1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Indications from Eric since says he says he's taking over

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: giant managers that he tries to get cornerstone pieces done early,

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: like in that kind of role where they really utilize

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: him and his athleticism and kind of you know, bring

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: him on stunts and different things like that to get

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: him kind of free. I think oh A could be

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: a guy who leads his team and sex. This is

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: the fourth of July cook out. There's nothing more American

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: than the hot dog, a runaway victory. I clabbered you

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: welcome into the lounge. It's vacation mode around one winning drive.

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: This is the week that the whole company gets off,

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: but the work never stops for us. Well, let's be honest.

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: We recorded this week ahead of time, so we can

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: still take the week off. There's a little magic calls scheduling,

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: scheduling out and publishing, so we're gonna have a fun podcast.

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: We asked for questions, and we asked for a lot

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: of questions, and you all delivered at you emails at

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: the lounge at Raymonds dot and filed dot net. This

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: is the biggest pile of questions we've ever had, So

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend this podcast answering all those uh, and

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: then after that we're going to have a big time,

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: a big time Fourth of July barbecue draft. I'm really

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to this one for sure. Also, you know

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: what's funny about we'll just preview this. The idea for

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: the fourth of July draft came from our friend Alex

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: and Sweden, which is ironic because he's coming up with

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: a barbecue uh cook al draft, which we're doing for

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the fourth of July. Now, he didn't necessarily say it

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: was the fourth of July draft, but but we're we're

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: phraising it as that. So, um, what's the what's the

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: I wonder what the equivalent of fourth of July is independence, Yeah,

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I wonder. I wonder if they also do a cookout?

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, that's like the thing there or not. Alex

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: is gonna have to send us another email or tell us,

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: like what the Fourth of July equivalent celebration is there?

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: And if a cookouts involved? Um, so we are going

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: to get to that. That's gonna be a lot of fun.

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: And then, uh, do you just want to dive into

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: the questions before we jump into the questions? All right,

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: before we do that, Just that's just gotta set the table,

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the table here for what happens at this time. So

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: so many campaigns two weeks ago and then the rookies

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: were still in the building last week. They spent a

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: few extra days going through playbook, going through conditioning drills.

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: They weren't doing any on field work. But then everyone leaves,

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: like the building goes a ghost town. At that point.

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Coaches go on vacation, uh, scouts go on vacation, players

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: go This is like the only time of the year

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: where it is eerily quiet in that facility. M yeah,

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a it's a weird one. This is

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: when everybody cashes in, like you said last week, cashes

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: in on the VACA time. So um, you know, and

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: it's just it's honestly, around the NFL, this is just

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: the NFL has done such a good job of making

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: it a year round sport, right, I mean, from scheduling

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the draft and camps and free agency and the combine,

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: and I mean it really never ends. I mean you

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: have coaching changes as soon as the season ends. So

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: there's the NFL is always in the news. This is

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: like the three week period where the NFL goes on break.

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: But just watch here here comes here comes to Lamar

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: Jackson contract extension. What I'm on a beach, Well, that's

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna I guarantee that's gonna That's gonna be when you're

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: three beers deep at your barbecue, your fourth tage like cooking,

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to turn around it, right this

66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: story water water water, water, water, all right, So let

67
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: me get my instant analysis. Yeah, keep that in mind

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: for the next pot because the Instant Analysis podcast that

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: gets you know, comes out of nowhere for the for

70
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: the next week. All right, So we do want to

71
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: get to these questions. We're reading as many as we can. Also,

72
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: you guys can always email us at the Latch at

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Ravens dot NFL dot net. This question comes from Jesse

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: need a Burger. Jesse heard a rumor the league is

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: likely to bring back the three three week return from

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: injured reserve. I just wanted to say that that if

77
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: they do, I predict that because of the Ravens depth

78
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: of wide receiver, tight end and defensive back, they will

79
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: have two to three injured players make the Day one

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: roster and they get moved to I R. This is

81
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: the This is in the weeds roster stuff right here,

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: Jesse's paying attention to in the weeds like um, and

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: then a better end will be brought back to pet moriarty,

84
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Uh that will be back to replace them, maybe Anthony

85
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Levine or look cut several depth guys UH that they

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: will likely bring back, uh if they don't get claimed

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: off of waivers um to get someone who they really

88
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: like on injured reserve. This way they may be able

89
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: to keep seven receivers and extra secondary secondary guy, extra

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: tight end or fullback and have him available by week

91
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: three if someone else consentered. We all right, So there's

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: a lot to unpack there. First of all, UM, you know,

93
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: we haven't heard definitive what the exact I think that

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: we're still kind of waiting on. Last year there were

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: all sorts of COVID related roster changes. You can bring

96
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: guys up on Saturday, the practice squad was expanded. It

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: just was like, I don't know how many transactions made,

98
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: transactions rave was made over the course your hundreds. It

99
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: felt like every Saturday there was eight different guys that

100
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: were coming up, going down, going on I R. It

101
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: was wild. So we don't know exactly what that's what

102
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna look like. But certainly I do think that

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: there will be an element as we get down to

104
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: like when we're doing our fifty three man roster prediction

105
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: time that if that is an option to put a

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: guy in a short term I r for a few

107
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: weeks that they may try to do that. And I

108
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: think what he said, I agree with the premise of

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: what he is laying out that that could play out

110
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: that way. What do you think, Yeah, for sure, Yeah,

111
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's part of the game every around the NFL,

112
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: for every team when they have these guys that are

113
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: on the bubble and they really want to keep them. Uh,

114
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, that's part of the game. You kind

115
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: of try to stash some guys and you cross your

116
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: fingers when you make those cuts. As a general manager

117
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: and a head coach around the NFL, there is a

118
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: lot of are crossing and uh and and you just

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: kind of hope they get through waivers. And that's why

120
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: to be totally transparent, like sometimes we get a lot

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: of questions about who's right, who's on the bubble, you know,

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: who should make it but probably won't, And sometimes we're

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: a little hesitant to answer those questions. Because other teams

124
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: want to know that, right, That's like, that's good information,

125
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: like who are who are those players on some of

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: the roster that they really really like? Who are really

127
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: good players, but they're just in a crunch at that spot.

128
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: Other teams want to pick those guys off. So, um,

129
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna have some players in that position.

130
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: I think, particularly at cornerback this year where it's a

131
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: deep they have a lot of depth at corner and

132
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. Yeah,

133
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: And honestly, like I'm always hesitant to do too much

134
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: of the full fifty three man prediction this early because

135
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: you don't know what happens with injuries. There's guys that

136
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: get hurt in the preseason and training camp. It's like

137
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: it's just so early to be playing out, Like are

138
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: there evan receivers as an extra tight end? All that?

139
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: Like it's fun to discuss, but we got plenty of

140
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: time to dive into that. All right, here's another question.

141
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: This one comes to us from Bryce Harrison. Bryce says,

142
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the Lounge. I've been listening

143
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: for the past few years. His hands down my favorite

144
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: podcast ever to exist. So that's one guaranteed way to

145
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: get your question read is to impress us with flattery

146
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: at the start of your email. So keep that in

147
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: mind anyone who sends future emails. Uh. We're getting ready

148
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: to move to Canada later this year. Uh. And I'm

149
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: excited too soon join the community of international lounge listeners.

150
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: So Bryce's are they going to ban Are they going

151
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: to banff? I might just take hop skip and to

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: jump away? Yea, the entire country hops giving a jump away. Um.

153
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot has been made about the possibility of

154
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: signing a veteran pass rusher. But if the Rains were

155
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: to add a veteran free agent at any other position,

156
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: where and who do you think that might be? Bryce

157
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: is keeping his fingers crossed for Todd Gurley to come back,

158
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: or to come in and mentor JK and gust Of Bush.

159
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't get that one. This Maybe this will be

160
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: end up being a Sammy Watkins moment for me right now.

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: But I just don't get the Todd Gurley, Like, I mean,

162
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: you already have two studs I want to see more of.

163
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: J K. Gus is an absolute stud. You know he's

164
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: going to continue to do what he does, the bust

165
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: will keep rolling to me. And then and then you

166
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: have Justice Hill, right, who you know, when he's gotten

167
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. I've I've liked what I've

168
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: seen from Justice Hill. Now is Todd Gurley an improvement

169
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: as a third you know, third down back receiver over

170
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: Justice Hill? If healthy and in good shape, sure, sure,

171
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: he probably is. Right, He's probably better than Justice if

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: he's healthy and all things considered right, that's a big

173
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: if you know that he's had injury concerns, um, But

174
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: if he is healthy, sure, but how much of an

175
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: upgrade and how much does it cost to make that upgrade?

176
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Are my questions? And I just without knowing the financials

177
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: behind it, I just feel like it's probably not worth

178
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: and the big unknown there you'll be hit on it,

179
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: like is his health. He's had major knee issues and

180
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: he's he was great for a few years, but those

181
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: knee issues really slowed him down. And if you get him,

182
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: what percentage are you getting him? So? I mean, now,

183
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: could he you know, could he be like a who

184
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: was it not Willison Gayey but Ricky Williams. You know

185
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: they signed Ricky Williams and he came in and he

186
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: wasn't like obviously the Ricky Williams of old, but he

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: played a role and he did pretty well with it.

188
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what what he did, Like, you know,

189
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: could it be that kind of signing? Sure, you know,

190
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of it depends on

191
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: what's the cost here. So Ricky Williams came in, ran

192
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: for four and forty four yards, two touchdowns, caught thirteen

193
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: passes for eighty three yards. Okay, it's fine, Yeah, it's fine.

194
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: Like if if you feel there's a need at the

195
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: third running back, I guess I'm just intrigued. I'd be interested,

196
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: Like why can't Uh Hill, like Gosh, Justice Hill fill

197
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: that role? You know, I feel like, yeah, I'd like

198
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: to see more. Just I think it just it's an

199
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: insurance policy, I think probably what's going on there. Ravens

200
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: reportedly had him in for a visit. They get a

201
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: look at him, see where he is health wise, and

202
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: then they can decide, Okay, if someone were to get

203
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: hurt training camp, preseason, do you do you is this

204
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: is girly an option at that point? Absolutely, so no

205
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: harm done bringing him in and taking a look and

206
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued He's not Gurley, right right, all right? Another question,

207
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: this comes to us from Chuck Regal. Chuck kept it

208
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: short and sweet, no pleasant trees. At the beginning of email,

209
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: Chuck just says, Hi, I'm Chuck from Pasadena. Right down

210
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: to business here. Who do you think is gonna lead

211
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: the team in sacks this year? Okay? Uh? Interesting question,

212
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: I know, But like the last few years when we've

213
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: done our prediction pod cast, we've often like glossed over

214
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: who leads a team in sacks and spent more time

215
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: discussing whose second on the team in sacks because it's

216
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: just been You've just been all right, Jude is gonna

217
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: leave the team in sacks for the past few years.

218
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Now do you go Kleius? Do you go right to me?

219
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: It's between Calais, probably Bowser, and I would say Dafoa.

220
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: Those would be the three guys that I would point to,

221
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, I just Jalen Ferguson, like, does he kind

222
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: of rediscover that college you know record sat in college

223
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: sack form. I don't know, maybe I I don't see

224
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: it necessarily. Can Purnell McPhee, you know, he had three

225
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: sacks last year. If he stays healthy, you know, has

226
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: a fairly big role. I don't know, I don't see

227
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: him jumping into the sixth seven category. You know. I

228
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: kind of feel like dafe o A could be the guy.

229
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean I just disdressed him to ultimately hope that

230
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: he is that guy. Yeah, I mean I think the leader,

231
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens sack leader is probably gonna end up with

232
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: like seven sacks, right. I don't know that anybody's gonna

233
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: get double digits this year. I don't think Clay's Campbell

234
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: is gonna probably be a double digit guy. It's gonna

235
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: be there's gonna be ten guys, you know, with two

236
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: or more sacks or you know, so uh, it's gonna

237
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: be just spread among the whole defense, and then somebody's

238
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: just gonna edge out. I mean, I feel like, oh,

239
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: way he if he they I've made this comparison before.

240
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: If they say he's kind of like Terrell Suggs in

241
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: his rookie year. You know, Terrell Suggs had like a

242
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: smaller role his rookie year and ended up putting up

243
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: some pretty big stats. I mean, he put up Oh gosh,

244
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: this will be amazing twelve sacks. Twelve sacks is this

245
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: rookie year. I don't know that, you know, always gonna

246
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: get there. Um, but hey, like in that kind of

247
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: role where they really utilize him and his athleticism and

248
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of you know, bring him on stunts and different

249
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: things like that to him kind of free. I think, oh,

250
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: a could be a guy who leads his team a sex.

251
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: So I'll make that prediction. That's I'm sticking right now.

252
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Klais. Okay, you know last year, Klais like,

253
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a disappointing season, but it

254
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: wasn't the Calais Campbell. It wasn't him at his peak form.

255
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: And he dealt with a cafe injury that slowed him

256
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: down for a good portion of the season. He dealt

257
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: with COVID that slowed him down later in the year,

258
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: and so I think it was a bit of a

259
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: challenging year for him. I think that he gets a

260
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: little closer to what he did back when he was

261
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I don't know that you're gonna see twelve.

262
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think the leader could be

263
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, I think if he gets eight, it might

264
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: be a race to eight sacks to lead the team

265
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: this year like that would not surprise me. So I

266
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: think it's Calais. I think he gets back to what

267
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: he did in Jacksonville. He's healthy this year. Who knows,

268
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's his last year. It possibly could be, and

269
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: he of puts it all out there, and I think

270
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with him, And if the Ravens get

271
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: that from him, that'll be really big for this defense,

272
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: really big for this defense. Well, last year, weren't you

273
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: predicted weren't you predicting the highest Bowser like seven sacks

274
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: season last year? Why no, no, no, no. What I

275
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: predicted what I predicted last year, which I may have

276
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: said seven sacks, I think that that I was probably

277
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: in that six to eight range. What I said on

278
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Bowser is that I thought he would ultimately get a

279
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: nice contract, that he was somebody that would play his

280
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: way into a nice contract, and it could and instead

281
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: of the sacks, it was basically his pick six or

282
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: pick ability his hands and quoted in that contract versatility

283
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: And you said you said play into a nice contract elsewhere.

284
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: That was I thought he was going to get a

285
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: nice contract elsewhere. But he ends up getting a nice

286
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: contract at home because the other guy's got the nice contract. Um,

287
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: that's true. Alright, So another question here. Thanks for the question, Chuck.

288
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: This one is from Paul Saccomb. My name is Paul.

289
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: Big fan of the podcasts, even bigger fan of Minx

290
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: killer jokes. So we'll let that one pass. Well, that

291
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: one passed. I was waiting. I was waiting for that

292
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: email to come up. Over the past few weeks, I've

293
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: seen a bunch of Ravens signings like Jowan, James, Michael Schofield.

294
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: While these guys have promising factors among them, such as

295
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: their size athleticism, I was wondering if you think some

296
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: of the cheap, low full or high ceiling type signings

297
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: should be directed towards pass rushers. So he mentions Zekiel

298
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: Ansa as a guy who has recorded double digit sacks.

299
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: Could he be signed for great value as we're talking

300
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: about pass rushers. Also, he says, make keep up the

301
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: good rook, good good work. Treat yourself to a root

302
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: beer float. Why don't you did you mention rut beer floats?

303
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Is that nice? Did I? When did you talk about

304
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: rut your floats floats on the barbecue? No? We haven't.

305
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, but I'm down with we probably should

306
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: add it to the barbecue. What have you ever been

307
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: at a barbecue where your floats are flying around? Only

308
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: the class see us at the end? You bring him,

309
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: you bring him around on a little silver tray. Who

310
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: would like a root beer flat? If you're gonna have

311
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: like a sweet, like a like a frozen treat, uh, barbecue,

312
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: it's a popsicle like. Don't get me wrong, root beer

313
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: floats are better than a popsicle. But again, what are

314
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: you ever gonna have a root beer float at a barbecue?

315
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: It's a popsicle if you're gonna have anything like that? Anyway,

316
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: what do you think Raby's gonna sign the zeke Alanza? Wait?

317
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a beer float? Let's just drop

318
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: the root just go straight to the beer float. Not

319
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: had a beer float? I think probably the closest would

320
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: be like if you're at like a no, I haven't.

321
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean the closest would be like if you're at

322
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: like a fancy restaurant and it's like a dessert that

323
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: has some sort of like a fagato. Right, that's coffee though,

324
00:16:50,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: that's coffee coffee beer. I'm alright, alright, Ezekiel Anza. Uh

325
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: is he a free agent? I guess he is? Right.

326
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: So last year playing in San Francisco, Uh, didn't have

327
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: any sacks, put only played in two games. Um. You know, honestly,

328
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to him last year. Didn't

329
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens bring him in reportedly for a workout though, Yeah,

330
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: I can't remember that as last year or the or

331
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: the year before. But I mean he's kind of been

332
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: bouncing around for a few years now, you know, Um,

333
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: he suffered a tor and biceps last year. Yeah, he's

334
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: been he's been bouncing around. I understand. You know, basically

335
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: the point here is uh from from Paul is like

336
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: he said, high potential, high ceiling guy. You know, low floor,

337
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: high ceiling. Um. But you know you're going back aways

338
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: when he's had a producing season twelve sacks and yeah

339
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: it's been three it's yeah, twelve sacks seen fourteen and

340
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: a half inten So you know, I think that short

341
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: he when you have that kind of short list of guys. Uh,

342
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, right now there's the Justin Houston's of the world,

343
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: the Melvin Ingram's. Could ezekiel As beyond that? List sure.

344
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, Like, like I've said, I feel like I

345
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: feel like I expect the Ravens to sign some kind

346
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: of veteran outside linebacker before the season starts. Um. And

347
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: if the price really never comes down on justin Houston

348
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: to a position where the Ravens feel comfortable making that move,

349
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: then yeah, taking a flyer on somebody like Ezekiel Asa

350
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: might be worthwhile. Um. You know, I think I think

351
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: what I'm curious about is is is Lamar's contract also

352
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: kind of delaying the addition of another free agent. You know,

353
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this actually last night. Are the

354
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: Are the Ravens kind of waiting to see if that

355
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: domino falls, because obviously that's going to impact a lot

356
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: of things, right and if and if it turns out

357
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: they're just not gonna come to an agreement with Lamar

358
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: before the season starts, then maybe they say, all right,

359
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: you know, we have this money, let's go get an

360
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: outside linebacker. Right And but if it does get done,

361
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: then maybe you don't. You can't afford that right now,

362
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: you know. So, UM, I think I just wonder if

363
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: that's one of the dominoes there. We're gonna get back

364
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: to questions in a second. But while we're talking about

365
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Lamar's contract, I think it's a worthwhile to stop here

366
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: for a second. There seems to be we've both said

367
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: that it feels like maybe it doesn't happen this year

368
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: and maybe it's a wait until after the season and

369
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens getting done before he plays out

370
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: on the fifth year option. But there seems to be

371
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: a lot of smoke that it's gonna get done before

372
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: this season. I mean, there's talk about it getting done

373
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: before training camp. So you know that goes back to

374
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: you sitting there having your your root beer float on

375
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the fourth of July and the deal gets done. Like

376
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: is your feeling which way are you leaning right now? Uh?

377
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Usually where there's smoke, there's fire, I gotta say, Um

378
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: so I am thinking there's a there's more likelihood that

379
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: it could get done. You know, this could be one

380
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: of those things where Eric and company just make it

381
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: seem like, ah, you know it's not gonna happen. It's

382
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 1: not gonna happen the boom one day it's done, you know.

383
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: Um So, you know, it's just hard for me to

384
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: say because I just don't know all the cap ramifications

385
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: Here's here's my thinking, as a guy who really has

386
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: not studied the salary cap much. We should have Brian

387
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: McFarland back on. We should have the salary cap guru

388
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: back on as we come back from break. Let's ask

389
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: him to come up. That's a put put put a

390
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: pin in that put it on that. Um So so anyway,

391
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: um my thinking was that I really wonder, like, you

392
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: can't you have Mark Andrews, You're you want to sign

393
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: to a big deal as well is can you stagger it? Right?

394
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: So you're not paying both those guys big money at

395
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: the same time, right, Like like what if the Ravens

396
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: were to pay Mark Andrews bigger money up for when

397
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: Lamar's contract, you know, the early years are low and

398
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: then you flip flop Mark, you know, Mark's contract grows

399
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: in value in Lamar's you know, decreases in value or yeah, right,

400
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: and and so like that's I just wonder if you

401
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: can structure it that way so you can kind of

402
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: keep everybody, you know. Yeah, I tend to agree when

403
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: there's smoke, there's fire, and uh, it just seems like

404
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk about it getting done and

405
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: John Harball said during I think it was mini camp. Look,

406
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna get done. It's just a matter of Like

407
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: everyone has said that, it's a matter of if, it's not.

408
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: It's a matter of when, not if. And it just

409
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: seems like there's real urgent. It just seems like there's urgency.

410
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: That's like the feeling that I get, you know, and

411
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: here listening to Hardball, like Lamar is not worried about it.

412
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: He's knows it's gonna get done, he's gonna get paid,

413
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, and so like it just and then

414
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: you hear all these reports and it seems like the

415
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: move is in that direction. So I don't I'm not

416
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: just gonna evinced that it happens before training camp, but

417
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: before the season. I would probably put my flag in

418
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: that camp. Yeah, Um, I think Mark Andrews gets done

419
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: before his contract is up for sure. Okay, Well, if

420
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: they can block up both those guys, that'd be a

421
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: pretty big few months ahead of us. All Right, this question,

422
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: it's hold on, hold on. I really think they have

423
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: to resign Mark Andrews. Really. I mean, you know, as

424
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: much as I said that about Orlando, and I loved

425
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Orlando and he just felt like a Raven for life.

426
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: And you know that that really, you know, he caused

427
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: that to happen, Well, not really, Ronnie Stanley's resigning cause

428
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: that to happen. Um, and then Orlando kind of forced

429
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: the issue. But Mark Andrews like, if the Ravens were

430
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: to lose him, that would be a massive loss. Just

431
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: watching it during minicamp and O t a s. I mean,

432
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: of course we all know that their connection. We've been

433
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: writing about the backyard connection for years, but goodness gracious,

434
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like automatic in minicamp. And to

435
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: take that away when you're sitting here, you know, spending

436
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: a first round pick on Rashad Bateman and signing Sammy

437
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: Watkins to upgrade the weapons around Lamar Jackson, to take

438
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: away probably his most reliable guy as a safety blanket

439
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: without really an answer. This isn't like an Ed Dixon

440
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: Dennis pit of situation where it's like you had two

441
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: guys and you know, Pitto was emerging, and okay, we'll

442
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: go with Pitta. There isn't another guy. You know, it's

443
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: already training the other guy. The other guy was hating,

444
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, exactly so exactly, so yeah, I think they

445
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: have to. Yeah, just to be clear, I think I

446
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: think that Andrews is also going to get signed. I

447
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: think that, and I think they he'll get signed before

448
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: the season is over. Now, the question, the only question

449
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: with Mark is could they franchise him right, because because

450
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: Mark in the end is gonna get paid whatever the

451
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: franchise tag is, the average of the top five salaries

452
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: or whatnot. I mean, Mark Andrews is going to be

453
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: right in the at that number anyway, on a on

454
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 1: a per year average per year basis. Now how it's structured, obviously,

455
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: but I wonder, like kind of what I was saying before,

456
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: if Lamar is making has a lower number in the

457
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: earlier years of his contract, in the first one or two,

458
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: then you can tag Mark right because so Margot eat

459
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: up a bigger number on that one year tag. But

460
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: you can do that because Lamar is not making so much.

461
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: And then you reach that contract extension, that long term

462
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: extension with Mark that lowers his number immediately once Lamar's

463
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: contract starts climbing, right, And that makes sense. I just

464
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: the indications from Eric since his he says he's taking

465
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: over Gello managers, that he tries to get cornerstone pieces

466
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: done early before they're even before they even hit the market.

467
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: Did that with Marlon Humphrey, did that with Ronnie Stanley,

468
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: did that with Marcus Peters. Just get it done. You

469
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be here. And I feel like with

470
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews he would fall into that category rather than

471
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: make him play it out chance losing him, maybe end

472
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: up paying him more money at the end of the

473
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: day because you wait another year and the cap goes

474
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: up and another guy gets paid and all that. So

475
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: now instead of paying him, I don't know, sixteen million

476
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: a year, you're paying him eight team. So, but you

477
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: do delay, you do delay it. I just think that

478
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: they're the I just think they're going to try to

479
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: get that done before it ever reaches that point. Yeah,

480
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it will. Could would. I think they need

481
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: to get a long term deal done with him at

482
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: some point. All right, question here from Mark Riley Runberg.

483
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: We actually answered a few Riley's already, because you've talked

484
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: about a little more contract um. First of all, he says,

485
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: what's going on. I've got a few questions for you

486
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: that I need answering, Garrett, only not make if hardball

487
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: doesn't trust him. I can't trust him either. Love it,

488
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, Riley. I totally agree. He says bank Cleveland's

489
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: got to be the left card, right, he says bank

490
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Levland's gonna be a left card. I think that Bank

491
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland will be the left guard at some point. I'm

492
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: not convinced necessarily that it's gonna be week one. I

493
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: think it could be in Orlando Brown junior situation from

494
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: a few years ago, where uh they had James Hurst

495
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: there to start the season, Orlanda took over and never

496
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: lost a job. That may be the case with Ben,

497
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: where it's somebody else there vent powers maybe to start

498
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: the season. Um, but I think that at some point

499
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: Ben Cleveland will be the left guard. And then he

500
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: also asked about John James, where do you think comes

501
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: from him next year? Is can the guy get healthy

502
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: from with torn achilles before we start making predictions on

503
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: on what he's gonna be, Like, I have no clue,

504
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Like I I can't even I like the signing, low risk,

505
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: high reward, but like to say he's gonna be a

506
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: starting right tackle or anything, like, I have no idea.

507
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta, I gotta see the guy get

508
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: on the practice field one day before making any kind

509
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: of predictions. Yeah, I like the potential. I mean I

510
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: think that if he does make a return health wise. Uh,

511
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if the Ravens end up, you know,

512
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: playing it out a one year deal with Bill in

513
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: Nueva and then John James takes over as a starting

514
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: right tackle next year, wouldn't spread um. All right, So

515
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: let's get into one more um before we get into

516
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: our draft. Uh. This one comes from Todd Washerman. Can

517
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: you guys talk about what players do throughout their day

518
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: during training camp? Also what really goes on in those

519
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: long meetings with their coaches? I mean yeah, So in

520
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: training camp, they're basically in the building, I don't know,

521
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: seven seven am until about seven pm, about five seven pm.

522
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: Basically they go through what's going on in the meetings

523
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: is they're literally watching practice tape and they're critiquing highs

524
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: lows what they did, and then they're also going through

525
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: the installation of the offense and the defense and talking

526
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: about like the schematic piece of it. Usually when they're

527
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: in those meetings, they're in position groups, Like they're not

528
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: just meeting as a team. They don't meet as a

529
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: team all that. Often they have a one you know,

530
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: one day once a day, probably fifteen minute team meeting,

531
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: but most of the time is spent in position rooms

532
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: when they're going through it. And then the other thing

533
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: they haven't in training camp. They gotta practice for two

534
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: or three hours, then they got to walk through for

535
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: another hour. Then they have lifting and conditioning. Then they

536
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: have also recovery. So if you're in the hot sub sauna,

537
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: the cry o chamber or anything like that. So like

538
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: you add all those things up, that's that's a long day.

539
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: That's a long day. Um. And then also chamber. After

540
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: I do a workout, after my muscles are so sore

541
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: and I pull a hand, I'm into cryo chamber. I

542
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: don't even know if they have cryo chambers. I just

543
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: said that because it sounds cool. Mine's just how mine's

544
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: was me crying in the corner. That's mine. Oh, I

545
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: got it, I I understood the pun. Uh let me

546
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: let I'll just toss this out there if you want

547
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: to see like behind the scenes of what happened, what

548
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: training camp looks like. Just google day in the life

549
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson. We did a photo series back in in

550
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: which we followed around. We had Shawn Hubbard, our excellent photographer,

551
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: followed around Tony Jefferson for a full day of what

552
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: training camp looks like from you know, at his place

553
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: and then going into work. So, um, that really gives

554
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: you a good kind of uh, you know, pulls the

555
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: curtains back to give you a good look at what

556
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: training camp looks like. Yeah, for sure. All right, So

557
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: now let's get to the highly anticipated, the best part

558
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: of this podcast. This suggestion again came from alex Antwinson

Speaker 1: your not you put it, then someone takes it first,

566
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,760

Speaker 1: talk you got and the hot tail you got, the

609
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: pigs tail, the snout, the hoof, I got it all,

610
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: I got it all. Right, here we go. This is great.

611
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: I feel great about this draft already. Now is the

612
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: mac and cheese. Now is the mac and cheese. There's

613
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: there is terrible things better. That's always like they have

614
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: it out and it's one of the first things gone.

615
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: You go through the line and it's gone quicker than anything.

616
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: Mac and cheese, the dog and cheese. Mac and cheese, God,

617
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: you can have. You can have mac and cheese any time.

618
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Mac and cheese is great in the wind enter. It's

619
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: not a fourth of July exclusive thing. You can get

620
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: back and cheese all the time. And you do right

621
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: at a fourth of July picnic. It gets cold, crusty.

622
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: The cheese isn't gooey anymore. It's just not It's just

623
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: not that great. So that's why I'm going Potato salad.

624
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: That is. Oh my god, that that was. That was.

625
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: That was one of my lowest picks. I knew you

626
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: were gonna get that high. I knew you were gonna

627
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: s so good. It's creamy with it's delicious. It's a

628
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: sad potato salad is good in the first three minutes

629
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: that has brought out. Then it sits in the sun

630
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: and you basically just have you have soggy potatoes floating

631
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: in warm mayonnaise, and that's all that it is. That

632
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: is disgusting. That was one of my lowest items. Oh

633
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: my god, he's he's back in the game with an

634
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: incredible turn of events. And now I get another fantastic

635
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: side and this is just a great one. Corn on

636
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: the cob. You're gonna do it, you were going to

637
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: do it. That is such a see that that is

638
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: the equivalent that I had corn on the cob ninth.

639
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: And another reason for that is cold corn on the

640
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: cob sucks. It's trying to cold because when it comes out,

641
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: you can't always get it all hot. You put on

642
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: your get it right off the grill, right off the grill.

643
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Then then you try to put the butter on it.

644
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: The butter won't even melt. It's clumpy. Can't even get

645
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: it on there. Plus then you got the stuff from

646
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: your teeth. The rest of the you got the stuff

647
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: in your teeth, and it's just bothering you the rest

648
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: of the time. You're going for a swim. You're like

649
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: a dang corn on the cob. It's stuck in my

650
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: teeth again. Yep, that's a good. First of all, you

651
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: just you take the corn on the cop when it

652
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: comes off the grill. You don't just let it sit

653
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: out all day. Now that I feel so great about.

654
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: You have the best way that you. You have to

655
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: have floss nearby when you eat corn on the cob.

656
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: And who brings floss to a fourth of July barbecue? Okay,

657
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: next pick clutch, move by me. Big beans right there.

658
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: It's the dude, it's the musical fruit. It is that.

659
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: It is that so no one's going to want to

660
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: sit next to. Now, I got the entertainment covered. I've

661
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: got the entertainment portion of the barbecue covered with the

662
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: baked beans. I've got the left that you were sides.

663
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: You've got the two worst sides. Beans are amazing. Beans

664
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: potato salad and baked beans. They that's as good and

665

Speaker 1: got well balanced here, well balanced, and this is an

Speaker 1: incredible I'm just shocked. I'm just hitting double after double watermelon. Watermelon,

668
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: another bad one. You stink at this. You stink at this.

00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: This is watermelon is really not that good. It's really
