 Well, this is awkward So YouTube team keep it clean what's going on is engraving here with another video And if you've been paying attention for the last couple of the even if you haven't even been paying attention for the last couple of days You know that there has been a lot of craziness going on with the Baltimore Ravens and their running back room Of course after all the workouts after all the rumors after all of this and that that The Ravens ended up signing Levy on bail to the practice squad And they said that he's expected to be on the active roster soon enough when that time comes Hey, who knows but we'll see if it's sooner rather than later But like I said in yesterday's video, I'm sure it's a very humbling experience For one Levy on bail being on the practice squad after being one of the best running backs in the league just a couple of years ago, but Before Levy on bail was officially added to the practice squad We all had our thoughts on who the Ravens should sign who they should bring in I thought that they should bring in Devonte Freeman I thought that he is a better fit than Levy on bail But with them bringing in Levy on bail Even though he has a different style from what the Ravens do Maybe that change of pace could end up being good and especially I know everybody's been talking about His hands this dude can catch like a wide receiver which we know in which we appreciate and we also know that with JK Dobbins He was expected to get very much more involved in the passing game Gus Edwards is as well so with Levy on bail hey, why not and Again worst case scenario because I know it's been a lot of people freaking out about the Levy on bail signing Oh, man, what if he starts acting up? What if he doesn't work out? What if it's this? What if his dad? What if he doesn't look so good? They'll cut him It's not a big deal Worst case scenario. He doesn't look good. He doesn't look explosive. They cut him But you got to feel like with the Ravens and the way that these dudes run the ball That even if a running back hasn't looked himself over the past couple of years even though again chiefs They're not a running team. They're not and the Jets they barely even a team. They're not So you can't really hold those teams and that lack of production that Levy on bail had with those guys Against his overall career. So I'm excited to see what these Ravens do with Levy on bail I'm happy for Levy on bail that he's getting another shot and We getting the motivate extra motivated Levy on bail We saw how he updated his bio to everything that everybody had been saying about him But anyway, somebody else whose first name just so happens to start with an L They were released from their team yesterday before Levy on bail had but before it was announced that Levy on bail had became a member of the Baltimore Ravens practice squad and that was one Latavius Murray and like we talked about yesterday is funny because There's been a lot of people on both sides of the whole Levy on bail should the Ravens sign them Should they not sign them and after they did sign them. There's been a whole lot of people on both sides Oh, I don't think it's gonna work out. That's a ways in. Oh, no This thing could really do some damage in a good way to opposing teams defenses But and then I know somebody was like man, imagine now Lamar Jackson Levy on bail when they get on that back Y'all football too. Oh Anyway So with Levy on bail there was that 50 50 split with the Vonte Freeman the same thing and with a lot of other players And whatnot is always that split and that's fine. Everybody's not gonna agree on everything But yesterday when Latavius Murray was released. I literally saw all the Ravens flocking unison Everybody was on the same page with that and we could all understand why this is a running back I had a good average for yards per carry last year as a backup had a good average yards per catch last year as a backup for the New Orleans Saints So when you think about that and he had a he's had a pretty productive career He played with the Raiders. He played with the Vikings as well And he's usually been a backup guy He's had some stints as a starter now and he's been productive when he's a starter But he's always been a productive running back and if he that Ravens would have added him to the mix I don't think anybody would be complaining but He himself He wouldn't be complaining either because it seems as if Latavius Murray is actually still interested in the Ravens And I'm not sure if when this came out. Maybe he hadn't got the memo yet Because we know that timing is everything, but let's look at what he said when speaking to one. Josena Anderson She said just got off the phone with running back Latavius Murray. He told me and she quoted these are his words not hers I'm willing to discuss an opportunity with anyone interested in me Okay, cool. Well, that's the obvious, right? Like I'm willing to discuss in it in an opportunity with anybody that's interested in me Okay, we get it because he right now. He doesn't have a job. He does not have a job And real quick just to get into that with Saints releasing him Shannon shop made a really really good point yesterday And I'm sure many players have gone through this as well And I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact tweet But he talked about how with the Saints just the timing of it was just nasty Because he said the Saints they sort of backed what they thought they back Latavius Murray into a corner Because they could have asked him about this whole little pay cut They could ask him about it in March They could ask him about it a long time ago But they waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited until a couple of days before the season's getting ready to start and So to where you sort of like I a he's stuck now Let's ask him to take this pay cut. He gonna take it because he ain't got all the options Options will be becoming a free agent You going to be a free agent at this time the market is it's not done But it's it's really slow right now, especially for running backs We got it right where we want it. So the accident take a pay cut now instead of way before and he said no So their plan may have backfired and they're like, all right, you know what just buy you're out But anyway Back to the quote said I'm willing to discuss an opportunity with anyone interested in me at the same time Baltimore is a team that was impacted by injuries has a great chance of winning and a great coaching staff. I Just want to get to work So he sounds like he is very interested in the Ravens because he brought out Several things that make a big difference and I know a lot of people have talked about. Well, what about the money? What about the bread? Well, if you got a player that just got cut and they speaking about these things Then it seems as if it may not be all about the money Because with Justin Houston again, it was not all about the money. He saw an opportunity And he knows what these Ravens are capable of He jumped on it And we've seen plenty of players plenty of times They with the Ravens, they love the culture there man. They love it Lot of them take less money, you know Ravens. They love giving less money too, but a lot of them would take less money Just so they could stick around Mark Andrews Enough times with contracts, especially with quarterbacks, but we're really with any position. It's not always about who the best is It's not It's not always about who the best is it's about the timing of the deal Remember Joe Flacco. He got paid highest paid quarterback. He was never the best quarterback in the league Now he did come off a Super Bowl So he was the most recent successful quarterback in the league at that time But he was never the best quarterback in the league So he ended up getting be becoming the highest paid quarterback at that time twice two times in his career He was the highest paid quarterback and it's like in one of those times where he was coming off ACL injury, but anyway with Mark Andrews, he doesn't have the highest average salary now It said that over the next four years. He'll get the most money by a tight end, but Maybe Ronnie Stanley will probably be a better example He's the top left tackle in the league He's not the highest paid though Marlon Humphrey, he's the top cornerback in the league and you can seriously make a case that he's number one For everything that he can do moving inside outside and all that but he's not the highest paid corn in the league So you get my point with with the Ravens guys will they'll take less Just to stay because these guys could easily leave they could easily come out. Hey, I want to be traded I don't want to be here anymore. I'm trying to be the highest paid I'm trying to be a high-spay that and Ravens wouldn't want to trade him, but Ravens will be like, you know what? All right, let's get some draft capital form by But these guys end up taking less staying around So this says a lot about Latavius Murray to and to me It shows me that it wouldn't be all about the money now. It would also need to be an opportunity to and with the Ravens having Levy on bail in a practice squad now Devonte Freeman he's still in town Canon they expected to sign him. We'll see what happens With that the running back room it can go from being Not crowded to crowded really fast So we just got to see how things develop over these next couple of days and after the Levy on bail signing I don't expect him to get signed by the Ravens, but You can never say never so we'll see how it all goes down team keeping clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all we out
