1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: I think Rashad Bateman. Everything about the guy as smooth. 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: He's going to be a player for this team as 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: a rookie. The other big thing that the Raves have 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: done this offseason is dress offensive line. You predicted what 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: the starting offensive line would be, and everything that I 6 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: saw today indicated that, Yes, I think that's gonna be 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: the case. I'd like what I've seen so far from 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: Mdaffe away. The Ravens are gonna be counting on him 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: in a big way this year, and I have been 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: impressed with what I've seen. After this point, welcome into 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: the lounge. We're kind of in the lounge right next 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: to the lounge in the studio. We're about as close 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: as the lounge as we've been in a long time. 14 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: We're out of the basement. That's what's all right, I'm 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: out of the basement, I can say. Uh So, Yeah, 16 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: just wrapped up watching Ravens O tiers practice. Wednesday's practice. 17 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: The first O t a s uh And we're gonna 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: give you our takeaways. We haven't even given any takeaways 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: from Recommnicat, so there's a lot to talk about here. 20 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Get our hot takes. Yeah, well, we we did. We've 21 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: had some guests on the podcast and then you know, 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: we had kemmy hustic kind of give the film breakdown 23 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: to the rookies. So this is a chance to give 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: you what we think of what we've seen so far. Um, 25 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: it's not a lot, it's early impressions. But I think 26 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: if you're walking around town and you talked to family, 27 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: talked to friends, everyone says how they how do they look? 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: How's Bateman? How's Away look? And so that's what we 29 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: want to try to give you a little perspective on today. 30 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: So before we get rolling here, I also want to 31 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: let people know you guys can email us with the 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. Let us know 33 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: what questions you have for future episodes. Um. But with 34 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: all that said, uh, you've seen a few practices so far. 35 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: We think you know my big takeaways so far or 36 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: that I big takeaways that you need a new pair 37 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: of shoes. These shoes are falling up. There's a hole 38 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: in the front of that toe, there's a hole on 39 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: there's a This is why now I'm getting critique from 40 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: my shoes. This is my first time putting on a button, 41 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: a shirt with buttons in a year, but a bilt. 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: This just literally probably the third time of Warner Belt 43 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: in a year. I'm not joking. Did you have to 44 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: move the notchdown a couple more couple of down up 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: an there? Yeah, So anyway, yes, I do need new shoes. 46 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: You're right about that, um My big takeaways. You know, 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: obviously a lot of eyes are on the wide receivers 48 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: right because they draft to you guys, including the first 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: round pick you signed, Sammy Watkins. I haven't seen him. 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: He didn't participate in uh was he yesterday? But from 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: what I've seen of the two rookies, I really like him. 52 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: I think Rashad Bateman, you know, smooth. Everything about the 53 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: guy is smooth, and I just really feel like he's 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: going to be a player for this team as a rookie. 55 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna put up eight hundred yards, 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, but I think that he's gonna make plays 57 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: when it matters. He's he's gonna top five hundred. Didn't 58 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I give a prediction on his That's something we have 59 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: to pull that back up. So I was really impressed 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: with him in rookie minicamp. It's a shame he kind 61 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: of had some muscle soreness here at O T A 62 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: SO and we didn't get to see more of him, 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: but that only opened the door from Tylan Wallace, who 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: I thought had a really nice practice. Yeah, with Bateman, 65 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: just as a quick note on him, I totally agree 66 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: with you. I think he looks really smooth. He just 67 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: looks like a polished route runner. Uh, he can stop 68 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: on a dime. I like what I've seen from him, 69 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't practice, Like, of course you 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: would prefer that he is practicing, but no one seemed 71 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: worried about it. I mean it's not a big deal 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: obviously at the time when you see it. When you 73 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: see a rookie first round pick leave the field early, 74 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: everyone starts to go out, oh what's going Yeah exactly, 75 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: But like he I just want to make this point. 76 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: He left and went inside for a little bit, but 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: he came back outside and watch practice, which is if 78 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: there's anything really constarting, the able to say get off 79 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: your feet, and John said that there's nothing, no injury. Yeah, 80 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: so it's just they're just taking it super cautious. Uh, 81 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: in May with the first round pick, so can't blame him. Yes, definitely, 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: onto Thayland Wallace. You know, I think the interesting there 83 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: thing with him is and in college he really almost 84 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: exclusively played on the outside and particularly on one side, 85 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: just on the right side of the formation, and so 86 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: a big question for him, and something he even talked 87 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: about was, yeah, you know, with the Ravens, they move 88 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: their wide receivers around a lot. You play at all 89 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: different spots, and that's a big adjustment for me. Sometime 90 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to really get used to and learn right. 91 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that he still has a lot more 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: learning to do right just because we're beyond rookie minicamp 93 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: and into O T is like you don't have the 94 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: scheme down by any stretch um. But from what I've 95 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: seen from him athletically, I think that he can make 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: that transition and actually be really good and thrive inside 97 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: because he's so sudden in out of his breaks, Like 98 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: you just see him go into a route and break 99 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: it off and come change direction and go back out, 100 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: and he's like, oh man, he's wide open all of 101 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: a sudden, like you know, a guy was on him. 102 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: He changes direction and suddenly Tylan Wallas is why open 103 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: and and presenting a good throwing window, catches the ball 104 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: really well. I think he's in an intriguing slout option. 105 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about Devin's you and I being 106 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: that player for the Ravens, and James Brochet me being 107 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: that guy. I'm gonna toss Tyler and Wallace his name 108 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: into the mix there. I think it's a fair point. 109 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: I do think that his movement is fluid and smooth 110 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: and sudden and maybe the most sound of the guys 111 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: in that group. I like what I saw from Duvernet 112 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: last year. But um, you know, that is an interesting thing. 113 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: And I go back to what the Constant pointed out 114 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: when we had him on the podcast after the draft, 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: and he talked about how the Ravens have done this 116 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: a number of times where they've doubled up with players 117 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: at a position in the draft, and several times the 118 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: second guy. Oftentimes when they do it, they take a 119 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: guy the second with that that's the second player at 120 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: the same position, because he's so good you can't pass 121 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: him up. And oftentimes that guy has become better than 122 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: the guy they drafted earlier. Whoa, whoa. Now I'm not 123 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: saying all no, I'm not putting I'm not putting Bateman 124 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: behind him. I think Bateman you're thinking of, You're thinking 125 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: of our guy at Dixon and Dennis Pita or Ben 126 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: Grubs and Marcerijanda or Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews. Like 127 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: there's multiple examples of that. Um Now, I'm not I'm 128 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: not putting Tayland Loss ahead of Freshie Bateman and my 129 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: expectations or on the depth chart or any of that. 130 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like, the second guy can be 131 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: a player. Yeah, he can be a player. And at 132 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: all in my head, I've I've been like, all right, 133 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: I think that the top receivers, if you're lining up 134 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: right now, it's gonna be Hollywood, Bateman, and DuVernay. That's 135 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: what I've been saying. Well, I mean, really you're talking 136 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: your your top three, I think would be Sammy, Hollywood 137 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: and Bateman, right, and Bateman played inside in college, but 138 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: they might the point that they like him out soide, 139 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean he played better outside in college and get inside. 140 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying those are probably your top three receivers. Yes, 141 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: if you're just going if you're ranking the top, but 142 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: I think that if they want a true slot received, 143 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 1: where they may go with Bateman. Sorry. There. The interesting 144 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: thing about du Rene inside is that, like I don't 145 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: think he's quite as sudden as Thailand. I guess that might. 146 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of the point. Like he's really fast, 147 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean straightline speed, and his body type, he's a 148 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: little muscled up. He's he's like a little more like 149 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: a running back, you know, And like I like him 150 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: on the sweeps and get the ball in his hands 151 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: and and just like every time that guy got the 152 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: ball in his hands, it felt like he got eight 153 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: yards out of it. Like he's just as fast getting 154 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: up the field and can get some work through some 155 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: contact and get pick up some yards. But I don't 156 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: think he's like necessarily you're just like really twitchy kind 157 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: of uncover underneath kind of slot receiver, you know what 158 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: I mean. I I do. I can see that, and 159 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: I agree, maybe I'm not sold on that assessment. I like, 160 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: when I do see Tylon Walls move, he seems to 161 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: have a little bit more sudness. But I I want 162 00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: to see a little bit more before I jump in. 163 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: That can't yeah, I can't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 164 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: I know. I know it's just for for some impressions, 165 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, when we see him working out here. Yeah, 166 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: all right, let's let's the other big thing that the 167 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: Rams have done this offseason is a dress the offensive line. 168 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: So I think that we were all kind of wondering 169 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: what the line was gonna look like. Now I think 170 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: it's important to just throw this out this caveat. It's 171 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: not the full line yet. Ronnie Stanley still working with 172 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: the way back from the injury. Zeitler didn't participate, and 173 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a starting right guard. So those are 174 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: two spots that you know are gonna be you know 175 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: who's gonna be there. But the other three coming into today, 176 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: it was kind of like, I don't know, really, no, 177 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: I disagree. I think that you could say, I mean, 178 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: we've done it in mail bag. He predicted, you predicted 179 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: what the starting offensive line would be, right, and our 180 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: prediction is as long as he's healthy, which we expect 181 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: to be, you know, in time, Ronnie Stanley at left 182 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: tackle for sure, Bank Cleveland at left guard, Bradley Bozeman 183 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: at center, Kevin Zeitler at right guard, and Ali Jandra 184 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: Villain a wave at right tackle. And everything that I 185 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: saw to day indicated that yes, I think that's gonna 186 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: be the case. Yeah. Well, I mean, Hardball is still 187 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: a lot more time. But I mean the most definitive 188 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: thing that we got on that front was Hardball said 189 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: after practice moving forward, Bradley Bosemans starting centers. He's the 190 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: starting center, and then that kind of allows everything else 191 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: to fall in place. And that's something that we've been 192 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: talking about for a while on the podcast, is the 193 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: possibility of moving him from guard to center. And I 194 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: just I've always liked that. I have been in that 195 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: camp because he did it in college. The Ravens had 196 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: issues at center last year with snaps and key moments 197 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: of big games. Now you get a guy who's done it, 198 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: who's played really well left guard, So if he can 199 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: play well a left guard position didn't play in college, 200 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: I would think he'd be able to play well at 201 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: center position. Differently, I think there's other thing factors too 202 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: that I like about it. I mean, really smart guy, 203 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: really takes coaching extremely well, works really hard. His teammates 204 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: love him like he just has the center qualities. The 205 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: center qualities he really does, you know, and um, yeah, 206 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: and I like that. I think he's a guy that 207 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: could be here for a really long time, and having 208 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: that consistency at center I think could really help Lamar 209 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: Jackson in his development too, and in his career and 210 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: just help the offense in general. Um so he can 211 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: be an anchor, you know, on the field and off 212 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: the field. He can be your anchor. And so I 213 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: really like that. I was. I'll admit I wasn't totally 214 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: in that cap. I was, you know, a while back. 215 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: I recall saying, look, he's a really good left guard. 216 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: Why why change him when he's really good? Like, if 217 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: it ain't broke, don't fix it. And then bank Cleveland 218 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: came into the picture, and I was like, no, you know, 219 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: I gotta move whatever big buds in and uh yeah. 220 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: And so you know, I will say to what my 221 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: earlier point about the projected starting offensive line, Bank Cleveland 222 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have it wrapped up by any means, right, Like, 223 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: that's still to me the biggest question mark because the 224 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: other four, you know, with Hardball saying bo is your center, 225 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: it's really now just down to the left guard. Who's 226 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: gonna be your studying left guard? My my feeling is 227 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: that Ben Cleveland's the favorite for the job, but he's 228 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: gonna get some serious competition from Ben Powers, you know, 229 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: and and maybe some some other guys Ben Breticon could 230 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: work into that mix. You know, we saw today at 231 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: Otis without Ronnie Stanley on the field, they were looking, 232 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: you know, they needed a left tackle to who is 233 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: that going to be? And I thought it was interesting 234 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: that Patrick McCarry took snaps there and Tyree Phillips took steps. 235 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: There's those are two guys that played left tackle almost 236 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: entirely throughout their college career, right so there, it's familiar 237 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: with mccarrey moves. He's got some good feet, he can 238 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: move out there. He played there at Cal he was 239 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean, McCarry is the guy that he's 240 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: like the true guy that can play all five spots 241 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: along the offense, which you really don't see a lot of. 242 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: I think a couple points that will make online left guard. 243 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: You're right, they're not just gonna hand the job in 244 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: band Cleveland and say, oh you're getting as buzz, you're 245 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: a fan favorite already, you're the starting left guard. He's 246 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to earn that. And mccusa made this point 247 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: on the podcast last week. You know, I think it 248 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: was Ken the Ravens madeo Lenda Brown wait for about 249 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: half that season was because James Hirst. Sure, yeah, what 250 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: that you made that same dumb joke. Yeah, yeah, I 251 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: totally agree. So he's just ready, Like you can play 252 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: Powers there. Ben Powers started in the playoffs. Yeah, he 253 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: started games. You know that Ben Powers can play guard 254 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: at a at a you know whatever level, winning level, 255 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: right you want. The Ravens won a lot of games 256 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: on the stretch with Ben Powers and right guard. Yeah, 257 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: and so that could very well happen. And at great tackle, 258 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: I agree, the Ravens sign fill in a Wava, and 259 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: I would expect him to probably win the starting great 260 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: tackle job. Of course he's can. They paid him like 261 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: eight million dollars. Yes, I would expect it. Talking about 262 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: I think, I still like my boy Tyry Phillips, I 263 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: still like. I still I still like right tackle. If 264 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: he's healthy, I still like. I still I think he's 265 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: gonna I said I expected to win the job. I've 266 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: said I expected to win the job. But I I 267 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: still for giving him all the so the right tackles, 268 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: because that's the Transition's played left tackle for the past 269 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: what six or whatever, his whole career, whatever, his whole 270 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: career in Pittsburgh. He can play left tackle. To sleep, 271 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: they put him right tackle because that's the transition. Well, 272 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: the other the other factor is just Ronnie Stanley's health 273 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: and and if Ranie Stanley's not healthy, what do they 274 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: do there? Do they slide filling away the back? Do they? 275 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that carry would probably be the starting 276 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: left tackle week one. If if Stanley weren't ready, I 277 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: would expect it that would probably be filling away. Um 278 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: so look, I mean, but that would be if the 279 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: Ravens are starting a game today, I would expect expected 280 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: to be Stanley. And you're going with Cleveland week one, Yeah, 281 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: you're going with clean. I'm going with Cleveland week one. 282 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: I think that they're going to give him but it's 283 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: it's like Orlando, you know, it is similar to that, Sue. 284 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: I think they're going to give him enough reps to 285 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: to win the job. He's going to have the opportunity, right, 286 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get him up to speed, I think, 287 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: as fast as possible and get him ready to start immediately. 288 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: Whether he quite gets there or not, I don't know. 289 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: We'll see. I will say this in comparison comparing it 290 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: to the Orlando situation. Guard is easier then tackle. Let's 291 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: let's just put it out there, right. I think the 292 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: jump to the NFL is not quite as extreme. You're 293 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: not gonna see that. You know, he's Ben Cleveland ain't 294 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: gonna sit there and be going against t J. Watt 295 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: right like Orlando Brown would have been. That experience. I 296 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: think matters a little bit more on the edge. Uh physically, 297 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, Orlando had some growing to do physically. Thank Cleveland. Physically, 298 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: it's just he's he's fool grown um. So like I 299 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: think he has some factors working in his favor that 300 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: make it a little bit easier to be an immediate starter. 301 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean it was Ko and immediate immediate starter, you 302 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: know Ko. If you remember that season, they kind of 303 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: that was there was going on. I mean, we're going, 304 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: we're back here. He was a right tackle for much 305 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: of that year and then went to and then or 306 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: kicked out there when McKinney became the starting left tackle 307 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: and he went inside the guard. And so there's a 308 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: lot of movement along the offensive line that season. Anyway, Yes, 309 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with that pick. That bankleveland Week one 310 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: starter but we'll see. Yeah, defensively, I think it's tough 311 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: to to make really big sweeping judgments. Uh, defensively from Patrick, 312 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: Queen looks nice and you like the you like the six? 313 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: I like, yeah, I think I will say in our 314 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: takeaways about Jersey Change, I like, I think Hollywood Brown 315 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: looks good, and five I think I looks. I kind 316 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: of agree though, I kind of do like the forty 317 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: eight quite better than I did the six, And I 318 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: like to say that in Final Try today. I'll keep 319 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: that on the podcast. Um and then and then uh one. 320 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: I mentioned this in our O t A Takeaways. I 321 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: like what I've seen so far from adafe Away and 322 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: I just feel like physically those those tools, and that 323 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: the fletticism is something that everyone was aware of and 324 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: talked about. But there's one thing to look good doing 325 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: it in a pre camp or the pre draft workout, 326 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: another thing to do it on the field. The next 327 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: step isode to do it and pad. So there's obviously progression, 328 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: but I just think that the Ravens are gonna be 329 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: counting on him in a big way this year, and 330 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: I have been impressed with what I've seen up to 331 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: this point. I think It's hard to make a lot 332 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: of judgments on the defense when you know your your 333 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: entire starting defensive line isn't here for O. T. A S, 334 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Williams, Class Campbell, and Derek Wolfe. You know, if 335 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about guys who don't need to be here 336 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: at the top of the list, right, and so they're 337 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: not here. You know, uh, outside linebacker Perno, mcfee's not here. 338 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: You know, Tias looks like ties. He looks good. You 339 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: know you think Jalen Ferguson physically looks a little bit 340 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: better than he did. You know, I I will say 341 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: it's always everyone's always interested in how do the guys luck, 342 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: and and it's sometimes tough to tell. Like I know, 343 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: there was buzz on social media on Tuesday about man 344 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson looks jack he looks huge, and I was like, 345 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: think he looked any different? I think he kind of 346 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: looks the same. I haven't seen. I haven't really noticed 347 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: any drastic physical changes. I haven't. I wouldn't say it's drastic. 348 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: I thought that anybody than anybody in the roster. I 349 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: haven't either. I I do think that Jalen Ferguson, to 350 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: me looked a little bit more uh built, a little 351 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: bit uh more developed. Um, now, well he's looking a 352 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: little bit like No, I thought you were talking about 353 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: moving a few belts notches over after the quarantine four. 354 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: It's just seen. Now. I don't know if that's actually 355 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: the case, but to my eye it did seem like 356 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: that was the case with Ferguson. And then look, this 357 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: is a big year for him. Third round pick hasn't 358 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: really hasn't hasn't put up numbers the first two seasons, 359 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: so uh, it's time for him to to take that step. 360 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: The Ravens just drafted first round pick, um, you know, 361 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: one end of fifth rounder in Dalen Hayes. Yeah, so 362 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: he's going to be pushed and the Ravens need someone 363 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: to step up there. I put in mail Bay. I 364 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: don't think that his roster spot is in jeopardy really 365 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: because the Ravens lost too outside linebackers as well, and 366 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: gehad ward defensive end. So I don't I think Jalen 367 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: Ferston has a place on this team. But if you're 368 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: talking about all right, which which which trajectory is your 369 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: career on? Here? You know, are you going to get 370 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: that big second year contract? And really kind of break 371 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: out and become a guy or you're not. You know, 372 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: this year is gonna say a lot. I think about 373 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: Janalen Ferston because there's examples in both categories here. You know, 374 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: Tim Williams didn't work out, how do Spowser did? Right? 375 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: Like they were both in Jalen's shoes a year ago, 376 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: two years ago, two years ago, and Tius put up 377 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: five sacks, had a career year, you know, and and 378 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: Tim was gone. So, um, I think it is a 379 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: big year for him. One thing that I thought just 380 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: was interesting, alright, two things. One I thought Brandon Stevens, 381 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, got some reps at safety, the rookie third 382 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: round pick who you know his draft at his cornerback, 383 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: that's what he was at s m U. But Eric 384 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: to Coasta talks after the draft immediately that we think 385 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: he has the attributes to play safety as well. UM, 386 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: So him getting some reps there was I thought interesting. 387 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: You know, it shows me that the coaches agree they 388 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: want to see it. And if he can play corner 389 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: and safety that makes him a very valuable player. That 390 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: adds so much to his value. Um, it's just really 391 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: intriguing to me. And I'll tell you what. Man him 392 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: coming downhill one on one of them. You know you're 393 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: not hitting and there's no contact. The O t a 394 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: s but oh one, oh he would I can't remember 395 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: who caught the ball. It was a tight end. It 396 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: would have been night. It would have been night, night night. Yeah. Yeah. 397 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: I mean he looks like kind of like a running back. 398 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: He looks like a converted running back. And he comes 399 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: and he comes, and he comes downhill fast. So I 400 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: thought that was interesting. The second point Chuck Clark. You know, Chuck, 401 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: Chuck doesn't say a whole lot, you know, in his 402 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: media sessions. But I thought just one funny thing was 403 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, I asked, I asked him about these young 404 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: guys coming on the defense, and he's like, yeah, you know, 405 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 1: some of these guys are gonna have to step up. 406 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: And and he said that he watched the practice film 407 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: of rookie Minicamp. Like Chuck Clark, who's in want to 408 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: see in his six six years six or something like that, 409 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: is watching practice tape from rookie Minicamp, just on his own. 410 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: That is incredible to me. I know, I I that 411 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: wasn't that was I didn't really pick up on it. 412 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: I give you, give you credit. A couple of times 413 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: you show off big j journalist quality. That was one 414 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: of them. You find a little subtle point that a 415 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: player makes and you get a little more info, and 416 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: that was a good one because he's like, yeah, I 417 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: wanted to see what these guys are about, so I 418 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: watched it. I'm gonna guess that a lot of guys 419 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: did not watch that, watching the rookie minicamp talk about 420 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: night night sleep. Yeah, I give him. I give him 421 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: credit for doing that. And that's why, you see, he's 422 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: the leader and everybody you know, wink Martindale calls him 423 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: the heart and soul the defense, like you see it 424 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: right there right, It's like, I mean, it's honestly a 425 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: really good lesson for young players. It's like Chuck Clark 426 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: was the sixth round pick and everyone just said that 427 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: he knew where everyone needed to be at all times 428 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: on defense, and then he ends up getting shot and 429 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: he makes the most of it and now he wears 430 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: all that so it's like, why why did he do that? Oh? Well, 431 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: because he knew where to be at all times. You 432 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: know what everyone's supposed to be doing, so when they 433 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: needed someone to just go in there and just kind 434 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: of settle things down. When Tony Jefferson got hurt a 435 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: few years ago, Chuck did it and did it well 436 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: and he's made a lot of money as a result. 437 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: Totally anyway, a lot more practices to come, more, many 438 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: more takeaways. We'll get you more on the defensive guys. No, no, 439 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: I do want to keep my eye on Patrick Queen. 440 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: I think his development is really important, and some more 441 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: of those edge guys. I think that's important. The last 442 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: the last thing I will say, and I think it's significant, 443 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: is like I just think it's really important that the 444 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: Ravens have. These practices are really big for Patrick Queen, 445 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Leek Harrison, second year guys, Devin Duverne, James per Se. 446 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: They didn't have any of the talked about j K 447 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: do my man. I just feel like like it's kind 448 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: of like secrets out. Everyone knows that's going to be 449 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: a stud um. But but these practices are really important 450 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: I think for these second year guys to dear guys 451 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: even like like I don't want to take that too far, 452 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: but like Hollywood Brown has has never had This was 453 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: his first time at t S. Yeah, in his first 454 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: year he's on the foot. Last year he didn't have it. 455 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: This was HOLI was first. I will say I was 456 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: in wrap up mode there, but we're opening it back up. 457 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: I know. I just want to make a quick point. 458 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: I just want to make that going into another minutes, Sorry, honey, 459 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: I'll be later. Um, Hollywood, look good man. I agree. 460 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: Like you know, he was the physical transformation guy. Last year. 461 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: I had twenty three pounds in two months. That's not 462 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, he couldn't put on another twenty three maybe 463 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: looking like a linebacker look like you um, but you 464 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: know he looks like a racehorse out there. He runs 465 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: like it, you know, I mean has some nice deep catches. 466 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: You see him just accelerate under the ball, sideline grabs. 467 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: I I think the interesting thing with the wide receivers 468 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: and with him is watching the coaching. T Martin and 469 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: Keith Williams are two intriguing guys, and I like the 470 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: way that they're working with these wide receivers. I mean, Keith, 471 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: Keith Williams was closer to us today, so we got 472 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: to hear more of him than T. But you just 473 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: see like the passion and like every single rep, every 474 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: rep he's got some kind of little thing to impart 475 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: on these guys to Hollywood, like use this hand, you know, 476 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: to break through contact, to get through contact, like coming 477 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: out of your brakes. You need it needs to look 478 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: like this, It needs to feel like this. This is why, 479 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: like just high energy, really tangible things that like I 480 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: was like, man, I think I could be a better 481 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: water just listening, you know, like like it was just 482 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: I thought it was really good. And I asked Hollywood 483 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: about it after practice, and he called those two guys amazing. 484 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: He talked about how excited he used to work with them. 485 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: So I genuinely think that's going to make a difference 486 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: for this year's wide receiver. I agree, And and they're 487 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: just like seeing them around the building, they're they're together 488 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: at all times, Tea and Keith, like they are connected 489 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: at the hip. And it's the same thing when they 490 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: get out there on the practice field, like they are 491 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: constantly coaching. And I think it's a really good dynamic 492 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see kind of what the results are. 493 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: It also just enables more guys to get more individual coaching. 494 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: Having two coaches, right, it was kind of a revolutionary, 495 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: kind of just a different kind of thing that John did. Right, 496 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: you have a wide receivers coach, and now you have 497 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: a pass game specialists. Who's really a specialty is just 498 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: route running with all positions. It's not just wide receiver 499 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: but tight ends, running backs. You know, he's gonna work 500 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: on all their route running. But obviously wide receivers is 501 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: the biggest part of that, right, And so just having 502 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: two coaches with so many wide receivers on the field 503 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: enables them to give much more individual coaching to all 504 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, yeah, I really like what those guys 505 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: are doing, and I think that the players seem to 506 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: really be taking to that coaching too. So now we 507 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: can you wrap it up. Now we're done. Biles Baking 508 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: had a good day, guys.
