 One of the biggest things that I thought the Ravens struggled with last year and really over the past couple of years has been consistent interior pressure from their defensive line. But this off season, after free agency, after the draft, it seems like they have gotten a whole lot better. But I'm not the best person to tell you why. I brought on a very, very special guest to give you an in-depth breakdown, in-depth analysis of exactly why the Ravens are bigger or better and are stronger on that defensive line. Team Keeping Clean, let's get into it. Yeah, this feels like a dream. You two team keep seeing my boy. He like got him made it, got him made it. Run it, Raven. So Team Keeping Clean, we welcome a very, very special guest. Not the first time or the last time that he been on the channel. It's Coach, AKA Sip to Tally. We appreciate you coming on. First, before we get into it, let everybody know where they can find you at Twitter, the YouTube, all that good stuff. On Twitter, it's Coach Evans 9, YouTube, it's Sip to Tally Femmes. Okay, cool. And what do you do on your channel for those who don't know? For the most part, it's film breakdown. So finding some aspect of the Ravens game, whether it be the run game, the pass game, and I recently finished a thing with who's at fault for all the Lamar Sacks. So just anything Femme related. And then in the all-season I do draft videos. All right, perfect. So that's your go-to for all of that stuff. Because with Ravens YouTube, you're gonna be covered one way or another. So he got you on all your film, your breakdowns, your detailed breakdowns. So shout out to Coach and appreciate you coming on. Now, we are officially out of draft season. The draft is coming and going. But how do you feel as a whole, how do you feel about the Ravens draft this year? Initially, while it was going on, I wasn't too happy. But once I sat back and thought about all the holes that were filled, I really think it was a pretty good draft. Because when you think about it in totality, you got probably the number one safety. The number one center. The number two or three is depending on who you talk to, defensive linemen, well, interior defensive linemen. And you got maybe before the injury, a top five edge guy in your first four picks. Then you just filled holes with a lot of the other stuff with the exception of the glaring hole. But overall, as far as value, I think he did a great draft. But as far as making a hole bigger and not feeling it, I was disappointed in that. But we did bring in some UDFAs, but you never know with those guys. Right, exactly. That's a really, really good point. Now, out of the draft picks that the Ravens selected, which one was your favorite? My favorite was Travis Jones. Who's Travis Jones? And the reason being, him being picked does a lot of things. It gets you younger at the interior D line. It gets you more athletic at the interior D line. And it brings you, it brings a guy that can keep whoever wins the inside line back a job, kind of keep them free. Because we don't have spring chickens there. So they need guys to take up doubles so they can run around. Okay, okay. Now, how does Travis Jones really compliment this defense? How does he compliment the guys that'll be around them? Like a Kaleas Campbell, like a Madabique, like a Michael Pierce. What does he bring to this Ravens defensive line? You know, with defense alignment, there's a ton of switching, like every three, four, five plays and the small quarterbacks wait till, you know, defense alignment, try to serve them in and out and take that quick five yards. But when you look at Travis, Travis wasn't, he was the guy to this. He played 70 to 80% of the snaps. So that wasn't a lot of three plays and running out, three plays and running out. He would play every down, whether it be pass rush, you know, without pass rush, passing downs or run downs, he was in there. And the only time he came out was like when he was tired, tired. And when he came out, other teams ran on Connecticut, you know, with eats. So he can bring run, playing the run, but also get you some interior pass rushes. He happens to be in there on a pass rushing down. He'll learn a lot from Pierce. I think having Pierce in front of him and playing kind of the same position. And I'm gonna say the same, have the same body style cause Jones, Jones is 325, but he doesn't look like he's over 275. He kind of puts you, and dare I say, in the body frame of a younger Aaron Donnell, not saying he's gonna have that production, but Aaron Donnell doesn't look as big as he is. Aaron Donnell got a six pack, you know, massive arms. So Travis Jones kind of puts you in that mind frame of a guy that can sit there in the zero and the one technique and potentially get good and not saying, get like Aaron Donnell, but potentially be good, especially learning from Pierce and Campbell. And I see a rotation of Pierce, Campbell, and then maybe, you know, when you're getting past situations and bringing in Travis Jones and Matt BK, and you get, you know, guys that can still play the run, or more youthful, they can get after the pass or two. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, especially with Kalea's being the older guy, Michael Pierce, not necessarily being older, but we'll see how he fits in this year. Now, how do you feel about just the defensive line overall right now heading into the season? We know some things can still happen here and there, but how do you feel about this group of guys right here, right now? Those four guys I really like, and if you add in Wolf, I don't know how strong or how much he'll be able to give coming off that surgery, but you look at those five guys that I really like playing those interior three positions. But then we go to the edge, you look at Ty is coming back from injury. I hope he can play at the level he was at before he got hurt. Look at Owe on the other side. I'm really excited to see what Dale Hayes can do. You still got pressure daddy, Ferguson. So, you know, I think it's either, come on and produce or you're out of here after this year for Ferguson. Yeah, yeah. And I can see an older guy coming back. Maybe somebody I missed. Justin Houston. Houston. Probably. It's not official yet, but most likely. But then Jabo coming in that fold in like October, November, I think turns that defensive in front seven turn them up because if we can get guys in passing down, you got two young go-getters on the edge that can maybe get out the quarterback then you can maybe come in with Jones and Matt BK to give you some interior push also. So I'm liking what I'm seeing from the defensive front. But when you factor in inexperience, that's where it's gonna, the older guys don't kind of have to play maybe a little bit more early in the year then maybe tear it off toward the middle, let them bodies yield up. Then you can play Calais and Pierce a lot more when that playoff time come. Okay, yeah. That's a good point about the inexperience because it is a lot of youth there. But we do again have some veterans like you mentioned with the Calais and Michael Pierce. So that'll help sort of balance it out. Now, I remember draft night, it was about pick 12. I'm like, okay, Jordan Davis still sitting and it's looking like it. And then pick 13 rolled around. It's like, hold up Eagles, they're not gonna get no, cause they traded up as a matter of fact, like they're not getting no Jordan Davis. They got Fletcher Cox whatnot, but then that pick came around and say Eagles, they selected Jordan Davis. So I guess they just knew, they knew if Ravens had an opportunity to grab Jordan Davis that the Ravens would have done it. But with Kyle Hamilton there too, that would have been a toss up. But how do you compare the two, Jordan Davis and Travis Jones? And do you feel like the Ravens got the better one or do you feel like the Ravens, they made out pretty good with Travis Jones, compared to Jordan Davis or what? As far as the better one, that's a toss up. Because Jordan played in the SEC, didn't play nearly as many snaps as Jones and had a lot more talent around him. Now, I will say both of them probably were the guy that offers the coordinator's game plan for the most. Cause definitely, with Jordan, you had the game plan for him, but you had other guys that could make plays. But on Travis, that was the guy. And anybody else, you can kind of get by. So with the durability, not durability, with the stamina and stuff like that, and with where we picked them at in round three, I think the Ravens got the better deal. Maybe not the best player in season one, but as far as having, gonna have a better career. Cause I don't think Jones has a weight issue. We all know Davis has a weight issue. Maybe the NFL will fix that. We didn't have him full-time nutrition and all that kind of stuff, but he floats your weight in his weight a lot. So I think the Ravens got the better pro and the better value. Because in my opinion, he was the number two with straight up zero technique, like lining straight up over the center. He was the second best guy behind Jordan. But I still, I'm happy with where the Ravens got him and his type of production. And I really like the fact that he played all those snaps in college. So he's not gonna be, he's not gonna, probably not gonna come out looking like Traylon Bursley did yesterday. Oh man, yeah, he couldn't even finish the practice. Man, you just don't threw me all the way off with that one, man. And just to sort of segue to what I assumed where you were talking about the offense, talked about the draft, how they feel a lot of holes on the team with the draft, but they created a bigger hole than what was previously there. And they didn't really address it in the draft. I assume that you're talking about the way I received this. You know, that's a conversation that I love to have on here all day, every day. And apparently the Ravens, they like some of the top guys and they wanted some of the top guys, but all those top guys, they end up getting gone. So one thing that I do appreciate about it is that the Ravens, they didn't settle. And they didn't just, oh, you know what? We'll just take this guy receiver. Cause sometimes it seems like that's what they may do. But how do you feel about the Ravens, about the best way that they should address wide receiver at this point moving forward? Because free agency is limited options. You could go for a trade, but are you really willing to give that up? Or you could go with the guys that you got right now, but then there's a lot of inexperience. But what do you feel is the best option for the Ravens to take when it comes to their wide receipts? And you're meeting with this squad that we have right now, right? Right here right now. The best thing, I really like the fact they brought in bigger bodies with OUDF. So that means they talked, I think they were targeting a bigger body receiver. So that takes guys like Jahan Watson, even a guy they rumored that they were going to pick. I think they kind of taste him out. I think that was just, I don't think they was going to pick that guy cause they were all looking for big receivers. So going forward, I really like Proshay to be the slugger. I think Proshay can step up and have a 40, 50, maybe even 60 catch year and be a chain mover for us. Cause Proshay can really run wraps. He wasn't a, you know, everybody talked about his drop percentage in college and whatnot, but he didn't just run bubbles and screens and slants. Proshay ran the whole route tree, which is, you know, that's kind of the opposite of Duvenay. Duvenay has his lightning has long speed. He can maybe break some tackles. He don't really have a lot of wiggle, but Duvenay ran a lot of slants, screens and deep balls. So his route tree ain't as defined as Proshay. Proshay can get in there and work in and out. He's tough, you know, once he catch the ball, ain't no going down, no shade to somebody else. But then you look at outside Bateman, Bateman is going to have every opportunity to produce as the number one guy. And what I see from Bateman is you can get, you get a mixture of a smaller guy and you also get some of that up top ability of a bigger guy. As we all saw what, you know, the stuff he used to do to Marlon and practice. So you got a guy that can just grow up and be number one. And now you just need to put compliments around it. What I would like for them to do, there's only one free agent that I would say, bring in to make the entire room grow. And that would be Julio. You know, everybody wanted Jarvis. I personally didn't want Jarvis because, and not because Jarvis is not a great player. I think we have that body style in the room in Proshay and Duvenay and Wappas. Now Len would be better than those guys, but I think in order for us to take the next step, we need Bateman on one side, another six, two, six, three guy on the other side that can potentially threaten down the field. So you can't just load them in the box. Now, being in the spray, it says don't necessarily mean you're going to throw it 75 times. You just need to some kind of way get teams are too high. And if you got two threats outside, where they got to have a safety over top of both their corners, your run game will just explain. So we need a guy that can push it down the field and be a possession guy kind of at the same time, which I think is what Bateman is. And I think unless you find a guy that can just straight up blaze to replace Hollywood speed, Julio will be your perfect guy. And I don't know if it's anybody else out there that just can burn like Hollywood. Yeah, Julio will be interesting. Pico, how would you feel? Cause you talked about burn like Hollywood. How would you feel about Will Fuller? Will Fuller, I think that would be the settle. Not saying it wouldn't fit, but I think that would be the settle. Like you, cause when you mentioned that a minute ago, I was like, that's the perfect word for what the Raven used to do at receiver. We'll just let everybody, let the big dogs go, then we'll take what scraps left over that we can get with the change we got. So I think they used to settle a lot at receiver. But now I think going forward, and they much they can do this year, going forward, they're going to try to be more aggressive because the constant has drafted what? Four receivers already? Yeah, Bateman, Hollywood, Duvenay, Prussia. Oh, and Hollywood and we at Wallace and Hollywood and um, Hollywood and breaking. Yeah. So that's six and three years he drafted six guys. So, and he only hit on, we would say he hit on Hollywood. Prussia and Wallace is yet to be determined. Borghan, I think he kind of missed that on. So one out of six ain't bad, but it needs to get better because they got to have a passing game in order to win the whole thing. That's true. I agree, 1000%. All right.
