 if we put together every player who is part of this almost Ravens team, they'd be undefeatable. Nobody would be able to stop them at all. They would never lose a game. We will literally win the Super Bowl every single year. But anyway, Jack Settlement and Marlon Humphrey. Of course, they do the punchline podcast and special shout out to Jack Settlement. We will be part of his punchline podcast hell gate party coming up for the Ravens and Bengals Thursday night football game looking forward to being back in the bank. I ain't been there in a very, very long time, but looking forward to it should be a lot of fun. I know it's going to be cold, so I've got to get ready for that. But anyway, if you want to be part of that tailgate, the link down below it will be in the description. You can use code engraving to get $5 off of your tickets. But anyway, Jack Settlement was talking to Marlon Humphrey on this week's episode of the punchline podcast and Marlon Humphrey, he confirmed a rumor that we had heard a couple different times. We heard some different angles of it and whatnot. But the rumor was that Derek Henry was almost a Raven and when people heard that, I know it broke a lot of hearts. I know it caused a lot of pain to people. But Marlon Humphrey, he confirmed that that was true. You know what? Let's listen to what Marlon Humphrey and Jack Settlement had to say. Before we get to the game on Sunday, the last time we recorded was before the trade deadline. Trade that last pass Ravens make no moves. What did you hear though? Guys, I'm not going to lie. I'm just going to be completely honest with you. I'm just going to be completely honest with you. I'm being completely honest with you. And being that it didn't happen, it doesn't really matter. I was sitting here minding my business. Hey, I was minding my business. Like I was doing no wrong. I got a text. Somebody was going to be suiting up in purple and they ran the football. I got a text and somebody was going to walk into Baltimore, Maryland. It was about a height of probably about six four. I got a text that there was a very high chance that a guy that usually goes by King was going to be in purple and black and M&T bank stadium very soon. You think LeBron would be a good tie down? Hey, LeBron was, hey, LeBron was coming to the Ravens. No, seriously, I was about 85% that King Cameron will be suiting up for the Ravens. It did not happen. My source was incorrect. My source was incorrect. But he had me thinking it was a done data. He had me thinking it was basically a done deal. The text you got, but did you ever reach out to your good friend? Old compatriot. I did. You did. I did. I did. And he didn't give me any details. So he didn't give me any details. I was a little disappointed in that, but I should have would have could have. But anyway, do we need another running back? No, sir. Other than that, back to trade. Other than that, I didn't, the chase young did surprise me. Mm hmm. That was also a possible Raven. Do you hear any sources on that? Oh, no, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't hear about him coming out. Shoot. Do we even need another pass rush? Hey, we're looking all right. I think Montez wet. Who else was another surprise? Josh Jobs got trade. We'll talk about him later. No, man. I that was that was I had one source. 85% sure the king was coming to Baltimore. Wow. But uh, don't need him. Hey, we got who we got. We don't need him. So there we go. Yet again, another one bites the dust. Derek Henry, my husband say he was 85% sure Derek Henry was going to be a Baltimore Raven got the text from his guy saying, Oh, yeah, it's going down. It's happening. Then for whatever reason, again, we heard from Cole that the Titans ownership, they vetoed the trade. But then there was somebody in Titans media said, no, that wasn't true. But whatever happened at the bottom line is that it didn't happen. It did not go down. But something that they said, Marlon Humphrey said at the very end of just everything that he was talking about with how Derek Henry was almost with the Baltimore Ravens. He said, do we even need him though? We don't need to run him back because look, and this was of course, after Keaton Mitchell did what he did after Gus Edwards have been doing what he's been doing. And even what Justice Hill has been doing a lot of times too. I call Justice Hill scissors because he makes so many cuts. And then once him and Lamar Jackson, once they work out that whole mesh point thing, then we'll be in some great shape. But anyway, it did obviously work out for the Baltimore Ravens with them not ending up trading for running back. And with Keaton Mitchell, I'm super excited about him, especially because he is that home run hitter. I know my guy a sudden death from a purple rain podcast. He has continued to bring this up that the Ravens really need a home run hitter at running back. Oh, trust me, they got one. But with Keaton Mitchell, the most dangerous part about him is that while he's a speedback, he'd be breaking tackles too. Because if you watch the runs that he got, especially the big ones that he got, he was always breaking off for somebody. So that makes him that much more dangerous. But anyway, it did work out for him the most of all. And I said this before that I feel like there was some Ravens that were very happy that they didn't make a trade for anybody at the deadline. And those Ravens were Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, then of course, Keaton Mitchell, because I feel like he would have still got his had they traded for Derek Henry. Justice Hill even would have got his, it would have been a little bit less, but he would have still got some burn if they traded for Derek Henry. But Keaton Mitchell, he would not have gotten anything because the carries would have went to Gus Edwards. And the guy that they just gave up some draft picks to trade for. And then of course, Justice Hill as well. I don't feel like Keaton Mitchell would have been part of the mix. But anyway, it does not stop there because this almost Ravens team, while they, they almost got a Derek Henry, apparently Derek Henry wasn't the only guy that they called around about because Jeff's Rebit, he did tell us about how the Ravens, they called the Washington Commanders about Chase Young. And they, they had something in place with that too. But they, he said they just couldn't do enough to get it over the hump. It didn't do enough to get it through. So Chase Young was another one, but it doesn't stop there. It does not stop there because the Baltimore Ravens were also one of multiple teams that called about Panthers past Russia, Brian Burns. You know, you know what's crazy? Some people think that the Baltimore Ravens don't be listening to stuff like this, whether it be videos like this or other people videos or whatnot. They don't be, they don't be having their ears to the streets or whatnot, but they do. They do because literally everybody, everybody who Ravens fans suggest, well, minus the Neil Hunter, well, who knows? Maybe the Ravens called on him too. But everybody that the Baltimore Ravens fans suggested they should trade for, or maybe not everybody, because you know, we'd be asking for everybody and everything, but a lot of people that the Baltimore Ravens fans suggested that they trade for, they called in on them. And apparently they tried to, because they tried to trade for Derek Henry. They tried to make it happen and almost made it happen. They tried to trade for Chase Young, but again, I guess whatever compensation they were willing to give up, the Washington Commanders like, oh no, no thanks. Or maybe the Ravens were like, you know what, we're not willing to give up X because we only want to give up Y. And the Commanders were like, you know what, we want XYZ. Who knows what happened to where it didn't get pushed through. But then yeah, with Brian Burns too, they called in on him as well. And that obviously didn't go through as well. And we didn't hear anything about it almost going through, but Ravens did make an attempt. So I do like that. I do like that sort of aggressive approach. You know me, I wish it would have been a little more aggressive, so they could have gotten the deal done, especially at the pass rush position because again, I love how it was explained by somebody on Glenn Clark radio that the Ravens, if they got like a significant pass rusher, then they would be able to do less scheming of blitzing and they would just be able to get a pass rush with just sending four, sending four, sending five, what not. You could do less blitzing and whatnot. So that can make everybody's job easy, make Mike McDonald's job easier. And now of course, you're still going to blitz here and there now, but he will be able to do it less and have more people drop back, covering and whatnot. But again, you still do want to get pressure. You want to bring pressure from all sorts of ways and whatnot, but that would have been fun. But like we have continued to say, even though the Baltimore Ravens didn't trade for anybody, even though they didn't acquire anybody, even though they didn't bring anybody on, they are still a team that does have a legitimate shot to be Super Bowl contenders. They have everything that they need and more. And Martin Humphrey talked about it too. And I know he is a player that's on the team. So I mean, what are you really going to say? Are you going to say, oh man, we need this, we need that. I don't think he would say that, but he did mention how like, what do we even need? Like, we're good. We got a nice roster. And they actually do. That is true. Because they have strong depth at a lot of different positions. And again, they still got some guys that could be on the way back possibly with David, a job. Oh, I don't think it's looking good for him. Tyus Bowser. I honestly don't even think it's looking good for him, but we'll see. We still just do not know about those two. Marcus Williams. I think he'll probably practice this week. And I think he'll play in the game against the Browns this week. So Ravens is still, they're still getting a bit stronger. Morgan Moses, they didn't have him last week. I think he'll be back against the Browns this week too. This is just my opinion. I ain't hear nothing from nothing. Y'all know I'm an NFL outsider. No plugs, no sources, no none of that, no contacts, none of that. But those are just my opinions on guys that I think will come back this week. But should be fun. As always, you know how it is with the Baltimore Ravens, they keep us on our toes. But this is some information that I know it kind of hurts to know, kind of hurts to rehash. I know the trade deadline was last week, but it's just confirming everything that we figured was true, heard was true. But Marlon Humphrey just, yeah, just put the ice on the cake that this trade was real.
