1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. We are gearing 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: up for the first game action of the Ravens season 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans at M ANDT Bank 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: Stadium at seven thirty. If you don't have your tickets yet, 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: make sure you go get those. Uh it's gonna be 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: exciting to see the eyes back out there. You know, 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: it remains to be seen how much of the how 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: many of the starters we see. We already know that 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson will not be playing, Mark Andrews, Marcus Williams, 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: justin Houston, who I am missing? I'm sure, Kevin Zeidler, Campbell, Campbell. 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: There will be other guys, Mark Andrews. Uh. So we 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: already know that we're not going to see a bunch 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: of starters. But still for a dedicated Ravens fan, and 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: if you're listening to Lounge, you're a dedicated Ravens fan. 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: All these other guys, the backups, you know, jockeying for 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: roster positions, the rookies, all those back in roster decisions 17 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: that have yet to be made, a lot of those 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: get made based off a preseason games. So it's exciting 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: to see all that play out too. Yeah, I mean, 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: I think the decision not to play most of the starters, 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: especially the really established starters, is a departure from what 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. But I don't think not really. 23 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar Jackson didn't play in the first two 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: preseason games. Yeah, I'm saying at a large level, if 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: they don't play it all in the preseason, yeah, Lamar 26 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: Jackson got what the intention was one series last year. Yeah, 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: they've played, I mean they in previous years. Yeah. I 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: think John Harball is kind of trended in this direction, 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: has been I think I think it is continuing to 30 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: move in the direction of playing those guys less and less. Yeah. 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: And but but regardless of how much they played in 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: the past, Like, I don't think that then playing less 33 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: this year really changes what the preseason has always been about. 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: Like the preseason has always been about basically seeing what 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: you having young players, if they're ready to take a 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: leap to the NFL for rookies, getting them comfortable in 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: that environment, and then also getting a sense of who's 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: going to be those last few roster spots. Like at 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: every position, most positions have like one spot, you know, 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: that you could try to earn receiver, running back, tight end, 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: offensive line. Like most of those spots have a have 42 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: like one final roster spot that a few guys are 43 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: probably fighting for in the preseason, and then you're fighting 44 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: for for practice squad spots. To be honest, to squad spots, 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: of course, these guys certainly know that you know, the 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: I and Sky don't lie. And I think the players 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: will often say, like, look, if you don't have a 48 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: spot here, then there's an opportunity to catch on somewhere else. 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: So they know that this this is a this is 50 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: an audition. And I do enjoy the preseason. I'm not 51 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: just saying that, Like I do think it's fun to 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: see these guys really like fighting for their their jobs. Yeah, 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: well in preseason one is always you know, it's your 54 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: first time back in that stadium in a real in 55 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: a game. You know, I always said a real game. 56 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: It's kind of a real game. Um, but you know, 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: it's just it's just fun, you know, and we still 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: put on a good show there and the game the 59 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: atmosphere is just the same, you know, like it just 60 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: to kind of give listeners like a feel for it, 61 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: we have pet A Williams on a few weeks ago. Uh, 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: if you haven't listened to that interview, I would recommend 63 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: you do so because he just was I think you'll 64 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: really like him after listening to that. But when we 65 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: did that, as we were walking down to do the interview, 66 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: he was like, I can't wait for preseason. I'm so 67 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: fired up, Like this is time, this is my time. 68 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: And like, I think that that's a feeling that shared 69 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: by a lot of players who are in his boat, 70 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: you know, mid round pick. He's a rookie. He wants 71 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: to show everybody like, hey, I'm ready for the NFL, 72 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: and so there's that enthusiasm. You can kind of feel 73 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: it around the building. So we want to give you 74 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: our thoughts going into that game, and we also just 75 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: want to discuss some of what we've seen at training 76 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: camp over the course of the last few days. And 77 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: then also, um, you go ahead set your calendars because 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a follow up podcast after the game 79 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: on Friday morning. So we're gonna give you our take 80 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: and reaction to everything that takes place uh during the 81 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: game Thursday night, So that'll hit your feeds uh sometime 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Friday morning. Yeah, So one other thing that I do 83 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: want to mention that it's this preseason game is important 84 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: for this classification of player is guys coming back from injuries. Right, 85 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: So Nick Boyle talked about how he needs to play 86 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: in this preseason game. It's it's key for him just 87 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: from a mental standpoint and getting accustomed to the physicality 88 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: of a game, which you know, you can you can 89 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: put on the pads here, you know, at practice and 90 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: uh all that stuff. It's not quite a game, right, 91 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: There's a different level when it comes to hitting somebody 92 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: else versus your teammate. And so Nick Boyle was very 93 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: honest and saying, you know, as a blocker, I just 94 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm in the same space that I 95 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: was before where he just went out in mauled people 96 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: and the and the physicality that that takes. So it's 97 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: an important game for him. Tony Jefferson is in the 98 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: same boat as a player who didn't play at all 99 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: in after his knee injury. And now you know, he 100 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: got a few games last year under his belt and 101 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: showed something, you know that he still had some gas left. 102 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: There are a lot of gas, in my opinion, left 103 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: in the tank. Um and so it's an important game 104 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: for him. Another guy that I would put in the 105 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: same category would be Jawan James, the tackle who hasn't 106 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: played in two plus years. Uh, and now is the 107 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: Ravens are looking at him as the top backup to 108 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley at left tackle. It's important for him to 109 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: get out there and get game reps in that new 110 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: spot at left tackles. So those are three other guys 111 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: that I think I'll have my eye on in the 112 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: preseason game. Yeah. I think that's a good point, and 113 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting, like Nick Boyle, really, all those guys, 114 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: all all those guys have signed contract extensions in their career, 115 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: so they've been at points in their career where you know, 116 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: they were not playing in the preseason, or they weren't 117 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: they didn't need to play in the preseason, but based 118 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: on injuries and where they are at this point, the 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: preseason has suddenly become important to them. And I just 120 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting to hear from both to Tony 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: and Nick saying like, oh, I want to play, I 122 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: need to play, and they're they're excited to do so. 123 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: And I think Jowan James is a good point. Um 124 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: in a adition to him not playing the past couple 125 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: of years, he's also making the transition from the right 126 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: side to the left side, and so it's you kind 127 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: of have two factors that play there, like how do 128 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: you feel physically coming back from with torn achilles not 129 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: playing a lot of football in the past couple of years, 130 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: and also how do you feel making that transition? And 131 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: this will be an opportunity to see where he is 132 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: um and all of that. So I think those are 133 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: some important guys there. Another one is Justice Hill. I 134 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't forget missed last season because of the achilles tear. 135 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: Obviously he's in the running back competition. I would certainly 136 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: expect that he's going to get a lot of runtime 137 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: in this preseason game as well to see what he 138 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: can do in a game. Yeah, he talked about one 139 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: to get some reps and prove where he is. I've 140 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: said before on the podcast, and I think if we're 141 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: talking about you know guys who have been impressive to 142 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: me during training camp, Justice Hill is one of those players. 143 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: I just don't think that he has looked slowed at 144 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: all from the injury. I think that like he has 145 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: stood out him and Mike Davis to me have been 146 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: the running backs who have looked the best to my eye. Um, 147 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: I think that he's caught the ball well. Justice Hill 148 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: has coming out of the backfield. He's got good speed, 149 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: and I think going into camp you may have said, 150 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to make the fifty three. 151 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: If I were making my fifty three right now, which 152 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: we still have time to do, we'll still do that. UM, 153 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: I would probably put Justice Hill on it. I think 154 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: that he's done enough early on to show me that 155 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: he can be on this he can make an impact 156 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: on the scene during the season. It's gonna be really 157 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: interesting at running back. Uh. That is probably the position 158 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: group over training camp and or over the preseason games 159 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna watch most closely, because you know, you 160 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: have a a jockeying for reps, right like who's going 161 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: to be the number two back. Let's say if Gus 162 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: Edwards isn't ready week one, which John Harball kind of 163 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: casts him out on whether he will be or not. 164 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: J K. Dobbins, I think now that he's back on 165 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: the field, to me, that puts him in position to 166 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: be their Week one. But who's gonna be the number two, 167 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: and and I doubt that j K. Dobbins is going 168 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: to start the season getting thirty five carries. I can 169 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: say that I would be shocked if that was exactly. 170 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: And so that number two job, I mean, regardless, is 171 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: an important job. I think it has even more importance 172 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: with the Dobbin situation. And so to me, it's it's 173 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: still up for grabs. You know. Is that Mike Davis, 174 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: I'd probably say he's the leader in the clubhouse. Uh, 175 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's bioid margin. And I think 176 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: these preseason games are gonna really have a large say 177 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: in that. Uh. And it's not just for that, it's 178 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: for roster spots. I mean, you know that j K 179 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: is gonna be on the roster, you know, Gus maybe 180 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: he starts on pup, I don't know whatever, right, maybe 181 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: he won't take a roster spot to be in the season. Uh. 182 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: Then you have, let's say, Mike Davis, you're talking about 183 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Justice Hill, you also have a rookie six round pick 184 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: and Tyler baby do you it's you don't usually cut 185 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: six round picks and Tyler bradies look good like He's 186 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: very much in that conversation as well. Corey Clement has 187 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: been has impressed Ravens coaches so far. Um, and he's 188 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: looked good out here. Could he, you know, sneak into 189 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: the onto the fifty three man roster. There's a lot 190 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: of play at running back for me. Yeah, I I 191 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: totally agree, and I think you always get it wrong 192 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: though you whenever we need the fifty three man roster predictions, 193 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: we can count on you to pick the wrong guy 194 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: at running back. Well, here's the thing. Here is the thing. 195 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm running back and I think that a lot of 196 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: people in the preseason, in that third and fourth quarter, 197 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: you can often have a guy that puts up big 198 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: numbers and running back. He gets a couple of times 199 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: by Bobby Rainy. He actually lasted a little bit in 200 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: the league. So did the other one was smoked myzel 201 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: back and that's the name for the past. That's a 202 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: good one. Um. But he he hung on. Who's the 203 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: guy that had the really long touchdown in Miami? Oh man, 204 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: There's been some other goals he's just gotten totally. Yeah, 205 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: I've I've I've missed on the running back. He's been 206 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: fooled by that at times. What I do think that 207 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: there I'm with you, Like, I think that the running 208 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: back competition this year is gonna be quite interesting in 209 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: the preseason, and we've already seen that at camp. I 210 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: also think you could say the same about receiver. Um, 211 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: you know the top three spots Bateman, du Rene Prochet. 212 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: Fourth spot I think is gonna go to Tayland Wallace, 213 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: and then who is it who is going to be 214 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: that fifth and and the other part here, like the 215 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: Ravens mainly keep five receivers. We're talking about four. If 216 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: they kept six receivers there, how many tight ends do 217 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: they keep? Um? You already you have a fullback in 218 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: Patrick Rickard who obviously just gonna be on the team. 219 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: Not every team carries that, so that you also have 220 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of offensive lineman too. So like I think 221 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: they're only gonna keep five um and receivers. Yes, So 222 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: who is that fifth receiver? That is very much up 223 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: in the air. Jalen Moore I think has had a 224 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: strong summer. Benjamin Victor is in that mix, Jamar Bridges 225 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: and has in that man Slay Bolden. Isn't that every 226 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: single guys Goolka Polk is in that mix. He's He's 227 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: made a fair number of catches the past several dates. 228 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: So who is going to earn that spot? I think 229 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: that the I do think that these preseason games will 230 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: will be We'll have a big impact on that. Like 231 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down the special teams too. 232 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: That's what you need to be watching is who's lining 233 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: up on the special teams units and where right are they? 234 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: Are they key pieces of those coverage and return units. Uh, 235 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: at wide receiver, you're whoever the fifth wide receiver is, 236 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, they better be playing some 237 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: pretty good special teams. Absolutely. The same goes for running back. Yeah, well, 238 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: like you know, I think that one of the things 239 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: that coaches want to see in the preseason is, like 240 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: I go back to last year, James Brochet was having 241 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: a great spring, great summer, and then like he carried 242 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: that into the preseason and then I think over the 243 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: course of that time, he's making place in the preseason, 244 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: he's making place in camp all throughout the summer, and 245 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: you say, Okay, he's just done enough, He's just earned 246 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: the spot. Like that's what your looking for. Where you 247 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: get concerned is if a guy is making all these 248 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: plays out in practice, then you get to a game 249 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: and he doesn't show up, It's like, Okay, well can 250 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: you do it in a game? Is he gonna be 251 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: able to handle that pressure? And so that's I think 252 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: that's what part of this evaluation process is. I really 253 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: do think that fifth spot is wide open, Like, I 254 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: don't know between those guys a receiver who I would 255 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: give it to you right now? Yeah, I really don't 256 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: even have a leader. I mean, I've read about this 257 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: in mail bag. I don't think anybody's separated themselves from 258 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: the pack. Every day. It seems like a different guy 259 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: make to play. Um. Jalen Moore I would say, has 260 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: probably been the most consistent over the whole entire course 261 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: of the summer um. But my natural inclination keeps going 262 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: back to the Ravens clearly brought in. I think it 263 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: was four undrafted wide receivers who are six two and above. 264 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: They had a type they were looking for an undrafted 265 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: rookies and and we all know, like with Miles Boy, 266 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: can you know now being on the Stealers and the 267 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: Ravens releasing him, there is a spot for a big 268 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: bodied wade receiver. So my eye keeps going to those 269 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: kind of guys, which that's a six ft four Shamar 270 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: Bridges for example, McKay polk is is a taller wide receivers, 271 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: not as Thick, I would say, is as Bridges is, um, 272 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: but like a Victors is very tall, more lanky um. 273 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: But so like that's the way I keep shading. But 274 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, then you see Slave Bolden making plays and 275 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Moore making plays, and you're like, it's gonna go 276 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: to the best guy, you know what I mean? And 277 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: so I do think it's very very much up in 278 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: the air there. And then you know, just to kind 279 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: of wrap up on the offense offensive line, like I 280 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: think that we have an indication. I don't know that 281 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: it's a hundred percent settled yet, but it sure seems 282 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: like Ben powers as a leader right nowt left guard. 283 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: That's what the Raves have said. How's Tyree Phillips do 284 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: the preseason? It's important for him. I think it is 285 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: important for him. Bank Cleveland, I think it's very important 286 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: for him as well. Also think it is very important 287 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: for Bank Cleveland. Didn't get on the field, you know, 288 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: until several days into camp because of the conditioning tests 289 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: at injuries last year. They kept him out of the 290 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: line up for a number of games. He needs to 291 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,119 Speaker 1: show improvement. Yeah, and and like those those spots are difficult, 292 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: you know, for those for the offensive line, especially when 293 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: you've got like a bunch of you know, like they 294 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: just got a bunch of offensive linement who were in 295 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: the mix. And I think that like there may be 296 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: somebody they may have to make a tough decision with 297 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: a guy like a Bank Cleveland if they if they're 298 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: not feeling good about where he's at now. I also 299 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: think that Cleveland could come out and show in the preseason, 300 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: well he's he's good to go. You know, he's ready 301 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: to take on Even if he's at the starter, you 302 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: can put him in as a backup m and he 303 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: could step into the starting lineup if needed. Like he 304 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: can prove that this training camp or this preseason. I'm 305 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: not writing him off yet, but I do think it's 306 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: an important time for him. We already talked about Juwan James. 307 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: We're not going to see Tyler Linderbaum this week. He's 308 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: still dealing with Sin Cologne. It's a big game for 309 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: him as well. Yeah, and and Tristan Cologne. I think 310 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: he has played pretty well when I've seen him in action. Um, 311 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: he had a matchup with Aaron Donald last year. I'll 312 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: never forget that when Bradley Boseman had some bad what 313 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: was it pizza night before or something like that. Yeah, 314 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: step right up, Tristan Cologne. You only have the defensive 315 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: m v P. Yeah, you funny. And he didn't wreck 316 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: the game. No, not Donald did not wreck that game, 317 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: and so but but center. You know, like going back 318 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: to what I just said, there's so many offensive linemen 319 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: there can you keep kind It's tough. McCarry is really 320 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: the second string center. You know, he's been taking the 321 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: reps with Tyler Linder bomb out. McCarry is basically the 322 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: super sub backup to every all five factions. Did you 323 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: also keep Cologne so you that you have like another 324 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: true center in case McCarry were to step in it 325 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: whatever one of the tackle spots exactly, then you need 326 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: a backup center. He's at least I think on the 327 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: practice squad. Yeah. Um, all right, we're just sitting here 328 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: doing the full fifty three guys right down right now. Uh, 329 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: other guys that I'm intrigued to see in the preseason. 330 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: We'll flip it over the defensive side of the ball. 331 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: I think Malee Harrison as a player to watch. You know, 332 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: last year start out as a starter, Um had the 333 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: gunshot wounded mid season, had to miss some get time 334 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: because of that, and then came back and really didn't 335 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: play defense hardly at all. Uh So it's a big 336 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: preseason for him to prove that I'm still that guy 337 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: that you invested a third round draft pick in and 338 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: can be a valuable piece in this defense as a 339 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: rotational inside linebacker. I don't think he's probably in a 340 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: starting role right now, but he needs to prove that 341 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: he's definitely on the fifty three and somebody that can 342 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: play special teams, you know. I mean, Chris board is 343 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: no longer on this team. They need more inside linebackers 344 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: to play special teams. Christ and Welch is gonna be 345 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: that guy? Can Millie Harrison do it? Pretty well? So 346 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: if it weren't just I mean, if I know we're 347 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: talking fifty three here, but if Millie Harrison weren't on 348 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: the fifty three, who who else is in that mix there? 349 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: It inside linebacker? It's hard to see him not. I mean, 350 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of death right, I mean, 351 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: they have three undrafted rookies. Um, I know there's gonna 352 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: be interested of course locally in Diego for Goo out 353 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: of Navy. You know he'll be a guy to watch 354 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: in these games, and you know we'll see you know, 355 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: he's got an uphill climb to make the squad, but 356 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: I know that you know, the local story, you know 357 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: of those local college is always kind of attracts people's attention. 358 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: So you will be one to watch, I think at 359 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: Cornerback to real quick, just before we move on to corner, 360 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: we have a question here about the sideline. As always, 361 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: you can email us at the lounge at Ravens dot 362 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: NFL dot net. So this question is not about who's 363 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: gonna make the team, but it's about some of the 364 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: news in the NFL this week regarding Rokwan Smith Bears. 365 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: What kind of compensation do you think it would take 366 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: to get a trade for ro Kwan Smith? If you 367 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: haven't seen this, Rokuan Smith, really talented Bears linebacker, has 368 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: said that he wants a trade. He's requested a trade 369 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: from the Bears. He's not happy with the contract negotiations 370 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: and how they've gone to Chicago, so he wants out. 371 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: So that Patrick's question says, this defense could easily go 372 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: from potentially great to potentially elite. I could go from 373 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: great to elite with a Roquan Smith. Addition, do you 374 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: think Chicago will want draft capital players now some kind 375 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: of combination? Um? And could we even afford it in 376 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: the long term? Or do you think this could be 377 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: a one year rental kind of thing that helps us 378 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: make a Super Bowl run? So different layers to that 379 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: question there is there are. Um. I don't think that 380 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: Roquan Smith would come cheap. I mean, here's a former 381 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: high first round pick who it's not like he's been 382 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: a bust. He's been very been a very good player. Um. Now, 383 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: he hasn't been like a pro pro Bowl player, you know. Um, 384 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: But I don't think he would come cheap. I mean, 385 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: I don't know, right, but a second, the third, I 386 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: mean a second, he is going into the last year 387 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: of his contract, which is really what prompted all of this. 388 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: A second might be a little rich for my blood. 389 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: If it's taken a third, I'm interested. Now. The other 390 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: question here is the contract. Obviously, his discontent with the 391 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: Bears is that he's trying to get a contract extension 392 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: done and hasn't liked the way that those talks have gone. 393 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: And so if he were to be traded, whatever team 394 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: he gets traded too, I would imagine he wants a 395 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: contract extension as part of that deal. The Ravens are 396 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: generally not a team that does that. Now, they could 397 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: they could still trade for him and do the Orlando 398 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: Brown and you know, I mean Marcus Peters ended up 399 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: getting traded here and then signing an extension towards the 400 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: end of that season. I think he did. Um. So, 401 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: like they don't have to do it immediately. You know, 402 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: they could say, let's wait and see what we get 403 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: this year, you know, if and so, I think that 404 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: they could make his current salary work under the salary cap, 405 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: even though they don't have a lot. There were reports 406 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: that you know, they had contract restructure to create some 407 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: some more salary cap space. This is the kind of 408 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: move that you do that for. You know, we talked 409 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: about it then, like it didn't exactly mean that something 410 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: was coming down the pike, like Lamar Jack's extension. Eric 411 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: Cottle just wants some breathing room to make moves. This 412 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: would be a move, um, you know, I like Josh 413 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: Bindes I think he's a very very good player, very 414 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: solid player. Adding Roquan Smith does take this inside linebacker 415 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: corps and the defense to another level. Absolutely, So I'm 416 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm interested. I'm interested in knowing what it would cost personally. Yeah, 417 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that it's it's worth a call. 418 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, an inside linebacker. I do think Patrick. 419 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: For the record, the Bears have said that they do 420 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: not want to trade him. Now they always say that, yeah, 421 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: But for the record, there's a game of chicken going 422 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: on there. He says he wants out, and sometimes these 423 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: things resolve of themselves also, and the player says I 424 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: want to be traded, and then they start talking, and 425 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, they get a deal that they put the 426 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: public pressure on, and sometimes that is all it takes. 427 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: It just depends. Deebo Samuel. Yeah, Deebo Samuel is a 428 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: good example. You know, everyone, we we got a million 429 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: questions to the lounge inbox about whether we could trade 430 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: for Deebo Samuel, and then he ends up signing an extension. 431 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: You wanted it bad, You wouldn't want Diebo Samuel. I 432 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: would like I wasn't willing to give up the entire team. Yeah, yeah, 433 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: and all my draft picks like you less need, You're 434 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: less need. We were just talking about this. You know 435 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: this is the lounge, right, so let's let him into lot. 436 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: We were just talking about how bad of a general 437 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: manager Caret would be because he would be less need. 438 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: That's you I love. I love big wheeling and dealing, 439 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: so I'm always i would always be trying to make deals. 440 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to get you one of those shirts he 441 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: wore to the super ad. See let's see you walk 442 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: around here wearing that shirt and see what Eric says. Yeah, 443 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: so look. I on the other thing I would say 444 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: with Rokuan Smith is you know the Ravens reportedly were 445 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: very much in Bobby Wagner. I think that's a great point, 446 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: and so they would be interested to add dynamic inside 447 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: linebacker if if a player is available, which Roquan Smith, 448 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: according to him, is available, so if you can get him, 449 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: I think that they would really consider that. I still 450 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: think Patrick Queen's gonna have a really good year, and 451 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: Josh Bindes is just so reliable there knows everything that's 452 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: going on, So I'm not really worried about the ravensness. 453 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: I lie back our group, but if you have a 454 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: chance to add a dynamic player, I think you gotta 455 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: consider it. I looked up the per Football Focus grades 456 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: on Roquan from this past season. One good, not great. No, 457 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: particularly in run defense, which, like, if I'm complimenting Patrick Queen, 458 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: now you know Patrick's could come downhill and fast. He 459 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: got good grades in past coverage. Um, it was the 460 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: run defense that was which look at the tackle numbers. 461 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy ran into a lot of tackles 462 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: if you think he stinks that bad at run defense. 463 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: So I'm a little skeptical of those grades. But um, 464 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: just saying put it out there, all right, So thank 465 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: you for the question Patrick.

All right, So before I cut you off 481 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: on the ro Quan Smith question, we did talk a 482 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: little bit. You were moving to cornerback from preseason. Yeah, 483 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: I think that's an important position in terms of depth. 484 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: The Ravens have some veterans there that I think are 485 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: competing for roster spots. We all know obviously, Marlin Humphrey, 486 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, Uh, jail In Armor, Davis Pepe Williams, Kyle Fuller. 487 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: Those five guys are on the team. Yeah, right, but 488 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens will definitely keep at least x corners, 489 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: maybe seven. They got a lot of safety to keep 490 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: too um tight end right when you look at corner, 491 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean there's some veteran guys here that are competing 492 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: for spots. Robert Jackson, Kevin Tolliver, uh, Kevon Cavon, Seymour, 493 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: those are and then you have some young guys. I mean, 494 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: David Vereen has made some plays out here. Is a feisty, 495 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: little competitive dude. Um, he's competing for a roster spot. 496 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: So there's just there's some interesting players there that, uh, 497 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: this training or this preseason is gonna merely matter for 498 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: those guys. Seven corners that would be tough to see. 499 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 1: That would be a lot get just especially given especially right, 500 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: I mean at safety you have I think you're keeping five, 501 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: right in my opinion, and where you counting brand Stevens 502 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: in this actually counting him is right? Oh jesus, I 503 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: didn't even mention him in the corners, right, So that's 504 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: your six automatics at corner. So I think you probably 505 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: are keeping seven maybe and then five safeties. That will 506 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: be a lot. I don't know. I mean I think that, 507 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think maybe some of those 508 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: guys could make their way under the practice squad. But 509 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: I also know that, as we saw last year, you 510 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: can't have enough good corners. I think, honestly, part of 511 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: it depends on the health status of some of these guys. 512 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Stevens, for example, has been banged up 513 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: in tissue injury. How long is he out to see 514 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: back soon? Like I would, I would not expect him 515 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: to play in the game this week, given the time, 516 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: So what you know, when does he get back on 517 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: the field, is that something that lingers Is Marcus Peters 518 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: ready to go week one? That's the hope in the expectation. 519 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: But when I see those are like some of the 520 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: questions that I think would impact the number of guys 521 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: that you ultimately carry on the fifty three. So in safety, 522 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: like we already talked about Tony jaff person, you know, 523 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: but the santy I want to see is Kyle Hamilton's 524 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: I just want to see him in action, like we've 525 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: seen him in in training camp and he flies around 526 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: the football, especially Marcus william is not playing. I think 527 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Hamilton's gonna get a fair number of steps. Yeah, I 528 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: think that he is. And I just think that heat. 529 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm excited, man, Like this guy was the top fifteen pick. 530 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: Ravens were fired up when he fell to him. People 531 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: thought he might be a top five pick. And I've 532 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: seen those traits on the field. I'm really excited to 533 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: see him level somebody. Yeah you see. I mean he's 534 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: just a big dude who moves really fast and then 535 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 1: he has to pull off at the last second all 536 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: the time, like there's a play that James Firschet made 537 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: over the middle uh this week where he went up 538 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: high to catch a ball and he kind of bounced 539 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: off Kyle Hamilton's who had like both hands up, like 540 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: trying not to hurt the guy, you know. But like 541 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: in a preseason game, all bets are all like, I 542 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: am excited to see this dude lay the wood on somebody. Yeah, 543 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: he practices hard too, and I think that that's going 544 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: to translate over to the game. But right, they don't 545 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: hit most of the time full contact, even if they're 546 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 1: fully padded, they don't hit hit. Yeah, they're not like 547 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: looking to lay somebody out over the middle. No, that's 548 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: not how it goes in practice. But in the game 549 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: he can be anenforcer over the middle of the field, 550 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna get maybe a little taste 551 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: of it. The other rookie who I really want to 552 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: see in this is upfront, but it's Travis Jones. So, 553 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: like I've always when you start having a guy, especially 554 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: in the trenches, who gets buzzed during training camp, the 555 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: other veterans talking really good about him, it's like, all right, well, 556 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: let's see how he does in a game. Atmosphere because 557 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: the stuff of the trenches, honestly is difficult to assess 558 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: in training camp. It's just it's just hard as you're 559 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: watching it live. All credits to Michael Pierce because he 560 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: has stood out to me in training camp. And when 561 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: you're standing out on the defensive line that way like 562 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: you're doing something right. Because Michael Pierce, to me, it's 563 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: easy to see that he is having a very strong 564 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: training camp. Does he does he how much does he play? 565 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: Does he play at all? I mean he's a guy 566 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: who hasn't played a lot. He played eight games last 567 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: year the year before that. I probably say nah, But 568 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: especially because they have a lot of depth. There's defensive 569 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: line that like these younger guys some snaps. So I 570 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: probably say no on Pierce. But yeah, I think that's 571 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: kind of the question on like some of these veteran 572 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: players like okay, so Mark Andrews and Lamar Jackson and 573 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: Marlin Humphrey are I'm playing Pro Bowl? The Pro Bowl 574 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: players nothing to prove and you don't want him get 575 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: him injured, right, But like what is to like a 576 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: Michael Pierce Does he play? I probably doubt it. This 577 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: is a Patrick Queen play. I don't know. They don't 578 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: have a lot of inside life, but I would. I would. Yeah, 579 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, I would, right, Um, I think that's 580 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be interesting. But yeah, I do agree, 581 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: Pierces looked really good. He just as a force in 582 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: the buddlefield. But Travis Jones, Travis Jones will play. I 583 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: do expect him. He'll definitely play, And I just want 584 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: to see if what we have seen from him in 585 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: camp and all the buzz, if that carries over to 586 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: a game going up against an imposing guy, because like 587 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: it's I don't know, there's just a lot of excitement 588 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: around him, and like sometimes when you hear it from 589 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: the teammates, you're like, Okay, I'm gonna take notice of this. 590 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: Like now, sometimes you also wonder, like are they just 591 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: like another guy? I don't know? And so we'll find 592 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: out at least a little bit this week. Yeah, last 593 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: player that I'm excited to see would be the rookie punter, 594 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: Jordan's Stout. I love watching the punt game, right Yeah, 595 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's more right, Yeah, that's usually when 596 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: you're running to go get Oh that's what I'm getting 597 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: the head start on the snack. Come on, I know 598 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: you're running to the heat on the nacho bar. It's 599 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: fourth and ten. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You haven't watched the 600 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: Sam Cook point in the last walk into the nacho 601 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: just to make sure you don't miss a return. But 602 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's an important, very important position. 603 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: And to see him in his first game, you know, 604 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: you punted well in the stadium practice, which I talked 605 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: to him this week and he said that was a 606 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: real confidence booster to do it in that environment. And 607 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: this is a step up and so it'll be exciting 608 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: to see him do that. Um, the last day I 609 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about here, Garrett. Before we wrap up, 610 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: I do have another question. A note here, okay from 611 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: our guy Chris Wells, who met said hi to us, 612 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: said the practice out here which was much appreciated. I 613 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: always like when the lounge listeners say hello it practice. Yeah, 614 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: we always like you. I get tired of talking to 615 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: you day after day at practice. Mix it up a 616 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: little bit, get some fans out here. It's good to 617 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,479 Speaker 1: chat with. I love it so again, you can emails 618 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: at the lounge at Ravens on NFL dot Net. Chris 619 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: said it was great to be out of the Castle 620 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: Watch training camp. He has a few observations. One thing 621 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: that he just he mentioned was that Travis Jones looks 622 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: like he's ready to play a big role. So I'm 623 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: with you, Chris, we just talked about him. It's also 624 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: crazy to see how much Lamar has bulked up. Totally 625 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: agree with that. Chuck Clark, he says he looks like 626 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: the usual leader out there, and I'm really glad he's 627 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: still with the team. He looks like he's uh ready 628 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: to prove it again this So, yeah, what do you 629 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: think of Chuck? Does he play at all in the preseason? Um? 630 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: And you know, just what do you make of his 631 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: kind of the mix there at the safety position? I 632 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: would say that Chuck does not playing the preseason. Um, 633 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: He's proven it yea. And so uh, I think that 634 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: Chuck has looked really good in training camp though, like 635 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: really good. He's been around the ball a lot, very 636 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: competitive dude. Uh. You know seeing him step up and say, yeah, 637 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: I'll take Rashod Bateman in a one on one. I'll 638 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: step in against Mark Andrews in a one on one, 639 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: like you know, that's pretty bold. Um. And he's done 640 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: well he's held his own and so Chuck to me 641 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: is a still a very very important cog to this 642 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: in this defense and a starter right now as it 643 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: stands like he's the starter, so uh, you know, in 644 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: helping Marcus Williams get up to speed and helping Kyle 645 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: Hamilton's it was cool to see him too. When Kyle 646 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: Hamiltons made his first interception of training camp the other day, 647 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, first guy out there to to give him 648 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: dap him up and laugh and you know was Chuck Clark, 649 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, And so that's really good to say. Yeah, totally. 650 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: I think if the Ravens had, like if they were 651 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: playing a regular season game today, I do think Chuck 652 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: would be the starter. And you know, we'll see how 653 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: the rest of camp plays out and see how Kyle 654 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: Hamilton looks in these preseason games and all that. But 655 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: Chuck has done everything over the course of the summer 656 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: and the spring that he's done throughout his career, and 657 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of confidence in him in this building. 658 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: So all right, before the last thought, we want to 659 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: give a shout out to our friends over a wah wah. 660 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: Do you know that do you know a kid who 661 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: would love to score, TI gets to a game and 662 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: a chance to take a field with their favorite team. 663 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: That's pretty good price here. Okay, so you can enter 664 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: your kid for a chance to be recognized as the 665 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: wall Walk kickoff kid for an upcoming home game, so 666 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: they get a chance to be on the field and 667 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: get the tea. All right, it's pretty cool deal. I 668 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: would not trust. But if you want to nominate a 669 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: kids to win that today, they can visit Baltimore Ravens 670 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: dot com slash Kickoff Kids. How old are you? What's 671 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: the age requirements here? Can I enter you in that? 672 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: You would be so nervous you would I know, you 673 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: would trip, you would fall, you would look awkward. It 674 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: just would be bad. So you're not going to be 675 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: the kickoff kid for any game this year. Um. So, 676 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: the last thing I want to talk about is the 677 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: Ravens have a twenty game winning streak going into this game. 678 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: Gotta keep it rolling, right, I mean got to Yeah, 679 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean the preseason the preseason winning streak is fun, 680 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: but I don't really put much like Look, yes, if 681 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: you play a game you want to win. The players 682 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: are competitive, and the guys were out there are going 683 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: to say we want to win. But like, I don't 684 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: think that from You don't like game plan, you don't 685 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: turn up the turn on the Titans highlights. No, Like 686 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't think Greg Roman and Mike McDonald and John 687 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: Harbaugh are up there, like, all right, how can we 688 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: really throw these guys off? You know, we're looking to 689 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: really get creative with this preseason game so we can 690 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: keep the streak alive. Like, that's not what's happening. So 691 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: you just want your your team to play better than 692 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: their team. You want your team to play better than 693 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: their team, and you want your reserves to be better 694 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: than their reserves. So keep it rolling as long as possible. 695 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: But if it ends, I'm not gonna shed any tears. Right, Well, 696 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,959 Speaker 1: if it ends, then we you know, we get to say, well, 697 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: you know, get back. We dialed it back in training camp, 698 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, to make sure guys didn't get injured. And 699 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: you know that's why. That's why, So you know you 700 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: already you already got it ready. Huh oh yeah, I 701 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: gotta lined up. That sounds like me like you're not 702 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: very confident. No, I'm of course very confident. Big what 703 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: do I do the big today? No? No, No, for 704 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: the winning stream. No, no, not for preseason game. You 705 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: gotta stay that for the season. If every single one 706 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: is a big win, then the big please. It is 707 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: kind of weird playing the Titans. Do they come out 708 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: and stomp on the logo? If the Titans come out 709 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: in the preseason and stop on the midfield logo, I'm 710 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: going down there to fight him going down. I would 711 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: pay to see that. I would love to send you out. 712 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna please please do that. Um, it is kind 713 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: of weird to play the Titans because they're kind of 714 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: like a rival. Yeah yeah, and you're playing them in 715 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: the preseason. It's like it's not really like playing the 716 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: Steelers in the preseason, but it's on that path. Yeah, 717 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: that that game has elevated in terms of significance outside 718 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: outside the division. Probably, so right, I would say probably. 719 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean I would say so yeah. Yeah, I mean 720 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: you pay teams no longer really when you play I 721 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: mean the Chiefs, Yeah, Chiefs and Titans would be the ones. Yeah, 722 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: I think the Titans. I might put the Titans over 723 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: the Chiefs when you play, you know, back to back 724 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: playoff games against them and then a big regular season 725 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: game and you have kind of that extracurricular stuff that 726 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: just adds Marcus Peters, Yeah, that just adds to the 727 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: juice of a game like that. Yeah, shame geese man' 728 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: is notline up for this one. Yeah. I'll save him 729 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: for the regular season. I don't need him out there. 730 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: I guess Titans in a pre season anyway. Thanks for listening. 731 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: As Garrett said at the top, we will have our 732 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: morning after breakdown from Thursday night's games, so make sure 733 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: you keep it locked in here Friday and thanks for listening. 734 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: As always, you can reach us at the raven or 735 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: the Lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net and we'll 736 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: be back with you Friday morning.
