask you this question. How many times 566 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 1: have you talked about frozen pizza on the podcast before yesterday? 567 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: Any ever? Zero? Never? You've talked about peanut butter a 568 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: thousand times? Do you've not stopped talking about peanut butter. 569 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: You talked to the team president about peanut butter, on 570 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: and on about peanut butter. That should be a win 571 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: for me, right there. No, no, I love peanut butter. 572 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from peanut butter on the surface. 573 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, in the bunker scenario, if you're looking 574 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: for something to fill you up, pizza is the way better. Plus, 575 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: I mean pizza, I think is my favorite food. It's 576 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: my favorite. Also, in this bunker scenario, you got to 577 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: prepare for all options, and one of those is a 578 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: power shortage and the freezer goes out, So now you 579 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: have a bunch of spoiled pizza. While for me, peanut 580 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: butter works in all situations. So that's and my bottled water. 581 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: At the end, Well, when you get to last pick, 582 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: you kind of gotta take a flyer. You know, it's 583 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: a risky pick at the end of the final pick 584 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: of the draft. For me, so I go water. What 585 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: if all the water stops working, the water system of 586 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: the United States goes out, you are gonna be in 587 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. You're gonna have some major issues. Me, 588 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: on the other hand, I've got endless supply, an endless 589 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: supply of bottled water. I'm in a great spot. I 590 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: have a creek right down the right down the street 591 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: for me. I go down to the creek, just start 592 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: lapping it up out of there. How many times have 593 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: you drank the creek water? Now, here's the problem is 594 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: if everybody else has the toilet paper shortage, they might 595 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: and then and they don't have the bidet. What are 596 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: they using the creek for? So that could be that 597 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: could be a problem. I need to get a water 598 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: purification system now, so I'm not getting sewage anyway. We 599 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: got a lot of things to still sort out. But 600 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: I think it's clear that I'm the winner, all right. 601 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's not clear that you're the winner. 602 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: And we wanted some more emails, so send those in 603 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: defend me people the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. 604 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: Keep him coming anyway, Thank you for listening, and we 605 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: will be back with you next week with more get 606 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe this is the week that mel 607 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: Kiper happens.
