 Keep refreshing but the stream won't come back. Anyway, YouTube team keep it clean What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video shout out to the Ravens for Presenting Sammy Watkins officially To Baltimore Ravens fans. We got to hear directly from Sammy Watkins about this upcoming season How he feels about his present and his past and also his future So that was cool to see before we get into this man Team keeping clean. I was really really just Humbled and super appreciative Because I saw team keep it clean in the comment section on the Ravens live stream and it is y'all are crazy like crazy And but it was all positivity all positive vibes All love man. So I love y'all. I appreciate y'all shout out to y'all for like really coming through Like we obviously most of us are Ravens fans on this channel but only like y'all showed up and y'all showed out and That's a beautiful thing with team keeping clean just representing positivity all over man Just showing everybody love just a good vibe good energy Thank you. And that's the same thing that Sammy Watkins He also brought in his first presser as a Baltimore Raven and just from that presser We were taking some notes. I was taking some notes that Sammy Watkins was talking answering questions But the question or one of the first questions that got brought up was why? For what what made you want to come to the Baltimore Ravens? Because we hear of so many different receivers and reasons why they could possibly not want to come to the Baltimore Ravens But why Sammy? What made you choose the Ravens? One of the answers that he gave was Lamar Jackson He's had Lamar Jackson that he was one of the big reasons that he came on over to play for the Ravens But he said another reason was both Keith Williams who obviously he's familiar with And Greg Roman too who he also is familiar with because his most successful season of his entire career He played it under Greg Roman So, I mean that you got to think and a lot of us had noticed that before before Sammy Watkins It before it even became official, but we saw that when we looked at the numbers We were okay. That was his most successful season. Oh, it just so happened to be under Greg Williams I mean Greg Roman, excuse me so That could definitely we could see how that could be a big factor into that But also with Keith Williams, that is big too that that is very very big too Because I was just talking to my guy JT early today And he brought up a very very good point about both Keith Williams and T Martin because most of us Ravens fans Especially me. I'm thinking of their impact post draft What they can do for the Ravens post draft with developing receivers developing players helping them really reach their full potential But my guy JT he talked about pre-draft and he talked about how those guys can actually provide a lot of Intel on these young upcoming guys to the Ravens that they didn't have all that knowledge and information before I was oh man. What a beautiful just a gym. Anyway On to Sammy Watkins He also said that uh because another thing that we talk about a lot is The Ravens and then with them potentially landing that guy at wide receiver that it would be very hard because of the Ravens play style And just the way that they do things they are running football team That is their biggest goal That's their first and foremost goal is a second goal third goal to run the football and they asked Sammy Watkins about that And he said that he ain't worried about the possible lack of targets lack of yards anything like that He just said that he wants to help grow the passing game and do everything that it takes To win everything that it takes to win and So it and now of course Action speak louder than words and right now the words are talking about what the possible future actions could be So we hope they live up to that But right now a so far. He's saying all the right things. He's saying all the right things But hopefully hopefully we don't see when it's a game where Sammy Watkins is open Lamar don't see him he looks somewhere else Sammy Watkins is the game with one reception for 19 yards And he upset and then he get on to it and be like man I made the wrong decision Anyway But um He also said with Keith Williams, this was something that I really liked He said with Keith Williams, he makes it easy for guys to get open And he said he said no matter what type of guy you have at wide receiver Keith Williams can't help you any He will help you get open and he said he don't care if you run a 4-8 So he don't care if you super fast if you're super slow It does not matter if you tall you short whatever kind of receiver you are Keith Williams will help you get open and As a as a Ravens fan, I have never ever and it's not a shot at any previous surpassed coaches anything like that But I've just never heard any receiver ever say that about any Ravens offensive staff person on the staff at all I've never heard that at all So I don't know if that's really saying a lot But I mean we'll see we'll see because I mean me I love everything that Sammy Watkins said in the press today, but I'm not gonna be like oh, man Oh, yes, okay. Well since he said that this is gonna happen. That's gonna happen That's gonna happen. We hope it does and we hope all of this stuff that he talked about comes to fruition everything But seeing is believing and I'm not sure I'm not being a Debbie down or a negative name see anything like that But we just got to keep it real man. We got to keep it real Not my expectations for this season for this offense. I think for the offense overall should still be high But the passing game specifically, how was the passing game gonna be this year? It's still to be determined So we'll just see how everything goes with that Now he talked about speaking of the passing game speaking to the offense He spoke back about Greg Roman again He said Greg Roman will do a good job of getting the ball in Hollywood and his hands and he said whatever other receivers are there Whatever other receivers that the Ravens end up drafting now with that I noticed he didn't mention anybody else by name And maybe it's just cuz he hasn't got a chance to meet them or whatnot He didn't mention Hollywood by name, but he didn't mention any other receivers and he did that twice too But he did say that he knows Hollywood said he knows Hollywood a little bit So they got a relationship. I told ya a One of the reasons why Sammy Watkins said he came here. He said one Lamar Jackson. Oh, where's he from? I don't know Florida He also said Greg Roman and he said Keith Williams, but then he also said Hollywood too. Where is Hollywood? I don't know Florida Y'all man up. I'm trying to tell you I've been I've been trying to tell you all about these Florida Ravens Man, but some people don't want to hurt me anyway He talked about his health That's a question that we've all had for Sammy Watkins and we Again cuz he hasn't played a four season since his rookie season his rookie season That's the last time he played a four sixteen games and now again Ravens I mean not Ravens, but in that fail. It's a 17 game schedule now. It's a 17 game schedule So all of that is gonna take that much more to stay healthy And they asked him about that like what are you planning on doing to stay healthy? How are you gonna stay healthy? What are you gonna do so you could play it for a season? Now he said he put a lot of it on coaching He said he's had coaches that know when to pull back like on practice and whatnot Coaches that sort of know how to pace them And he also talked about staying healthy and getting massages and whatnot and doing a good job in the weight room And he talked about eating right as well. That's something I struggle with myself. But anyway He he did I'm glad they acknowledged that and I appreciated that they asked about that because these are the questions man And again steel you could say all the right things But we just want to see all this stuff be put into Action and like I said with Sammy Watkins model throughout this entire season Prove them wrong and prove me wrong prove everybody wrong Please prove everybody wrong Because we are rooting for Sammy Watkins few Ravens fan you're rooting for whether you wanted the Ravens to sign him or not You're rooting for me. You should be playing for your favorite team. You want your team to have some success So we're rooting for Sammy Watkins for sure And we want that boy to show out man, then especially when him being from Florida again that helps a lot as well But anyway, let's keep it going And one of the biggest takeaways He said one of his biggest takeaways because they asked him about Lamar Jackson because you know That's that's the thing. That's what you got to answer Whether you play offense or defense if you get signed to the Ravens you get traded to the Ravens you get brought into the Ravens They're gonna ask you that question. So you better have your answer ready I mean, you know, you already got an answer ready for it, but they're gonna ask you So they asked him what's his biggest takeaway from Lamar Jackson? And he said that when they spoke so when him and Lamar Jackson spoke he said This is your show. I Just want to be part of it and I want to help out So Sammy Watkins he sort of um, it's sort of like he's acknowledging his role Acknowledging what he plans on bringing to the team and that just sounded like a veteran to me It sounded like a veteran to me now a lot of us We feel like Sammy is an age veteran. We feel like he been around the game for a long time Which he he has been around for a while Excuse me, but he's a he's only 27 about to be 28 and that is crazy Like crazy a lot of us going into this all-seeing with thinking old Sammy Watkins he probably like 30 31 Maybe 32 but probably like 30 31. Nope 28 now body suddenly got a lot of wear and tear on it from all the injuries and whatnot But hopefully that can be a thing of the past He also talked about having fun He talked about that a lot through this presser which we loved and he talked about that It's critical that him and Lamar Jackson get on the same page because that it is We trust me. We know it is definitely critical that Lamar and why receive is all get on the same page Oh now this question because they asked him about him being the veteran in a group He's the veteran of Raven's locker room at Y receiver. How does he feel about being the veteran? He's sort of the og in a room And he said that that was his role in Kansas City because he said he's with Tyree kill young guy He was with McCollum and young guy Travis Kelsie. He was the veteran there Um and he said he knew his role and he said that they played for each other And he said one of the biggest things was their communication He said that he'll be learning from hollywood and he said that he'll probably have some different things that um That he can teach hollywood too So they'll be able to bounce off of each other Then of course everybody else as well And he also talked about one of my favorite things that he spoke about Was doing whatever it takes to win And that's important That's important All right now speaking of Kansas City, um, they did ask him about uh, like why the change of scenery Because early on in the uh the presser He was asked like well, what made you choose the Ravens? Why the Ravens and he said he wanted to change your scenery So somebody went back to that and was they were like, well, what do you mean change of scenery? You aren't you coming from some great scenery? You just went to two straight Super Bowls and we know it should have actually been three But you just went to two straight Super Bowls. You're one one of them wouldn't change the scenery. Well, who would want to change that? They didn't actually like that, but that's what they were thinking. Who would want to change that? so Sammy Watkins, uh, he answered that, um his time was up He said his time was up And he said that he said that he wanted to be somewhere where he could see himself spending the next uh five to six years And probably retire Now will that happen with the baltimore ravens? I I wouldn't expect it to but if sammy walkins does end up getting a contract extension from the baltimore ravens That would be a good thing and the reason i'm i'ma tell you why i know some people like what sammy what contracts If he got a contract extension from the baltimore ravens that would mean that he had a lot of success With the baltimore ravens and then they offered him a contract extension So anyway, we'll see what happens now our guy jeff's rebeck I am and my apologies. I didn't um when I was taking notes. I didn't write the other reporters name There's no offense to them anything But I was just trying to move and I was trying to get the live stream going then the live stream stopped And then it came back again Then it stopped and then it got shut down completely and we were all just looking around like oh, what's going on But it's all good He asked about the process with the visits So, you know, I sammy walkins visited the ravens and then he visited the coals and then he was they talked about him The texas were interested too, but he ain't making that far but anyway Asked him about the visits and they they asked uh if it made things difficult for him And he said no it was an easy process Uh, he said it was never a difficult decision to come to the ravens And then again, he spoke about keith williams and greg roman And then knowing hollywood too So again florida Hey And then he also spoke about being in greg roman's offense and how he can move around and play different spots Which we talked about on here too. You can put them outside. You can put them inside. You can move around and that's that's one thing that um The ravens, uh, I can't really say they like to do that too much with people on offense Um, because we were still seeing this this just lack of involvement from different guys on offense But sammy walkins he did say that um He wants to be a part of the solution He said he knows what the problem is. You know what people talk about he said with greg roman He said the world hasn't really seen greg roman The full capability and ability of his offense yet. He said it's time for the world to see it And he also said it's time to see uh the world. It's time for the world to see the sammy walkins that was balling out in college It's time for the world to see that guy Because he said that they haven't truly seen him yet As much as they uh, they should Uh, and another thing too that uh, jeff zrebek brought out And this was after the stream got shut down because you know, we we got cut off from this whole thing but he said that uh sammy walkins has spoke to um the anthony thomas Who used to play with footed chiefs? And used to play for the ravens. He said he spoke to the anthony thomas and He said the anthony thomas had a lot of high praise for the ravens and now this is something that Not with every single player, but with about like 99 of the players who get released from the ravens Who or who the ravens don't resign for whatever reason? Usually about 99 of the time those guys always have something positive to say Despite what the outcome with the ravens was They usually have something pretty uh pretty good to say usually There's no way to work out like that and it's all good everybody's entitled to their own opinion on everything But the anthony he said the anthony thomas spoke highly of the ravens Uh sammy walkins he talked about the vibe with the ravens and whatnot and it's always it's like when you're getting a new job When you're getting a new job that um one of your friends either works at now or has worked at before You hit them up like hey, what what does it like to work there? How is the manager? How the co-workers? How's the environment? because in my opinion environment culture That outweighs money all day every day And i'm not saying that you you want to be broke anything, but you want to be whole I love the people that i work with but i'm broke. You don't want to do that But at the same time for me I think that outweighs it and that's me speaking from A normal job Like That that would that would be me speaking from this point of view But it's the same thing and a not so normal job of the nfl You can go make more money at this team. Oh, you could go get paid the biggest bucks and usually The teams who do the worst They have the most money to spend Usually every year it doesn't always work out that way, but i say usually like eight eight eight out of ten times eight out of ten times the teams with the most money Is usually the worst situations because they continue to have so much turnover Year after year after year they continue to bring in guys cut guys bring in guys cut guys But at a higher rate a lot of turnover And it's the same way with a lot of jobs too A lot of jobs in the normal world not in the nfl world because that's not normal But in the normal world there can be a lot of turnover at places and you like man Oh, they make a lot of money, but you see a revolving door You see people always getting hired and fired hired and fired. Whoa. What's that about? But then you look over to this other company people a lot happier They may make a little less money still a decent amount of money, but they may make a little less money But they're happier and you it's That outweighs it for me. Like I said big time big time Oh, man Like and and it took a while for me to get this It took a while for me to get this it took a lot of experience for me to get this in the workforce um in corporate america to it it took a lot, but It's a lesson that I genuinely appreciate and have to share with other people too Certainly not all about the money snot But sammy walkins again, uh the anthony thomas and sammy walkins. He said they talked and um the anthony thomas had a good thing to say about the ravens So it's always nice when you have somebody that's been where you're getting ready to go So they can tell you about it. They can sort of show you the ropes They can tell you the good the bad the happy the sad and everything else in between So that can give you more confidence in your decision moving forward. So anyway, shout out to sammy walkins Um, shout out to y'all team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Hey, we love sammy tuner. Hey, he's from florida But yeah, man, I'm excited to see what he does though for real appreciate y'all listening. Thank you And just like sammy walkins won't be with the ravens anymore because he ain't gonna visit nobody else We got him signing that's it. That's a wrap But i'm out y'all
