1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Mink

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: here with Garrett Downing, and we just witnessed the Ravens

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: stadium practice here at M ANDT Bank Stadium, that upgraded

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: empty Bank Stadium. We are only several days away from

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens preseason opener, but the stadium got broken in

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: with the stadium practice today and Garrett a lot of it.

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: Just always a good time here. First of all, you know,

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: packed house, just a big, big crowd to watch this

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: team practice. Great atmosphere, perfect weather. It just doesn't get

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: better than this.

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: If you're drawing up the when you plan this day

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: and you're like, what do we want the weather to be?

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: This is what it was?

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: This is it?

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially considering how miserable it's been with the heat

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: over the past week.

17
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: So to have a perfect day like this, it was great.

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: The energy was definitely there, and I think that's what

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: like this practice kind of is. It's a chance for

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: these guys to get into the stadium, see what the

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: experience is like, have a little bit more intensity and

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: pressure playing in front of hous of fans out here

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,279
Speaker 2: in this environment. So I think that's what it's really

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: about it, and I do think it's more competitive.

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: There was a lot of there was.

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: A lot of eleven on eleven work.

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: It was a full padded practice, so like the competitiveness

28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: was there in today's practice, and I just think overall

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: the Ravens come out of the same feeling really good

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: about both sides of the ball and special teams.

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 4: They know we're going to talk about.

32
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Tyler Loop was the story of the day.

33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: The rookie hit all eleven of his field goal attempts,

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 1: including one from sixty yards that would have been longer

35
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: from significantly longer than that, and actually the distance that

36
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: afterwards Jordan Stout said it would have been good from

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: sixty seven, which, by the way, the NFL record held

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: by Justin Tucker is sixty six. No, that's in a game,

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: out of stadium practice. Two different things, but gives you

40
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: an idea of the leg strength that Tyler Loop has.

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: And you know it's also it's notable for several reasons

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: as this first time kicking in front of a crowd

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: in this stadium, so you know it's again it's not

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: a completely full stadium, it's not a game, but it's

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: more game like. It's the most game like that he's

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: kicked in as a raven, and he's kind of feeling

47
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the conditions inside the stadium, what the the how the

48
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: wind plays and how the ball carries and all those

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: different things. The pressure is ramped up a little bit.

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: You're in front of the fans. It's their first time

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: seeing the new rookie, you know, he's replacing Justin Tucker.

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: And then also it's on the following day after they

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: released John Hoyland, who was Tyler Loop's made his only

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: competition to this point, and so it's kind of like,

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: all right, spotlights on you, rook you know, like we

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: made kind of a statement releasing John Hoyland. You're the

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: only kicker on the roster. Let's see how you do

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: in front of the fans in the stadium. And he

59
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: aisced it. John Harball said a plus plus plus. I'm

60
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: not sure how he pluses he said, but there was

61
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: a lot of pluses.

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: Well, you can't honestly do much better than he did today.

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: You droll a sixty yarder with room to spare. He

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 2: drolled a fifty six yarder and he looks comfortable doing it,

65
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: like he just seemed like he was in his element

66
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: at one point when he lined up. Now this was

67
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: earlier in practice, like they wanted to they wanted the

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: fans to get into it a little bit more, and

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: he was giving them like.

70
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: The get loud, you know motion.

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: He likes it.

72
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: And he said afterwards, like it's fun to kind of

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: play to the crowd and he enjoyed that aspect of it.

74
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: So he seemed like he was in his own.

75
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Like kind of their belief is have fun, go out

76
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: there and like, don't be tight, you know, don't go

77
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: out there and feel the pressure and be you know,

78
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: go out there and have fun, right, And that was him.

79
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: I think that's just part of his personality. He likes

80
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: the spotlight. He likes kind of that that pressure.

81
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: And honestly, we all know that that's how Justin Tucker

82
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: was throughout his career here. He was a guy that

83
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: thrived in big moments and you know, when the pressure

84
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: was on in these big, big games and playoff games

85
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, long kicks, that was when he

86
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: was at his best and he played to the crowd

87
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: and all that stuff too. Like And I think that

88
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: there is something to be said for a kicker who.

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: That position.

90
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: You can make this case for a lot of positions,

91
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: but like so much of that position comes down to

92
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: like in between your ears and the mental side of

93
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: things and being able to thrive in that moment.

94
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: Like you were.

95
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: You were truly on an island as a kicker, And

96
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: every mental toughness is important at every position, but I'd

97
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: be hard pressed to think that it's more important anywhere

98
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: else other than kicker. And so I think that everything

99
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: that I've seen from Tyler Loop is that he seems

100
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: like a mentally strong guy that is confident and seems

101
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: to perform well when the pressure is on. And today

102
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: I thought was a it was a big step for him.

103
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Like I thought, like when the Ravens make the decision

104
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: to release John Hoyland, they're not officially saying the competition

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: is done at Kicker, but you're leaving yourself with one

106
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: kicker on the roster, Like.

107
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: When John Harwall said he's kicked it well enough to

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: win the job. He hasn't won it yet, but he's

109
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: kicking well enough to win it, and I expect that

110
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: he absolutely will win it. And honestly, like I wrote

111
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: this in like fifty words or less column Saturday this

112
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: morning or yesterday morning, it was that my biggest concern

113
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: coming into Ravens training camp was probably a kicker, if

114
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: there's one position, you know, I mean, left guard is

115
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: like a competition. But honestly, my concerned level wasn't that

116
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: high considering Andrew where he's won the starting job last year,

117
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: he's in line to win it again this year. Like,

118
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: I'm not worried. The fact of the matter is, like,

119
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: you have a rookie kicker, rookie kicker in Baltimore where

120
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: we've been spoiled for so long by the success that

121
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker had. And oh, by the way, I don't

122
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: know how many games this year, but several will be

123
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: decided by the kicking in the fourth quarter, you know,

124
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: And like it's an important, very very important position. And

125
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: you had a guy who a new guy for the

126
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: first time in whatever thirteen years, and so yeah, that's

127
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: a big deal. And honestly, I'm not concerned about it

128
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: anymore after watching Tyler Loop in practice this whole time,

129
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: and I know it's practice and preseason games are gonna

130
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: be another step. And today is another data point, Like

131
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: I'm even less worried after watching it today, he's he's

132
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: hit so far and I haven't done the math after

133
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: the eleven for eleven today, but he's well over ninety

134
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: percent field goal percentage.

135
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: And they're not just having him kick chippies all day long.

136
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: I mean he kicked the sixty yarder today.

137
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, kicked agree.

138
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: Fifty six yarder like they're they're testing him.

139
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And and it's really it's about consistency. He's and

140
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: if you're hitting, I think Justin Tucker is the high

141
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: eighty nine percent tile and he's the most accurate kicker

142
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: of all time. So if you're hitting over ninety percent,

143
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: you're doing pretty darn well.

144
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 2: Well you should give me credit because at one point

145
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: during early last week in practice, I turned to you

146
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: and I said, the competition's over. I felt like Tyler

147
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Lupid won it early this past week, yeah, Monday, four

148
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: or five practices. Yeah, I was like, it's done because

149
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: I just I said that to you, Hey, you and Cliff,

150
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm watching practice on like Tyler Loup has won the

151
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: job because I the leg strength for him.

152
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: The ball flies off his foot.

153
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: It like when that's sixty three yarder or that he

154
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: kicked the sixty three yard in practice. He kicked the

155
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: sixty eight yard in practice without the rush. He kicked

156
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: a sixty yarder with room to spare today.

157
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: So I asked, so they also track the ball like

158
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: we've been saying this whole room to spare the ravens,

159
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Like know how far it would be good from they

160
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: tracked the ball and all this stuff. He's in the

161
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: mid seventies.

162
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, So like that's the that's the

163
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: type of leg that we're talking about, right with lou

164
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: And so that stands out to me and like the

165
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: thing that the question on him, and to be honest,

166
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: like he can't answer this yet until you're in this moment.

167
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: It's like, how are you going to handle if it's

168
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: a fourth quarter situation, if it's if it's the week

169
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: week one opener and you're in Buffalo, is a forty

170
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: eight yarder and it's a three point game or two

171
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: point game, you have a chance to win it at

172
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: the buzzer?

173
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: What do you do?

174
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: How do you handle it? But you can't you can't

175
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: know that until you're in that situation. All you can

176
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: do is kick well in practice, kick well when the

177
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: pressure gets on a little bit more in this stadium

178
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: practice than in the preseason, Like you can't.

179
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: You really want to see him have a good preseason.

180
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: I think that's obviously the next step.

181
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: But today was the next step in like the Yeah,

182
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: he's aced.

183
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Every step so far, and so I continue. I expect

184
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: him to continue to get very good grades. Yeah, And

185
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: is he gonna go a plus and never miss the

186
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: career kicking his career? Of course, not right, but I

187
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: expect him to get very good grades and uh, and

188
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: like I really hope that he goes out here in

189
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: the preseason in the games and also heses that test

190
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: because then I think, I do think like he's a

191
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: confident guy naturally, but you want that momentum going into

192
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: the regular season of feeling like, yeah, I went out

193
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: there in the games and it all went well then too.

194
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: Success breeds confidence exactly. So I'm with you though, Like

195
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: I was wondering about the kicking game coming into the season, naturally,

196
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: but I'm not worried about it right now. Yeah, I

197
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: think the Ravens are going to be a really good

198
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: field goal kicking operation.

199
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: I agree with that, all right, So what.

200
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: Else do you as you watch practice today, Like, do

201
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: you come away with thinking that it really jumped out

202
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: to you.

203
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was another good day for this defense.

204
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: They won according to the scoreboard, and close contest with

205
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: the offense. But I thought JayR Alexander continues to look

206
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: just absolute lockdown. I mean like there was one a

207
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: one on one rep and he was against Stateton Wade. Okay,

208
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like d Hop. He and d Hop

209
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: have had some great battles, but JayR Alexander shut the

210
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: route down so bad that that Cooper Rush didn't even

211
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Yeah, he just he just held it.

212
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, it's just it's just locked up,

213
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: just seat belted dumb click it or ticket? Yeah, you know,

214
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: so going keep going up.

215
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: He got on the seatbelt references.

216
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: Dane Wade got the ticket so well no, I guess

217
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: he got belted up. He was wearing. He didn't get

218
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: the Yeah, congrats the date way. So I just think

219
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Jay Alexander, like, is he just looks really good?

220
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there was another rep against d Hop. You

221
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: mentioned the two of those guys like they seem to

222
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: be seeking each other out in practice, to be honest,

223
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: like in one on one drills in team drills, like

224
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: they seem to be looking for opportunities to go against

225
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: each other. And I actually asked Jair about that after

226
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: practice and he was like, look, that guy's a legend,

227
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: like and so you want to get better, go up

228
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: against him. That's good versus good, and like that's gonna

229
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: make us better. And at one point they were matched

230
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: up against each other team drills and there was a

231
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: fader out in the end zone and how many touchdowns

232
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: is Deare Hopkins caught on the on that route over

233
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: the course of his career and Jaire Alexander had great coverage.

234
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 3: Hopkins caught the ball, but.

235
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: He was out of bounds and those two guys dapped

236
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: each other up after the play, and like that was

237
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: just another example of these guys going up against each

238
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: other and challenging each other. And I agree, Jaiir has

239
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: been the energy has been great. We're talking about the

240
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 2: stadium practice, but on Saturday's practice he had a pair

241
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: of interceptions, one in full team drills one and seven

242
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: on seven and on the one with in full team drills,

243
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: basically the entire team was celebrating. And that's like the

244
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: energy that we've talked about with him. That he has

245
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: brought to this team and he gets his hands on

246
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: the wall, everybody was excited. And so I think that

247
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: like that energy has rubbed off and it's coming back

248
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: around to him and that's been awesome to see too.

249
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Yep. Another guy who stood out to me in practice,

250
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: and we've talked about him several times and he's a

251
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: friend of lounge that is running back Keaton Mitchell. I mean,

252
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: he had one just bounced off a tacklers TJ Tampa

253
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: just kind of bounced off of him and then got

254
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: around to the edge and just was gone, long touchdown run.

255
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, it was just it was awesome to see

256
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: Keaton running like that in this stadium. Yeah, you know,

257
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: it just brings back Seahawks flashbacks, oh his long touchdowns

258
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: runs against them, and and so yeah, man, that guy

259
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: continues to look really good.

260
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that.

261
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: If you haven't listened or watched it, I would encourage

262
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: you to go back and check out that interview that

263
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: we had with Keaton. And this is more than just

264
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: a shameless plug. I think that, like, this is a

265
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: guy that I think he's he'sy to root for for

266
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: a lot of different reasons. But when you hear him

267
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: talk about his story and what he's had to overcome

268
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: and the severity of that injury and how and how

269
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: low he was, like how difficult it was for him,

270
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: I think physically and mentally to overcome that. He was

271
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: just going to root for him even more in hearing

272
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: from that. And and one one story from that, you

273
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: pointed out like, as we're sitting there, I'm looking at

274
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: your scars and like his the scars on his knee

275
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: are gnarly, like they're serious. And he made the point

276
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: that some people have even said to him, like you

277
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: should get tattoos to cover him up, and he's like,

278
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: now I need to see these. These are a reminder

279
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: to me of what I've come through and where I

280
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: have been to get to this point. And so these

281
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: are a daily reminder to him. And yeah, that episode

282
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: we posted earlier this week or last week, and I

283
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: definitely recommend checking it out because it gives you an

284
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: appreciation for him.

285
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. You know who else is keeps making place. Okay,

286
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: this is super under the radar. Keith Kirkwood. He does

287
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: the wide receiveries veteran wide receiver. You spent much last

288
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: year on the practice squad, if not the whole year

289
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Dude K's making plays.

290
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: Had a big play earlier in the week, had a

291
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: couple of nice catches, one of them today he had

292
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: probably that was probably the biggest catch of a receiver

293
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: down the field today. And that was a perfect ball

294
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: from Lamar Jackson, Like he dropped that one in a bucket,

295
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: hit Kirkwood in stride, he made the catch, So credit

296
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: to Keith Kirkwood, but it was a great throw from Lamar.

297
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: And like the Ravens do have, they have a couple

298
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: of veteran Both Keith Kirkwood and Anthony Miller spent last

299
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: year on the practice squad.

300
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: They've both had.

301
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: Moments in camp and like maybe they do they both

302
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: end up back on the practice squad again. Like Anthony

303
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: Miller was catching balls in the playoffs last year, Like

304
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: he's on the field for the final drive in Buffalo,

305
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: so like he's played in big moments. I wonder if

306
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: both of those guys find their way back onto the

307
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: practice squad this year.

308
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to get a little competition from another

309
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: player that keeps standing out and had a good practice

310
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: today that's undrafted wide receiver Xavier Guillery from Arizona State

311
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: saw him a few times eighty seven. Yeah, and I

312
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: was like, he's make sure I'm checking my roster here,

313
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: who's eighty seventy. He's making the place. So you know,

314
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: got in the stadium and like made some you know,

315
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: made some nice catches. Yeah.

316
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: One other guy who had he got GI year on one. Yeah,

317
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: one guy that I'll mention who had a nice catch.

318
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: Better known for running the ball than catching the ball.

319
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: But Derek Henry had a nice wheel route out of

320
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: the backfield where he made a great grab. Trenton Simpson

321
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: was in coverage and Trenton brought him down, but I

322
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: mean credit to Henry, it was it was a nice

323
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: play for him to get out there in the open

324
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: field and track down the ball from Lamar. And like,

325
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that the Ravens are going to look

326
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: for a ton of ways to get him the ball

327
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: in the passing game, Like that's not a huge aspect

328
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: of his game, but it's an element. He had two

329
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns last year, so I think that there will

330
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: be opportunities. And typically when you've seen him catch them

331
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: all out of the backfield, it's basically like on a screen,

332
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: you know, kind of a simple dump off screen and

333
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: then let him just go to work in the open field.

334
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: This was on a design route with tight coverage, and

335
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: he made a tough test to catch, So, you know,

336
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: just another if you got to now worry if the

337
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: defense is now have to worry about that element of

338
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: things is just more and more to stack on top

339
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: of from a concern standpoint. And actually when that happened

340
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: in practice, we were doing a live stream and Jeff's

341
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: Reebec was on the show, and the point that that

342
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: he made is like when you talk about replacing Isaiah

343
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: likely if he's out at all during regular season games,

344
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: like it's of course Charlie Kohler is the guy that

345
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: would take those reps, but it's also about using other

346
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: elements of the offense, like could that play just being

347
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: an example of Henry Derek Henricky, I mean just other

348
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: things that could be an element of it, or of

349
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: course it could be DeAndre Hopkins and having him more

350
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: involved than if Isaiah like was on the field. It's

351
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: there's gonna be kind of a multifaceted approach if Isaiah

352
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: likely were to miss any time in the regular season.

353
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: I on that note, I heard you talking about what's

354
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens' best personnel offensively? Is it three wide with

355
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: Hop or is it still you know, of course, pending

356
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: the injury, Isaiah likely out there. And it's an interesting question.

357
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I still would lean towards twelve and and

358
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: go to tight end and have Isaiah and Mark out there.

359
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: But I think d Hop is making it, you know,

360
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: a difficult question to answer.

361
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I think that's that's a tough decision.

362
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good tough position to be.

363
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: Honestly, Like, I this is the cop out answer, but

364
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: I don't really think that it's here's the best personnel

365
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: group and we're just gonna roll with that. I think

366
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: base like Like, I think that when you have two

367
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: tight ends and one of those tight ends is is

368
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: pat Riccard who's a tight end slash fullback, and you

369
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: get him Derrick Henry just running running through guys, like

370
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good personnel grouping if you need two yards, Yeah,

371
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: it's a pretty nice setup. Like So, I think there's

372
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: gonna be plenty of situations like.

373
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: That as well.

374
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: But I the short answer to that point is. I

375
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 2: do think we're going to see a lot of three

376
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: receiver Sayts with say Flowers or Saw Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins,

377
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: especially if Isaiah likely were to miss any time in

378
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: the regular.

379
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: Shoh, for sure, for sure. For sure. Another player that

380
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: I want to point to. That's it's fun to see

381
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: out here in the stadium, big brand Urban, Yeah, re

382
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: sign big Urb. And I will admit that anytime there's

383
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: been a batted ball in practice and you don't see

384
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: the herb, like I don't even know what I may

385
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: call it.

386
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the celebration just called the herb celebration.

387
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: Sure, it looks like the lebron like chalk thing is

388
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: kind of how I would describe it. I missed it, Yeah,

389
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: I missed it. And so it's good having bigger back.

390
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: So he's wearing fifty eight, Michael Pearce's old number. Talk

391
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: to him afterwards. That was not by design, that's just

392
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: the jersey you got assigned.

393
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

394
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: It was like he's like, yeah, ye, I'd love this that.

395
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's a shout out to my guy, the

396
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: other half of the fun bunch. But like somebody just

397
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: thought it would be really cool and funny to give

398
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: you this jersey, and many photos of him wearing now

399
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: fifty eight have been sent to Michael Pierce. Oh, you

400
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: can be rest assured that has happened.

401
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: Oh oh, definitely, I mean Michael Pierce.

402
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: We posted it yesterday and Michael Pierce reposted it and

403
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: said he needs a fifty eight print Urban jersey.

404
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

405
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: Michael Pierce is definitely aware of it and he wants

406
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 2: that number. Fifty eight jersey is a nice little tribute

407
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: there for him. So it is good to see him back.

408
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: So and honestly, like we have mentioned a number of times,

409
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: I'm not closing the door on the possibility of the

410
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: Ravens ultimately bringing in print Urban. I think it makes

411
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: fifty three man roster cut down a little even more

412
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 2: interesting now that he's in the mix there on that

413
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: defensive line.

414
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: And you know what he can do obviously, you.

415
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: Know what, He's a good quality player, really stout against

416
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: the run, can provide a little bit of pass rush too,

417
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: just like a veteran dru Vett on that defensive front.

418
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 4: So it's exciting to have him back in the mix.

419
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: Yep. Absolutely, So let's take.

420
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: A quick break when we come back we'll give you

421
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: our final thoughts from stadium practice and also look ahead

422
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 2: to the joint practices this week against the Indianapolis Colts.

423
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Lage podcast. We're coming to you

424
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 2: from the Sea Geek Studio. We want to mention our

425
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: partners at Draft King sports Book. They are an official

426
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: sports betting partner of the Baltimore Ravens Draft King Sports Book.

427
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: The Crown is yours. So just again, fun day, fun

428
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: atmosphere here at Mt.

429
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 4: Bank Stadium.

430
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: This was a little bit of a sneak peak to

431
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: some of the renovations and upgrades that have been made here.

432
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: This has been a multi year project for the next

433
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: evolution of Mt. Banks Stadium and it was fun to

434
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: unveil some of those a little bit more of a

435
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: sneak peak than an unveiling today, but good for fans

436
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: to get a look at some of those spaces, including

437
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: the new end zone suites there from Tiro Price, which

438
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: I know that our players certainly caught their attention, and

439
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: John Harbaugh talked about that after practice too.

440
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Harbes said stadium is a gem and he's right,

441
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, even though this stadium has been

442
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: around for a long time. The Ravens have invested so

443
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: much money in keeping it up to date and current,

444
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: and John Harbell said it's better than new, you know. So, yeah,

445
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: the stadium looks really great. Kudos everybody involved because it

446
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: has been a massive undertaking to kind of you know,

447
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: they were doing work last during last season underground and

448
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: then once the season ends it's just one hundred miles

449
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: per hour and so big kudos to everybody. And I

450
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: think fans are really going to be thrilled when they

451
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: step into M and T Banks Stadium, as well as

452
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: the other news from John Harball being that in the preseason,

453
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: which isn't a surprise, we're not going to see a

454
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: whole lot of starters here at M ANDT Bank Stadium

455
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts. This has been really

456
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: since the JK. Dobbins injury. John Harball has just is

457
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: backed off playing time for not all of the starters,

458
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: but the vast majority of them, and so just kind

459
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: of protecting those guys for sure. The majority of the

460
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: action for the starters will actually be during joint practices

461
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: with the Colts on Tuesday, and the way the Ravens

462
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: have done those now is they do one day of

463
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: joint practices. They don't do two. John Harball said, basically

464
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: the second days you know when fights break out and

465
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So we do one day of joint

466
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: practices two days before the preseason game. And then lastly

467
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: from John Harball, kind of the non update injury update

468
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: on Emery Jones just not back. You know, it was

469
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: I think they were hopeful that a couple weeks in

470
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the training camp he'd be back on the field, but

471
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: there was a sign of the rookie tackle slash guard

472
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: yet and so fingers crossed that he gets back out

473
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 1: here soon. But you know, at this point, it's it's

474
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: kind of a it's a late start for the rookie

475
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: and he would have have a lot of work to

476
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: do to really kind of catch up. And it makes

477
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: you think about, all right, you know, what do you

478
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: how much more depth do you need to keep there

479
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: in your interior offensive line to make sure that you

480
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: have enough because Emery Jones is kind of behind the ape.

481
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: Well just a little bit more specific even on him,

482
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 2: he's been dealing with a shoulder injury since he was

483
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: he was drafted here, right, so he's not practiced at

484
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: all during off season practices or training camp, So he

485
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: hasn't got on the.

486
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: Field yet for real practice.

487
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: That's correct.

488
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: So obviously you know that's gonna hamper him at least

489
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: in the early the short term here and we'll see

490
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: when he ultimately does.

491
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 4: Get back on the field.

492
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: One other note, This is actually from from Saturday's practice,

493
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 2: but I think it's worth mentioning.

494
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 4: As we're talking about the offensive line.

495
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: John Harbaugh did say this weekend that Andrew Vorhees is

496
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: in the lead for the starting left guard job. Him

497
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: and Ben Cleven have been competing in that spot, and

498
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: it's Andrew Vorhees who's first on the depth chart right now.

499
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: Talked to Vorhees today after practice, you know, and I

500
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: thought he had a good perspective on it. He said,

501
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: you know, basically, that's great. But my attitude, like is

502
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: that the old saying is rents do every day and

503
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: that can change. And so like, I sure that's good

504
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: here on August third, August second, but like I need

505
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: to keep playing.

506
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not.

507
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: He's not the competition in his mind, like it's not

508
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: over yet. He needs to keep performing at a high level.

509
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: And I think he's got the right mindset.

510
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: I think he didn't even know that John Harball had

511
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: said that basically.

512
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, he's like, I just found that out

513
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of goes. Sure, it's nice, you'd like

514
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: to hear it. But like again, rents do every day.

515
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: I need to keep it up because and I need

516
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: to have that mindset. And so I think that that's

517
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: the right approach.

518
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and John Harball said that Andrew Vore he's basically

519
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: has just been more consistent than Bank Cleveland. You know,

520
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: he said Ben had some, you know, several tough practices,

521
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: came back and had several good practices. But Andrew Vore

522
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: he's been consistently good throughout. So you played consistently, that's

523
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: how you win a job.

524
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: And for he's, as we've said many times, like I

525
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: think that he's going to be good. I think you

526
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: can step in at left guard, start play, you know,

527
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: certainly play at an adequate level.

528
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: This offensive line could be really good.

529
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember, I can't remember who the pass rusher

530
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: was last week during practice, but I just saw this

531
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: defender get tossed out the back of the pocket basically,

532
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: and it was Voorhe's and just like guy over over

533
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: rushed basically before he's like kicked out the club. Get

534
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: kicked out the club, and so I know what that

535
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: feels like, been kicked out of clubw not cool enough

536
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: to even be in a club in the first place.

537
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: Let'll be kicked out. But but that dude is strong.

538
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: He's he's been at the facility like off season yep. Uh.

539
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: He is put in the work. So I'm excited about him,

540
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about Daniel Foulet. I think this offensive

541
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: line has a chance to be really good again.

542
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: And the joint practice with the Colts is coming up

543
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. We're gonna break.

544
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: It'll be a good time, a good test right there.

545
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: It'll be good tests. Those are those are really important.

546
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: Those have kind of replaced the preseason from a competitive standpoint,

547
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: so that'll be that'll be significant for guys who are

548
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: competing for roster spots and starting jobs like where he

549
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: so looking forward to that. We're gonna be breaking all

550
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: that down and have a podcast coming out right after

551
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: that giving you a full breakdown of everything that we

552
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: see during that practice. And again, the preseason opens up

553
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: Thursday night at Mt. Bay Stadium as the Ravens. Welcome
