 Somebody on Twitter named Ali cover three shared a tweet a few days ago that I thought was very very interesting. It says the loyalty shown by X Ravens towards that organization is admirable and and borderline cultish. According to Bart Scott, Tarell Suggs admitted he'd steal 7 million dollars from Arizona to avoid costing the Ravens. Also, Eric Guero wouldn't share tips with Rams teammates while facing the Ravens. So what he was saying is that players that have played in Baltimore, especially for multiple years, they have this almost this loyalty towards the team and it's almost such a crazy type of loyalty toward the team to where things that would normally be done towards that team, especially if you're an X player now, they're not done. And with Tarell Suggs specifically, there has been there has been a lot of a hoopla a lot of talk about why he left Baltimore. And he during the season, he had his comments that that definitely made it seem like he was not a big fan of Lamar Jackson in the way that way that his Superbowl winning QB Superbowl MVP QB like he mentioned during the season while Lamar Jackson was starting last year. He didn't like how he was benched. And that just I didn't like that. Y'all know I didn't like I was not a fan of when Tarell Suggs was doing that because I feel I felt that it created it was already enough division amongst Ravens fans themselves. But I felt like it created possible division inside the locker room because you have a leader that people are looking up to saying, oh, we got a Superbowl MVP quarterback on the bench. And while what he's saying what he said was true, he wasn't lying. But Lamar was the guy now. And for Tarell Suggs, he sort of spoke against the head coach's decision to run with the new guy. And I mean, if you've been around somewhere for a long time and you can relate yourselves, if you've been in a certain job for a long time, and you've been doing things for a certain way for so long, you're used to stuff for so long. And a lot of us, we hate change. We do not like change. We are not fans of change. So when something gets changed, especially out of the blue, out of the purple, then we may not like it. And that's everything that seemed like it was going on with Tarell Suggs seemed like he just did not like things that were going down. But for him leaving the Ravens, because it was said that he was off of the deal. He was off of the deal. But like we just read it, and we've heard that before too, that Tarell Suggs, he didn't want to seem like he was stealing from the Ravens. And there could have been multiple reasons why he ended up leaving could have been with the GM change. And also him having an opportunity to play back home. We all know he's from Arizona, he went to Arizona. And maybe he just wanted to be there because it's the end of his career. And like this said, what Bart Scott said, Tarell Suggs said he didn't want to steal from the Ravens. He might have felt like the Ravens were better off going in another direction. And we all heard the interview where he answered a lot of those questions, the interview that he did. I believe he did it with Skip Bayless, because you know those too. Oh boy, they got some history, man. They got some history. They got history. But now all that was obviously in the past isn't the recent past because it was just about a year ago. But now there's an opportunity. There may be an opportunity. We'll see what happens because there've been rumors swirling around, swirling around. But there's an opportunity and they could be an opportunity for the Ravens to sign one Tarell Suggs if they put in a claim for him. Now, just to get everybody caught up. If you've been sleeping under about 16 rocks over the weekend, on Friday came out that the Cardinals, they released Tarell Suggs. Now, it's funny that I had actually spoke with a few people months ago, months ago, about this scenario. They had brought it up to me. I didn't bring it up. They brought it up. They were saying, what do you think is the possibility that Tarell Suggs could come back to the Ravens? And this was before the trade deadline. And so, well, yeah, there he is. If he got traded, but I don't see them trading for him and I don't see the Cardinals trading there. And then after the trade deadline, he talked about it to himself. The only way that he'll be able to come back is if he got cut. And I was like, I don't see that happening. I don't see him getting cut, like, especially at the end of the season. And then the Ravens could sign him and he'd come on for the last. No, it could happen as possible, but I didn't think it was likely. Then boom, with literally two weeks and change left in the season, the Friday before they have a game, the Friday before they have a game on Sunday, the Cardinals cut Tarell Suggs. I still haven't heard why. I don't know. Maybe it could have just been one of those respect things like, Hey, you put in some work here for what is he 37 something like that? I forgot how old he is, but you put in some work here. You did your thing or whatnot. But we see, we see this look in your eyes, man. We see this look in your eyes. We know you can still help us, but you just seem like something's missing. And we know this is home for you. But you seem like you want to go home. Like you want to go home home. I don't know. But whatever it was, they cut them and get something that a lot of us needed to get cleared up. Because I was like, man, Tarell Suggs been playing for a long time, way more than four years. So he is definitely a vested veteran. Why would he need to go on the waiver wire? But I did see that after the after the trade deadline, anybody that gets cut, they got to pass through waivers after the trade deadline, something I read. I had never heard that before until Friday. So I was like, Okay, got it. So it is what it is. I still think that he should be a free agent, but I don't make the rules. But anyway, so if the Ravens want Tarell Suggs, they would have to put in a claim form and hope that 30 other NFL teams don't put in the claim form. And the reason I say 30 and not 31 is because the Cardinals cut them. Why would they put in a claim form if they just cut them? So we would have to hope that 30 other NFL teams don't put in a claim form. But there is a rumor going around as of a couple of hours ago that the Titans, they may put in a claim for Tarell Suggs. Now, before we talk about if the Ravens should or not, something that needs to be spoken about is other teams. Ravens are they're the number one team in the league right now. Public Enemy number one, all eyes on them. They have probably the biggest target on their back right now because these dudes have won 10 games in a row. These guys are 12 and two. 12 and two. That's crazy. It's just crazy. These guys have just been killing it. They've been taking care of business. They've been beating all the top teams. They've been just literally beating everybody that's coming their way. So why, if they are the top team right now and Tarell Suggs, a player that has been in Baltimore, his entire career, except for the past couple of months since he's been with the Cardinals, why if he is cut? Somebody that thrived in Baltimore was a leader in Baltimore, just status. Great Korean Baltimore. Why should they be allowed to get them? Why should teams let the rich get richer? I really do expect the team to claim him out of pettiness. I really do. And of course, the report did come out that said Tarell Suggs is thinking about if the team is in Baltimore, if the team that claims him is not the Ravens, then he's thinking about not even reporting to that team. So he's putting it out there like, hey, you want to claim me? You want to take that risk and wasting the roster spot on me? If you ain't the Ravens, then okay, go for it. You better not cut somebody because you're going to need that roster spot because if you cut somebody, especially somebody that you really need, you could possibly lose them because I'm not going to be taking up that roster spot. I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't need it. No. So that report, and I'm sure it was put out by Tarell Suggs camp, it could backfire. It could go one of two ways. It could either work to where it's like, teams are like, okay, we're not even going to waste our time. We want to put in a claim for him, but he's not going to show. Yeah, we're not even going to waste our time. Could go that way, or it could go, you know what? Those Ravens, nah, we tired of them. They done beat us already this season. They actually whooped us already this season. So you know what? No, we, this ain't gonna fly. Put in a claim for him. Yeah, he might not show up, but we'll have his rights. So as long as he don't go to the Ravens, we're good. So I really do think that that could end up being the case. I really do think that that may end up happening. But I mean, we'll know by the end of today. We'll know by the end of today. So it's been a question and I know we've gotten a lot of emails on it, questions from subscribers on it. And we are obviously not going to be able to get to all of those questions before the trade deadline. I mean, not the trade deadline before the, before 4pm today. And so we'll revisit those questions. And I mean, a lot of those questions will be answered in this video. But some of those questions, obviously, should the Ravens put in the claim for Terrell Suggs? Should the Raven sign at Terrell Suggs? Well, let's first talk about the money, the money aspect. Uh, Terrell Suggs, they would only owe him like, if they were to put in a claim for them, they would only be on the hook for like, I believe, like $353,000. Not to us regular people, that's a lot of money. But for an NFL salary cap, that is nothing. Nothing. Ravens have some cap space left over. They could easily fit Terrell Suggs in there, easily. No problem. No questions asked. It's easy. So the money, not an issue. Now, what about his gripe with Lamar? Now, when we talk about that, a lot of some people brought up that, hey, he also had a problem with, uh, with Flacco. When Flacco first came on, he wasn't the biggest fan of Flacco. Not that he had a problem. He wasn't the biggest fan of Flacco. My guy Madness, in one of the Ravens group chats that we in, my guy Madness, it was funny. He said, um, he said that if, if Terrell Suggs, if the Ravens do sign Terrell Suggs, then he should issue an apology to, he should issue an apology to Lamar Jackson. So I, that was funny man. Yeah. He said, if I were to cost, I'd make him give Lamar an apology before he came back. So anyway, see the pettiness is already flowing through, man. It's already, it's already flowing through y'all, man. Team keeping clean. Y'all be on some other stuff, man. Um, but anyway, Terrell Suggs, is he a need? That's been a very big question. Is Terrell Suggs even a need? Why should the Ravens get Terrell Suggs? Our password has been stepping up a lot recently. Why get a Terrell Suggs? Do the Ravens even really need him? Now, do I think the Ravens need him? No, I don't think the Ravens need him. I do not think he is essential to the Ravens completing their journey and doing what they need to do. Now, could the Ravens use him just because you don't need somebody doesn't mean that they wouldn't be an asset. Football wise, he would be a very good addition to the team and not even just for pass rush. I'm not even thinking pass rush with this, but for run support, helping to set the edge and defense on the run defense because if you look, especially the past couple of games, that has been the Ravens weak point. That has been where they have struggled the most, setting the edge. They have struggled there. And Terrell Suggs, he would be somebody that could help. Can he fix the problem? He may not be able to fix it. Maybe he can, maybe he can, but he could certainly help it. He could certainly help it. And then, of course, the pass rush too. And the pass rush has been stepping up. So he could help it step up even more. He could help guys could be fresher. And he could be fresher too. Because he can come into the situation, not even necessarily having to be the guy. Because for all those years, he had to be the guy. He had to be the guy. But now he comes in and our top pass rush is Matt Judon. Matt Judon has become the guy for the Ravens at pass Russia. So Terrell Suggs wouldn't even have to have that role. So that could definitely alleviate a lot of pressure off for him, help him stay relaxed, help him stay fresh, help him stay rested. So they could use him. And then this, the football IQ, the smarts. Terrell Suggs played on this team, what, for 15, 16 years, something like that. And he's been here for as long as Wink was a linebacker's coach. And he played in this system last year. He played in it last year. And last year, I'm sure it was a lot more complex because you had guys with so much experience on this Ravens defense. And you had guys with so much football smarts on this Ravens defense. And that's not a knock to the guys that are there now. But you had guys that had just had a lot more experience here on every level of the defense, like we've talked about extensively this season. Terrell Suggs on that defensive line, CJ Mosey, a linebacker in the secondary, you had an Eric Weddle. So you had that football, the football brains on every single level. Terrell Suggs could bring that back. Is he going to be calling the plays? No, he doesn't got to do that. Chuck Clark got that handled. But Terrell Suggs can bring his football IQ to this Ravens team. He done been there. He done seen everything. He done seen every type of play. He done been through every type of play. He done got beat by every type of play. And he done beat every type of play that he can as a pass rusher, as a linebacker, as an outside linebacker, as that hybrid guy, the outside linebacker, the linebacker DN. He done been through everything. So he got the experience. Then there's a little thing called leadership. And the Ravens clearly are not lacking in the leadership department, not at all. But if you got somebody that can come in and bring that to, that experience and leadership, I'd say it's a no brainer. It's a no brainer. Now I know there are a lot of Ravens fans that are sort of on the fence about this whole thing. I was before. And it took me some time during this weekend to really think about it. But after really thinking about it, I would say that I'm for it. I wouldn't mind Terrell Soles coming back. I would like if Terrell Soles came back. Now do the Ravens want him back? You almost feel like this is like a, this is like a story book. It's like this, this stuff, timing is everything like we always say. But stuff like this never happens. Never happened. When does stuff like this happen? This team that hasn't looked this strong in a very long time, they just got rid of some of their veteran players. They opted to go young. They went through some struggles early on, but they added a lot of pieces throughout the year and all those pieces have helped out in major ways. But one of the pieces that they let go in the off season, Oh, you've been here his entire career. And was a great player his entire career. But they let him go. They wanted to resign him now, but he turned him down. But now he, he got cut two weeks left in the season, or three games left in the season, two weeks in change. And he gets cut by his team. And he has an opportunity to come back, possible opportunity to come back. Stuff like this does. It just doesn't happen. Everything is lining up for these Ravens to go to the Super Bowl and win it. Everything is lining up. Everything. It just, it makes sense. Makes too much sense. And like I said, I believe the Ravens could get the job done with or without Tyrell Suggs. But with the Tyrell Suggs, that would make this team that much more special. If he was able to come back, if you don't get claimed by any other petty team, even though I feel like he's going to get claimed by another petty team, but we'll see. Again, I think that report was put out by his people. I think that was leaked by his people, by his camp. Say, Hey, let's, let's put it out there that, Hey, if it ain't the Ravens, we ain't showing up. So don't even waste your time. Don't waste it. Cause those 53 roster spots are very valuable, especially this time of the year, especially because playoffs is around the corner. Teams is trying to go into the, it's, it's 12 playoff teams, six AFC, 16 FC teams is trying to go into these playoffs. Some serious and maybe the, maybe the Cardinals cut them out of respect. Like we talked about earlier, maybe they were like, look, this is not where you want to end your career, but you can see it. We respect you coming here. Thank you for what you've done for us. But this ain't where you want to end your career, is it? Just out of respect for you, out of respect for everything that you've done in, in all your years playing football, we're going to, we can't, obviously can't trade you, but we're going to give you an opportunity to become a free agent possibly. So we'll see. But yeah. So I think, I think it should, I just think it should happen. If he does clear the waiver wire, or if he makes it all the way down to that, that, that last claim, the team that has the last claim to put in, they are at the very bottom of the list. If he makes it all the way down there to the Ravens, I think they should pull the trigger. I do. Now, one really good question that we got, and it came from, let me see. It came from my guy, uh, Joe Salito's world. Joe Salito's world, he said, looks like Terrell Suggs wants to do a Ray Lewis type of ending. I say, yeah, that's true. He wants that one last ride. Should the Ravens give it to him? I think so. But anyway, he said, do you think that Ferguson, his potential could be unlocked with Suggs guidance? Now, that is the optimistic way to look at this thing, because you could look at it, and not even that it would be pessimistic to look at it in a different way, but listen to this. It's all, it's all how you word things. Because if the Ravens do sign a Terrell Suggs, if they are able to claim him and sign him or whatever, then he could take away snaps from somebody. He'd definitely take away snaps from somebody, or you could say he could share snaps with somebody. Either way, when you're being straight up, he's taking away somebody's snaps. Who's that somebody gonna be, though? Now, it would most likely be Jalen Ferguson. And some may say, man, Jalen Ferguson, if it weren't for all the playing time that he had been getting, then he wouldn't even be looking as good as he's been looking recently. And that is true. Then some may say, but man, if he takes away snaps from Ferguson, that could stunt his growth. And it could maybe, but when you look at the long term and think about it, Terrell Suggs may be able to give Jalen Ferguson pointers that maybe nobody else on this Ravens team could. Because Jalen Ferguson has been playing a Terrell Suggs role. He has been the Ravens Terrell Suggs, not saying he's been on Terrell Suggs level, but he's been playing in his position. So with that being said, what better person to learn from, especially if they just come in here for the rest of this year, you can get your snaps back next year. But this is a very special opportunity right here. You're on a very special team. And if you're a rookie and you got somebody, you're at the very beginning of your career, you got somebody at the very end of their career, possibly coming in to teach you, that could teach you, that could mentor you temporarily, that could show you the ropes for a little bit. Yeah, your snaps are going to go down. But your intelligence can only go up. It can only go up. Your knowledge of the game, it can only go up. Only. You'll have an entire career to get all the experience you want. And not that you won't continue getting experience, because you will. Because they're not going to take away all your snaps. They're not going to keep Jalen Ferguson. They're not going to have him inactive if they were to get a Terrell Suggs. But it snaps will certainly go down. But again, the knowledge can go up. The skill can go up. So I think it would be worth it. And it could be a temporary letdown form, because that'd be frustrating. Somebody call it, you've been doing your job. You started off slow. But you've been looking so much better recently than all of a sudden this guy, not a new guy, but an old guy who is now a new guy. Because he used to be here for a long time before you. But by the time you got here, he was already gone to his new company. But his new company, they let him go. And his old company, they want to bring him back. And they always wanted to keep him. But he wanted to try out the new company. But you've been here. You've been doing your thing. You're the new guy on a block. But now he comes along. And he could possibly steal your shine. So it all depends on how you look at it, man. So for the good of the team in the short and the long term, because in the short term, yeah, you having the Terrell Suggs, boom, that's a boost. That's a big boost. But then in the long term with Jaylen Ferguson, what he could possibly learn from the Terrell Suggs, that could be a big boost. And the fact that we've seen this guy grow throughout this season and grow a lot throughout this season. Yeah, I'm for it. I'm all for it. So we'll see what happens then. We'll see what happens today. We will know by four o'clock p.m. and I will talk to you guys a little bit after then. So I love y'all. Appreciate y'all. If anybody that asks any questions from subscribers about this, we'll touch on that later. But we'll see how things go. Hopefully nobody's petty with this. But we'll see. Anyway, just like with Terrell Suggs, with the Cardinals, I'm out.
