1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: This might be the most important training camp in Raven's history. Well,

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: the one that's most comfortable is the training camp because

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: that was the lockout season. I mean that was comtable

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: because you got a late start, but you didn't have

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: COVID hanging over your head. I mean, I think I'm

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: most excited to see Marky's brown, you know, just because

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: he looks like freaking g I Joe, So he looks amazing.

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm just I just want to see him like flying

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: down the field, fully healthy, full speed. I want to

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: see the rookie linebackers Patrick Queen and Willie Harrison, both

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: of them could be starters. Would Justin Tucker definitely beyond

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: the team in without a preseason, if you were only

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: basing it on practice. Would the coaches in the front

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: office have felt comfortable enough to say, we're gonna let

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: Billy Conduct had been a pro bowler in his career,

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna let him go, and we're gonna give Justin

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Tuck of the job. Maybe they would have, I don't know.

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge, Garrett. You smell that bunny smell

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: like football. Sounds like football. Training camp. Oh my god,

20
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: training camp is always here. It's actually gonna happen yet. Yeah,

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: it technically is here. I mean, rookies are back in Baltimore.

22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: They're going through a process of getting tested and clearance

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to enter the buildings so they can get to a

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: point where everything's full go. But for all intentsive purposes,

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: training camp has arrived and everything is moving towards football. Now. Look,

26
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: I obviously know it's not gonna look like a normal year.

27
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Typically guys arrived and they're on a practice field in

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: a day or two. That's not the case this year.

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: But it's a delayed gratification process and things are all

30
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction, and that is what's most important.

31
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Here are you very exciting? So what we're gonna do

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: today is the full training camp preview. We're gonna talk

33
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: about you know, why this campus so much, so important,

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: players to watch, you know, the effect of the preseason

35
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: and whatnot. In the time off, we're gonna look at

36
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: some earlyte man, well, who knows if it's gonna be

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: a fifty three man whatever, the size of the roster

38
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: s early tough decisions looming. So full breakdown. But before

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: we get to that, let's get a read from our

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: friends over there at Ram passionate fans, winning traditions and

41

Speaker 1: legendary toughness, or why Ram trucks and Ravens football go

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: hand to hand when it comes to power, luxury and technology.

43
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Like an available twelve inch you Connect touchscreen, you can't

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: find a better light duty or a heavy duty truck.

00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Go to Ram dot com to find your local Ram dealers,

Speaker 1: can get your new Ram truck delivered right to your door.

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: All right, Garrett. So you know, I think one thing

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the other day is this might

52
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: be the most important training camp in Ravens history. You know.

53
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: I know, I'm one of these media types. He likes

54
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: to make the splashy headline, you know, But I think

55
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: there's some truth that I don't think that's completely just

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: pulling it out of my butt. I think there's some

57
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: truth to that notion. Yeah, there's probably some truth to it. Um.

58
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, how do you rank this one? Like,

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: the one that's most comparable is the training camp, because

60
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: that was the lockout season. But so I mean that

61
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: was comptable because you got a late start, but you

62
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: didn't have COVID hanging over your head. Oh for sure,

63
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: there wasn't. There wasn't the global situation that's going on

64
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: compared to I'm just saying from the standpoint of players

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: not being in the building and getting the late start,

66
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: that's probably most comparable. And then I don't know, there's

67
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: important training camps like one of the first or we

68
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: have a new coach, but what average, Yeah, it's an

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: important one. I agree with you on that, whether we're

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: not gonna We already did the top greatest games in

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: Francis history. Now do we need to do? I mean,

72
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean the reason that I say that is it's

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: not just I mean every team is in the same

74
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: boat in terms of it's a it's training camp is

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: even more important because of the lost time. But here's

76
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens, a team with very legit Super Bowl chances here,

77
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: uh and and so like, you know, if you're a

78
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: team that projects, I mean, who the heck knows. But

79
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: if you're a five team, right, Like, it's one thing, right,

80
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: if you're building for the future. Let's say, let's say

81
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: you're the Bengals, you know, I mean, Joe, it's important,

82
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: very important to get Joe Burrows started off right. But like,

83
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think the Bengals are gonna win

84
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year. You know, no, no knock

85
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: on the Bengals. I think they're gonna be much better,

86
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're gonna win the Super Bowl.

87
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Like it's like building for the future. The Ravens are

88
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: building for right now, Like right now is the window,

89
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: and so they gotta get right and they gotta it

90
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: right in a hurry, like a little bit over a

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: month if the regular season kicks off on time. So um,

92
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: it's just it's just pivotal. I mean, And of course

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the next step he's gonna take. You're

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: relying on some rookies to step up and be in

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: big positions when it's gonna be tough for rookies this year.

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking at Patrick Queen, looking at maybe

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: a wide receiver is gonna have to step up this

98
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: year on offense. So I just think this this training

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: camp is very pivotal, and like we've said before, I

100
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: do have confidence that the Ravens will handle it better

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: than everybody else in the league, because that's kind of

102
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: how John Harball runs things. You know, he was Coach

103
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: of the Year last year for a reason. Yeah, exactly.

104
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Just as a side note, I don't know about you,

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: but there's been sometimes in the past week where I'm

106
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: getting ready for training camp and I've looked back at

107
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: videos or even when we're doing the greatest games, and

108
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: I looked at actual games and I'm like, just watching

109
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: football and seeing clips or seeing highlights, are seeing full games.

110
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: It's like it's nostalgic because there haven't been sports on

111
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: and just the idea of it getting close. I'm just

112
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: so excited about that. So like the idea of having

113
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: players on the field doing football, it just gets me

114
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: get It gets me giddy thinking about it, and I

115
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: can't wait. So um, I do kind of feel like

116
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: a kid in the candy store a little bit, kind

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: of like the mental image of you just be like yeah,

118
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: it's a word like seeing Yes, that is a perfect

119
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: word to sum up how I feel at the start

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: of training camp. Were you getting Were you getting when

121
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: you have to get your COVID test? How do you

122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: feel about that one? I was not giddy about that.

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: I was a little bit more nervous about that. Just

124
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: leave back in the old nose there. But it wasn't

125
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: bad down I gonna be getting it a lot. How

126
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: to turn out negative. I'm good, addible, I'm good. You've

127
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: been wearing that mass big dog. Oh yeah, I got

128
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: it over here. Um, I don't wear in the house,

129
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: but I do have that mask. We should probably wear

130
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: a masks and we're just talking to each other. Just

131
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: extra layer safety. Yeah, muffled, nice muffled audio, perfect for

132
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: a podcast. Um, but I'll tell you what, like like I,

133
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: I completely agree it's going to be such an important

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: training camp, and I do think that the Ravens will

135
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: be really ready. There's a coaching side of it, which

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens will be incredibly well prepared to

137
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: that regard. And then just to pat some people on

138
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: the back of the organization, like when I went in

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: there to get the COVID test, there's just it's an

140
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: incredibly smooth, efficient process. Um, They've got the people who

141
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: are working behind the scenes to get the facility ready

142
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: for players to return deserve a ton of kudos because

143
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: it's just there's so many little things that you don't

144
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: think about that need to happen in order to get

145
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: training camp up and running. How people get food, what

146
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms are, which hallways people can walk down,

147
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: how you so socially distance a team in a locker

148
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: room where you have, you know, ninety guys in a

149
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: given setting, how you socially distance in the weight room.

150
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Like although there's a million different things on the business side,

151
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: on the football side that all need to happen in

152
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: order for training camp and season to go off, and

153
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: so like that, I am just so impressed that the

154
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: way that uh people in the building are are operating,

155
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: it's really well done. So did you go in the building?

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: I did not. I just I was outside. I don't

157
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: even go in the building. When you get a test,

158
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you're in a trailer out out front. So I didn't

159
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: even go into the building. So you get a test

160
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: from trailer out front. And then I turned around and

161
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I left. So I actually haven't been in the physical building.

162
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: But it looks even different. There's a tent out there

163
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: where basically that has expanded the area where the dining

164
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: room is, so now there's basically a second dining room

165
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: outside in a tent attached double dining. But basically it's

166
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: just a social distance in that space. Um so. And

167
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: then there's a tent, a tent where you go in,

168
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: and and our trailer where you get the test. So

169
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: like there's all sorts of things uh in place to

170
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: to make it a safe place, and there's people working

171
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: literally around the clock to make that happen. So just

172
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: how to give him a quick pound back. But in

173
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: terms of you should have wait, wait, wait, wait, you

174
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: should have peeked through the windows and checked on the

175
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: o J, the orange treat machine, the peanut butter machine.

176
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't done a little reconnaissance required. Well,

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I think that all that stuff is gone. I think that,

178
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: Like I think that the cafeteria is like I don't

179
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: know this for sure. I think it might be like

180
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: a box lunch set up this year. Oh well, but

181
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: if are they gonna put peanut butter? If I boxed lunch,

182
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: I'd like to get a large jar peanut butter. You

183
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: slip it in. I mean we're putting an apple in there,

184
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: tossing peanut butter in. That's true. You're desperate, You're desperate. Oh,

185
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: I'll beyond desperate. So al right, football, Enough about um, like,

186
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: who are you most excited to see? Yeah, and camp

187
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: on the field, Okay, most excited to see? I mean

188
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm most excited to see Marky's brown, you know,

189
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: just because like he looks like uh freaking g I Joe,

190
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Like for our younger audience, Yeah, Joe was a popular

191
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: action back. You know, I'm old, but back when I

192
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: was a kid, it was awesome. Um, So he looks amazing,

193
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: and I'm just I just want to see him like

194
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: flying down the field, fully healthy, full speed, see just

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: his brakes, see like everything, you know. I mean, I

196
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: just expect to see this like pretty big difference from him, um,

197
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: you know. On the same note, I'm also really excited

198
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: to see Myles Boykin, you know, because not only do

199
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: I expect him to make a year two jump, but

200
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens need him to, you know. I mean, here's

201
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: a very important player who might be a starting wide

202
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: receiver potentially for sixteen games, you know. I mean if

203
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: he proves himself in training camp. I think it's a

204
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: really big camp for Miles Boykin. And uh, I'm excited

205
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: to see him as well. So I'll stick to the

206
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: people's answer here and talk just about wide receivers. This

207
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: is a popularity vote for you right now in terms

208
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: of those positions people in Baltim were talking about want

209
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: to watch wide receivers at the start of training camp.

210
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Nothing's changed. Uh No, But I'm with you. I'm particularly

211
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: with Hollywood because we've all seen the videos this offseason.

212
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: He's clearly poked up. We never you know, like if

213
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: you were to go back to this point last year

214
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: at training camp, he was walking around just standing on

215
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: the practice field for the first like three weeks of camp,

216
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: and then when he got back, it was a very

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: very slow ramp up and he wasn't able to practice

218
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: really full go the entire season. He was limited all

219
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: year in terms of his practice reps. So he's healthy,

220
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: foot's healthy, packed on weight, he's if if if you know,

221
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: if the the Instagram videos or any indication of what's

222
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: to come, this is gonna be a huge year for him.

223
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: And I think we just saw a sample of it

224
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: as a rookie. So I'm with you that that he's

225
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna be picking. I'm but I'm gonna go. I want

226
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: to see the young linebackers. I want to see the

227
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: rookie linebackers, Patrick Queen Emilie Harrison. Um, both of them

228
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: could be starters. You talk about Boykin and Hollywood being starters,

229
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: there's a chance that both Queen and Harrison could potentially

230
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: be starters. I think that Queen definitely is going to

231
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: be a starter. Um. And and whether it's l J

232
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: Fort next to him or a Harrison, you know, we'll see.

233
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: But I want to see if if Queen is looks

234
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: as fast as he played in college, because that's the

235
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: part of linebacker play in terms of being able to

236
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: play fast is knowing what's happening and being able to

237
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: diagnose what's happening in front of you. And I don't

238
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: expect him to step on the field on day one

239
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: of training camp and know everything that's taking place. It's

240
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: drinking from a fire hose a little bit, especially at

241
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: the start of the year started camp. But how quickly

242
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: can he take in that information and be ready to

243
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: be ready to fly around like that's the Ravens got

244
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: him because he can fly around the field. And then

245
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: with Harrison, it'll I think it'll be a little bit

246
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: tougher to assess him in camp because if we're just

247
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: going with the stereotypical answers on these two guys. He's

248
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the thumper, and you know, hitting and full tackling is

249
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: limited in camp. It's it's there's not a ton of

250
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: days of full padded practices, especially this year, and even

251
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: when they are full padded, they're typically not wrapping up

252
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: and bringing guys to the ground. So I think I

253
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: was looking forward to seeing him and Gains because the

254
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: preseason I felt like would be good for him. Um.

255
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: But if he could shine enough during camp, then maybe

256
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: he finds his way into the starting lineup. But I

257
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: think that he's gonna have an uphill climb to do

258
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: that because of the limited restriction on number of days

259
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: and paths and also no trade preseason games potentially. Yeah, yeah,

260
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. Um. You know, speaking of linebackers,

261
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm also really intrigued to see Jalen Ferguson. I mean,

262
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about guys who can make that

263
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: year to jump, who are in a big position, probably

264
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: a projected starter, you know, he and Pernol mcthee I

265
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: would expect to share that role. Um, you know, but

266
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Ferguson is a is a big time player for

267
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: this team, not only this year, but moving forward. I mean,

268
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: you look at next Tynus Bowser is going to those

269
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: last year, Matthew Judon is on a franchise tag. I mean,

270
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,479
Speaker 1: Jalen Ferguson is like the president and the future outside linebacker.

271
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: So I was interested to see the kind of the

272
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: progression he makes. I mean, here's the guy who had

273
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: the most career sex in n C double A history,

274
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: Breagan Tarrell Suggs's record, and I'm intrigued to see, like

275
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: if he can fulfill kind of that potential in the NFL.

276
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, we saw glimmers of it as a rookie,

277
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: and you know, usually the Ravens haven't had an outside

278
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: linebacker that got many starts as much playtime as him,

279
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: because there's a guy named Charles Suggs was in the way.

280
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Now that now that he's got that under his belt,

281
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: like I'm in, I'm intrigued to see how much progression

282
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: he's made. I tell us out a few more names

283
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: this real quick, just maybe just saying Ferguson like, to me,

284
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: he was really green last year, small school young guy. Um.

285
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: And so the fact that he played as much as

286
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: he did and played as well as he did. I

287
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: think really bos Well for the future didn't really see

288
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: like pass rush production out of him as a rookie.

289
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: So is that kind of like that's a that's maybe

290
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: the next step in that progression is like getting to

291
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Also, I think physically he's a guy that

292
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: could benefit, could have benefited and it probably will benefit

293
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: from having a full NFL season spending time in the

294
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: weight room. He hasn't. He's not like like Hollywood's posting

295
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: on on social media all the time about what he's

296
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: up to. Jalen Ferguson hasn't been doing that. So there's

297
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: like a bit of mystery. I don't know exactly what

298
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna look like. And those are things like for

299
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: guys like that, what do they look like, how have

300
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: they spent their second season? Like how prepared are they

301
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: to come into camp? So, um, I think that for

302
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: some players there's just this uncertainty about how they look

303
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: and what they You know, my scening is gonna be

304
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: in bad shape at all. I'm just saying using that

305
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: time over the past six months, Um, I think that

306
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: he could be in a position to kind of hit

307
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: the ground running. Yeah, I agree agree. Uh, you know,

308
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: excited to see Lamar of course because his progression. Who's that? Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

309
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: we probably mentioned the m v P. You know. Um,

310
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, his progression of course is at

311
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: the center of everything. Um. He's already pretty darn far along,

312
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: but he can get even better. That's exciting, UM. D J. Fluker,

313
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Matt Skura, Tavon Young. You know you talk about Screw

314
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: and Tavon, guys come back from injuries, and then Jake

315
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: Flucker as you know. Really the only hit the offense

316
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: took this offseason was the retirement Marshal Yanda, I mean,

317
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: trading hayten Hurst to UM. But the biggest hit obviously

318
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: was yonda Fluker looking like he's you know, a machine

319
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: now in his training. I like, I like to see

320
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: that going from a four x to a two x. UM.

321
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see him. But you know, watching

322
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: the lineman, let's be honest, that's not that funny. Well

323
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: it is, you can you know, you gotta get the

324
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: pads like that's not gonna be for a little while.

325
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: And there's and and for fans, just if we talk

326
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: in vague terms about how the first couple of weeks

327
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: of training, KEMP, We're gonna go just as a heads up.

328
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: That's because we don't have a great sense of it.

329
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: Those things are still being worked out by the league,

330
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: by the NFL p A. So what we do know

331
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: is that there's gonna be some element of a ramp

332
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: up process, maybe that strength and conditioning that goes into

333
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: non padded practices ultimately to padded practices. But it's not

334
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: like the guys are gonna get in the building and

335
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: then the next day they're gonna be on the field

336
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: for full padded practices or even that week. It's not

337
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna be like a typical year, and so we just

338
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: have to accept that. But on the old line, like

339
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: I actually am kind of interested to see what the

340
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: because that's the biggest question on offense. I think, yeah,

341
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: oh for sure it is. I mean you have a

342
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: center come back from a major injury and then you

343
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: have to replace a Hall of famer at right guards,

344
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: so like what is not just how do the guys look,

345
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: but what is the lineup that they throw out there

346
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: where that's the biggest that's the biggest like roster question

347
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: on the offense. I think the biggest question for the

348
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: offense as a whole is you know, how do you

349
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: evolve after being number one offense in the NFL. But

350
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: but yes, in terms of like position group, the biggest

351
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: questions by far are on the offensive line. Yeah, and

352
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: so like what where does Bradley Bosman play? Is he

353
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: left guard? He was? He was? He played well there

354
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: last year? Do they give him any reps at center? Um?

355
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: If there's any uncertainty about Scura status, is Fluke or

356
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: day one step in at right guard? You're filling in

357
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: from Oceri Janda? And then also like where's Ben Powers?

358
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Could he get some reps with the ones? Um? So yeah,

359
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: the the offensive ligned to me, while it's not really

360
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: fun watching the gruntwork the boys of the mud there,

361
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to watch what the lineup and

362
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: what that group as a whole looks like, Yeah, I agree,

363
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: I agree, Um, so yeah, it's it's gonna be very interesting.

364
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: I think. Also you look at kind of you go

365
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: into this and you have a checklist, right, I mean

366
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, here's what we need to accomplish

367
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: during training camp and that is this year. Being that

368
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: it's so wacky that checklist. I have to imagine is

369
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: much different, right, I mean, like you're just not going

370
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: to get to the same level I think offensively that

371
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: you normally would. Right. So when you're looking at the checklist, Garrett,

372
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: our checklist for training camp, this isn't we didn't get

373
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: this fact ser from John harbll Um. You know what

374
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: what to what to you are like the most important things,

375
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: like by the end of this, this has to be

376
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: checked off. I think that you have to have some

377
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: level of chemistry in the passing game, because the passing

378
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: game is something that takes reps, that takes rhythm, that

379
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: takes familiarity. Um, you're gonna have Hollywood. Well. I do

380
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: think it's beneficial that these guys have gotten together during

381
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: the off season, um, and they've used that time of

382
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: their own to try to to try to build that.

383
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: But to step in and turn around and get on

384
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: the field, um for a regular season game with limited

385
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: practice reps, hardly with no offseason, I think that that

386
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: is uphill climb. So I think you've got to see

387
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: some chemistry in that passing game between Hollywood and Lamar,

388
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: between Miles Boykin and Lamar, like and then and then

389
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: the second piece of it is the offensive line piece

390
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: that I was just talking about chemistry again, but like

391
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: bigger than just chemistry and and rapport. I just think

392
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line has to be good enough, Like the

393
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: offensive line has to if you're losing a huge piece

394
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: there and you need to whether it's just Fluke or himself,

395
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: um or the the collection of the guys overall needs

396
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: to be able to to replace as best as possible Marshal.

397
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: So those are like the top two things on my list,

398
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: and then then third last, real quick third would be

399
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: would be if you're gonna have Patrick Queens starting as

400
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: your middle linebacker, how prepared is he to be the

401
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: man in the middle of that defense? Yeah? Yeah, I

402
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: would agree with that. Would you would you put would

403
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: you put any of those higher? Like would you put

404
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: the Queen thing? See? I think I think I would

405
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: put I would put offensively. I think first order businesses,

406
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to run the ball in right,

407
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: like Greg Roman kind of talked about it. You have

408
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: to be really good at something right, and and then

409
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: once you're really really good at something, you can get

410
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: good at other things. And to me, I think this

411
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: team needs to at the started camp certainly by the

412
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: end of it, I think it's gonna be really difficult

413
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: to have that passing game humming. But in order to

414
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: get off to a fast start once the games roll around,

415
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna need to run the ball well,

416
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: just like they were last year. And I think that's

417
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: something that they can certainly do. I mean, we don't

418
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: know what the rules are going to be for contact

419
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Um, but I think like that

420
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: to me is first order of business for the offense.

421
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: And then you kind of over the course of the

422
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: season progress passing wise. I mean, you you obviously have

423
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: to have Yeah, you have to have some level of

424
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: proficiency passing the ball when you start the season. But

425
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think, like, you gotta run the

426
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: ball really well from the start, and that'll get this

427
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: offense kind of going. Um. Maybe the reason I didn't

428
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: say that is because I just feel like it's a

429
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion in my head. Yeah, but you know, you

430
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: have those airline questions like like we're talking about, I mean,

431
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: you take martial yonda out of the run game, that's

432
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: a big it's a big loss. Um. So I think

433
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: that's kind of first order business. And then the other

434
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: one defensively, I completely agree with Patrick Queen. I think

435
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: the other one is just you know, how how are

436
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: these new editions up front gonna affect what you're doing

437
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: defensively and you have to work those guys in, I

438
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: mean Plays Campbell and and Derek Wolfe. I don't have

439
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: any problems, you know. I think they know what they're

440
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: doing right, and I don't think that they're gonna be

441
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: lost within the scheme or anything like that. But like

442
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: they are a big, big boost, and I'm just all

443
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: those pieces kind of have to work together, um in

444
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: that front seven to really make it as dangerous as

445
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: we all think it will be. And it looks to

446
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: be on paper right, So like I think getting that

447
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: kind of ironed out, um and getting some more production,

448
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, getting Jalen Ferguson and Tis Bowser and those

449
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: guys humming a little bit. Like that's another thing on

450
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: defense that I think a lot of attention is going

451
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: to be paid to. Yeah. Yeah, It's funny that when

452
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: we talk about the players to watch, neither of us

453
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: mentioned Calais Scampbell or Derek Wolfe. Right, Like, look, I'm

454
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: excited to see them, but I kind of think we

455
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna get. Like, I don't think neither

456
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: of them are gonna go out there and they're gonna

457
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: be getting a ton of reps and training camp. That

458
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: those are veteran players who there let reps already. Even

459
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: though it's a new system, they're gonna be limited. They're

460
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: not going out there full pads and trying to prove

461
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: anything and impress the coaches. Claire's Campbell is gonna be okay.

462
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: He's the coaches know that he's going to be in

463
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: the starting line. That is, that is gonna be just fine. Yeah,

464
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay. Terrible impression. Terrible. Um. You know,

465
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk right now, and this will

466
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: probably be dated by the time that the pod is

467
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: ready to put up. But you know about the preseason,

468
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: how long it's gonna be. You know, we're gonna have

469
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: two games, one game, no games. You know what what

470
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: effect do you think a shortened or eliminated preseason will

471
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: have on this team and and just the players, you know,

472
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: some of the players themselves. I think it's going to

473
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: really hurt undrafted free agents and the Ravens have been

474
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: better at finding and developing undrafted free agents better than

475
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: any other team. Like I was talking to my brother

476
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: about this, what Justin Tucker definitely beyond the team in

477
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: without a preseason, he he outperformed Billy Condiff and training camp. However,

478
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: if you remember that season, I can't remember who the

479
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: game was against, but there was a game and m

480
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Tamate Stadium in the preseason where they just let Tucker

481
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: kick that entire game and he kicked great, hit a

482
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: number of field goals. And it might have been the

483
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: third preseason game, maybe the second, but the feeling was

484
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: like at that point Tuckers showed that he could do

485
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: it in a game. He didn't practice all summer, but

486
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: then he did it in a game in a stadium

487
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: atmosphere more pressure, and that was kind of the final checklist.

488
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: If you don't have that, if you were only basing

489
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: it on practice, would the coaches in the front office

490
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: have felt comfortable enough to say, we're gonna let Billy

491
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: conduct who had been a pro bowler in his career,

492
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna let him go and we're gonna give Justin

493
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: Tucker the job. Maybe they would have I don't know. Yeah,

494
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a really fair point. Um, it would

495
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: have been it would have been even guts here to call.

496
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: It would have been a tougher call, that's for sure. Um.

497
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: So I agree. I think that. You know, when you

498
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: look at the undrafted free agents, I think I bet

499
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: the street continues. And I think a big part of

500
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: that is because of the tight end position. Right. The

501
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: Ravens have already talked about, Hey, one of these guys,

502
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: maybe both of these guys could make the team. You know,

503
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: I think that at the end the day, one of

504
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: them will, and it wouldn't surprise me if the second

505
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: one does. I mean, we don't know if rosters are

506
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna expand roster sizes whatnot. That could help um practice squad,

507
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: you know, is the practice squad gonna be even bigger

508
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: something like that. Um But I agree, it's it's it's

509
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: not only hard on the undrafted rookies for making a team.

510
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just harder on the rookies period. I mean,

511
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's harder on Patrick Queen, it's harder

512
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: on Lee Harrison, it's harder on all those guys. J K. Dobbins.

513
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just one thing to do it

514
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: in practice, when you're not really going full tilt. The

515
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna be trying to really protect these guys,

516
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: especially because they haven't had the training that they normally would.

517
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to have any injuries self

518
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: inflicted injuries in training camp, that's for sure. Like they're

519
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be cautious with these guys to

520
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: not play any games as a rookie and then be

521
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: expected to step in day one, week one and play.

522
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: That's tough. Um. Look at a guy like like Tyree Phillips,

523
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: third round pick offensive linemen go and from tackle to guard.

524
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot to take in right there.

525
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: It's how do you how do you handle all of that?

526
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: Like to me, when they drafted him, the talk at

527
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: that point was could this guy step in and be

528
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: your starting guard? And that was before they signed Fluker.

529
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: I think if I'm doing the right, Um, but the

530
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: feeling was like, maybe this is your starting guard. Well,

531
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean that would be an incredible assignment to go

532
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: and change positions, adjust to the NFL, and then take

533
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: in takeover as his day one starter. So those are

534
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: the types of challenges that these young players are gonna

535
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: have to overcome. Yeah, I'm not really worried about like

536
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: the starters. I mean, of course, I think like some

537
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: game reps are good, but generally speaking, you know, the

538
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: starters have been seeing less and less time in the

539
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: preseason as a whole. Like, I'm just not too worried

540
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: about that, you know, worried about Marlon Hunhree or Marcus Peters, No,

541
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean and so like, and who knows, like what

542
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of things John Harbor will think of in terms

543
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: of like little scrimmages and you know, I think he'll

544
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: try to send smulate that stuff in training camp near

545
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: the latter part of it to try to get do

546
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: it as best as he can. Um So from that perspective,

547
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm not too worried. I I think that you know,

548
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: getting the giving these players some time to get their

549
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: legs under him after all the lost time and all

550
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: those things, you know, and and protecting them, you know,

551
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: the less exposure that you have to another team, to

552
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: ham to fly somewhere and all that's entailed. You know,

553
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: I think I think the better, Like, we all want

554
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: to get to a regular season, and we want that

555
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: regular season to not have to be cut prematurely and

556
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: so I think that, you know, I'm glad that the

557
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: two sides seem to be working together and finding h

558
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: a compromise and what makes sense together, and I think

559
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: that it seems like they've got a good plan. Yeah,

560
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: so all right, let's do it early look. And this

561
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: is the I love the early look. The early look.

562
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: This is like when they put they put out like

563
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: the mock drafts from next year, like the day after

564
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: the draft ends. Yeah, yeah, that's always a favorite. That's

565
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: always It's actually kind of funny as a sign out

566
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: on that. I remember I went back and looked at

567
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: the one from the nineteen draft AFT and looked at

568
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: it from the draft and some of the guys that

569
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: were in that were ended up as first round projections,

570
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: like Jalen Ferguson was a guy who was mentioned as

571
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: a potential as a potential first round pick and that

572
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: draft the Ravens, but he was just a potential first

573
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: round pick, just as random thought there. Um anyway, Um,

574
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: so we eventually will do our full fifty three man

575
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: roster prediction. This is not that. But when you look

576
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: at the positions, like what do you think are going

577
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: to be the toughest calls? Early on. Right now, I

578
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: look at quarterbacks and wide receivers I think are going

579
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: to be I guess I don't know that wide receiver

580
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be necessarily tough, but I do think that

581
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. So there, Hollywood. Yeah, James

582
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: Prochet is five. Yeah, and then I expect that Chris

583
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: Moore will make team. Is the sixth to be your

584
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: special teams guy. The reason that I put it on

585
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: this list is because Jalil Scott, right, you know, And

586
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: I'll toss out there Antoine Wesley. I really liked Antoine

587
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: Wesley last summer. Like here, this kid made a lot

588
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: of plays when they said go deep, we'll throw it

589
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: to you, and like, and here's the guy who's also

590
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: been busting his butt this offseason, working out with r

591
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: G three and all that. Like, I think I think

592
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: he deserves a shout out on the pot. Yeah, yeah,

593
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure it'll just make his day. But like,

594
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, like, and Jalil Is is just an interesting case,

595
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: another player who looked really good last year in training camp,

596
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: the preseason. He was kind of the toast of town

597
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: in training camp last year and then just couldn't find

598
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: his way into, you know, onto the game day roster

599
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: and making an impact. It's just here, the fourth round

600
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: pick with a lot, a lot of potential. It's gonna

601
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: be an interesting case for him. You know, there's a

602
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: lot of competition now with two rookie draft picks, a

603
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: lot more competition. Seems like there always is a wide receiver.

604
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm interested to watch. And then I

605
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: think quarterback is probably going to be the toughest roster

606
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: call you Now, do you keep three quarterbacks again, especially

607
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: given COVID you know, you don't want to be short

608
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: there um? And then who is that third quarterback? Who

609
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: even is? You know, I think RG three obviously has

610
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: the leg up at number two, but he's gonna he's

611
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: gonna win that job again. You know, it's not handed

612
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: to anybody to just you know, it's not handed to you.

613
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: So is Tyler Huntley? Is the third quarterback? Trace McSorley

614
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: I think has a leg up obviously because he's got experience,

615
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: but you know, can he carve out a special team's

616
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: roll those kind of things. I think quarterback is going

617
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: to be interesting. I actually and I haven't done the

618
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: full breakdown yet where I started signing roles in Ado,

619
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: I feel differently if I've done that, I don't feel

620
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: like quarterback is that challenging this year. I think you

621
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: keep three quarterbacks because of COVID. I think that the

622
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: risk reward there is if you want to find it

623
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: on a find out on a Wednesday or a Thursday,

624
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden one of your quarterbacks Lamar

625
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: or r G three has it. Well, obviously that's a

626
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: major situation and they're down for multiple weeks. At that point,

627
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: you better have somebody in the hopper. It's the most

628
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: important position in sports and to go heavy there and

629
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: this year, I just think it's kind of an easy

630
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: decision as I look at it right now, like it's

631
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: just there's just a huge risk. If you're trying to

632
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: find a quarterback. Maybe you can get Trace mcsorly on

633
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: your practice squad, maybe, but maybe not. And so if

634
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: are you trying to find a quarterback on a Friday

635
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: and the games on Sunday, because all of a sudden,

636
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, like one of your quarterbacks test positive, even

637
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: if it's r G three, you need to like the

638
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: doomsday scenario that any football fan is thrown out is

639
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: what if you're starting quarterback gets at the day before

640
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: a game. Every fan of every team has talked about

641
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: that and so but even if it's even what if

642
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: it's even your backup, Like you need to have something

643
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: to move into that role. So I think you keep three.

644
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: And I think it's Trace McSorley. I just I haven't Look,

645
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: we haven't seen other unting out the field yet. Liked

646
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: him on the podcast, but you're falling for the old

647
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: podcast trick whenever guy comes to the podcasts, they gotta

648
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: make a team. But I think it's I like, I

649
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: really likes Trace, Like I think that, yeah, I think

650
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: that he will push r G three for you know,

651
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: second team reps. But I ultimately do think it's gonna

652
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: be lamar G three and Trace, yeah, you know, going

653
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: through it. Like, I don't think there's a lot of

654
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: really difficult one like position battles this year. I mean

655
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: tight end who the third tight end is is probably

656
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: one of your best competitions. That right guard who ends

657
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: up being your starting right guard. But I mean your

658
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: d line is set Derek Wolf, Brandon Williams class inside linebacker.

659
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean we've already talked about the rookies you know,

660
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: can the rookies become Day one starters or does l J.

661
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Fort start or whatnot. I think you know what your

662
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: outside linebacker situation is with Judon on one side and

663
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: you have Jalen and and uh and McPhee on the

664
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: other side. Cornerback, you know, right, I mean, you know

665
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: who your top four guys are. Really maybe there's a

666
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: little some competition for the fifth six spots safety safety,

667
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: you know who like your top four there are. Again,

668
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: so there's not a lot of questions on defense and

669
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: not a ton of offense either, So I just think

670
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. Um, well, that goes back to why

671
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: we're so excited by the season because this team doesn't

672
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: have any questions. This team rock solid, and I think

673
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: top to bottom both sides of the ball, I think

674
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: right now the best roster in football when you look

675
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: at offense and defense, they've got the reigning m v

676
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: p UM. I think they've got the best team in football.

677
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: So there's not a lot of questions, which is part

678
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: of the reason we're so excited about this team and

679
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: why we we're why why going back to what we

680
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: said at the beginning, why I'm giddy, right now because

681
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: I love how much talent and potential there is on

682
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: this football team. Yeah, I'm really I'm really excited about

683
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: the defense. Like I know, there's a lot of people

684
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: obviously buzzing about the offense um, and they should be,

685
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: but this defense could be awesome. Yeah, I mean, I

686
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: mean Wink had to like bring the heat every other

687
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: play last year to create some pass rush. Now you

688
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: put Klais, you put Wolf. You've got some really good young,

689
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: blitzing linebackers. You know, Queen and Malik can both get

690
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. I'm not saying that Wink is going

691
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: to dial it back, because that ain't who Wink is, right,

692
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: the Wink is gonna come get your head, um, but

693
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: like now he has the horses to come get you.

694
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: And um, I I really think this Ravens defense. I mean,

695
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: now a Tavon young back in the secondary. Earl Thomas

696
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: has another year. One thing we shouldn't overlook. Earl Thomas

697
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: with another year of just comfort, like you know, he

698
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: he it took him some time last year I think

699
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: to be come from on this defense now with another

700
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: year under his belt, Chuck Clark next to him for

701
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: the entire year this secondary is awesome. I think this

702
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: defense could be very exciting to watch this year. I mean,

703
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: people forget that the defense was third ranked overall last year.

704
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: They finished years three and they went through major changes,

705
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: basically rebuilt on the fly with Josh Binds and l J.

706
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: Fort and Marcus Peters and Gee high Ward and Justin

707
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Ellis getting all signed in the middle of the season

708
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: and then come and playing in significant roles but now

709
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: boring any kind of injuries. They're set, Like the the

710
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: defense could go out there and play and they're set,

711
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: and they've got death, they've got top end talent. Uh,

712
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: they've got the best secretary in the league. I think

713
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: they got the best one two punch hit cornerback in

714
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. So there's a lot to be excited about

715
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: with his defense, and like I said, it's just top

716
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: to bottom. I think the best roster in the NFL. Anyway.

717
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: You know what else, there's lots to be excited about.
