You know, made a 41 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: lot of plays and fans are really excited. Just you know, 42 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: when you're getting that much buzz and that much attention, 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: do you have to say, all right, all right, I 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: gotta block this out. I can't. I can't be on 45 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Twitter like I know people are could be like me up, like, 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: like how do you handle that as a rookie? Really, 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: just you know, just being with the model I've been 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: with my whole life, just being on my feet, are 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: really not doing it on the past, not looking too 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: far in the future, and just really just staying in 51 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: the moment because at the end of the day, this, 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: this is what I want to be, is what I 53 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: wanted to do with my whole life. So you know, 54 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: not worrying about whether I dropped the ball with that 55 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: made a big catches all his next play mentality. Now 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: you've impressed to the point where Lamar actually called you 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: mini Mark, when to me is a hog con. I 58 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: think Mark Andrew's best tighten football. So from a player's standpoint, 59 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: what ites particularly you can what things has you have 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: you learned watching Mark Andrews that have helped you even 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: in the short time that you've been with him as 62 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: a teammate. Really the way he approaches practice. I mean 63 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: he approaches every play like it's the last play of 64 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: the game. And that's really just something that jumps out 65 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: on the screen when you watch Mark Andrews. I mean, 66 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: the way he dissects defenses in the past game, the 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: way he approaches the run game, the same way he 68 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: approaches the past game, and just really just building upon 69 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: that in my game is just something that's always gonna 70 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: make me a better player. Right. That's one thing that 71 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: really stands out to me about Mark. It's like there's 72 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: never a day off, there's never a playoff, you know, 73 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: and that has to rub off on you as a 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: rookie to be like, dang, like that's the way I 75 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: gotta practice now, you know. And I just you know, 76 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: just having a great van Mark and Nick and really 77 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: just pat Rickard just the way they approach every day 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: like like it's and that's just the mentalities you have 79 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: to have. And that's how I didn't do you. Mark 80 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: in college was more of receiving tight end, you know, 81 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: split out wide a lot of times and stuff like that. 82 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: A guy who was really good at beating soon covered 83 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. How how much do you see 84 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: similarities in your style of play to what Mark did 85 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: in college. It's just really just preaching that chest piece. 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, whether it's in the slot, whether it's how wide, 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: whether it's in line, just really being that playmaker you 88 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: are and knowing that wherever you are on the field, 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the ball might come to you. And that's just the 90 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: connection that he made with Lamar, and Lamar knows like 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: wherever market is that might be most likely where the 92 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: ball going to be. So definitely just having that having 93 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: that mentality of really in college and bringing to NFL 94 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: and really just stamping at in his aspect, it is 95 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: something that I definitely want to do for myself right now. 96 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: Greg Roman is an offense winter loves using tight ends. 97 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: You're playing with a great time, Like Mark, are you 98 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: kind of licking your jobs thinking maybe cannot do in 99 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: an offense that loves tight ends. Playing with the tight 100 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: ended draws that much of touch from the defense. Really 101 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: just you know, just showing my abilities and and just 102 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: highlighting the points of my game that I've been preaching 103 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: from pre draft through college and even now and just 104 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: showing that being a sponge, I mean, just learning everything 105 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: at like a pro, being a pros pro and just 106 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: taking coaching, whether it's from Mark, Nick, power Car or 107 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: even coach George. I mean, just hearing everybody's you know, 108 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: thoughts and then really just aspects and ideas and then 109 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: throwing that all into my game is obviously gonna take 110 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: me to the next level. I mean, Harves said he 111 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: expects that you're gonna have a big role in this 112 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: offense this year, And I don't know, like, did you 113 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: come into the league thinking, yeah, my rookie year, like 114 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going out and playing a lot of offense, 115 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: making plays or what I mean, that's what you say 116 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: that everybody in your family. I mean, going as a rookie, 117 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna tell your family, Like okay, But 118 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: like in all reality, a lot of rookies don't see 119 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: the field that their first year just of you know, developing, 120 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: whether they're undeveloped, whether it depends on whether they came 121 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: from Power File, whether it's just growing into their role. 122 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: But you know, just having you know, the Ravens organization 123 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: show me that, hey, we could really use you in 124 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: this offense, whether it's you catching the football, whether it's 125 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: you in line, whether it's one tight end says two 126 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: Titan says, three Titan says or even four. I mean 127 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 1: just putting me putting the best players on the field 128 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: to win the game is obviously always what they're going 129 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: to do, right, That's what I was curious about. It's like, 130 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: do you realize that if that comes to fruition, like 131 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: that is rare, right? I mean, like Dennis pitt Up, 132 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: he was a really good Ravens student for a long time, 133 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: had one catches rookie year. He got blasted behind Its amazing. 134 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: I like to tease about that this day. Um. And 135 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: then Mark Andrews, I think here I wrote it down, 136 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: he had thirty four. I think thirty four catches is 137 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: a rookie right, which is good, right, But it's not 138 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: like a monster season, you know who. It remains me 139 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: seeing what you have to do as a rookie, but 140 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: like it's that's that's hard to do, right, is like 141 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: come into the NFL and put up big numbers as 142 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: a rookie, and like do you feel like you know, 143 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: because it looks like that's what you're heading for is 144 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: a big role? Like how does that sit on your shoulders? Uh? 145 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: I really just try not to like buy into that 146 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: because like as a rookie is going to dwell on 147 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: you because not only are you learning the playbook, you're 148 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: also learning to get on the same uh aspects of 149 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: passing as the quarterback, because not only is Mark Andrews 150 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: and offense, but you have a shot Bateman, so you 151 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: obviously have him getting his touches, so you obviously know 152 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: that you're most likely gonna be the third option. So 153 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: like now it's becoming of, Okay, how do I express 154 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: my game more to be able to be a part 155 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: of the offense and be able to and then really 156 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: just be able to highlight what I can do in 157 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: the game if some things aren't working, to put everybody 158 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: back on put everybody back on track, because at the 159 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: end of the day, everybody's gonna have a down snap. 160 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: It's just being that player and be and that all 161 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: eleven being a united team to be able to play 162 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: everybody back on trail. Well. And I imagine that Mark 163 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: Andrews is going to see a few double teams probably 164 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: and that means hey man, best right, But that means 165 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: like you're probably getting single looks, you know, And so 166 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: if coaches said that to you and stress that to you, 167 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: like hey man, if they're just if they sell out, 168 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: if they do everything in their power to take Mark 169 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: out of the game, which is still gonna be really hard. 170 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: But if they try that, like hey, I say, it's 171 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be on you to make some place ones. 172 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: That's why I tell myself every day, it's just winning 173 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: one on ones, whether it's in the running game with 174 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: us in the past game, and just make sure that 175 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: man in front of you does not stop you from 176 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: doing your job. I like it now. I confess I've 177 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: never been to a game in Coastal Carolina, but I 178 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: imagine he is a little different than what it will 179 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: be an NFL stadium. So Week one, coming out the tunnel, 180 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: how are you gonna go about keeping your emotions in check? 181 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: And what do you think are some of the things 182 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: going to be going through your mind? I mean, I'm 183 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: gonna get some jitters. I mean, I'm a rookie. I'm 184 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit of jitters. But once I 185 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: step in between the white lines, I know it's business 186 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: and I know that I'm a pro. So like now, 187 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: it's approaching the game like a pro and knowing that no, 188 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: no matter outside, no it is, no matter what the 189 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: fans are saying that I'm locked in for my team 190 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: for one common goals to win. You've already experienced another 191 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: preseason game. You're you're opener. Made some plays in the 192 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: passing game for sure. Now, one thing people were also 193 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: talking about afterwards with the blocking penalties, Right, I'll be 194 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: honest with you, becauld you had a third on the 195 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: fourth down version, honestly, So, I mean that's that's something. 196 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure that it was a takeaway for you. It's like, 197 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: I want to improve that part of game. How was 198 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: it technique? Like? How did you come away feeling about that? 199 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: It really is just the things that you quote got 200 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: away with in college with whether it's your hands, whether 201 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: it's your feet stopped moving on contact. And then I mean, 202 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: now you're you're in the pros, the little things what 203 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: the reps are gonna call. So just really just approaching 204 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: that in practice and making sure that not only in 205 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: my practicing get happens that translates to the game. But 206 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: I'm learning from my mistakes. And is there a part 207 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: of you that says, you know, like I was talking 208 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: about with Mark in college, you know, he wasn't a 209 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: big time known for his blocking coming out of college, 210 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: but he became a good blocker. Is that something for 211 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: you that you're really focused on because you don't want 212 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: the defense no likely in the game they're gonna throw 213 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: the ball. Yes, And that's just something that me and 214 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: Mark talked about really on the side, like through every situation, 215 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: every pier we go through, because at the end of 216 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: the day, he you get most of your catches, most 217 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: of your really your yards have to catch everything off 218 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: of being able to block, because if if they can't, 219 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: if they don't know whether it's run or pass when 220 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: you're in the game, then that just creates a whole 221 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: another level of ease for you and a lot of 222 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: weight off your shoulders. Right. I want to go back 223 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: into your history a little bit, and lake Cliff mentioned 224 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: you went to Coastal Carolina. So my first question about 225 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: that is, what the heck is a Chanta clear Sonic Clear? Sorry? 226 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: Really is just I mean, it's a it's a rooster 227 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: that guards the barn. Oh you know that. See somebody 228 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: said it was a night that was totally off. A 229 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: rooster that guards the barn. Now I had some backyard chickens. 230 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: I didn't have a rooster they're all hands because we 231 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: wanted to tour that if I didn't have a guard, 232 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: would have been the play. All right. I just learned 233 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: something that's pretty cool. And so how did you land 234 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: at Coastal Carolina being you know, you grew up outside 235 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: of Boston boarding Cambridge, um, you know, and I know 236 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: you had some other offers. How did you end up 237 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: landing there? Really just being on the recruited I took 238 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: my first and only official visits to Close to Carolina 239 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: and fell in love with really not only the atmosphere, 240 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: but the coaching staff. I mean they preached that you 241 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: know that they understood that they were working progress. I 242 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: mean coming off of a three and nine season, knowing 243 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: that they had to change a lot of things in 244 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: the offense, and they thought that, you know, bringing me 245 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: a board would just help them in a big way. 246 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: And looking back on all the offers I had and 247 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: then the interest I was getting, I realized that I 248 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: wanted to play right away. I mean I wanted to 249 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: help an offense now. And then that's just something that 250 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: coaches at Coast to Carolina told me that I could 251 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: definitely do if I learned to playbook right away, and 252 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: really just accummend to you know, the college level, and 253 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: that's definitely something I just put my foot down and said, okay, 254 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: let's do it. I read that you were also being 255 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: recruited as a wide receiver, but you wanted to play 256 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: tight end. Why was that really? I mean because at 257 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I knew that when it 258 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: when it was all said and done, and where I 259 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: wanted to be, which is the NFL, that I was 260 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: going to be recruited as a well picked up as 261 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: a tight drafted in the NFL, you'd be a tight end, 262 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: right right? Interesting, And you've been playing football since you're 263 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: like four, four years all the baby's baby now, So 264 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: when you were when you were a big baby, I 265 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: was a chubby baby. So when you're a big baby, 266 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: you could kind of sneak onto a little team. You 267 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: can sneak on playing on That's crazy? Was it like flat? 268 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: What is four year old football? I understand reading about 269 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: your your high school program was pretty big time with 270 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: state champs. I believe you how much because some coming 271 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: here doesn't look like anything has been too big for 272 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: you so far, Like, do you think anything about that 273 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: background kind of prepared you for you know, being on 274 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: a big stage that you know, in high school, you 275 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: were playing in big games and we're playing with the program. 276 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: It was expected to win. I mean coming from a 277 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: high school where you had no other option but to 278 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: win games was definitely, you know, something I just kept 279 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: going through my whole life. I mean, just winning was 280 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: always the motto, whether it was in college and now 281 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: it's in the NFL.

I mean, 314 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: and then here's what's kind of crazy. I've never heard 315 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: about a tight end scoring a ninety nine yard touchdown 316 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: and then coming out of the draft people wondering about 317 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: his speed. You're the first in history, right because you 318 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: ran the four eight of the combine and that was 319 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: the question, right, Like was that just preposterous to you 320 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: that people were doubting your speed after you you guys 321 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: see the nine yard I didn't get you know, I 322 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: mean then that I told people. I mean if they 323 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: was gonna go out forty times and that's what it is. 324 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: But I played football then day. I mean, whether it's 325 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: in like how everybody's been watching preseason training camp, like 326 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: I don't get hot down so right, I'm a game time, 327 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: practice time football player. And that track speed you guys 328 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: can have. It is that what you did you meet 329 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: with the Ravens, like after the combine? Did you tell 330 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: them like were you preaching that? And every Yeah, I 331 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: told that to every team. I mean if they was 332 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna go off the numbers and that right, and that's 333 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: what they want to do. But at the end of the 334 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: the day, I play football, right since I was four. 335 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about your hands because that's one 336 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: thing you know, when Cliff and I are watching practice, 337 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: that we often are commenting on it's like that you've 338 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: got pillars for hands, Like it's just crazy. I mean 339 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: through contact everything, Like you just catch the ball so 340 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: naturally is that just wraps? Is that plan? Since you're four? 341 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: How do you have such soft hands? See, I'm gonna 342 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: let you out in a little here we go. Really 343 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: wear glasses, but I don't wear context. You're Tony Jeffer seeing. Wait, 344 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: so why I just mean contact? No work? So you're 345 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: just going fuzzy out there? What's it's not even fuzzy, 346 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: it's it's dip see. See it's different. I could see 347 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: the football clear as day, But when it comes to 348 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: like reading signs far away and stuff like, it gets 349 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: real blurry. That's interesting. You better know you're down in 350 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: some distance saying I don't. I'm saying so when you 351 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: if if you guys see me out there squinting, it's 352 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: it's because I can't really I'm trying to focus in 353 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: on yards or really just seeing whether what's going on. 354 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: So when it comes to football, catching the football and stuff, 355 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: it's it's like the back of my hand. That's really interesting. 356 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Have you talked to Tony about this whole thing? Is 357 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: done with. And that's why I tell people if you 358 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: can't catch us on you because I feel like it's 359 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: a feel thing. It's Tony had some struggles catching the ball. 360 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: I know it's true, but that's funny. So you butt 361 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: you the ball, it's just you losing interesting interesting you've 362 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: been making. As we've talked about a lot of catchers 363 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: in practice, I know all these guys are very competitive. 364 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: So who's been talking to most trash to you in practice? 365 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: The most trash? I definitely probably either Marcus or Marlon 366 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: one of them. Marcus Williams, Yes, because I have to Clerica. 367 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters trash from the side. Oh yeah, he well 368 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: the first the first couple of days and well yeah, 369 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: o t as when I was here, he was talking 370 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: trash because he was, yeah, you've seen the ones, let 371 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: me see you keep doing it. And I kept doing 372 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: it and he kind of sentmered down. And then but 373 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: Mark Marcus Marcus Williams, he hi hill chirp, especially if 374 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: I bobble one or if I dropped one. And yeah, 375 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day with him talking. And 376 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: the Marlin is it is just I see him a lot, 377 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: whether it's in the slot or wherever I go out wide, 378 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: so if I catch one, he's always trying to punch 379 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: the ball away, and like the other day he had 380 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: punched one and one on ones and still haunts me 381 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: because they'll always still tell me because we are lockers 382 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: are like three three lockers apart. Interesting. How much do 383 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: you think that's helped you going against guys like that. 384 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: It's helped me tremendously because not only are you playing 385 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: with the best defense in the NFL, but you also 386 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: competing every day with them. So it's just gonna make 387 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: the games a lot easier. Like preseason, I felt like 388 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: I was just in my element. Interesting and Kyle Hamilton's 389 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's always like what's that been like? And 390 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: how how's that process been? We've been called the showdown. 391 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: And I feel like every time we go up for 392 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: one on ones, me and Kyle just we don't even 393 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: have to look at each other. No, Like he just 394 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: knows when it's my turn. He jumps up, and I 395 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: know when we'll look at each other and obviously know 396 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: like Okay, you're tired, No, okay, let's go again. And 397 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: that's definitely iron shopping and iron because he's the he 398 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: was the best in the draft at his position. So 399 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: it's just really just you know, going about it every 400 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 1: day and really just harping on little things and like 401 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: it it's right work because if I, if I, if 402 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: he deflects a pass, I'm right there asking him would 403 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: you see would you would you jump on? And if 404 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I catch when he's doing the same thing. So it's 405 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: just really just harpen on little things to just make 406 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: us better when the season comes. Alright, last one for me. 407 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: You know, not everybody gets invited onto the lounge, especially 408 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: not many guys get repeat invites onto the lounge. Do 409 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: you think you'll get a repeat invitation? Highly likely? Alright, man, Isaiah. Awesome, well, 410 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: good stuff from Isaiah. We want to remind fans that 411 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: the sports landscape is ever changing and this week is 412 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: no different.

So, Cliff, what do you think, Guys 422 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: A likely, very personal young man, extremely talented, and I 423 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: think that Ravens fans are gonna love him on and 424 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: off the field. I just think that he it's funny 425 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: to me that he wasn't the first type then even 426 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: drafted by the team this year, and that, yeah, he's 427 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: coming to a place where, you know, I feel like 428 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: he can fit right in immediately. A lot of rookies 429 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: don't get a chance to play right away, even if 430 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: they're pretty good. He looks like he's gonna have an 431 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: opportunity right away to have an immediate impact on this offense, 432 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem too big for him. I mean, 433 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: we'll learn a lot as it gets closer to regular season, 434 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: then ding the regular season, but I'm really impressed so 435 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: far what I see. Yeah, I agree, it is really 436 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: interesting just the story of how he landed here because 437 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: the Ravens took Charlie Koehler earlier in the fourth round, 438 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't have the intention of taking another tight end. Uh. 439 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: They had their eyes on a wide receiver who ended 440 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: up going to the Steelers one pick before the Ravens 441 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: were on the clock, and uh, I think it was 442 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: Eric da Costa. Turned to Greg Roman or John it 443 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: was either it was John. Harbaugh turned to Greg Roman 444 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: said can you find a spot for him? And Greg? 445 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: You know Greg tight end? Greg's like tight end or 446 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: you can six tight ends? Right? Yeah, exactly? Can we 447 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: take one in the net with the next pick after 448 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: this one? Two? Uh? So he said, yes, I will 449 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: find a spot and turns out man. Now Charlie Cohler 450 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: has a sports turney surgery, and Isaiah likely it's hard 451 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: to imagine this offense without him at this point. Yeah, 452 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: it speaks to the Ravens philosophy of best player available. 453 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, some teams would think, look, we already took 454 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: a tight end, we're not taking another one right behind. 455 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: But the Ravens don't. He's the top guy on the BP, 456 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: guy on the board. They took him, and I don't 457 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: think anybody saw that they did. Yeah. I think this 458 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: is just speculation, but my guess is that they probably 459 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: went into that fourth round saying, we hope we get Bowler, 460 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: but if we don't get colder, we'll get likely because 461 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: I think they said they were pretty evenly ranked on 462 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: their board, right, And they probably went into that fourth 463 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: round of staying, we're gonna get one of these two guys, right, 464 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: both receiving threats a little different physically, but uh I 465 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: got both of them in what a bonanza? Yeah? I 466 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: mean also speaks to the combine. You know, likely didn't 467 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: run the fastest time. How much weight sometimes the combine 468 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: plays in the draft? I think sometimes too much weight. 469 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: You look at the film of this guy. You look 470 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: at the numbers he puts up, the way he catches 471 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: the ball, how he controls his body. To me, you 472 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: don't go away from him based off of one performance 473 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: of the combine. But it's probably fortunate for the Ravens 474 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: that that happened because blowing up with the combine, he 475 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: never would have seen Baltimore. Absolutely, he would have been 476 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: a third round potentially. Um. Absolutely. And there's another a 477 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: number of examples of that happening where the Ravens say, 478 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: all right, we'll take the guy or Lender Brown Jr. 479 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: Is the famous one for all sos was another the 480 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: one guys who didn't have good combines and end up 481 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: landing right in the Ravens laughs. And I'm glad you 482 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: bring up the way he can kind of contort his 483 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: body is pretty unique. We talked about his hands, but 484 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: the way he can really adjust midair. Uh, just the 485 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: the range that he has kind of the wingspan and 486 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: the ability to the hole on catches away from his 487 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: body is really impressive. So a lot to like. Yeah, 488 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: all right, so let's jump into some questions. You've got 489 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: some good to emails. Unfortunately some of these are involved Garrett, 490 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: but we'll be get You're okay talking about pumpkin beer. Okay, alright, alright, 491 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: good thing, all right. This one comes from the Letty 492 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: Samella and the question is says, hey, Ryan and Clifton, 493 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: we'll just sub that him. Pumpkin beer season is just 494 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: around the corner. Looking forward to seeing what draft Mink 495 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: squanders next. Thanks a lot, Niltti. That was like you 496 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: and your Coastal Carolina shot. I thought he was gonna 497 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: walk out, Cliff. I've never been like, you know, do you? Uh? 498 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: He says, I've been wondering if you think that Brandon 499 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: Williams and Jimmy Smith will draw any interest from other 500 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: clubs this season, or if they'll just kind of quietly retire, 501 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: possibly get involved at the Ravens behind the scenes like 502 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: so many other players for that matter, Is t Sizzle 503 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: officially retired? I think Tis is done. I don't know 504 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: that the paperwork is ink. Which is I mean, which 505 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: is no worthy because that would start his Hall of 506 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: Fame clock delays it. Yes, maybe he's like really playing 507 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: the strategically and looking at when no other good pass 508 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: rushers would be eligible. Oh, that would be very much 509 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: of his alley. All right, So the question of Brandon 510 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: Williams and Jimmy Smith, what do you think Jimmy I 511 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: will start with him. I think he's retired. He Jimmy 512 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: said last year he didn't want to play with any 513 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: other team but the Ravens that I could always change. 514 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: But the Ravens obviously now have a lot of core 515 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: or depth. I'm not sure that Jimmy is thinking in 516 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: terms of playing. He got married and off season. I 517 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: think he went into last season feeling like it wasn't 518 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: last season. So I don't think Jimmy Smith will be 519 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: back playing for anyone. Brandon Williams. It wouldn't surprise me 520 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: if at some point a team makes an offer to him. 521 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how Brandon feels about continuing his career, 522 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: but I certainly think he could play if he wants to. 523 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: And they're always are going to be injuries, so that 524 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if Brandon Williams shows up this year 525 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: playing for Song right, even mid season, sure, I agree 526 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: with that. I think it depends on the situation. Obviously, 527 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: it would depend on you know, we don't know what 528 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of shape Brandon is and whether he's keeping whether 529 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: he wants to play and he's keeping himself in shape 530 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: or not. But I'll tell you this, Brandon Williams can 531 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: stop the run point blank right. He can help somebody 532 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: if they lose their nose tackle and say, you know what, 533 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: we need a better run stop when we're getting run 534 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: all over. Brandon Williams has proven it over his career, 535 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: So if he wants to play, I agree with you. Now, 536 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: I'll say, both players to me seem like they would 537 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: be fine with turning their you know, their lives to 538 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: the next page. You know, I mean, they both have families, 539 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: their family guys, and I think that both could easily 540 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: say you know what, I think I'm ready for that 541 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: next stage in life, and they both have careers to 542 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: be proud of. Exactly. For sure, jim I wouldn't have 543 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl ring for Jimmy Smith, I'll tell you 544 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: that much. Um. All right, this next one comes from Ashley. 545 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: Flegel says, first, I want to say thanks to Ryan 546 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: for letting me say hi to him at the club 547 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: level the Ravens Titans game. I was taking a hot 548 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: dog to my kid up in the came for the 549 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: preseason game. You know you've got to hook the kid 550 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: up with a hot dog. Yeah, it's good deed exactly. 551 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: I agree, Cliff, Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Um. 552 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: And for let me just say this, Ashley, don't wordy 553 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: letting me say hi, I love meeting our fans. So 554 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: it's not letting you say I love talking to our fans. 555 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: Do a man of the people. I'm not a big 556 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: time if you she was expecting an enterbase. You know 557 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: that's what you're here a cliff, Come on, man, Ashley says, 558 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: don't worry, Garrett. I did remind him that he flunked 559 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: that summer draft. You guys, did I did? She did 560 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: say that. She goes, yeah, She's like, man, you're flowing. 561 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: Every draft you get balled. It's like get wrong, gin't wrong, 562 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: not every draft. Uh So, Ashley says, I was watching 563 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: the game and noticed that Jordan's Stout was doing the kickoffs. 564 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: Is this something that he will be doing all season? 565 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: If so, are there any reasons for that? Is it 566 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: the save Tucker's leg for those sixty five yard game 567 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: winning field? I think she means sixty six yard gee exactly. Um. 568 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that Jordan's Stout is going to be 569 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: doing the majority of Ravens kickoffs this year. I think 570 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: that that's still Justin Tucker's job. He does have a 571 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: leg though, Like if the Ravens felt like late in 572 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: the season, you know, the ball is hard, it's like 573 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: kicking a rock. Justin Tucker says, was, you know what, 574 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: I'll sit this one out. Here's what I'll say. I 575 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: think it would probably be up to Justin Tucker. I 576 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 1: think if Justin Tucker said, you know what, I just 577 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: I want to say my leg a little bit more? 578 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: Can can Stout take it? I think the Ravens would 579 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: say sure, I agree. I mean, it's it's a blessing 580 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: to have two kickers this talented. I mean Stout is 581 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: impressive when you watch him kick the football, particularly punting 582 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: the football, It's just it just sounds different coming off 583 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: his leg. He's extremely talented. I think the Ravens talked 584 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: about his athleticism before the drag is true. He's not 585 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: just a partner. He's an athlete. And if they want 586 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: him to do kickoffs and Tucker, as you said, wants 587 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: to give himself a break, they can. But I think 588 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: for now it's Tucker's job. But I do think moving forward, 589 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, Stout is a guy drafting kickers. I'll say, well, 590 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: why are you driving a kicker so high? You figure 591 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a punter? Yeah, a pun You're gonna 592 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: get ten years out of these guys. Probably, it's not 593 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: just you know, most player positions thinking three, four or 594 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: five years, you'll be satisfied with that. So as Tucker 595 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: gets a little more advanced, it will save long term 596 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: career if someone likes Stout can eventually take. When we 597 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: saw that with Matt Stover, you know, I think it 598 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: was Gosh who was the guy they o? G Ravens 599 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: fans will correct me on this, but they brought in 600 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: a kicker late in his career that took handled kickoffs. Um, 601 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: but I'm blanking on his name and I don't want 602 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: to look it up on my phone right now, So 603 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: let's move on. Next question. Okay from Patrick? This one 604 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: comes from Patrick Kun. Uh, We're gonna get like ten 605 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: emails with the name of the kicker. We haven't even 606 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: put this out yet. Um. This one's from Patrick Kun. 607 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: The question is coming out of preseason week one. Are 608 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: there any Ravens players whose stock is up, albeit from 609 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: positions with high depth, who could serve as trade capital 610 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: to reinforce a position of need? Essentially, do you see 611 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: someone that likely won't make the fifty three but it's 612 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: good enough to be packaged in a trade to make 613 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: somebody else's fifty three and get some value back, whether 614 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: that be a player or a draft pick. Wow, Okay, well, 615 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm a little it is I'm a little sensitive about 616 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: talking about it. Let's just shift this guy out of 617 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: town whatever. But I will say it looks like the 618 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna have a lot of depth in the secondary. 619 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: And I feel like you're saying corner safety, well both, 620 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: but definitely corner. Usually it's like corners are getting heard 621 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: and You're worried about the corner death even before the 622 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: draft this year and going into off seasons, like, what 623 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: are the Ravens gonna do about corner death? Now they've 624 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: draft a couple of fowned quarters, they bring in you know, 625 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: Cal Fuller. Now it looks like they're having a buttus 626 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters coming back. So the Ravens are in a position. 627 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: I will say that they have one of the deepest rosters. 628 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: I feel the NFL and also teams are gonna be 629 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: looking at their roster thinking they can't keep all these 630 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: good players. Right, So would it shot me to see 631 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens make a deal, you know, towards Week one 632 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: because another team makes the call and says, hey we 633 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: want this guy and we don't want them, you know, 634 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: going somewhere else. We want to make a deal with you. No, 635 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: it wouldn't. And we know how much Eric loves draft picks. 636 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: So yes, that could happen, right, I would say it's 637 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: more likely than not. But hits it again, Yeah, yeah, 638 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: are you rolling your eyes? Nailed it? They wouldn't know 639 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: that if you didn't say, but yes, I want I'll 640 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: point to this. I think, oh line, I think if 641 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: they're going to trade somebody. It's on the interior offensive line. 642 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: There's obviously a three way guard battle going on. I 643 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: like the way Tyree Phillips put it today to Tyree 644 00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: Phillips and the bends, Ben Cleveland, the Ravens definitely have 645 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: some death there. They have some a little they have 646 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: some depth at center. Um, they even have tackled death. 647 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: They have a lot of depth on the offensive line. 648 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: They have some tough decisions there. Not everybody's gonna make 649 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: the team. If they were gonna make a trade, I 650 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: think it would be more likely I won't hit the 651 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: drum again, uh that it would be on the offensive 652 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: line to me than at cornerback. And I do think 653 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: that they will make a trade. We've seen it. Ben 654 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: Reticon was traded. I think Next Showfield was traded. Uh. 655 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: I think Alex Lewis was traded to the Jets a 656 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: few years ago. I think that was a trade situation. 657 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the Ravens have a history of that. And 658 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: and I'll also add this, the Ravens are not in 659 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: line for many maybe one. Yeah, compics that are looking 660 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: a little low next year, you know, you know, Eric 661 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: costs done like that, So that he's gonna be looking 662 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: for some more picks to your point. Last question comes 663 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: from Paula Coney. I hope I pronounced that right, Paul. 664 00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: His question is, will Kyle Fuller start? I will say, obviously, 665 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, Marlon Humphrey great corners. Peters seems to be 666 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: So we're gonna say, let's say, I that's the obviously 667 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: answer to start. Let's say three. Right. If we're saying 668 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: there's three starting corners, is Kyle full or one of them? 669 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I will still say no, because I don't 670 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: think that's his strongest position. He's played it, he did 671 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: it in Denver a little, but I still feel like 672 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: his best spot is outside and that the Ravens have 673 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: a lot of options for the slot corner. So no, 674 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: I will still say that he will not be a starter. 675 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: I could see him being a guy who sees the 676 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: field a lot, and obviously he's great to have someone 677 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: with that experience, you know, in case you don't want 678 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: to wear Marcus out early, you know, saying somewhere and 679 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: tear early or somebody gets hurt. But no, I don't 680 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: think full It will be a starter. But yes, I 681 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: feel that he will be in the mix. Here's the 682 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: factors in play here. Uh. Hey, I think Brandon Stevens 683 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: is a guy that Ravens fans are not giving enough 684 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: attention to that could end up being one of the 685 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: top three wide receivers. B I'm sorry, Corners, Yes, b Uh. 686 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey would not surprise me if he plays nickel 687 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: with some frequency in three wide situations this year. We've 688 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,479 Speaker 1: all seen him thriving the nickel. He's really good around 689 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: the ball. He's really good right. He plays the game 690 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: like a linebacker is what people talk about, so putting 691 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: him close to the line of scrimmage is not a 692 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: bad thing. Uh And and Brandon Stevens can play outside 693 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: as well, so can call Fuller like you said, but um, 694 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: Brandon's that gives the Ravens of flexibility. The other part 695 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: of that is that how much of these rookies gonna play? 696 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: Because if Jalen armor Davis is healthy, he looks good 697 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 1: out there. Pemmy Williams, we all know how I feel 698 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: about pepe Um. So it's not just that I think 699 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens really like what they have Brandon Stevens. Also, 700 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: it's that there's also some rookies that are are challenging 701 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: Cale Fuller for reps as well. So, um, it's a 702 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: good problem to have. I agree with you. I would 703 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 1: probably say I would probably give the edge to Brandon 704 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: Stevens in a three cornerback package as of right now, 705 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 1: do you want to remind fans to please subscribe, rate, 706 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: and review the lounge gonna be making those calls more 707 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: and more now.
