 Have you ever worked at a job before where initially when you're hired not much is expected from you, but you continue to remain with the company, you continue to grow in your skill and your experience, but then there are people in front of you who have been there for longer. They have seniority, so they carry most of the workload. But then for some strange reason, three of the people in front of you, they end up going on a long leave of absence. You're next in line and it just makes all the sense in the world for your manager to hand you the keys for your manager to say, all right, it's your time to shine. It's your time to step up. We know you've been waiting for this moment for a little while. Here you go. But then your manager goes and hires three other guys. They have a lot of experience, but they don't have the promise that you do. They don't have the ceiling that you do because they've already reached their ceiling. You're still on your floor. That is the scenario that it was this year with Tyson Williams. It made all the sense in the world, especially Tyson Williams the year before having been on a practice call. So he was around the team. And then we saw Tyson Williams this past preseason. We were like, oh, man, who's this? Oh, that's tight. Oh, that's Tyson. OK, I know much about him before, but I like what I see. And then, unfortunately, JK went out. Gus was out. Justice went out. So I was like, OK, well, hey, those guys went out. But it's Tyson's time to shine. Young running back. Ain't nowhere in town on Tyson. Oh, hey, yeah, it's his time, man. It makes sense. And early on he did get some shots. He did get some opportunities. Now we know in week one in the Raiders game, he had a fumble. The fumble went out of bounds, so it wasn't a turnover. But he still had the fumble. You know how hardball feels about them fumbles. So then in week two against the Chiefs, he had another fumble, fumble in the end zone. But all-pro kick-returner Devon DuVernay was in the right place at the right time. Shout out to my guy AJ. My guy AJ calls him Devon DuVernay. And it's the funniest thing. But anyway, with Tyson. He showed you that he can do it. But this is, see, this goes back to the original story. If you're working at the job and your manager's like, all right, there you go. Do your thing. Show me what you got. And you show him a lot of good. But then at the same time, there's some bad too. Usually managers would be like, all right, you know what? This kid got promise. This young man, this young woman, they got promise. Even if he's an older man, an older woman, they got promise. This employee has promise. Because they've shown me, wow, oh, they can do that. Oh, I like that. Especially since our top three guys, they on that leaf of absence. Oh, oh, but they did that. Oh, I didn't like that. Yeah, it didn't cost our company any money, but still I didn't like that. So you know what? I'm just gonna go in another direction. Even though this young employee, this employee shows promise and all that, we're just gonna hire some other guys and some other employees that have a lot more experience. Again, they're sailing. They've already reached their sailing, but we're gonna go with those guys. And that's what happened. Cause again, I like how Jeff Zribick put it because he worded it perfectly in his report. And let's just read it. He said, per league personnel notice today, the Ravens have withdrawn the exclusive rights free agent tender to running back Tyson Williams. And just to give you a summary of what's going on, with the Ravens signing Mike Davis, that put them at 91 men on the roster. So you can only have a 90 man roster. So somebody had to go. And apparently I guess Tyson Williams hadn't signed his tender yet. So the Ravens, they rescinded it. So it's like, all right, we issue you a tender so you're gonna be a Raven, but now the Ravens are like, oh, nope, you know what? Give us that back. We'll take it back. But let's continue. It says, Dave withdrawn the exclusive rights free agent tender to running back Tyson Williams, making him a free agent who can sign anywhere that opens the roster spot for Mike Davis. Williams was the only exclusive rights free agent who hadn't signed the tender to this point. Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. But you know what? I am glad. I'm glad for him. I'm glad for both him and for the Ravens that they can both move on from this situation because it was weird. It was like, when they like, I didn't think he was gonna be on the team moving forward after last year, just because of how everything was. You wouldn't even see him a lot of games. He was active, but he would just be sitting. It wouldn't be used. Even if the other running backs were struggling, he wouldn't be used. Even if the other running backs were injured, he wouldn't be used. And I remember toward the end of the season where he actually got some carries. I think he got two carries. I forgot what game it was. I was like, oh, let's go. But then that was it. That was it. I don't know the backstory. I don't know what the situation was for why it was the way it was. It was just really weird though, man. It was such a weird story all season long, but I was 1,000% sure. I'm like, oh yeah, he ain't gonna be back next year. But then when it came out that the Ravens issued him a tender, I was like, what are they doing? Why? What's the point? If you're not gonna use him, then why? For what? What's the reason? So them rescinding that tender, I'm happy for both parties. He can move on and he can hopefully go get a real opportunity. And the Ravens, they can move forward as well to where it doesn't seem like they like holding somebody hostage. Cause that's what it seemed like to me. It seemed like they were just holding them hostage, man. They're like, all right, you ain't going nowhere. But I guess it is. I'm smarter than him not to sign it yet. So now we'll see what happens next. So now, this is where I like Jeff's reporting right here. Well, we always like Jeff's remix reporting, but I like how he broke this down cause I had to do some math myself. He said, Tyson Williams started three games for the Ravens last year, finishing with 185 rushing yards and a touchdown on 35 carries. So, y'all know, we like doing math over here. Well, not really, but let's do the math. 185 yards, 35 carries. That is an average of 5.2 yards per carry. So Tyson was getting it. We know he had some long runs. So when he had them long runs, it extends that yards per carry, but still, hey, you got the yards. So that is your average. Your average is what it is. Cause no matter how you got it, it is what it is. And that's what it's going to be. But anyway, back to the report. And nine catches for 84 yards. I didn't do the math on those. But he just never seemed to garner the confidence of the coaching staff. That's true. That is very true. And again, it's something that I all, I wondered about all last year. Like, what is going on? Like, really? The Vonte, they ain't giving himself a Vonte Freeman? Really? Tavius Murphy, the boy just got here. Then they went out and even brought in Laveon. But I was like, wow, okay. What? All right. But yeah, I am happy that now he gets another opportunity somewhere else. So wherever that's going to be, I hope it goes really, really, really, really, really well. Like really well. And I just hope that, cause see the part that really like blew my mind last year the most was the fact that he was by far. It was not close. Cause you had the Vonte Freeman, the Tavius Marine, Laveon Bale. He was by far your most explosive runner by far. Pass protection. I don't think his pass protection was all that though. But in the run game, which Ravens love the run game, he was your most explosive runner by far. But, and the thing I would think like, all right, you know football teams, they love talent. And it's like, all right, if a player has talent, even if he has an issue, what coaching staffs do, they work with that player to try to fix whatever that issue is, they've done it. And with him, the issue was, it seemed like it was ball security. It was ball security. Cause again, we talked about the two fumbles that he had. So with that, I was just, I was always hoping that he would get the Alex Collins treatment. Y'all remember Alex Collins when he came on the scene for the Ravens, Ravens signed him off of a Seahawks practice squad, I think, came on us, he would get these big plays, these big explosive plays, but then he would fumble the ball. And they'd be like, oh man, he fumbled. But we got the big plays too though. So it'd be like, okay, hey, if all they gotta do is work on them fumbles, he'll be straight. How about call them out in a presser one day? He said, hey, we're gonna work with Alex Collins on those fumbles. We're gonna work with him. Well, they do, they work with Alex Collins on them fumbles and he turned it around big time, big time. That never happened with Tyson Williams. And I really thought with the situation being what it was, no JK, no Gus, no Justice, that they would definitely have worked with this young running back, especially as opposed to the three older veterans that you saw, like older veterans that you saw. You got this young guy sitting there with all this telling us. But I just, it was just such a weird story. But now that story has finally come to an end officially. So again, wherever he goes next, let's see if he gets a shot, whether he got to start on the practice squad or whether he gets on somebody's roster. Well, he can go to a 90-man roster now. He can go to a 90-man roster and hopefully what some team saw from film on him. I know it's a small sample size. It's a very small sample size, but we'll see who gives him that shot. Team Keeping Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all for giving us a shot every day. Y'all be coming through on the video, sitting down, listening. Whether you're watching on your phone, you watching on TV, you watching on a Switch, you watching on a PlayStation 5, 4, 3, whatever. We appreciate you. Thank you very much. I love y'all. And just like our guy Tyson Williams is now when it comes to being with the Baltimore Ravens, we are out.
