 this is why I continue to say you cannot discredit Ravens fans because they know exactly what they're talking about it came out that Andy Isabella shout out to incanto too because it reminded me of uh this the sister Isabella but anyway Ravens fans when Andy Isabella got cut from the Cardinals they were the first to say oh I saw so many Ravens fans say this is such a Ravens move watch Ravens end up signing him oh you know the Ravens gonna pick him up and they did they did the Ravens are signing wide receiver former second round pick Andy Isabella and there were a lot of rumors right after the preseason after that Cardinals preseason game there were some rumors because Ravens got the chance to see Andy Isabella up close and personal and especially him battling back and forth uh with Brandon Stevens Brandon Stevens wants some reps but he certainly wants some reps too and I love that back and forth but then there were rumors that started circulating oh the Ravens are interested in Andy Isabella and I was like huh um and I guess maybe those rumors were true because now the Ravens already had to do a sit-back and be like okay we'll wait it out we'll wait it out you know his first couple years it ain't been so good but we'll just wait it out we just gotta be patient as a matter of fact we gave them hollywood brand well not really a give because the Cardinals gave the Ravens a first round pick for hollywood but they had to be thinking like okay we'll just wait it out because we just added another receiver to their receiver group they're gonna get DeAndre Hopkins back soon too um they got Randall Randall Moore they got AJ Green and whatnot so their receiver was a little crowded so Andy Isabella he's playing a lot in the preseason so that lets us know something about him and maybe he's not so high on the Cardinals depth chart and it all worked out for the Ravens um because they end up getting I guess their guy so to speak um but where will he fit in what will he do for these Baltimore Ravens and why did they sign him well hopefully we can answer a couple of those questions in this video and I appreciate y'all watching make sure you subscribe to this youtube channel um if you like daily videos videos literally every single day whether it be about the Ravens 99% of the time it's about the Ravens but we're diving the other teams as well um and if it's not for you that's cool as well I still appreciate you haven't taken any time out of your day to have watched even just one single video even if it's a second of one single video I appreciate you so Andy Isabella um now with this move this is a very uh low risk move because initially when I saw that the Ravens were signing Andy Isabella I'm like oh okay okay so he getting a roster spot all right cool but then I saw no no no they're signing him to the practice squad so I'm like oh okay okay I like that because it uh it it it mitigates the risk it limits the risk that's involved I mean you sign somebody to the practice squad it's really not much risk at all uh there's a little bit of course but I mean you can activate them for a game uh you can activate them for two games and if it works great if it doesn't work okay then you would just remove them from the practice squad uh you have options um so it's not like they're signing him to some big huge contract it's not like they're like oh allocate an artist uh cap room salary cap space to Andy Isabella no this is a low risk type of move super low risk um I'm not sure what happened with him in Arizona I mean maybe with what we were talking about before with that their plethora of receivers and then again adding Hollywood Brown to the mix this off season uh it just continued to have Andy Isabella fall uh out of favor um his career so far uh it has been um it's been underwhelming uh because you look at his career numbers uh he came out in what 2019 so 2019 yeah um and his career numbers so it's 2019 2020 2021 and this season a little tiny bit but it still counts towards it uh 39 games 33 catches for 447 yards and three touchdowns so he just never got it going Ned never got it going uh with the Cardinals and it's tough because you get drafted to a team and especially in the second round that's that's pretty high uh you get drafted to a team and and you're going there thinking like all right we're gonna make this thing happen they drafted me this high hey this thing has got to work uh but that just gives you a nice reminder with the uh the draft you just never know you never know how things are gonna go you never know how things are gonna work themselves out you just really never know um but Ravens with Andy Isabella what can he provide to this team well uh he does provide that element of speed like that that real speed um because he I think he ran like a four two four three I think a four three um but he's fast and and he he got like the the 40 time speed but he also got the uh the football speed to the game speed because there is a big difference because we've seen some people oh man let's do he run a four three and four four oh let's go but then you see him on the football field it's like hold up where where that where where that speed go it it ain't correlated um but with Andy Isabella it it certainly does now my guy Edgar who's a uh Cardinals fan um he let me know as soon as uh he heard about the signing he said I see you Ravens they got Andy Isabella cool cool um he talked about reminded me of that speed and whatnot uh but he said sometimes he'll uh he'll struggle catching the ball so I was like okay okay well welcome to the Ravens buddy you'll fit right in but nah I just really hope that um that doesn't end up being the case uh because Ravens they they can't afford that they they cannot afford if if it is true I don't know if it is or it's not but if it is true Ravens simply cannot afford that because um the wide receivers for the Baltimore Ravens uh they're still the passing game is has been going a lot better well at least in the first half in the first like two and a half quarters then in the late third quarter fourth quarter the offense just they fall asleep but anyway that's a whole another conversation but the passing game overall it has been a lot better but the opportunities to the wide receivers have still been limited and it still continues to be one of those things where it's like I uh everything gets highlighted that much more and what I mean when I say that since the opportunities to the wide receivers have still been limited it's like hey what you do it counts 50 times more than on a I guess a more normal offense or whatnot like if you make a big play if you make a catch hey amazing let's go if you have a drop it hurts more than it would normally hurt in other offenses because again the the the the pass the passes to the receivers have been limited so now again a lot of times when they do catch it they make the most of it but yeah anyway so with Isabella um he's he's gonna have to catch the ball that's it gonna have to catch the ball he has the athletic ability again got the speed got some nice agility to when he does get an opportunity he could be a yak guy um but it's a matter of getting him the opportunity uh I wonder if he had any other options I wonder if he had any other options be and the reason I say that is because for him to choose the Baltimore Ravens practice squad for him to choose them that that's a that's a long road to that's a that's a tall ladder to climb um because with the Ravens the Ravens receivers on the active roster like it's only like two of them that get used that Rashal Bateman and Devin Duvenay and then you got two more sitting there too you got a James Pro Shae who's been in you got a Tylenwall you got the Marcus Robinson too you be getting used a little bit too um early on in the season he was more but uh for the past couple games been pretty quiet um but so you the top two receivers they get used the third one the Marcus Robinson uh so so but James Pro Shae not at all Tylenwallis not at all uh Tylenwallis has had one catch go his way this year uh James Pro Shae has had none um and he just really hasn't had much playing time either both of the two um so for you to be willing to go to the Ravens on the Ravens practice squad that's why I wonder if he had any other opportunities because one would have to think and one would have to look at the Ravens like huh am I really gonna get a shot there am I really gonna get an opportunity there and who knows what they may have told him uh with the signing when they uh all when they reached out to him and his people uh to offer him uh this deal so or he could also be looking at it like all right well uh Rashad Bateman he could end up being out for who knows how long um so when one receivers out everybody else on the depth chart they get moved up that much more but the Ravens also they signed Raleigh Webb uh to the practice squad another wide receiver so we'll see we'll see um with him signing uh I don't know I wouldn't I wouldn't expect anything this week earliest I would expect anything we'll really be next week I mean anything's possible but it's so late uh it's Thursday um the signing should become official uh between today and tomorrow um but I wouldn't expect him to suit up this week for the Ravens I think it's just it's too early um yeah it's too early like if he was gonna be like a pump return a kick return okay I could see that but as far as a receiver now I think the earliest will be next week against the Giants so anyway we'll see how it goes hoping for the best hope that this can be a revival sort of resurrection for his career um since like we saw the numbers it's it's been underwhelming so far um but hopefully things can turn around so team keeping clean I love y'all I appreciate y'all shout out to Andy Isabella um and hopefully he can catch on with the Ravens get it I had to throw a little dad joke in there all right we out
