Yeah, j K. Dobbins. 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: Now we have the first round pick, Patrick Queen. Good stuff. 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm expecting good stuff from Patrick. Yeah. Absolutely, It's fun 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: to catch up with these guys. I mean, this is 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: uh I think for them. They go through the rookie season, 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 1: if you go back a year from now, they were 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: sitting at the combine and trying to catch everyone's attention 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: and impress everyone. And so now when they go through 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: the season like they're just trying to keep their head 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: above water. When they go through a season, they draft happens, 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: and leading up to the draft is like constant work, 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: and then they basically show up right after that and 28 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: they're going until the season ends. So uh, now that 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: they've had a little bit of time to kind of 30 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: decompress and relax, um, I think this is a good 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: chance to catch up with them. And I'll be curious 32 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: to see what Patrick has to say about his rookie season, 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: what he thought how it went, and what expectations he 34 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: has moving forward. I just realized I forgot to term 35 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: my camera on, and I actually preferred it with your camera. 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, are you happy? Happy with it? 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: Back on? Now? That was? That was great. I was like, 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: I think, I think we're just gonna do this thing 39 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: without mix cameraon. I'm cool with that. I still have 40 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: the muting on muting problems. You know, we're in We're 41 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: a year in on COVID. Still can't find the mute 42 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: mute button. Yeah, you're it's like when i'm you know, 43 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to talk to your grandmas on like that. 44 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I'll give a quick story, put story, funny one on this. 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: So my wife and I were on like a zoom 46 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: call for our daughters next school, right, and I turned 47 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: to Kristen and she's like right next to me on 48 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: the computer and I say, man, your breath stinks and 49 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: front of the whole school. It was a rough one one. 50 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure that what was the reaction to that? Her reaction, well, 51 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: her her reaction on camera and probably off camera was 52 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: even different. Yeah, I can't remember what she said, so 53 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: I think it was something like, well you made dinner 54 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: tonight or something like that. Yeah, but yeah, I was 55 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: still trying to figure this whole thing out, you know 56 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: when you're in right, Well, great segue from there.

Really? All right, now, I'm 86 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: gonna guess that there's not great cell phone reception out 87 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: on the It looks like what is that swamp? What 88 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: are you fishing on out there? Look? Little lake, little lake, 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: Donald Louis. I can't say, gonna try to steal the spot. 90 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta keep it hitting, you gotta keep 91 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: it hitting facts always. You look. You look like you're 92 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: a pretty darn good fisherman. I try. I try. Uh, 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: My friend the Coda Walters put me on fishing and 94 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: stuff with the bass and stuff and there ever since then, 95 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't stop. So we've been late the lake trying 96 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: to find them bas find this spot to day? So 97 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: I can't plane alright, So so one more fishing question. 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: Do you catch and release? You hook and cook? What 99 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: do you do here? Anything over about four and a 100 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: half five released back? Probably probably over three and a half. 101 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: I probably released back anything smaller keep and you, uh, 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: how are you? How are your cooking skills with that fish? 103 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: For late fish? When I get home, probably grilled. I 104 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: like a grill. Most people fried down here. I like, 105 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: it's a little limit and little pepper. All right, all right, 106 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: all right, wait, I got I got one more fishing questions. 107 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: How we're not done? We probably got about thirty minutes fishing. 108 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: I you know, you know there when you watch fishing 109 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: on TV, right, I mean some of those guys are 110 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: kind of nutballs. You know, they're kind of nut jobs 111 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: out there. Like when you catch a fish, do you 112 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: give that like the big like you know, like is 113 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: it the same intensity that you see on the football 114 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: fe what's it like? It's not the same intensity. I 115 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: guess they take it so much serious because there's so 116 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: much money on the line and so much like status 117 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: on the line. I guess that's why they take it 118 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: so serious. Like I watched Mike i Canelli a lot, 119 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: and like I remember one time, like it was like 120 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a heated tournament. He missed it, got it up and 121 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: then missed it and he literally slammed his pole on 122 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: the side and broke the pool and half and I 123 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: would I would never get that, man. I don't care 124 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: because one fish that they would not get that man. 125 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: That's great. Wait, I just thought have another all right, 126 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: so the fans might not know this but we have 127 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: like a little pond, you know out back by the 128 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: football fields at the on our reformance center. Have you 129 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: caught some some nice fish in there? Like they stock 130 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: that stop? Um. When I first got there in the summer, 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: I think it was like late July. I was catching 132 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: a lot during that time. Again brown October, they stopped 133 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: biting and stuff, and then I know, I haven't even 134 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: seen it swung by, like the shallow parts, so I 135 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: don't know if they moved out to the middle of 136 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: it or what. They had some nice, nice pretty fishing 137 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: that all right. I was wondering if you had been 138 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: out there, because you know, I know Marlon and Marcus 139 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: would go out there, but as a rookie, I didn't 140 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: know if you had to kind of earn your stripes 141 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: before you got out there in the pond. So they 142 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: will want me on the at the same time, it 143 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: slf all right, Marla Kennis, Oh, he wouldn't you try 144 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: to take him out. I'll try to take him out, 145 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: messing on Twitter so everybody to see maybe give him 146 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: a little you know, answ you to go and would 147 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: not go be scared. That's great, that's great, al right, 148 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: So I guess that's I got to the end of 149 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: my fish questions there. Uh, I guess we should talk 150 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: a little football while we got you. You know, just 151 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: looking back on the rookie season. We had JK. Dobbins 152 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks ago and talk to him 153 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: about his rookie season. When you look back on your 154 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: rookie year, how do you what do you kind of 155 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: take away from it? Y'all started off hot, and I 156 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: let off, but not let off that I like that 157 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to. It's just stuff happens. Then as you 158 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: look back and look back at it now, it's just 159 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: like it's so much more that I could have did 160 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: and stuff. Uh, you know, you can't go back. But 161 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: I got a chance to be better and a chance 162 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: to ill did what I did the last season and 163 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: dot with the whole season. So the whole thing is 164 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: just like a skyrock and a thing of me. And 165 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: it's like every season I always dominate and get better. 166 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: Got a phone ring into the back. Uh yeah, that 167 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: sounds like some fishing sound. That sounds like something that 168 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: attracts the big trap, you know. So so when you 169 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: say that, you feel like you kind of the let 170 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: off as the season went along, Like did you feel 171 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: that in the moment or as is it sort of 172 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: as you take a look back at it, that's how 173 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: you look at it. I think because I started off 174 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: so hot and that if I was to have a 175 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: mediocre game, it was just like I started pressing, like 176 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: I want to make this play, I want me to play, 177 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: and then you start thinking too much. When you start 178 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: thinking too much, he started playing Chense and then I 179 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: felt like I just like I got on my game 180 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: because I was trying to do too much instead letting 181 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: the game come to me. That still you learned with experience, 182 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: and like it was just different coming from college, Like 183 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: when you want to make a play, make a play, 184 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: like it wasn't hard and it's like the NFL, you 185 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: just gotta play in the deference playing the scheme. The 186 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: same thing with college, but it's like it's even more 187 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: strict now because like if the NFL is the best 188 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: of the best, like you like you gotta be on 189 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: point with your team. So I think it's just the 190 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: point of me being relaxed, playing with experience and just 191 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: getting better. Yeah, that's gonna be tough for somebody that 192 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: you know was such a playmaker in college and you 193 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: come into the NFL and you know you're billing. What 194 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about is like, oh, this guy's a playmaker, 195 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: you know. So I can imagine it's hard when you 196 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: come in and you're like, all right, that's what everybody's expecting. 197 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: You know, I gotta come out and I gotta get 198 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of sacks, I get tackles for loss, I 199 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: gotta you know, do all that stuff. That's gotta be 200 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: kind of a tough adjustment. It's really not because like 201 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, whoever is on that field, 202 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: at the end of they probably wants to be better 203 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: than what they are. Like everybody wants to be great. 204 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to like being a legend and the end 205 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: and if you're not, your play would probably tell that. 206 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: So that's my whole thing. Like I never like stressed 207 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: about just like sax and tackles and all this. It's 208 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: just like I stressed about being a legend in the end, 209 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: and I guess there's a whole process behind that. So 210 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: I just gotta take my time, take a day by day, 211 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: just grind it out until our breast their status. So 212 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: when you look at it, if you were to kind 213 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: of point to an area where you feel like you 214 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: you need to take the biggest strides this offseason. What 215 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: would that area be? I think just getting stronger, a 216 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: whole lot stronger, and just once I nailed down the 217 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: rock concepts, I feel like my game is just gonna 218 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: transcend so much because it's like it's it's so simple, 219 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: but it's so far away from being like a college 220 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: playing the roadside, you wouldn't get that many three man 221 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: rock concepts. And then you go to NFL, youre and 222 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: Mike position. You gotta be with the nickel all the time. 223 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: It's three man rock concepts way harder enough to row concepts. 224 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: So um, it's just like I said, that experience and 225 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: just in the ferroom and learning everything that's probably gonna 226 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: be the biggest key. Yeah, that was one thing I 227 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: felt like a lot of people talked about with you. 228 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: Your rookie season is like playing going forward. You know, 229 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: everything was awesome. It was kind of understanding what's going 230 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: on behind through Like how much did you feel like 231 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: you learned that as the key season went on? And 232 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: do you feel like, hey that with just more time 233 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: to film room, that's gonna come together I felt like 234 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: during the last probably like five six games besides the 235 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: one touchdown, Like, but I feel like everything improved a 236 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: lot because like in the beginning of season one on one, 237 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: I was getting beat because I was just thinking too 238 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: much now playing my game and just like just getting 239 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: burned left the right. And then the last five games 240 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna go out here to do what 241 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: I do, like just bawling out and just playing in 242 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: the defense. So it's not it's nothing that I can't 243 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: do on the field. So I feel like this season 244 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: just locking in watching film even more than what I did, 245 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: um getting with coach, watching extra stuff, just learning the 246 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: round concepts. It's gonna be big. It's you know here 247 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: you talk about it, you know it sounds like we're 248 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: really dump it on your rookie season. Here. I felt 249 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: like it was pretty decent here. I felt like, I 250 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: understand you want to improve. I understand it all that 251 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: you started every game had let the team of tackles, 252 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: Like there's a lot to take it positive from this. 253 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: And I guess my my favorite thing watch you play 254 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: is I feel like you just play with there's so 255 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: much speed and energy, Like that's what I That's what 256 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: stands out to me. Can you talk about that a 257 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: little bit. I just feel like like that's like I said, like, 258 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: if you're out there and you don't want to be remembered, 259 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: if you're a little game and it's something, if it's 260 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: not something behind your game that you want to leave behind. 261 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: He's is all different tho reasons like I always try 262 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: to be the best teammate, always try to show the most, 263 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: Like after every place, I can guarantee if you watch him, 264 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: after every play, I'm helping my teammate. Look if they're 265 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: on the ground, I'm always celebrating with him. I'm always 266 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: celebrating something on the field because I just that's how 267 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: I want to be remembered a great teammate. M Right, 268 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned your coaches, and now you have a new 269 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: inside linebackers coach. You know, Rob Bryan, Mike McDonald great coach. 270 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: I think Rob Bryan's gonna bring a little different energy. 271 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: He seems like a little different of a coach. How 272 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: do you think that Rob could kind of help you 273 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: take your game to the next level. He's been there, 274 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: done that. Older guy, you know, he's seen it all. 275 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: So I feel like it's just a little bit more 276 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: experience that he got add onto my game, like stuff 277 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: that he can help me out, point me in the 278 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: right direction and stuff and helped me become the player 279 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: that I want to be because he coached great linebackers 280 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: with a great coach. Um. So it's as it can 281 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: only go from here, honestly, right, What kind of coach 282 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: do you like? Do you? Mike was like the nicest 283 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: guy you know and like cool calm. Rob's gonna you 284 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: may hear a few f bombs. I feel like there 285 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: might be a few this year. You like that kind 286 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: of coach, I'm finally whatever kind of coach like Mike. 287 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: Mike was full calm and relaxed at the same time, 288 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: like here too, y'all in the second like thing about it. 289 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: But I feel like Rob's always gonna be high and 290 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: edgy and like I mean, I can't complain about any 291 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: type of coach. As long as you out there trying 292 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: to help me be better, I can't complain at all. 293 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: I had a chance to meet Rob a couple of 294 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and he's got such like kind of an 295 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: infectious personality and brings energy and all that. I think 296 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: he's going to be a perfect fit in him. Awaker 297 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: great friends. One thing he told me that was interesting 298 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: about you and was that, you know, he knows that 299 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: you've already this offseason requested to get more tape and 300 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: trying to really study the film piece of that. You know, 301 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I know you guys haven't had 302 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: a chance to really meet or anything like that. But 303 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: he's like, I know he's working that he wants to 304 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: learn and really add to the mental side of the game. Uh, 305 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: tell me about that. It's just like everything courtless. So 306 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: if you're not working this off season, like on some 307 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: part of your game, like even if you're not lifting 308 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: right now, like I'm lifting, but I'm doing like lifting 309 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: until I go down to and train with more. But 310 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: if you're not like at least doing one part of 311 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: your game right now, then you just the same player 312 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: or even worse. So that's why I'm just trying to 313 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: get heavy film right now, get some light workouts and 314 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: that pick it up once I get my and just 315 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: trying to Like people don't understand the type of player 316 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be, so I'm just I don't talk 317 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: about it too much. He's just like when it happens. 318 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: It happens. So I'm just I'm just reading. Man, I 319 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: can't I can't wait right now, you're lifting all those 320 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: fish kind of work on those box pros, all the 321 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: quarterfied poles add up. Uh So, one thing I saw 322 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: this all season is your reaction to your third place 323 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: finish in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. It 324 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: seemed like, you know, you weren't exactly thrilled with that finish. 325 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: Uh you take me into that, that feeling, that emotion, 326 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: what you're thinking. Then I wasn't so mad that I 327 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: was third, because third third to be Defensive Rookie of 328 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: the Year of standards and the third as how I 329 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: fell off at the end of the season. You know, 330 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: you can't read of them playing because I did that. 331 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: I did fall off a little bit, but it's like 332 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: all the stuff that I did in the beginning of 333 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: the season, and like I finished third the Defensive Rookie 334 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: of the Year, and you didn't even like they showed 335 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: Chase highlights which were great. You showed Jeremy Chanier highlights 336 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: were two great, and you showed Antwine. But I was third, 337 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: so it wasn't my highlight That's what I really think 338 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: my highlights, what I did wasn't on display for like 339 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: all the work that I put in during the season. 340 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: So that's what I was really pissed that. But um no, 341 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: I heard that simple. So it's only one of of 342 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: the war. You could get enough after that. So how 343 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: do they how do they not show you when you 344 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: track down Joe Burrow and clover them from behind to 345 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: force that play? That was the best. That was the best. 346 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: It was crazy, and I've seen Joe running around. I 347 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: was like, man, I don't want hit him that hard 348 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: out Like I got to your top play from your 349 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: rookie year. I think I feel like my top play 350 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: from my rookie year was the strip on Nick Chu 351 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: because it was just like so like random, like my 352 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: hands just ended up like in between his chest and 353 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: the ball and just like ripped it out, just like 354 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking about it, just instinct right right. 355 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: That was a good one. I still like the Joe 356 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: Burrow head that was the best. How how I mean 357 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: you got one taste of that, I know coming into 358 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: the NFL with being in the same division, You're you're 359 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: excited about that with Joe. Uh how how disappointed. Were 360 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: you not to get another rematch with him after his 361 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: injury and how much you're looking forward to that one 362 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: down the road. That was really disappointed. But I know Joe, 363 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: I know the competitor Joe. Joe gonna be the same 364 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: top nice player that he was when he came in, 365 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: if not better. So, um, you know it's a it's 366 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: a lot to look forward to. We play a lot 367 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: of people I played last year, like we played Joe, 368 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: we gotta played just the next year. Uh, it's gonna be. 369 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun, fun, little fun little time 370 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: next year and get to play all my old teammates. 371 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: But um, Joe facing him for these next few years, 372 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: if not more, just something to watch, Like I just 373 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: can't describe it, Like it was always a competition at Elis, 374 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: So I know for sure, like when we step on 375 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: the field on the NFL, is gonna be the same 376 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: time every game, competition on that each other. Right. One 377 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: thing that stood out for me in watching the Super Bowl, 378 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: just to pivot a little bit, was their linebacker play 379 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: and the guy you know well in Devin White. I mean, 380 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: the Bucks linebackers were all over the field. You just 381 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: saw how they can kind of take over a game. 382 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: Do you look at you and Malik as all right, 383 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: that's what we're going to grow into and impact the 384 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: game in that way. Of course, Like believe my guy, 385 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: Like I've been hitting the belief this whole time, and 386 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be training again in Miami and 387 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: like it's just there's so much stuff that you see 388 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: on TV. It's like, man, like we was in that 389 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: situation with the same thing. We could do this, we 390 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: could do that. So the only way we could actually 391 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: know that is we go out there and do it. 392 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: And that's at the end of the day. It comes 393 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: down to us actually putting in the work to get there. 394 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: So there's all season we're gonna go at it. We 395 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: gonna train and hopefully get in that position to be 396 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: a top linebacker due to be talked about. It's not 397 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: often that you have two guys with the same position 398 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: to get drafted in the same year. Like is that 399 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: something that is special to the two of you? It 400 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: is like, oh, I didn't even know a Malik, like 401 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: nothing against this game, none against him. I don't even 402 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: know Malif before the combine and then combine I heard 403 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: of him. Then he gets drafted. So it's been a 404 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: state of hill of just like learning him, knowing him, 405 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: and then uh, you know, just playing on side of him. Man, 406 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: Like I feel I feel like we could Philippe especially 407 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: doof So there's gonna be something to be wanting for 408 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: next year. For sure. You mentioned the combined. It was 409 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: funny going back and looking at old Combine stuff. Obviously 410 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: you saw it this week. It was the question that 411 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: I asked you at the Combine last year about what 412 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: it would mean to get drafted by the Ravens and 413 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: if you talk to them and you knew at the 414 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: time that they had never drafted an LSU player. That 415 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: was the first thing out of your mouth. How did 416 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: you know that at the time? And then also just 417 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: what was it? You know, what what what was it like? 418 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: Looking back on that cliff this week, It was like 419 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: when we was at ls Q, we always cut up 420 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: with NFL teams and we were like the Ravens that 421 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: was dropping anybody, So we would have crossed that offer list. 422 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: Remember the time came and like, man, every time I 423 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: see some come out, and like as you went to 424 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: the Rails, as you went to the Ravens. So I 425 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: started believing myself, like I'm going to the Ravens. So 426 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: it just happened, and like I couldn't be mad at 427 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: it one bit honestly. Yeah. So which ls you prospect 428 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: is coming to the Ravens this year, all of them, 429 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: as many as we can get. Well, there's the receiver talk. 430 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the receiver. Yeah, Terris Marshall. If we 431 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: get Terrence, I'll be happy, terrible ters Terence gonna catch anything. 432 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Plus he's from Louisiana, went to l s UN straight 433 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: animal Louisiana needle. Alright there. You know L s U 434 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: is known for its linebackers and it's had a few 435 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: wide receivers too, so you know I wouldn't be sad 436 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: about that either.

Just kind 455 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: of made plays all over the field his rookie season. 456 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: You noticed him a lot, and uh, you know, and 457 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: I think still the exciting part is room to grow, 458 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 1: you know. So I really look forward to what Patrick 459 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: is going to do in his sophomore season and beyond Yeah, 460 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, when the Ravens drafted him, I 461 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: like to pick because he was an as sending player 462 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: and I think that that's kind of like the right 463 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: the sweet spot as you're drafting, you want to get 464 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: a guy who is on the way up. I think 465 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: of of Marlon Humphrey, as kind of a similar example 466 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: of that. To a certain degree, Marland was a little 467 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: bit raw when he came out of Alabama, didn't have 468 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: as much buzz as some of the other top defenders 469 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: in that draft, but had all the tools, had played 470 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: well in college, was physically gifted, and the Ravens got 471 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: him in the middle of the first round and he 472 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: turns out to be a lockdown corner. Um, And I 473 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: just feel like it's somewhat similar with Patrick. He played 474 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: his best football at the end of his college career. 475 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: He improved over the course of his rookie season. He 476 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: was thrown into the deep end at a time when 477 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: there was no offseason, no O T A s. And 478 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: he just stepped right into the middle of the defense 479 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: and played, you know, most every snap all season long. 480 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: And I just I just think that he's someone who 481 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: plays fast, he plays with intensity, he plays with energy, 482 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: and Um, sure there were mistakes as a rookie, but 483 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: I just think that he he's going to be a 484 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: really good player and an anchor for this defense for 485 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: many years to come. Yeah, slutely, So before we go, 486 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: let's let's have a little talk about the other side 487 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: of the ball. On offense as always a lot of 488 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: talk about wide receiver. Uh, that's not gonna that's not 489 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna relent anytime soon, you know. I think kind of 490 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: the most interesting buzzworthy stuff recently is that, you know, 491 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: reportedly the Ravens are not going to go after and 492 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, Kenny Golladay even you know, if they were 493 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: to hit the open market, which it looks doubtful that 494 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: they will. But now there's there's some buzz about the 495 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: Ravens going after like a one bee kind of that 496 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: that next tier down, and even Juju Smith Schuster's name 497 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: is being thrown a nown now from from some ESPN 498 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: people about him being a good fit. Just kind of 499 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: what what do you expect the Ravens to do in 500 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: free agency at wide receiver? Well, there's a couple of things. 501 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm dubious of anything that I hear 502 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: at this time of the year as to whether teams 503 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: are whether they're going to pursue this guy or that guy. 504 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: I just think that there's a lot of smoke screens, 505 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: so I'll start there. But then in terms of Juju, 506 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: I think that he's probably a level above the one 507 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: B For the record, I mean, this is the guy 508 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: who put up four yards two years ago. Um, not 509 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: as not as productive the last two seasons without Antonio 510 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: Brown on that on that offense. But still, I mean, 511 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: this guy has been incredibly productive in his career. So 512 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: if you could get him in Baltimore, it'd be weird. 513 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: That would be a weird one to because this is 514 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: the guy that Ravens fans have been rooting against for 515 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: the past four years. I remember when the Steelers drafted him. 516 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: I loved him coming out of the draft. We both 517 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: really liked him. Yeah, I think he definitely reminded me 518 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: a lot of an kwon Um. Big body to make 519 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: a tough contest to catches. Different personality. I don't think 520 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: that is much of a TikTok star, even if the 521 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: stockware around when he was in the league. Um, but yeah, 522 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: I mean I feel like he'd be a great fit 523 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: in this in this offense. I would love to see 524 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: the Ravens get one of those guys. I don't know 525 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: who that is. Um And Marvin Jones is another name 526 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: that gets floated out there. You know, a j Green. 527 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: Ravens fans have watched him plenty of rooted against him. 528 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how much A. J. Green has left. Um, 529 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: when he's when he's playing, well, he's got I mean, 530 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: he's obviously explosive, but he's dealt with so many injuries 531 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: the past few years. I don't know if he's got 532 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: too much left or not, but that would be that 533 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: would be really interesting Green. Yeah, I mean, I just 534 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: I just don't expect the Ravens to spend a whole 535 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: lot of money here, you know. I don't think they're 536 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 1: going to go out and sign somebody that's ten million dollars, 537 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: you know. I think it's probably in that five to 538 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: ten million dollar range, not tending above, you know, And 539 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: and so does A J. Green? Can he fall into that? Maybe? 540 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: You know? Um, It's it's really interesting, literally, it is, delph. 541 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens have what dollars around the salary 542 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: caps face The exact cap hasn't been said, so that's 543 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: kind of a projection. But let's say that they aren't 544 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: able to resign Matt Judon or Yanny Knaway and both 545 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: those guys leave, So where's the money going? You have 546 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: to pivot if the money if you're like, all right, well, 547 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: we were planning to spend twelve million dollars a year 548 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: on one of those players, just throwing out a number 549 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: here and now they're not. Do you then put yourself 550 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: into the if Allen Arbinson doesn't get tagged and hits 551 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: the market, do you put yourself into that sweep steaks. 552 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: I don't think so. No. I mean, I think, you know, 553 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: I think the team team's pivot, like here's the here's 554 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: the word, the key word that you just said, sweep steaks. 555 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: I don't think the Ravens are a sweepstakes kind of team. 556 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: We all not, not historically, But I do think that's 557 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: what I mean. That's what happened two years ago in 558 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: free agency. The Ravens were talking with c. J. Mosley, 559 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: trying to resign him. He ends up signing elsewhere with 560 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: the Jets, and the Ravens end up signing Earl Thomas 561 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: and mark Ingram the next day. And obviously the Earl 562 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: Thomas signing didn't work out, the mark Ingram one did. 563 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: But I just feel like there's there could be a 564 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: pit of it. If you're if you're going in one 565 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: direction and then that direction ends up not working out, 566 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: then you could switch to somebody else. Maybe that's not 567 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. But maybe it's again, I don't know. No 568 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: one was talking about Earl Thomas four years ago or 569 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: two years ago, and then the Ravens signed him. So 570 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: I feel like there could be that that could be 571 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: an avenue depending on what happens with their current free agents, 572 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: also what happens with Orlando Brown. If you end up 573 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: trading Orlando Brown, do you try to sign an offensive lineman? Right? Well, 574 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,239 Speaker 1: that's that was gonna be. My next question is if 575 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: you're gonna pivot. Let's say you pivot away from outside 576 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: linebacker because you you know, unique or ju done are 577 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: just too expensive. You don't feel like it's worth it. 578 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: Are you pivoting? Are you Garrett down here, assistant assistant 579 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: to the assistant regional manager, general manager. I'm the Dwight 580 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: Shroot the shoot title. Yeah, you're below dwighte um uh. 581 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: Do you pivot to signing a veteran guard or center 582 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: or signing a wide receiver? Right? I guess my My 583 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: follow up to that is the receiver? What category receiver? 584 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: We're talking here? All right, Let's just say you're gonna 585 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: spend eight million dollars on one, so you're gonna get 586 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: like a top guard, right, or you're gonna get the 587 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: one B you know, tier two receiver. I would probably 588 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: go guard. Okay, that's probably what I would do. I mean, 589 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: Ravens fans are just throwing their remote. They threw their 590 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: phone across the room on that one turned off. The 591 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: podcasts are driving unsubscribed, just unsubscribed, thanks a lot, Garrett. 592 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: I just the Ravens are still going to be a 593 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: run heavy team. If I've talked about for the upgrading 594 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line a lot of this offseason, the Ravens 595 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: have talked about upgrading the offensive line, and if you're 596 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna get the best guard on the market at that price, like, 597 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're saying. You can get the 598 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: best free agent guard potentially at that price. Would you 599 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: rather that? Or would you rather the one B wide receiver. 600 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: I still think you can get you know, one biggest 601 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: turn around it and it's it feels like you're talking 602 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: about bombs. Um, but that's not necessarily the case. Right, 603 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: We're sitting here talking about a J Green potentially. Um, 604 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: So I do think that you gotta keep that in mind. Um, 605 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: But I would probably go with the offensive lineman because 606 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: of the where the Ravens are at the end of 607 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: the day, that's going to be the strength of their team. 608 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: It's just it's just kind of this catch twenty two 609 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: of like do you invest in what you do best 610 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: or do you invest in something where you need the 611 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: most room, you need the most growth, Right, Like, Ravens 612 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: already running the ball pretty darn well other than anybody, 613 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: Like can you can you continue to run at that 614 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: level with a Ben Powers at right guard or or 615 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: Tyree Phillips, you know, And I love a center. That's 616 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: one thing. I mean, if you could get the so 617 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: you go center over guard, I probably we would. I 618 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: think I would love a proven veteran center. And if 619 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: you can get that guy, then that would be probably 620 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: at the top of my offensive line wish list, especially 621 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: if Orlando Brown is going to be back next year. 622 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: Hmm okay, all right, but I think it is. I 623 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: think it is an interesting point. I just if you're 624 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: not gonna go, if you're not going to be in 625 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: the in the mix for the Robinson Holaday Godwin or 626 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: if they don't even hit the market, and then and 627 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: then it's Sammy Watkins Marvin Jones, like would you give 628 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: would you give Watkins eight million or the top offensive 629 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman. Yeah, that's tricky. And the wide receivers 630 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: and wide receivers just all have these catches. Like Watkins 631 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: has been injured so many times too, but he's he's 632 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: been really good when he's been healthy. That's like the 633 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the That's why there's certain guys 634 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: that end up out there. I mean, like, who is 635 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: the Ian Rappaport gave this example when we did the 636 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: podcast with him last week. He gave the Robby Anderson example. 637 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: He's not a one year deal. I think with Carolina, 638 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: who's the Robbie Anderson this year? M right? Because Groby 639 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: Anderson was a great fit, a great addition for Carolina. 640 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: So who's that guy this year? And could you get 641 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: him at at a value? Yeah, that's the question, that's 642 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: the question. You don't want the position. I don't understand that. 643 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: That seems to beginning buzz in a little bit of 644 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: free agency, but more draft is safety? Why are people know? 645 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: I feel the same way. I don't get it. Yeah, 646 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: I I don't understand either. I mean, sure, of course, 647 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: would you like to draft the next Ed Reid? Yeah? 648 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: But the Ravens just drafted or just like signed Chuck 649 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: Clark to a long term extension last offseason. I believe 650 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: it was right. And DeShawn, like I think, did everything 651 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,479 Speaker 1: that you would want him to do in his first season. 652 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: Like we've just been saying, hey, if this guy can 653 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: stay healthy, like, let's see what he's got. He did it. 654 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: He played all sixteen games first year as a starter 655 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: and had some plays. I mean some of his big 656 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: hits in games. Sure, did he have a lot of interceptions, no, 657 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, but he had some big plays in terms 658 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: of his hitting. Uh. And I thought he was good. 659 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't like that he was getting beat deep all 660 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: the time or anything like that. Like I I'm interested 661 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: in seeing some more de Sean Elliott quite frankly, could 662 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: you could you feel good about your defense with Chuck 663 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: and DeShawn Is the guys on the back end. I 664 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: think so, yeah. I think they absolutely could. I mean 665 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: I think that the Ravens should probably draft a safety 666 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: Day two, early day three, like a fourth round pick, 667 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, somebody that someone like exactly exactly, and maybe 668 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: they take over for de Sean. You know, de Sean 669 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: I think is going into his fourth year. He's gonna 670 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: be a free agent after next season, so you know, 671 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: somebody like that, and maybe you hope that you get 672 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: somebody with some some ball skills. I mean, de Sean 673 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: had a number of turnovers and picks and stuff in college. 674 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: So I think they could use another kind of uh 675 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: free safety on the back end because de Sean and 676 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: Chuck are kind of, you know, both big hitters, closer 677 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: to the box kind of guys. You know, neither one 678 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: of those is really known for being a ball hawk 679 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: or have shown that. I think the Sean can can 680 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: be somewhat of that, but um, that would be like 681 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,239 Speaker 1: what the Ravens envisioned with Earl Thomas being that kind 682 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: of center fielder that I think once they pivoted from him, 683 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: then they didn't have that president's back there as much. Right, Yeah, 684 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: that's the one I don't really see the Ravens. The 685 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: Ravens also need a slot corner. They need the draft 686 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: a slot corner or somebody like I don't think you 687 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: should go into the season again with Tavon Young being 688 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: your only healthy true slot corner. Sure Marlin can do it, 689 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: but like, let's let Marlin do what Marlon does best. Right, Like, 690 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: let's let's put him out there. And I like him 691 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: the slot and he's physical and all that stuff. But 692 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: like I I would be happy if the Ravens didn't 693 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: have to keep moving Marlin Humphrey into the slot and 694 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: they had somebody that could step in if Tavan weren't healthy. Yeah, 695 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: I think that that would be a good thing to do. 696 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you there. And also Corner, it's the old 697 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: adage you can never have too many. Uh is Peter's 698 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: up after this season, I'd have to double check that. Um. 699 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, and and Tavon Young is dealt with the injuries. 700 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 1: I could see that. There's just like and then the 701 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: other one obviously is pass rusher. If the Ravens end up, 702 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: if if Judan and go Way leave, then you need 703 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: you need pass rush out and I think that that 704 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: probably becomes likely first or second round. Yeah. Well, I 705 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: just wrote a story this week. There's a lot of them. 706 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot. This is like a really good class 707 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: for three four defensive end slash outside linebacker hybrids that 708 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens can choose from. And I called it, I 709 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: think a month ago. I said to you, if quitty 710 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: quitty pay is there, guys, the guy's raven. If he's there, 711 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: he's raven. Yeah, I'm telling you the backstory, the backstory, 712 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: the you know, the way you hustle, the way he 713 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: plays physical, all that. Yeah, Well, what do you think 714 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: about the mel Kuiper talked about Landon Dickerson, Alabama center 715 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: who started his career at Florida State. I don't know. 716 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: Dickerson was really good when he's on the field, dealt 717 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: with a number of different injuries knee ankles, most recently 718 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: in knee that ended his college career and might sideline 719 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: him for the start of the upcoming season. I don't 720 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: really love it at twenty seven, but I love it 721 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: as a tradeback possibility. Sure, sure, yeah, because he thinks 722 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: he could end up either with the Ravens or the 723 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: Steelers at four. So good player, but man, it would 724 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: be tough to take a guy who's not gonna be 725 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: ready at the start of the season when you feel 726 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: like the Ravens are I just feel like the Ravens 727 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: are a team that's knocking on the door right now, 728 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: like the window. This is the window, and you need 729 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: guys immediately who can come in and make an impact, 730 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: especially his first round picks. I was thinking about this 731 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: the other night. You're talking about the window. I've officially 732 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: settled on the pay Lamar next year year. There's a 733 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: reason not this year. There is a reason why, Like 734 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: why would you commit extra money there in a year 735 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: where the salary cap is tighter, right, and you have 736 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: a great chance to win now, Like there was a 737 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: reason why the Ravens traded into the first round, not 738 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: just because they wanted to be the team, but they 739 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: trade into thirty two specifically, I think in part and 740 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: Eric to Coasa said this to get that fifth year option. 741 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: Is that way now you can you can sign him 742 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: after that fourth year. You still aren't backed into a corner, 743 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: you know. So and if they have to, if they 744 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: have to put the fifth year tag or the fifth 745 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: go with the fifth year option. He's worth that too. Like, 746 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: I know that's expensive, but so is a new contract, 747 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: Like for a four million dollar contractor or whatever the 748 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: number is, I'm paying him next year. Yeah, it is 749 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: like when it is funny that there's when the Ravens 750 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: drafted him, so much of the talk was when you 751 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: get five years at great value. Right now you're trying 752 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: to only just shorten the three right now. There's a 753 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: lot of different ways you can look at it. The 754 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: prices only the other The flip side here, and I 755 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: agree with you, by the way, but the flip side 756 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 1: here is that the cap is only going up. There's 757 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: rumors and talk of the TV deals getting signed. Uh 758 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: currently you know this week, last week, and so all 759 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: all those new TV deals are in place, stadiums are full. Again. 760 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: Say this fall at the latest next year, and now 761 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: instead of paying him thirty five a year, you're paying 762 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: him five a year. That's a lot of inflation. Well, 763 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: this year the caps down, the ship caps down, so 764 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: even just to get back to a normal number, and 765 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: then add on top of that, I mean, that's a 766 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: huge number. But um, that's the benefit is if you 767 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: could get that deal done before then it may be 768 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: a little bit cheaper. But also there's benefit to him 769 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: to wait for him to wait too, for that same reason. 770 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: If he waits a year and all of a sudden 771 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: the cap is higher, now he gets a better deal, 772 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: he gets a long term deal. Ravens play this year 773 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: out with reduced salary cap and they can go out 774 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: there and try to win it. So I think that 775 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: I personally think that there's probably benefit to both sides 776 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 1: to waiting UM, but I guess it kind of depends 777 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: on if the Ravens want to lock in the franchise 778 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: quarterback and whether Lamar it's really important for him to 779 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: have a long term security deal in place after this season. 780 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: So UM lots of questions, And I also think that 781 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: the next week is going to be really interesting. You're 782 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: already starting to see rumors about whether there's gonna be 783 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of cuts around the league, and UH, that 784 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: could be the wide receiver right there, that could be 785 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens receiver somebody on somebody's team right now that 786 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: we don't know about. Yep, for sure, for sure. So 787 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: UH will continue to discuss all of it and break 788 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: it down and provide you guys with insight and all that. 789 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: So it's a fun time of the year. We look 790 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: forward to it. Appreciate Patrick for joining us today, and 791 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: we will be back with you next week.
