1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: I think pass rusher in first round. That's what I 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: would go with. Heard a lot of Ravens fans reach 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: out to me and say, is there a chance we 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: get Patrick Queen? Where we're sitting here with a trade up, 5 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: I don't think Patrick Queen is there? Is there a 6 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: chance Kenneth Murray's there at twenty are no? Probably not 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Ravens. What am I looking for? Well? 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: Can you catch a football? Can you block? And are 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: you okay not being the guy targeted fifteen to twenty 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: times a game? So the end of the day you're picked. 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: We are taking out of the University of Iowa to 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: fill in the giant holes of having an Iowa guy 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: on our team that's gonna be a leader, edge rusher, 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: A j Epanessa. Welcome into the lounge. We are getting 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: closer and close to the draft. It's only a week 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: and a day a how many sleeps is that? You know? What? 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: What's what's I loose? Run out of fingers? I think 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: we got I think there're there's seven. Uh yeah, man, 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: I can't wait. Um it's it's gonna be fun. That's 20 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: seven more nights of minkering. Here we go. Yeah, that's 21 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: actually that's terrible for you. That's seven more sleepless nights. 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I seriously do have a pit in my 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: stomach already. I'm serious. I I do love the draft, man, 24 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: and I get like, I can't imagine how eric the 25 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: costumers feel because I get nervous about it and like 26 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: nervous excited about it. I honestly think that, Uh, I 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: get more amped up for the draft and I do 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: for some regular season games. Yeah, yeah, for some of them, 29 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 1: that's that's probably the case. So to discuss the draft, 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: I know fans have been listening to us discuss it 31 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: at nausea for the past month. So we wanted to 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: talk to somebody who really had has really plugged in, 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: uh and it's talking to more people around the NFL 34 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: than just about anyone else.

Um, We've got 51 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: the last game at cold Field House ever played March third, 52 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: two thousand two. Everyone knows where they were when that 53 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: one happened. And I am just surround. There's a Final 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: four poster from two thousand two when the Maryland Turps 55 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: one and all. I'm literally there's more cal En stuff 56 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: around me right now than I ever cared to see. 57 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: I'm from New York. I live in New York. We 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: temporarily moved out of our place in New York through 59 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: the space concerns. Um, so I'm living more or less 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: in abasement with my wife and my son, and we 61 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: are decked out in Baltimore sports paraphernalia here, and I 62 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: could not be more pleased. I love it. It's awesome. Well, 63 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, like when you're at your parents house or 64 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: you're at your in law's house, those places kind of 65 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: just are a time capsule. And that's exactly like what 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: you're in right now, like you leave in your room 67 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: from high school never changes because everything is still the same. No, exactly. 68 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to ruin the shot here. 69 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: But there's like a giant cal Ripken book that's that's 70 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: balancing this this video camera right now. I've read it. 71 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Not only I read it once, I read it twice 72 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: because there's not much other reading material. I'm like, you 73 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: know about cal Ripken Circle before he broke the record, 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Like I got it all down because I've read it's biography. 75 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: Now now, Peter, I moved in with my in laws 76 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: during a kitchen renovation. How how long do you think 77 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: you can stay at the in laws house without going insane? 78 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: They're great, it's going well. Like I I was, I 79 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: was not at all worried, but like I it took 80 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: a couple of days to adjust of just not being 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: the man of the house necessarily. I'm quite alright being 82 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: a passenger. I'm fine, Like like six thirty, it's like 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: dinner is ready. I'm like, I'm coming, let's go. Ready. 84 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: It's good. I mean, that's awesome. So obviously we want 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: to have you on to talk a little draft. Um. 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: You know the Ravens very well, so let's just start 87 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: a big picture. What do you think they need to 88 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: do in this year's draft to add some players to 89 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: kind of get him over that hump and get to 90 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: that next level. Yeah, you know, Gary, I look at 91 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: this team and it's one of the deepest rosters in 92 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: the league, and yet there's always room for improvement. I 93 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: think pass rusher in first round, that's what I would 94 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: go with. I know everyone wants the linebackers. Heard a 95 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: lot of Ravens fans reach out to me and say, 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: is there a chance we get Patrick Queen? Where we're 97 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: sitting here with a trade up, I don't think Patrick Queen. 98 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: Is there is there a chance Kenneth Murray's there at 99 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight? What are no? Probably not, but you could 100 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: get a high end defensive end or pass rushing type. 101 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: I look at guys like uh A j Panessa at Iowa. 102 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: I look at a your tour gross Matos out of 103 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: Penn State. These are guys that are playing at a 104 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: high level and are gonna be first round picks, and 105 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: because a lot of teams are gonna be overdrafting offensive line, 106 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: which I don't think is an area that Ravens necessarily need. 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: I think I know yonda and you might want to 108 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: replace that. That'll you'll get to that. I think they 109 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: could still get pass rush at the end of the 110 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: first round, and like a good pass rusher, a guy 111 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: that could contribute in year one, right. I think what's 112 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: interesting is, you know, obviously, like you're talking about, the 113 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: Ravens need more sacks, right, they were near the near 114 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: the bottom of the bottom quarter of the league in 115 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: Sex last year, you know, but you have jude On 116 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: and you have Jalen Ferguson coming back. So do you 117 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: see your tourgards Mantos is being kind of a guy 118 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: who you know, chips in and as a third pass 119 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: rusher and then maybe potentially takes over for Judean if 120 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: you weren't signed to a long term deal or something. Yeah, 121 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: and I think you're always looking for death. I think 122 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: about what Wink does on defense. There are so many 123 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 1: guys that come in and make plays. They're like, well, 124 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: how many plays did he play? How many snaps did 125 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: he get? And You're like, oh, he only played that 126 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: many snaps. I felt like he was all over the field. 127 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: Because they have such a great rotation up front. I 128 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: think you add another body in there. You know, I 129 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: think Brandon Williams might be one of the most underrated 130 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: defensive alignment in the entire league. I don't think a 131 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: defensive tackle is necessarily an area for need or a 132 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: guy inside, but you kind of need some of those 133 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: edge rushers, and you need some of those guys at 134 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: the other end of Brandon Williams whenever else is gonna 135 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: be going next to him with Michael pier Scott, Like, 136 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: I like what they have up front, and yet I 137 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: think you could always add another pass rusher. So you 138 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: mentioned Kenneth Burry, you think that he's gonna be gone. 139 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: Both the guys Queen and Moor. You probably spent more 140 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: time talking about those two guys than anyone else. And 141 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: maybe just because we love great linebacker play here in Baltimore. 142 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 1: But I'm curious to get your perspective on Kenneth Murray 143 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: because you've said that you heard from NFL people that 144 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: at the combine he had one of the most impressive 145 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: interviews and the off the field stuff really kind of 146 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: wowed some of these NFL teams. How do I do 147 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: it without giving away my source? A FC team is 148 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: your source, Erica Costa? I was gonna say, isn't a raven. 149 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Anyone who tells you their sources, 150 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: Eric da Costa is full of it because he doesn't 151 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: talk to anybody. Uh. A f C team coach not 152 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: saying if it's a coordinator, if it's an assistant coach, 153 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: but an FC team coach says, we don't need this guy. 154 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: We just had one of the best combine interviews I've 155 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: ever been a part of in twenty years of doing this. 156 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: This Kenneth Murray. And if you just want to know 157 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: who Kenneth Murray is, he showed up in Norman, Oklahoma 158 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: as a seventeen year old Okay was a captain by 159 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: his sophomore season, and his life story is incredible to 160 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: even get to where he is. But something that happened 161 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: when he was eleven years old. And I'm sure you 162 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: guys have talked about her. You've read some of the articles. 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: His mother, who is a retired police officer, and his father, 164 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: who is a pastor, adopted three children with special needs 165 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: and brought him into the Murray household. And Kenneth helped 166 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: raise those three kids. And he looks at them like 167 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: as if their blood brothers and sisters, and also considers 168 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: them dear friends and really the inspiration for him to 169 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: go out there every day. So he shares his story 170 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: with this team and he's not doing it and hey, 171 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: hey look at me, or let me tell you why. 172 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: It's just pretty matter of fact. This is who I am. 173 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: And he is a leader, a born leader. He has 174 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: a field general. So you think of the great linebacker 175 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: leaders of recent history, and of course Ray Lewis comes 176 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: to mind, and of course Brian Urlacher and Bobby Wagner 177 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: up in Seattle. This coach was telling me, and it's 178 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: been echoed by several other coaches. Look, I don't know 179 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: if he's the best sideline to sideline. I don't know 180 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: if his forty is going to be the best. But 181 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to a guy who is going to 182 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: step on the field and demand west back to be 183 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: able to call out the plays and know what a 184 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: locker room is all about. It's Kenneth Murray. So you 185 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: hear that and he starts thinking, oh gosh, is that 186 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: is there more of a Raven than what you hear? 187 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: Right and there, like that is a perfect fit, and 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: yet I don't think he's still around at the end 189 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: of the first round. I'll give you a name that 190 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: has gotten a lot of buzz over the last few days, 191 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: and it wasn't even like weeks that I've heard about, 192 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: not necessarily for the Ravens, but another linebacker in the mix, 193 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: a guy that you probably haven't doing done as much 194 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: work on. Jordan's Brooks out of Texas Tech. This lightning 195 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: fast linebacker who's battling a shoulder injury right now. But 196 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: apparently he is a guy that might slip into the 197 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: first round and might be there at the end of 198 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: the first round after Simmons, Murray queen or off the 199 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: board'll do us a favor and stop talking about Murray. Okay, 200 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: you're selling them a little too hard, and all these 201 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: coaches and GM's are gonna watch you and now he's 202 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: there's no chance he's coming to the Ravens of twenty, 203 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: so just keep it quiet. Not a position you necessarily 204 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: see drafted so high. Last year the Buccaneers took Evan 205 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: White in the top five, and I think we're like, 206 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: do you take a middle linebacker like Patrick Willis a 207 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: few years ago? Keekly? Of course, Steelers traded up to 208 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: get your right Devon bush Um, but not like you 209 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: see eleven linebackers off the board. So there is a 210 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: chance that if Queen goes and Simmons goes, there is 211 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: a chance if the Ravens on a trade up, maybe 212 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: not twenty picks, but trade up five or six picks, 213 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray could be there's well. So Eric de Costa 214 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: had kind of a conference call with reporters the other 215 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: day and we asked him where he thought Murray was 216 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna go. He goes, ah, top forty. When you hear that, 217 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: is that, Eric, just you know, a little smoke screen? 218 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: What are you thinking on that? Look, it's the position 219 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: because if you look at this this NFL right now, 220 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: protect your quarterback right, get your offensive tackles. I think 221 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: you guys feel pretty good about Zeus and and Stanley 222 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: like those are your set, right, you don't need that. 223 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: Get your quarterback, I think with an m v P, 224 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: I think you're pretty good at that. And then of 225 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: course get your pass rushers. You guys have pretty solid 226 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: pass rushers across the board, and in this draft, it's 227 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: offensive tackles, it is wide receivers, and it's pass rushers 228 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: that are really deep. Teams might be reaching to start 229 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: getting those guys and might overdraft them. Meaning middle linebacker 230 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: which most teams have their guy or inside linebacker don't 231 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: value it as much as pass rush and protecting the quarterback. 232 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: Those guys could slip. I'm telling you, if Murray's there 233 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: at eight, I would expect that would be the pick. 234 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: And if he isn't the pick and he slips out 235 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: of the first round is something that I didn't know 236 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: about as far as the player on the field, right. 237 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: What so you bring up wide receiver as a as 238 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: a Baltimore guy, a guy who married into a Ravens 239 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: family here, I'm sure you've heard a lot about wide 240 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: receivers over the years and the Ravens need to get some. 241 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: What do you expect, like, what kind of wide receiver 242 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: who are some guys that you think, maybe you know, 243 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: they could interest the Ravens. Could they go there in 244 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: the first round? What do you expect them to do 245 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: with wide receiver in the draft? Hold on, let me 246 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: get my brother in law's Breshad Perriman Jersey. I think, 247 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: wow out no h and he's still pairmoun had a 248 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: good season last year. He kind of turned it around. Um, 249 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: but yes, uh, it's you know, there's been moments where 250 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: that position has been really good. I mean Steve Smith 251 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: and a Koombolden were two of the best UH to 252 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: ever play the position and they had great season. Tory 253 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: Smith obviously a legend. And yet you look at this 254 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: last last season that there's gotta be a lot of 255 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: reason for optimism after what Hollywood Brown did in that 256 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: playoff loss, Like Hollywood was amazing in that game, and 257 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: he was finally fully healthy and looked good. And then 258 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: if Boykin can can be anything. On the other end, 259 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: you've got two guys from the same draft class that 260 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: you kind of like. And of course those other guys 261 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: um are kind of filling the hole. Guys who know 262 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: they're not gonna get thirty targets a game in this 263 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: offense or not get ten targets a game and they're 264 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: pretty happy. So wide receiver for the Ravens, what am 265 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: I looking for? Well? Can you catch a football? Can 266 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: you block? And are you okay not being the guy 267 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: targeted fifteen to twenty times a game because you're likely 268 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: the third wide receiver, which means blocking is important five 269 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: of ten targets maybe? And then oh yeah, can you 270 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: learn our offense and be where you need to be 271 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: when Lamar is gonna get it to you? You know, 272 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: I look at that Ravens offense. I still as much 273 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: as everyone wants to make Lamar Jackson into you know this, this, this, 274 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: this dynamic passer, their offense isn't dictated that way. You're 275 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: gonna throw the deep shot to Hollywood, You're gonna get 276 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: the tight ends involved, and you might get a number 277 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: two wide receiver have eight or nine catches in a game, 278 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: but it is not gonna be ten targets for all 279 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: three wide receivers. And you guys know that. So I 280 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: don't see it as a higher priority as maybe some 281 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: outside uh the organization or some of the media are 282 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: looking at it as So when you look at Lamar, 283 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to build off of an MVP season when 284 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: you're already have that kind of a year. But what 285 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: do you think is a regression for him? Like last 286 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: year it was all about take a step as a passer, 287 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and he obviously did that and had a much better 288 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: passing season, much better overall season than anybody expected. So 289 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: what's the next step for him? I think, you know 290 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: it's crazy to say that, right, like, but look at 291 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: what Mahomes did last year, Like there was no way 292 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: he could be better, and ma Homes might have had 293 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: a better than he did twenty nineteen and certainly had 294 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: a better postseason. So this is not gonna make headlines. 295 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: But like, all right, now, Lamar's O and two in 296 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: the playoffs, Like now it's time, like let's go win 297 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: a playoff game. And I know it's you have to 298 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: wait till January, but I remember Kirk Cousins last year 299 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: had all these big wins in the regular season, and 300 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: I kept on saying on Good Morning Football, I don't care, 301 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: like it doesn't this doesn't do anything for me, Like 302 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: I see me in January, Cousins goes into New Orleans Beach, 303 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: Drew Brees in the Saints and I'm like, all right, 304 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: like now now you you've done that next level, Like 305 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: after m v P, what's the next accomplishment. I don't 306 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: think anything individually is what we're looking from Lamar, Like 307 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: can you say you could become a better passer, he 308 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: could throw into a tighter windows shot, That's all that's 309 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: any quarterback going into year three. But for Lamar Jackson 310 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: to take the leap, it requires the team to take 311 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: the leap. And I think going what would you guys go? 312 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: Fourteen and two last year? Unbelievable season. It needs more. 313 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: It needs that January victory. And I'm not saying as 314 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl, we need to get off 315 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: that schneid, and you need to win a playoff game 316 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: next year for Lamar to take the next step. Yeah, 317 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, there's so much pressure that 318 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: Lamar put on himself. You know, after it happened in 319 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: his rookie season. He goes in and he loses his 320 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: first playoff game, and then he goes into the Titans 321 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: game and they get up early. You know you could 322 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: kind of see him put that on his shoulders a 323 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: little bit. Did you kind of see that? And how 324 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: does a guy who starts his career as amazing at 325 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: as it has been. Oh and two of the in 326 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. How do you get over that home? Yeah? 327 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: And and you could say, hey, if he converts one 328 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: of those fourth and ones, which you guys converted every 329 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: single time in the regular season. Talking about a different game. 330 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: And I'm not questioning any of the analytics or Hardball's decisions, 331 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: but I watched that game back recently. I mean not 332 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: because it's on TV, just because there's nothing else to do, 333 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: and I figured I'd go and watch it. And there's 334 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: a situation where it's four you know, they're down fourteen 335 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: six and in the third quarter and it's like you 336 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: get the field goal, it's fourteen nine. There's a million 337 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: ways you can dissect this. But Lamar us through the 338 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: ball pretty well in that game, Like Hollywood played really 339 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: well in that game. Mark Ingram was injured in that game. 340 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: There's a million ways you can pick this thing apart. 341 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: And I don't think you can look at Lamar and saying, hey, 342 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: if you had done this. The following week, we've got 343 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City coming into our building in the divisional round, 344 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Like that wasn't that type of game? A million things 345 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: happened and the Ravens just could not get out of 346 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: their own way when in the regular season it was 347 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: they were his unstoppable team. So I don't know what 348 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: I would tell him. I'm not a quarterback coach, I'm 349 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: not John Harbaugh, but I know Lamar just a little bit. 350 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: A couple of production meetings, um a couple interactions. Got 351 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: to hang out with him before the NFL Honors this 352 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: year down in Miami, and he could not have been 353 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: cooler and more confident. Was with his mother. They were 354 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: both tremendous, and Lamar knows what the score is like, 355 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: he knows the deal. He enjoyed wearing that orange jacket 356 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: and getting the m v P and say it's be 357 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: like just like my homes. Kind of felt like there 358 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: was unfinished business last year when they lost to the 359 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: Patriots in the playoffs. When he accepted his m v P, 360 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: you can sense that Lamar knows this is all good 361 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: and well, and I appreciate this. This is cool and 362 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: it's fun and I'll never forget it. Let's go win 363 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: the chip. And that's what I kind of got from Lamar, 364 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: and that's that's all he needs, Like the motivation to 365 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: make that take that next step. If you're it's never 366 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: too early to do projections. If you're doing projections right now, 367 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: are you put in Kansas City in Baltimore in the 368 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: a C Championship? Yeah, yeah, you know Patriots, I ottasly 369 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: what they're doing at quarterback Bills. I felt like that 370 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: was an all time collapse in Houston. Houston lost their 371 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: best receiver. Like I'm thinking about the other teams. In Tennessee, 372 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: was a nice run, but they lose Conklin, they lose 373 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: Dural Casey, Like those are big players. Baltimore in Kansas City. 374 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: To me, if I'm CBS and they can carry those 375 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: a f C games, like I'm doing flips because I 376 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: will always tune in to see my homes and after 377 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: last year, I will always tune in to see Baltimore, 378 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: and I don't think they would have any problem with 379 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,239 Speaker 1: those two teams in an NFC championship. Yeah, I mean, 380 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: I think there's potential. This is probably the dream scenario, 381 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: but I think that there's potential for that. Mahomes Lamar 382 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: and they haven't it hasn't happened yet in the playoffs, 383 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: but but for that to be a a Brady Man. 384 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's fine, Yeah, you know, that's that's I'm 385 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: thinking big here, but like there's potential for it to 386 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: get to that kind of a level. Yeah, And like 387 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: there's like weird things that happened this all, Like are 388 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: the Colts gonna be good this year? Because Philip Rivers 389 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: wasn't great last year? And the Colts have a good team? 390 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: Like is that an upgrade from Burssett? I don't know 391 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: what are the Patriots? I have no idea. Does Cleveland 392 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: show us what they kind of saw two years ago 393 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: at the end? And then the team that I think 394 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: is the biggest question mark and a team that a 395 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: lot of people are like wait and see on what 396 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: the heck are the Steelers this year? Like still a 397 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: really good defense? And when he said out there, Ben 398 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is significantly better than Duck Hodges, Like, I think 399 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: the Steelers might be good again. So the a f 400 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: C is wide open and I didn't you know, I 401 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: don't even know who the Chargers and Dolphins are starting 402 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: at quarterback? How how hard does your wife's family take 403 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: a Ravens loss? And how much do you hear about 404 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: it on text? Threads? Bad and like that, Like all right, 405 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: there was a couple like the the Browns one in 406 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: the regular season last year. That was early right like 407 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: week four, Um, everyone's riding high on Lamar. They lost 408 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: to Kansas City, but like you still felt really pretty 409 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: good and then they just like my wife went to 410 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: that game and she like texted me, She's like, I'm 411 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm done going to Ravens games. Like they win when 412 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm not there, like one of those type deals. And 413 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: then the playoff game, like you know, bad weather Saturday night, 414 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: all this hype, everyone's excited, and then you knew it 415 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: was over by like you know, third quarter. I they were, 416 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: they were despondent. And I think that's the Ravens fan base. 417 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: They live and they breathe and they love the Ravens. 418 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: Like I don't. I don't fancy myself TV star or 419 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 1: anything like that, but like I'll go into the you know, 420 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: the giant over here in in Owings Mills and people 421 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: are like Traeger, good morning football. You guys are nice 422 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: to the Ravens. I'm like, yes, happened in other cities 423 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: Like these Ravens fans are on an all time high 424 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: when the Ravens are great, but they really feel it 425 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: when the race and have a disappointing loss. Yeah, I'm curious. 426 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: You mentioned Eric da Costa and how anybody who says 427 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: that he's their sources a liar? Have you? Have you 428 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: ever texted da Costa and he just like just or 429 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: he's not. I mean, he's the nicest guy in person, 430 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: and like you go up to like I have a 431 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: good relationship with him. We'll text and stuff, but like 432 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: football stuff. Now that's there's a lot of guys like that, 433 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: Like Tom Talesco with the Chargers is maybe the nicest 434 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: guy in the world, but like he won't even try 435 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: to be coy like you text hm football. So I 436 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: was like, I don't talk about that stuff on text. 437 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: And anyone who thinks that they are getting stuff from 438 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: Eric da Costa unless you're I don't know, Chad Steele, 439 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: Kevin Byrne, or maybe Patrick Gleeson the PR staff. I 440 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: find them to be liars because has kept it so 441 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: close to the vest for so many years as a 442 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: number two, and now it's the number one. There's no 443 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: did anyone know they were taking Hollywood Brown last year? No, 444 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: that did not it. You know, no one knew that 445 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: until it actually happened, and I think it's better off 446 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: that way, right. Well, Lamar Jackson the all time too, 447 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: that was that was that was quite I mean, trade 448 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: back in and get Lamar. It was wild. I had 449 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: them taking Lamar in the first round, but I had 450 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: them taking him with the Hayden Hurst pic. I thought 451 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: they whatever it was, they treated back, but they didn't 452 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: take a quarterback of fifteen. And everyone's like, told you, 453 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: Lamar is not a first rounder, told you, and I 454 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: worked out pretty well. You probably should have gone a 455 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: little earlier than thirty two. So do you think this 456 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: draft that it kind of favors the Ravens because it's 457 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: so wacky, right, and teams just don't have as much information? 458 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: Does Are there teams that are gonna be in better 459 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: situations than others? And are the Ravens one of this? 460 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: I think this is a good like here's how I 461 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: see it, and I could be wrong and whenever the 462 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: draft happens in a couple of days, but like, I 463 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: don't see all these trades in the first round. I 464 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: think teams have their draft boards set. They know the 465 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: top talent because they've been scouting them. They saw him 466 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: at the combine they met there, Like I could see 467 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: being pretty straightforward in the first round, But as you 468 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: guys know, the Ravens make their hey on days two 469 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: and day three, and that's when I think the wheeling 470 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: and dealing really occurs, because I could tell you straight up, 471 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: I've got teams and I don't do the hey. My 472 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: phone is blown up, Like I've got guys at teams 473 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: who typically would not be asking my opinion, asking my opinion. 474 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: Where do you know? Like other teams have this small 475 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: school prospect, like what do you think is this guy 476 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: day two or this guy Day three? I think there's 477 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: a lot more confusion when it gets to the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, 478 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: and seventh rounds. And I think the Ravens being so 479 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: well respected, so buttoned up with Dakasta and Joe Hortis 480 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: and all those guys and George Cokie, like all the 481 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: legends that you hear about in Ravens lore working under Ozzie, 482 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: a lot of them are still there, and they're pretty 483 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: buttoned up and they're pretty dialed in. I think that's 484 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: where they have the advantage as far as other teams 485 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: maybe being a bunch of new guys grouped together with 486 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: a new coach and a new coordinator and new system, 487 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: Like the Ravens know what they're looking for and they've 488 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: known it for several years before we I'm curious how 489 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: many texts or calls do you get when the like 490 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: the lasts before the draft, from different guys saying, hey, 491 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: can you put out there that we like this guy? 492 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: Like how much is your phone going? Because all of 493 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: a sudden you become somebody that people want to get 494 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: information out to the masses through. Okay, so girl, I'll 495 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: give you this. I never get the ask from a 496 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: team ever to be like, can you put this in 497 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: your mock draft so that there's a smoke screen or 498 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: can you tweet this? What you will get is the 499 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: agent texting saying hey, I'm hearing a lot of late 500 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: late in the process first round buzz on my guy, 501 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: and it's a guy that you text one team, they're 502 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: like fourth round grade, Like there's no first round buzz. 503 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: And I've been burned by it before where I'll put 504 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: like a guy in the end of the first round 505 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: and be like, where did that come from? Me? Like 506 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: just wait? And then he goes in the third or 507 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: fourth and you just have to learn your lessons on that, 508 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: Like what the agents tell you necessarily doesn't benefit you 509 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: as a progress as a progossive what's it called prognosticator 510 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: And if then that's an agent. So they can look 511 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: at the parents and say, see, here's why you signed 512 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: with me. I got trigger to say this, this, and this, 513 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: and I've learned my lesson over the years. What you 514 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: will see, though, are straight out lies, Like you'll hear 515 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: from a team and you gotta really read the room 516 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: a little bit or read your phone a little bit, 517 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: and a team will say to you, we don't like 518 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: this player, we like this guy. And then two days 519 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: after the draft you go back and they took the player, 520 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: not that guy. And that's when you have something to say. 521 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: It's hey, hey hey, you lied to me straight up. They're like, 522 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: I know, well, think you just gotta be careful exactly. 523 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: I see the combine my bad or I was actually 524 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: a fan of that guy. It was someone else in 525 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: the room who like the other guy and whatever. So 526 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: there is a lot of like smoke screens that are 527 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: being done, but like it's never telegraphed as clearly as hey, 528 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: do me a solid say we're taking Tah with the 529 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: third pick or whatever it is, you know, right right, 530 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: So the end of the day, your pick for the 531 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: Ravens at twenty is your tour gross mats that I'm 532 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: gonna change it right now, all right.

Always good to have a Ravens guy on 562 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: the pot. You know, we're actually it's crazy how lucky 563 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: we are. Mell Keiper, Baltimore guy, Maryland. Got we got 564 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: Straeger who's holding it down in the suburbs here of Baltimore. 565 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: Right now. Then we're gonna have on Daniel Jeremiah, who 566 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: is a former Ravens Scott. I mean we're talking about 567 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: X three of the biggest names in football media and 568 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: they're all Ravens guys. Yeah, that's true. That's a good point. 569 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: That's a good point, and selfishly that helps us when 570 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: we're trying to get guests for the podcast most importantly. Yeah, 571 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: so what do you think of his pick? A J. 572 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: Pen Essa, You've been talking about him, that's been somebody. 573 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not going to give away our marks 574 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: until next week, but what do you think about that 575 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: pick that he has right now? He has spent some 576 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: time penciled in as my pick in the first round. 577 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying if he's currently the guy, but I'm 578 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: just saying, at one point, over this this arc, this 579 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: process that I'm on, he has been the guy. He 580 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: does make a lot of sense, um because when you 581 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: think about Ravens picks in the first round, oftentimes it's 582 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: a guy who falls for whatever reason, highly productive, like 583 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: he talked about, no nonsense, serious guy going to come 584 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: in and work hard, uh and be a an immediate 585 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: impact player. But all of a sudden, then people are like, wait, 586 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: why did this guy fall into that? You know, what 587 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: did we miss? And and then it often ends up 588 00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: being that team's overvalued workout performances and in the combat line, 589 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: and then you're like, wait, how did Orlando round go 590 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: in the third round? And he's a pro bowler in 591 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: the second year and he was great in college? What 592 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: do we miss? Like sometimes that happens, and the Ravens 593 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: are really really skilled at kind of assessing whether the 594 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: combine workout has something to be concerned about or whether 595 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: you just had a bad combine workout. But what he 596 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: does on the field is much more significant than anything 597 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: he did in Indianapolis. Well, here's the crazy part. I've 598 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: I've been thinking, Okay, maybe Epidesza is a guy who 599 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: slips to the Ravens. Then mel Kiper releases his mock 600 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: draft and he's got his most recent when he's got 601 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: him a number forty, number forty, I'm like, whoa, Okay, 602 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, um, so that just really surprised me. But 603 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he checks a lot of boxes in terms 604 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: of a Raven, in terms of, like you're saying, play style, 605 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: heavy handed, physical guy, his father. You know, he followed 606 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: in the footsteps of his father. How many times have 607 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: you heard that with a Raven? Right? I mean he 608 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: played basketball and was a discuss throws. You know, State 609 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: championship discus thrower. Ravens eat that stuff up right. I mean, 610 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: like this guy is, uh, he could he could definitely 611 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: be a Raven I think that that would be a 612 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: really good pick. I mean imagine him and Jalen Ferguson 613 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: or he Jude on Jalen Ferguson for years to come. 614 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: That could be. That could be pretty nice. Or he 615 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: steps into Derek Wolf you know spot years down the line, 616 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: a year or two, whatever that line. I mean, I 617 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: just think that he could be a very good player 618 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Yeah. I think that there's some merit there. So, um, 619 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: we want to read an email here before we wrap up.

And then also even planning 644 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: like this year, maybe two three years down the line, 645 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: Like he's very involved on that side of things. Yeah. Well, 646 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: you always you always know that the Ravens draft is 647 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: over when you start to smell the cigar smoke on 648 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: day three and they're like all right, well they're they're celebrating. 649 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's like the naming of the Pope. 650 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: The white smoke goes up feeling it's all right. The 651 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: draft is done for the Ravens, you know. So Steve 652 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: always likes to celebrate with his guys and Eric the 653 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: Costa better late one up in his bunker that he's 654 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: drafted from just for you know, to keep the tradition alive, 655 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: I'll say that much so. So he also has a 656 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: second question, and he says that Erica said he wants 657 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: her offense to become undefendable outside of a big bodied 658 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: receiver an offensive line. So outside of those two positions, 659 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: what's the next position and what type of player fit 660 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,479 Speaker 1: do you think can most improve our offense? Well, I mean, 661 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: if you're removing receiver an offensive line from the equation, 662 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: you're not gonna address quarterback. There's not too many options 663 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: left on the table. Uh So, if you're adding anything 664 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: to the offense, to me, I think my number one 665 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: would be a stud offensive lineman. Well, yeah, I mean 666 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: I think an offensive lineman probably is the biggest upgrade 667 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: to this offense. And I also go against the notion 668 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: of the big body wide receiver. Same to me. To me, 669 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: it's it's it's size doesn't really matter. I think it 670 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: could be a smaller guy around six ft or whatever, 671 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: or a little smaller even who like Peter Schrieger was saying, 672 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, you're not getting many targets. It's what can 673 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: you do with those targets? So I think to me, 674 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: the Ravens want to build a explosive offense, and that 675 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: means a guy who may only get five targets, but 676 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: he can take one of them eight yards, you know. 677 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: So that's the kind of target I think the rate 678 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: that suits the Ravens the best. Right now, uh, moving 679 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: forward and getting this undefendable offense, which I like sounds 680 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: Last year it was revolutionary. Now it's undefendable. Yeah, that's 681 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: the two point no offense to two point o version. Hey, 682 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: revolutionary happens, so let's make it happen two times. I 683 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: don't know, this might be giving some thoughts away on 684 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: my mock, but if you were to go back several 685 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: years and I would think about a receiver who would 686 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: be a fit, I would often look at okay, I 687 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: would look at the measurables. I would say start I 688 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: would kind of start there and say, all right, this 689 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: guy six ft three two and fifteen pounds. I like that. 690 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: That would be kind of like a starting point. And 691 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: if I was look at a guy who's five tan, 692 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm like two small. Yeah, I'm not doing that this year. 693 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: And I don't care. I don't care how what their sizes. 694 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,479 Speaker 1: And I almost I almost think to some respects almost 695 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: the big guy is almost like a detriment. Or if 696 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 1: if I'm like a six three too big, well here, well, 697 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: and here's the thing, what the Chiefs win with last year? 698 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: Exactly speak Hardman, Tyreek Hill. Those are the guys. Sammy 699 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: Watkins isn't that big track bigger than those guys. But he, 700 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill is tough to compare 701 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: anybody too because he's he's such a freak. But McCole 702 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: Hardman is in that same build as Hill. Just a 703 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: bunch of fast guys, smaller fast guys. Now the go ahead, 704 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: I think that could be the model. Now. The difficulty 705 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: is you still need guys who can block, right. It's 706 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: it's important to have blocking wide receivers from rams. Now. 707 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: I think boaking can block really well. Willie Snead is 708 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: a very good blocker, So it's not like you can 709 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: put out there a ton of track guys who can't 710 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: block at all. Right, it has to be some kind 711 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: of balance there. But um, but I still lean towards 712 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens could use another Hollywood more than they could 713 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: use a big, blocking, more lumbering wide receiver, right right, Um, 714 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: all right, So, uh that's it for today. Big thanks 715 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: to Streeger for joining us. You can catch him every 716 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: day and good morning football.
