1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Welcome into Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan mink here

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: at Garrett Downing, and training camp kind of starts this week.

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: The rookies report, the quarterbacks and injured injured vets report

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: this week, so things are getting underway, and before we

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: really get into the practice action, Gary and I wanted

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: to take on the biggest unanswered questions heading into training camp.

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and as we've all talked about, we feel like

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: there aren't too many questions with this team. The Ravens

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: are in a really good position roster, composition wise, experience wise.

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: The team is built to win. They're built to win

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: right now. With that said, like any team, there are

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: some questions lingering afore this group going into training camp,

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: and the next few weeks are going to be spent

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: trying to answer some of those, and we want to

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: dive into some of those today. And I think the

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: starting point is like the positions that are up for graps,

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Like what are the starting jobs.

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: Not necessarily just starting, but like really key key roles.

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: And like the truth, there's not many starting spots.

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: There's not like if you go through it, there's not

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: like true competitions that are out there for starting jobs

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: on either side of the ball, and again that's a

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: really good place to start. And then even when you

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: start going like too deep, there's it's pretty clear what

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: the depth chart of the team is going to look like. However,

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: I think the biggest question from a starting standpoint on

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: the team, probably on the well, let's start on offense,

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: is that left guard. That's the biggest question right now.

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: Andrew Vorhees is probably the leader in the clubhouse there,

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: but last year's starter for the majority of the season

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: was Pat McCarey. He's gone, he left in free agency,

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: so it's left guard, and again, good spot to be

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: if like, the biggest offensive question you have is one

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: of your starting guard jobs. But that is something that

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: the Ravens have to figure out over the course of.

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: This training camp.

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, his top competitor's Ben Cleveland, you know, now going

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: into his fifth season, can he emerge and become kind

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: of the player the Ravens hoped he could become when

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: they drafted him. Like you said, I think four he's

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: is the favorite for that job. But it's also not

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: not just a question of like who wins that job,

43
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: but how high of a level are they gonna play

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: at you know, I mean, for he's won the job

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: last year, and I think that he played okay, you know,

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: there was room for improvement, and I think when he

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: came back and played in the regular season finale against

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: the Browns, you saw that improvement. He played better in

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: that game than he did early in the season before

50
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: his injury. And so does he pick up where he

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: left off and keep growing from that Week eighteen version

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: of Andrew Voorhees even when he you know, if he

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: wins a job or you know, where is he at?

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: Like I think, and generally speaking, like where's the guard play?

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: How good is your guard play?

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: Gonna?

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Because Leile had his rough spots last season, I think

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: he progressed as the year went on and became a

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: better and better player.

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: Was a pro waltch in it. But you know, how

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: how much advancement does he make?

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: And so we're gonna get into that a little bit later,

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: But I think it's beyond just who wins the starting job.

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that, and with where he's at,

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: love guard, like you and I both are believers in

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: him and his ability to just come in and be

67
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: a good player.

68
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: Like I just we had a friend of the lounge.

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: He's a friend of the lounge, has been on a

70
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: couple of times, had him on earlier this offseason. I

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: love his mentalities, his mindset. I think he approaches things

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: the right way. Tough guy, he's in the like he's

73
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: literally in the building every single day, even when there's

74
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: like nobody else here. He just has that type of

75
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: mindset and work ethic. Uh And and I think that

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: he's ready. Last year, he hadn't he hadn't played in

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: the NFL yet, and he hadn't played football in a

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: year coming off the injury that he suffered at the combine,

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: So it was a big hurdle. Yeah, I just think

80
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: he's more prepared.

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot He's big, he's smart, and he has

82
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a great work ethic.

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: Like you have.

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Do you have those three qualities, you got a good

85
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: chance to be a good offensive linean in this league.

86
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: Right And I also like I am not as much

87
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: all that I stand by. I also think that this

88
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: is an opportunity for Ben Cleveland as well, and I

89
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: think he'll I think he'll challenge for that job. He's taken.

90
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: He's played games in the NFL in his career.

91
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: He's taken.

92
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: He took first team reps in the offseason, so like,

93
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: he's not gonna go quietly in that competition. I think

94
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: he's gonna push for He's for that job, and and

95
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: the summer is gonna determine who ends up winning it.

96
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: Yep.

97
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: The only other battle that I'll quickly point to on

98
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: offense in my mind is number four wide receiver, you know,

99
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: beyond the top three of Flowers, Bateman, and Hopkins. Is

100
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: it Von says Walker? Is it Tylan Wallace, who's kind

101
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: of the next guy. But I'm not gonna spend too

102
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: much time talking about that, considering that player probably you know,

103
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: knock on wood injury. Without injuries, that player catches a

104
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: maximum of ten balls.

105
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Uh huh, yeah, I mean maybe it maybe a touch more.

106
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: But but but I honestly, I think that could be situational.

107
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: I think that like if they if they look, if

108
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: they're looking for somebody to come in and try to

109
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: stretch the defense, run some go routes like that's that's

110
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Tess Walker, because it's more of like the looking to

111
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: pick up six yards in a clutch situation, that's Tyler Wallace.

112
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: He's done that plenty of times.

113
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 4: Yep, sure, all right.

114
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: The number one, honestly, probably most maybe you could say

115
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: most important competition is a kicker.

116
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah sure.

117
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean you have the two rookies battling at battling

118
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: that one out between Tyler Loop and John Hoyland, who's undrafted.

119
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: So you know, Tyler Loop being a draft six round

120
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: draft pick, certainly is considered the favorite to replace Justin

121
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: Tucker here in Baltimore. But like, let's not, you know,

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: glaze over the importance of your kicker. I mean, how

123
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: many games did Justin Tucker win here?

124
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: Yeah?

125
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 4: A lot.

126
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: It came down to his leg many many, many many

127
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: times here in Baltimore. And it's gonna come down to

128
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: whoever wins this job that, like the game will rest

129
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: on their shoulders multiple times this year.

130
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

131
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: I think we're in a little bit of uncharted territory

132
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: for a lot of Ravens fans because we haven't been

133
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: in the situation in more than a decade where you

134
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: just have uncertainty at the kicker position. Now they can

135
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: answer that there was uncertainty when Tucker came in as

136
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: a rookie at the kicker position and they ended up

137
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: winning Super.

138
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: Bowl feels like forever ago twenty twelve.

139
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so and then they and obviously they won

140
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl that year, So like, could that happen again? Certainly, hope.

141
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: So it's it's happened before, it could happen again. But

142
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: until either of those guys answer the question, there's just

143
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: going to remain uncertainty. And honestly, like, I think it's

144
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: kind of there's kind of two levels to this. Like

145
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: the first is who wins that job? And I think

146
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: it could go either way, but I'm with you. I

147
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: think that Tyler Loop has the the edge in that competition.

148
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: He was the guy that the Ravens may clear with

149
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: is who we want, this is who we drift.

150
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: And I think both have had both have generally kicked

151
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: well during OTA's and mini camp leading up to this.

152
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: I don't think.

153
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: Either one is separated from each other. Yeah, I don't

154
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: think necessarily on the field from what we've seen in

155
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: practice at least, So there's that it's going to be

156
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: won in training camp, and Loop has the edge because

157
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: he was drafted. He has done nothing to say Land

158
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: should be over.

159
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

160
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: Agree, So it's who wins it. But then the second

161
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: part of like that confidence piece that has to happen

162
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: to the season, Like, honestly, that has to be proven

163
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: once you get to the regular season and you have

164
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: a pressure kick, yep, and it's it's a forty eight

165
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: yard field goal in Kansas City in the fourth quarter.

166
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: He knocked that down, Like that's that's that's the moment

167
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: where if it's Loop, he has to go out there

168
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: and prove it. And until he does that, there's just

169
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: that uncertainty is going to remain. And again, I think

170
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: he can do it, but we're not going to know

171
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: that until you're in that situation.

172
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: Yep.

173
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I think there's of course levels to everything.

174
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, when you have the full team and training camp,

175
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the long practice and John Harball says,

176
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, all right, Loop, line it up from fifty

177
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: to end practice or we got one more set, one

178
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: more goal, one set in US yea, and the whole

179
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: team's watch and saying please hit this kick.

180
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: That's another level of pressure.

181
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: And then you get to the preseason and let's just

182
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: say it's a close battle between he and Hoyland, and

183
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: those preseason kicks are going to feel really important to

184
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: those guys to get a job, that's gonna be another

185
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: level of pressure.

186
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: But I agree with you.

187
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Until you're lining up a fourth quarter kick in Buffalo

188
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Week one whatever in Kansas City, like you said, that's

189
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: another level.

190
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, if you go back to Justin Tucker's rookie season,

191
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens won that primetime game against the New England

192
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: Patriots where he could kick the game winner. That was

193
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: a short field goal, but he barely made it in

194
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: the upright. Still Belichick didn't. He made it went over

195
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: the upright, but that was like, Okay, this is your

196
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: first real pressure moment and that one barely made it through.

197
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: But like those are the types of moments that.

198
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Kintucker years later talked about how if that kick hadn't

199
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: gone in, he doesn't you know which way does his

200
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: career go at that point?

201
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: Right? And so like we'll we'll find out with these guys,

202
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: and the pressure moments are gonna be here, like they're

203
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: gonna happen, yep, And you can't like you can just

204
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: basically these guys can prepare for it and put themselves

205
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: in good position for it, but you don't know until

206
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: you know, yep.

207
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: And then defensively. I think there's two spots that I

208
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: point to. One would the number three safety job, and

209
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: behind Kyle Hamilton and Malachi Starks, that's between Snoosy Cane

210
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: and Bo Braid as of now are the top contenders

211
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: for that.

212
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 4: And that's an important job.

213
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's not a starter, but the Ravens now,

214
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens have a lot of talent and depth at

215
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: corner so they could potentially use the third safety less

216
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: than they have the previous two years, but they're still

217
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna get snaps that number three safety as the Ravens

218
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: defense is very dynamic and likes to really rotate personnel

219
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: and give you a lot of different looks and keep

220
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: you guessing. So that's an important job and I think

221
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: one competition that remains unanswered for sure.

222
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm not as worried about it as I

223
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,239
Speaker 2: would have been at the Ravens, not at Ajaia. Alexander

224
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: just be really talented at cornerback because I think they

225
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: have versatility at corner that can help their overall secondary.

226
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: So that was like that was basically a piece added

227
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: to the secondary and they can play Marl I'm free

228
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: in the slot A Ton.

229
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of like, how much do you

230
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: want Kyle Hamilton up near the line of scrimmage? Because

231
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: if you if you like Kyle Hamilton playing near the

232
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, which I like him playing deep, but

233
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: I also like him playing near the line of scrimmage,

234
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: then that's when you want that third safety unless you

235
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: just go single high with Malachi. You could maybe if

236
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: you feel like he's got the range and the all

237
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: that the instincts, you could do more single high.

238
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: But like if.

239
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: Kyle's coming up and you still want to have two

240
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: safeties back, then that third role becomes very important.

241
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 4: It does.

242
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: It does, and I think that it Zach Orr and

243
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: these defensive coaches are going to have if you assume

244
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: you don't add anybody and your best secondary is with

245
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: those two safeties on the field. Like they're just gonna

246
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: have some decisions to make in terms of how they

247
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: want to play the personnel, but then also like the

248
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: alignments that they want to play in that's going to

249
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: have to be determined.

250
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: In training camp. I'm not like, I'm not as worried

251
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: about that.

252
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: I just feel like the Ravens have so many talented

253
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: pieces in the secondary that the mix the mess safety

254
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: is just.

255
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: Is not that big of a concern to me.

256
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: I feel like, if needed, Bo Bradis and Ucy Kane

257
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: could be in that role and play an adequate level

258
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 2: that I'm not stressing too much about, like what the

259
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: how good of play can the Ravens get out of

260
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: the number three safety position, like or do they need

261
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: to add somebody. I just feel like it's going to

262
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: be good enough, especially when you consider all the talent

263
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: they have at cornerback.

264
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: When the possibility that our Darius Washington returns late in

265
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: the season, also, yes, you can hold out hope that

266
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: like he's back and healthy and is able to make

267
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: an impact. You know, that's a while off, but late

268
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the other spot on defense would be inside linebacker and

269
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: next to Roquan Smith. I think Trent and Simpsons certainly

270
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: has the advantage in that competition, being that he's entering

271
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: his third year, he was a starter for much of

272
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: last season. He has the reps, and he's a talented guy,

273
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, dedicated, hard worker, all those things, you know.

274
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: I talked to him this summer and he said how

275
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: much better he feels in diagnosing plays and knowing what's coming,

276
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: and he's just playing so much faster and with more confidence,

277
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: and he really feels like this is his year to

278
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: have kind of that Year three breakout. At the same time,

279
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: I think, a it's not a lock that he's the

280
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: starter to be to be in the year. I think

281
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Teddy began in the fourth round rookies talented friend and

282
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: could push him, you know, for that starting job. I

283
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: expect Trenton's this week one starter, but Teddy could push him.

284
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: And I think how well Teddy plays and how well

285
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: Trenton plays will determine what the snap share looks like

286
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: between the two of them. Even even if Teddy's not

287
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: the starter, how big is his defensive role as a

288
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: rookie because that third safety, you know, you don't just

289
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if it's the rogue, I'm sorry, third

290
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: line back, inside linebacker. I'd be surprised if it's the

291
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: Roquwan Smith Patrick Queen both playing one hundred percent of

292
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: the snaps next to each other all year long scenario

293
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: that we had two years ago.

294
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so yeah.

295
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: I agree with all of that.

296
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: I think that Trent Simpson probably ends up as a starter.

297
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: There the question that I have is less about starter

298
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: and more about just the overall quality of that position.

299
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: I go back to when we had John Gruden on

300
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: the podcast when he was here during the offseason workouts,

301
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: and I made the point like that we said, at

302
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: the outside of this this team doesn't really have many questions,

303
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: like what do you see as a questions? And he

304
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: brought up He's like, well, they it's not linebacker is

305
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: a question. And that was one of the first things

306
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: he brought up. And he had just spent a lot

307
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: of time looking at this team and watching film on

308
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball and trying to find ways

309
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: to help these coaches and assessment and self scouting. So

310
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: I trust his opinion a lot more than mine.

311
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so like and I think we all went

312
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: into the draft thinking like, is they could potentially draft

313
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: an ins atlamaker first in the first round, Yeah, you know,

314
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: and they waited until they got one in the fourth round,

315
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: and so that kind of Yeah.

316
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: And like, you and I both think that Trent Simpson

317
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: could be really good. And if you remember Patrick Queen.

318
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: It's not like it was totally smooth sailing.

319
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: Throughout his career. His his breakout was really year three,

320
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: That's when he really started to take off, and I

321
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: think the same could be true for Trenton. And Teddy's

322
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: right there pushing him as well. So I think the

323
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: Ravens are going to be in good shape there. But

324
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: just like I said with Lupi, you have you just

325
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: have to see it. You have to these guys. Let's

326
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: let's say that at Trenton, he has to go out

327
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: there and play at the level that he's shown flashes of,

328
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: and I think he'll be able to do that. But

329
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: that's the question to me, is like and and Roquan

330
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: last year, like you know, he dealt with an injury,

331
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: so you know he was hobbled at a certain point

332
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: of the season, like he had to work his way back.

333
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: So I just think that, like you know that he's

334
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: going to be a tackling machine and racking up a

335
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: ton of tackles, and you just need that that group

336
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: to be playing at a really high level. And I

337
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: think I think they're able to do it. But that's

338
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: one of the questions that you just want to see

339
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: answered on the defense.

340
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so those are our biggest unanswered questions in terms

341
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: of starting jobs up for grabs and roles We're not

342
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: going to get into like the biggest questions of who's

343
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: going to be the fifty second and fifty third guy.

344
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 4: That's not the biggest question.

345
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: Let's let's zoom out a little bit and look at

346
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: this offense, and to me, it of course starts with

347
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. And the question here I think that's unanswered

348
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: is can he reach even another level?

349
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: Last year?

350
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: In my opinion, even though he didn't win MVP, he

351
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: should have, was his best year. I mean, it was

352
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: a historically good quarterback season. He was in contention going

353
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: into the final week for logging the highest quarterback rating

354
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: of all time for a single season. Like that was

355
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: a ridiculously good year by him. Can he not only

356
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: can he duplicate it, and not only duplicate can he

357
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: be even better? I think that that's a question and

358
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: part of the answer that we've heard this all season

359
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: in in where does Lamar get better?

360
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: You know, there's t T. Martin said, you know, they continue.

361
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: To put more on his plate, and it's the pre

362
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: snap diagnosis and and all those things. You know, I

363
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: think Lamar really post snap in service of his throne,

364
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: kak all those things.

365
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: Like he's he's he's there.

366
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, Like the advancements that

367
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: he made with just throwing the ball and all the

368
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: like that's behind those years since then, to me, it's

369
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: like pre snap. It's it's all those things which we

370
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: saw him be even better at last year, and they

371
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: put more on his plate, and he'll get more on

372
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: his plate this year. It's gonna be it's gonna look

373
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: like my Thanksgiving plate. But Lamar also pointed to like

374
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: the biggest where he sees the most opportunity for growth

375
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: is really as a leader and the communication and the

376
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: bonds that he has with his guys, and and the

377
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: fruits of of that that they can that fruits.

378
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: We're gonna be having a fruit draft. Lad, that's a

379
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: good teaser.

380
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: That was he didn't even plan that.

381
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: I didn't even that. Yeah, well done, We're gonna have

382
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: the fruit drafts.

383
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: So make sure he tuned in for that. Yeah, little teaser. Yeah,

384
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: but so like I think that could bear some major fruits.

385
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: Just to stick on the fruits we got any more?

386
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: Got any more for your labor their fruits?

387
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: Uh So Yeah, here's my answer to the question, Like,

388
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: can Lamar reach even another level? I said the same

389
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: thing last year, and I was My point was kind

390
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: of like, I I don't really know that he can.

391
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: Like he was so good in twenty three, he probably

392
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: can't get any better realistically, And then I was sure

393
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,239
Speaker 2: he got better, right, So I am not gonna make

394
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: that same mistake again. I think that he could keep

395
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: getting better. Part of it is that I think the

396
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: weapons around him have gotten even better. You've added DeAndre

397
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: Hopkins to the mix, and Rashad Bateman just continues to

398
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 2: grow as they Flowers continued. I think that the pieces

399
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: around him just continue to improve. So that can help him,

400
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: of course. But but the truth is, like, well, I

401
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: think he could continue to get better. But even if

402
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 2: he didn't, even if it was just the same, the

403
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: same story tie me up for that, Yeah, Like even

404
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: if it's the same or even a little bit worse,

405
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: like if that were to be the case, like it's

406
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: historically good, like it's an MVP level good. And so

407
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: I think that Lamar is gonna continue to be one of,

408
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: if not the best player in the NFL, and he's

409
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: gonna have this offense operating at such a high level,

410
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: putting up so many points. What it comes down to

411
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: really I think for him, and like this offense is

412
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: situational stuff, like they're gonna move the ball. Like they

413
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: are going to move the ball, you need to not

414
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: turn the ball over, and you need to be efficient

415
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: in the red zone. Like those are the things like

416
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: what could hold this offense back. It's basically being bad

417
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: in situations.

418
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 4: It's not scoring penalties.

419
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: It's penalties, it's turnovers and not scoring touchdowns when you're

420
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: on the red zone. Those are the three things that

421
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: like could hold this offense back. They're gonna be able

422
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: to move the ball, They're gonna be able to run it,

423
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: They're gonna be able.

424
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: To hit big plays.

425
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: Like all that is gonna is going to happen, but

426
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: you just can't have those bad situations that can costume.

427
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I absolutely agree with that, and I think that

428
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: leads to the next question is how does top Monkin

429
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: maximize the most weapons that we've maybe seen here in Baltimore. Right,

430
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Like we just got done talking about the embarrassment of

431
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: riches that the Ravens have from a weapons standpoint, offensively,

432
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: can they maximize that?

433
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 4: Right?

434
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: Like, Like how do you get the most out of

435
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and what his role is here to compliment

436
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers and Rasha Bateman.

437
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like.

438
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: We've seen You've seen teams who have had a crazy

439
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: amount of weapons and it just the puzzle pieces don't fit.

440
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: And so that's kind of the question. You know, you

441
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: have we have another year of Mark Andrews and Isaiah

442
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: likely and like what does that look like? Right? Like,

443
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I think how this offense evolves with the addition of

444
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Like if if he's practicing really well in

445
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: training camp and looks like coaches are like, man, we

446
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: gotta like we're gonna play a lot of three wide Yeah,

447
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna go three wide receiver a fair amount. Then

448
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: what does that look like? How does that change the offense?

449
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Because last year is so much too tight end, you know,

450
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: how do you how do you just incorporate and maximize

451
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: all of those talents?

452
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 4: That's the question.

453
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: I think that I really think it could be weak

454
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: to week.

455
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: You didn't even mention the running game, like of course, yeah,

456
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: I mean that's like you're gonna have like two thousand

457
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: rushing yards around that, but more than that most likely Betweens.

458
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: That's from Derek Henry.

459
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's Derek.

460
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 4: You can get one, right.

461
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 2: That's two thousand from Derek, probably another a him from Lamar,

462
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: you know, and then a few hundred more. You probably

463
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: gonna have thirty five hundred rushing yards, yeah, four thousand through.

464
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 4: The air, yeah exactly.

465
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: So so like.

466
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: So I really think it's going to be game by game.

467
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be so situational. Like one game you could

468
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: have the two hundred yard Derek Henry game. Another week

469
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 2: it could be the Save Flowers ten catches for one

470
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns to pick your poison,

471
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: then the pick your poison like next week it could

472
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: be the tight ends going off.

473
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: It could be one.

474
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: There's gonna be game like there's going to be games

475
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: where one of the tight ends is like one catch

476
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: for four yards and the other one is is eight

477
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: for seventy five in a touch and then it's flipped

478
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: the next week, like like all of those things are

479
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: likely going to happen. And I just think that it's

480
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: gonna be based on situations, riding the hot hand, taking

481
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: what's available to them, And.

482
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: And I think defensive personnel, what what kind of defense?

483
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: What kind of personnel they do they play heavy. They

484
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: play light, you know, if they're going out there in

485
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: a ton of nickel and you just want to say,

486
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna big boyball you.

487
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

488
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, like the Ravens are a chameleon. And yes,

489
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: they have their strengths and the things that they want

490
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: to do and dictate the game, but they also have

491
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: the benefit of having so many weapons is you can

492
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: be a chameleon and say, all right, what's the defense

493
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: want to do.

494
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna we're gonna pounce on that.

495
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: Yes, and they've Munkin has been really good.

496
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 2: At was it the Steelers game last year where there

497
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: was a drive they just ran it every single play? Yeah,

498
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: they just ran it every and and that's like something

499
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: that you say in your living room, like just keep

500
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: doing it till they stop it.

501
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: And like they did that and they didn't stop it.

502
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 2: And so the Ravens have that ability, and I think

503
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 2: they're going to be so multiple and changing from game

504
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: to game, even half by half in some of these situations.

505
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: If they see like something, if they find that something's working,

506
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: they'll just stick with it. So it's just talking about it,

507
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: like gets me excited to think about how good this

508
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: offense is going to be.

509
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: And the driver of any good offense, many football die

510
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: hards will tell you, is the offensive line. And that's

511
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: the other another unanswered question is does this offensive line

512
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: get better from last year? You lost Pat McCarey, who

513
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: was a unicorn that everybody loved here. He could play

514
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: all five positions and really kind of settled in it

515
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: left guard as your starter last year.

516
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: And Raven though clearly loved them. They give him a

517
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 3: nice contract, They.

518
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: Give him a big contract.

519
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

520
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: Now, the Ravens, you know, drafted in the third round

521
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: of what could ultimately become his replacement, but.

522
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: In Emery Jones.

523
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, But Emory Jones is dealing with the shoulder

524
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: injury as and practic yet we haven'teen him on the field.

525
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: So as of now, they really haven't added anybody to

526
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: replace him necessarily.

527
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 4: And so the question is, to.

528
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: My earlier point, how good is the guard play going

529
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: to be? And I think ken Ronnie Stanley run it

530
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: back like he did last year when he was healthy

531
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: all last year and returned to Pro.

532
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 4: Bowl form yep. And then those are the big questions

533
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: to me.

534
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: The other one I would add to it, like I

535
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 2: love what we saw from Roger roseen Garden last year.

536
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: He steps in at right tackle and just progress the

537
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: entire year was playing like shutting.

538
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: How much better does he get?

539
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: Like just says, can he continue to build all of that? Yes,

540
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: he pick up right where he left off when he

541
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: was shutting TJ. Watt down in the playoffs?

542
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: That's the question.

543
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: This is the second year and like there's going to

544
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: be more tape on him, and how do you respond

545
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 2: to that all those questions? Like that's that's something I

546
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: wonder about just with him going into his second season.

547
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: Although I love what I saw from him as a

548
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 2: rookie man.

549
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: He was awesome.

550
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think the guard play we cover that,

551
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: like how good is the guard play center? You know

552
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna be rock solid with Linderbaum And injuries are

553
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: always a question, like it's we talk about it more

554
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: with Ronnie because he's had that in his past. But

555
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: he showed last year like he was more than fully healthy,

556
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: and I just think that like Ronnie is he he

557
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: clearly wanted to stay here. He signed a contract here

558
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: before he even entered free agency because he wanted to

559
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: be here and continue building on what he's built here,

560
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: and so he's just a really motivated guy at this

561
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: stage of his career that badly wants to win a

562
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, wants to win a super Bowl with Lamar,

563
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 2: and so I think that I think he takes it

564
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: really seriously, like protecting being Lamar's protector as an offensive lineman,

565
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: that's something that matters a lot to him. And I

566
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: think that he's just going to operate. He's just going

567
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: to play at a high level, like, yeah, I feel

568
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: good about I feel good about this offensive line. I

569
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: think that this offensive line is going to be as

570
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: good as it was at the end of last season.

571
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: That's my expectation, and it could be even better than that.

572
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that will to some degree.

573
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: We're all excited about the weapons and and you know,

574
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: the receiver, tight end, running back, but to some degree,

575
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: and of course Lamar he knew he's gonna be awesome,

576
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, to some degree that the how good this

577
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: offense is will rest on the offensive line. Yeah, and

578
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: whether it can be better. I thought that by the

579
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: end of the year last year, especially like there were

580
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: some rocky points early on, you know, visions of Max

581
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: Crosby in my head, like you can't get those it's

582
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: those were tough to shake there for the early part

583
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: of the season. But by the end of the season,

584
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: like I thought, the offensive line was playing really well

585
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: and really middle to the end of the last season,

586
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: and so I think if it can continue to build

587
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 1: from there and and like, if the offensive line can

588
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: become a top five unit.

589
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 3: In that league, like then look out.

590
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

591
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean I honestly thought by the end of last year,

592
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: and I'd have to go back and look at the

593
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: PFF rankings and all that, I think they were top ten.

594
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 4: And if it can be like top five unit, well.

595
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, if the offensive line is a top five unit

596
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL, then like the scene is gonna put

597
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: up like thirty five points a game, just because that's

598
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: the other things are not really questioned. Again, you're assuming

599
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: health and all this stuff. But yeah, if the offensive

600
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: line can play at that level, I don't see a

601
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: scenario where the offense isn't insanely productive. And we're probably

602
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: talking about Lamar winning the MVP, Like that's probably the

603
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: conversation that we're having.

604
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 3: If the line is that.

605
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,479
Speaker 4: Good, yep, totally agree this a little bit.

606
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: Over the DEFENSEI I spent a lot of times talking offense.

607
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: On the defensive side, I think, I think this defense

608
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 2: is going to be good. This was another kind of

609
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 2: a little bit of a Jackal and Hyde unit last year.

610
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 2: Did not play well at the start of the season,

611
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: finished the season great, And so which one do you believe?

612
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: I tend to side on the second half of the

613
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: season because they made some changes personnel and scheme that

614
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: really fixed things. And so this secondary, the Raves have

615
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 2: made some big investments in it. They add ma Alchi

616
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: Starks the first round pick, they bring each I y

617
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: Alexander the downside of the secondaries, you lose our Darius

618
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: Washington to the injury. Brandon Stevens of course, also leaves

619
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: in free agency. So those are you know, those the departures.

620
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 2: But I think that there's no question the defense has

621
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: the pieces. I think what a question for the defense

622
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 2: of the secondary is like, can you be more productive?

623
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: From a takeaway standpoint?

624
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: Yep, I think I think it's like is it going

625
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: to be as good as it looks on paper? Because

626
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: on paper, you know, everybody's just this week, the Ravens

627
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: secondary is ranked number one league. Kyle Hamilton's ranked the

628
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: top safety in the in the league. You know, it's

629
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: rankings week. That's what this slow time of the year is.

630
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: So is it as good as it is on paper?

631
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: Like can Marlon Humphrey have the ball production that he

632
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: did last year? From a takeaways standpoint? Is he as

633
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: good as he was last year which was a really

634
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: resurgent year for Marlon Huphrey and the Nate Wiggins like

635
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: good rookie season kind of like Roger Rosengarten. Does he

636
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: build on that? Can Jayir Alexander stay healthy? Like you

637
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: know all those things? Like is Malachi Starks like you

638
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be his first round rookie in a

639
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: full time starting role. Is what it looks like? Like

640
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: how great is he immediately? Can he be an immediate

641
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: like sensation?

642
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: Yep?

643
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. And then to your point,

644
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: I think takeaways are definitely a focus of this team.

645
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: And there were only six teams in the.

646
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: League that had fewer takeaways than the Ravens last season.

647
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: That is a priority for them and one thing that

648
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: certainly was still that was one takeaway from the playoff

649
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: loss in Buffalo was look, yeah, the offense turned the

650
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: ball over three times. The other way to look at

651
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: that is the Bills defense took it away from three times,

652
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: and we didn't take it away from the Bills offense

653
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: any Yeah. And so the Ravens defense, when they're looking

654
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: in the mirror and pointing at themselves for their role

655
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: and that loss, that stinging playoff loss, that's what they

656
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: focused on. And so yeah, can they get more takeaways?

657
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: That's that's a big question going into training camp then

658
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: the season.

659
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: Well, Marlon Humphrey, he talked at Mini camp and like

660
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: that was his point. That was his as he looked

661
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 2: back on that game and he looks ahead to this season,

662
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: he just kept coming back to the turnover piece and

663
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: saying like, that's that's what he was left with, thinking like,

664
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: we didn't take the ball away. If we're going to

665
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: be a great defense, we need.

666
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: To take the ball away. Yep.

667
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: And I go back to when we sat down with

668
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: Nate Wiggins, what's your goal for the year ten plus takeaways?

669
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: Oh?

670
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Like that's big, that's lofty, But those are the

671
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: things that are I'm hearing coming from the secondary.

672
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: If judging by Mini camp and Mini camp, the secondary

673
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: was getting the ball a lot. So that was a

674
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: good indication, Like you want to see that to a degree,

675
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: you don't really want to see the offense turn it over.

676
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah stuff in practice, like what are we rotten for here?

677
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 4: Exactly? But like part of me is going to be

678
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 4: rooting for that.

679
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: You know, when it's the starting defense against the backup offense.

680
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 4: I'm okay, yeah, I'm okay.

681
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: Takeaways and so like, yeah, you want to see that

682
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: that momentum continue for this defense and really kind of

683
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: get that mentality of like, yeah, we're we're gonna we're

684
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: playing offense on defense.

685
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: Well you talk about like mentality again, going back to

686
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: Marlin when he first got here, he made the point like.

687
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: We were it was.

688
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: It's still had that the remnants of like the old

689
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: school Ravens defense.

690
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: It's a defensive where you're not counting on the offense

691
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: scoring much and you're like, we got we got to

692
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: take it away and score.

693
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: Like for the first like fifteen years of this franchise,

694
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: for twenty years of this franchise history, it was like

695
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: this is a defensive show. Yes, it's it's Ray Lewis,

696
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: it's at Reed, it's Holading, not it's Drell Suggs. Like

697
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: iconic defensive players who are really the leaders of the

698
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: team and and are the best players on the field,

699
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: and so like they really were the that was the

700
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: dominant story of this team and now it's it's flipped

701
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 2: like Lamar Jackson is is one of, if not the

702
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: best player in football, and this offense is high flying,

703
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: is the best offense we've ever seen here in Baltimore.

704
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: And Marlin's point was like that's great, Like I love that,

705
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: it's awesome having them on the other side, but I

706
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: also don't want us to kind of be left behind here.

707
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: Like on this defense, his priority as one of the

708
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: defensive leaders of this team is to get this defense

709
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: playing at a level that he was kind of accustomed

710
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: to when he first came in when this is like

711
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: a feared defensive team that nobody wants to see the

712
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: Ravens defense. And that's what he and other guys on

713
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: this defense are trying to work towards to get this

714
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: defense to that point.

715
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: And honestly, part of it is the communication aspect, like

716
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: talking more nuts and bolts a little bit of like

717
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: what will be done in training camp is they got

718
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: to get on the same page from a communication standpoint.

719
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: You have a first round rookie out there and Malachi

720
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: Starks that you know, Kyle Hamilton had some missed assignments

721
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: when he first stepped onto the field as a rookie, Like.

722
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: They got to work that out.

723
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: You have Jaiyira Alexander who's we all project to step

724
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: into a starting role even behind him uh Ouzier. Yeah,

725
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, Cheeto, Like that's another new piece in the secondary.

726
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: So like you have things to work, you have some

727
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: new piece in that secondary. You have new secondary coach

728
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: in Chuck Pugano, So like you gotta get all on

729
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: the same page and make sure that you're not having

730
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: those breaks. Tons of talents, but you can't have the breakdowns.

731
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: And so that's part of the mission and training camp.

732
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like I think that this secondary

733
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: they've they've figured enough out last year and like Chuck

734
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: Pagano is such a great coach that like I just

735
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: think that it's they're going it's gonna work.

736
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: Well.

737
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: The question are the takeaway thing is what I keep

738
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: coming back to because like I think the communication piece

739
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be fine, the takeaway piece is less predictable,

740
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: Like that's for sure, Takeaways could be fluky and like

741
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: it's not all luck, but there's an element of luck.

742
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: And so like that's the thing that I is an

743
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: unknown to me, Like, are you gonna be able to

744
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: deliver on this takeaways goal that you really have?

745
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: I would agree with that, all right.

746
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Last one that we have here on our list is well,

747
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens be better on special teams than they were

748
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: last season. And obviously we talked about kicker and you know,

749
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: now Justin Tucker had his misses last year that were painful.

750
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: Can the Ravens kicking situation be you know, better than

751
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: it was last year?

752
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 4: Maybe?

753
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: Right?

754
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: Right?

755
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was his worst season and you know that

756
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: that hurt the Ravens in some of those games. Yeah,

757
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: for sure, That's definitely something that I think the Ravens

758
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: are looking to improve.

759
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Right, The Ravens are looking to get better, yeah at

760
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: that spot. Yeah, And beyond that, it's also the return

761
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: game in the coverage game. You know, I think that

762
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: last year the Ravens have a very very high bar

763
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: for their special teams unit, and John Harball, with his

764
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: special teams background, I think really kind of set that

765
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: bar high when he first took this job way back

766
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: when in two thousand and eight, and the bar remains high.

767
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: And I don't think that people would probably in this

768
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: building would probably say that they lived up to that

769
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: bar last season. It just you weren't winning games on

770
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: special teams. And uh, I think that they want to

771
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: be more dynamic in the return game for sure. That's

772
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: part of the reason that they drafted le Jonte Western

773
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: in the sixth round to kind of be an impact

774
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: punt returner. Can you get more even on kickoff returns?

775
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: You know when you have the opportunity with Keaton and

776
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: Justice and those guys like can you cover better? And

777
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: all those things? Like you just I think the Ravens

778
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: And then answered question is are they going to be

779
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: better on special teams? You know, you lost some veterans

780
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 1: special teams players, you know, like a Chris Board, Malik Harrison,

781
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: those guys departed. You'd signed Jay Hummell, who's kind of

782
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: a special team's ace, an inside linebacker.

783
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 4: Are you better or worse than you were on special teams?

784
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

785
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: I think a lot of this comes down to, like

786
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: some of those young guys who we mentioned in backup

787
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: roles or competing for roles. Teddy you can are you

788
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: ready to come in and make an impact on special teams.

789
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: How about the safeties, Bo Braids, Sanusi Kane, those guys

790
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: they're whether they are playing much at all on defense,

791
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: they're gonna be playing on special teams. So, like you

792
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: you need to see those young players. I think basically

793
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: it's like take ownership and uh, just perform at a

794
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: high level on special teams. Like that's kind of what

795
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: it comes down to that the Ravens have always had

796
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: this high bar. Like you mentioned, they've also had some

797
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 2: key guys that have been like leaders of those units

798
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: when you go through the years, like Albert McClellan, Anthony

799
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: Levine was that way, Chris he is back in the building.

800
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 2: Like there's there's been examples of that all throughout John

801
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: Harbaugh saying, yeah, exactly, going back a ways, like of

802
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: these good veterans special teams aces and you are kind

803
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 2: of looking for the next generation of of those guys.

804
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 2: Tylan Wallace has kind of been that type of a player.

805
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: He's had some you know, big players even in the

806
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: return game. But like those are the types of players

807
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 2: that you're you're looking forward to really emerge on special teams.

808
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: And we'll see if some of these young guys are

809
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: able to do it.

810
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: Yep.

811
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to take a break and

812
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: when we come back. It's been a while, been a

813
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: minute since we had a draft. We're gonna have a

814
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: fruit draft. Right. It's summer, it's hot, this is the

815
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: time of the year to be just pounding some fruit.

816
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: And so we have our big boards ready and we're

817
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 4: ready to draft.

818
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Lounge podcast. We are coming to

Speaker 2: Here we have I think we have fourteen fruits that

825
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: are listed here.

826
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 3: Correct, You got to go through, you run through, you

827
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 3: go through. So you want me to just start telling

828
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 3: you my be here, Go.

829
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 4: Ahead, sir, from the top.

830
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we'll go the items that the fruits

831
00:36:49,320 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: that are listed here. Raspberry, peach, orange, cherry, watermelon, blueberry, strawberry, grape, banana, pineapple, pear, mango, kiwi.

832
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: All right, so I know you have raspberry. You said

833
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: that first. That's in the middle of your list. You

834
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: started in the middle and started jumping around. Okay, all right,

835
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: so there's your list. There is the list. We'll do

836
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: rock paper Scissors and then we'll do a snake draft.

837
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: We typically just we go a traditional draft, but we've

838
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: realized over the course of these drafts that if you

839
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: don't win rock paper Scissors, you're basically out of it.

840
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: And I'm like a historic disadvantage. It puts too much

841
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: weight on the rock paper scisters.

842
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that you were in favor of making this

843
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: transition because I have been a historically bad rock paper

844
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: scissors player. Yeah, and it's basically cost me some of

845
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: these drafts.

846
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: No, no, you cost yourself some of those drafts. But yeah,

847
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: the rock paper scisors didn't help. But it's all about rock.

848
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: But last one, the.

849
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: Last one, you won rock paper sitis. So that's why

850
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm changing it out.

851
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then that was a blowout.

852
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 4: All right, Ready, rock paper says, sure, ah here I

853
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: got it.

854
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: I won. So we're going to go back to the

855
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: traditional drafting. All right.

856
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: So first pick, I'm gonna go with the fruit that

857
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: is works in all situations, and it is the lifeblood

858
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 2: of all fruit.

859
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 3: I'm going with the banana.

860
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow, I have one every day.

861
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: I eat a banana every day.

862
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 4: Do you really?

863
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: Pretty much? You must never cramp up, yeah, never cramp,

864
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: never cramp.

865
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing about him.

866
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about a banana. I think, Hey, that's

867
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: a horrible pick. Okay, banana split.

868
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: You can have it for dessert, you can have it

869
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: for breakfast, you can have it prevent cramping.

870
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: I agree, it's great.

871
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: And a banana split banana is really a carrier, a

872
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: conduit of other things, right, Like just a plain banana

873
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: not very good.

874
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 4: It's just it's just not a very like tasty. You

875
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 4: don't ever eat a nana.

876
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: You're like, m man, this is a delicious banana. No,

877
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: but you put some peanut butter on it. Now, you

878
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: know me and the peanut butter. Peanut butter down here,

879
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: you're selling my shirt like but alone. See, you can't

880
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: add anything to these. This is just the fruit.

881
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: It's also the most versatile too, because again you can

882
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 2: have it for assert, you can have it for breakfast,

883
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: you can have it as a snack.

884
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: You took it too high, so clear number one to

885
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: get way too high Way too high.

886
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: I know you're gonna screw this up.

887
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: Okay, number two, I'm going pure. We're just fresh off

888
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: fourth of July pure Americana. You talk about versatility apple, I'm.

889
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 3: Going home now.

890
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 4: It's hard to hell, it's hard to have a bad apple.

891
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 4: Like like, all the apples are good.

892
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: No, they stay fresh for a long time, like you

893
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: I have had. I probably have apples from two years

894
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: ago buried in the back of the fridge. I'll go

895
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: home and eat one right now.

896
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 2: That's your point that they were so good they wouldn't

897
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: be buried in the back of the fridge for two years.

898
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 4: You're making my point similar to a banana.

899
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: Great with peanut butter oh, that is you can take

900
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: them on the go there they won't get there. The

901
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: best case they peple pie, apple pie.

902
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: It doesn't get better than apple.

903
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: But the case that you've made for the apple is

904
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: that it's similar to the banana. That's like their best

905
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: argument better but like and there's a wide variety.

906
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 4: How many different fasting bananas are there?

907
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: There's the only great one, only great apple, great apple.

Speaker 1: All right, you look, if you don't like apple at

916
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,800

00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: I've got the banana, and I've got the strawberry. I've

922

Speaker 4: Strawberry solid.

924
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you should have taken strawberry with your

925
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: first pick. That was your mistake there, because again it

926
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: can w Apple is better than strawberry. It can work

927
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,200

00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 3: I'll go with. Yeah, I baited you. I baited you

945
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 3: into the pick.

946
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 4: No, you're reeling now, you are reeling.

947
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 2: Now here I go with the superfood and it is

948
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: the blueberry.

949
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that is a massive reach.

950
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: That's a massive reach. Blueberry super thumbs down from it.

951
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: From that, it's a make your case and then I'll

00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 4: All right, you're so, you're done, so you have no

955
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 4: case four blueberries. You'll just let me launch against blueberries.

956
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: The case against blueberries is you have to eat like

957
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: thirty of them. You have to take a handful to

958
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: even taste them. What are you popping one blueberry at

959
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: a time.

960
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: Oh, you're popping like three at a time.

961
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 4: No, three at a time. That's not enough. I have

962
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 4: to take a whole handful.

963
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: No, yes, no, they're just so small you have to eat.

964
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 4: I got a bunch of them at the same time.

965
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 3: And blueberries are you even getting here?

966
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 4: They're all small? What kind of giant blueberries? They're all small.

967
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: Hand They're not really good by themselves. Like, who's just

968
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: eating blueberries?

969
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 4: Anybody? If you want to, if we want to put

970
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 4: them in a fruit salad.

971
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: Sure, blueberry pancakes are good, they're great, right, But like you,

972
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: blueberries by themselves terrible.

973
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 4: Here's got a tenth on my big board.

974
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 3: No, all right, and now you blue that?

975
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: No, I know, I get to make another pick, and

976
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go with the perfect compliment. I'm also

977
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 2: gonna take the raspberry. I'm gonna take the blueberry.

978
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 3: And the raspberry. Shut on those two.

979
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: That's another reach those And you know why raspberries are

980
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: reached there? Raspberries a they fall apart. They get squashed

981
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: so easily. You can't bring them anywhere.

982
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 4: They get squashed.

983
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: They also go bad. Like I buy raspberries, If I

984
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: don't eat them that day, next day, they're bad.

985
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 4: You need wait.

986
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: The shelf life on raspberries is minuscule. Do you like

987
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: as minuscule as your blueberries?

988
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 3: Do you even like fruit?

989
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: Because all you keep talking about a shelf life you

990
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: like apples because they last forever in the back of

991
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: your fridge.

992
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 4: Fruit don't very finnick.

993
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 3: You don't like raspberries because they go bad immediately.

994
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 4: Do you even eat fruit?

995
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: I do? I do, But you have to eat it

996
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: at the right time, don't you have apple? The calendar's

997
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: wide open? Raspberries like, it's such a small window.

998
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: Let's you know it's good though, because it's a tight window.

999
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm not arguing on the shelf life. I'm not gonna

1000
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 2: put raspberries in the back of the fridge for two

1001
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: years and come.

1002
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 3: Back to them.

1003
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: Oh but but they're excellent, and so you need to

1004
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 2: eat them at the right time. And when you have

1005
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: them at the right time, they're perfect.

1006
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: I will say a good raspberry at the right time

1007
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: is divine.

1008
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 4: It's it's great. But that is such a small window,

1009
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 4: like it's really hard.

1010
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,160

Speaker 2: is quality, it's nutritious, vitamin C. You can make a perfect,

1097
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 2: perfect orange juice, like it is exactly what you need.

1098
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 3: I just make orange juice.

1099
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 4: Is the only argument you have here. That's a big one.

1100
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: That's the only big orange juice.

1101
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: Mango juice is better than orange juice by far. No, yay,

1102
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: you can straight mango juice versus oranges.

1103
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 4: Straight up?

1104
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: Who draces straight mango juice? It's delicious.

1105
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 3: That's the last time you had a mango juice? You

1106
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 3: go to the store, you go.

1107
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 4: You know it's good. You know it's fire. You know

1108
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 4: it's fire. Is the mango orange combo that actually is

1109
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 4: pretty nice?

1110
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's nice. But where's last time you had.

1111
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 4: A mango upgrades orange? Because the mango orange.

1112
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: Can't even answer the question love mango juice never but

1113
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 2: theory theory it could be good.

1114
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: Look, look, look, orange juice is the only thing that's

1115
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: going for the orange.

1116
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 4: But what do you what are you gonna make your

1117
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 4: own orange juice of picnic. You squeeze them all.

1118
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Out, the good lucks you got the juice.

1119
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 4: Your hands are so s you can't stick thems.

1120
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 3: Back to the mechanics here, yes.

1121
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: Like, hey, they get you so sticky. That's what's the

1122
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: downside of an orange. They get your hands to stick.

1123
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: All you hear about is like storage and like the

1124
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: process of cutting it.

1125
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 4: And flavor, which you don't care about. Mister watermelon. All right?

1126
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,080

Speaker 3: Yeah, you get into it.

1129
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 4: You make your mom's orange slices? Is that what made

00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:39,520

Speaker 1: Next, and I can't, I honestly can't believe I got

1135
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,800

Speaker 4: Pineapple and peach?

1141
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 3: You want to talk about? Hard to go?

1142
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 1: Going back to back pineapple peach in that this spot

1143
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,479
Speaker 1: is a late round pick is ridiculously good. Talk about

1144
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: just the two delicious fruits. Pineapple actually is like Overratedly

1145
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: people think it's harder to cut than it really is.

1146
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: It's actually not that hard.

1147
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, for a guy that only cares about like how

1148
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: you're opening up the fruit, Like pineapple is not like

1149
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 2: an easy.

1150
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: Jump, I'd say it's easier than watermelon, Brayson, I'd say

1151
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: pineapple is easier cut than watermelon.

1152
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: At at you don't think at a minimum, They're like,

1153
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 2: best case for you is a break even.

1154
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: But pineapple a is just as refreshing as watermelon, and

1155
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: it tastes one hundred times better, no death, and it's

1156
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: so versatile. Put it in smoothies, like put it in

1157
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: your drink, like your alcoholic beverages.

1158
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 3: You know you want a peanut colatta, so good.

1159
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: So good, strawberry pineapple, oh my god, oh man, I'm

1160
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: crushing you. And then a peach, like if we're talking,

1161
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: like you hit a peach at the right time, like

1162
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: and it's got a bigger window than raspberries, for sure. Peach,

1163
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: a really good ripe peach at the right time is

1164
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: right up there with mango.

1165
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 4: Is the best tasting fruit on this menu.

1166
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: Your biggest You're you basically draft on shelf life and

1167
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,160

00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: You want a long shelf life, which narrow window peach peach.

1170
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: Peaches aren't terrible bringing home from the farmer's. You're in

1171
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack.

1172
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 4: I'd say beaches are delicious.

1173
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 2: All right, I've got back to back here and I'm

1174

1204
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,400

Speaker 1: Like I am a.

1207
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 4: Global man, right well traveled like a kiwi. It gets

1208
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 4: a little very much heat because how about hair.

1209
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: Where have you ever had I've ever had a kiwi internationally?

1210
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 2: You're actually like you've gone on the world's tour searching

1211
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 2: for the best kiwi the grocery store.

1212
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,520

Speaker 1: kiwi actually is really refreshing and nice.

1216
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,399

00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: you know, what it was my last pick. I got

1218

Speaker 2: stuck with Kiwi. But like, I'm okay with that. That

1219
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: would be a better argument than whatever world travel. You

00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 2: know what Dollaridge you're trying.

1221

Speaker 1: use one of those spoons that have like the little point.

1224

00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: They're just kind of a little twisted knife. You get

1228
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,719

1238
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: The only one in my top seven I didn't get

1239
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,800

Speaker 3: Banana? Is I stand pop over all? That's not.

1243
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,640

Speaker 2: No, I don't need banana. That is a that is

1247
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 2: an absolute runaway victory for me.

1248
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:15,760
