 LeBron breaking yet another record this time the scoring record and I think Adam Silver said it's been around for like 40 years Right, you saw Korean Korean was looking sick in the face, but he ain't wanna break that record man He really didn't it reminds me of like the 72 dolphins whenever a team like wins like eight nine games in a row That's when them 72 dolphins start attending every game and they like cheering for them to lose cuz they don't want that Record to be broken, but anyway team keeping clean mark Andrews Our own Pro Bowl Ravens Pro Bowl tight end he was featured on Pro football talk and I fell on NBC. He had an interview this week with Chris Sims and Mike Florio And he has some interesting things to say he says something that we've all been thinking in a lot of us have been saying For years about the Baltimore Ravens offense, but what's new, right? Even though Mark Andrews like he's somebody that he can't complain about Ravens offense man because he is The feature target the feature passing target in that offense and that's that offense got him paid That often made him a lot of money, man And he is allowed him to break several Ravens records and whatnot. So but shout out to Mark Andrews But anyway The interview started off with Mark getting his brand promo out the way And for his protein company that he's working with called Rockin protein and I was like, I ain't mad at you mark I get it more game juice said cut the check He getting his bread. So I love it But anyway, he said he was feeling good after the season as far as health wise But then they got right into it. They jumped like straight into it And I was like, I see him you getting started right away. I respect it He asked Mark if he was kind of surprised that everything happened with Greg Roman and acts where he sees this Ravens offense going Mark said that Greg was his tight end coach when he was a rookie and he said whatever Greg goes he's gonna be very well off and Again, you saw the success that Mark Andrews had from jump Mark Andrews came a long way man Gotta give it to Mark Andrews because there's some people when things happen to the starter that's in front of them And they are presented with an opportunity Not everybody makes it not everybody makes it happen Obviously Mark Andrews was a third-round pick in 2018 Hayden Hurst was one of the first round picks We know the other first round pick to we're gonna talk about him in a little bit But Hayden Hurst with the first pick in the Ravens draft that year and Mark Andrews was a third-rounder And Hayden Hurst was the starter and he started but then he got hurt Insert Mark Andrews and Mark Andrews never looked back never looked back. So shout out to him. But anyway He said that he doesn't know who the Ravens are gonna choose as far as an offensive coordinator But acknowledge that the Ravens are definitely doing their due diligence as they definitely have been because they've been having a lot of interviews Even though secret interviews that they want to tell nobody about but it's okay And Sims asks what Mark thinks Ravens offense needs like what's the next phase of the Baltimore Ravens offense? And Mark said that this is such a past happy league nowadays that if you're not doing it, then you're gonna fall behind He said also He said that had we've had that and whoever we choose Ravens are gonna be able to run the ball Yeah, well, trust me. We know Anybody said but we got to be able to pass the ball at a higher rate that's a dangerous team when we start doing that and I mean that's old news This is something that we've been talking about a lot of us have been talking about for years, man Ravens got to get with it. You got to get with it like Running the ball is great and you you should be able to run the ball You want to be able to run the ball, but this is a passing league and those are the teams, man Those are the teams that advance the furthest and you think about it Like Ravens have obviously mastered running the football. We know they can run the football. We get it We know it but They could just be so much more dangerous with a lethal passing game just to compliment the Run gaming and it would be great, man And we like we know Lamar can throw the football. That's old news. We've been on that for years So it's like what's what's the issue? What's the problem? I feel like the Ravens got to actually want to throw the ball like that That's why I remember last year at the beginning of the year Obviously JK out Gus out Justice Hill out all the running backs out. So they picked up the guys off the street. They picked up a I can't remember his name right now at the top of my head. Oh Devontae Freeman. There we go Pick up Devontae Freeman Latavius Murray Then eventually levy levy on bail to and that was alright, but Ravens they became a more past past heavy team and I liked it I liked it now. They did deal with injuries literally everywhere But they became a past heavy team and they showed you like hey We could really throw that football around. Hey, we could throw if we up we could throw if we're down We can come back they show and they showed it already But last year they showed it even more. So I'm thinking alright This year, we ain't got all the injuries. Oh, I mean you had a lot of injuries But we ain't got all the injuries that we had last year. So let's get it, baby Let's make it happen and it seemed like they started to a bit, but they just didn't put enough into it Because when one piece fell down, obviously Rashad baby when that went down That was it That was it. But anyway Florio asked what Mark made of the talk when people say veteran Y receivers don't want to be part of that offense He said it's been blamed on the Marj Jackson. It's been blamed on Greg Roman and Mark said I think we got to change that narrative I think Baltimore should be a spot where guys want to go and we're gonna make it that see I really like that answer too and I respected that answer because Mark didn't say well That's simply not true because we know it is true like Why receive don't want to go there. Why would they and why should they who don't want to go there Ravens ain't gonna pay them that much Money Ravens ain't gonna feature them today. I get too many passes. Why should they want to go there? Why receivers have continued to see receivers go to Baltimore in their careers die Some of their careers and never live in the first place, but why should receivers want to go there? So I love that mark. He didn't deny it. He didn't deny it. He just said oh, we got to change that narrative so anyway, um He was also asked by a Sims. He said tell people about Lamar's talent throwing the football He gets put in this box where he's just a running quarterback and Mark said he can sing the rock And he puts it where it needs to be some of the best footballs. He's caught in his life Have been from Lamar Jackson. Oh, yeah I could definitely see that Football that you caught it got you that bread. So yeah, I'm playing for saying that Then Florio acts how hard it was to play without Lamar down the stretch again this season Mark Andrew said it was tough Lamar's my guy not having one of your leaders is tough But look at Tyler Huntley. He was just in a pro bowl. Hey, I told you Once you got that pro bowl on your resume and you played in it. Can't nobody tell you nothing Can't nobody tell you nothing like no matter what happens from this point forward with Tyler Huntley's career He can say I'm a pro bowl QB And I even went off in a pro bowl to flag football gaming up a steal. Hey, he's a pro bowler Can't take it away from and he said he said Tyler Holly can sling the ball to he said we're very blessed with two great QB's. I See you Mark. I said, I just think different scenario We would have been better off. He slipped that little part in that lesson and obviously he meant that with Lamar Jackson It would have been a better game Obviously down the stretch and stuff too Sims asks what's the Lamar effect Tyler Huntley great respect for him But he's not Lamar Jackson tell us that extra element He brings on the field and what's his leadership style and Mark said whenever you have Lamar on the field The defense is always worried about eight He said that takes pressure off of you as an offensive player That takes pressure off of you when you have a talent like that on the field that makes your job easier and that is one of my biggest frustrations Because it's true what Mark Andrew said is true when you have somebody like Lamar That obviously guys are gonna be extra focused on him. What's he gonna do? So I have just been hoping like all right Ravens Add more talent. It just makes too much sense add more talent Mark Andrews phenomenal tight end But at the receiver position at let let let's add more let let let let's do more Let's let's be better because if the Ravens can add more if they can put more around the mob around Mark Andrews Everybody eats and like Mark Andrew said it will make your job easier and Was crazy. It's not even crazy. We've been saying that on here for years literal years Better talent would make their jobs easier Mark Andrews struggled a lot of times to see a lot of times this year. He was quiet silent You hear nothing from him because Ravens didn't have other guys like that to take the pressure off of him So defenses again another year where they could just be like, oh Mark Andrews take him out the game will be a okay Ravens got to do better man Florio said Lamar's contract how much do you pay attention to that and Mark said I don't really pay attention to any of that Anytime you're in a position like Lamar is his whole career. There's gonna be so much pressure Let Lamar be Lamar. No one knows how he feels. I know if he could have been out there Then he would have been and as far as this to stretch of the season And then Sims said does it take over conversations in the locker room? Because Chris Sims talked about how when he was on the Super Bowl Bucks team that um, there was some stuff going on with Keyshawn Johnson, he said they talked about in the locker room and Mark Andrews said it may Some guys may ask what's going on and Mark said it was tough not having him out there But we were also blessed with Tyler Huntley. So Mark Andrews Shout out to Mark Andrews PR people. They got him right because Sims and Florio, especially Florio They were trying to throw some bait. They were trying to get it They were trying to get some good sound bites and whatnot some good quotes Mark said no, I ain't going for it But then this part with Florio really tried to get him Florio said when Mark Andrews head hits the pillow at late at night when you're trying to fall asleep Do you consider I may not have Lamar Jackson as my quarterback next year has that entered your brain and Mark Andrews said No, I think he said no no I think Lamar and then Florio cut him off. He cut him off and said why hasn't it entered your brain? And Andrews said Lamar is a Raven for life And he said both parties want to get the deal done. It's just about doing it. That's it That's it. Nothing more nothing less. So again, they were they were trying to throw bait There's a lot a lot of times about this and they did they did a split You could tell a professional's man You could tell like they've been doing this for a long time, especially Mike Florio You could tell but Mark was in bite And then Florio asked him do you ever consider like is there something I can do to help and Mark said that I'll give up my paycheck if I have to but then Sims which I loved he said don't do that. There's enough money to go around And I said, ooh You speak in my language now. He said but shawty got enough money to take care y'all Then they asked him about the Super Bowl and Mark said he was leaning towards the Chiefs He said he'd room for his boy Orlando Brown, Jr. So shout out the OBJ. Hope you get his bread this offseason And he also said my home has a chip on his shoulder Then they asked him Who was the best team that they played all year? Mark's brought up the bingles in the bills He said the bingles they had our number a bit this year And he said that that's one game that he'll have circled next year They talked about they gave a little shout out to him for his effort on that that fumble at the goal line And they talked about how it's crazy. Just how one game I mean one play can change the outcome of a game They say yeah, and they they gave a shout out to him for his effort on it on the chase down in the floor Yo, it's like, oh, do you think do you think that should have been a penalty and then Mark was like, it could have been But it's just just just crazy man. That's it. He just minimized it He's like, ah, whatever and left it at that and then they asked him Who's the freakiest Titan in the league and they were like, oh, of course, I know I'm sure you're gonna say yourself and whatnot. They brought up Darren Wallen and then Mark was like, oh, yeah Darren Wallen is nice, but then Mark. He said Isaiah likely For your PR skills are impeccable impeccable. They are perfect. Great job. Bonk. You said all the right things So shout out to him. Y'all can check that interview out on YouTube I should link it down below in the description so I can make it easier for y'all to find it But anyway, thank you McLean This was it was a fun interview to watch super fast. It's like 11 12 minutes long. So it's quick but yeah, man Mark Very consistent with his words and everything that he had to say, but still kept it interesting Obviously, I know before like And again, Mark, I think he is just the ultimate teammate. He's ultimate teammate He's not gonna bash anybody. You ain't gonna talk bad about anybody Not gonna put on anybody on blast because he had an opportunity because they've been when Greg Roman was part of the Ravens Mark was like, hey, this we got a great offense. We've graded this and that da da da 100% support publicly at least But now that Greg's going he didn't bash him which he doesn't need to you know, you need to bash great room I mean, you don't need for that But again, he didn't take the bait and then with the whole Lamar Jackson contract talk He didn't take the bait either. He could have but he didn't Talk about nothing that's in the locker room. He said, oh, maybe we talked about a little bit But ain't nothing crazy. He just downplayed it all so shout out to Mark Andrews for being The ultimate teammate and the ultimate prep professional and the ultimate interviewer and shout out to his PR team for being the ultimate staff.
