1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: We've got big.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: News at the Castle this week. Thank you. I was

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: going to do it and then I would have, but

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: you jumped in. Thank you.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Broderick Washington has signed a three year contract extension and

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: Rashad Bateman is back on the practice field killing off

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: the pup list. Uh so big news, really great news

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: in both cases.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: Let's start with Broddy Well, yeah, I mean When Big

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: News Happens podcast is ready. So we told you we

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: did the Nelson Aguilar podcast earlier this week, and as

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: that's dropping, we're recording another one here with the news

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: of Roger Washington turning and burning, so little plug. You know,

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: we're all excited about the news. But don't miss the

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: Nelson Aguilar podcast because he was really insightful. But in

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: terms of the news, yeah, I mean Projerck Washington if

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: you go back, and we talked about this during the

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: off season in terms of potential moves of the same

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: can make who's the next contract signing. I thought both

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: of us thought this could be something more likely in

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: the season. It's a little bit surprising to get done

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: right before the season starts. Great news, but it fits

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: the mold of what the Ravens like to do. I mean,

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: this is a homegrown player. He's been successful, according to reports.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: Aaron Wilson, veteran reporter and of NFL reporter, says it's

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: a three year, seventeen point five million contract and includes

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: six point three in signing and option bonuses and ten

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: million guaranteed. So those are the contract details, according to

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: Aaron Wilson, And so you know this is it fits

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: what the Ravens like. I mean, Broderick Washington, late round pick,

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: his blossom tier has turned into a really quality player.

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: It's not a contract signing that like blows the doors

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: off from a salary cap standpoint. But you get a

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: really good player, he's proven himself here in Baltimore, and

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: then you keep him in house and you have him

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: at a good price. It's a win win across the board.

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: And then Broger goes gets the security this season, knowing

39
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: that he's got a long term deal in place.

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: He gets right, what was it, ten million?

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: Ten million guarantee guarantee?

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: JA Like all right, I'm good, Yeah, you know what

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean.

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: Like for a fifth round pick coming out of Texas Tech,

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: you know who is grinding his whole life. You know,

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: I know a little bit about Broderick's backstory, and you know,

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: wasn't easy, Like had to put in a lot of

48
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: work to find the odds, you know, fifth round pick

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: to get this kind of contract that doesn't happen all

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: that all that often either.

51
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a testament to him and his

52
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: hard work.

53
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: And one quote that immediately just jumped out for me

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: came from Anthony Weaver earlier in training camp. He said, quote,

55
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a person in this building

56
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: that works harder than Broderick Washington, And so like this

57
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: is just he's a Raven and he's on the up right.

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he's gone to step into Kalais Campbell's starting

59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: spot at d N on this line. And really, when

60
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: you look at it down the line, the Ravens don't

61
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: have a ton of defense, Like what's their twenty twenty

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: four defensive line look like, Yeah, you know you have

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: Brody and Justin Mattybeekay both going into contracts, contract years.

64
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: Michael Pierce I think has one is in the last

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: year of his deal.

66
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: I want to say, Brent Urban's on a one year deal, right, So, like,

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: what's your Travis Jones is the only guy signed for

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, was the only guy before Broddy. Now,

69
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: so it kind of keeps a key piece, hard worker,

70
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: plays like a raven you know, keeps him in house

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: for the long haul.

72
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just think that, like he deserves a

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: ton of credit here to your point, like this is

74
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: a fifth round pick. When when that twenty twenty draft

75
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: took place, Nolan was saying, like, man, Progerck Washington's gonna

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: be the first guy from that class to get a

77
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: contract extension. Yeah, you know that that's that was a

78
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: class Patrick Queen at the top than JK. Dobbins, Justin

79
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: at Abik.

80
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Who classes like a pretty sweet yeah.

81
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Devin Duvername, Eli Harrison, Tyer Phillis, Ben Bredeston, Projerck Washington,

82
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: and then Perschet and Gino Stone yep, well Ginaston actually

83
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: actually actually Geno not the first contact extension. But yeah,

84
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: so I think that, uh, just give him a ton

85
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: of credit for working to the point where he gets

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: that deal. And like, I really think the Ravens defensive

87
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: front is going to be good this year. I know

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: they part of ways with Klays Campbell this offseason, and

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: that's a tough loss. But everything that I've seen from

90
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: this defensive front in practice has been encouraging. And roder Camtibike,

91
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: like those two guys look like they can be disruptive forces.

92
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we were all looking at it

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: and saying Broadwick Washington could.

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Last year, he had a really solid year.

95
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: He had kind of a breakout year, you know, forty

96
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: nine tackles career high, and really I don't think many,

97
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: none of us are really talking much about him going

98
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: into last year, right, and then he turned into I

99
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: think he started nine games. I mean, he played a

100
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: pretty big role. And I've said it a few times.

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: I thought he was one of the biggest surprises, like

102
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: like you know, breakout players on the defense last season

103
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: he was, and I think a lot of us now

104
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: are saying he can take that next step, like he's

105
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: still there's he's still kind of on the beginning of

106
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: that upswing. And so you sign them before the breakout,

107
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: potential breakout, breakout?

108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: How many breakouts can you have too after the breakout?

109
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: Here I always give you a hard time about this.

110
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: It's actually funny. I went back and I listened to

111
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: one of some some parts of a podcast that we

112
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: did during the fourth of July break and we talked

113
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: about some of this and we and we both said

114
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: that we could see a Progerc deal happening at that time.

115
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: But we also discussed breakout players. And you're naming off

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton, and I'm like, how many

117
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: breakout players can this guy have?

118
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: It? Rob was ready for breakout number two?

119
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, maybe there's a three and a four down

120
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: one and we'll see, but two's happening, okay in the Ravens.

121
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a wise move to it

122
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: just works for both sides. Like they they sign them

123
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: to what's I think a fair deal, you know, and

124
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: it kind of you know, looking at the price tag

125
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: of it, I think it takes into account what they

126
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: think he's going to do this year beyond right, But

127
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: it's if he go went out and had eight sacks

128
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: this year's that'd be high, six sacks whatever, and had

129
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: this huge year, he'd be looking at a bigger payday

130
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: a year from now.

131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing though.

132
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you lock in these guys early, it just

133
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: it works for both sides.

134
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: There's risk either way. Like there's risk if the Ravens

135
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: don't sign him and then he goes out and has

136
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: a six seven, eight sack year. Well, now he's getting

137
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: a bigger contract, so then he's present himself. He's probably

138
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: priced himself out, so then the Ravens would lose out

139
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: on him. Now he gets more money. But the flip

140
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: side is the Ravens sign him now and they get

141
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: potentially they they give him. It's a deal, it's a

142
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: fait you know, you said.

143
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: Like, it's not like they signed for nothing.

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: You know, they gave him a fair deal, like good

145
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: a good reported amount of money, but it's not like

146
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: this mega mega deal, and so you get that and

147
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: so you maybe get a discount if he were to

148
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: have that eight sax season, but if he doesn't, like

149
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: at the same time, he gets the security, so there's

150
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: it's mutually beneficial there, Like he gets the security, the

151
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: Ravens get a player who they really believe in long term,

152
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: and I just think everybody's happy. And it's just like

153
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: I just think that this is when the Ravens talk

154
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: about scouting and turning over every stone. This is an

155
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: example of it. This is a late round pick out

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: of Texas Tech who they felt like could develop into

157
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: a really quality player, and now he gets some nice contract.

158
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: Yep, you brought up Klais Campbell, and so I dug

159
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: up this quote from Kalais in April.

160
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: This is after he signed with the Falcons.

161
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: I was talking to Justina Anderson on the Crew podcast

162
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: and he was kind of talking about how he understood,

163
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, the Ravens were expressing interest in bringing him back.

164
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: There's a possibility, but Eric Ticassa kind of said we

165
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: can't make it work for salary cap reasons.

166
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna work.

167
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: And like Kalais was like, Okay, I get it, I understand.

168
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: And his quote was, they got some young beasts in Baltimore.

169
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: I told Broderick Washington, man, you're playing so good, you're

170
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: gonna get me cut. I told him that at the

171
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 2: end of the year, he's a great young player. Wow,

172
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: that's from Klais. Yeah, And so that tells you a

173
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: little something, right and Broaderck Washington stepping into that, don't

174
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't recall what Kalais's deal was with the Falcons,

175
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: but you're probably getting Broaderick this year at a lower

176
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: cap number than what Kalayis would have been for a

177
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: one year deal.

178
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: Let's just say, and you have broaderick for years to.

179
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: Come, right, So at every point, and we've had this

180
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: conversation on the practice field, at some point you have

181
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: to turn the page from veterans to young guys and

182
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: you have to bet on the young guys development, right,

183
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: And you know, the Ravens did that cornerback. They didn't

184
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: bring back Marcus Peters, and they're going to rely on

185
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: a younger corner whether that be Rocky Scene, whether that

186
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: be Jalen Armor Davis or whomever, Brandon Stevens that starts

187
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: the opposite of Marlin.

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: And it's always a tough calculation to make, right.

189
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just say Marcus Peters and Jalen Armor Davis, right, Like,

190
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: Marcus Peters at this stage of his career just much

191
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: more knowledgeable about the game and all that he brings

192
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. Like right now, is he a

193
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: better player right now than Jalen R.

194
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: Davis.

195
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: Maybe, But Marcus Peters is on the tail end of

196
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: his career and Jalen Armor Davis is rapidly ascending, and

197
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: at some point that they're gonna meet.

198
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Or jail in Arma.

199
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: Davis's hopefully going to surpass Marcus Peters level of play.

200
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: When is that gonna happen? Does that happened this Year's

201
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: has happened early in the years, has happened late in year?

202
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: It's it happened not till next season.

203
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: We don't know.

204
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: But that's what these guys, Eric Cossen and the front

205
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 2: office get paid to make those calculations, right, It's all

206
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: piece is a puzzle. This is a calculation that they

207
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: made with Broderick Washington and Kaalais Campbell, right like they

208
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: would have loved to bring brought Kaalais back, just like

209
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: I think they probably would have liked Marcus Peters or

210
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: Justin Houston or any of those veterans that departed this offseason.

211
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: But at some point you have to say, we like

212
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: this young player, we think he's going to be a

213
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: really good player, and we're projecting based on what they've

214
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: done already and what we see in practice and all

215
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: that stuff. We're projecting what they're gonna be and it's

216
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: time to turn the page.

217
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all that makes a lot of sense,

218
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: and I just think it's really happy for project and

219
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 3: you know, it's interesting, Like he's a good dude.

220
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: I like Brady.

221
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he is a really hard worker. I mean,

222
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: this is a guy who lives in the weight room.

223
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: It works really hard behind the scenes.

224
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 2: He's always always on the field late, early. He puts

225
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: in the work he does.

226
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not shocking to see him be one

227
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: of the last guys off the field put in an

228
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: extra work with the defensive line coach or he really

229
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: I think he learned a lot from Kalais. And you know,

230
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: I think that that quote from Kalais stands out to

231
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: me because he was right basically, and and he also

232
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 3: I think Kalais deserves credit for helping those young guys

233
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: when he was here, Like Kalais was a guy when

234
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: he was here. They really helped Justin Madebek and progerc

235
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: Washington mentor them along, I think helped in their development.

236
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: And then ultimately, like you know, I'm sure he's got

237
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: a big smile on his face today knowing that uh,

238
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: Proderick gets this nice payday which he which he earned. Sure,

239
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: and also the least thing I would say, you know,

240
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: it's interesting, like I don't want to I don't want

241
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: to move move on too quickly from Proderick's deal. But

242
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: like Mattabek is the other one.

243
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was about to say. What does

244
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: this mean for Justin Madebek.

245
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's a great question. Like

246
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: I think that it's when I look at it would

247
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: be great if you get both these guys signed long term,

248
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: and I think, who knows if that happens. But we

249
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: talked I think in a podcast last week about Madabik

250
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: and just you know, he's a guy. He probably will

251
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: have more pass rush production, I would think than Project Washington.

252
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's guys often get paid, sacks often get paid,

253
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: and I think Mada Bk has double digit sack potential.

254
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: I really do.

255
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's that would be asking a lot,

256
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: but I think that I.

257
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Think the potential exists. Yeah, he could get there.

258
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: He could get there, and the rooms have a lot

259
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: of faith in him, and you know, he could find

260
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: himself in no situation where he prices himself out. But

261
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: they also you know, if we're doing an emergency podcast

262
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: again sometime in the next few weeks or during the season,

263
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 3: like it wouldn't shock me either.

264
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Justin Mattabik.

265
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: I think if you were going to sign him right

266
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: now would probably come into a higher dollar amount.

267
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Well, I think so.

268
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean he's had more pastor with five and a

269
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: half sacks, he's had more production right in comparisons. Yeah,

270
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: I mean here's a I mean, both are really talented guys.

271
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: You know, I really like Justin Mattabike's outlook when he's

272
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: been asked about going into a contract year and he's

273
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: just like, man, I'm just I'm keep.

274
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: My head down and like, I know that I'm gonna

275
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: get paid.

276
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: At some points, especially if I just focus on my

277
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: work and have a really big year.

278
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: And so it would not surprise me.

279
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: As we've said previously, the Ravens look at these two young,

280
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: talented defensive tackles and they say, and you got Lamar

281
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: on his deal, and you got a lot of guys.

282
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: That are coming up, you know, Patrick Queen, JK.

283
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: Dobbins, you got you got guys in lines and get

284
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: paid right, and you can't pay everybody, as we've said

285
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: a million times, and uh, you know, does does that

286
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: mean you get you pay Broderick and you can't pay

287
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: Justin matd Beeking? Like if one guy was gonna price

288
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 2: himself out of Baltimore. Probably the more likely one was

289
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: gonna be Justin matt Ban Yeah. Again, I'll say I

290
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: hope that. I well, part of me hopes he does

291
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: price himself out because he has and he has a

292
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: monster season and Ravens on the super Bowl and we

293
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: just can't right, Okay, I'll you know, I'll take it,

294
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: and he'll take it with a ring on his finger

295
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: and whatever, see you later.

296
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: You know.

297
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: The other part of me says, like, man, maybe don't

298
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: have ten sacks, we can sign you back. Yeah, I

299
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 2: don't know, Like it would be awesome to have both

300
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: those guys here for a long time. But I just

301
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 2: think that probably the Ravens are looking at the situation saying,

302
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: Matty b K could he's gonna go for a big number. Ye,

303
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: he's already probably if you try to get him done

304
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: before the season, a big number.

305
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: Well.

306
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 3: That's the other thing too, is sometimes these guys get

307
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: to this point where they're right kind of on the

308
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: precipice and they say, you know what, I'll bet them

309
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: all see exactly, which I think that, like it just

310
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: depends on the type of player, but like the exact

311
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: player up front?

312
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: Right now, do you want the guarantees? You want the

313
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: ten million guarantee that's reported for product or you say,

314
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna wait it out and I'm

315
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: gonna go for that higher number.

316
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Right.

317
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: And there's been cases where it's gone both ways. You know,

318
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: some guy's wait and it doesn't pan out. Some guys

319
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: wait and they end up cashing in. So I think,

320
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: I just think it's a great deal. So let's take

321
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: a quick break and then when we come back, we'll

322
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: discuss for Sean Bateman's return to the practice field. All right,

323
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: we are coming to you from the Seat Geek studio here,

324

336
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: All right.

337
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: So big news also is Rashard Batemaneah in terms of practice,

338
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: and this is something that we've all kind of been

339
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: waiting and wondering when this is going to happen. And

340
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: you know, John Harborough told us soon.

341
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: It was very sick, very sick.

342
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: He wasn't but he didn't want to give an exact date.

343
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of times when you hear

344
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: vague terms like that, you start to think, oh, it's

345
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: going to be a while. But all of a sudden,

346
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: he's back a few days later, and it's great news.

347
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a guy who's been coming back

348
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: from a very serious injury, a list Frank injury that

349
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: can take a lot of time to heal from, and

350
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: now he's back on the field with a month to

351
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: go before week one. It's going to be a ramp

352
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: up period. We'll see how quickly he can ramp things up.

353
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: But I think it's a big sign to have him

354
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: back on the field.

355
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

356
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: Now he can see the full potential of this passing

357
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: offense with Rashat Bateman on the field, you know, I

358
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: mean he's a starting wide receiver. You look at the

359
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: depth chart, it's him, Obj and really z Flowers are

360
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: kind of projected to be the top three. Nelson Aguilor

361
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: or Devin Duvernet. This is the unofficial depth chart, which

362
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: you know is iron clad, super super important. But obviously

363
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: Rashat Bateman. As I've said previously, I think the Ravens

364
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: passing offense can be really good even if we shot

365
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: Bateman's foot were to be an issue, uh huh. But

366
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: Rashot Bateman is a fantastic player when he's healthy. And

367
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: for the Ravens passing offense and the offense as a

368
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: whole to reach its potential, you need Bateman on the field.

369
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a guy that we've seen. Bateman can

370
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: do it all, baby, can do it all.

371
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: You can be a big play guy. We saw the

372
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: take the slant to the house against the Dolphins. He

373
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: can go over the top, he can make acrobatic catches,

374
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: he can work the sidelines. He can do it all.

375
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: He's super talented. First round pick. The whole issue has

376
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: been health for him. This rookie season kind of got

377
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: off to a slow start after the core muscle surgery

378
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: and then last year obviously with the foot, and now

379
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: I think the important thing is how close to pre

380
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: injury is it. We've seen with Hollywood, we saw it

381
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Smith. The list Frank is no joke. It

382
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: is no joke, and even when you come back, it

383
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: can take some time to work through it and work

384
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: through the pain and all that. Now, I think that

385
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: that's really part of the reason why he hasn't been

386
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: practicing is that structurally John Harball has said his foot

387
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: was fine. There was some ancillary things that come up

388
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: with the list Frank, where you get pain points and

389
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: all that stuff as you're working back, and they just

390
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: didn't want to push for Shabab. They didn't want to

391
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: push him when he just didn't feel good. And so

392
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: it's a good sign that he feels good, you know, Yeah,

393
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: but I wouldn't rule out that there could still be

394
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: some of that process for him to work through as

395
00:16:59,320 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: he moves forward.

396
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: Look, we've seen this, I mean last year is a

397
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: good example. I mean, fortunately the Ravens don't It's not

398
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: a situation like last year where you have basically like

399
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: five or six major questions with guys coming back from

400
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: the injuries, the running backs, Marcus Peters, Ronnie Stanley, Tys Pausers,

401
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: like all these guys that you're like, when are they

402
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: gonna get back? And whenever these players were turned from

403
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: really serious injuries, there's a ramp up period. So like

404
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't return and go through eleven on eleven, you know,

405
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: running one hundred reps out there at practice, like there's

406
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: a ramp up. We saw Bateman on the field at

407
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: times during offseason practices, but he.

408
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 1: Was it was limited. He looked good. It was individuals

409
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: individual explosively looked good.

410
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: I thought I thought it just was like such a

411
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: small sample size and he was running some routes on air.

412
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: I do not think he ever was From what I saw,

413
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: it seemed like he was running one hundred percent. You know,

414
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: I think that like he had bursts, but I never

415
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 3: thought that. I was like, oh man, he looks like

416
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: that injury is not even a question. But then they

417
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: you know, he went on the shelf, got a cortzone

418
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: shot right around Mini camp, and then he's been working

419
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: his way back since that point. And so I think

420
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: that like there is gonna be this ramp up period.

421
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: It would not shock me as he works his way

422
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 3: back if it's like, you know, he's on the field

423
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: for three days and he's off for one like that.

424
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 3: They've that's been the case with other guys coming back.

425
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: Maybe not. Maybe he'll just like be on the field

426
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: and he'll be good go and he'll feel really great.

427
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: And he took his time. So however long it takes

428
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: him to be like full go ready for game action,

429
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 3: I don't exactly know, but I think that it is

430
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 3: really encouraging. And I agree with your point about if

431
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: this offense is going to be as good as it

432
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: can be, like you need Versawe Bateman Well.

433
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Isaiah Likely I thought had a good quote this week

434
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 2: when he said we want the defense to have no answers. Yeah, yeah,

435
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: And I think Bateman's a key part of that.

436
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna give Odell.

437
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: Defense are gonna give Odell some attention, particularly I think

438
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: in the around the red zone he's gonna he's gonna

439
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: draw some eyes because he's Odell Beckham yep. Especially when

440
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: he comes out there week one and he looks like

441
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham again, right, like he's looking practice. Yes, Zay Flowers.

442
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: I bet people are reading the clips on ze Flowers. Huh,

443
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure. And just the having another dynamic Nelly. You know,

444
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: he's been really good having these third.

445
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: Fourth, second.

446
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: You know, when you have all of these premiere weapons.

447
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden, this guys are getting single

448
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: coverage and Bateman's releases and how quickie is that dude

449
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: can beat single coverage? Like last year, going into the year,

450
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: Baitman was the clear number one, clear number one wide

451
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: receiver and so he was treated as such. He's gonna

452
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: get better looks this year.

453
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I mean look last year, as we've

454
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: said a million times, like all eggs were kind of

455
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: in the Bateman basket and then he got hurt. Yep,

456
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: And that's not the case this year. The Ravens have

457
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 3: a ton of depth at that position. They've got top

458
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: end players, they've got depth throughout. So there's not nearly

459
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: as much on his shoulders, which I think is really

460
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: good because now he gets back on the field and

461
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: he doesn't need to feel internal pressure or external pressure

462
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: to be like all right, well I need to get

463
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: back out there right away to play eighty snaps Week one,

464
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: to get ten targets come on my way and.

465
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Knowing we're shot. Babyan.

466
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: He's a confident dude. Yeah, he is a very confident dude.

467
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 2: And I'm sure, uh he's also looking at Odell and

468
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: looking at Zay and seeing all the buzz about them,

469
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: and he's he's hungry. I'm sure to prove. Yeah, I'm

470
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: still a Reshot Batman. Don't don't be sleeping or forget

471
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: what Rashot Bateman can be, right, I mean, he he

472
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: knows just how talented he is and what he can be,

473
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: and he hasn't been able to show it yet because

474
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: of his health completely. We've seen flashes and and those

475
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: flashes have been awesome, but he hasn't had the full

476
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: season yet. And I'm sure he knows he's this is

477
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: a big year three for him. And just when you're

478
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: looking down the line for him and his contract in

479
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: his future, right, are the Ravens gonna pick up his

480
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 2: fifth year option that would come that decision will come

481
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: after this season, yep, and next offseason. And so this

482
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: is a big year for him in his career. He

483
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: knows that the writing is on the wall, and so

484
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: I think that Rashot Bateman if he can stay healthy,

485
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: and this is the beginning of that, you know, him

486
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: returning to the field and hopefully knock on wood. We've

487
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: done it already. Nobody's getting hurt this year because we

488
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: knocked on the wood of football.

489
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: Yep.

490
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: H If he can do that, like, we're shot Bateman.

491
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: As I've said before, I have a lot of faith

492
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: in that dude. And I really don't know how to

493
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: splice up what wide receiver is going to get the most,

494
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 2: and I think it's going to be fairly even. And

495
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: all these guys have the potential to be a thousand

496
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 2: yard guy. I'm not saying all of them are going

497
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: to be doing zy Odell and who That would be

498
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: a crazy bess Mark.

499
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 3: Now you're getting to that. Lamar's getting to a six

500
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: thousand exactly exactly.

501
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: Plus the running backs, Yeah, can gus put up a

502
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: thousand receivers?

503
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 2: You know, Like, I'm not saying that all those guys

504
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: are going to do that, but they all have the potential.

505
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: And it's and to my earlier point, it's really pick

506
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: your poison.

507
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I just think that this will I

508
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: think that Bateman's return unlocks a lot for this offense

509
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 3: and it's all going to depend on how quickly he

510
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: can get back to feeling like himself, and that's just

511
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: something that will take time. And then we'll be watching

512
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,200
