1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: The Ravens are back on the field. Organized team activities 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: kicked off this week. Man Kyle Hamilton's is natural. It's 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: pretty good. He does look very good. I like what 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: I see from releases are really good, really smooth. There 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: is a lot riding on this young receiving corps. That's 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: what this off season and this training camp I think 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: you're going to be about in a lot of ways, 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: is getting these young guys ready to go out there 9 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: and get the job done. Welcome into the lounge presented 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: by DraftKings. The Ravens are back on the field for 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: you know, the next step of football. Not real football, 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: but it's it's a lot closer. Organized team activities kicked 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: off this week. We got to watch practice along with 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens reporters on Wednesday, and so we are going 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: to give you our top takeaways and thoughts from the 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: practice session. Hot takes. After one day of offseason practice, 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: I think I'm ready to set my fifty three men roster. 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: Are you, oh, you're already tenor name right now? We 19 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: we already did the win loss game the game roster. Now, 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's all about fast forwarding way beyond right. 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: That's the whole media business. Yeah, absolutely, because the cart 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: before the horse, that's what we do. Snap takeaways from 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: these first day of o t A practice. No, it 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: was good. I mean, it was good to see the 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: guys on the field. It was good to get a 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: sense of just kind of where the raves are right now. 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: Obviously you don't you don't, I want to make too 28 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: many judgments for a practice where you're starting quarterbacks not 29 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: even out there, but um, you know, there were some 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: good signs. There were things that you know are going 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: to have to be improved, of course over the course 32 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: of the next you know, several months. Um, but it 33 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: was just good. I mean it was like they put 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: the jersey on, they got a helmet on, You're like, 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: all right, all right, they starting to feel like football 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: board exactly. All right. So you brought it up, Lamar 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Jackson not being in attendance at the beginning of o 38 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: T as obviously a very hot topic, right, so thought right, 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean I think that, like I think you want 40 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: in a perfect world, every player to be attending O 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: t A practice, so you would start there. But I 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: don't know what he's got going on off the field, 43 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: what kind of conflicts he may have. And I thought that, 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, players summed it up pretty well. Marlin Humphrey 45 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: was asked about it. Mark Andrews was asked about it, um, 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: and both of them made the point that, like, they 47 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: know that Lamar's working away from here. Um, you know 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna be back here at some point. I don't 49 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: know if that's next week. I don't know if that 50 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: means mandatory minicamp for two weeks, um, what exactly that means. 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: But they know that he's gonna be here. Mary said, 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Now if it's training camp, yeah, then it'd be but 53 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: then it would be an issue. Um, but that he's 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: going to be back soon. And Lamar actually tweeted, you know, 55 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: we put out a clip this week as well, and 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: Lamara retweeted it and said he can't wait to get back. 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: So it's not like it's, uh, you know, if you 58 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: have a quarterback going into like a contract here, it's like, 59 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: is that is that this is a hold out? Um, 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: it is still voluntary now, so that's something to keep 61 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: in mind. Um, And he said he can't wait to 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: get back. So, like I said, I think in the 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: perfect world, you want every buddy there. You want your 64 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: quarterback there, um, but you know he's gonna be back soon. 65 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: And and I don't get the sense, you know, after 66 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: hearing from the guys on podium that they're sounding the 67 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: alarm or anything like that. Yeah, I think the question 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: is why, right, So you know Lamar said he can't 69 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: wait to be actual, then why aren't you you know 70 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: what I mean, what's stopping him? And we don't know, right, 71 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: And that's why I thought John Harball's answer was saying, 72 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I'll let Lamar answer that question, uh 73 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: and speak for himself about why. I thought was an 74 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: appropriate response. And you have seen, like you know, based 75 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: on the the sliver of information that we have, like 76 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: from social media, there have been many times that we've 77 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: seen Lamar working this offseason, you know, like he's working 78 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: with the private quarterbacks coach. He's been out here um previously, 79 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: He's got his receivers together and put in time with them. 80 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: So it's not like the season ended and Lamar like 81 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: just went off the map and hasn't been doing anything 82 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: he had. He's been working, um. And I think that 83 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: was the point you know that Mark Andrews made too. Yeah, 84 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: and obviously would want him or prefer for him to 85 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: be working with the team, right, because O t A 86 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: s are a time when you start to build that 87 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: chemistry and you you know, you're installing the framework of 88 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: the offensive system, and you want your starting quarterback to 89 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: be there. Right. He's the most important player on the field, 90 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: and so you want him to be there. Um, But 91 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: like is the end of the world, and doesn't mean 92 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: that you know, I'm gonna shave some some dubs off 93 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: the record. What what do you have? Do we have? 94 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: We had fourteen and three or three worst case scenario 95 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: servative tusday scenario fourteen three, So you know I'm not 96 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: gonna drop that to the thirteen and four now, you know. Um, 97 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: But like you know, I think I'm curious to hear 98 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: why Lamar is not here. He's attended all the other 99 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: O t as, right, and like I don't know, years 100 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: in previous years exactly, he's always been here and so 101 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: why is this year different? I don't know. You know, 102 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: obviously the speculation is this contract relating all that stuff, 103 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: which wouldn't make any sense because the reports are that 104 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Lamar has been the one that has not been in 105 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: a hurry to sign a contract. So I don't know. Yeah, 106 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'll be interested to hear what 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: Lamar says when he gets back. I will say this. Um, 108 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, last year going in the training camp and 109 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Lamar got COVID at the beginning of training camp and 110 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: missed whatever the first week or whatever, and everybody was like, 111 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what does this mean. The offense is done? 112 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: We're dudes, we're gonna get off to a slow start. 113 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: LR look pretty good at the beginning of last year. 114 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: It's playing pretty good ball. Um. So, like, while we 115 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: all say, and it's true that you would want him 116 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: to be here, and like building that chemistry is always 117 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: a positive, and like Mark Andrews said, you know, like 118 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: this is where it begins and you start to kind of, 119 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, be around the guys and 120 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: it feels good to be around the guys to start 121 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: to build that relationship and and and the system and 122 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Like it's all good. It's all positive. 123 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: But I don't think if you take it away that 124 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, oh, it's all negative, and like 125 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: it's like you're you're cooked, you know what I mean. 126 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: It's not like the train has not left the station. Oh, 127 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: we're going to that one. There were a lot of 128 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 1: trainer year. When's the train pulling out? Yeah, yeah, it's 129 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: it's still very much in the station right now. It 130 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: is um all right. So in terms of guys who 131 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: were here, you know, we can talk about who wasn't, 132 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: but you know, it was good to see the players 133 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: who were here. So uh, you know, first, first and foremost, 134 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about guys coming back from injuries, because because 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: I think that is going to be one of, if 136 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: not the biggest storylines for this team going over this season. 137 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: So many Marquis guys who missed last year, and it's 138 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: encouraging to see some of them already back in action. 139 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Marl Humphrey was back out there. Uh. Dalen Hayes, rookie 140 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: last year who missed time over the course of the 141 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: entire season. Yeah, he was back out there, which I 142 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: thought was good for a young player like him to 143 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: be back out there. Justice Hill, who missed all last 144 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: season with torn achilles big in terms of like surprising 145 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: kind of yeah, I mean, he he went down. You know, 146 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: he was in that kind of doomsday week there where 147 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: everybody who seemed to be getting hurt Marcus Peters, Gus Edwards, 148 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: J K. Dobbins was right before that, and Justice Hill 149 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: was right there in that mix, and uh he was 150 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: back out there running with you know, full team drills 151 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven. It looks pretty good. Yeah, So it 152 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: looked fast. That was encouraging, very quick. It was interesting. 153 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: Like it just makes me thinking, every injury is its own, 154 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, has its own recovery. It's its own thing, right, um, 155 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: but it kind of makes me think, like guys come 156 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: back from Achilles, is that a more um reliable time 157 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: frame for their return and like surgery that you know, 158 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: the recovery is going to go pretty well? Like is 159 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: it just then an a c L at this point? 160 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like you used to think 161 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: of Achilles as being career enders almost yeah, you know, 162 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: like don't ever come back from that, you know what 163 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean? And now you see it all the time 164 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: with guys pop and Achilles and coming back, and it's 165 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: just I don't know, I thought that was interesting, you know, 166 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: and and honestly it makes me think about David Jabo. 167 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: I knew you were going there, yeah, and you know, 168 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: is that a reliable surgery? You know what you're gonna 169 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: get you know the time frame. You know it's gonna 170 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: be a full recovery. He'll be back on the field 171 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: at this time. You don't have to be so worried, 172 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: you know. Maybe maybe I think it's always a little 173 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: bit tricky, and it's tough to compare injuries. Yeah, exactly, 174 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: different bodies recovering different ways, and that you play the 175 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: age of the person who deals with it all that, 176 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: so I think that all comes into play. But I 177 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: thought it was I mean, I think that that tells 178 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: you justice. He has been certainly working behind the scenes 179 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: to try to get back, and you know he's going 180 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: to be in a position battle this year to make 181 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: the team. I must have added Mike Davis um, they 182 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: drafted a rookie and Tyler Batty, So like competition is 183 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: gonna be stiff there for that third running back spot. 184 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they keep forward depending on the status of Edwards 185 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: and Dobbins to start the season. But you know, I 186 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: think he knows that and he wanted to be back 187 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: out there as soon as possible, and I think that 188 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: was a good step for him. He looked really good, 189 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: he did. I was encouraged by that in terms of 190 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: Marlon like that. He also looked really good. Uh. He 191 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: tore his peck um, you know, midway through the season, 192 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: and so you know, it's that's it's not like a 193 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: leg injury where you're like a knee injury like the 194 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: guys like I, I honestly thought, I mean, like you 195 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: could see him just easing his way back in and 196 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: doing a lot of individual stuff. I could have like 197 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: imagined that, but I thought back on the field, like 198 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that that injury you can come back 199 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: from and not that long a time. Yeah, like he was, 200 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean he was running eleven on exactly then more 201 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: than I anticipated, is what I'm for sure, especially as 202 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: a veteran player, like he was out there running with 203 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: the first team offense leven on eleven did not seem 204 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: hindered at all. Yeah, which was encouraging. What up and 205 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: challenge Bateman in the end zone on a red zone 206 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: fade and uh Bateman did not come down with it, 207 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: that is true. And then and then the other one 208 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: was a way no, oh wait played the full season 209 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: last year. Well, yeah, that's true, Like he had the 210 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: shoulder injury, um, and then he had offseason shoulder surgery 211 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: and so he was back out. Shoulder basically was bothering him. 212 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: For what's talking to him yesterday. It sounds like the 213 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: shoulder was bothering for most of the season. Then it 214 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: reached a point late in the year where it was 215 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: just too much to play with and he just had 216 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: to shut it down and go on the shelf. But 217 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: you know he was now he I don't he wasn't 218 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: doing quite as much. You know, I thought it was 219 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: like Marlon for example. Um so he's still you know, 220 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: he's in his way. And also when you're playing that 221 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: the you know, the front seven, you're there's a little 222 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: bit more. Shoulder surgery came later than Marlins. Marlin was 223 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: almost instant right, and and he was after the season 224 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: of the season exactly so. But still good to be 225 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: on the field. Good to be on the field. Is 226 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: there anyone else I'm missing that came back? Uh No, No, 227 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: there's um we mentioned Dalen Hayes. There's nobody else. I mean, 228 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: Nick Boyle was a player last year who you know, 229 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: was never really at it seemed, um now he was 230 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: participating in O t s on Tuesday, did not on Wednesday. Uh. 231 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: Jown James is another player that has been sitting out. 232 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: He played what he sat out and nineteen and played 233 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: three games the year before that. I believe, Am I 234 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: getting this right? Well, he missed all twenty one, he missed, 235 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: he sat out twenty and then he played like three 236 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: games and then and so now he's working his way back. Um, 237 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of Ravens. You know, we've 238 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: got a lot of questions about Jowan James over the 239 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: past years since the Ravens added him towards Achilles in 240 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: March of of te um and so, but he was 241 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: not out there on on Wednesday, So did not see 242 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: him on Nick Boyle by the way, just a note, 243 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: I know he was not out there, but I thought 244 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: it was interesting. Mark Andrews talked about how in the 245 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: off season he went out brought his whole family out 246 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: to Arizona with Mark and Um, they spent time training 247 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: together and he feels like he's going to bounce back 248 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: in a big way. So I think it's like, you 249 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: don't see him out there, and given like his on 250 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: again off again injury situation last year, you're kind of like, 251 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: that's not good. And of course, again you want everybody 252 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: out there all the time. But hearing from Mark made 253 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: me feel like, Okay, Nick Boyle is going to be 254 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: back to Nick Boyle this year. Right. It gave me 255 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: more confidence for sure. I mean, he was just very 256 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: complimentary at the tight ends. In general, it feels like 257 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: the rookies are really good other ahead than he was 258 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: as a rookie. He said, Um so the tight end 259 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: beast room is back. Um. You know. Another absence was 260 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: Marcus Williams Um the Ravens Free Asian edition at safety. 261 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: You know, I he certainly could have been out there, 262 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of times new players free 263 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: Asian editions will will be there. Morgan Moses was there 264 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: for the first day on Tuesday, was not at practice 265 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Um. So I don't know exactly why Marcus 266 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: isn't at the volunt voluntary He's coming next week, Yeah, 267 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: he said he's coming next week. So I don't think 268 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Um. And oftentimes they've veterans have 269 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of rotated in and out because they want to 270 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: get the coaches honestly want to get the young guys 271 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: a lot of reps right now during these O t 272 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: A s and minicamp and whatnot before you get to 273 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: training camp, Like it's a good time to just see 274 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: the young players and so you know class Campbell not 275 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: being there whatever, you know what I mean, Like, it's 276 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: that's fine. Um, So Marcus will get up to speed 277 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: next week. He's been here this offseason and out during 278 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: the conditioning program starting conditioning program, so he's been around, 279 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: has certainly been doing his homework on this system and 280 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So new big deal there. Yeah, And 281 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: then in terms of guys who just aren't aren't back 282 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: yet on the field from an injury standpoint, it's some 283 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: of the people that you would expect. It's J K. Dobbins, 284 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, Marcus Peters, Rye Stanley. You know, there's are 285 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: kind of the big four right there, and those good 286 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: Ties Bowser as well Ties Spowlser towards Achilles in the the 287 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: last game of the season, so he's, you know, of 288 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: that group, you would think probably the last one, UH 289 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: to potentially get back on the field. Obviously depends on 290 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: the recovery for all Achilles. Suddenly you just thinking Achilles, 291 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: it's like a six week injury, he's back in the start. 292 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: Just yeah, it pops some Madville with that Achilles walking 293 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: in for the offseason conditioning program. Looks great. He's no 294 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: like never hands step right, seriously he did. He looks 295 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: he looks smooth. He was. He was walking very smoothly. 296 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: So he's ready. Yeah, put him out on the field. 297 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Seventy staffs. He's ready to go. You probably achills. You 298 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: have to have that little cart, scuter car, yeah, to 299 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: put him out of the field, scuter cart whatever. Doesn't 300 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: need it. He looked great. Um, but uh yeah, so 301 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: so those will have to wait. In terms of the 302 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: my takeaway from the day and watching practice, I definitely 303 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: think the defense one the day, um, which you would 304 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: probably expect for a day where you're starting quarterback, is 305 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: not there. Um. And a lot of your you know, 306 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: a lot of your defensive players are um. But I 307 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: do think that like the offense wasn't particularly sharp and 308 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: the defense had a better showing. Yeah, I thought there 309 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: are a number of drops, uh for the offense, particularly 310 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver. You know, there's been a lot of discussion 311 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: about wide receiver and whether the Ravens need to at 312 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: a veteran uh. You know, Wednesday wasn't their best showing. Uh, 313 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: But I'm far from sounding the alarm, you know, And say, 314 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they had a couple of drop balls 315 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: better signed Jo Joe. I mean now you, on the 316 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: other hand, are a little different. Um, but yeah, I 317 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: mean Rashad Baten. Uh, it was like a day of 318 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: kind of close calls close, you know, near Mrs Firs 319 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: shot you know you had it. Uh, got just blew 320 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: past Brandon Stevens to get deep and had one. The 321 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: throw was just a little too deep, kind of off 322 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: the fingertips a little bit, couldn't haul it in. Had 323 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: the red zone fade against Marlon Humphrey that I mentioned 324 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: went up. I mean a great route off the line, 325 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: got open, elevated hands on the ball and just didn't 326 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it got knocked away on his 327 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: way down or what happened exactly, but just didn't come 328 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: down with it. Yeah, Like that's like, yeah, like you're there. 329 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: It's just now matter. You gotta finish that place. But 330 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: it was encouraging, like that's probably what right. Yeah, his 331 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: coaches were probably saying, like you gotta finish. But like 332 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: I love the route, I love the release, you know, 333 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: got open, I love the burst, you know you see it. 334 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: It's just gotta finish the play. Yeah, right, exactly so, 335 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: and he makes back. He knows that he was. He 336 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: was ticked off after that one against Marlon Ladon. He 337 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: wanted that one against the one on one are really good, 338 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: really Smith, I mean he is like explosive off the line, 339 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: has a nice repertoire moves. I like what I see 340 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: from Hi Beatman, especially coming off the live scripts. Just 341 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: gotta finish. He actually, in the interview with Marlin that 342 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: he did uh, he actually talked about kind of the 343 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: release off the line and basically said, if he feels 344 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: like he can get off the line without being touched, 345 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: he's open. And I think you see that, and that's 346 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: part of the reason he puts so much into the 347 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: focus on those releases, because if he can get off 348 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: the line without a corner getting hands on him, then 349 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: he feels like he's going to come down with ball. 350 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: Now you gotta come down with the ball, um. But 351 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: I think that you're seeing that work in translate to 352 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: the field. Oh. I saw it last year as a rookie. 353 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he puts some moves on Marlon lash year 354 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: in training camp that I remember in one on ones 355 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: being like oh my yeah, and he's you know, he Um, 356 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: the thing is like, and this is what we've talked 357 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: about previously, like the Ravens, this receiving corps. Like, like 358 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: you said, it wasn't a particularly strong day. Tom Wallace 359 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: had a couple drops, was doing push ups, and so 360 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: like there's a lot on these guys, and they they 361 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: hear it, they see it. Yeah, you know the situation. 362 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: They are very well aware of it, and so like 363 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: they they are. These next three weeks I think are 364 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: gonna be really significant as the Ravens make a determination 365 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: like do they need to go out there and sign 366 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: a veteran, do they need to make a trade. Like 367 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: if they if the front office and the coaching staff 368 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: feels good about what they're seeing from these guys, then 369 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: they may say, like all right, let's roll and hardball. 370 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: You know, you asked him about the receivers, and I 371 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: thought he gave a pretty good answer on that yesterday. 372 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: He did. Yeah, he said he was excited about it. 373 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: He said, you know, we all like to kind of 374 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: cling to these name players, right, and these known veterans, right, 375 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: and you you kind of feel like let me go 376 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: get a Jarvis Landry or let me go get or whatever, 377 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: because you just you know that name. You know they've 378 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: had success in the league, but eventually you kind of 379 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: gotta let them spread their wings and fly, like I've 380 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: talked about before, and especially when all you've seen to 381 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: this point is success when they've been given the opportunities, right, 382 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's like we've we've knocked the Ravens for 383 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: so many years for not developing young wide receivers. Well, 384 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: you gotta give him a chance to develop. Like if 385 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: you keep signing that veteran that just blocks them and 386 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: you you see flashes and practice, but then yeah, maybe 387 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: you'll get you know, five ten snaps on the game day. 388 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: The guy just can't develop, you know, and when they're 389 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: working with the second team quarterback throughout practic throughout training camp, 390 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: Like you gotta let these guys, like I said, take 391 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: off and fly. And so I think the Ravens are 392 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: in a position certainly, I think during O, T A 393 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: s and man camp, like you're saying to give them 394 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: those reps. And that's another reason I think that why 395 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: they want Lamar here, right, Like if you have your 396 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, well now you can get a better gauge 397 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: of these wide receivers and stuff too. As opposed to 398 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: having a too and number three quarterback throwing to them right, 399 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: and so like, uh, I think I agree with you. 400 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: How they practice is going to be a component of 401 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: whether they feel like ultimately they need to add a 402 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: wide receiver that shakes loose or whatever. Nonber Line totally. Um, 403 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: But I'm not worried about it. You are so now, 404 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: I I like these guys. I I just like yesterday 405 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't their best day. Um. And so like you're 406 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: you're just one of those guys, You're just skies fallen. No, 407 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm not at all. I'm not making any sort of 408 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: snap judgments from one o c a practice. Like I 409 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: still think that, like I stand by everything that I've 410 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: I've said. I I just think that, like, there is 411 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: a lot riding on this young receiving corps um and 412 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: now it's on them to go out there and prove it. 413 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: And that's what this that's what this off season and 414 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: this training camp I think you're going to be about 415 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, is getting these young guys 416 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: ready to go out there and get the job time. 417 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: What's also interesting to see, you know, you kind of 418 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: know right now who the top four wide receiver are right. 419 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: You have Bateman, du Rene Prochet and Tyler Wallas Well 420 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 1: who's the fifth, who's the sixth? Right, Like, those are 421 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: competitions that are going on right now. And among the 422 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: undrafted rookies for the most part, the Ravens brought in 423 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: a huge undrafted rookie class. And I'll tell you one 424 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: guy stood out to me a little bit with Slade Bolden, 425 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: Slade Bowlding out of Alabama, slot receiver five eleven nine. 426 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: So like, not what you know, the Ravens running a 427 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: bunch of big wide receivers in the undrafted class, because 428 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of what they're missing, especially after the release 429 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: of Miles Breaking. You could use a big body guy 430 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: to kind of compliment the other pieces, right, and a 431 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: blocker and whatnot. So they have a type that they want. 432 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: But but they brought in Slade Bolden for a reason. 433 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: And the dude is shifty, He is quick and shift 434 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: the on the line. He's got some moves. I'm just saying, 435 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: somebody I'm gonna be watching, I'm not gonna get it 436 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: ahead of myself because I would never do that. Did 437 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: you spend the first like three minutes of the podcast 438 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: talking about how you always get ahead of yourself with 439 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: the joke. But I'm just saying I'm a little intrigued 440 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: my guy, Slave Bolden UH and another player that I 441 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: thought was interesting that was brought up. You know, if 442 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: you haven't watched it yet, make sure you watch our 443 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: our big Wired feature UH inside Ravens Rookie Minicamp. And 444 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: somebody that the coaches discussed. You know, there's some awesome 445 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: footage that we've never really seen before inside coaches meetings, 446 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: and it was inside the offensive coaches meetings and Gregg 447 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: Roman's meetings. And one player that they brought up, and 448 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: I think it was T Martin talked about, was Shamar Bridges, 449 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: the six ft four two seven two hundred and seven 450 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: pound undrafted rookie wide receiver from Fort Valley State. UH 451 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: said that he was kind of ahead a little bit 452 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: in ahead of those other guys necessarily or or maybe 453 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: just ahead of the curb and learning from a typical rookie. 454 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but that he's impressing him so far. 455 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: So now now I got my eyes on him too. 456 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: Mr Bridges, Well, I think you bring up a good point, 457 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: which is like that competition for the fifth I mean 458 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: often times you have six receivers on the roster exactly, 459 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: that's two spots, and so maybe there's less this year 460 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 1: because we have so many tight ends, right, and if 461 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: you end up having to keep another running back, potentially 462 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: exactly there might be an extra s about at running back. 463 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: There could be there's gonna be four tight ends plus 464 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: uh Recard right, he's a fullback slash sight end uh 465 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: and correct. I think you might keep four running backs 466 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: this this year to start the year at least. And 467 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: you also have you know, a bunch of guys here 468 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: we are doing our fifty three to I mean Beatty, 469 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: you know you're it would be surprising to see him 470 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: not make the team as a six round pick. It's happened, um, 471 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: but it would be surprising. So to me, it's almost 472 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: comes down to Justice Hill versus Mike Davis, right, both 473 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: guys who have shown the receiving capabilities and years past 474 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: kind of both in that mold Tyler. Beatty, by the way, 475 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: I thought, had one of the nicest plays of the 476 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: day out of one handed snag out of the backfield, 477 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: kind of had to turn his body make a tough 478 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: catch and then turn and get up field. I like 479 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: that from him, like that was a play that caught 480 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: my eye. Is one of the best of the day. 481 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: I agree, definitely the play of the day though. You 482 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: have to give it to p Q. Yes, the interception, 483 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: the one handed diving to the ground interception off the 484 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: ball off Tyler Walls stands. Yeah, it's a nice play. 485 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: Give it to p Q. Hats off my friend. All right, 486 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: we'll take a quick break and then when we come back, 487 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: we'll give you our final thoughts on the first week 488 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: of O t A s Well.

Nicely done, 501 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: nicely done. I like the improv improv that you added 502 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: their improvisation. Yeah, right, yeah, I like that. It was 503 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: well done. UM So, yeah, you mentioned peq He he 504 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: had a nice play. I think you know, we talked 505 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: about this a little bit earlier in the previous podcast. 506 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: That's something that you're always kind of looking at in 507 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: UM in training camp or these or some of these 508 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: ot A practices, is like who's lining up where and 509 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: who's getting reps with what team? And I thought I 510 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: thought that was like something that I was keeping an 511 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: eye on. Vince Biegel, who the Ravens UH recently added 512 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: as a veteran hybrid inside outside linebacker, getting a lot 513 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: of wrong with the first team and outside linebacker primarily 514 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: UM which I mean, they need more depth at outside linebacker, 515 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: there's no bones about it. Jalen Ferguson was not on 516 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: the field uh Wednesday, so you know, maybe that was 517 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: also part of the reason while he was lining up 518 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: moored outside linebacker. But I mean they need outside linebacker help. 519 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they drafted one, but he's not gonna be 520 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: ready to start. A season in the JABO. Uh. I 521 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: mean as of now tis bowler. We already talked about 522 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: whether he'll be ready to start a season. We don't know. Um, 523 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: so you need bodies. I mean Dale and Hayes was 524 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: out there. I thought he looked pretty good. You know me, 525 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm a fan. You've been, You've will you have been 526 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: on the Dalen Hayes bandwagon for a long time, so 527 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: I'll give you credit there. I'm a fan. Um, but 528 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: I think that Beagle might be primarily utilized as an 529 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, especially until these guys are back on the field. Um, 530 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, justin Houston remains whether they bring him back 531 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: or not to be determined. I think it makes a 532 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: whole lot of sense in my opinion. Um, but that 533 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be untill training camp. Maybe mandatory mini camp, 534 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: but we'll see. Um. So yeah, I like Beagle too, Like, 535 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: this is the guy who's just had injury. He's just 536 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: kind of been snake bitten a little bit. But if 537 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, I think we're talking we're talking 538 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: about a player with some potential, so um a solid addition. 539 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: So yeah, I liked him. I thought another thing that 540 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about yet is Chuck Clark. Chuck Clark 541 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: being at O T A S is the most Chuck 542 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: Clark thing. Yeah, I mean just a pros pro. You 543 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: gotta hand it to Chuck Clark. I love seeing it 544 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: and like coaching guys still like it wasn't like you 545 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: showed up, but he's kind of like, alright, I'm here. 546 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: You know, I've heard all noise, but I'm showing up. 547 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: Like no. It was the same Chuck Clark, like coaching 548 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: up his teammates, communicating like leading, like you just like 549 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, absolutely, I mean, and him and 550 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson were getting you know, most of the run 551 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: with the first team defense. He had some place too. Yeah, 552 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: Tony was active, like you know with the Ravens added 553 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: him last year and then he gets kind of like 554 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: thrown into the line because of all the injuries, and 555 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: it was like, you know, it's just kind of a 556 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: Swan song, you don't know, And that was like, I 557 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: think he can still play, like broke one up intended 558 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: for Mark Andrews down. Now there's a lot of safety, 559 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: has a lot of competition there, but oh, I think 560 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: Tony is gonna be on the team. But I think 561 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: so too for sure. I mean, I think he's fills 562 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: Anthony Levine void. Plus I think he offers a little 563 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: bit more outside of special teams as a reserve safety. 564 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: One of my favorite moments from practice was what I 565 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: was standing out there and Tony, hey, Meg, I look 566 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: up at these points to his jersey, holds up his 567 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: jersey because I tweeted that he's wearing twenty three, which 568 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: is the same nim the Kyle Fuller war throughout his 569 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: NFL career. Fuller, So I was like, who's gonna take 570 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: twenty three? Tony responded was like, hell, no, I'm not 571 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: giving up twenty three. What number did he wear it 572 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 1: last year? Because he came back, you know, and he 573 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: wasn't wearing twenty three because he's wearing some other number. 574 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: And then I think he switched to twenty three. Yea 575 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: favorite had twenty three last Yet whatever number Tony had, 576 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: it was a bad one. It was not it was 577 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: a bad one. And so he got back in twenty 578 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: three and he's not giving Kyle Fuller across to him, 579 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: he should not give it up. I who hardly agree, 580 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: and I love players calling you out. That's like that, 581 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 1: um Kyle Fuller is um he was not out there. 582 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: In case fans are wondering, UM, I don't know that 583 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: he's we've announced that he's agreed to terms. I don't 584 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: know if he's officially in the building inside his contract. 585 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't know where that stands. But um so um. 586 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: I also will say this on the secondary man, Kyle 587 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: Hamilton's is natural getting into this yet. I mean, he's 588 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway from practice. He looks pretty good. He 589 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: does look very good. He was in the backfield of times. 590 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: There was a play where he was I mean probably 591 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: would have had a sack. Um. He never He's never 592 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: had a sack in his football career. This maybe the 593 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: year year. I don't want to, I will, I will 594 00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: lay down some chicken bucks. Kyle Hamilton is getting the 595 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: sack this year. Hen you personally, I would never gambled. 596 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: They have never, but yeah, he he kind of went 597 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: up against the Tyler Batty went on one in the 598 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: backfield arm blitz um and there was another play over 599 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: the middle where he came down and there's no contact 600 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: in these practices, so he didn't make contact. But I 601 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: think if there was contact, he would have lit somebody 602 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: up over the middle of would have been not on 603 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: the team anymore. His head would have been speaking to 604 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson. Tony Jefferson went nuts on that play. He 605 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: was running around hooton holler and excited about that play 606 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: because Hamilton's would have destroyed him over the middle of 607 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: the field. It would have been ugly. Yes, I mean 608 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: he comes downhill in a flash, and really that speaks 609 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: not just to his athleticism, but there's instincts that George 610 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: he has talked about, like just reading things quickly, breaking 611 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: on it with assurances, you know, like knowing what he's 612 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: doing and not hesitating. That's a really good sign to 613 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: see from a rookie. Usually, especially at safe you like, 614 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of thinking going on and you don't 615 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: want to make mistakes and all that. But it's good 616 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: to see him now you know. The stuff going on 617 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: behind him probably takes a little bit, you know, reading 618 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: those routes, those deeper routes and passing things off and 619 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: all that will take more time and experience. But seeing 620 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: something underneath and closing on it in a Jeffy is great. Yeah. 621 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: The last takeaway that I have and this is something 622 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: I liked his um. Some of the vets were giving 623 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: Jordan's Stout a hard time. They and which I like 624 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: in these practices. And I remember when Justin Tucker was rooking, 625 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: when Terrell Sugs would be standing right behind him and 626 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: giving him, you know, kind of intimidating him to be like, 627 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: all right, this is a big kick. Let's see what 628 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: you got. Just like putting the heat off the pressure 629 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: this kick. You're not making the team, rookie. Yeah, and uh, 630 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: And I think it was Tony Jefferson amongst some other 631 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: guys who were yelling at Jordan's Stout as a holder 632 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, we got a new holder back there. 633 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: Don't screw it up, don't screw it up, rook Well, well, 634 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker made his first attempt I think it was 635 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: from thirty eight and said still got a boy then, 636 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: and then he missed the next to and and so 637 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: of course everybody started blaming the hold. Obviously couldn't be 638 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: Tucker's fault. So everybody, we didn't get a new holder 639 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: back there, get a new holder. You know, Sam Cook's 640 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: standing right there, you right, coach Sam Cook? Um, So yeah, 641 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: I like it too. They're gonna they're gonna put some 642 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: heat on him. Yeah, and he did, and he did well. 643 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean he did and there was no evidence that 644 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: the hold was the problem. I don't I don't know 645 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: why I missed it, but yeah, from thirty yards away, 646 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell exactly, but he, Uh, They're gonna put 647 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: heat on him, and I think he's gonna like that, honestly. 648 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,959 Speaker 1: Like that pressure I think serves a young player as 649 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: a holder or a kicker or a punter really well, 650 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: once you get into actual games, like if you got 651 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: veteran players kind of breathing down your neck and let 652 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: you know that you can't screw it up, it makes 653 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: it easier once you get to the reaction. Ye. My 654 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: last point was I thought this is interesting from Marlon 655 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: Humphrey talking about Mike McDonald and the changes that he 656 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: has brought to this defense and talking about how Mike 657 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: has made him and everyone a smarter football player, which 658 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: isn't surprising considering Mike Donald's pretty smart guy himself. Um, 659 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: but just the way he you know, and and oftentimes 660 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: you hear players say, well, you know, I like that 661 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: the coach explains the why, not just the what of 662 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: what the call is right, and that's not uncommon here, 663 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: but this was further than that. This was more than 664 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: that in him explaining, like, Okay, this cluster of calls, 665 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: this is why I would call this play in this situation. 666 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: These groupings of callings are to defend against this kind 667 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: of offense, right, And it's almost like, I it crossed 668 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: my mind during this is like Michael McDonald's making a 669 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: bunch of future coaches, you know what I mean? Like that, 670 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: it's just explaining the game and his thought process and 671 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: the way this defensive structured and schematically engineered in a 672 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: different way than a lot of coaches do and have. 673 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: For I also thought, you know, you mentioned the episode 674 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: of Wired earlier here Mike was miked up for rookie Minicamp, 675 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: and like, you can just see how vocal he is, 676 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: how active he is, kind of the thought process that 677 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: he has in the few clips of him in that 678 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: episode that I thought, again, if fans haven't watched it yet, 679 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: check that out, because I just think he's gonna be great. 680 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: I really do think Mike is gonna be a great 681 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. I like to move from the start, and 682 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: I think that like, he's not a shrinking Violet. Like 683 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: he's so young. Ye, he's probably younger than some of 684 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: the players because Clays. Yeah he's younger than Clays. Um. 685 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: But like he's gonna be vocal and he'll get on 686 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: your butt. You know, he's not gonna just be like 687 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: Mr Cool. I want to be cool with everybody. And 688 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: yeah he got he'll let you up. Yeah, he got 689 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: on Kyle Hamilton's early in practice. Um, you know, for 690 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: a mistake that he made, for whatever it was. So 691 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: he is he is absolutely gonna get on guys and 692 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: be very vocal. And I think you've got a glimpse 693 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: of that in this episode of Wired, so good first 694 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: week good practice session that we watched of organized team activities. 695 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: There's two more weeks of O T A S coming 696 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: and then it will be mandatory minicamp right after that. 697 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: So we're in football mode.
