1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Are those in that category in the box you're in

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: the they figured them out box, they figured about box. Well,

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: there's I mean, how many squirrels set? That's right. I

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: love the Ravens more than you know. Yep. I'm hoping

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: for Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. The season

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: is only a week away as of recording this. Uh

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: so we are very very excited. And with that in mind,

8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: we're opening up the bottom drawer of the workstation here,

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: getting out the crystal ball. We're gonna have to sanitize

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: this bike that needs the deep clean after that one

11
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: duster off, and we're coming out with our one Ravens predictions.

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: These are obviously correct. Unlike our roster predictions, we never

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: miss on our season predictions. Yeah, our season predictions are

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: always spot on. We also keep ourselves and check. We

15
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: go back after the season and we review and we

16
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: see how we did and if there is ever a

17
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: time where one of us is just way off, you

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: just constantly see that worked into content over the course

19
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: of the year and to make fun of each other

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: so that after the after the praise, yes, as we're

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: polished in the ring, ye, then we'll come back and

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: revisit this and look really really smart. It'll be great. Yeah.

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: In addition to making our predictions, we also have a

Speaker 1: ton of we have your predictions as well, the listeners.

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,479

Speaker 1: best is gonna get a T shirt. And I'll be honest,

33
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: we gotta telling of emails on this awesome times. You

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: say we got a ton of emails, which really is

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: two emails. We actually gotta talk tell the emails on

36
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: this so we won't be able to read them all.

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: I guess everyone was just waiting for the opportunity to

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: share their bowth predictions. Good stuff. Um, so that'll be

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: fun today as well. Are we gonna make We have

40
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: to make our own bold but realistic predictions. I like that. Yeah,

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: I still have mine yet, but I'll think of it.

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: That's that's end to how a bunch of your predictions go.

43
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: So this explains I will read this email because I

44
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: think it's just a good table setter for what we're

45
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: about to talk about. This one comes to us from Martin,

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: and my name is Martin. He's a faithful lounge listener

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: from Sweden. Oh, this is my guy. Fantasy League we've

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: got that you're in. We've got to actually emails from

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: listeners in Sweden, which is pretty unique and cool. Um,

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: he says, I honestly have no clue how two guys

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: who work at the place they have a podcast about

52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: can be so wrong about every prediction they make. Well,

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: that's why we love this spot, to keep up with

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: the good work guys. Yeah, well, Martin will emos, that's

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: not him. No different Martin, Yeah, different Martin, Different Martin

56
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: from Sweden, No way. Yeah. Wow, we're gonna have to

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: get him on the Fantasy League too. Yeah. So different Martin.

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: But his submission for the bull prediction is that Gus

59
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: is gonna be a top six rusher. Top six. That's

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: very specific. I like that, and that queen will be

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: top eight and tackles like yeah, I like both of those. Uh.

62
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: And then he says with the nice note, I generally

63
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: want to genuinely want to thank you guys for making

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: this podcast. Um, and it's a great way to keep

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: up with everything that's happening. Uh So, thank you for

66
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: the email, Martin. We really do appreciate you listening all

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: the way from Sweden and sending in your your prediction.

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a good one. I'll warn your Martin,

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to win, even if it

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: is one of the best predictions, because we can't send

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: a T shirt internationally, so so even if you don't win,

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: you can just blame it on that fact. It's a

73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: great email. And uh, I love you busting our chops

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: for our lack of success. I hope you're gonna just

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: put a period on there. I love you, I love

76
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: you Martin. I love you Martin. All right, UM, I'll

77
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: read one more email and then we'll get into some

78
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: of our predictions, and then we'll just continue to read

79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: these over the course of the show. This one comes

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: to us from Evan. Evan says, what's up to the lounge.

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of the show. My big bad

82
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: Bull prediction for the season is that Tyson Williams is

83
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: going to rush for more than a thousand yards. I

84
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: really like what we're seeing from him in the preseason.

85
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Uh and with a very sad departure in the injury

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: to j K. I see Tyson um going into Gus

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: edwards former role, and Gus is also gonna be an

88
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: easy a thousand yard rusher according to Evan here, So

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: these two guys basically North South runners, two guys rushing

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: from more than a thousand yards? Is this a little

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: too out there? A little too bold? Is the question? Bold?

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: But stick this one thousand for Tyson and I found

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: easy thousand for Gus. The easy I'm fine with the

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: easy thousand for Gus, sure, but the thousand for Tyson

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: is a bold prediction. I don't know if I can

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: give that one a T shirt. Okay, well, it's I

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: like the confidence. I like what we saw from Tyson

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I do totally agree that like he

99
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: does kind of fit into the Gus Edwards role of

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the past few seasons. Late in the game, you need

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: someone to run out the clock, you need a North

102
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: South guy, you need to pick up tough yards like

103
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Tyson seemed like he can do that. He showed that

104
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Um, I like Tyson, but man so

105
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: to make the thousand yard prediction. And also, I mean

106
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: j K Dobbins had he barely got over eight hundred

107
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: last year, and that's j K Dobbins. Now, you know,

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens went into the season with kind of a

109
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: three headed monster. So j K didn't see like Tyson

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: could potentially see more action early in the season than JK. Did.

111
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: You know? JK was seeing between five and tin carries.

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Let's say you're in this season. I don't know that

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: Tyson is gonna see a lot more than that, you know, like, yeah,

114
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: and that that's that is that is a big number, right,

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: And then j K became the lead dog really the

116
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: past last six games. Yeah, I don't think Tyson, barring injury,

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: has become the lead dog. And also the other factor

118
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: here and we will talk about this as we get

119
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: into our predictions, is obviously Lamar Jackson, who's going to

120
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: be a big piece of the rushing workload. Again, he's

121
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: drawn over a thousand the last two seasons, so I

122
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: don't know if Evan takes we're gonna see less rushing

123
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: from Lamar or if he just thinks we're gonna have

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a three one thousand yard rushers. I would bet it's

125
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: the ladder because he's a bold guy. All Right, So

126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: thank you for the email, Evan. So now we're gonna

127
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: jump into some of our predictions, and like I said,

128
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: we'll read these from you guys listeners over the course

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: of the show. You can email the last at the

130
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. All right, let's

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: start with do you want to start with them or

132
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: you want to start with the season. I think we

133
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: should start with Lamark, all right, predict the stats. We're

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: just with him. You just gotta give me the full

135
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: picture here, okay. Okay. I think it's a rebound year

136
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson. Okay. And also, you got a statuem

137
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: last year, you want me? Okay. So he threw for

138
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: two thousand seven and fifty seven yards. Okay, he had

139
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns to nine interceptions, and he ran for

140
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: one thousand and five yards and another seven score. So

141
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: he scored thirty three touchdowns in all. Okay. And so

142
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: the rebound season in your mind is he's definitely back

143
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: over three thousand passing yards. Uh. And I think that

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: I think that Lamar could top. I think really the

145
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: over under is Lamar. That's probably where I said it,

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: and I think that he'll probably end up under, but

147
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: not by much. Well, I'm drinking the same cool a

148
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: that you are. And also, just as a frame of reference,

149
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: he passing yards, So thirty hundred is a pretty significant

150
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: jump exactly from an MVP season. And now there's an

151
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: extra game. And also there's pot two extra games because

152
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: he only played in fifteen. Each of the last two

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: seasons he sat out and also he spent Now part

154
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: of the reason he only played in fifteen is because

155
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: he was so good in the other fourteen that he

156
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: didn't you know, he didn't need to play um in

157
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: that in that last game, it's so good in the

158
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: hay so um so. So you're saying just on okay,

159
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: And I think I think that really what made him

160
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: stand out in his MVP season was the touchdown the

161
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: interception PTO third in that year. Uh he had yeah,

162
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: thirty six, which is crazy to six, that's wild. I

163
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: mean that he led the league in touchdown passes. Uh.

164
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: So he went from thirty six to twenty six last season.

165
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna split the difference, and I'm going thirty one. Okay, Okay,

166
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna throw as many as he

167
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: did MVP year, but I think he's definitely gonna throw

168
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: more than he did last year, and I think that

169
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: the interceptions will probably be around the same. I'll say,

170
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I'll say eight picks a little less than last year,

171
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: one lesson last year. We are very close here, which

172
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not good, usually not. Yeah,

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: I am right in the same ballpark. I've got him

174
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: between thirty three d and thirty four hundred passing yards,

175
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna gear between thirty four and thirty five. Okay,

176
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: So on my hair below you, I had him at

177
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: thirty two touchdowns passing touchdowns, and then I had him

178
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: at seven interceptions, so under me, and then the other

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: is rushing yards. Okay. So so I think he's under

180
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: a thousand this year. I was just gonna say, you're

181
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: making your thirst rate prediction of him going under a thousand.

182
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: You've missed this the last two years, dud. He three.

183
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: He ran for a thousand and five last year, so

184
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: don't be pretending like well, he needed to get it

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: in that last game. Anyone out there and got it

186
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: in that last game. That was you know he be

187
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: this year, he's going under this, all right, So let's

188
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: just recap. You're over two on that the past two

189
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: seasons and continuing to doubt you are one of those people.

190
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: You are in the box. You're in the they figured

191
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: him out box, they figured about boxing. I'm over here,

192
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: like RG three saying, if you think you figured him

193
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: out and then they breaks you down, breaks your ankles

194
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: and run runs for thirty yards, Lamar Jackson doesn't even

195
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: know what he's doing. That's that's what three said. Yeah,

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: he's instincts, instincts, and he's what you think you figured

197
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: him out, and then he's just gonna bust outside and

198
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: get the thirty yard game. That's what he does. He's

199
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna have a lot of those. I mean,

200
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna run for two yards. I

201
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be under a thousand. Though, like I said,

202
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: as you've predicted the last twook. Here's here's the thing.

203
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: By the way, last year, you don't think Tyson is

204
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: getting it k Dobbins, they're gonna need him in the

205
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: running game last year, last year, he gashed every single

206
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: one of the NFC East teams on the same play

207
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: up the middle for a forty five yard touchdown. I

208
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,239
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna get the same play for touchdowns

209
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: three to four times this year. And he also those

210
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: were long ones. Back in he ran for twelve hundred yards.

211
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: So even with those long runs last year, he's still

212
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: he still was below what he did, but he also

213
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: had about twenty fewer carries from the previous year. I

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: think he's still going over a thousand. He's got the

215
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: extra game to do it. He's done it in each

216
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: of the last two years. The Ravens. As much as

217
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: we've talked about the new passing game, I still think

218
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: that so much of their offense is going to be

219
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: predicated on the running game, especially early on this season.

220
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: Do keep forgetting about game? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah already

221
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it. Gosh, he's so bad at this,

222
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: all right, I'm sticking with it. So as we're talking

223
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: the passing game, let's talk about who's gonna be catching

224
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: those passes. Who do you think is gonna lead the team?

225
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: There's catches, yards and touchdowns. In past years, we've said

226
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews across the board. I'm not doing that this year.

227
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying that Andrews is going to lead the team

228
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: in catches. Okay, last year, by the way, Hollywood and

229
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: Mark were tied with fifty eight catches. So so I've

230
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: got Andrew's leading the team of receptions. What about you? Yes,

231
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: I would have Mark Andrews leading the team in receptions.

232
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: I think some of the wide receiver love you know,

233
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Marky's Brown had a hundred targets last year, which was

234
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: twelve more than Mark Andrews, and then no other receiver

235
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: had over fifty. Will That's gonna be the wide receiver.

236
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: Targets are gonna be spread a little bit more evenly

237
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins. Now, I think we'll have more than

238
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: Willie sneed did uh? You know, as long as he

239
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: stays healthy. And then I think once Bateman's on the field,

240
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss a minimum of three games that he'll

241
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: get some target share. Also, I mean, Devin do you

242
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: or boy Can was the third most targeted wide receiver

243
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: last year with thirty three targets. I think it's safe

244
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: to say that Rashod Bateman is going to have more

245
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: than thirty three targets in his rookie season. All right,

246
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: so we both agree it's gonna be Andrews on catches,

247
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns, going Marquise yards. I'm going him on

248
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns. He led the team last year with

249
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: seven hundred sixty nine receiving yards. Lamar Jackson told us

250
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: on this very podcast at the start of camp that

251
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: his goal is to get Hollywood over a thousand this year.

252
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: Will wow. I think Marquis is going over a thousand.

253
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: So he missed, he missed time and training camp, but

254
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: I can tell you we just had a chance to

255
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: talk with Hollywood. That hasn't shaken his confidence one bit.

256
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: He's still just as confident, big expectations for himself and

257
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: what he can do. I mean, his mindset is as

258
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: long as he's on the field, he's gonna make plays,

259
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: and I think he will. I agree with him. I

260
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: think that an under um something we haven't talked enough

261
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: about is what these additions do for Marquis Brown. In

262
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: addition to Lamar Jackson right bringing Sammy Watkins, drafting Rashad Bateman,

263
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: like I think a lot of the Ravens thought process

264
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: was with that was obviously let's help Lamar out and

265
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: with his throwing, outside numbers, his vertical passing game, all

266
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: that stuff, right, we needed more wide receiver threats. But

267
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: it was also let's open up the field a little

268
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: bit more for Marquise Brown. Let's let him work and

269
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: and shift around and create some mismatches in the slot

270
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: with him and move them around a little bit. And like,

271
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: I think that Marquis could be a big benefactor from

272
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and Rashat Bateman. Well, I don't disagree with that.

273
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm going under a thousand yards. Wow, you're

274
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: a hater. What a hater? Now? Because I think that

275
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be a bit of a spread things out.

276
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I think that Sammy Watkins is gonna be a big factor,

277
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: and I think that Mark Andrews is going to continue

278
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: to be a big factor. So I just don't necessarily

279
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: see there. And then Versha Bateman when he does get

280
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: back on the field of rab He's just the first

281
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: round pick on this guy for a reason. They've got

282
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: big hopes for him. So I think that Hollywood is

283
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I think this is probably the best

284
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: season of his career, but his career. Yeah, I mean yet, yeah, yeah, yeah,

285
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: up to this point. Um, but I do not think

286
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: that he's gonna top a thousand. I think he's more

287
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: in the eight fifty range. Eight fifty, you're not even

288
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: hitting nine. Eight fifty range you get, you get a

289
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: fifty fifty yard Christian neither direction. Yeah, you get a

290
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards either way, all right, all right, and

291
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: then touchdown. I think about it. Last year. He put

292
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: up seven sixty nine last year, Okay, and he had

293
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: he struggled with drops mid season. There's like a three

294
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: game span there where he had some gimmes that he dropped, right,

295
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: So let's let's erase some of those at least. I mean,

296
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: every wide receiver is gonna drop a ball time, but

297
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: I think that was a bit of an anomaly. Yeah.

298
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: I like Marquise's hands, and I mean a couple more

299
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: big if he breaks some more big ones, which really

300
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: that's marquis game, right, he should have had more long

301
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns and I think that he's got some opportunities for that.

302
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Plus the seventeenth game, remember he used that every single prediction. Um,

303
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: and then I do have him leading the team in touchdowns.

304
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: I got him at I mean he had he had

305
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: eight last year. Oh ten, now his rookie year. Um,

306
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: we'll have to look that up. But um, he had

307
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: a number. I think you may have led the team

308
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: in touchdowns his rookie year. Um. That was part of

309
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: the reason that Lamar had so much success. Um. But

310
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: I think that I'm going under that. You're incredibly seven. Alright, Okay, alright,

311
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: So he had seven rookie year eight last year, so

312
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: you just think that the number keeping keeps increasing. I'm

313
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: going I'm going to eight. I'm going right around eight again.

314
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm bullish on Hollywood this year. I really am. We're

315
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: just kind of feeling it. I think that he's, uh,

316
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: he's a bargain in fantasy right now. Well, that's definitely

317
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: the case. You know, I'd be lying if I said,

318
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: you know, when you do when you do miss basically

319
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: all the training camp, it kind of hampers your expectations

320
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: expectations a little bit. Um, But I still think he's

321
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna remember that first practice of training camp. I know

322
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: he was torturing people. He was and and this is

323
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: what I reminded you of earlier today. Years ago, he

324
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: basically missed all of training camp good portion. And then

325
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: he comes out there and in the first game, his

326
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: first two catches for touchdowns and he finishes that game

327
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: against my aim with hundred forty seven receiving yards. So, uh,

328
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: it's not what he hasn't been here before, and that

329
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: was with he was still dealing with the foot injury.

330
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: He wasn't even he's in better health now than he

331
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: certainly was then. Yeah, he's told he's had today he's so.

332
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: Um all right, um, let's read another email here from

333
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: a from a listener. This one comes to us from Gary.

334
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: He lives in l A now but grew up in Baltimore,

335
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: was a Colts fan. He's a Turp. There you go,

336
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: die hard Ravens fan for the Turps this week and

337
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: eat it. He said. He travels back for at least

338
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: one Ravens game a year. He's going to Cleveland this year. Um. So,

339
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: his prediction this year is the Ravens go fourteen and three.

340
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: Three losses he sees are coming from three of these

341
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: four Kansas City, Cleveland, Green Bay in l A. So

342
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: he thinks that the Ravens go one in three between

343
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: those four teams. And they finished the season fourteen and three. Also,

344
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: that's not even his bold prediction. That's just that's just

345
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: the prediction. His bold prediction, Lamar runs for a thousand,

346
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: My guy throws for four thousand and is once again

347
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: and the m v P talk this year. I don't

348
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: think that's unrealistic. Yeah, I think that's realistic. That is

349
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: I I do think. I do think that's realistic. I mean,

350
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: if he throw runs for a thousand, throws for four thousand,

351
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: they'll be right there in the m v P. His

352
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: numbers weren't even close to that. Uh, his throwing numbers

353
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: weren't even close to that two years ago, and he

354
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: was the unanimous MVP. So if he's significantly better than that,

355
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: then yes, he is probably not just gonna be at

356
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: the talk. He's gonna he's gonna be the talk. He's

357
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: probably gonna run away with it. So great email from Gary.

358
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Um, that's in the running, Gary, You are

359
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: in the running. All right, Let's keep it moving. Let's

360
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: take a look at the rushing game, because as much

361
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: as we love to talk about the passing game, I

362
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: still think there's gonna be a heavy dose to the

363
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: ground game. Are you going over or under a thousand

364
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: for the bush. I'm going over. It's easy over, It's

365
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: an easy over. I'm thinking the bus is gonna put

366
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: up about twelve Mmm. I like that big year for

367
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: the bus. I think so. I mean the bus was

368
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: talking a thousand before Jk's injury. Yeah, you know, like

369
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: I always remember with the Bus when we did the

370
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: podcast with him last year and basically asked him like,

371
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: you know, does any part of you either want to

372
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: go somewhere or be in a place where you are

373
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: the guys before you signed this contract, before you sign

374
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: the contract, like we're you're the guy, uh, because there's

375
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: been mark Ingraham dobbing, and he's like, who said I

376
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: can't be the guy here? He said, I'm not the

377
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: number one back here exactly. And it's like, oh okay,

378
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: I like that, And um, this was well before the

379
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: injury to Jkble He's gonna get that opportunity. And everything

380
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: that we've seen from the Bus since he's arrived here

381
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: is that the guy produce has been given opportunities. He's

382
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: averaged more than five hours to carry every time you

383
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: touch the rock, so and he's gonna touch the rock

384
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Yes, Yeah, I think It's gonna

385
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: be a big year for Gus. You know, it's not

386
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: just the last time that he was the Ravens lead

387
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: back was in his rookie year with Lamar when they

388
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: went on that incredible run down the stretch to make

389
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And Gus is the lead back. He is

390
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: five times better now as a player than he was

391
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: then when he was running for a lot of arts. Right.

392
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean now it's not just the downhill thumper, right,

393
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: this bus has got some moves, right. It's handling is upset.

394
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: Is handling as much improved, and so like just the

395
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: ability to bounce outside. I mean his body now he's

396
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: trimmed down. He's he's a different you know, he still

397
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: brings the wood, but he's I think faster, quicker feet,

398
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: more explosive, can get outside. He's got a little bit

399
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: more in his receiving game now that he's going to be,

400
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, a big time passed catcher out of the backfield.

401
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: But he'll he'll have some Um he's just he's just

402
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: a really good player, yeah, I think. Um. And he

403
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: knows this scheme so well. He knows how to get

404
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: yards in this scheme. Yeah, I think that Gus is

405
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: gonna need that because there's gonna be a lot of

406
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: miles on the bus this year, and so if you're

407
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: playing like he did, where you're just a lot of

408
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: contact every play. He was pretty beat up at the

409
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: end of that. It's tough to sustain that over the

410
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: course of a seventeen game season. So, um, I think

411
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: that that the handling that you're talking about is gonna

412
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: be important. I'm also over a thousand on him. Um,

413
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: so I think that probably in that I'm probably in

414
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: that eleven and twelve range. I don't think, but I

415
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: think that he's going to be you know Dred's prediction. Um,

416
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: all right, flip it over to the other side of

417
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: the ball. I got j K. Dobbins. By the way,

418
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: in our international Fantasy league, I couldn't believe it. The

419
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: way the Ravens come up to the Marrow was the

420
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Obviously you had j K. No,

421
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: I got guts, you said j K. I was like, no, no,

422
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: Himanta picked j K with a very least pick sentimental pick. Yeah,

423
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: I picked I got the Gusts though the gust Bus

424
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: it was. It was amazing. Well, um, all right. Interceptions

425
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. I think we're both probably gonna

426
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: say Marcus Peters. It's just the automatic pencil and Marcus

427
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Peters lead the team. And interceptions? Are you going with

428
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: the surprise? No? Yeah, I'm gonna going with Marcus Mark Spears. Yeah, same,

429
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: he had four last year. I love the team. Um,

430
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: how but who do you think it's going to be

431
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: in second? Last year was Tias Bowser. I don't think

432
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: anyone predicted Tias Bowser to the second on the team.

433
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: You have three interceptions last year. Who do you think

434
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: I think that second and interceptions will be. I'm going

435
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: to go with Marlon Humphrey. Al Right, now, Marlin has

436
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: been known for the punch out, but you think that

437
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: he expands the turnover game this year? I do. I

438
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: think that it's not gonna be a lot, but I

439
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: think I think he'll get four. That's that's a lot.

440
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Marcus laved the team with four last year, So alright,

441
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: three to four with with a with a with a

442
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: one and to push it either way, I'll go, yeah,

443
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: there's a plus minus of three and I'll predict three.

444
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: You know what? You know what that is? That's the pick.

445
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: That's the prediction. Where you hadn't spent any time thinking

446
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: about it, and you just say I'm going I'm going

447
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 1: Marlin for three. He hadn't spent a second thinking about it.

448
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: You're on the clock, you're hoping that I was gonna

449
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: go first, and you just say, well, he's the other

450
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: starting cornerback. I'll just say no, No. I think I

451
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: think Marlon uh, I think that's the next kind of

452
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: step for him, and he's talked about it. He wants

453
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: more interceptions and he's gonna get his opportunities. He'll be

454
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: more on the outside, which is his natural position, assuming

455
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: that Tavon is more than the slot, I think that

456
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: will offer Marlon more opportunities for picks also, um, you know,

457
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: the slots just a little more bang bang um, which

458
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: put him in better position I think for more first fumbles.

459
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: You know, he's just around the ball a lot um.

460
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: But I think on the outside, give me Marlin Humphrey,

461
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: al right, the other go ahead, let me give you

462
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: if you give you mine. Who see, I'm actually being

463
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more bold here with this prediction. Patrick Queen,

464
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen, Patrick Queen had he had one last year,

465
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: but I think that he you know, Tias Bowser. No

466
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: one was talking about him being second on the team

467
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: and interceptions last year, Queen, I think improves in coverage.

468
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: He spent a ton of time talking about that work

469
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: on that this offseason. I think that shows with some

470
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: interceptions this year, probably, I mean three, probably is second

471
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: on the team. So they're gonna test him to because

472
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna test that pass coverage out, especially earlier in

473
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: the year. And I think that he's just gonna he's

474
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna do the defense more. He's gonna play faster, which

475
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: he played super fast and preseason and he was all

476
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: over the place. He has a big season. I think

477
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: I think Bowser should be in the conversation to and

478
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: I do think another dark horse would be de Sean Elliott.

479
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about a guy who didn't have

480
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: any picks last year. I believe um, but no picks

481
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: in his career. But it was a big time playmaker

482
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: in college. And we've all talked about how we have

483
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: higher expectations for him now in his second year as

484
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: a starter. Why wouldn't those expectations come in the form

485
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: of turnovers. I think it's I thought about him. I

486
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: think I took him second last year. So oh yeah, wow,

487
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: I think you did too. No I didn't. I think

488
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: we both did. No. No, alright, well probably fresh off

489
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: of the Sean pod. Yeah, well that's the classic. You're feeling,

490
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: you're feeling well love and you go with the guy

491
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: us interviewed. Um, speaking of that Chuck from past, it's

492
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna lead the team, Chow from Pasadena says, coming off

493
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: the Anthony Avor podcast, prediction Aver gets a pick six

494
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: this year. I could see a pick six and and

495
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: he leads the team and interceptions Lee. So he's not

496
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: even saying a second. This is the bull to choke.

497
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: You're out. No T shirt, Chuck, Sorry Chuck. He said

498
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: he can help fit into the three X shirt. You know,

499
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: actually don't think we have any three xsu But so

500
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate the email, Chuck, and I love the Aborit podcast.

501
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Just talking with him, he was great. But as much

502
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: as I love the conversation with him, I'm still taking

503
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters to leave the team and intersting. All right, um,

504
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll

505

515
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: category here, Garrett, Let's oh, this is a good one.

516
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: This is actually I think one of the tougher things

517
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: to predict. Last year, Matthew Judeon led the team with

518
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: you know how many Judant had last year? Six six

519
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: last year, and then Klaas was second with four. So

520
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean there was no dominant figure in the sack

521
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: production last season. I kind of foresee a similar situation

522
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: this year, and that I don't see. I don't see

523
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: a double dig stack guy this year. I would agree

524
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: with that. I think it's somebody's gonna get higher than six.

525
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: I've got someone getting higher than six. I've got Clay's

526
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: Campbell leading the team this year with seven Okay, I'll

527
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: go justin Houston. All right, I'm gonna go justin Houston

528
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: with seven. So we're both still thinking not a huge

529
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: year in terms of one single guy getting a lot

530
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: of sacks. But just as a side note, like I

531
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think that's a terrible thing. Of course, anybody

532
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: would love to have uh Khalil Mack, t J. Watt,

533
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: you know whatever type production. But I think that if

534
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: you spread the love and a bunch of guys are

535
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback, that can make life really difficult.

536
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: And a quarterback and at something Wink Martindale loves to do.

537
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: You ready, justin Houston seven, Clays Campbell six, Dafeo a

538
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: four uh Patrick Queen four? Yeah? Um? Who else am

539
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: I missing here? Well you're probably honestly, miss Bowser, I'm

540
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna go four. Uh and then and then honestly, you

541
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: can you can get into getting the wolves and you

542
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: know the two three. Um, I think you're gonna get

543
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: a couple from the deep like DeShawn Elliot. Could he

544
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: have to have two to three some of those guys. So,

545
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, so we just rattle off like eight names, right,

546
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: and and one of those names was not Jalen Ferguson,

547
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: By the way, get a couple one two the rate

548
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: and a half. Look, we talked about it on the

549
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: on the fifty three Man Prediction podcast or the Reaction podcast. Mark,

550
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: that's a good, that's a beast, that's a good. I'm

551
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna go five that, which is a pretty high number

552
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: for a tackle. Yeah, that's a very high number for

553
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: a second year interior defense attack. Five for Matt a beast? Interesting?

554
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: All right? Would you put him my thing on third

555
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: on the team? Yeah, seven at six, got a beast

556
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: at five. I was gonna go four on him. We

557
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys on that four range. But yeah,

558
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: I go Calais Lucky's chasing the chasing a hundred. Also

559
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: justin Houston is chasing a hundred. I think Houston gets it.

560
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: He's got ninety seven and a half. What's close? Need eight?

561
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: I think? And you're putting a seven day. I want

562
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: the come back for another season. He's gonna come back.

563
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna come back. Oh that's I don't want Clays

564
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Keep me here, gonna come back? All right? Um,

565
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: how bad is he gonna want it? When he's sitting on.

566
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: All right, UM, give me your a breakout player this year.

567
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: Break out player just a matter be King. I mean,

568
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: if I'm giving him five sacks, he's my breakout player.

569
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: I actually I agree with Beth bk a lot. I

570
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: just everyone that you talked to is so high on

571
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: this guy. His teammates think that he has star potential. Um,

572
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean Peter Peter King named him as a potential

573
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year candidate. Really, what do you

574
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: think about that? Wow? I would besed would be surprised.

575
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: It's a defensive Player of the Year candidate that Peter

576
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: King ain't getting the lounge T shirt for that. That's

577
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: a little two bowls. Sorry, Peter, that was out of bounds. Yeah,

578
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: I like it. I don't know that I go that far.

579
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of really really good defensive

580
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: players we well exactly. I mean, even on this defense,

581
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: you have Humphrey Marks, Peters, Patrick Queen. I mean, if

582
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: we're going to talk a defensive player of the year

583
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: cannet on this team, I would probably say Patrick Queen

584
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: to be honest, or Marlon I would say Marlin, yeah,

585
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: number one, Yeah, it would be Marlin or Patrick Queen. Yeah.

586
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Donnald has been a multi time at

587
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: defensive player there in that position. But he gets like

588
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: twenty five sacks, like he's got quite that many, but yeah,

589
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: crazy amount. He's gone over twenty before. Uh so like

590
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: it's he's had ridiculous production. I like Matti Bike and

591
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think he's probably the breakout player.

592
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: Um all right, he get up into like the eight

593
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: that would be arranged, that would be a big, big

594
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: season for him. Yeah, all right, m v P. Let's

595
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: go offensive MVP. Obvious, we go on the bar. I

596
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: am yeah, as much as I like the guest bus,

597
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: as much as I love the guest bus, Yeah, I

598
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 1: can't do it. Yeah, I don't know that. There's too

599
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: much to discuss there. What are Sammy's numbers? Like this

600
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: year we didn't do that. We haven't talked at all

601
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: about Sammy's numbers. Uh. We also haven't talked at all

602
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: about Sean Bateman's numbers, and we are about to do

603
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. So let's hold Bateman. But Sammy,

604
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's Sammy's probably around six How

605
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: many games does he play? That's the first question. They

606
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: that's going to lead to this the answer, right, I mean,

607
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: that's the that's the question. You already missed time in

608
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: training camp. Let's say twelve twelve games for Sammy, he's

609
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: missing five. Dang man, he missed time to Okay, all right,

610
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: So then how many yards is he putting up? I

611
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: think Sammy's putting up. I hope I'm wrong. I hope

612
00:32:52,760 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: he played seventeen. Obviously, obviously Sammy's putting up six fifty. Okay,

613
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: all right, so five scores, yeah, I think he's in

614
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: that six range. Five scores seems about right, um, I think.

615
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens really are. Mark Andrews had seven

616
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: hundred and one yards last year, so if Sammy's six fifty, yeah,

617
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: and the Ravens like what they have seen from Sammy

618
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: walk ins to training camp. I really have liked him.

619
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: They he brings an added element to this offense. There's

620
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: there's been there's a play. I mean, he just comes

621
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: across on a slant and it's just so different from

622
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: Willie Sneak catching a slant right where well you know,

623
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe he'll shed a tackle or whatever. Sammy gets that

624
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: ball and he is up the field. I mean, he's

625
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna split some defenders this year and just

626
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 1: be off and running. Sammy Watkins, I think people forget

627
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: because he's been in the league a little while now

628
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: and he's had the injuries and whatnot. They forget how

629
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: fast he is. Like, the dude can be explosive, and

630
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: I I'm very excited to watch him this year. I

631
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: think could be a very good year for him. Yeah,

632
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 1: and then um, all right, defensive m v P. I'm

633
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna go with Marlin Humphrey. I still think that he

634
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna be like I don't know,

635
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: they'll have crazy big stats like you took him to

636
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: be second on the team and interceptions. I think he's

637
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: still gonna get a number of force fumbles. I think

638
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a lockdown corner, and I think the

639
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna be one of the best teams in

640
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: the league. So like, I don't think it's like, man,

641
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna put up monster interception numbers. But I just think, like,

642
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: if you watch the team, you're like, man, Marlin Humphrey

643
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: is just talking about how he's amazing all year long.

644
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. You know, I think that

645
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen will get a lot of buzz this year

646
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: because he is flying around the field more and like

647
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: he already made a number of splash plays as a rookie,

648
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, if we're talking force fumbles, fumble recoveries, interceptions, sacks,

649
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: he did he did it all right, and um and

650
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: the coverage was a problem at times. That will be better.

651
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: I think that. Um, And he's just gonna make more

652
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: plays than he did last year. So I think that

653
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: he'll be in the conversation getting a lot of buzz.

654
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: And I think, how's this for a prediction? Ravens defense

655
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: number one league? It's gonna finish number numero ud alright league.

656
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: I think I would not be surprised at that numero.

657
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, and and you're trying to get a lounge

658
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: T shirt. You got an X sol We're out of

659
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the three X Boddy start. Um. I think that also

660
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for them is gonna be turnovers. Marlon

661
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: is not gonna have as many punch outs. I love

662
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: the fruit punch, I don't see the fruit right. So

663
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get more in receptions, which I

664
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: think they will get because I think their overall pass

665
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: Rusher will be better. Um, they're gonna get more turnovers

666
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: even without as many punch outs. All right, let's go

667
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: through another email here and then give our final prediction

668
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: for Rookie of the Year and season record. Correct. Jersey

669
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Hewitt says, great interview with anti favorite Um not

670
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: so watch with the Rosher predictions. I can't believe Garrett

671
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: had fifty four players on him. There should be a

672
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: penalty for not following the rules. Maybe he needs to

673
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: wear one of those triple xl lounge shure. It's all

674
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: day long. As for season predictions, I have the Rams

675
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: going twelve and five. All right, So he's not as

676
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: confident as Gary is. He's got losses to Kansas City,

677
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: split with Cleveland, split with Pittsburgh, losing to Indie and

678
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Um. So his player predictions, He's got three

679
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: players with seventy plus catches, so that's pretty Andrews Hollywood,

680
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: h and Walkins. And two players with nine plus sacks

681
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: Houston and oh Way. So wait, with nine plus that

682
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: would be a big year for That would be a

683
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: monster season. That would probably be a Rookie of the

684
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: Year conversation. Yeah, he probably would win it by the way,

685
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: I have him a little higher than I think you

686
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: said four. Right, I think got I'm more in the

687
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: six range. Um, all right, so thank you, Jeff. Um.

688
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: Here's another question. This is from Luke. Longtime listening to

689
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: the lounge. Uh, you've probably gotten tired of the Lamar predictions.

690
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: So he's focusing on the other guy from Florida, and

691
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: that's Hollywood Brown, his big bold person. Yeah, he says,

692
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: you put over put him over a thousand. That's not

693
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: enough for Luke's liking. Hollywood is going for in this

694
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: seventeen games season, gonna be a top five in the

695
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: league and receiving yards from a fantasy from a fantasy standpoint. Um,

696
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: so that's his big bold prediction. Put him in the running.

697
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: Put him in the running. There's more pass catching weapons,

698
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: which you've talked about. There's new schemes in the passing game,

699
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: and the continued progression of Lamar. It's gonna happen. He

700
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: is speaking it into existence. Put him in the running.

701
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think it's crazy. Son

702
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: Williams a thousand yards crazy? All right? Um. Another one here,

703
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: This one is from Chris. He says he's got a

704
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: bunch of them. He says, throw it all up against

705
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: the wall. The gust of bust fifty plus Lamar, three

706
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: thousand plus Lamar. That was that's that's not that bold.

707
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: But Um, Andrews and Gusts fight for the most touchdowns

708
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: all season. I can see that, Um, the defense, the

709
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: defenses between first and third all season. So you have

710
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: already gone more bold than that by just putting it

711
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: out there. Good number one overall and then uh. He

712
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: said that Watkins and Brown have between eight and twelve

713
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: touchdowns each. Also also another Anthony Aver prediction people he

714
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: resonated on the podcast, he gets his first career interception

715
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: in Week two against Patrick Mahomes. I like that. I

716
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: like that prediction from Chris Um. I like it, Chris,

717
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: But I've got a docu because you just took the

718
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: make approach and just threw too many predictions out there,

719
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna be the winner. But all right,

720
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: and so now before we pick our winner, let's go

721
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: ahead and do our Rookie of the Year and then

722
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: our final season a record prediction, UM offensive Rookie of

723
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: the Year, who you got? Well, I do think that

724
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: it's not breaking up offensive and defensive. Yeah, yeah, let's

725
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: just go get your kie. Yeah. I do think the

726
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: reshot Bateman's gonna come back and make some place for

727
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: this team in some some big place, clutch place. I

728
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: put it off a O A at four Sex, which

729
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: is not going to be which is a huge production.

730
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Who else did we pick? Well, there's fun. I mean,

731
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: how many squirrels is eaten that I'd say if Bank

732
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland gets over a dozen squirrels, consume the season, he's

733
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: in the running. Else did we pick? This goes back

734
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: to Martin's email. You know, I can't believe two guys

735
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: who worked for the team, one guy in particular, Martin, Um,

736
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: I will Bateman. I'm going Bateman despite the injury, wow

737
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: overcomes the core muscle surgery, comes back. I'm telling you

738
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna win a game. He's gonna win a game

739
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: Hollywood esque, you know walk off that he had in Cleveland. Basically,

740
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: Bateman is gonna win a game. Okay, I'm gonna go

741
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: with Oa. I said, I think around six sacks. I

742
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: think he said, well, uh, I think that I've just

743
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: really been impressed with everything that I've seen from him.

744
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: So like you may hear six sacks and you don't think, Wow,

745
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: that's a great year, but as a rookie, that's a

746
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: that's a solid season. I think that he learns from

747
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: from Houston Um and then ultimately steps into an even

748
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: bigger role next year. But I think that this is

749
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: uh a night. And I also think that a couple

750
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: of those from O A are big plays like strip

751
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: sack um key moment, like he shows up and the

752
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Ravens need a pass rusher to step up in a

753
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: big moment, and I think that he does. Okay, he

754
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: his speed is gonna regardless of where he's at technique

755
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: wise and all that stuff, Like, his speed is gonna

756
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna get some right tackles that are just not

757
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: fit to block him, like that have no business being

758
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: on the same field as him athletically, and he's gonna

759
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: beat him like a drum and and quite honestly, that

760
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: might be the game where he gets three, Like he

761
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: might just get a matchup against some right tackle and

762
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: that guy is just gonna have a long night. Yeah.

763
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: I also think that there's potential for that early in

764
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: the season where all of a sudden, it's like teams

765
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: like where did this guy come from, you know, like

766
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: it's not a ton of tape of him out there yet,

767
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: and the speed just catches some people. Maybe it happens

768
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: on Monday. Dalen Hayes, by the way, three sacks, all right, yeah,

769
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: put him in. Put him in that group. Dalen Hayes

770
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: is gonna get in that group, and he's gonna be

771
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: on the higher end of that, you know. The I

772
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: think I tell us out five guys and said to

773
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: Dale Hayes three Dylaney iss give or take three a

774
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: nice little differ, alright. And then the prediction for overall

775
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: season record. There's seventeen games here, so it's gonna pay

776
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: your math off, all right, But I think the twelve

777
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: probably feels right. Um for wins, Yeah, I think I

778
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: think that the Rables have a tough schedule at times.

779
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: There's something. I mean, the Cleveland Pittsburgh Cleveland um trifecta

780
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: there over the course of three weeks is a difficult stretch.

781
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Finishing the season l A and Pittsburgh is tough. I

782
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: actually think opening the season, I think a lot of us,

783
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: you know you, especially before the schedule is out, you

784
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: think Raiders Raves will take care of business there, playing

785
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: on the road. I'm unin at football in that environment.

786
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the first game with fans in that stadium.

787
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: It is gonna be a challenging atmosphere. It is not

788
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: a gaming by any stretch. And then you come home

789
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: and gets the Chiefs on a short week, and obviously

790
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: you know the challenge there. So I think it's a

791
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: it's a there's a lot of tough stretches of the schedule. Well,

792
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: since you're Debbie Downer, I'm gonna have to go thirteen four,

793
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: that's right. I love the Ravens more than you know. Yep,

794
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for seventeen. I'm hoping for I'm going thirteen

795
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: and four. Put it on books. Put it on the book,

796
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 1: and to your point, and I'm going to write about

797
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: this this week. The Ravens biggest hurdle this season in

798
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: my mind, Like, the Ravens are gonna be a good team.

799
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: That's what I tell everybody. Ravens are gonna be good.

800
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really good again. The biggest hurdle is

801
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: everybody else is really good. Their schedule is ridiculous and

802
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: you never know, you know what quarterback gets injured at

803
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: one point. All that stuff, but goodness gracious, like the

804
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: division is loaded. The Bengals are going to be better.

805
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be you know, over five,

806
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be better. Um, I don't think you

807
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: can ever count out Pittsburgh. I know you're always scared.

808
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: I'm not as scared as far Um, but there will

809
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: still be over team. Cleveland probably has the best roster

810
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: maybe in the NFL one of certainly. And then you

811
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: like it seems like every good quarterback minus Aaron Rodgers

812
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson and a guy named Tom Brady, I

813
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: guess he's okay minus those three guys, like the old heads,

814
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: all the good young quarterbacks are in the a f C. Well,

815
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: and they got a player in Rogers this year too,

816
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, I mean he's on the schedule exactly.

817
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: But like, think about all the good young quarterbacks in

818
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: the league. Josh Allen, you got Justin Herbert, you know,

819
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: you got Baker Mahomes obviously. I mean, like there's just

820
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: so much talent. And now you know who knows how

821
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: good uh Mac Jones will be you or Joe Burrow,

822
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, coming back back from the injury. Number one

823
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: overall pick right. Um, It's just it's just kind of

824
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: crazy how loaded the conference is. And so that's what

825
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: I always tell people is the ratings are gonna be

826
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: really good, but they're gonna have a lot of tough

827
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: games this year and that they're gonna drop some of

828
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: this just because that's what happens, like you don't win

829
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: all this and uh, but it's it's gonna be a

830
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: fun year. I still think the Ravens are gonna go back.

831
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: They're gonna be back in the playoffs, and they're gonna

832
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: be a good team and it's gonna be a fun Yes,

833
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: I will second that put us in the championship. At

834
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: least the championship. At least size them up. What finger

835
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: are you getting well across that bridge when we get there.

836
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: One game at a time. I'm taking the Lamar Jackson

837
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: approach this year. Ryan, You're not talking about it. I'm

838
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: just taking it one game at a time. And the

839
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: only game I'm worried about that's not the game we're playing.

840
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: It's Monday night football. We just play the rest of

841
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: the game. Let us see what you think of our predictions.

842
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: You can email us of the lounge at Ravens on

843
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: NFL dot Net. And before we go, we gotta pick

844
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: our winner for the T shirt. I think I'm going

845
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: with Gary here, who's made a fourteen and three prediction,

846
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: and also that Lamar runs for a thousand and throws

847
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: for four and is right back in the m v

848
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: P the conversation. And then also since we're beat feeling generous,

849
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: Ryan will also send a T shirt to our guy

850
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: Luke who made the Hollywood Brown Dual winners double winners

851
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: for feeling jets for feeling generous. So we'll send out

852
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: those two T shirts, um and continue to keep those

853
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: emails coming. Thanks for our friends at Draft King, and
