1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: When you look back on it, You're like, why was

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: this such a surprise. He's a corner from Alabama. We

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: wanted to get a wide receiver. It just didn't match

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: up with our board. You know, I don't think the

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Ravens are in a position where they're going to reach

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: on a guy. But I'm doing my seven round mock

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: next year. I'm gonna trust my instincts. Because I trust

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: my instincts probably would have gone on hump in the

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: first round. Oh yeah, welcome into the post draft lounge.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: We got a lot to talk about here, Garrett. We do.

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean a lot happened over the past week. Ravens

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: makes seven draft picks. Uh, and so it's I mean,

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: it's exciting weekend. You know. They went heavy on defense obviously,

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get to dive into all that. We've

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: got some questions, you know, for fans, we got a

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: lot of emails. You got a ton of emails, believe

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: it or not, a few of the emails actually mentioned

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Wow, I'm shocked. I didn't hear

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: any fans talking about that after our draft. It threw

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: me off, and I saw some emails about a wide

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: receiver come in. But yeah, we got a couple of those.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: And also some people want to know about what we

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: think of our first round pick too. Yes, that's a

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: good one. So why don't you will roll the audio?

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: And won't We got an audio question from John in Hawaii.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Hey guys, this is John from Hawaii and like a

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: lot of Ravens fans, I just finished watching the draft

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: and I got to see Marlon Humphrey, the cornerback from

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Alabama picked for our team, and I was wondering what

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: you guys thought about that pick. I was talking to

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: a friend of mine and he thinks that he's not

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: gonna be doing a lot of playing and that he's

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting on the bench, whereas I think he's

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a great asset to the team. And uh, yeah,

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your thoughts on whether or

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: not you think he's a good pick and how much

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: playtime do you think he'll be getting during this first season? Thanks?

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you John, You are the only

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: one that wanted to talk about Marlon Humphrey. We also

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: got another email, this one from Jamal Galley. Is he

41
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: related at all to Joey Gallows, Joey's younger brother Jamal,

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: no idea if that's actually true. But Jamal says, now,

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: I watch a ton of college football, and I must

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: say that there's a ton of talent. But Humphrey is

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: the only corner I've seen shoot a gap against l

46
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: s U stand up and get a tackle for a

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: loss against the Beast himself, Leonard for neck. Some Ravens

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: fans can say what they want about this young bowl,

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: but I don't want any other d be in this draft.

50
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any other d be in this

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: draft that's able to do something like this. So he's

52
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: super excited about the pick. What do we think? So,

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, John points out that some people are down

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: on the pick. Jamal says kind of something similar, But

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: both of them like to pick. So I'll ask you Ryan,

56
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: what do you think of the pick? And also, before

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: I do that, if you're wondering how you can send

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: in your own audio question or email. The email is

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. Yeah, I

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: like to pick. Uh, you know, I think a lot

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: of people were so prized with Marlon Humphrey being the

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: pick because of the mock drafts, and a lot of

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: mock drafts had him going in the second round for

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: a considerable amount of time. But then late in the

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: draft pre draft process, I think that some of the

66
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: draft knicks and analysts started talking to more NFL teams

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: and they were like, wow, people are high on Marlon Humphrey.

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: You know this guy. A lot of teams really like him.

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: And then he kind of screwed up draft boards and

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: was projected in the days leading up to the draft

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: as a mid first round pick, even ahead of the Ravens.

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Some people I saw taking him to the Indianapolis Colts.

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: So but I think that the reason that he wasn't

74
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: a first rounder in many analysts eyes skewed how people

75
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: looked at that pick. Initially, Oh for sure. I mean,

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: because you look in the mock drafts and it's funny.

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: One of the things I did is the day of

78
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: the draft, I went through every mock draft that I

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: saw that was out there and put together the list,

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: and we did a photo gallery of every player mocked

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: to the Ravens, and there was, like, I don't know, stay,

82
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: twelve guys that were in that list. None of them

83
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: were Marlin Humphrey none of the ram, which is just crazy.

84
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: You think somebody's gonna have him out here because corner

85
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: was a need and the other thing. That's the thing,

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: when you look back on it, you're like, why was

87
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: this such a surprise. He's a corner from Alabama who

88
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: plays real tough a his dad played in at Alabama,

89
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: American first round draft pick. Like you look at it and

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and you're like, how did this take us by surprise?

91
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: We were all talking about how they might take a

92
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: corner in the first or second round. It's just kind

93
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: of crazy. I think that a lot of people, us

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: included probably got kind of You see the moves in

95
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: free agency and you think that maybe corner is not

96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: as big as a need anymore, which is also crazy

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: because if there's one thing we've learned, you need to

98
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: have really good cornerback depth. You know, everyone last year

99
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: was saying get more corners, get more corners. You know,

100
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: if Jimmy Smith gets hurt, this whole defense changes. Well,

101
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: now you put yourself in a position with Humphrey and

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Carr to be able to sustain a loss for

103
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: a short period of time. To Jimmy Smith, Yeah, I

104
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: think that the signing of Brandon Car affected things, and

105
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: we're all like, well, they have the two starters. Now

106
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: Car's not gonna get a in Jurny never missed the start.

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: They're good at cornerback, you know, get one the second,

108
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: third round or whatever. But you know, Brandon Carr and

109
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: I like the Brandon Car signing. But it's not like

110
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: he's a world beater. It's not like you just signed

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: like a pro bowler who's gonna be here for the

112
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: next eight years, you know. I mean, so the Ravens

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: needed a corner, so should be that surprise and the

114
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: future yeah, and now in future, yes, they needed a corner.

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: And the other part that made it a little bit

116
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: surprising to me and I think a lot of fans

117
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: was that when the Ravens were on the clock, you

118
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: had O. J. Howard on the board, you had Jonathan

119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Allen on the board, Reuben Foster, three Alabama guys were

120
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: sitting there, and then the Ravens took a fourth album

121
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: guy that you weren't expecting, uh, you know, because there's

122
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: other three guys were all projected to go ahead of

123
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: where the Ravens were picking. So they all look like

124
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: bargains you know, and when we talk about all the

125
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: pre draft stuff, you're like, well, if the quarterbacks go

126
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and you know, talent gets pushed down the board, the

127
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Ravens can get a real bargain. And that's what looked

128
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: it looked like was gonna happen. It's just that the

129
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Ravens had a different higher grade on Marlon Humphrey than

130
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: everybody else did. They had a different bargain in mind exactly.

131
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: So they still feel like they got a bargain and

132
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: I think they probably did. Time will tell, obviously, but uh,

133
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, to circle back here, I like Marlin Humphrey.

134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I think that the Ravens, like we said, they need

135
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: him now, they need him in the future. He fits

136
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: what they do. He's physical on the edge, uh, and

137
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna really help transform this secondary for years to come.

138
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean it should be him and Jimmy Smith for

139
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: quite some time here locking down that secondary. That's not

140
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: a bad, uh tandem to have, not at all. And

141
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: also he's a young player. He's twenty years old right now,

142
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and so you think that he's gonna be on the ascent.

143
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: And I was impressed with him, like when he came

144
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: in here and you meet him and you meet his family,

145
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: you can see that he comes from great parents. Uh,

146
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: he's the moment was not too big for him at all.

147
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: You know, like he's been playing at Alabama. His dad

148
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: was an NFL player, so like pro bowler and being

149
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: in the big stage, that wasn't something that like caught

150
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: him by surprise. You know, some guys they're kind of

151
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: intimidated by the moment, And I like this, you know

152
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: is obvious, but I like a corner that's got a

153
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: lot of confidence. And he struck me as a player

154
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: that has a lot of confidence. He's not like cocky

155
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: though he seems like very down the earth for just

156
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: a chill dude he is. Now, I do contend he

157
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: keeps saying he didn't cry on his draft day when

158
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: he was picked. When you get on the one knee

159
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: and you start rubbing your eyes, that looks like a

160
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: little yeah. I mean, Marlon Abody, your sister took the video.

161
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: That looks like a little bit of a cry to me,

162
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: I said, so, and that's fine. Cry. I cried, Garrett.

163
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: You cried sometimes if if you were to get drafted,

164
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: do you think you would cry? Bab like a baby?

165
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: I feel like you were saying over the weekend during

166
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: the draft that you wouldn't have cried. Now, I'd like, yeah,

167
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: I probably would too. I mean it's pretty, it's pretty.

168
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's a prettymtion motion moment um. So yeah,

169
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: we're on board with Humphrey. But let's go through some

170
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: of the other things with this draft. I mean, so

171
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: you don't get a receiver, and that's what everyone wants

172
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: to talk about. I was surprised. I was more surprised.

173
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: I definitely thought they were going to draft Ravens did

174
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: not draft a receiver than I was surprised at the

175
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: was draft to more the Humphrey in the first so like,

176
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: but then when you look at it and I think,

177
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: here's what, here's the way you have to look at it.

178
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Let's just take it, you know, a couple of rounds

179
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: at a time. Look at the first round, all right,

180
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I picked in my mocket the Ravens would take Corey

181
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Davis at number sixteen. Well he went five, okay, so

182
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: he was that wasn't gonna happen, so he was gone.

183
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: And then you have three receivers go in the top nine.

184
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Mike Williams won seven, and you had John

185
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: Rosh go nine. So a lot of times and a

186
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: lot of the mock drafts that were out there, I

187
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: thought that maybe only one of those guys would would

188
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: go before the Ravens, and the Ravens would have their

189
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: pick of two or maybe all three of those players

190
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: at sixteen. So I don't want to like, you know,

191
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: everyone's got a mock draft right now. But I think

192
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: one thing that I kind of took away from this

193
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: is when I'm doing my seven round mock next year,

194
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I'm doing it based on what I think.

195
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put too much stock and in looking

196
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: at all of the things that are out there and

197
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: trying to make my decision, I'm gonna trust my instincts.

198
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Because I trust my instincts probably would have gone wrong.

199
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Humphrey in the first round. Yeah, yeah, right. You didn't

200
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: talk about him once in the pre draft prosc But

201
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you brought up the topic of our

202
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: seven round mock drafts before we get too deep into this, because, uh,

203
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: have you paid my dollar yet? I do need a

204
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: Why don't you get out while right now and give

205
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: me my dollar? Because I hit a pick in my

206
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: seven round mock, and you went yeah, I went over

207
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: for I did go over, and I was a lot closer.

208
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: And I know what you're gonna say, who closer doesn't

209
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: mean anything? When are we playing horseshoes? Well, no, he

210
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: went two picks ahead of the Ravens. He could have

211
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: been the guy. Then in the second round, who did

212
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I take the second round? I took the cornerback. I

213
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: took the cornerback out of Florida, took Quincy Wilson, who

214
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: went one pick ahead of the Ravens. Now, obviously the

215
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Ravens were't going to take a corner in the second round.

216
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I have to take the one the first. But had

217
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: they not taken Marla Humphrey Quincy Wilson could have been

218
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the guy. I'm disappointed because I wish both of those

219
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: guys had gotten to the Ravens. That would have kept

220
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: your streak alive of having them had they had an

221
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to take. And then they passed guys that aren't

222
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: even on the board. You don't even you know who

223
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: they didn't pass on Germain, lum, you got your you

224
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: got your Germaine a luminar pick. This is the first time,

225
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy It's great to be on that side

226
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: of things. I've been there so many times. You know,

227
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: I kind of got bored just consistently picking in our

228
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: seven round box correct players. So I wanted to give

229
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: you a little taste of it. So I gave you

230
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: one late round for a dollar that you got lucky.

231
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,119
Speaker 1: What am I gonna spend my dollar on? All right? Um,

232
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: but going back to receiver. Let's go back to receiver,

233
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: all right? So then you're not gonna get one of

234
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: those guys. And they just look through the rest of

235
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: the draft, like second round, second round, you had guys

236
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: like Zay Jones was gone, heard of, Samuel was gone.

237
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Now j J. Smith Schuster was there and we'll find

238
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: out sorry, Jusie smith Schuster was there. But the Ravens

239
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: wanted to get pass rush. They wanted to get pass rush,

240
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: and and Ozzie said specifically, we wanted to get a

241
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver. It just didn't match up with our board.

242
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think the Ravens are in a

243
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: position where they're gonna reach on a guy, you know,

244
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: if if if they feel like they have somebody else

245
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: that's higher ranked on their board, which they said Tis

246
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Bowser was you know, he was the highest guy up there.

247
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna take him. And I don't blame him. I

248
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: don't think the Ravens are so desperate a wide receiver

249
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: or they have to really extend themselves to get somebody. Yeah,

250
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: and you can we can see what happens, you know,

251
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: in free agency, and Quan Bolden is still out there.

252
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: Is that somebody who they go and get. We'll find

253
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: We'll find out if they were going to go and

254
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: get an Kwan Bolden, But I think that that's a possibility. Um.

255
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I mean, and Ozzie has made trades

256
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: in the past two you know, like he went and

257
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: got Chris Gibbons a couple years ago. Now, Gibbons didn't

258
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: come here and like light the world on fire or anything,

259
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: but he has made deals in the past. I mean,

260
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: Jeremy Zudo was a trade. Eugie Monroe was a trade.

261
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: So he he said at the end of the draft

262
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: that he's still working to build this roster and we'll

263
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: see how that plays itself out. Send the Ravens come

264
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: up in the third round, and you know, everybody's like,

265
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: all right, they're gonna take some some offense here are

266
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna take a line and to take a wide receiver.

267
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: We'll look at the board. Cooper Cup goes sixty nine. Overall,

268
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: the Ravens are on the clock at seventy four. Cooper

269
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: Cup goes sixty nine. Then you have center Pat Elfine

270
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: out of High State and guard Dan Feeney. Then wide

271
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: receiver Taiwan Taylor out of Western Kentucky is like a

272
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: slot guy, kind of like a campanero. Uh So you

273
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: have four offensive players that potentially could have been of

274
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: interest to the Ravens based on position and need. Based

275
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: on position of need, they go right ahead of the Ravens.

276
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, those guys w seventy seventy one, seventy two.

277
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: The Ravens are on the clock at seventy four. So

278
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: once again it's like, man, these guys, just these guys

279
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: keep getting picked. Now, I don't know if they would

280
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: have taken them or not, but possibly, I mean, as

281
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 1: he said at the end of the second day of

282
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: the draft, and he was trying to move, there were

283
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: some guys that they were interested in. They got picked

284
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: before they had a chance to get them. And it

285
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: could have been those guys that could have been in

286
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: the first second round, but they had some interest obviously,

287
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: UM I do think it's worth noting and and John

288
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: said this. This is like a little storytime. John said

289
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: this in his press conference. When they're sitting there in

290
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: the draft room, an offensive coordinator, Marty morning Wag is

291
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: in there and he's probably getting a little antsy. He's like, hey, guys,

292
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna get me something here. You've down taken three

293
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: straight defensive players to open things up, and if you're

294
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: there at number seventy eight, I could use a receiver,

295
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: I could use an offensive lineman. I can use whatever

296
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: whatever he wants. And he was the one that came

297
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: over to him and said to the group, you gotta

298
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: take Tim Williams. You gotta take Tim Williams. And that's

299
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: me shows that like this group is that they're committee.

300
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that I haven't been in draft rooms

301
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: for this team or other teams, but I could see

302
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: that being a very contentious situation for some teams. And

303
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: you could have an offensive coordinator saying like, get me

304
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: my guy, and it could be it could be heated

305
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: in there. And the fact that the offensive coordinator goes

306
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: and says you know what, that guy is so good

307
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and we have him rated so high that he's worth

308
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: me not getting my receiver, me not getting my running back,

309
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: or me not getting the offensive lineman. That says a

310
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: you know what. Offensive coordinators also like having the ball.

311
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: So Tim Williams gets a sack punt, Well, now Marty's

312
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: back on the field. Offense is back on the field. Also, shutouts,

313
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators are big fans the other the defense a shutout. Seriously,

314
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: So Tim Williams, you know, just talking about him, that

315
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: maybe is my favorite pick of the whole draft. I mean,

316
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: Bell Keiper said that he had Tim Williams as his

317
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: number one overall prospect before last year's college season started.

318
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how talented this guy was. Now it

319
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: just didn't materialize. And I'll bound from him in terms

320
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: of him becoming a starter. He just, I guess didn't

321
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: prove that he was a good enough run stopper or

322
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: whatever to become a full time guy. Let's not forget.

323
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: They had some pretty nice outside linebackers as well with

324
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Anderson, and they had Jonathan Allen on the defensive line,

325
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: so they had some talented, talented linebackers there and Tim

326
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: Williams has turned into a pass rush specialist. But if

327
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: he can kind of develop his game become more overall. Guy, mean,

328
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about one of the most talented defensive players,

329
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: explosive guys in this draft. To get him in the fourth, sorry, third,

330
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: that's pretty nice, it is. And and so what have

331
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens done. Okay, so now they're gonna be able

332
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: to cover on the back end with the moves they

333
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: made in free agency, and they're gonna be able to

334
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. And and so many times I

335
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: think last season and really for the past couple of

336
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: seasons where there's been breakdowns late in the season, you know,

337
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: whether it's in New England or whether it's in Pittsburgh

338
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, at the root of that a lot

339
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: of times has been the inability to cover and the

340
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: inability to get after the quarterback. And I think the

341
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Ravens have put themselves in position. And people may listen

342
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: to this and they may say, well, you guys work

343
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: for the team. You just have to say this. You

344
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: have to tap the company line. But I think they're

345
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get after quarterbacks. I think they're

346
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna be that's not the company line. That's just a fact.

347
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they have so many pass rushers. Now. You lost

348
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: Dora Bill obviously, but you took Taias Bowers, Bowser, you

349
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: took Tim Williams. They're absolutely going to be able to

350
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. I mean, do Reville obviously has

351
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time. He knows how

352
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: to sack quarterbacks. But there's no doubt that after the

353
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Achilles yeah up there in age. I mean, he wasn't

354
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: super effective last year at the tail end of the season.

355
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: Now you have really fast, really athletically explosive young guys

356
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: once they learned the game a little bit about better.

357
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Bowser is a little bit raw, you know, he comes

358
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: from a basketball background. They can coach him up. He

359
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: can be really good. And Tim Williams obviously has proven it.

360
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: They have so many guys now when you come add

361
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: in Matthew Judan, who had a very nice, drinky season

362
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback. You have Terrell sugs Still, who

363
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: I think he's had a few sacks in his career,

364
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith. You know, so they have a rotation of

365
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: pass rushers now where if they can just disrupt the

366
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: routes at the line of scrimmage and cover a little

367
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: bit on the back end. Those guys are gonna get home.

368
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: So there's no doubt about it. One guy they could

369
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: have taken in the third round and said it to him, Williams,

370
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: I will I'm just looking at the draft. Heres Carlos Henderson,

371
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: my wide receiver right from Louisa, Louisiana Tech. You went

372
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: four picks later, So we'll keep an eye on how

373
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Carlos Henders. That's your that's your standard pick. You know,

374
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: you you take the guy and then we passed on him.

375
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: That's uh yeah. So and let's not forget about Chris Wormley.

376
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, he just doesn't play a sexy position, and

377
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: so he's like he's I don't think he's ever gonna

378
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: be a guy that's like a ten stack guy. You know,

379
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna be what Lawrence Guy has was here. I mean,

380
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: I think he probably has a higher ceiling than Lawrence

381
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: Guy did. I mean Lawrence Guy was. But he's he's

382
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: a run plugger who maybe gets a few sacks a year,

383
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: bats down some passes like that's just the nature of

384
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: the position. He's comparable that the analysts said was literally

385
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Lawrence Guy. So so yeah, but I think Wormley's a

386
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: little bit more athletic than than Guy was. Sure he

387
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: might be, but you know, just think about that front.

388
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: You You've got a lot of big athletic You've got

389
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: Brent Urban in there. You've got Bron Scafusi, who the

390
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Ravens took in the third round last year. You have

391
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: Michael Pierce, Brandon Williams, c J Mosley, Carl Davis, Carl Davis,

392
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: Karmal like Crea maybe in their next to c J. Mosley,

393
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: um likely Henry, Willie Henry fourth round pick from last year,

394
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: so like, and then the pass rushers and Bowser and

395
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Tim will He traded away Timmy Journe again, so you

396
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: lost some of your interior pass rush. He led the

397
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: defensive lineman with sex last year with five. You're counting

398
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: on Wormly. The combination of Wormly picking up some of

399
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: that and Carl Davis, who we had on the podcast here,

400
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Willie Henry and Michael Pierce is going to get some

401
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: more time. So maybe you lost a little bit of

402
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: that interior pressure. But I think Wormley is gonna be

403
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: used in third down pressure situations inside, you know, you

404
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: know what, I can't wait to see how we dial

405
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: up some creative exotic front seven that was third and long.

406
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: I we will not forget thee or even defense that

407
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: had pronomic fee and do Revell Suggs who was Helodi who?

408
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: I feel like there's some other Chris Canty was out

409
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: there too, and he's massive. But they used to just

410
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: dial up that. We were like, oh baby, pass rush

411
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: squad and they they were just moving all around on

412
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: the front end. And I mean this year is it's

413
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: gonna be very similar because how do you shuffle in

414
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: all these pass rushers. I mean, it's gonna be very

415
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: interesting to see how it plays out. So there's another

416
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: side of the ball and we'll hit on the offense quickly.

417
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: Um with the offensive line. My expectation, I think that

418
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: they'll give Sarah Goose a good look at center, see

419
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: if he can play center. Yeah, depending on what they think,

420
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: they'll give him a look. I think he never played

421
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: it in his life. I know he said intramural football, yeah,

422
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: and what the hell is he doing play in the

423
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: intermural football? By the way, in the middle of the season,

424
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: I think he meant like backyard football. Yeah, Well, maybe yeah,

425
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe that's going back the ways. I think

426
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: they'll give him a pretty good look there. I think,

427
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Alex leuisizes out there to right tackle.

428
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: I still think that they're going to add somebody in

429
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and I don't know if it's Nick

430
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: Mangol who everyone points to. That's like the logical choice, right,

431
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: but like it could be a guy like a flat

432
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: of your ducast or even signed him in the middle

433
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: of the season last year after he spent training camp

434
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: and they cut him. Then they re sign him in

435
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: the middle of the season, started the final eight games

436
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: and he played pretty well. So like you can get

437
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: some veteran, particularly interior guard offensive lineman. So maybe they

438
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: go and get a guy like that, but let's they

439
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: know bones about it. The Ravens got more physical and

440
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: BP up front. What I like in my offensive line

441
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of beef. So that's a Nico sirag

442
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: Goosa and Jermaine I Luminar my guy. That's what they

443
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: both bring. I mean, these are big, physical bawlers, and

444
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: that's what I expect the Ravens to kind of get

445
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: to upfront. I mean, they they may know about bones

446
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: about it. When they brought in Greg Roman, we all said, well,

447
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: this is he had downhill physical running attacks, and now

448
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: looking at the guys who they drafted, it matches that

449
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: kind of attack, just bullying some people up front. So

450
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how this running attack changes

451
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: the past protection. Obviously that's a big area. It wasn't

452
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: particularly Sire Goose's strong point. You know, I think he

453
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: can handle the will rush. He's gonna have to prove

454
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: himself against some kind of speed inside speed guys. Um.

455
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: But you know, there's still I think, like you said,

456
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: changes to be made on the offensive line and additions

457
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: because at right tackle right now you're probably looking at

458
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: named by DeAndre Wesley, James Hurst and a luminoar competing

459
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: for that spot or Axilis or Alexis correct. So, and

460
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna have our first chance to

461
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: see the rookies on the field this weekend. They arrive

462
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: here Thursday, so then they take the field on Friday

463
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: for working mini camp Friday and Saturday. We're gonna be

464
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: able to watch that and you're gonna feel for for

465
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: how good these guys are, and we'll just get a sense,

466
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's early, But how do you think wide

467
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: receiver is gonna shake out? I know I think that

468
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: they're still going to add a wide receiver. You think

469
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: it's Bolden. I really wonder about Bolton, Like Bolden just

470
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: makes it seems to make too much sense that it

471
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: won't happen, Like it just seems like it's like the

472
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: easy it's the low hanging fruit, because it's like he

473
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: played here, he's still out there. Everybody loves nine or

474
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: whatever they need doesn't count. He doesn't count against competite,

475
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: story picks a right, Like everyone seems to look at him,

476
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: and it just seems like, oh, that's it's gonna be

477
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: bold But like it just seems too simple. So I'm

478
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 1: cautious that that would be the move. I do think

479
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be another veteran receiver on this roster Calm,

480
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, week one that's not currently on a squad.

481
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: But I can tell you what I think Number one

482
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: and number two is pretty clear Wallace. Wallace and Perriman

483
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: are going to get a lot of runtime. Now if

484
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,239
Speaker 1: they sign Bolden, obviously, you know he's gonna have get

485
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps too. And maybe I don't know

486
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: what that means for Perriman or or whatnot. But uh,

487
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: those guys are going to get a lot of snaps

488
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: this year. And let's not also forget this. I think

489
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: what's getting lost in this whole hubbub of oh they

490
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't draft a wide receiver is the Ravens have a

491
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: million tight ends, a million of them, right, And Dennis

492
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: Pitta is practically a wide receiver at this point. Benjamin

493
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Watson's coming back, He's he could potentially if the Achilles

494
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: is right and he still has good bursts and all

495
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: that stuff, he could be You're starting tight end that flexes.

496
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Dennis put out a lot more where he becomes almost

497
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in the slot or whatever. And underneath

498
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: kind of guy, you have Crocket Gilmore, you have Darren Waller,

499
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: and you have all these guys, Nick Boyle, So don't

500
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: forget that the Ravens have a lot of number of

501
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: pass catching tight ends that can help in the passing game.

502
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: You have the guys on the outside that can stretch

503
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: the field. Wallace and Perimigons stretch it. You have some

504
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: tight ends that can cover some of that first down

505
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: chain moving underneath kind of stuff that Steve Smith did

506
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: so well, you know who else can do a lot

507
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: of that stuff? Who's that Danny Woodhead? Danny Woodhead Yet

508
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: exactly coming out of the backfield, he can new wrinkle

509
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: to that offense and backfield they can kind of they

510
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: can move him around a lot. And Michael Campanero, I

511
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: think is gonna be if he can stay healthy. And

512
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: I always said this is a million times Campanero, but

513
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: we still love him. Still on the way and I

514
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: think that if he if he can say on the field, man,

515
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good. Get him on some more. Get

516
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: he has to catch the ball this this year. I

517
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: think he did three end rounds. He was good every

518
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: single time. But I want to see the guy catch

519
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, he was more of like a glorified

520
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: running back last year. It just took him a long

521
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: way to get to the football and then he get

522
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: ended up getting carried. But yeah, I mean we like

523
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: camp and Era. So look all this stuff. I mean,

524
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: Ozzie said it, and I truly believe that there's gonna

525
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: be a lot of stuff that still happens between be

526
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: four week one, and you know, I think what what

527
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: is going to happen is the Ravens are gonna get

528
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: a look at these rookies during mini camp and during

529
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: football school and O T s and then they'll make

530
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: a decision if they say, you know what, we need

531
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: to add an offensive lineman or we need to add

532
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: a receiver, after they see the guys on the field,

533
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: then they'll get a better indication of exactly what they

534
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: have and they can go and make that decision. Yeah,

535
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I don't think they're going

536
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: to add any more defensive pieces. I think they're set.

537
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: I think their defense are gonna be pretty good. It's

538
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch. I'll tell you any of

539
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: this fans come out to M and T Bank Stadium

540
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: next year for some home games, because it is gonna

541
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: be fun. That place is gonna be jacked up, and

542
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: it is gonna be loud on that defensive on the field,

543
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: and that will be really nice. Let's get that home

544
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: field of manage like the backs of being the best

545
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I'm excited to see that. I am too,

546
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see like an old school Ravens defense.

547
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying that, and I think that this has all

548
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: the potential to be that I'm fine with winning some

549
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: ten nothing games this year. Sure, okay with that, I'm

550
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: okay with that. Just let's just, you know, instead of

551
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: being like good at everything, let's just be dominant at

552
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: one thing. Just whoop some tail on defense, and then

553
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: let the offense. You know, Joe is gonna be Joe.

554
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: Joe is gonna have his moments where he's gonna be

555
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: on fire and he's gonna really get you going, and

556
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some tougher moments. That's just that's what

557
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: we've seen from Joe over the years, and I think

558
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna continue. I think he's gonna be better this year.

559
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: And the offense, you know what, give us a solid

560
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: seventeen a game will be all right. Hey, I like it.

561
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: You got me fired up. Thanks for listening everyone, and

562
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: go ahead and send us your emails at the lounge

563
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: at Ravens on NFL dot net. And also, we need

564
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: to get our reviews up. You know, for a while there,

565
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: the reviews on iTunes were coming in consistently, but we've

566
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: hit a wall. Basically, we ran out of family, family

567
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: members and friends that we could ask. iTunes shut down,

568
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: shut me down from making so many fake accounts to

569
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: just take a radio so you know, the review stops. So, um,

570
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: what we maybe you know what we maybe need to do.

571
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: We need to find a giveaway incentivize this with another

572
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: crappy poster that we're we need to find a good giveaway,

573
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: good one this time. Yeah, and once we reach a

574
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: certain mark, we need to give it away. That's a

575
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: good call, all right, So we'll do the brainstorm that.

576
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: We'll brainstorm what that's gonna be. All right, Well, thank
