I don't know it's still seven fold. I took today off. I took today off and it felt so good yesterday Knowing that one out didn't have to go in the work today and then two knowing that it's a Ravens game tonight So I'm happy about that. But anyway Appreciate that Calepi. Thank you. What's up Bruno? Oh Bruno. There he goes right there Bruno Goifman. So that's his question So yeah, man, so you came through at the perfect time But anyway his question like I said, oh and make sure y'all after you turn your notifications on once you subscribe You leave a like on a video like my guy Ryan Mallett says when you leave a like on a video It's completely free. What's up one? Um, so His question Bruno's question was I appreciate that Jermaine Bruno's question was what's this the ceiling or the floor for Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey? Well, great question great question So when the Ravens first drafted Marlon Humphrey A lot of people were confused a lot of people were upset some people were happy some people were like I didn't some people like myself or like I didn't see them picking a cornerback in the first round But I'm not opposed to it good pick because we always lack depth in the second area We would always lack quality depth in the second day and Jimmy Smith always hurt and We just have so many unknowns in the second day. So When they drafted him, I was like, okay, whatever and then in the preseason or not in a preseason in like OTAs and stuff. They were like, oh, yeah, the first round draft pick Marlon Humphrey. He looked pretty good Blah blah blah. I was like, I I don't really listen to all that OTA stuff Then in the preseason, I saw him. He was looking decent He made a nice hit and forced to fumble in the preseason. I forgot which team it was against But I said, hold up. Can this dude hit? Can he like actually tackle like that? but then the regular season started the regular season started and He didn't play too much of the first game But when he did play they were like John Hawbaugh was like, okay, he earned some more always against the Saints Okay, appreciate that liner He was like, oh, yeah, John Hawbaugh said that Marlon Humphrey earned some more snaps based on his play So then with with Jimmy Smith with Jimmy Smith being hurt him having trouble with his Achilles That that gave Marlon Humphrey opportunity for that gave him more opportunity for playing time So he would have to he would get thrown in the start lineup. So Once he got thrown in the start and lineup because they would they do and they do they alternate They'll take either Jimmy Smith out of that take Brandon Carl. So there'll be Jimmy Smith and Marlon Humphrey or Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Cough so When they did that I have been watching them I've been watching people throw his way and I'm like, okay, he had always been in Marlon Humphrey had always been in great positions He didn't he didn't wasn't getting any interceptions anything But he had always been in great positions to stop the play or to make the stop He'd always been right there around the ball. Now, he wasn't always getting a deflection I wasn't always it wasn't obviously wasn't getting any interceptions, but he had always been right there So he didn't look out of place the only time that I have seen him look out of place this year Has been was against the stillest when he covered Martavius Brian and that the size mismatch was just bad and Martavius Brian took advantage But that's the only only time that he that I saw him get just not even abused, but he yeah He's just getting beat. He just got beat besides that Marlon Humphrey has looked great He's been excellent. He has exceeded expectations He exceeded any expectations that I thought that he was gonna I thought he was I didn't know what to think about Because like I always tell you I don't watch college. So I don't know anything about these college guys And then with Ravens drafted a cornerback. I'm like, okay We'll see what he does because the last time he drafted a cornerback in the first round It was Jimmy Smith and that worked out pretty well besides his injury history But Jimmy Smith has been one of the best when he's healthy, but a lot of times he's not healthy. So Um after that What why Marlon Humphrey has been getting a lot of playing time He's been getting better and better and then the course last week He just got his first interception and I look forward to many more. So his ceiling is Through the roof, I think and that's I'm not even trying to over exaggerate and get anybody extra hyped or anything But that's how I feel his ceiling is through the roof because he's shown when he gets on the field that he can play He can play and he doesn't play like a rookie. He can play that guy can play And it's he plays great man He plays great. I love Marlon Humphrey playing and I remember before Like if you would have told me before like, uh-oh Ravens are gonna put Marlon Humphrey in the game and take out one of their starting corners I would have been like, I don't know but now when they do do it because they do it a lot to give Jimmy Smith a rest Because of his Achilles injury When they do it, I'm like, okay, that's fine. Marlon Humphrey's still gonna hold it down He'll still hold it down So he's trustworthy. That's the biggest thing. He's trustworthy. You can trust him because Like I said every game except for that Steelers game against Martavius Bryant. He even covered Antonio Brown It's like he did worse against Martavius Bryant than against Antonio Brown so Think it might have just been a seismic smash because I see him go against Crabtree He did great against Crabtree too with Crabtree with the Raiders game I thought that he was gonna get his first interception that game because they kept throwing it They kept throwing it but um and it's crazy. Yeah, we didn't even got to von young man It's no shot at to von young but Marlon Humphrey the cornerbacks this year and how great they played It kind of made me forget about to von young There'll be times throughout the season where I'll be doing a stream or something and talking about how great our Secondary has been playing and then somebody in the comment section. They'll be like, oh, and we even got to von young And I'm like, oh man, I completely forgot And I love to von young but the way that this secondary has been playing it had kind of made me forget about not in a Disrespectful way anything but just I know if if they had been playing bad. Oh, trust me To von young would have been on my mind all the time. He would have been on my mind all the time He was such a great slot cornerback and he was somebody that was always around the ball to von young was always around the ball always So yeah, we got Kennedy to Kennedy. He's been having the injury problems, but he's back right now So we'll see man. We'll see how he does the thing when young Humphrey and Smith are all healthy. They can be a no-fly Yeah, I think they will They will because if Jimmy Smith He can get healthy Brandon Carr has been great to Brandon Carr has been great great So Jimmy Smith is locked down Brandon cause been great Malin Humphrey been pretty good. So when we get to von young back Maurice Kennedy I haven't seen too much of him yet. So I can't really speak on him, but um They've been doing that thing man secondary been doing that thing What what usually would be a weak spot for us has been a strong part of the Ravens Yeah, one that's true But so even with that So like I said his his his ceiling through the roof through the roof He I feel like he is going to be a great player because he's already been a good player He shows that he can be a good player. So he's he's he's gonna do a stick web has been quiet web has been up and down Web has been very solid tackler web's tackling has improved so much over his career so much But web is also older. Yeah, I don't stand that age. You can't be age You cannot be father time web is older and there been some plays where web just been getting caught out of position He been caught out of position and I think it's it's not more so his it's not really his mental But it's more so his physical state. He can't he can't keep up with everybody He's he's a nice corner spent when he was young. Oh man web was great third-round draft pick out a nickel state He used to be a safety, but they turned to a corner and he played great at corner But he got older. That's why he moved to safety Yeah in the Steelers game in the Bears game at the end of when the on the Bears their final Drive that put them in field go range to win it. It was a third and like 11 or something We're most Most and for that play he wasn't even out of position. He just couldn't jump with the corner I mean with the receiver he couldn't do anything He just couldn't do anything and Mitch Trubinski put it at the perfect spot because web just couldn't get up there So he's older and I understand that when he's still a solid player, but he's older so We'll see man. We'll see and Marlon Humphrey. I will say his floor is through the roof his ceiling I Mean sorry his ceiling is through the roof the floor for Marlon Humphrey The only thing that I would be able to think of would be if he would be like Jimmy Smith and be injury prone But I don't want that to happen. I don't see that happening Because Jimmy Smith he showed us how injury prone he was from his rookie season Because he played in like the first game and then like end up missing like six games after that and they kind of had to Gradually put him in the lineup And then of course he saw what he did in the Super Bowl against Michael Crabtree, but um so he Jimmy Smith was somebody that showed us from the jump how he would be and hopefully this is Marlon Humphrey showing Us from the jump how he will be healthy great tackler great in coverage Maybe not get a lot of interceptions But and maybe another reason why he doesn't get a lot of insubstantial because he's not a starter too That's another thing Jimmy Smith. What Jimmy Smith got like three. I think Brandon Carr got like three. I think too But those guys are starter so they're in the lineup more So they have more opportunities to get more interceptions Marlon Humphrey is not in the starting lineup He gets put in there every now and then but he has less opportunities in those guys But he still played great. So maybe even more opportunities He gets then we'll see so I'm I'm excited about the secondary for the rest of the season and even going forward. It's gonna be interesting I really hope Brandon Carr's play continues Because I'm sure they will pick up his option in year two because he has a four-year deal and it's options in each year When and when you have an option deal means that the team that gave you the deal They can either release they can pick up your option and that picks up that that whatever the salary cap is I mean, whatever the cap it is for or they can release you without any problem without any cap It wouldn't without any dead money. So Brandon year's deal is a four-year deal and it's options in each year So if the Ravens ever want to release him after a year They could do that no problems and that's how they signed Jeremy Macklin. That's how they sound Mike Wallace, too So Ravens was getting getting a little smarter with that But they I like I like them doing that because that gives them if they just want to cut ties with a player It's like, okay, you're done. It's over and that's that So we'll see. Anyway, it's up Taliban appreciate y'all coming through me Real facts that don't understand why you guys don't make Humphrey a number two and throw a car in the slot Brandon cars not a slot corner back in Malah Humphrey is not a slot corner back. We don't into a slot corner back That's why both of them play on the outside And in the slot they put the Darius web that they put candy there to Von Young would have been there if he would be healthy, but That's why I was I was thinking too like, okay If we got Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carl who was gonna be our starters because I didn't think they were gonna start more than Humphrey I was thinking man, maybe they should put them on the Humphrey in the slot But they said that they didn't want to change his position He was an outside corner back so they wanted to leave him as an outside corner back I ain't mad at that and it's been working for him. It's been working for him So they do the little alter they they alternate and like I said, Jimmy Smith is dealing with an Achilles injury that he's been dealing with all year So they alternate they'll take Jimmy Smith out and put him on the Humphrey or take Brandon card I'm pulling put him on the Humphrey. So it's been working. So the I don't think they should fix. Oh, it's not broken But yeah, that's that's why they haven't done that.
