1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. We just heard

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: from New Raven's offensive coordinator Todd Munkin in his introductory

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: press conference, and we're here to kind of give you

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: our thoughts our takeaways from that. First of all, I'll

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: kick it off here, Garrett. I thought he came off

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: really well. I thought that, you know, he's you can

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: definitely see that he's got a fun personality and you

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: can see why players have talked about how they like

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: playing for him, and people around that program involved and

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: saying you're gonna really like Todd Munkin. You know, he's

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: a fun guy to be around, fun of meetings and

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: obviously knows a lot of ball and just kind of

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: that folksy personality, storytelling and stuff I think is going

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: to endear him to players and endear him to fans. Yeah,

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: I was impressed. I had a chance to talk with

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: him before the press conference and sit down for an

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: interview with him, just chit chat a little bit, and

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: I think that he's really fired up to be here,

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: first of all. Yeah, and also I think that he's

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: somebody who you got glimpses of his vision for offense,

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: and he I thought he was fairly open in his comments,

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: both in the interview that I do with him and

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: also in the press conference about what he wants the

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: offense to be and what that that will look like.

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not pulling up the tape and you know,

26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: drawn on a whiteboard about what the type of system

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna run. But I thought that you

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: got some real indications and listening to him and then yeah,

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: like personality wise, he's entertaining. I think by the end

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: of his press conference like he was just telling stories.

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: It felt like at the end and we might still

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: be there, um if we didn't cut him off. Yeah,

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: but uh it was. I thought it was really enjoyable.

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: And um, I think that he is somebody Like I've

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: said this before, but like in everything that I've heard

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: from players who have been around him, analysts, you know,

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: we did the podcast with Ben Watson, who knows him

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, it's all positive in terms of like

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: his communication with players and how he interacts with players.

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: So I think that the Ravens players were really like

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: being around him, and I think the fans will will

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: like what he does on the field and hearing from

43
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: him every week right. Obviously large part of this press

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: conference you knew was going to send around Lamar Jackson,

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: of course, the biggest talking point in sports. Yeah, and uh,

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, Todd said that he hasn't spoken to Lamar

47
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: or any other players at this point, but you could

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: tell that, you know, how excited he is at the

49
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: prospect of working with Lamar Jackson. You know, said he

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: has a quote elite skill set and that he feels

51
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: like he's been an underrated passer, you know, and that

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of the narrative that's been around Lamar for

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, since he was in the draft, you know,

54
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: is how well can this guy pass? And Todd's like,

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, when I watched the film, I see a

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: really good passer, you know, And so you could definitely

57
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: see also in the way that he talked about how offenses.

58
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Offense has evolved in football less from a statue like

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: you when you play football in the backyard statue and

60
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: more to a you know, generally speaking, shorter, more athletic

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: quarterback who stresses defenses in different ways. And he talked

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: a lot about you know, needing space players to create

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: space horizontally and vertically on the football field and make

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: sure that you're using the entire football field, and a

65
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback like Lamar Jackson helps you do that. Yeah,

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Like I think if he were drawing up, like and

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: listening to him, like, if you're drawing up, okay, you

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: want to deal player right and every position? What do

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you what do you want a quarterback? It's somebody that

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: they can throw the ball to all areas of the field,

71
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: yep um. And who also can play in a no

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: huddle more spread type system. Who can be who can

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: improvise right and make plays with his legs? Yeah? Who

74
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: does that sound like? Exactly? Yeah, that's that's Lamar Jackson

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: right there. Like elite art and talent can stress the

76
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: defense with his legs can Yeah, that's Lamar. Yeah. And

77
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: so I think that's I think that's a good point.

78
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: You know, he said, of course, you're not going to

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: ever turn down Tom Brady, but like there's different ways

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: to play the game. Different way as the skin of

81
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: a cat. But like that's kind of how he sees

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: offense these days, is like it's a space game and

83
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson stresses you in so many different ways and

84
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: creates space for other players and all that you just

85
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: said it about five times and he said it, you know,

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: just as much as that, if not more. During his

87
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: press commence day, the space was a word. Yeah, they

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: kept coming up like that was the name of the game,

89
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: like one word that like stood out to me and

90
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: listening to him with space, and like, what I think

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: he means by that is that you want to get

92
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 1: your skill position players and your quarterback in opportunities where

93
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: they have room to work. And you know, when he

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: talked about balance and so much of the conversation around

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: balance is run pass You just look, all right, you

96
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: got twenty runs and forty passage. That's not balanced or whatever.

97
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: And he said that balance in his mind is attacking

98
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: all areas of the field. How do you how you

99
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: attack every area of the field. And you know, as

100
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about this, it sounds like, Okay, they're going

101
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: to run it more spread out, and I do think

102
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: they will spread it out more in comparison to recent years.

103
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: But also fundamentally he still believes in the importance of

104
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: running the fo ball, Like that's not I also think

105
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: that's important to note here. But you just said a

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: lot more in your one on one than he did

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: at the press conference. Yeah, about the importance of running

108
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, like all starts kind of it all

109
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: kind of starts there. Yeah. Yeah. So it's I think

110
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: that like you want to marry those two things. You

111
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: want to have this great running game and you want

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: to be able to get the ball to your playmakers

113
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: where they have room to make something happen. But you

114
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: all but those things, those things work together. They're not

115
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: in contention with each other. Right. To me, it was

116
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: it's less about the volume of passes, and it's more

117
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: about making sure that your playmakers know when it's that

118
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: that things are kind of building up to their chances.

119
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: And I that was one thing and you're one on

120
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: one with him that I took away was he was

121
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of there's been a lot of talk about Baltimore

122
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: and d wide receivers want to play here and all

123
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: that stuff, and like our wide receivers unhappy playing here, right,

124
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Marky's Brown requested a trade, right, And and

125
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: I think he kind of spoke to you you need

126
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: your play what he's saying reading between lines us, you

127
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: need your playmakers to know that they're gonna get their shots.

128
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: They all want the ball, they all want to make

129
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: their plays and he loves that. You know, even when

130
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: he was talking about Odell Beckham, he talks about that

131
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: and like you need they need to know that, yes,

132
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our shots to you and we need

133
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: you to deliver in those moments. Those are those are

134
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: we're building to that, you know what I mean, Like

135
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: you're not out there to be a blocker. We know

136
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: that blocking is part of the game. And you know

137
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: we've been hearing about why there evens wide receivers over

138
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: the last few years. You know well that you know

139
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: they're blocking. They're blocking there blocking. Those guys don't want

140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: to hear that, you know what I mean, Like, they

141
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: want to make plays, and I think it's important to

142
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: stress in his vision is like to make them feel

143
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: like in order for us to be the offense, we

144
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: want to be sure we want to run the ball.

145
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: It just starts there. But like we gotta take our shots.

146
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: We gotta stress all aspects of the field. And you

147
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: are the space players. You're the space players that are

148
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: the essential part of this offense. And we're gonna need

149
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: you to make those places and you're gonna get your

150
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: opportunities right. Yeah, you know totally. Yeah, I think all

151
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: so just another point on the space front. It is

152
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: like it seems like the other thing he mentioned to me,

153
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: uh in the presser that stood out to me is

154
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: he did mention no huddle on a few different occasions.

155
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: And it seems like that and a whole lot of that,

156
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: especially last year. Yeah, like the Ravens under Greg Roman

157
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: traditionally were a huddle up team. UM runs slower, you

158
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: know they you know, I know that it was something

159
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: that drove a lot of fans crazy and getting to

160
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: play in you know, late and snapping it with the

161
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: second or less on the play clock, and you know,

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: they could be running more of a no huddle type

163
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: system potentially, right, um and or at least have that

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: be a larger piece of the equation than it has.

165
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: We're not turned into Chip Kelly's offense here, right right, Like, Yeah,

166
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: it seems like no huddle could be more of it

167
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: could be a much larger piece of the equation exactly. Um.

168
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: And And that's another way to like stress defense. It's

169
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: like there's just a lot of like this is gonna

170
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: be a big change. Yeah, I mean I think my

171
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: big takeaway for me was like that he plans to

172
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, modernize the Ravens offense.

173
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, like the Ravens offense we all know kind

174
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: of ran counter to the n the rest of the NFL, right,

175
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: the very run, heavy, heavy formations, three hundred pound fullback,

176
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, like we were, you know, the counterculture offense,

177
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: and uh, and I don't think it's going to be

178
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: that way as much anymore. You know, that doesn't mean

179
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: that the Ravens are going to turn into you know,

180
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: three wide, four wide all the time, just like you know,

181
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: stretch it out and heavy wide receiver formations. I don't

182
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: know that's that's not really the personnel at least as

183
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: it stands now, right, But I think that the concepts uh,

184
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: probably more of those packages or similar It's going to

185
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: be less so run heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, physical, physical fullback,

186
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: bash you in the face, you know, that kind of offense,

187
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: and more with the times of the way that the

188
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: game has evolved. That's what I see. Yeah, And he

189
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: was asked a question about this concept, and it's not

190
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: it's it's not fair to say, like, oh, monk, it's

191
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: a college guy who's now just he was he was

192
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: in college the last few years. But he's been in

193
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: college and the pros throughout his career. You know, he

194
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't call him a college coach. He's not a

195
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: college coach. He's just bringing college ideas to the NFL.

196
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's done it at both levels. Yeah, been

197
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: in He's been coaching for thirty four years, so he's

198
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: done a little bit of everything. Um. But but he

199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: basically this this concept of things working their way up

200
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: from the college level to the pro level is something

201
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: that people have talked about for years. And I think

202
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: that there is an element of that that will take place.

203
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: And part of that is like the no huddle stuff, right, um,

204
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: and that will that will be you know, I think

205
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: a component of what he brings. So I thought it

206
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: was kind of interesting to the you know, he mentioned

207
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: he was asked at the end about the pressure of

208
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: the job. Yeah, you know, and I thought it was

209
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. He said, you know, yeah, Georgia, you

210
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: have like some of the best players or whatever, but

211
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: you can only lose two games all year? Max? Yeah, Max,

212
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: He's you know, that's pressure, right. And I also have

213
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: been thinking about this in recent days. It's like, you know,

214
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk about that, and certainly

215
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: it's fair to say he had great talent at Georgia,

216
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: although you know, he didn't have that premier wide receiver,

217
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: one that's gonna be picked in the top ten. He

218
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a J Green right playing for him though,

219
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: But like, you know, who's going against was SEC defenses. Yeah,

220
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: also right, Like those defenses had some of the best

221
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: players in the country, also in the best conference college

222
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: football conference in the country, and he was hanging forty

223
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: a game yep, on average. You know, it wasn't like

224
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: he's you know, it wasn't like the Citadel offense that

225
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: leads the league in scoring. You know, who are they playing? Yeah,

226
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: this is the SEC and he's hanging forty up a game.

227
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: So like, I just think that it was kind of

228
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: interesting to hear him talk about the pressure of Georgia

229
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: and he rose to that occasion and he realizes, hey,

230
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, I know what I'm stepping into here in Baltimore.

231
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: And credit for him too. You know, he was kind

232
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: of asked about the fan base. He said, I hope

233
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: the fan base won complained in twenty nineteen when the

234
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: offense was awesome. Yeah, you know, he's like, but sure,

235
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't been as awesome in the past, you know,

236
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: a few years. And I know I'm gonna have to score.

237
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to score touchdowns, to score a lot

238
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: of points for fans to be happy. I know that's

239
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: he's comfortable in his own skin. Yeah. So like I

240
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 1: think that that came across and his presser, and I

241
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: think that will come across when he gets with players,

242
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, when the players come back here a couple

243
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: of months. Very real, Like he's he's authentic, he's comfortable

244
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: in his own skin. He's he's done this at multiple

245
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: different levels. And like, going back to the the Georgia comparison,

246
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of interesting. Like Georgia their

247
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: their head coach is Kirby Smart, who is a defensive coach.

248
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: And there, I mean, Georgia the expectation, as he said,

249
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: they're they're winning just about every game, if might every game,

250
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: and they're competing for national championships and they're competing for

251
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: um SEC championships. You know, but when he got there,

252
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: it was really a defensive team. Like this was a

253
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: defensive minded team with the defensive minded head coach and basically,

254
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: we need to get the offense to a level that

255
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: is adequate well to win championships, the elefense has to

256
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: be better, basically. Yeah, And it was more than better,

257
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, it was great during his time there, and

258
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: so there's some parallels. You know, the Ravens defense last

259
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: year at the end of the season was one of

260
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: the best, if not maybe the best in the league

261
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: after the Roquan Smith trade and the expectation, I think

262
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: with all the pieces that they have coming back on

263
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: that defensive side, which is you know, not necessarily everybody,

264
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: but a lot a lot of the key pieces, that

265
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be really good. And he

266
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: actually said, like when he's going through this process, and

267
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: of course Georgia wants him back, and Tampa Bay reportedly

268
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: wanted him, you know as well. And he's surveying the

269
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: opportunities that are that are out there for him, and

270
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: he's looking at this defense, he's looking at this organization

271
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: which is kind of a model of stability with John

272
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and Ozzie News him and Eric Acosta, and he's saying,

273
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: you know what, like this this is a really good fit.

274
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: And so it's just kind of you don't often hear

275
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: and say that the offensive corder talking about a defense, right,

276
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: the defense is why I came. Yeah exactly, but that

277
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: was like one of the first things that he mentioned,

278
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: and I thought that was a pretty telling answer. Yeah, well,

279
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean I think that it's a position that anybody would,

280
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, who wants to challenge themselves, wants to be

281
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: in right. They're basically like, if we get the offense right,

282
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: if we can make the offense humming here, we're gonna

283
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl and it's on me to get

284
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: it right. So I'm the key to winning the super Bowl,

285
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, like bull that's very simplistic and boiled down,

286
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: but like anybody would want to be in that position

287
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: if you feel like if I do my job, which

288
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: I have confidence myself to do my job well, and

289
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: get this offense really humming, then we're gonna be unstoppable.

290
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna win it all. Like yeah, sign me up. Yeah,

291
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I think you could sell. I think

292
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: I think you could tell the confidence that he has,

293
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: which you would expect. You know, you don't want like

294
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: this offensive corder to come in here and be like,

295
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: I hope it, I'll screw it up. You know, like

296
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: he's confident and he feels like that he's going to

297
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: be able to implement some things here, you know, to

298
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: be just like he did at George. You know, it

299
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: worked out to perfection there, right, and is going to

300
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: work out the perfection to that level like that would

301
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: be hard to replicate, but that's the idea, that's the hope,

302
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: and I think that you could probably get a level

303
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: of that. One thing I want to mention is we're

304
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: talking about the press conference. I think we should also

305
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: mention the new podcast feed for sure, that we have

306
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Ravens Press Pass, which just launched, and there's going to

326
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: a five star press It wasn't. It wasn't five star.

327
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: I always love you know, this is the time, this

328
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: is press conference season. You know, there's new coaches, head coaches, coordinators,

329
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, gms like, you know, how do people handle

330
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: the press conference? Right? And Todd Munkin passed the press conference?

331
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I would agree, five star press conference. Yes. Um. So

332
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: just a couple of little other tidbits that I thought

333
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: we should bring up here. Interesting that Joanie John Harball's

334
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: sister was the first one that suggested that he talked

335
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: to Todd Munkin. Yeah, uh so a little little family

336
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: connection there. Um. But just on that, like it's this

337
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: is not someone who John's known for twenty five years,

338
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: right exactly. You know, like Greg Rome was somebody even

339
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: before he was the head coach or the office coordinator here.

340
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: They had a really as ship. You know, Greg worked

341
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: with his brother, Um, and that's been the case for

342
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: a handful of people. You know. He went, he knew

343
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: Weake Martindale for a long time, and Michaeldonald had been

344
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: here before he came back, right, so like but but

345
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Todd Munkin like he was outside of the coaching tree

346
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: so to speak, right, um, and so you know, of

347
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: course he knew of him, um competed against him. But

348
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was you know, it's kind of an

349
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: interesting Um, it's an interesting note. And then the other

350
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: thing I thought, uh, you know, no real headline coming

351
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: out of this. But Todd Munkin said, you know, his

352
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: staff is still being put together, so nothing to announce

353
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: right now on that. But you know he's still working

354
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: out who all is going to be on his staff.

355
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah it. You know, I guess the final thoughts that

356
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: I have, you know, from a press conference standpoint, is

357
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: like it is clear to me in talking with him

358
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: that like he wants he's got these visions in space

359
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: and all that hut no huddle, but like at the

360
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, building the offense around the players

361
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: is like still a is a very key component of

362
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: who he is as a coach. He talked about the

363
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: two tight ends, like the two tight end system they

364
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: ran at Georgia and there's a lot of buzz, a

365
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: lot of twelve personnels, so they could use the tight

366
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: ends and they feature the tight ends, and he's like, well,

367
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: those are two of our best players, so we just

368
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: put the best players on the field. Slack. Guys were

369
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: pissed off about it, but that kind of funny. It

370
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And

371
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he didn't really take the job

372
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: because of the personnel necessarily, you know what I mean,

373
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: It was because of the things that we talked about,

374
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: and so as as it remains to be seen exactly

375
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: what the personnel is, you know, that will I think

376
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: dictating part what that offense is. We don't really know

377
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: yet what the offense will because we don't know exactly

378
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: what all the personnel will be. Yeah, they're gonna upgrade

379
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room and all that stuff, you know,

380
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting. You know, he did talk about

381
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: the tight ends and he believes they present tight end

382
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, matchup issues. And he talked about Mark Andrews

383
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: and kind of recruiting him in high school. Yeah, and

384
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: how phenomenal he thinks he's going to be. But I

385
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of clear that, like he just

386
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: hasn't kind of gotten there to the personnels part of

387
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: the job yet and breaking down what all those guys

388
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: do well and factoring that into shaving his offense quite yet,

389
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: Like he's still in what's my staff gonna be? Mode?

390
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: And so but I completely agree with you. You know,

391
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: he made it clear that there's a lot of different

392
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: ways to play offense, Like I'm not married to one philosophy.

393
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: He has this vision of that how he thinks the

394
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: game has evolved, and I think he has evolved his

395
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: ideas with that. You know, he's not trying to run

396
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: against that, but like how that looks in the end

397
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. Yeah, totally. So we're gonna take

398
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: a quick break and when we come back, we'll give

399
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: you some thoughts about things that are coming up right

400
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: around at the corner, all right, I know it's the

401
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: off season here and we're talking offseason press conferences. But

402
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: one thing that's always changing, Ryan, is a sports landscape.

403
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: Oh well done. This week is no different. DraftKings as

414
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: for a second that we had a new read. Where

415
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: do you go? I improvise a little bit there, A

416
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: little improv all right. So a lot of stuff going

417
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: on today as we're taping. Today is the first day

418
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: that teams are able to apply the franchise tag to players,

419
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: which certainly Lamar Jackson is a potential candidate for that.

420
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: The Ravens have said that the hope is to work

421
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: out a long term contract with Lamar. Two weeks now

422
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: until the deadline for that, which you know, I think

423
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: some fans are wondering if the Ravens are gonna put

424
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the tag on them today. Yeah, I don't think so.

425
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: I think that that's generally something that happens closer to

426
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the deadline. Yeah, yeah, usually the dead not always, but

427
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: deadline is usually closer to when that happens. And also, um,

428
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, that could depend on what talks they're having

429
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: behind the scenes right now in terms of a long

430
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: term contract. The other thing too, just just I think

431
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: most listeners know this, but if not, they still have

432
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: time even if they put that tag on to work

433
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: coorse that long term contract. Yeah, so there's a deadline

434
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: for that where he would have to play under the tag.

435
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: There's the cut off point in which you would plan

436
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: in a tag. But that's not now, right, that's not now,

437
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: So they could still this could be a band aid

438
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: and they've done that in the fact, they did that

439
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: Latrell Slugs back in the day, so that could be

440
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: an approach that they would use if they're trying to

441
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: get him to a long term contract. So. Um. The

442
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: other thing is next week is the Combine. Yep, you're

443
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: going out to Indie So favorite spot Oh yeah, so

00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,320

Speaker 1: is kind of the time where it's like, all right now,

460
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: let's start getting into all these guys and learn a

461
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: little bit about them and who they are and how

462
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: they run and all that stuff. There's also gonna be

463
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: press conferences for both John Harbaugh and Eric's Costa out

464
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: there on Wednesday next week, so the press conference circuit

465
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: is continuing. Might be some questions about Lamar Jackson. I

466
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: think that will probably be brought up in that setting.

467
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: I had no doubt about that, um and that. The

468
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: other thing too about like those press conferences is it's

469
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: not just local reporters, so you've got people from all

470
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: over the country, and obviously from a national standpoint, it's

471
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: also the big Baltimore. But from a national standpoint, there's

472
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: that's basically all that the national media cares about exactly.

473
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: So both of them will undoubtedly get plenty of questions

474
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: on that front. So it'll be interesting to hear what

475
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: kind of updates are on that front. Yep, for sure.

476
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: So lots going on, and you know, we could have

477
