We were out 4 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: there first time seeing these rookies in their jerseys, and 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: we are going to give you our initial takeaways, first 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: impressions of the rookies from practice today and then also 7 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: hearing from some of them after practice. So, Cliff, just 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: kind of a big picture, what do you look to 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: gain from watching these rookie mini camp practices. 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: That's a good question because kind of part of this 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: is they're learning how the Ravens practice and how the 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: coaches want them to practice. 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: This is not a training camp. Practice is not like 14 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: pads on. We're going full eleven on eleven action now. 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, everyone is obviously really curious. Fans want to 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: know what these guys look like, what this is just 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: like the early first for almost like, Okay, let's go 18 00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: out on the field for a little while. 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: Have we've talked to you. Let's go on the field 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 3: and work on this. 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: But to answer your questions, I mean, you know some 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: things to me, like Malachi Starks and Mike you can 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: see their athleticism right away. You see Tyler Loop has 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: a strong leg right away. Some of these guys then 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: when you talk to them, have a great personality too. 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's as a group, there's a 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: really good group of guys who seem like they're hungry 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: to be here, and you know, you know they're nervous, 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: but they are really eager to get started. I think 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: Ravens fans are gonna like this collection of rookies. 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: As a group. 32 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. John Harwall said he was impressed with their smarts, 33 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: just like kind of how dialed in there were. They 34 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: were not a lot of mistakes, not having to redo things, 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: and they were coaching them hard too. 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 4: There's position coaches. 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, even though it's their first practice, like you 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: see all right right away, it's not like, you know, 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: they expect a lot of these guys. It begins immediately 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: they getting coached up right, and so let's go through it. 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: I thought Malachi starts first and foremost. You lay eyes 42 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: on him on the football field immediately and you're like, 43 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: that's a dude. 44 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 4: I mean, he. 45 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: Looks like a first round pick, just well built, well 46 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: proportioned guy. And then you hear you know, after practice 47 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: he broke down, he broke the huddle, which is you know, hey, 48 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be a leader, and that he's the 49 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: first round pick, and you just kind of he said 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: it was an honor to do that. And so you 51 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: see those leadership qualities. Even the communication on the field, 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: you could you could hear Malachi talking out there. 53 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 4: You see that from him immediately. 54 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been a leader all his life. He's a 55 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: leader of this draft class. He started as a freshman 56 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: at Georgia, which something that I'm really impressed by because 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: they just bring in stud after stud defensively there. You're 58 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: not supposed to start there as a freshman. You always 59 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: know the person behind you is ward and capable of 60 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: taking your job. And for him to just coolly do 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: that as a freshman, that's impressive. And I think, you 62 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: know he is, he is a draft choice probably most 63 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: is expected of, you know, expected to come in right 64 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: away and help this secondary be better. And yeah, he looks, 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: he looks and acts the part. So yeah, definitely encouraged 66 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: by everything you see about. 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting to hear him say that 68 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: he started taking notes on leadership and how to be 69 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: a good leader. Really as soon as he stepped on 70 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: the campus at Georgia, he was watching those older guys 71 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: and really seeing how they did it, picking up things, 72 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: how they lead his own style of leadership, and you 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: just I feel like you don't hear a lot of 74 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: guys talk about that. Like immediately, I knew I wanted 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: to be a leader and I was gonna work towards that. 76 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's wise beyond his years. 77 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that guys pick up on that, 78 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: and these young guys, I think again, he'll be the 79 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: leader of this draft class in a. 80 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: Lot of ways. 81 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: And then you know, obviously when the Vezi get here, 82 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: the Kayat kind of guys will be around. I mean, 83 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: you know, Kyle Hamilton. What better player to learn from 84 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: than someone like that who's also wise beyond it. 85 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: Yep. 86 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: All right, So moving on second round pick Mike Green, 87 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: what were some of your takeaways from practiced in his 88 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: podium session today. 89 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: The athleticism on the field and then the poise you 90 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: know off the field. I mean, let's face it, I 91 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: mean he knew that. You know, when he was drafted 92 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: and fell on the draft, there was going to be 93 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: a lot talk and said about about him and you know, 94 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: I think that he is showing that he's ready for 95 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: to handle, you know, whatever questions are thrown at him 96 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: and won't let that affect him on the field. I 97 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: feel like, yeah, it's only the first impression was this 98 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: is the first time he's been in front of the 99 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: media since he got drafted. 100 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: I think that his comfort level. 101 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: I think there's a gorgal organization for him to come 102 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: to in that, you know, he's surrounded by people who 103 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: a you know, really think highly of him as a player. 104 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, it's going to help 105 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: him now that the draft is over and all the 106 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: speculation about where he would go and how how far 107 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: he might fall is over. Now he can just focus 108 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: on playing football. And I think that's exactly what he 109 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: wants to do and that he will do. And you know, 110 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: he's got a lot of talent. I mean when you 111 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: you know, I didn't see a lot today as far 112 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: as you know, because it was unpadded and you know, 113 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: really weren't going full strength. But when you watch him 114 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: on film, it's it's very difficult not to be impressed 115 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: with not only his ability to get to the passer, 116 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: but just what kind of athlete he is. 117 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously he knew he was going to 118 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: get questions about the sexual assault allegations, which is why 119 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: he fell in the draft, and he said he's looking 120 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: forward to moving on with his career. 121 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 4: So that's how he addressed that. 122 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: And I thought, to me, my eyes just watching practice 123 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: that hey, I'll reverse a little bit, I thought, like 124 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: he to your point, he came off well talking to 125 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: the media for the first time and said that his 126 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: emotions in the drafts we all saw. 127 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: I mean, the guy melted, you know, I mean, he 128 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: just wanted to get picked up. He said, somebody please take. 129 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 4: Me exactly and give me chance. 130 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: So it was it was interesting to hear him talk 131 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: about that, and it wasn't like it doesn't seem like 132 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: there was all this like built up frustration from like 133 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: dropping as far as he did. A guy who was 134 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: talked about being in the teens being picked in the 135 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: teens going the second round. It was just like, I 136 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: just I just wanted a chance and like and it 137 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: was emotional for him. And then on the field, I 138 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: agree with which I thought of all the guys that 139 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: I watched today, he popped off the most to me 140 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: in terms of you see the burst, you see the bend. 141 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: I mean he had one play where he would have 142 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: would have had a sack, and to see him turn 143 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: the corner and bend and dip to get to the quarterback, 144 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: I thought it was it was, Ah, he's got it, 145 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: He's got the juice. 146 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: And uh. 147 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: And another one I noted, just a run kind of cutback, 148 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: went the other way, popped out the other side, and 149 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: Mike chasing chasing the running back five ten yards down 150 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: the field, hustling, Uh, chasing that play down. And I thought, 151 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: all right, you know, you see that hustle that the 152 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: Raven scouts saw with him. Another one he just burst 153 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: in the back, just shot a gap on a run 154 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: play and was in the backfield. 155 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 4: He's an explosive dude. 156 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: And so I really liked what I saw from the 157 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: on field perspective with him. 158 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: All right. 159 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: Third round pick Emery Jones Junior, the offensive lineman out 160 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: of LSU. We did not get to see him practice today, 161 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: and John Harwall after practice revealed that he's working through 162 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: a labrim issue which is going to sideline him for 163 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: most of the summer. John Harwall said, you know, thinking 164 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: probably training camp is when he gets on the field, 165 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: and so that was news to me and you know, 166 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: maybe part of the reason why he could have gone, 167 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, in the third round a little bit later. 168 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: For a guy who has so much starting experience, has 169 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: all the checks, all the boxes in terms of the athleticism, 170 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the size and all those things. But you know, we'll 171 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: be ground that he will have to make up early 172 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: in his career. And he's somebody that I think we've 173 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: all talked about, Hey, could he push for that starting 174 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: left guard job. It's gonna make it certainly tougher if 175 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: he's not you know, on the field until the start 176 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: of training camp. I think that forhe's, as we've said, 177 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: is is probably the leader in the clubhouse there. But 178 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: hearing that today, it's like, Okay, this is really Borhee's job, 179 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, to to lose here. 180 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, that's gonna set him back. I think 181 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: it's though, very good that the Ravens don't need him 182 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: to start. I weren't counting on him to start or 183 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: play a significant role this year. If if he doesn't 184 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: catch up before they have Voor he's you know, resigning. 185 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: Ronnie Stanley was so. 186 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: Huge when they signed the veteran Joseph Notebloom exactly over 187 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: this note Boom. 188 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 2: That sheds more light on what why that was probably 189 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: gonna happen because they knew that, you know, he wouldn't 190 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: be on the emy, wouldn't be on the field for 191 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: a while, so there's no reason. 192 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: To rush him back. He can take his time get healthy. 193 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: Obviously he'll be around and trying to pick up on 194 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: the offense as quickly as he can. But yes, missing 195 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: those reps for young player, definitely, for any young player, 196 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 2: would make it difficult more difficult for you to start 197 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: as a rookie, but or to play significantly. But the 198 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: Ravens don't need that, so you know, drafting three offensive linemen, 199 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 2: he's part of overall hopefully improving depth and hopefully when 200 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: he gets healthy, then you know, we'll see what the 201 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: Ravens expect when they drafted right. 202 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: And Noteboom would presumably be the swing tackle that they 203 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: will need immediately since they lost shots shots and free agency, 204 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: so you know, let let Emory Jones get healthy, right 205 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: and take it from there. He's kind of along with 206 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Carson Vincent a little bit more of all right, these 207 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: are going to be big pieces, hopefully at some point 208 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: here and maybe Emery Jones even during his rookie year, 209 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: could you know, certainly compete for that. You know, it's 210 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: for significant steps and being a starter potentially. So all right, 211 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: moving on Teddy Buchanan, the linebacker of the Ravens drafted. 212 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: You know, this is a guy that to me when 213 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: I look at him on the field, very comfortable moving backwards, 214 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: you know, dropping in coverage seemed like that was he 215 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's covering guys is a different thing, but 216 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: he seemed very fluid and natural going in reverse. 217 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: Yes, he's he is unlike a lot of young players 218 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: at that position where it looks like, yeah, his strength 219 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: could be in past coverage that he I agree with you. 220 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: He looks very comfortable picking up guys out of backfield, 221 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: covering tight ends. That that was something he did in 222 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: college and could be his strength in the NFL. 223 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: And so he does have quickness. 224 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: So if he can get off blocks and effectively and 225 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: be a good good against the run and blitz effectively, 226 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: I think the passing thing, that's something where he may 227 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: be ahead of the average rookie at that position. So 228 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: he's athletic and another guy who I think early even 229 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 2: in his college career. You know, people were wanting is 230 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: he an NFL player? And he really came on his 231 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: last couple of years and the office of cal his 232 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: last year really show people that, Yeah, he has a 233 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: type of talent that. 234 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 3: Can play at this level. So it'll be interesting in watch. 235 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: I mean, their their snaps to be had, maybe not 236 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: only inside linebacker, obviously special teams too. 237 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: So he has a path to the field. 238 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: To me if he's impressive, whether it just be really 239 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 2: special teams or even more, there's there's a path for 240 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: him to be a guy who dresses on Sundays and 241 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: it's making players to help the Ravens win. 242 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: Yep. 243 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 4: Carson Vinson. 244 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: I know a player that you talked with that after 245 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: practice today. 246 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 4: What'd you learn about Carson. 247 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: Well, I mean we talked a lot about his offenity. 248 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: Why was so important for him to go to HBCU. 249 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: Both his parents went to hbc They both went to 250 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: Winston Salem State. He's talked about going there Alabama A 251 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: and m that. You know, he was a player who 252 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 2: a lot of people thought he would transfer when he 253 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: started showing NFL potential. It was important for him to 254 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: stay there. And he's got a great personality. He's basically 255 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: challenged anybody to beat him in a game of chess 256 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: in the locker room. He was supposed to be the 257 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: chess master at Alabama and m he came in like, 258 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 2: I never lost down there. 259 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: That's what the man said, I never. 260 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: Lost, right, So yeah, I mean hopefully, yeah, we'll see 261 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: some of that action in the. 262 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 4: Chess. 263 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: I like to see that match. 264 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: And then on the on the field, I mean, he 265 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: he believes that tackle is his best position, but he's 266 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: fully capable of being a guy who can move into guard. 267 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: And you know, he knows the Ravens love versus a 268 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: offensive lineman. So it'll be interesting. I think that, you know, 269 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 2: working around with George Warhop and practice around the guys, 270 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: he'll be he he'll be like a sponge and he 271 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: certainly is hungry to prove that he can stick in 272 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: the NFL. He he didn't know he would be the 273 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: only HBCU player drafted, but now that he is, yes, 274 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: he knows that a lot of people are rooting for. 275 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: Him to make it. 276 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you he looked like an offensive tackle 277 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean that was the first thing 278 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: for me that jumped off was just this is a 279 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: big man six seven three twenty one, and he carries 280 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: it really well. It's not like sometimes I feel like 281 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: you see these really tall off as offensive tackles, they 282 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: just look a little bit uncoordinated, like, you know, like 283 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: they're right, their athleticism hasn't caught up with the height, 284 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: right That ain't that ain't Carson Vincent. I mean he 285 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: carries well big quads, like big quads, and uh yeah, he. 286 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 4: Moves really well. He looks like a big athlete that 287 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 4: carries that well. 288 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: And John Harball even said, you know, he can put 289 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: on some more weight, a little more strength, like an offseason, 290 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: a full year in the weight room, I think is 291 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: going to really benefit him. And you can tell George 292 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Warhap is coaching him, like this is a George Warhop 293 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: was about getting Carson Vincent and this is gonna be 294 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: his project, and you know, and I'm intrigued to see 295 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: the results of that because George is a great coach 296 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: and I think Carson's a great kid with a great 297 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: frame and a lot of a lot of checks, a 298 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: lot of boxes in terms of body attitude, all those things, 299 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: and he'll be a really interesting guy. To watch, and 300 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: I saw some blocks out there that I thought we're impressive. 301 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: Saw them go against Mike Green, and you know he 302 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: won some of those too, so I'm intrigued. 303 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: All Right, we're gonna take a break. 304 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk about some of the 305 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: other Ravens six round draft picks and what we saw 306 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: from their first practice as Ravens.

And this is a Florida kid, and 321 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: it was funny man. He said after he was drafted, 322 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: all that was going through his mind was LJ here, 323 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I come, LJ here, I come. You know, he was 324 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: ready to play with Lamar Jackson, you know, grew up 325 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: kind of looking up to him. 326 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: Some of the juke moves. 327 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put him on the same level as 328 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: Lamar with that, but Lejonte, I'm looking forward to some 329 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: of the joystick maneuvers from him too. 330 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 331 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: I mean obviously Jay Flowers, he already got a you know, 332 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: a guy, same thing, similar type, similar type action there. 333 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: And yeah, he's I think Deonte he's used to the 334 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: spotlight playing in Colorado this past year. Yep, you know 335 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: with Shador, I mean it was a lot going on. 336 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: I saw the hey Hail Mary pass he called to 337 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: win a game. He's a player. The return ability he has, 338 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: that's another rookie who get on the field right away 339 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: in that aspect. As Raven's number one return he has 340 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: a chance to win that job. So yeah, he's a 341 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: guy that I think is going to be closely watched 342 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 2: once you start seeing some of those moves of practice 343 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: preseason games. I'm sure he'll get a chance to return 344 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: some punts. Yeah, I mean you gotta like the excitement. 345 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: You know, he read playmakers, you know the time.

But it's exciting that he's now another 348 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: piece of the offense and maybe a specialty. 349 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: He said. 350 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Returning punts is like second nature to him. Said he's 351 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: been doing it since he was a kid at the playground. 352 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: He was always the guy they sent back there. Said, 353 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: all right, you know you're gonna be the guy when 354 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: they throw the kickoff. 355 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 4: You know, you kick it off and you just throw it. 356 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 4: He's the guy. 357 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: I believe him exactly the way it looks natural he 358 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: does pum returning. 359 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 3: As you know, it's not for everybody. 360 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he told me, he said, a guy in 361 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: my stature, I knew if I was gonna make it 362 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: to the NFL, I was gonna have to be make 363 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: an impact on special teams. You know, not a lot 364 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: of guys were going to just say, yup, you're a 365 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver. I mean he's standing in at five nine 366 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: one seventy. Right. So, but the interesting thing is he 367 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: had the volume as a wide receiver in college. I 368 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: mean he six most catches an FBS history, that's no joke. 369 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: And he said he transferred to Colorado. That was his decision. 370 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't like, you know, Prime came and said, ah, 371 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: you know, come come on over. That was his decision. 372 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: He wanted to step up a competition level and prove 373 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: that he could do it. And yeah, the Hail Mary 374 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: catch with clutch play and he had the volume there too. 375 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: So an intriguing guy thought, another good kid a Nias Peoples, 376 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: a Nis people fub aka fub, which is a blend 377 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: of you know, he was kind of a chunkier baby, 378 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: and that he was called Fubby when he was a 379 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: baby and they got eventually shortened to fub and he 380 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: just went with it. So he said, nobody calls him 381 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: a Nis now, even though he was named after Anas Williams, 382 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: a big time defensive back Hall of Famer. So I 383 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: was really impressed with him as a as a person, 384 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: really right. 385 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: I mean football has been in his family, it's his 386 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: whole life.
