 I keep trying to tell people man. EDC got y'all But people don't want to hear me. They don't want to listen. They'll just ain't sleeping all EDC taking today off All EDC got PTO. No, let that man do his thing. It's coming man. It's happening. It's on the way He just chill. I know we as Ravens fans. We are so Impatient we want everything to be handled in the first two and a half days of free agency We want the whole team the whole roster the whole depth chart all sorted out in the first two days of free It takes time man, and we know this we know this Like y'all know man that been tell I've been super frustrated with the way that Ravens be doing things But again told you after last year EDC you're in my trust man. He earned it That's why he ain't been tripping out this year, man. He been tripping out over nothing man I know they got it man. EDC be reading y'all comments. I'm telling you I know he does he be reading y'all comments He'd be looking at him like Look what that guy said about oh look what she's oh look what they say. Oh watch this watch this and Obviously not saying that this move is the end all be all to the offensive line because it's not but this is a start Before you into it team keep it clean make sure you subscribe to the channel turn notifications on and run them Baby Let's go So Eric Acosta and the Baltimore Ravens announced out of nowhere. We didn't hear about no visits I mean, I ain't here about no visits. I didn't even know that he was in a building Then all of a sudden we see a picture we see a picture of Josh Jones sign the contract taking a picture at Orange Meals When did he even get there like see this is how we know EDC be working when we don't even think or know that he be working Anyway, so the Baltimore Ravens announced that they have signed veteran tackle Josh Jones Who is Josh Jones? What is it about Josh Jones? Well, Jeff's ribbon gave us a quick breakdown and I'm gonna give you what I heard About him to he said a Jones a third round pick by Arizona in 2020 has started 24 games over the past three seasons The 26 year old was with the Texans last year Don't think this will impact the team's draft plans along with the offensive line or along the offensive line But it does add some depth and experience after Ravens lost Morgan Moses Kevin Sightler and John Simpson now what I read about him and see to like You look at 2020. That's the year he got drafted. He was a tackle. He played tackle that year 2021 he played right guard 2022. He played left tackle and then last year with the Houston Texans He played tackle. So he's played some left tackle. He's played some right tackle He's played some guard. So he's somebody that is flexible He can be used at different positions along the offensive line now One thing that I did read about him is that while he did play some right tackle before too for the Cardinals um He's he was more comfortable as a left tackle. That's what he played in college That's what he played with the car. He was more comfortable as a left tackle, but DJ Humphreys was their guy at left tackle. So they had him and he was straight. He was solid So then that's they they ended up trading him to trading Josh Jones to the Houston Texans Because again, they they didn't have any use for them then because they had their guy at left tackle already now The Baltimore Ravens have their guy at left tackle already. So Oh Yeah, they'll work it out though, but again depth depth Depth there have been countless amount of times when the Baltimore Ravens they have signed a player Whether early and free agency whether later, but a lot of times later They've signed a player and I've thought okay. Well that player is just gonna be here for depth purposes They're not gonna end up being a starter. I thought that about John Simpson last year I didn't I think that he was gonna end up being the Baltimore Ravens starter I remember when they signed John Simpson and I continued to say oh, I don't think they're starting left guard is even on the roster yet And boy was I wrong? Hey, he got the job. He earned it, huh? And I and now he cashed out cashed out with the New York Jets with it So with Josh Jones, you just hope that it's not necessarily a similar thing But you hope that he can have the potential to be a starter cuz he has starting experience He has plenty of starting experience like Jeff's reaping highlighted. He started 24 games over the past couple of years and That's what you want that that's what you need you you want people who have starting experience because You want somebody to be Essentially plug-and-play now something else that I did read about him that bodes well for the Baltimore Ravens If he does if he is gonna be a star Well, whether he's a star or not because as we've seen plenty of times the backups they play offensive line, too They get their playing time in two. So one thing that I did read about him though is that he can move He can move. He is an athletic Offensive lineman So that helps with pulling when you got a run from one side of the offensive line all the way to the other That helps with blocking Because obviously an offensive lineman, they are a wall. They're protective for the quarterback But if you got athletic offensive lineman because I know that has been something that's been brought up for a long time amongst Ravens fans and this a serious concern It's a very very good point is the the type of offensive line that the Baltimore Ravens have a lot of people talked About how the Baltimore Ravens their offensive line They are and have been built To run to run blocked. They've been a good run blocking offensive line But as far as past protection, it just hasn't been there. They haven't been really built for that So them getting more athletic on the offensive line This could help them a lot now Linda Flinda Now that boy athletic man that boy that boy strong that boy can move Hey, he can move some people can he and even Ronnie Stanley like when Ronnie Stanley is healthy Hey, that boy can move too. I ain't ever gonna forget Ronnie said, I know y'all know the play I'm talking about. I don't remember what game it was. I don't know y'all know the play I'm talking about Well Ronnie Stanley, maybe I think maybe Lamar took off or somebody was running down the sideline I want to say it was Lamar and you saw big 79 running like this charging down the sideline I said, okay, Ronnie. Let's go. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I know somebody will but um, yeah, man This is this is cool man. This is cool. And again, it goes to show that as a general manager Your job is literally never done ever your job is never done Because like we continue to say it when it comes to free agency free agency starts in the middle of March Yeah, that's when it starts but Free agency never ends. It never ends. It is never over. You never stop signing people through the offseason You never stop signing people during the season. You never stop signing people You can even sign people in the playoffs You were never done constructing your team because when you construct your team you go have even when you get you go to a 90-minute roster, then you got to cut it down to a 53-minute roster Then you got the practice squad then you got injuries that unfortunately happen You may have a suspension or two. You may have somebody requesting a trade You may have this player this grunt old this player wants a contract this player wants to deal this player wants to be Cut and release to go you go somewhere. You always got something that you got to deal with always So life as a GM. Oh, I Know them checks be nice. Oh, I know the checks are nice. Oh, I know the checks are nice, but That's a tough job my friends That's a tough tough tough tough job So shout out to Eric the cost of man Eric the cost. I got your back. You know that already because again look He don't prove it lad last year was enough for me because last year Eric the Costa he built a team that was good enough to win the Super Bowl that team was great enough to win the Super Bowl They should have won the Super Bowl anyway He did he did what he had to do on his end He did everything he had to do and more on his end to give the Ravens a team that was good was good enough to win the Super Bowl So that's why he has my trust. I trust Eric the Costa. I really do and I'm I'm gonna continue to defend him now if he do some like some silly then I'm let you know I'm saying that 80s me. That's a that's a little silly. I don't know about that one, but So far there ain't been no silly stuff And I know that um With the offensive line, I know a lot of people have been questioning like what's going on with it What's what's Eric the cost is gonna do? What's gonna happen? What how is he gonna address it and I get that because it is a major concern like we've continued to talk about It really is because you want to know how Eric the cost is going to put these guys in place to protect Lamar Jackson How who's it gonna be? All right, Ronnie Stanley is gonna be at the left tackle Tyler Linda bombs gonna be a center Who's gonna be a left guard? He's gonna be a right guard. Who's gonna be a right tackle? Who's it going to be? And we talked about the possibilities in the prospects of Andrew Voorhees We talked about the possibilities in the prospects of daniel filele We've talked about the possibilities in the prospects of ben cleveland and those are options But now you add josh jones to the mix. All right cool There is still more to be added to the mix There's still more bodies that are gonna be there. There's gonna be draft picks It's gonna be more free agents. It's going to be more people on the added to that offensive line I personally do not think the offensive line is set I know you personally don't think the offensive line is set And I really don't think Eric the costa thinks the offensive line is set. Why? Because it's not set We just free agency been here for a little over a week Because remember it officially started on Wednesday a legal tampering period But anyway, it officially started Wednesday. This is Thursday the next week that so we and we one week into free agency literally one week And people been tripping out like crazy What why why are you driving yourself crazy one week in a free agency? Like the Ross is supposed to be done by now. No, it's not it's not But again, this is a start You like think about this because I know I know people been going crazy about the offensive line and I get it I get it because it's not only about Lamar Jackson. Think about this. Why would the Baltimore think about it? Why would the Baltimore Ravens? Pay Lamar Jackson all that money, but then get this in the very next year Why would they pay Derek Henry all that money and then be like, you know what offensive line? We ain't worried about that. Let's let's have a garbage offensive line Let's get rid of everybody and we're not going to retool. We're not going to reload. We're not going to restock. Wow. Think about that Why would they do that? You got Lamar Jackson signed to a bunch of money. You don't want that investment to go to waste You got Derek Henry signed to some significant money. You don't want that investment to go to what? So of course they're going to fix the offensive line of course We just got to wait it out. That's it. We just got to wait it out So let's see how this goes and let's see what other under the radar signings EDC got for us We know the visit like everybody was so focused on the visit with Michael Gallup today It's okay. What's gonna go happen with Michael Gallup? Well, I was reading the comment sections. I was just like 14 keep it clean boy. Y'all boy. I don't hold back. I appreciate it though Y'all don't hold back and let everybody know how y'all feel about whatever. I love it though I love it because y'all do it with respect. I appreciate that Then some people like, all right, Michael Gallup will be cool. Then some people like, oh, no, I don't want no Michael Gallup So I get it man, but um EDC is working Baltimore Ravens are working Now let's just see how stuff works out
