00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. We're through a

00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: week and a half of practice week. It's always you know,

00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,440

8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 3: All right?

00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,520

00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: two weeks.

12
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll count this. This is our second full takeaways,

13
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,320

Speaker 2: of paths, first week get pass okay, and this is

15
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: an off day.

16
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Now it's getting really coped exactly. Week two takeaways. Here

17
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: we goes okay, So we're these are week two takeaways, Garrett,

18
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: why don't you kick it off?

19
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 4: Who's stood out to you in week two?

20
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a bunch of guys. I mean

21
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: to me, if I'm beyond just who stood out, if

22
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: I go at a high, you know, big picture level here.

23
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews both talked about the fact that

24
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: they feel like this team is like more locked in.

25
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Laser focus was the term that Mark Andrews said. Lamar

26
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: Jackson talked when he got here that he felt like

27
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: the vibe around the team was different, and John Harpball

28
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: was asked about that this week, and I thought he

29
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: you know, he basically said, like I would lean on

30
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: what the players said. If that's what they're saying, then

31
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: I would. I would, you know second that ye, And

32
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: I think that like that is just a very positive

33
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: sentiment that I get around this team this year, Like

34
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: and I feel like a lot of times coach Arball

35
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: on those things, like I have no idea, it's hard

36
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: to compare one thing to the next, but he kind

37
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: of endorsed it a little bit, you know.

38
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: A little bit when your when your star players. Mark

39
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: Andrews says that you know you're not gonna be like nah.

40
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I think that's true that Mark and Lamar was saying it.

41
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: But I think that it's like you, like John said,

42
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: like they're as a coach, he feels like they're always

43
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: locked in, which I would agree with that. You know,

44
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: you don't really see a John Harball coach team sitting

45
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: there goofing around and you know whatever, not focused on.

46
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're always locked in. It just seems

47
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: like to me, I go back to kind of what

48
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Lamar said previously, Like the vibe feels different, and there's

49
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: just seems to be like this real enthusiasm, excitement, buzz energy, confidence.

50
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: You know they have a really good team. Yes, they

51
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: know they have a really good team.

52
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: And I think they're excited about out what this offense

53
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: can be and Todd Munkin and and on defense they

54
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: have a bunch of dogs, you know, young players ready

55
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: to break out, veterans like.

56
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 4: They know they have a good team. Yeah, for sure.

57
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: And so like when you feel like plus you you

58
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: after what happened last year at the end of the year,

59
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: you know, you got Lamar in a contract, that whole

60
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: situation settled, Like you know, you feel like, all right,

61
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: we got unfinished business and we have the team to

62
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: do it to finish that business.

63
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Right, I think that's like

64
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: to me, I think.

65
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: That's all part of it. I think I just think

66
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: there's like a real sense of confidence about the team,

67
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: and I think they we're seeing that on the field. Yeah,

68
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: I've been impressed. So I think that's like in the

69
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: big picture level.

70
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: Let me let me, uh, you know, you're you're going, definitely, you.

71
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: Want to go in the ways. You want to start,

72
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: you want to dive into the unkelft guard spot.

73
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 4: That's not where I was going. I was just going.

74
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: You're going full purple sunglasses on right now. Just you're drinking.

75
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: You're just gulping the kool aid. It's to size them

76
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: up Week two training camp ways.

77
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: And you're gonna go with the Todd munkin.

78
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: I'm going with the Todd Monk and Tom Monks sent

79
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: am this week.

80
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Tom Monkin's not not you know, as rainbow

81
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: and sunshines as you are right now. He's on the

82
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: flip side. And you know, let's call it, call spade

83
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: a spade. Like I think, let's be real, you know,

84
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: like he says, the offense has a lot of work

85
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: to do. They got ways to go, and like, you know,

86
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't think the offenses look bad or anything like that,

87
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: but like, you know, I think that they're still getting

88
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: comfortable in it. I think that Lamar's throwing the ball

89
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: really well, Like the ball is coming out of his

90
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: hand really well. He's he's just throwing it great, you know,

91
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: like it's gonna it's a process. And Tom Munkin, you know,

92
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: sent that message after Thursday's practice that like, you know,

93
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: we got some work to do.

94
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

95
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: I always it's tough to tell, like is that coach speak?

96
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: Is that I just feeling that it was just coach speak.

97
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: Tom Muggins seems he's like a straight shooter, yes, and

98
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: so it.

99
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Seemed pretty I mean he said like, I mean, you

100
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: flat out said like we're not very good right now.

101
00:03:59,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

102
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: You know he's you know, when he was asked like

103
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: can you evaluate how good this offense is without JK.

104
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: Dobbinson Bateman on the field, He's like, well, we're not

105
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: really good right now, So like it doesn't matter, like.

106
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, not in relation to their absence, right exactly exactly.

107
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: Like he wants it, and he's his point, Like I

108
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: think that it's worth saying.

109
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: It's not.

110
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a lack of confidence in where

111
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: they can go, but like right now, and they have

112
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: a lot of work before he gets ready for the season.

113
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's a month until the season starts, right

114
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: So like that's okay, that's not reason to like, you know,

115
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: don't listen to this and start hitting the panic button,

116
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, But like I thought it was kind of

117
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: a all right, it was a real moment and a

118
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: little humbling, Like there's just been a lot of hype

119
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: around this offense with good reason, got great weapons, he

120
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: got monk In who I think is gonna is, you know,

121
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: doing a great job and it's going to be good

122
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: and all that. But like it was a bit of

123
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: a sobering moment, you know, where he's like.

124
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, like we got a long way to go.

125
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Also it was interesting on practice on Friday.

126
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: He well said that the offense won the day, but

127
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: the guys are still frustrated because there's this like perfectionist

128
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: element that they have, like they're chasing perfection and they

129
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: expect to be really good. So if Lamar misses Mark

130
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: down the field, or if Mark doesn't holand a pass

131
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: when there's you know, Kyle Hamilton right there, like he's mad.

132
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: He like Mark wants to make that play even in practice.

133
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, And that's a good thing, you know.

134
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: Like, and I think Todd Munkin is the same way,

135
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: like he wants it to be perfect, Like you know,

136
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: he draws up and he's like this is the way

137
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: it needs to look right, and it doesn't look that

138
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: way right now, and so like the perfectionists that I

139
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: think he is, also, he's going to feel.

140
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 4: Like we got to get there, you know, we got

141
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 4: work to do, you know what I mean.

142
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that now right now, a couple

143
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: of guys I want to mention that like look good. Yeah, okay, yeah,

144
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: I just mentioned him briefly. But I think Kyle Hamilton,

145
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: I've been really impressed with what I've seen from him

146
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: in the second year.

147
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: That's Marcus Williams there the top, by the way, on

148
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: that Mark play.

149
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: Well, there was two of them.

150
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: Both of them were there, both of them did have

151
00:05:59,320 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: a good day.

152
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kyle Hamilton was there. He was in one on ones,

153
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: like running step for step with Mark and looked pretty

154
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: good there. I think that he was just he's been

155
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: good in general, and I thought that, like we've talked

156
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: a little bit about how there's this fluidity between him

157
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: and Marcus Williams, and Kyle Hamilton's straight upset it this

158
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: week when I asked him about it. He's like, we

159
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: don't really have a free safety strong safety, and we

160
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: can both be interchangeable. And I just think that as

161
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: he makes this transition to more of that true safety role.

162
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: We've wondered how that's gonna look, and I've been very

163
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: encouraged by how he looks so far.

164
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that.

165
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's that was a pretty big storyline,

166
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: that is, I mean, stepping into Chuck Clark's role. Chuck

167
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: Clark's played a pretty big role on this team over

168
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: the past several years. And for him to just step

169
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: in there and be playing at this level, and you know,

170
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: he's a different kind of player than Chuck. You know,

171
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: he's a much bigger, longer player, like maybe he can

172
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: offer you know, he offers a different skill set than Chuck,

173
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: and I think the ability to be a little bit

174
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: more of a center fielder at times and kind of

175
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: be that rangy guy over the top on that long throw,

176
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, long throw as the mark, but still be

177
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: able to match up too. Like he just by virtue

178
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: of him being a Swiss army knife allows you to

179
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: do so much more, I think than the Ravens could

180
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: even do with Chuck Clark, who was a very good player.

181
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so I've been impressed. And then you want

182
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: to talk receivers.

183
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, actually I wanted to talk about a different

184
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: position group, and I thought the running backs, and I thought, oh, interesting,

185
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: what John Harball said about Todd Mounkin's scheme and how

186
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: they're going to use running backs was interesting.

187
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: You know, you talk about the offense winning the day on.

188
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: Friday, Well, they didn't really hit much down the field

189
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: at all, and that's kind of been a theme of

190
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: training camp. Is like getting all out of Lamar's hands quickly.

191
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot of short stuff. And I think the

192
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: way that they won the day on Friday was by

193
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: hitting a lot of that short stuff.

194
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: And Todd Munkin even talked about it too.

195
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: And so what it is is in a Greg Roman offense,

196
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: there really wasn't a checkdown. He had said on multiple occasions,

197
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the checkdown. If Lamar doesn't have Mark

198
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: or one of his wide receivers open, it's a run situation, right,

199
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: and you can count on Lamar even in that situation getting.

200
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: Five generally speaking or whatever.

201
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: And that's why Lamar Jackson, in part, just beyond the

202
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: scripted quarterback runs, just had a lot of attempts. Yeah, right,

203
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: he had a lot of rushing attempts in part for

204
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: that scramble situations, right, I don't think, you know, there's

205
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: still going to be some scramble scrambling by Lamar Jackson, certainly,

206
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: but before it gets to that, I think there's going

207
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: to be checkdown options for him.

208
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 4: Like Todd Munkin even talked about it. It was like, you know,

209
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: we don't.

210
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Need to force the ball to Mark and play backyard

211
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: football and try to get the ball to Mark when

212
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: things break down.

213
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: There are other options. We need to find those other options.

214
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of that I think is the running backs,

215
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: Like they're just going to get more balls in checkdowns,

216
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: not just checkdowns, but just designed you know, plays where

217
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: the ball goes.

218
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: To the running back in the passing game.

219
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: And we saw that in Friday's practice and really we've

220
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: seen it throughout training camp. Yeah, the running backs have

221
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: caught a number of ball and John Harball said, you know,

222
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: Gus can catch the ball like you see it, Justice

223
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: Hill can catch the ball.

224
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: Melvin Gord can catch the ball.

225
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: JK.

226
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: Dobbins when he gets back on the field, we he

227
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 4: can catch the ball.

228
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing on JK. On the in the

229
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: passing game. I do think that that is one area

230
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: that I wonder how quickly he will adapt to that.

231
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: I think he's got good hands and he can do that,

232
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: and I think that's an element of his game that

233
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about. But I think that like in

234
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: this new offense that takes repetition. I think that like

235
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: knowing where to go and those checkdown routes and being

236
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: in the right place and getting a feel with the

237
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: feel with Lamar.

238
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: I think that that's a new thing for offense.

239
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: Like I don't really have worry run about the running ball.

240
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: I think will be there are some different differences, but

241
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't think.

242
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: JK will probably say I can catch the ball. But

243
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: it's a little different than that, Like there's there's a

244
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: little more nuance that in a new offense. I think

245
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: it's not just being able to do it, not being

246
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: athletically able to do it, which I think he is.

247
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: Like, I agree with you, I think that takes some reps.

248
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that you got to you got

249
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: to have that familiarity with Lamar and that is like

250
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: a new element this offense. Like that's one of the

251
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: biggest changes for the backs yep. And so I'll be

252
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: curious there, But I do agree. I think like I've

253
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: liked what I've seen from Justice Hill so far. You know,

254
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,479
Speaker 2: like he was under the radar re sign this offseason

255
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: and you know going into this year like he could

256
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: end up playing you know, pretty important role. So I've

257
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: been I've been encouraging him with him.

258
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Can I just talk about the inside linebackers, inside linebackers, nos,

259
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: across the board. Just yeah, you just like you're not

260
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: just talking about the top two. I'm not just talking

261
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: about Queen and Rokuan. Like it's a good, really good group.

262
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: And and you know when you're sitting here talking about

263
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: del Shawn Phillips, right, we had him on our Biggest

264
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Surprises pod, and.

265
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: Like, dude just continues to play plays.

266
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna play fifty percent of the

267
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: defensive snaps or something, but like continues to make plays.

268
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Trenton Simpson unfortunately he's dealing with a soft tissue issue.

269
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: But like you know, there's really it starts with Roquan

270
00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: and Queen.

271
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: They look like no out there.

272
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: I mean they're the core of this defense. Yes, they're

273
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: the foundation. Like this is one of those defenses with

274
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: those two in the middle. Like it starts in the

275
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: middle and they go, but they're good. They're good on

276
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: the outside too with Marcus Williams and Marlin Humphrey, like they're.

277
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: Just they're good, good cross the board, down the middle.

278
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: They are really strong.

279
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Like I the question is obviously are corner especially now

280
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: with Rocky Scene, you know, dealing with an injury.

281
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: John Harvell said his short term you know, we'll see

282
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: for sure.

283
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: I mean, when you have an open competition for a

284
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: starting cornerback spot, you know, we haven't had that the

285
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: past couple of years.

286
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

287
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Really, I mean Marcus has come back from the injury

288
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: last year, so it was a little bit different, but

289
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: like that's the first for the Ravens.

290
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: In a little while. Yeah.

291
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: And and number three, as I've talked about a lot,

292
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: your favorite.

293
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: You want to talk about it the game because I'll

294
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: do it well.

295
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: The cornerback thing just to I mean, I agree with

296
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: you on linebackers. I've been super impressed with those guys,

297
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: but with cornerback, like to me, things changed this week

298
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Rocky Scene gets hurt practice. Like you said, John Harbo

299
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: says it's not a serious long term thing, but also

300
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: didn't give a timeline in terms of when he's going

301
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: to be back, so you know, maybe he's back soon

302
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: and you know next week, it's all forgotten. But the

303
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 2: fact that he isn't there has opened the door for

304
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Armor Davis to get snaps with the first team.

305
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: He's opened the door for Brandon Stevens. He's opened the

306
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: door for other guys to step up. Yep. And I

307
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: don't know that like anyone is really like I wouldn't

308
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: say anybody has like seized that role in the event

309
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: that this injury with Rocky sine Lingers.

310
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think it's a why are you open competition?

311
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: Like Jalen Armor Davis, I like his potential. I think

312
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: he has talent. I think that he has impressed at times.

313
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: He's gotten beat at times, just as any corner does.

314
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: But I still think that like that, that to me

315
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: is one of I think if I'm saying the biggest

316
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: question on the team right now, I think it might

317
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: be that number two cornerback spot with this injury to.

318
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 4: Rock Yeah, number two and three, it's corner.

319
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: Don't forget about three before you worry about three, Before

320
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: you worry about two, you gotta worry about number three.

321
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: Three.

322
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, cornerback is you know we've talked about the left

323
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: guard is the best competition in training camp. I think

324
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: cornerback has surpassed it. That's the best competition right now

325
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: at Ravens training camp. And honestly, like that is.

326
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: A very, very probably more significant too.

327
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't want to throw a shade

328
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: at left guard, but like you know, you're between Ronnie

329
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Stanley and Tyler Lindabaum, like you're probably gonna be okay.

330
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line, whoever wins left guarded spot,

331
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really good, you know. But if a

332
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: cornerback doesn't step up and kind of take the reins

333
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: as the number two starting corner, yeah, I've got some concerns.

334
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree. I mean that can be season

335
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: at Yeah, I mean, that could be season altering for

336
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: a defense. Now, I think the Ravens have the pieces.

337
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: Like I'm not I'm not totally pushing the panic button

338
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: because I do have confidence in this and like the

339
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: pieces that are there. But you just got to see it.

340
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: And this is an opportunity now, you know, to see it.

357
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: we can't talk enough about receivers. I love, I really

358
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: love what I'm seeing from Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham,

359
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: really both.

360
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to get to Nelson Aguilar

361
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: too that week two Takeaways.

362
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: Nelson's had Nelson has had good, but I feel like

363
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: it's almost like we're always looking for like, you know,

364
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: it's it's kind of like when we did the surprise podcast,

365
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: We're like, nah, I'm not even surprised by Zay Flowers.

366
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: I just expect it. But I just like when I

367
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: what I've seen from Zay through the first two weeks

368
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: of camp and Odell and Nelson, but I'll sort, you know,

369
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: really focus on Zay and Odell, like I really like

370
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: what I've seen from those two guys. I just think

371
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: that like, Zay to me, looks like the real deal.

372
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: Peter King's impressed too.

373
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: Peter King said he looks better than any working that

374
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: he's seen a camp.

375
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 4: Well, he's only been to five other ones.

376
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: Well that's that's four others.

377
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: That was that was the you know, you put out

378
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: the headline then you whisper that one. He's only been

379
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: the five other ca.

380
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: Well, hey, anyone else in those four other camps?

381
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: I think five five five five others five others? We

382
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: were six okay, okay, no short change it now, all right, yeah,

383
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: all right? And he's been the Steelers, Bengals, Browns. I

384
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: don't know actually which one, but like, yeah, I mean

385
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: I agree, Zay is all Zay's awesome, and I think,

386
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, just so we're not just sitting here like

387
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, rainbows the sunshine again, the whole pod. Like

388
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: I do think it was interesting when uh he was

389
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: he's been roasting people in one on ones, you know. Uh,

390
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: but Kevon Seymour bodied him up on one, got up

391
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: on him and just locked him up in the line

392
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, I mean, like ended the route right, and

393
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: like all right, Like that's gonna be a challenge for

394
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: day in the NFL.

395
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: Like you're a five nine.

396
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: He's a five nine receiver, yep, you know, and like

397
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: he's he's lightning fast and all that stuff. But like

398
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure cornerbacks are gonna come up and try to

399
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: challenge him and say, you know what I'm gonna I'm

400
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna body you with the line of scribage and I'm

401
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: not gonna let you get loose and juke me all

402
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: over the place and rub bast me.

403
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: Now it's up to Zay to be able to beat that.

404
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: That's what I'm sure his coaches are working on him,

405
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: uh with you know, working on with him, and I

406
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: think he'll I think he'll certainly get there and have

407
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot of success. But like you know, that was

408
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: something that in practice like caught my attack. It's like

409
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: all right, like that next challenge, challenge accepted.

410
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: I'm sure, well kameon. Seymour got little shout out for

411
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: John Harball and Friday. Well, yeah, like he got a

412
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 2: little shout out from him as a dB that has

413
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: kind of made the most of his opportunities, not just

414
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 2: in camp but over his time here in Baltimore, and

415
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 2: Hardball likes him. I mean he's primarily been a special

416
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: teamer in his career, but I mean he could end

417
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: up being somebody that the Ravens count on at times.

418
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, well, when you're talking about the cornerback competition,

419
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, like a six cornerback spot or something like,

420
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: Seymour's putting a stamp on it. Yeah, just like Delseean

421
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: Phillips kind of you know, you talked about the fourth

422
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: inside linebacker.

423
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: Who's going to make the team.

424
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: When you're talking about who's making the team, like those

425
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: veterans playing well on not just special teams like that

426
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: makes a case.

427
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: This is our time to promote that you Pick the

428
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: Team podcast and you Picked the Team contests presented by MedStar. Yeah,

429
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: to check that out. You can make your predictions on

430
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: who ends up on the fifty three mins roster. We

431
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: will ultimately do.

432
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 4: It early if you do it real early.

433
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Basically like if there's a tie, then whoever ends

434
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: up getting theirs in first the earliest ends up winning there.

435
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: So like there's benefits of waiting guys get hurt or whatever,

436
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: but there's also benefits of doing it early. It's this

437
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: but uh, but just with the receivers, like was Jay.

438
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: It's not like he's hitting these down the field plays,

439
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: but I I've liked his ability to like hit like

440
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: a quick seven yard out. I think that he's been

441
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: like really good in that part of the field, good corner.

442
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: So you talk about the short passing game that I

443
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: was discussing earlier, with the running backs and stuff like

444
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Zay is gonna be I think a pretty big part

445
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, like crossers all that stuff like he

446
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: is And there was one just shallow crosser that I

447
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: watched him on.

448
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 4: It was just like good night, yeah to whoever has

449
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 4: to try to cover that.

450
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: And then you get some of the whip routes. You know,

451
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: he starts on the crosser and just whips back to

452
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the sideline. And oh good, dvs are going to be

453
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: tripping over themselves on that route, like.

454
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 4: There is no way.

455
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: There's no way.

456
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: When you're trying to run with him on a shallow

457
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: crosser and he stops on a dime and tries to

458
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: cut it back, there gonna be looking silly.

459
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, it's gonna be Lamar Jackson like highlights.

460
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: I agree, I'm with you on that. So that's that's

461
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: and and OBJ continues to look good. I think, yeah,

462
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: all right, Well the purple hair, I mean, god, he's

463
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: got new hair, right, the purple hair.

464
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, it was getting pretty light. It

465
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: was almost whitish, you know, which I thought. You know,

466
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: he starts to age him a little bit. Now he's

467
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: going purple, and now I'm like, yes.

468
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of like a lavender when he

469
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: first got here, and now it's clear purple. Yeah. The

470
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: other thing we I like. I like this defensive line.

471
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: I thought Chuck Smith had some really good things to

472
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: say about Justin Adebike, who I think is going to

473
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: be like and under the radar, really important piece of

474
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 2: this team, really important piece of the team. And we

475
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: actually got this email. You can email us at the

476
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. Ian Armor emailed

477
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: us and said, I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada. Nice and

478
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: I've been a diehard Ravens fan for fifteen years. I've

479
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 2: done the seventeen hour drive each way each way to

480
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: see some Ravens games. That is That is commitment, my friend.

481
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: We love that, Ian, so thank you for doing that.

482
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: And Ian's question is about pending free agents. For the

483
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: guys who are going to be twenty twenty four free agents,

484
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: who would you most like to resign? And his would

485
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: be Mattabek, But I also think Broderick is likely so

486
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: PQ that.

487
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 4: I mean, there's there's a list of guys there.

488
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: I think there is a good list. I think that

489
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: Mattabek would probably be right now at the top of

490
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: that list potentially.

491
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, most like to resign, not we

492
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: think he's most like Lee to who would you most

493
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: like to resign? And be who's most likely to resign?

494
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I would like to resign all of them.

495
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Matta Bak.

496
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: If he goes out there and he had five and

497
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: a half sacks last year, I think he's gonna have

498
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: even more this year, Like if he goes out there

499
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: and gets seven eight nine exactly.

500
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 4: I think he was like, I keep writing down my

501
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: goals and then I scratched him off basically, and I'm like, no,

502
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 4: it's not high enough. Yeah, and I got I got

503
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: a little higher. Then it's not quite Still.

504
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: He wouldn't reve what the exact number is, but like,

505
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: I bet he's thinking, like, could I get double digits.

506
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: He's definitely thinking double digit And if.

507
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 2: He gets double digits acts and he's going to get

508
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: a massive contract, a massive contract an interior defensive lineman

509
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: who can get that type of production that is big money.

510
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: So I think that like if, if, if he has

511
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: that kind of production, then it would be hard not

512
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: to resign him. But at the same time, it would

513
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: be really difficult to keep it. So I think that

514
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: Mattabek could be the guy. That's my answer to that question.

515
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would like to resign. I mean

516
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: I just got done talking about.

517
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: The dogs in the middle of the defense with Rokelaw

518
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: and PQ, so have hard time.

519
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: I would love to keep PEQ a hard time saying

520
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 4: bye bye. You know what I mean?

521
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: JK Dobbins is going to be a free agent, you know,

522
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean what you know, I'm on the record also

523
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: saying I think he could have a monster season. Hmmm,

524
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: that is a tough one.

525
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna I'll go Peq that I would like to.

526
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: I just think, man, if you have Roquan and Peek

527
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of this defense for years to come,

528
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: that's that's a good group.

529
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 4: That's a very good group. And yeah, most likely to resign.

530
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're talking like kind of the big

531
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: name guys, Yeah, it's hard.

532
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: I think.

533
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: I think I Laderic does feel like maybe a right

534
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: player right price, but he's really been I mean, is

535
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: you know what kind of contract could he get?

536
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: He could get a big one.

537
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: I know when we did when we talked about this

538
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: previous year, I said that one of those two guys

539
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: I feel like could end up getting the contract. And

540
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: it's hard to pick between them, and I would love

541
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: to keep them all. But yeah, I think I think

542
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: that I think that Mattabik has potential for massive payday

543
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: if all goes according to plan this season. Yep, and

544
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: the Ravens are thinking that that could be the case,

545
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: and so is Madibik.

546
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: If all goes according to plan, it all goes right,

547
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to have a lot of twenty

548
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: twenty five comp picks.

549
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think they want to keep some of

550
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: these guys too.

551
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I agree, but I I just if

552
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: it all goes right, you can't.

553
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't. It's impossible.

554
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: You just can't.

555
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,040
