1 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Here's the one piece of advice I can give you. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: Never aspire to be Ryan make there's there are a 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: few things that are worse than that. You guys, seriously 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: put more time into researching these things. Then you do 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: a mock draft for the NFL draft. Absolutely, I'm going 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: to New oraland's total welcome into the lounge for what's 7 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: going to be a very festive episode. I think we 8 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: have today our travel draft, which we've been debating for 9 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: like months, ever since the schedule came out. We've been 10 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: going actually well before that, yeah, sorry, because we have 11 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: a future opponent schedule which you check out our You 12 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: probably don't even know what exists, but it is on 13 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: our site, yes, which really outlines who the Ravens are 14 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: gonna play home and a way for the most part, 15 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: besides two games every year, it outlines who they're gonna 16 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: do for next like several years. So this year's travel 17 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: we've been planning for literally like three years. Yes, we've 18 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: kind of map this because if you Ryan and I 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: alternate road games exactly, so we have decide who's going 20 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: to travel to what city. So we've been planning and 21 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: talking about this for three years, and today's the day buddy, 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: when we finally make our our final selections. So we're 23 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna do it, and and we also have a piece 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: of breaking news in relation to that, something we've also 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: been talking about on this podcast for quite a while. 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: So we're gonna let that big time breaking news what 27 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: you're talking about there for a second, but I'm with 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: you now, big time breaking news that's gonna come out 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: a little bit later. But before we get to that, 30 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: we want to talk some football because right now things 31 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: are starting heat up. It's getting really interesting, and we 32 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: want to go through and just kind of break down 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: where the Ravens are at right now and address some 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: of the questions that we see you asking us a lot, 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: whether it be email the lounge at Ravens dot NFL 36 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: dot net either or us on Twitter at Ryan Mink 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: at g down or at Ravens UM. So we see 38 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff and we're just going to kind 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: of go through the roster and and talk about suppressing issues. 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: So let's just go ahead. I think the biggest question 41 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: that so many people have UM is about the offense, 42 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: and so as Ravens open O t s right now, 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: the way I see this offense and this is This 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: doesn't really have to do with the roster, but I 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: just think that this time right now is critical, not 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: only for Joe and his receivers, which he didn't have 47 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: this time last year. He's coming back from the torn 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: a cel so he didn't have this time, and I 49 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: think it's valuable. I think it really has significance. And 50 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: I think the fact that he's more than a year 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: now removed from the injury is going to pay huge 52 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: dividends this year. So I think that this time is 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: really big. And I also think that this time is 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: big for the coaches in the front office to get 55 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: a look at these guys out there around the field 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: and make a decision where do they need to add guys. 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: Do they need to go out there and do they 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: need to get a center, Do they need to get 59 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: a right tackle, Do they need to get a wide 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: receiver or running back whatever that position is. But I 61 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: think inside linebacker, like this is the defensive lineman, somebody 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: in that rotation, what this is the time where they 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: get a really good assessment of what the roster is 64 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: going to be. And so that to me is the 65 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: most significant part of what's happening right now. Yeah, for sure. 66 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: And and it's just the rookies and the vets getting 67 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: on the field together. I mean the rookies that had 68 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: their rookie camp only a week after they were drafted. 69 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: That some of the vets have been here for a 70 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: lot of them for the voluntary strength and conditioning program, 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: but this is the first time getting them on the field. 72 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: At the same time, these rookies are going to play 73 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: a big role this year, so it's really catching those 74 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: guys up to speed because now they have all these 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: vets are a lot of them around them. They're like, whoa, 76 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: these guys are good. I have to elevate my games. 77 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: That's an important part of this as well. We get 78 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: to watch practice this week. If there's one guy that 79 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: you're most excited to see, would it be Humphrey one 80 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: guy I'm most excited to see. Man, that's a tough one. 81 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: I would I I really want to see I want 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: to see Brashot. It's funny, I was gonna say I 83 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: would say either for Humphrey because I just want to 84 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: see how he looks, but probably Brashot and Joe. Yeah, 85 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: I want to see Brashot and Joe because that's gonna 86 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: be so huge to the offense this year is can 87 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: Impareman take the next step become a big time starting 88 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver? I mean big time. It's not like the 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: guy has to put up yards this year, but can 90 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: he be a very good wide receiver on the outside, 91 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: starting caliber number one, number two kind of guys, that's 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna be really important and I think it's gonna impart 93 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: dictate what the Ravens moves are going forward this all season. 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Do they sign Board and do they sign Victor Cruz? 95 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: You know what, why don't we just read the fan question? 96 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: Because we're getting into this area, all right, So this 97 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: question comes from This question comes from Josh Burman, and 98 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: he emailed us at the lounge at Ravens one NFL 99 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: dot net. Josh Right, Hey, guys, my name is Josh. 100 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I am twelve years old and I want to be 101 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: a sportscaster for the Ravens when I grow up. Twelve 102 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: years old. An he wants to follow our career. Fact. 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: I like him kind of setting the sights, you know, 104 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: sort of high right. I like that he's twelve years old. 105 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: I like that he's twelve years old and he knows 106 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: what he wants to do, Joh, you know what, I 107 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: respect it and I like it, and I'm flattered. Become 108 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: an engineer, man, get good at math, get really good 109 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: at math, signs, become an engineer, computer programmer, do something 110 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: like that. But then again, I want to, I want to. Yeah. 111 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Josh, here's the one piece of 112 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: advice I can give you. Never aspire to be Ryan 113 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: make there's there are a few things that are worse 114 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: than that sound advice. So Josh's question is, I think 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens should get either an Kwan Wolden or Victor Cruz. 116 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: I think they would be very valuable, especially an Kwan 117 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: because he was so good with us. What do you think, Well, okay, yeah, 118 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: we just started talking about this. I think it depends 119 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: on what the Ravens have, obviously, uh. I think that 120 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: right now, Mike Wallace is definitely gonna be one of 121 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: your starting wide receivers for shop Perim, and the Ravens 122 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: want him to be one of their starters, and you 123 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: have to give him a chance to do so. You 124 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: have to give him the practice reps, and I think 125 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: you have to give him game reps in order to 126 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: for him to develop as a wide out improved that 127 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: he can be first round pick, top flight wide receiver. 128 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: That's what they drafted him to be, and if you 129 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: never give the guy a chance, he ain't gonna ever 130 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: become it. He didn't get a chance as a rookie 131 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: because he enters the miss entire season last year. He 132 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: had a solid first season in air quotes in the NFL. 133 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean, there were some times when he wore like 134 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: whoa Perriman holy cow, and then he had some drops. 135 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: He needs to improve and he needs to mature as 136 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: a player, but I think he can get there. There's 137 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: nothing yet that tells me no, you know what, it's 138 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: time to limit his snaps, not give him a chance, 139 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: and bring somebody else in here to take a spot. Okay, 140 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: just real quick, I would say, if you haven't listened 141 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: to the Brashod Perriman podcast from last week, go back 142 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: and listen to it, because he's he really I thought 143 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: it shares some insight into his where he is mentally 144 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: right now compared to where he was a couple of 145 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: years ago. So I just really I found like very 146 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: valuable in terms of getting his perspective on where he 147 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: is right now exactly sending you go beyond those top 148 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: two guys. And I know fans are concerned because the 149 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: Ravens didn't draft anybody, they haven't signed anybody, you know 150 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: what's behind those two wide receivers. But you have Michael 151 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: Caperaro and you have Chris Moore, and it's a similar 152 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: kind of story with them. You have to give him 153 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: a chance to prove themselves. We've all seen that camp 154 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: and Arrow can flash when he's on the field. Now 155 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: can you stay on the field that's the big question mark. 156 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: If he can stay healthy throughout O t A S, 157 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: throughout mandatory mini camp, you know, then throughout maybe training camp, 158 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: early parts of training camp, then I want to get 159 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: that guy on the field, you know, give him a shot. 160 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: Say for Chris Moore, how can you ever expect a 161 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: fourth round pick a wide receiver mature if you don't 162 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: give an opportunity. Now, if you give camp and Arrow 163 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: and opportunity, if you give Chris morn oportunity, Paraman, all 164 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: these guys and no Tis, they just aren't cutting it. 165 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: If they're not practicing well, they don't look good, they 166 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: get injured or whatever, then yes, I think you have 167 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: to bring in somebody because you know, you can't count 168 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: on those guys coming back from injury or whatever. Those 169 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: guys saw him. To me, they got two strikes on him. Okay, 170 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: you've got two strikes. If Camp and Arrog gets injured again, 171 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: it's three strikes, man. We gotta bring in somebody to 172 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: take those snaps. But right now, signing Bolden or Victor 173 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: Cruz before O t A s are done or whatnot, 174 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, maybe they're gonna be great, but 175 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: they they have question marks too. It's not like they're 176 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the best wide receiving in the league. It's not Odell 177 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 1: Beckham sitting out there on the free agency market. Bowlds 178 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: thirty six years old. Do I think he still has 179 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: more to offer? Yes, I think he's still got some 180 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: juice and he showed that last year in Detroit. But 181 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: that's one more year on those legs, you know. And 182 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: and at this point is it more beneficial to give 183 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: a younger player like a Kip Chris Moore shot? Is 184 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: Bolden that much better than those guys if they're healthy 185 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: and on the field, I don't know. Maybe Victor Cruz, 186 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: I think I see. I think that one's harder to answer. 187 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: Victor Cruz I think had that bigger numbers last year 188 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: at all when he played the whole season, right, and 189 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: he's had the significant injuries and he hasn't last year 190 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: at least he wasn't the same player as he was 191 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: before the injuries are even close to it. So yeah, 192 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean I think you could probably make a case 193 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: that aunt Quantie had eight touchdowns last year is probably 194 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: just looking at the numbers, probably a head of Victor Cruz, right, 195 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: but the cases is he ahead of Chris Moore and 196 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: Michael Campanero exactly. Now, the thing with that is you 197 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: have to look for the future. Okay, if you give 198 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: up on development Christmore, you sign him and you say Christmore, 199 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: you're not You're only gonna get ten snaps again this year? 200 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: Like why did you even make the pick? You know 201 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't proved that he deserved a chance. You have 202 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: to look down the road. And if you sign Bolden, 203 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: you're not signing Bolden to come in here and play 204 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: your third fourth wide receiver. I don't think he's gonna 205 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: want that at Bowen's like a Steve Smith who wants 206 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: to be on the field and here he wants the ball, 207 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: he wants to be on the field. So if you 208 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: bring him in, you're giving less opportunities to those other guys. 209 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: You're stunting potentially their growth. So now it could now 210 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: it could be meant to be a backup insurance policy. 211 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: He stunting their growth could benefit the team as a whole. 212 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: That's that's what you have to weigh, because if he 213 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: is so much better, and he is so that could 214 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: be beneficial for the team this year. So that's that's 215 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: why you have to wear That's the delicate balance, and 216 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: that's why I think Ozzy wants to see what do 217 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: I have. Let me first see what I have, and 218 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: then I'll be able to decide if I need to 219 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: make any changes. And let's honest, he has the luxury 220 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: of doing so. Victor Cruz has been sitting on the 221 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: market for how long now months and says he doesn't 222 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: want to sign until training camp. So it's not like 223 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: you're in any rush to bring these guys in. You 224 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: can see what you what you have, right, and I 225 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: think the same goes for the other positions. Look, I 226 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: would be shocked if the Ravens don't go out and 227 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: sign somebody at offensive line or receiver or defensive line 228 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: or inside linebacker, some combination of those positions. Uh, two 229 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: or three of those guys in the next before training 230 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: camp or in training camp. I think that's going to 231 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: happen at some point. Can I tell you which guys 232 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: that is gonna tell you when that's gonna happen. I 233 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: can't that that remains to be seen. But they're gonna 234 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: go out there and sign somebody. And I've said this before. 235 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think it's gonna be somebody who we're 236 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: all talking about. I mean, nobody was talking about Vladimir 237 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: Ducas last year and the Ravens signed him and then 238 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: they cut him, and they signed him again and he 239 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: ended up starting ten games for him. So like, there 240 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: is potential to go and get a guy like that 241 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: who's a veteran quality player that's on the street right 242 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: now exactly. And a lot of times injuries dictate this, 243 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: and that's now that we're starting practice, that's when injuries 244 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: are gonna happen, unfortunately, So you know, keep your eyes peeled. 245 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: If there are any of those, I expect the Ravens 246 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: to make a move for sure. So moving on down 247 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: through the roster here, we talked about You talked about 248 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: Joe and his situation at the beginning, which I completely 249 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: agree with it. And John Eisenberg wrote about this on 250 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: our on our website, digital app and mobile app and 251 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: and all those different things. Uh, but John wrote about 252 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: how this season boils down to the same thing, Joe Flacco. 253 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: We know the defense is going to be really good. 254 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: We think it's gonna be really good. At least it 255 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: should be really good if Joe can play, you know, 256 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: a little better than last year. If Joe can play well, 257 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: I think this offense is set up to win a 258 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of games. Yeah, yeah, I agree, And and we 259 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: didn't I haven't even talked about the defense, but we're 260 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: both on the same page that I think the defense 261 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: is going to be really good. I think they're gonna 262 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: be able to cover for they haven't been able to 263 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: cover the way that they're going to be able to 264 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: this year. They have not had really good depth and 265 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: really good starters at every position and that secondary over 266 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: the past couple of years. They have that this year, 267 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: at least on paper, Brandon Carr is as solid as 268 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: they get. Marlin Humphrey. The Ravens expect him to come 269 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: in and be a. I don't know if it's gonna 270 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: happen this year, but at some point he's going to 271 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: be a shut down corner. That's the expectation for him, 272 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Brandon Car, Marlin Humphreys starting right away. I think Week 273 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: one is gonna be Brandon Car. That would be my 274 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: Do you agree with it? I would agree with that, 275 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: but I I was saying this the other day. Actually, 276 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: I think Martin Humphrey is gonna be really good. The 277 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: more I think about it, the more I like to pick. 278 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: I just think he has the right attitude. I like 279 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: his persona, I like his his intangibles. I'd like the 280 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: fact that he's twenty years old, he's a track star 281 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: that can move really well, and played at the biggest 282 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: college program in the in the country and played at 283 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: a high level there. There's a lot of boxes checked 284 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: off from Marlin right and I think that he is 285 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: going to be a stellar corner here. So I love 286 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: that it's a little rapid fire here. Okay, about things 287 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: fans are asking about on this team as it goes 288 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,599 Speaker 1: into O T A S outside linebacker, he's gonna be 289 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: that past rush outsitel stus, how is that all going 290 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: to pan out, it's gonna be Sugs and I think 291 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Tias Bowser is going to be the 292 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: starter there, and I think Tim Williams is going to 293 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: play an important role, and Judean two is INAZ. That's 294 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: the thing, That's what I'm saying. I think it's highest Bowser. 295 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: I think it's Tigas Bowser is gonna be the starting 296 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: outsideline backer opposite of Arles Sucks. All right, how's the 297 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: offensive line, Jacob? I think since I went on a 298 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: long r, yeah, I think it's gonna be Ronnie Stanley. 299 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be this is this, I think 300 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna Yeah, I think it's gonna be Ronnie Stanley, 301 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: Alex Lewis at left guard. Center. I think that I 302 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: think they may add a center, a veteran okay, right 303 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: guards yonda right tackle. I think it's gonna be somebody 304 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: that's currently on the roster. I'll say name, but I 305 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: think I'll say Stefan name, but I don't. I don't 306 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: think that the Ravens are as concerned about right tackle 307 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: as everybody else is. That's just the feeling that I have. Um, 308 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: I think that you look at these guys and kind 309 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: of goes back to what you were saying with receiver. 310 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: But they like what they have in house and so 311 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: um they want to see what they can do out 312 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: there on the field. But name Bought, I just the 313 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: dude is athletic. He is huge, strong. He fits what 314 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens want to do in terms of getting after 315 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: people on the ground, playing that downhill kind of attack. 316 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: I think that heat. And let's not forget Nick Boyle 317 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: might be lined up there or Crockett Gilmore right next song. 318 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: Nick Boyle is huge, Yeah, boy is huge, and Rocket 319 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: Gilmore is nasty. And if you can put those guys 320 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: next to your right tackle, that's a pretty nice blocking 321 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: yeah right there. I mean those guys are two pounds 322 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: and so that's small alignment. They can help out in 323 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: a big way there, exactly so. And I think James 324 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: Hurst is gonna be on this team. Guy has experienced 325 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: at left tackle. He can be a good right tackle. 326 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: I think James Hurst makes his team and I think 327 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: he has a shot at being a starter, But I 328 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: think he's on the team. I also Jensen could be 329 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: the starter at center. Jensen could be the star in 330 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Jensen in ershell it's gonna be a good battle. The 331 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: thing about Herschel, I like Herschel. I think Erschel is 332 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: a good player, is obviously a smart player. The thing 333 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: is they want to get bigger on the line. They 334 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: did that pretty clear. And Erschel isn't your biggest guy. 335 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: Jensen is bigger than him. Uh, Jensen is a pretty 336 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: big center. But yeah, the question is the question. Yeah 337 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: what I'm I mean, it's not just size. It's not 338 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: like they're just plugging into anybody who's big there. But 339 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: you have to be able to play. Yeah, But I 340 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: think part of the reason that when you look at 341 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: like a Jeremy Zuta, people say, why did you trade 342 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Jeremy Zuta? I mean a I think the Ravens like 343 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: what they have inn House, But I also think that 344 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: Zota is not the big, imposing kind of blocker that 345 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: the Ravens wanted that position. I mean, he was a 346 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: smaller center, and that's the kind of reason that they 347 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: make go Nico could be but I don't think so. Yeah, 348 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: that's a tough task. He hasn't played center, and he 349 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: is a rookie fifth fourth round pick. Yeah, that would 350 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: be a tough one. Yeah. Anyway, we're gonna get a 351 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: lot of these questions answered over the course of o 352 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: T As a mentor of mini camps, he needed to 353 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: stay tuned in.

So we're 371 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: gonna get to that, but before we do that, we 372 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: gotta do a story time. And there's a couple of 373 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: reasons why we had to bring the common Man back 374 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: on One was with his former name, that wouldn't have 375 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: been good. Yea yeah, yeah alright, So uh for story time, 376 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: common Man and I, Cody and I plan the same 377 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: kickball team.

Mosley? 382 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: Is that c J. Moseley on the other team? And 383 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Cody and I look at each other and we're like, yeah, 384 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: that is that's c J. Mosley. That is c J. Mosley. 385 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: And so you're the college soccer player, you're one of 386 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: the better guys on the kickball team. I'll give it 387 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: to you. Thanks for that. Your butterfingers at Garrett, No 388 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: butter fingers.

Yeah, I mean rank 391 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: the kickball team before we get into the story here. 392 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: Each year, I have to basically do inventory on the roster, 393 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: and Garrett is on the bubble every year. No shot, 394 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: you know you picked the team contest, I usually have 395 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: you know my wife do that you picked the kickball team? 396 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: And Garrett's one of the last insertions everyway. If you 397 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: weren't friends when you make the team, that's abow Garrett. 398 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: Garrett is a solid contributor to the kickball team. But 399 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: solid contribute. I early on, early on in my career, 400 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: had the butter fingers issues, but that has been long 401 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: worked out. That's been long. There's been no I've been 402 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: your agent for four plus years. There hasn't been a 403 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: drop in years. Years, years, I don't know about years. Season, 404 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: I haven't seen one. There's been. It's been years. It's 405 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: been right off the face, it's been a gold glove 406 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: season for Garrott. Yeah, end up. And we have playoffs 407 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: start this week. So yeah, he's you have that same 408 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: team that you always lose to in the playoffs every 409 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: single time. We'll see the championship. Yeah, we'll probably see 410 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: them in a championship and lose about six seven nothing. Yeah, alright, 411 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: So Onjley, He's on the other team. Yeah, what do 412 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: you think of his game? So it was great. You know, 413 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: he gets up and I'm just I'm thinking to myself, Man, 414 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be good at kickball. Yeah, he just 415 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's up there. He looks like a football player. 416 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: Doesn't look like a guy who's gonna go out there 417 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: and be able to kick the ball. We've seen these 418 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: guys like play softball again, Ldarious web softball game awful. 419 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: That's frocious. I didn't know anybody could be that bad 420 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: at softball. Yeah. So so CJ gets up there first pitch, 421 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: first at bat. I mean, this thing was like four footer. 422 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: If you're gonna equate it to like baseball, I mean 423 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: he put it to the street. He's jogging around the 424 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: bases like he didn't do anything. Gets back. My wife 425 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: goes first of all, at that point, I don't think 426 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: she knew who it was. She goes, you always kick 427 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: it that far. He's pretty sure. He said no, but 428 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: I mean it was a bomb right over and he 429 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: and here's the thing. This is what I don't think 430 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people expected, myself included. He's a lefty, 431 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: so he just bombs it footed well, the first player 432 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: in right field, not to throw anybody on the bus 433 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: or our guy, our guy. We hied Garrett out there 434 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: exactly cos I'm over there at third base. I try 435 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: to get get in the baseline to try to slow 436 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: him down a little bit as he was rounding for home. 437 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: But he crushed it. He did. It was a bomb. 438 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: It was a bomb. But so, but so, the best 439 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: part about the whole night was once all the people 440 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: on our team. I mean, most of the guys on 441 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: our team are pretty big Ravens fans, but you know, 442 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: a couple of the girls don't tune into the sports 443 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: scene as as often as we do. I they had 444 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: another fairly large man pitching, total random person didn't know 445 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: who he was, but I convinced most of the people 446 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: on our team that he was a rookie draft pack. 447 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, so we had we had a bunch of 448 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: people going that there was like a bunch of Ravens 449 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: players out on the field when reality it was just 450 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: c J. Yeah, it was pretty funny. You guys never 451 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: did get season over, that's true. We got to ring 452 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: in the ringer for the playoffs. Maybe just championship game. 453 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: Championship game, that's how we get over the hurdle against 454 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: the White team. Nice good idea. Alright, So moving right along, 455 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: go to the real reason we brought you in here. 456 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: As we said, it's the referee our travel tract, which 457 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: we've put a lot of research, a thanky Garrett. I 458 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: had it on myself. I had it on the ravens 459 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: at which you all should be downloading. I was looking 460 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: at the team schedule, Yeah, exactly, but she made a 461 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: nice little print out here in color credit.

Exactly. Common man. So, uh, 466 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: as we've talked about on the podcast for a little 467 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: while here, there's been a question of whether Garrett and 468 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: I both were going to go to London, and that 469 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: was the first domino that had to fall, right. We've 470 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: basically been been pushing for six seven months now, both 471 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: of us go to Long Yeah, to take the ship, 472 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: take the ship across and go to the in London. 473 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: And we found out finally I asked our boss, Michelle 474 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: the Great Michelle Wise in generous Michelle, can you talk 475 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: him out, shameless plug? Can you kiss up anymore? Uh? 476 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: And she said yes, get your passports already. Yep. So 477 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: we're both going London. We're all our London listeners out 478 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: there are England listeners. I know we have a number 479 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: of them. We're coming for some pints baby from pick 480 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: the bar, pick the pub. We're coming, and we're gonna 481 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: do a lounge live from London. Yes. Absolutely. I'd also 482 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: like to throw in that this is where my nickname 483 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: really comes into play, because I truly am the common man. 484 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: No invite to London, gonna be sitting back here a 485 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: boy myself. We're gonna appreciate that anyway. So with that settled, 486 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Garrett has the first pick. This year. We rotate who 487 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: has the first pick and then we just go back 488 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: and forth from there. So Garrett, now we're both going 489 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: to London. Week three, Jacksonville, that's off the board. Who 490 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: and what game is your selection? First round pick this year? 491 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Green Bay Packers going to Lambeau and 492 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: the Frozen Tundra on November to see Aaron Rodgers in 493 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,719 Speaker 1: that game. That was an easy pick. That's a solid. 494 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: That's a cold. It's not even at night. It's not 495 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: at night. It's not like the Frozen that's that's it's 496 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: not like the mystique is going at one clock. Is 497 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: this your first trip to Yeah? Never been? And have 498 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: you been making every bucket list? Yes? Yeah, Well maybe 499 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: it'll squeak December. It's not gonna be that cold. Maybe 500 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: maybe I'll drive up for that one drive up. All right, 501 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: so your first pick, this is gonna feel good because 502 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: this isn't a surprise to Garrett preseason four. I'm going 503 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: to New Orleands total, all right, So this is like 504 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: in the draft when you know the Bears trained up 505 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: and get your whisky. Just everybody's mind, just so we'll 506 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: see how that works out from the Bears. Right now. 507 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: Here's here's my question. And I've been wondering about this 508 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: for years now because when you first when I first 509 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: started here and you guys were doing this, I always 510 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: thought the the opponent mattered. But it seems to me 511 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: that Mike is totally abandoned who the team is that 512 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: playing and it's solely based on the location. Literally, I 513 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: cannot pick a less important game, fourth preseason game in 514 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: New Orleans. But here's the thing. You get a night 515 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, you know, fun night, that's a good night. 516 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: Then you get all day the next day, you just 517 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: go out and you have some po boys stroll around. Look, 518 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: I've done preseason four in New Orleans. It's a good trip. 519 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: It's a good trip every time. Yeah, every time. I 520 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: don't I don't hate to pick. I don't hate to 521 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: pick a bit pick, but preseason preseason four is pretty poor. 522 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: All Right, this is gonna I think this pick right 523 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: here is going to catch the people by surprise. This 524 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: is this is one surprise pick. This is another surprise pick. 525 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: Preseason four surprised me. This pick, I think it's gonna 526 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: sur has a lot of people out there. Give second 527 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: round pick Week seven at Vikings, going to see Minnesota. 528 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: This second thing, I'm gonna have to say that I 529 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: don't like that. It's a good pill. That is a chair. 530 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: I mean, that's so so minx making the location picks. 531 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: Garrett's just going for the stadium. I'm gonna say, you know, 532 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: he wants to see the mills and whistles in Minnesota. 533 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: But I mean, what else is there? Well, anybody that 534 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: you talked to says that the trip to Minnesota is 535 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: a great trip, that Minneapolis is an awesome city. Got 536 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: family out there, got family out there. I'm gonna be 537 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: able to see during that trip. So that was put 538 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: on the NFC northward. I was going for some home cooking. Yeah, 539 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: something from home cooking. I made me value that a 540 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: little bit more. But that's okay because I set my 541 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: board and I don't draft based on your board. You 542 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: got you have to know when you can trade down 543 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: and still get the same pick. Right, I was gonna 544 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: take maybe my last pick. Yeah right, yeah right, I knew. 545 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: I knew Mike was thinking about a couple of weeks ago, 546 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago. True story here, common man. We're 547 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: sitting at Launching and makes trying to do some recon, 548 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: trying to find out about Minnesota. He's over there asking 549 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: John Iceberg. So you're a bit of media. What do 550 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: you think, John? It's an amazing city make over? There 551 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: taking notes. So he it was higher on his board. 552 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: He's putting up a front right now, he's going to 553 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: take in the next pick. I just stole it from him. 554 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: That's the other thing about this draft that amazed me. 555 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: You guys, seriously put more time after into researching these things. 556 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: Then you do a mock draft for the NFL draft. Absolutely, 557 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason. Well this, this impacts us more. Okay, 558 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: here we go my next big This is gonna be interesting. 559 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: This is gonna be really interesting. This is another surprise. 560 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: We're going pretty season two, going to Miami. Look, and 561 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Just did some research literally five minutes 562 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: before walking in here. Walk down to David ghost Law's cube, right, 563 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: who does a lot of our planning for trips. Ask him, 564 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: are we staying on the beach strong? Yes, he says, 565 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: not confirmed. Oh yes, he says that we're on the beach. 566 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: I got all day on the beach before the game. 567 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: That's late until. That is good until. But here's the thing. 568 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Miami the next day. It's not in Miami. 569 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: It's not it's not myam' sta a beautiful beach in Florida. Yes, yeah, 570 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: it's it's middle of August. So it's going to be 571 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen in Miami. Oh god, what a 572 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: great pick. You over you overvalue the Miami True. So 573 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: here's the other thing. I'll say this about the preseason games, right, 574 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: so Thursday night games. My weekends are still free. There's 575 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: also a good point. Thursday, it's just a regular weekday. 576 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: I'd be here in work, at work anyway. Weekend stay free. Yeah. 577 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: You also obviously my Saturday night at home with all 578 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: my friends. You don't have any friends? All right? Uh 579 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: So now third and this is I think this is 580 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: a good one here, Um, pretty easy I'm taking. I'm 581 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: going out to northern California. You're gonna spend some time 582 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: northern California at raiders. Yeah, I mean that two day 583 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: trip out to northern California. You can go up to 584 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco, spend a day in San Francisco. Here's you 585 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: know what this is right here? In my third round, 586 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: you get maybe the best trip on the calendar in 587 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: the third round. That's that's the Tim Williams from Alabama, 588 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: one of the top twenty players in the draft, slides 589 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: to the third round and you take him. Now, that's 590 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: where that gets taking that higher. But I have a 591 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: wedding that day that Saturday. Can't go good friends, wedding 592 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: gotta go to that thought about blowing it off just 593 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: for the travel draft, but yeah, I gotta go. Also, 594 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: might be the last chance to go see the Raiders, 595 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: and it is our last chance. Yeah, black hole, last chance. 596 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: So what I've been there before. I mean I'd rather 597 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: go wait and go to the next time when they're 598 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: the new stadium. It's a nice trip out to California. 599 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: Long flight, plus you get back. It's a four o'clock game. Okay, 600 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: so you're getting You're leaving there at like nine long 601 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: flight across the country. That's a rough one to come back. 602 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. I can't believe I got this pick. 603 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: I really gambled here with the Miami pick, gambled that 604 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: this will still be here. But I'm gonna go see 605 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: something that the country music now in Nashville Week nine. 606 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: Remember going down to Nashville for a night should be 607 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good game. Mink just racking up the cities 608 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: that he wants to see. But yeah, you know Rush. 609 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I I never didn't let this 610 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: cat out of the bag here on Nashville because I 611 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: didn't want make to know that I was completely couldn't go. 612 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: I had the same thing. That's nice, that one that 613 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: I just I kept that one hush hush, knew he 614 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: was going to take it and value it. Dude. I 615 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: was doing the same same thing with the Oakland thing 616 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: until I mistakenly, just on a week moment, spilled the 617 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: beast last week and it was like, I can't go 618 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: to that game, which really was a big miss. That 619 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: was dumb. It didn't end up costing me, didn't end 620 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: up costing me play. That's what I mean. I'm gonna 621 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: do on that. For the concealing the information, that's the 622 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: old GM trick, a little smoking mirrors before the draft. 623 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: For as much as we talk about this too, to 624 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: keep that secret, it's well done. Yeah that you're just 625 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,239 Speaker 1: a liar and secret keeper. Here's here's the other thing. 626 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. I'm going to Nashville this summer. 627 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: So I've got that. I've got the Nashville. You're gonna 628 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: be really hot. It's gonna be uncomfortable. I gotta yeah, 629 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: I don't know about Nashville and the song. Yeah, I'm 630 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: already going to Nashville, so so why would I be 631 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: beautiful up? All right? So now I'm up again. Now 632 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: we're basically we're to the NFC North schedule. Is that it? 633 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: That's that's it, all right? So I like, I wrote 634 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: my position right here. Well, I think I know how 635 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: this is going to play out. We'll see, but I'm 636 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna start it off by going, I'll 637 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: take Bengals Week one, allright, Week on now, I'm going, 638 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: We're seen at Steelers. Baby. That game, you know, it's 639 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: kind of rough. It's a late night, you get back 640 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: late that you fall asleep in your seal and then 641 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: playing out you're just happy to but it's Steelers. You're 642 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: happy at hines Field. I mean, I don't love going 643 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: to that game everysingly year just because you know the 644 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: stakes are gonna be high. It's Week fourteen, probably Division 645 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: division might be on the line at that point. It's 646 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: a great game. Somebody like football. I mean, come on, 647 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: I gotta say, I'm surprised that Steelers doesn't go a 648 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: little bit higher each year because I know you guys 649 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: get to go every year. However, you know I got 650 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: I got the chance to go to the playoff game 651 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago four when we won. And 652 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: that is a fun times, a good time. Yeah, it's 653 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: every single time. It's memorable and and it just gives 654 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: you the chills every time you cross that bridge on 655 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: the bus. You see the middle fingers from their fans 656 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: going in. It's just awesome. So I am thrilled. Last 657 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: pick is a Steelers sunlight football game. You're not even 658 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: a true football fans. No, look, I am with you 659 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: on that. That's a great trip. I still have nightmares 660 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: though from Christmas Day there last year, and and dealing 661 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: with that. I've gone, I've gone, I've gone. I think 662 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: maybe the past three years. You gotta get over your fears. 663 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: You can't let that to find. And also and also 664 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: as we talked about before, I placed a higher emphasis 665 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: and higher value on the Ohio trips. I've got family 666 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. I'm a family guy. I'm a family guy, 667 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: so I wanted to check that out for both Minnesota 668 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: and Cleveland Cincinnati. So that's like a free trip home. 669 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: You're the only guy in the world that was like, yeah, 670 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: I put his place a high priority, and going through 671 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: all I placed a high priority on family. So that's 672 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: that's what I do. That's why I'm going to this 673 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: preseason game so I can for the Sundays. So there 674 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: we go and just to recap here. So then you finished, 675 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: you finished out. I finished with Cleveland, Cleland with Cleveland. 676 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: So my god, Cody, Alright, Cody, let's recap. Go ahead, 677 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: give him your pap. All right. So my draft is 678 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 1: Green Bay, Minnesota, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Cleveland. Make mine is 679 00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: New Orleans, Miami, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Sunday Night football. And we 680 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: both have one you'd like me to do who had 681 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: the better draft? And you had the first pick. Let's 682 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: let's remember that. Well that's irrelevant because you have the 683 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: first pick next year and last year. Yeah, that's correct. 684 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: Both were week week travel years. I'm gonna I'm gonna 685 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: do this on three categories. One is going to be 686 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: quality of opponent, and for that, Garret, it's the point. 687 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: Oh come on, you got two preseason games that don't matter, 688 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: but Sunday night game the biggest game on the schedule. Yeah, 689 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: that's the only staying grace that you have to out 690 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: of your five games. Yeah. And then he has Jacksonville, right, yeah, 691 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: So that so then I'm gonna go quality of location, 692 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with make. Yeah, I would agree. 693 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look, here's the thing I don't disagree with that. Now, look, 694 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 1: Northern California a two day trip in northern California. Is 695 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: I highly saw it after That's nice. But he did 696 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: lockdown in Good Orleans, Miami, Nashville. He got some good 697 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: thinking about green Bay. Like Green Bay, the hotel is terrible. 698 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: There's nothing to do around there. From all accounts, have 699 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: you been there? I've done more intelligence, have you. I 700 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: do my due diligence, I do my research, but have 701 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: never Okay, you go to Lambeau is for Lambeau? Yes, 702 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: and you're not playing. You're sitting in the press box. 703 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. If I hadn't taken 704 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: Lambeau first pick, what would you have picked? You would 705 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: have taken Lambeau. Yeah, right, we all know that, but 706 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: I'll get it. Third category is intangibles. And I don't 707 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: mean intangibles with the picks. It's just intangibles that you 708 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: displayed while you drafted. So that goes for you know, 709 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: things like showboating, celebrations, music playing right now, money man'zell? 710 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: Are you going to Cleveland? Can't do I'll do the 711 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: lebron for going to Cleveland. Sit down, sit down. He's 712 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: gonna sudden change of events after of the scene. I've 713 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: decided to switch my winner I'm doing doing little club dancing. 714 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: You guys are both trying to lose, all right, the 715 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: Lebron sold it. I don't like Lebron. I've never liked Lebron. 716 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 1: I'm going with Ryan Mink as the winner the two 717 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 1: thousand seventeen draft. You know what, you know what, I'm 718 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: fine losing it for doing the Lebron. Basically he said 719 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: I won, as he said, he switched the winner. I 720 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: had it one and then the Lebron switched it against me, 721 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: which I'm fine with because I'll ride with Lebron and 722 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: the Calves all day long. I'm going to write them 723 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: to the NBA. Here's here's why. Yeah, I am gonna 724 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: stick with Mink as the winner because of the Lebron. 725 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: But I will say why because of why I was 726 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: gonna take Garrett, because I'm just not comfortable picking someone. Well, 727 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: I ended up picking you but two out of your 728 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: five games of preseason. And when I think about your profession, 729 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: your job, what you should be focusing on is covering 730 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: trul meaningful football games. Taking your first two picks, your 731 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: first two picks for the preseason shows awareness. So why 732 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,959 Speaker 1: you're doing this? Trass in Pittsburgh need I say more. 733 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: And that was your last pick that was defaulted to you. 734 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: You you could have taken Cleveland. You looked into that one. 735 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: You could have taken Cleveland. Could have taken Cleveland, and 736 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: I have Week three Jags. I'll be honest. If I 737 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: had the choice at Lambeau, I would going for it preseason. 738 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: I didn't have that, Okay, so yeah I went location. 739 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 1: The only other regular season game I passed up is Vikings, 740 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: which was a great pass. I appreciate. I appreciate it. You. 741 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: So I picked a preseason game over Minnesota easy or 742 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: over the season opener Cincinnati, that's true. Yeah, the season opener, 743 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: which is a pretty big game. Season I did. I did. 744 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,399 Speaker 1: That's why I was saying going into that. I would 745 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 1: have been happy with the season because that's always fun. 746 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: That's a big game. So anyway, like Cody said one, 747 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: I won this year's draft, and it's it's good to 748 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: win again.
