1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We are here

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: to break down the fifty three man roster predictions what

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: we think is gonna happen between now and Tuesday at

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: four pm, when teams have to get down the fifty three.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: I am joined by Clifton Brown, still stepping in for

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: Garrett Downing. Uh to Cliff, just coming off a seventeen

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: fifteen preseason finale win over the Washington Commanders. The Ravens

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: streak lives on twenty three straight games. Uh, you know,

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: somewhat interesting game. I don't think it really cleared up

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot of roster decisions for me. Outside of

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: there a couple little bumps and bruises, some injuries along

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: the way that I think impacted what my finalists looked like.

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Most notably, Poe haven't be carded off. Now he's off,

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: my fifty three probably gonna have to be on the

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: go on the I R. You just couldn't. Oh, I couldn't.

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't resist. I see you shaking her all thoughts

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: to Poe, best wishes you know, for speedy recovery. John

18
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 1: Harball said this had to start out with a Poe injury. Update.

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: John Harball said, we're waiting m R. I results, of course,

20
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: with bated breath, you know, waiting to see what that says.

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Huge roster implications there. So we'll just have to see,

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: we will. I mean, somehow I think that that wasn't

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: what was keeping John up at night. But let's best

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: of Poe, it was. It was for me. I know, Brian,

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: you care, just just you're just a sweethearted guy. Man.

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: What can I say? Exactly exactly? Um? Alright, so Cli,

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: let's jump into it. Do you have your Do you

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: have your final roster prediction in front of you? I do.

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: It's fluid, but it's there. Yes. Oh wow, we're making

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: we're making decisions all right here. Oh uh. For those

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: who want to get this in written form, uh kind

32
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: of follow along that way as you listen. I released

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: my fifty three man prediction last night in the breakdown

34
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: immediately following the game, so you can follow along there. Um,

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: we'll start at the top. Let's go quarterback. I don't

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: think there's too many decisions to be made here. Cliff

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Whore you're keeping at QB. Let me see here, Yeah,

38
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean Lamar and Tyler. I think the biggest takeaway

39
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: from since training camp to me is how good both

40
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: of them have looked uh doing what they do Lamar

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: and practices look great. And then you know, Tyler Huntley

42
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: has really been fabulous the preseason action he got. So

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: there's teams out there wondering who they're starting quarterback is

44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: going to be and wondering how that start is going

45
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: to play. The Ravens have two very good quarterbacks. They're

46
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: blessed uh to be in that position, and that bodes

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: well for for them this season. Absolutely. I think the

48
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie Anthony Brown uh coming out of Oregon as

49
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: somebody that has definitely improved of the preseason. I think

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good for for really over the course

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: of the summer. Uh, and you've seen him take steps forward.

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean some two really nice deep balls last night

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: to DeMarcus Robinson. Uh. He's he's just played well, throwing

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: the ball well. And and you know, he even said

55
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: after the game that he kind of looks at Snoop

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: as kind of a model for the way he wants

57
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: to get into the league, you know, coming in as

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie out of the pack twelve and and

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: kind of making a career for himself, and that's what

60
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown Jr. Would like to do. I think he's

61
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: put his best foot forward in doing so so far,

62
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't surprise me if he lands on the

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Ravens practice squad, if they keep him as their third quarterback. Yeah,

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's what they want to happen, is for

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: him to do that. Said that he can make that

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: progression like Snoop and you had some players would look

67
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: at going to a team that has Lamar and Snoop

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: is a disadvantage. I think Anthony Brown had the perfect attitude.

69
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: He's like, I can learn so much from these guys.

70
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Hats off to Lamar and for really taking him under

71
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: their wing. And it certainly showed by the way he

72
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: played last night that he has benefited from this experience,

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: whether it lasts with him being on a practice squad

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: or whether he ends up going somewhere else. Totally totally alright,

75
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: So running back and this was one of the first

76
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: tougher decisions for me. Uh. Ravens are obviously keeping J. K.

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Dobbins uh, And then you had to really decide between

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: Mike Davis, Justice Hill, Tyler Beatty and Nate McCrary, how

79
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: many you were going to keep there? I I ended

80
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: up keeping four running backs with with Davis, Justice, and

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: Tyler Beatty. Uh. I have Nate McCary off the squad,

82
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: but I was between keeping three and four running backs.

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: In the end, I went with four, keeping Justice Hill

84
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: just because I think, you know, he offers something special

85
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: teams wise. He's a change of pace back, different kind

86
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: of back than the other two. He's looked explosive getting

87
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: to the edge as a perimeter player, possible receiver in

88
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: this offense. Coming off that Achilles, it's been really impressive.

89
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: But he's accomplished. I just think that, you know, while

90
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: nobody separated themselves in preseason games, Justice has looked very

91
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: good at in in practice, and I don't think the

92
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Ravens want to go especially as Dobbins is not yet

93
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: back to full practice yet. They don't want to be

94
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: late at running back and like they were last year

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: that was a problem and not so to me. I

96
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: think I created one extra spot there to carry a

97
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: fourth running back, right. I don't see them going with

98
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: just three for the reasons that you just mentioned. Uh.

99
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: I like Justice Hill all the things you mentioned. He

100
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: definitely a solid to special teams player to me. As

101
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: John Harba mentioned, he looks as fast, if not faster,

102
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: than he did before he got hurt. He uh, definitely

103
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: can catch passes as you mentioned. Out to backfield. Also,

104
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens the whole running game has been

105
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: extremely vanilla. You know, pre preseason, great Roman, he keeps

106
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: plays back during a regular season, He's careful about what

107
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: he shows you. Certainly in the preseason. The fact that

108
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: nobody could separate themselves, I think was kind of the

109
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: schemes they were running. It was just hard for for

110
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: guys to really show what they could do. But yeah,

111
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't see them to keeping just three. I don't

112
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: see them parting with Justice Hill. So yes, I think

113
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be Dobbins early in the season not

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: getting as much work as late, and then having Davis

115
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Hill and Batty behind him. Yep, yep, I agree. Uh,

116
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: fullback is obvious. Pat Ricard. You know, Ben Mason had

117
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: the one hander last night, which was a nice little catch.

118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: The Ravens brought back Ben Mason in January, but that

119
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: was before they resigned pat Ricard. He was a free

120
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: agent at the time. Didn't know how exactly how that

121
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: would end up Ravens. I think you know, very wise

122
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: and unfortunate for both sides that he returned, so he

123
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: takes that spot uh and then tight end UH. So

124
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens have Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely obviously Nick

125
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: Boyle as the third tight end and the blocker. And

126
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: then you have to keep Charlie Kohler on the Ridge

127
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 1: all fifty three man roster because he did start training camp,

128
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: he did practice at the beginning of training camp when

129
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: it was just the rookies who reported Charlie Kohler was

130
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: out there. Four fans who are wondering what the rules

131
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: are if you take the field during training camp, you

132
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: cannot be placed on reserve pup on physically unable to

133
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: perform um. You have to start training camp on pup

134
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: to then be moved onto that for the regular season,

135
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: which is what happened with Gus Edwards, which is what

136
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: happened with Tias Bowser, and means that you missed the

137
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: first at least four games of the season. That obviously

138
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: would be the route the Ravens would have preferred to

139
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: go with Charlie Kohler considering he had UH sports Herney

140
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: as surgery. Um, and we'll miss whatever baby miss what

141
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: five games last year with the same surgery. He had

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: it a little bit later, but that would have been

143
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: under the route the Ravens Waite would like to go

144
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: with Cohler, but since he took the field, albeit for

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: a very short period of time, he now has to

146
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: be carried on the fifty three man and then placed

147
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: on injured reserve immediately afterwards. Um, so for me that

148
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: means four tight ends. Did you have did you think

149
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: The question for you, Cliff, I think is hey or

150
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: those the guys that you have on? Did you think

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: about keeping Josh Oliver? Well, the first one, yes, those

152
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: are the guys that have on. M Oliver is intriguing. Um,

153
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: huge guy. Uh showed to me played his best football

154
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: this training camp and he's that he's looked since being

155
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: with the Ravens and definitely did everything he could to

156
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: make it. But no, I don't see them keeping him

157
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: the roster. The entire roster is just so tight. Um.

158
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Nick boiled to me looks a lot better than he

159
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: did last year. Still could be a devastating blocker as

160
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: much as the Ravens run the football and prioritize that

161
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: just having a guy like boil it's too valuable. And

162
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean Oliver, that's not the strength of

163
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: his game, being a blocking tight end. So he's a

164
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: good player, but I don't think there's room. There's always

165
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: some guys, actually, in this case, quite a few guys

166
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: who have done enough in most situations and make the

167
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: teams with the rave is it's just too tough. So no,

168
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Oliver is going to be on the

169
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: final fifty. Right. Moving on to wide receiver, this is

170
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: a tough one for me whether you give four or five, because,

171
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: like you said, this roster is very tight, and I

172
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: won't lie. I heavily consider going with four here, with

173
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: the reasoning being that Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews are

174
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: really tight ends who act as receivers to a large degree.

175
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: But in the end I went with five for Shot Bateman,

176
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Devin's Ubernad, James peer Schet, and DeMarcus Robinson I think

177
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: are the four obvious candidates. And then it was whether

178
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep one of those undrafted rookies Tylan Wallace,

179
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, one of the younger pros like Benjamin Victor

180
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: of those guys. In the end, I went with Thayland

181
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Wallace as my fifth wide receiver. The reasoning for me is,

182
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens were intrigued by what he showed

183
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: at the end of last season. You know, they kept

184
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, in a clutch situation, Thyland Wallace

185
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: made a play for us. Right. This is a fourth

186
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: round pick from a year ago, who has obviously missed

187
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: some training camp, good chunk of training camp this year.

188
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: But I just don't think that they're ready to move

189
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: on from a fourth round pick who intrigued them last year,

190
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: who can play special teams for them. Um. I just

191
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: think that they want to get a longer look there.

192
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: And I believe that if Tyland Wallace were released, he

193
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: would get claimed. I mean, we saw Jalen Moore get claimed.

194
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Tyland Wallace, a guy who was picking the fourth round,

195
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: who unfair number of people had third round you know,

196
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: even late second round grades. There was some buzz about

197
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: Tylan Moss considering the college career he had. I I

198
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: think that some other team would certainly give him a shot.

199
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens would like to that shot to

200
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: be here, give him a longer look and see if

201
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: he can what he can you know, blossom into Yeah, well,

202
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: since this is to me what I think the Ravens

203
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: are going to do. I do believe that they are

204
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: going to keep Tylan Wallace and carry five. But it

205
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if they risked only carrying four. Uh.

206
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: I think that the Marcus Romson, it was a chance

207
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: to make the team before Saturday night and now he's

208
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: like a after that. So yeah, the four, the four

209
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: the top are clear. So the question is are they

210
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: keeping five or questions? And then if they keep five,

211
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: who's it going to be? I do think it is

212
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: going to be Willass. But again I think you know,

213
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: during the preseason we saw Bridges, Shamar Bridges, McCay polk

214
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: do some good things. Um, but I just don't think

215
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: Victor with that catch last night to played well last night,

216
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: Thank you Ryan, I shouldn't left him off. So those

217
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: guys have done me more then, you know, while it's

218
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: because you know he's he's been unhealthy, but again second round,

219
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: excuse me, the second year player has potential. Do I

220
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: see the Ravens parting with him this quickly? That would

221
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: be uncharacteristic for them. So and he can't play specials,

222
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: so he has to hope. He has to get healthy

223
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: and show consistency like all young players. So he's got

224
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: a challenge in front of him. But I think he's

225
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna continue to get a shot here in Baltimore.

226
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Everybody he listens to the pod knows my feelings about Shamara.

227
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Bridges been my guy from the start. Uh It just

228
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he had the big first preseason game

229
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: and the touchdown on the fade, Uh, didn't really sustain

230
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: that momentum. Unfortunately through the following two preseason games and

231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: in training camp practice. Uh mckaya Polk, you know, like

232
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: you also mentioned, I thought he's been a guy who

233
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: first game really flash. I think led the team in

234
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: receptions and and maybe even yards um and similar story,

235
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: just didn't quite sustain that momentum um. So to me,

236
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: there's a two guys. If the Ravens are able to

237
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: retain them on the practice squad, and I think they

238
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: have a decent shot of doing so, that's what they

239
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: would look to do. Yeah, I definitely, yeah Bridges. The

240
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: one thing with him is that that size is intriguing.

241
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: M I think the Ravens would love to keep him

242
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: around on the practice squad because he's a guy you

243
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,479
Speaker 1: look at he's got there's a lot of ceiling with him,

244
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: you know. I think that with more experience and with

245
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: that size, he's definitely shown toughness too. Bridges a guy

246
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: who two or three years from now you might be

247
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: looking at him as a guy who's really helping a

248
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: team on Sundays. Is he like Tim Patrick? You know,

249
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick was the young wide receiver back with the

250
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: Ravens back in the day who then ended up blossoming

251
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: uh in Denver. Right, So he's a guy to keep

252
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: an eye on. But no, I don't think that you

253
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be on the initial for the three. Yeah, Okay,

254
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: moving on to the offensive line. I can't I have

255
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: ten on here. I will say I think that I

256
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: think that this ultimately is nine, but I have ten

257
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: on my list for right now. That's Ronnie Stanley obviously

258
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: the starting left tackle, and great news about him. Looks

259
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: like he's gonna being to practice probably tomorrow. He has

260
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: passed his physical off the pup list, so that's awesome.

261
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: So Ronnie Stanley Morgan Moses are your two starting tackles.

262
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Zitler's your starting right GUARDA obviously, Tyler Linderbaum is

263
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: your starting center. Then you have Patrick McCarry is who's

264
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: your super sub Juwan James who is your backup tackle? Uh,

265
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: And then we get into the left guard situation. I

266
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: have on Ben Powers, Tyree Phillips, and Ben Cleveland. I

267
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: also mentioned I have Daniel Falle on the rookie as

268
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: another backup tackle, but really this comes down to Powers, Phillips,

269
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: and Cleveland. I have all three on the roster as

270
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: of now. It would not surprise me at all if

271
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: one of those three players is traded to another team

272
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: or is not on this initial fifty three man roster.

273
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I just think that's really a big crunch the Ravens have. Really,

274
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: McCarry allows you to carry nine offensive linemen without I think,

275
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: really breaking a sweat because he is a sub at

276
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: every position on the line, uh and a high quality

277
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: sub um So. I just I don't think that at

278
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: the end of the day they're gonna have all three

279
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: of those guys on the roster. But I ain't gonna

280
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: get into predicting which of the three I think the

281
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Ravens could trade, right, I feel it's only gonna be

282
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: nine ultimately as well. I thought it was interesting, you know,

283
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the Powers didn't play at all last night? Um so,

284
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: did he not play because he's just starting left guard?

285
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Did he not play because you know that maybe plans

286
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: for him elsewhere? Both? Uh? The Cleveland's Cleveland again, injuries

287
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: have been an issue for him staying healthy, so he

288
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: didn't play last night either, Um yeah. And then Tyre Phillips,

289
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: a guy with a lot of potential, but another guy

290
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: who's had nicks and bruises that have kept Timber playing consistently,

291
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: although he did play every snap, I believe last night

292
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Philips so that that to me was a good sign

293
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: for him. But ten offensive lineman, Yeah, I mean it's

294
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: a lot, and I don't feel that that is what

295
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: they want to do. I think that they want to

296
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: make some type of move so that they only have nine, uh,

297
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: to give them more flexibility elsewhere would they have, you know,

298
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: some really tough decisions to make. And McCarry, Yeah, his

299
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: value you already talked about. But also think you know

300
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: right now, he's definitely the backup center to me, Uh,

301
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: if something again we're after Linderbaum, they want to have

302
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: him I think be the guy who step in there,

303
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: even though he can play anywhere you want to put

304
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: him on the offensive line. So yeah, nine eyes I

305
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: think is going to be what it is. Well, you

306
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: have depth at every spot, so McCarry can be your

307
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: backup center. He could also be your backup guard at

308
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: either one of those spots. Uh. You know you have

309
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: Jawan James, who's your backup left tackle and backup right tackle.

310
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: Same thing with fat le Can you know he took

311
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: reps at left tackle, so you have two backup tackles

312
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: and McCarry can really step in and play tackle if

313
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: he needs to. Uh, But McCarry is your primary backup

314
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: at guards center, and you still have you know, between Powers,

315
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Phillips and Cleveland. Ben Cleveland can play either guard spot,

316
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: Tyree Phillips can play either guard spot and tackle, and

317
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: then Powers can play either guard spots. So no matter

318
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: how you look at it, you have one, if not

319
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: two backups that every single spot on the line. The

320
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Ravens are just have a lot of good offensive linemen. Um,

321
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: so I think a little too many to keep speaking

322
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: of the position. For the Ravens have too many good

323
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: players to keep them all defensive line is stacked. Uh

324
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: and really the cut the injury to Travis Jones complicates things.

325
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: So here I have six defensive lineman on my initial

326
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: fifty three. I have Klais Campbell, Michael Pierce, Justin Mattabekee,

327
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Broderick Washington, Travis Jones, and Isaiah mac The obvious name

328
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: that is missing from this list will be Brent Urban.

329
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Uh So, I think Brent Urban is gonna be on

330
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: this team week one. But this is the old you know,

331
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: vested veteran. You can release them, they don't go through waivers.

332
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: You have an agreement in place that hey, after we

333
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: release you, we want to bring you back, but we

334
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: can't carry you on the fifty three men roster originally

335
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: because we need a little more flexibility. That flexibility is

336
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: to get Charlie Charlie Kohler as we already discussed, and

337
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: then also David Jabo, both are hurt but have to

338
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: be carried on the initial fifty three. Right, So they

339
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: basically go one day on the fifty three and get

340
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: placed on I R. And then you bring back one

341
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: of these vested veterans, resign them to me I just

342
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: I whatever. You could do that with a handful of

343
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: guys on the roster. To me, I just picked Brent Urban.

344
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: It was between Brent Urban and Josh Bndes. I just

345
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: went with Urban for no specific reason. Um, you know,

346
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: obviously the hope is just that some other team doesn't

347
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: swoop in and give them a much better deal where

348
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: they say, you know what, maybe maybe I will take

349
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: that deal. I don't think so. Brent Urban wants to

350
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: be in Baltimore. He loves it here. Same with Josh Mines.

351
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: You can do it with either one of them. So

352
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: to me, you know the other person I kept as

353
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: Isaiah mac and I'll let you talk about him, Cliff.

354
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: But the like I said, the injury to Travis Jones

355
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: means you have to carry I think another defensive lineman

356
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: that maybe might not have would have been really on

357
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: the bubble and not made it previously. Yeah, I think

358
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: Isaiah Macu needs to be on the fifty three and

359
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: he is on my three. I just think he looks

360
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: too good not to be and that he'll get scooped

361
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: up by someone if he isn't. And yeah, I just

362
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: like the way that he is. He has come on. Um,

363
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: a guy who's bringing pressure up the middle something Travis

364
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Jones was doing before he got hurt and will do

365
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: when he comes back. Mac I think can do the

366
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: same thing and really showing you that he's he's a

367
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: better player than he was, you know, at any point

368
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: in this score, even last year. He just seems to

369
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: me a guy who's ready to bloss him right now.

370
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: So yes, I think that they will do a so

371
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: called wink wink with Urban not haveing on to have

372
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: him on the initial fifty three and bring him back.

373
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: But Mac is is a guy that I would not

374
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: part with. I think he can help you, particularly now

375
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: with Travis Jones being heard. Isaiah mac week one could

376
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: be a guy making plays for you out there, and

377
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: I just feel that he's done enough to make the

378
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: team and he will be on it. Yeah. I think

379
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: the other guy that I really I had originally on

380
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: was Aaron Crawford. I mean, if you want to talk

381
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: about somebody that I think, with their play in the

382
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: third preseason game, made the best case for pushing themselves

383
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: onto the fifty three man roster to me, that was

384
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Crawford. He was had a two quarterback hits, one

385
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: of which was flagged, so didn't technically count a bologne

386
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: he flag, might I add and and a tackle for loss.

387
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the dude was feasting out there, tossing blockers,

388
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: looked really powerful, just played his butt off and then

389
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: unfortunately suffered a groin injury that John Harball said, you know,

390
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: we'll have to see it could be could be potentially serious. UM.

391
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: So I think he probably lands on injured reserve now, uh,

392
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate for him. Really feel for him, but

393
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: that to me, I think I would have given that

394
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: final spot to Crawford UM had he not gotten injured. Instead,

395
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: it goes to Mac. A really tough break for him,

396
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: as you mentioned. But the Ravens have to be encouraged

397
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: about what they can do with the defensive line. They

398
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: wanted to get younger and deeper on the defensive line

399
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: after the last season, and they've accomplished both to me

400
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: with the moves they've made, and so yeah, with the

401
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: with the roster, the winning the way it is now,

402
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, older guys Calais Campbell does not have to play,

403
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: you know the snaps that he played to me last year,

404
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: which could make him more effective. Michael Pierce has looked

405
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: really good in training camp, but you know, you don't

406
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: have to you know, wear him out either with these

407
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: younger guys you know, also contributing. So yeah, it's it's

408
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: a really good defensive line. They have a wealth of

409
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: talent and just had too many talented players for you know,

410
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: a guy like Crawford now that he's injured. But I

411
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: do think Mac has found a way to barge into

412
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: the fifty three despite all this talent. Yep, Alright, moving

413
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: on to inside linebacker. I have four Patrick Queen, Josh Binds,

414
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Malik Harrison, and Josh Ross, the undrafted rookie out of Michigan.

415
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I haven't beating out Christian Welch, who's a third year

416
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: veteran and uh, you know it's been a good special

417
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: teams player for the Ravens and played a good third

418
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: preseason game. I think he had what two and a

419
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: half sacks last night. I had a good game. But

420
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: I just think that Josh Ross to me, has shown

421
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: more over the course of the summer on special teams

422
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: also primarily show more as a defender. I mean, I

423
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: think this guy is gonna be a rotational piece on

424
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: the defense in that that linebacker room plays fast, knows

425
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the defense obviously played with Mike McDonald. Uh can be

426
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: a blitzer really to me, stands out in coverage. That's

427
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: where Josh Ross really opened my eyes early on in

428
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: training camp and in even one on one drills against

429
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: running backs, doing quite well holding his own. And that

430
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: is a brutal, brutal drill for insidelinebackers. There's no help

431
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: wide open field and you have a running back coming

432
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: at you, you you have Justice Hill coming at your full speed.

433
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: Not easy. Josh Ross held his own in those drills

434
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: and um, and has played well in the preseason games.

435
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: So that's why I gave him not as my fourth

436
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: inside linebacker. Yeah, I have Ross on there too, you know,

437
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: along with Queen and Bonds and here and you mentioned

438
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: Bonds could be you know, a wink Wick move too,

439
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: But those are the four I have. Ross just played

440
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: too well to me not be on this team. UM.

441
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I love guys who when they know the pressure is on,

442
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: play well. And you know, people have been talking about

443
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: Ross for weeks. He knew last or Saturday night that

444
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: everything was on the line for him, that he didn't

445
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: have a lock and he ends up with eleven tackles.

446
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: I love when players respond to a situation like that,

447
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: that lets you know that you know, when the pressure

448
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: is on, they'll probably respond again. And we also know

449
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: that you know, Mike McDonald knows him so well, having

450
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: coached him, and knows how to use him best. I

451
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: think that's showing up. We know that they're partial of

452
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Michigan guys for obvious reasons. I'm partial of Michigan people because, uh,

453
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: they sent my daughter to college for free. So I

454
00:24:54,640 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: love Michigan. I'm not I'm not going to get rid

455
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: of a Michian guy. He's on the bubble. So but seriously,

456
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: Ross is he's He's deserved to be here. You know,

457
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: the baby was having long history undrafted free agents finding

458
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: these gems. I think he's He's the latest example. YEP,

459
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Can he step into a Chris Board

460
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: like role, I think is a question. I think the

461
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: the answer from what I've seen so far as a yes.

462
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: I think he will have, you know, play whatever ten

463
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: to the defensive snaps and be in that rotation as

464
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: a rookie is my expectation. And then of course he's

465
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to be a very good special teams player.

466
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: And I was watching him closely last night and he

467
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: played well on special teams, particularly kickoff coverage I thought

468
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: was good, UM and and punk coverage. So he's gonna

469
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: have to continue that all right, outside linebacker, this is

470
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: probably I really grappled with this one offensive line and

471
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver and running back to I'm just gonna name

472
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: every position. Outside linebacker was really a tough one for me.

473
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: I have only four on and that includes David A. Jabo,

474
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: who's hurt and gonna go on I R as soon

475
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: as the fifty three man roster is set or the

476
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: day after. Udolph A. O A Justin Houston, Dale and

477
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: Hayes and David A. Jabo are my four on the

478
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: other problem here is Daleen Hayes is banged up, uh

479
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: miss practice some practice time this past week, did not

480
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: play in the preseason finale. To really looking at too

481
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: healthy outside linebackers right now, all my fifty three man

482
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: roster which doesn't look good. Um and so my thinking

483
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: here here is that there is a what I want

484
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: to put on here was t v D. I think

485
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens have three options at outside linebacker. Okay, one

486
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: they could keep Stephen Means, and to do that you

487
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: could do another wink wink deal with Bindes or whatever

488
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: to keep him on for now. Uh. You you could

489
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: keep Stephen Means on this roster. To you for me

490
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: is that he's primarily a rush linebacker. Now I think

491
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: he's veteran, he's played enough snaps he can play step

492
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: in at sam linebacker because that's particularly where the Ravens

493
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: are thin after the injury to Vince biegel Um. You know,

494
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: oh Way and Houston are both rush linebackers. So you

495
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: could keep Stephen Means. You could make a move, whether

496
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: it be a trade or a free agent signing before

497
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: the fifty three man rosters are set, or you could

498
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: wait until the rosters are set cuts are made, uh

499
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: and pick up somebody there that gets released by another

500
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: team and take You know, really you have a good

501
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: case to be made to somebody out there that hey,

502
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: we need your help now, like you can have a

503
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: role on this team right now. Uh, and and use

504
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: that to fill the roster spot that vacates because of

505
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: David Jaba going on. I R those to me are

506
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: the options. But you need more outside linebacker help, is

507
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: for sure. The thing. Yeah, I mean, what I think

508
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 1: is going to happen is Ravens are going to make

509
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: a move before Week one and bring somebody in at

510
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: outside linebacker. Now, obviously if you don't know who that's

511
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: going to be, and for purposes of what they're going

512
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: to do now or what their options now that are

513
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: with people who are already here. Yes, I do think that, um,

514
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: they're going to go with four uh including you know,

515
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: a job of who's injured and they're just then I

516
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: mean Vince Biegel would have made this team and he

517
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: stayed healthy, he would have been one of these these

518
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: four outside linebackers if they decided to keep for since

519
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: he's not, you have to go with O Way Houston,

520
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: Hayes a job of knowing that they're going to make

521
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: a move at some point. Um, Yeah, it's it's an

522
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: issue that they're going to I feel have to address.

523
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Um if they, uh, you know, want to feel better

524
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: about their past rush going to the season. Don't want

525
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Justin Houston playing sixty snaps you know a game always

526
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: look great, but they need help at this position. I feel, yeah,

527
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: totally agree. The other thing I'll add is that if

528
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens do trade one of those ten offensive linemen

529
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: that I have on my fifty three man rest right now,

530
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I think that could that extra spot that that opens up. Uh,

531
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: maybe that means you know, it's just Brent Irman and

532
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: they don't do a wink wink, Or it could be

533
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: Steven Means for example, you know makes it because I

534
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: think you don't even really even if they bring somebody

535
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: in and you have five healthy guys, it's still pretty light,

536
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: right I mean uh? Or I mean or four? I

537
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: mean is you know even if you have O A. Houston,

538
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Dale and Hayes and TB D that is still very

539
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: light at outside linebackers. So you might want to keep

540
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: means and add somebody That would not surprise me at

541
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: all if they find an extra roster spot to keep, uh,

542
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: to keep two more linebackers than I have here healthy linebackers.

543
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: All right, Cliff, Let's take a break real quick and

544
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: remind listeners that the sports landscape is ever changing and

545
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: this week is no different. Draftking the DraftKings, the leader

546
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: in daily fantasy sports, still has daily fantasy contest running

547
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: for those looking to have skin in the game. It's simple.

00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: Each player has a salary associated with drafting them. You

549
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: assemble the lineup of players while staying into the salary

550
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: cap and then you sit back and watch your points

551
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: pile up. Now that you know how to play, download

555
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: so let's round out the rest of this fifty three

556
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: man roster. Here, Cliff, we have cornerback safety and specialists.

557
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: One of the tougher calls to go here, uh, cornerback.

558
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens had an injury last night. Kevon Seymour went

559
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: down with an ankle injury. John Harbl said it might

560
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: not be serious, doesn't look to be too serious. But

561
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: to that impacted a little bit of my fifty three

562
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: man roster. Thinking, what do you have at cornerback, Cliff, Um,

563
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: I've had them going with with six corners, not including Seymour. Now,

564
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, obviously Marlon and Marcus Peters uh,

565
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: and then behind them, I've got Stevens Fuller and the

566
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: two rookies, Armor Davis and Pep A. Williams. Um. I

567
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: think those, you know, those six, there's not much debate.

568
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: I think that they full as a guy who to me,

569
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, at the beginning of training camp didn't look

570
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: as impressive as I thought as I remembered him being.

571
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: But I think he has come on the last few

572
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: weeks and they just love his veteran presence. Uh Stevens,

573
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, to me, very very talented young player, as

574
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, Armor excuse me, pepe A. Williamses looked great,

575
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: I think, you know so far and a guy who

576
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: I feel that has a lot of promise moving forward.

577
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Armor Davis, you know, concerned a little bit about him

578
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: staying healthy, but obviously has talent. And then of course

579
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: with Marcus now Peters you know, hopefully being out there

580
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: week one and Marlon it's unusual with the Ravens don't

581
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: have injury problems at corner major ones, and that they

582
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: have so much depth at corner That was another issue

583
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: after the season. Can they improve their cornerback depth and

584
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: they have done that so Unfortunately for guys like Seymour

585
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't don't think that with the roster being so

586
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: tight other places, that he's done enough, and even a

587
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: guy like Worley who's had some moments, just don't think

588
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: they've done enough. Yes, Seymour was one of my original

589
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: Wink Wink deal guys. I thought that he would make

590
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: the roster, would just have to be releasing then resigned

591
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: after the Moose the two Moose that placed players on

592
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: I R. Because Seymour is a good special teams player.

593
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: The Ravens have talked about in a couple of times

594
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: about what he offers on special teams and and as

595
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: a cornerback. You know, he he battles, He's gonna lose some,

596
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna win something. I thought he was having a

597
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: pretty good game uh Saturday night before his injury. Um.

598
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that is a veteran, well respected uh,

599
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, a special teams player that I think

600
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens would like to have on this roster. Unfortunately,

601
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: suffer the injury. But you know, is there a way

602
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: that he could come back? Um? Is there a way

603
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: that they could retain him? You know, maybe you could

604
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: play someone I R um and and open up the

605
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: option to bring him back at some point this season.

606
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: I think that's an option potentially depending on how serious

607
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: his ankle injury is. UM. So that's one to monitor.

608
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: But I think if the Ravens don't keep Seymour on

609
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: the fifty three, which I anticipate they will not. He's

610
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: on speed dial. I also think Darryl Worley. You know,

611
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: they're a little light at six, especially if Armur Davis

612
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: isn't healthy. I think they would like to have a

613
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: little bit more cornerback depths. I think that's one to watch.

614
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: Um all right, safety, I've got four Marcus Williams, Chuck Clark,

615
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamson, and Gino Stone. The person that I do

616
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: not have on, unfortunately, is Tony Jefferson, one of our

617
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: favorite guys, one of everybody's favorite guys. I just don't

618
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: think that the Ravens have enough room to keep Tony

619
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: on this fifty three. Yeah. I think they could do

620
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: a wink wink with Tony obviously, and he's a guy

621
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: you may see playing here. He wants to be here,

622
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: who he could have other options, but Baltimore, as he

623
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: mentioned last night, Baltimore's home. This is where he wants

624
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: to be. Uh. Geno Stone, to me is a guy

625
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: who just solidified his place. We all obviously knew. Marcus Williams,

626
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton and then Chuck Clark, another guy I think

627
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: deserves to shut out, shout out just the way he's handled,

628
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 1: you know, the situation with them drafting Kyle Hamilton's Chuck

629
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: Lark has been outstanding all through training camp and basically

630
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: has shown you why he's been so valuable here the

631
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: last few years. But Gino, you know, he's look good

632
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: playing safety, he can play special teams. He's a guy

633
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: who has a nose for the football. If there's an

634
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: injury in front of him, they know that Geno Stone

635
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: is a guy who can step in. So that's another

636
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: reason why it's just tough for Tony to be that

637
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: fifth safety or replacing Geno Stone. Gino is younger, Um,

638
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: he's playing well, but I wouldn't surprise me if Tony

639
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: is here at some point after he's not on the

640
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: initial fifty three. Yeah, I would agree with that. I

641
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: agree with that. And then specialists, that's obvious justin Tucker

642
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: Jordan's stout and Nick Moore uh Ravens have one of

643
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: the best special teams units in the league. So really

644
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: good stuff there, all right, clif let's wrap this up

645
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: with an email. As always, he can reach us at

646
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 1: the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. We got

647
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: an email from Patrick Coon says good evening. Gent's great

648
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: win tonight at the Bank and here in Houston, great wins,

649
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: I should say, Orioles are rolling, he says, And how

650
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: about that de Marcus Robinson debut? Uh de Marcus are

651
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: and obviously, like we said, had the two big long catches,

652
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: finished with four for one thirty five and a touch.

653
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: Not a bad debut at all. Uh So, Patrick says,

654
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: I think Robinson performed great, but to a degree, this

655
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: is probably what we should have expected. He's a season

656
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: pro and should have dominated against this level of competition.

657
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see he was up to the task.

658
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: He looks ready to contribute right away. I agree with that.

659
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: I think that de Marcus Robinson is for sure going

660
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: to have a role in this offense. Obviously he's still

661
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: learning the offense um, but show that he can he

662
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: can help out early on the season. Sir Patrick's question

663
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: is did you see any bubble players have a significant

664
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: enough performance to make a difference in making the fifty

665
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: three or do you view the roster essentially set outside

666
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: of preseason week three? Uh So, we'll answer that question first, Cliff, Okay, Well,

667
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: as far as Guy's locking things up, Josh Ross, if

668
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: there was any question, which I think there is about

669
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: him making a roster. I think that in my mind,

670
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: Josh raw Us locked up a spot last night. I

671
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: just feel he brings too much at this point to

672
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: be to be cut. Um. I think Isaiah Mack helped

673
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: himself last night. We'll see if he did enough to

674
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: make the fifty three. But I definitely think his performance

675
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: Saturday night helped. And then Kristen Welles, I thought I

676
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: played really well. Um, he helped himself. Whether he did

677
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: enough to make it, we'll see, but he's definitely someone

678
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: who rose to the occasion last night, being a bubble

679
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: guy who played well. So those are three players I

680
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: would point to last night who helped themselves for sure,

681
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: and we'll see if they helped themselves enough to make

682
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: the final fifty three. Yeah. I think Welsh is interesting too,

683
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: And one thing I should have mentioned with him is,

684
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, if they don't keep ten offensive lineman and

685
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: they are thin outside linebacker, do they keep an extra

686
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: inside linebacker because they have a little bit of versatility there. Uh,

687
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: Malik Harrison can play on the outside if need be. Uh,

688
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: they've had him. He's certainly taken practice reps that outside linebacker.

689
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: You know, can a goalie Josh Ross step in and

690
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: play a little outside linebacker if if required to? You know?

691
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: So did Christian Welch do enough uh to make his

692
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: way on the fifty three man roster and that kind

693
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: of helps with the outside linebacker depth. I think that's

694
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: something a possibility, something to think about, all right. Another

695
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: question from Patrick says, are there any teams hurting for

696
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: kickers or punters right now? Aside from Buffalo who just

697
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: released their punter. Uh. He says, really glad that we

698
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: made the right punter draft choice, no joke Jordan's stuff. Uh,

699
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: looking more and more on and off the field, that

700
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: that was the right decision for the Ravens to make

701
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: him the first punter off the board. I don't think

702
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: that the Ravens are prout in a situation where they're

703
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna be able to trade a kicker or punter. Uh.

704
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: They brought in uh Cameron Dicker who handled the kicking

705
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: duties and punting duties. Did you have a point last night, yes, digger, Yeah,

706
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're in a situation where they're

707
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna be trading Cameron Dicker for somebody. But who knows

708
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: us is a magician. Maybe they can. Um, So yeah,

709
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see him flipping that one for

710
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: a late round draft pick unfortunately, Pat, What do you think, right? No,

711
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: I I don't feel that they'll be able to pull

712
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: off a move like that. So yeah, I don't look

713
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: for any you know, surprises there. We already talked about Stout,

714
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: how impressive he has been, you know, as a holder.

715
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of talk about, well,

716
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be a new holder for Justin Tucker.

717
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: Is that gonna affect him? Stout has has really stepped

718
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: in well with that. Obviously, his pawning against Arizona really

719
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: impressive performance. I just love his personality too. Doesn't look

720
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: like this, any of this is is too big for him,

721
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: per say. I mean, Sam Cook is a really tough

722
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: act to follow, uh, young player coming in that can

723
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: be kind of intimidating situation, but doesn't like Stout's gonna

724
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: be phased by anything that comes his way. So um, yeah,

725
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: I just feel that there's not gonna be any surprised

726
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: as far as what they can do with Dicker. He

727
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: could end up somewhere else, but I don't think the

728
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: rabe is gonna be able to trade him. I mean, guys,

729
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: got a great nickname. Dick or the kicker hit a

730
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard field goal that helps him out. Could

731
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: could start the lection of Dick or the kicker just

732
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: saying well, you sound you sound like he's think of

733
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: the merchandise opposity exact exactly or at least a seventh rounder. Right,

734
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: We'll see you on that one anyway. Thanks for the email, Patrick, uh,

735
