 Like we always talk about, we'll never get tired of hearing good or even great news. In fact, this is our mission to tell people about it. But in this case, with the Baltimore Ravens, today was a day of great news. And with this, I want you to hold on to this cherished shit, hug it, squeeze it tight, because this will be one of the few times all throughout the remainder of this season that you'll ever hear a practice report like this. Because it was said that practicing today was everybody practice. Every single body practice except Travis Jones. So everybody, anybody who you thinking of, anybody who you not thinking of, everybody, the whole team except Travis Jones who still expected to be out for a couple more weeks, everybody was there. And that means unlike last year, polar opposite of last year, going in a week one last year, that means that the Ravens have a predominantly healthy team heading into the season. And I know all of us remember just how 2021 went. It was just week after literally every single week, somebody was going down with injury and that was before the season even started. That was before preseason even started. It was always somebody hurt, but going into a week one this year, the Ravens are starting off right. Now, John Hardball, he did shy away from it a little bit. He ain't wanna really give too much credit or praise or whatnot to the way that they've been doing stuff this year. But I will, you don't wanna do it, Hardball, I will. Hey, great job, because this is a good start. This is a good start. They did talk about this offseason, how they were gonna turn over every single stone or rock or whatever John Hardball said some months back. And they apparently have done it and they have not been rushing guys either. That has been the biggest thing. They haven't been rushing people. And I mean, had the perfect segue to somebody who definitely wasn't rushing to return back to the practice field after being activated off the pup list and that is Ronnie Stanley. Because last week when Ronnie Stanley got activated off the pup, it was like, all right, let's go Ronnie Stanley's back. But then practice rolled around, no sign of Ronnie Stanley. And it was like, all right, okay, cool. Yeah, it's the first day. All right, it's all good. That's fine, no worries. Okay, so he'll be back maybe tomorrow or something like that. They wanna ease him in. Second day rolled around, no Ronnie Stanley. And at least these were to the portions of practice that are open to the media. There was no Ronnie Stanley. Everybody else was showing up, but Ronnie Stanley was like, oh, no, okay, okay. No Ronnie Stanley, okay, okay. So then another day and another no Ronnie Stanley. But then today, I guess Ronnie Stanley was like, you know what, today's the day I'm coming back. And Harbaugh was even asked about it last week. He was like, hey, what's up with Ronnie Stanley? And he was like, oh yeah, those guys, they gotta plan in place for Ronnie Stanley. He'll be back when he's ready to be back. And he's back. So welcome back Ronnie Stanley. Now as far as expectations for Ronnie Stanley for week one, I really wouldn't expect him to play week one. If he does, great. If he doesn't, okay, that's fine. No worries. Well, Ronnie Stanley, Ravens need him for the long haul. They need him for the long part of the season. And really, I mean, they got a tough schedule. Ravens have a very, very, very tough schedule. It is a fourth place schedule, but it ain't no cakewalk in my opinion. They got some tough games on that list. But with that being said, again, Ronnie Stanley is so important to this team, especially because the sort of quote unquote contingency plans that they put in place for Ronnie Stanley aren't Ronnie Stanley. So we'll see what happens there. Again, I'm not expecting him to play week one. I'm more so expecting him for week two against the Dolphins. The home opener, Ronnie Stanley coming back for the first time in forever. Hey, what a beautiful way to come back. But again, if he plays this week against the Jets, cool, but I'm not expecting him to at all. So I mean, we'll see, we'll see. Again, as long as they easing him back in, cause it's been a long time since Ronnie Stanley played some football, especially consistently. It's been a long time. The last time he was playing football, like consistently like week after week was back before that, the TJ Watt injury before then. And what week was that? And I don't even remember what week that was in. But anyway, glad that he is officially back. Like last week he was officially back, but he hadn't practiced. But now he's practicing. Great job. Now on another note, something that's kind of bittersweet. I remember when the Ravens this offseason, they signed a lot of undrafted rookie free agents. Not one of them ended up making the team. And I remember me, I told you all I said, Shamar Bridges was a lock to make the roster, especially after that first pre-season game. But then the last two pre-season games, he was quiet, wasn't really getting much action thrown his way. Then he got the injury and whatnot. And then when the Ravens were doing their whole roster thing, they had put him on the wave injured list. So what that means was that he was being waved. So if nobody, but he was being, when you're waved, people have the opportunity to put in a claim for you. But if nobody claimed him, then he would just go back to the Ravens and be on Endreserve out for the year. But what the Ravens did today is they released Shamar Bridges with an injury settlement. So that's a good thing for him. For the Ravens, I guess it's pretty neutral, but that's a great thing for him because what that means is once he gets healthy, he can sign with another team this year. He doesn't have to be out the whole year anymore. And that's how it is with anybody who's on Endreserve, who gets waved injured. That's how it is. Anybody who's on Endreserve before the season starts. Say for instance, who did they put on I.R. before the season started? I forgot who else they put on there, but when somebody's season is over, before they make the initial 53, when they put him on I.R., for that person to be eligible to play this year, they have to be released and they get released with an injury settlement. So then they have an opportunity. Once they get healthy, they can play again. I'm not sure exactly what the timeframe is though, but anyway, so Shamar Bridges, I'm happy for him because hopefully, once, I know he said he was having surgery like last week, but hopefully once everything is cleared up and he's good to go, then somebody could hopefully give him a shot. So his dream of playing, continuing to play in the NFL, it can keep on happening. Oh, cause y'all know me, I was rooting for Shamar Bridges, heavy and then found out that he was a Florida Raven too, I said, oh yeah, let's go baby. Cause y'all know I'm biased with the Florida Raven. But anyway, another thing, Justin Houston, they, the Ravens had a presser today that featured John Harbaugh. And I mean, he didn't really, he didn't really say much. I mean, the presser was just, I feel like it was just a presser, just to have a presser today. I wasn't really any new information there. Harbaugh said that he wasn't aware of any new updates with the contract talks, even though you know Harbaugh, he is aware of everything that's going on with them contract talks, but let's say, okay, cool, Harbaugh, we weren't expecting any answers anyway on that. We was expecting questions, but not any answers. But it featured John Harbaugh, featured Morgan Moulton, and it also featured Justin Houston, who is currently like one of two Ravens outside linebackers that's actually healthy. Cause David Ajaubo, of course, he's on injuries or so he has to miss at least first four games. Tyus Bowser, he's on the pup list. So he has to miss at least the first four games. So yeah, so Ravens, they don't have any options there. So Justin Houston and Dodd-Fairway, they waved, they waved Daelyn Hayes, they did a wave injury with him too. So yeah, it's pretty thin there. But Justin Houston talked about it, he said, hey, if I gotta be out there every single snap, every single down, so be it, so be it. And then he also talked about, he said, hey, we went in that Superbowl this year. He said, he was gonna speak it into existence. Hey, okay, Justin Houston, I hope that you end up being right. I hope that come February, Ravens can win. We can all look back at this clip from the presser today on September, September 5th. And we like, boy, that boy Justin Houston, he called it, he called it and he got it right. But anyway, since the Ravens also thin at outside linebacker, they brought in Kyle Fackerel for a tryout. So we'll see what happens with that. I mean, it's expected that the Ravens are gonna sign somebody, who that ends up being, we don't know, but they're gonna sign somebody and sign somebody probably rather quickly. Because again, the game is right around the corner. Week one is like, we are six days away. Yeah, because today's Monday. We six days away from Ravens week one game. We three days away from NFL week one officially starting with the Rams and the Bills. That game should be really fun. I was watching that FSU versus LSU game last night and that thing was crazy, man. It was slow, it was slow for the most part for the majority, it was slow, slow pace, everything going in slow motion. Then all of a sudden it just all picking up and it got crazy, it was wild. I really enjoy watching both of those quarterbacks play though. I love watching both of them play because they had the arms, but then they had the mobility too. And when stuff was breaking down, especially the one on LSU. I don't know any of their names, so y'all know I don't follow college football like that. But especially the one on LSU, like that boy was moving, he was moving. And then he had that clutch factor too. What that was, 99 yard touchdown drive that they got. But anyway, that was nice to see. But that game was just, it was wild, but it gave me a nice reminder that NFL season is right around the corner too. And I had a lot of fun watching that LSU versus FSU game, but I will be so much more invested when it's the Bills and the Rams playing on Thursday night. And then of course on Sunday, we'll be 20,000, 50 million more times invested when it's the Ravens playing when they take on the New York Jets at one o'clock. So we're gearing up for a fun week. We got, I'm gonna be working with a lot of people this week. So you will see some people on this channel. You will see us on other people's channels working with them. So this is a very busy week. It has, just thinking about it, sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, little overwhelming. That's why you always gotta make sure we take breaks, take breathes, take time off, take time away and all that. But it should be a lot of fun. So y'all look out for that. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all so much. Yeah, and that's it. I will see y'all tomorrow. We out.
