 So team keep it clean. I knew I was gonna see y'all later on today I figured it was gonna happen, but I did not know it would be because of the LA Ravens Striking again subscribe to the channel turn notifications on run them likes up because we got to talk about these Baltimore Chargers so this offseason has been a busy one for the charges because they've been doing everything that they possibly Can to be the Baltimore Ravens Let me remind you of how well their general manager is former director of player personnel right from a Ravens director of player personnel Joe Horty's the offensive coordinator is former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman the running back that they signed former Ravens running back Gus Edwards offensive linemen a sign from a Ravens offensive linemen Bradley Bowsman the tight end they signed former Ravens tight end first-round draft pick by the way Hayden Hurst and now Now you add former Ravens was never a starter, but former Ravens fullback been Mason You think these charges respect the Baltimore Ravens now I get it that general manager is the one that makes the moves and the one that really builds the team That being Joe Horty's and now he's getting his first crack at being a general manager, which is great for him I do commend him on his work But these guys you could tell that he he really Appreciated where he came from and loves where he came from and will never forget and doesn't forget and hasn't forgotten Where he came from that being with the Baltimore Ravens, and I mean hey The charges wanted to be the Ravens so bad. They say you know what? John Harbaugh ain't going nowhere. Let's get old Jim Jim. Come on run a show, baby And there you have it man. So with the charges them signing been Mason. I love it, man I love it. It's like the charges. They've been controlling the Ravens heavy all offseason all offseason long But I seriously though I do think it's just a really a sign of respect It's a sign of respect for how the Baltimore Ravens operate again. Joe Horty's being the general manager He knows the ins and outs of the Baltimore Ravens He's there for a long time worked his way up and now he worked his way out and now he's doing his own thing in La, but I do think it's a deep sign of respect for how the Ravens operate deep sign of respect for the work ethic of their coaching staff or the work ethic of all those players that They brought in and with some of them they were recent former Ravens But some of them were not so recent from Ravens, but all of those players that we named They all got their start one way or another Drafted undrafted Drafted high drafted low. They all got their start with the Baltimore Ravens been Mason But been Mason. He's somebody that John hardball would talk about and say that he is a very very hard worker He said despite him and I didn't really get no playing time. I Really don't remember. I think maybe there was maybe Kobe is I don't remember how long been Mason been around for but I don't remember him getting on the field like ever Really don't remember but anyway Been amazing somebody that hop on always talked about being a very hard working despite him not getting much playing time Hop on talked about how he would be one of those people. That's so that's first day of practice and last out and whatnot So that's a good thing for him. I always thought the year that we drafted been Mason I thought that that was going to be a wrap for Pat Riccardo. I really did I thought been Mason was going to be the Pat Riccardo replacement The year that we drafted been Mason, you know, I forget when it was. I just knew oh, okay because don't nobody draft a fullback and Yeah, I mean don't nobody drive the fullback at all But if you draft in a fullback, then yeah, he's definitely going to be the replacement. Nope He certainly was it and there's still a lot of questions about that draft and that draft picking what now But we talk about that another time. Well, we probably won't but anyway, um, we've been Mason I remember the whole The whole ordeal, I mean, it was always meant to be after been Mason left the Ravens for a little bit Then came back to the Ravens. It was always meant to be that he was gonna leave It was just a matter of time that he left the Baltimore Ravens because I remember When they him in the Ravens, they agreed to like one of them wink wink deals Those wing wing deals not not Don Martin deal wink But one of the deals where you it's like a handshake deal like okay. Hey been Mason. Well, we're gonna cut you We're not gonna cut you with the intentions of you remaining a free agent But we're gonna bring it back by put your practice squad to our goals We got to do some roster maneuver and whatnot Okay, all right Ravens think okay. I got you. So they did They did that we've been Mason years ago years ago. Y'all remember the story. They did that we've been Mason and Apparently they agreed to one of those wing wing deals. So they cut them. They released them and Remember it was a pressure and how ball was like, hey, well, I mean a reporter asked how ball Hey, what's going on a bit Mason? Where's been Mason at what happened to been Mason and how balls like oh, I'll let him address that when he wants to address I'll let him answer that quote and the way that he said it was like Snappy hardball because we get a lot of different versions of hardball throughout the season It depends on what his mood is and then I get it. Oh, but how ball he obviously wasn't feeling been mason Who's that about the way that he said it was like whoa and then like an hour maybe two hours later Oh Ben Mason former Baltimore Raven assigned with the New England Patriots. Oh Okay, that's why he was acting like that instead been mason's name with that just that small Yeah, he wasn't feeling him at all. Um, so but been makes it end up coming back. Anyway a little later on But now a now he gets his real opportunity and what helps him out is that Obviously familiar with the system that they run Or that they're gonna run over there With the charges being Greg Roman system But um, this will be a cool opportunity for him because I'm I don't know how much to what extent since Gus Edwards. He was running with The the starters he and then probably the two so I'm not sure what extent Then Mason's relationship is with him But maybe they did get a little bit involved in maybe maybe Been makes was able to block for him at some point in practice. Maybe maybe But yeah, so well, it shouldn't be nothing to pick that up So that's happy for been mason school for been mason good opportunity for been mason And now he'll be blocking it. He'll be blocking with a lot of Ravens He didn't hers gonna be over there blocking Bradley Bowden gonna be over there blocking. I'm sure Greg Rome I mean, excuse me, not Greg Roman Gus Edwards at some point. He gonna be over there blocking to Justin Herbert he got to be looking around like Okay This is gonna be different because The way that the you look at the charges And I don't know all the ins and outs of everything and all the operations and every single roster move that they did But when you look at the charges and you see how they're moving at least from an outsider's perspective Chargers fans would obviously know a lot more than me. But when you look at how they're moving from the outside in It does seem very 2020 Ravens because you look and They got rid and I know a lot of it had to do with money But they got rid of Mike Williams top receiver they got rid of Kenan Allen didn't want to take a pic of money Top receivers they got rid of them, too it was said on the defensive side of the ball that They still had money problems, but they made it work with Joey Bolsa and Khalil Mac So they made it work on the defensive side of the ball as far as keeping their talent the most talented people But on the offensive side of the ball, especially at wire receiver. They're not this ain't working out. You gotta go So hey But again, I don't know all the ins and outs very well that that's what it looks like to me But you know with Greg Roman system that they put a heavy emphasis on tight ends I would Justin Herbert I Do think that and I've said this multiple times before That the efficiency is gonna go up the yards passing yards are going to go down The efficiency is going to go up. So I think touchdowns will stay about the same I think interceptions will definitely go down Though for him. So things gonna be different for Justin Herbert. Maybe he gonna be running a little RPO He's gonna learn how to take off a little bit more and whatnot. So we're gonna see how he looks in That system because as we know We've seen a lot of mobile quarterbacks be in that system Alex Smith for a little bit But then we saw Colin Kaepernick. He did this thing Tyrone Taylor when Greg Roman was in Buffalo And then obviously Lamar Jackson in Baltimore when Greg Roman was there So these mobile quarterbacks they they be doing their thing in that system as far as taking off So Justin Herbert, this is gonna be a new age. Justin Herbert the Justin Herbert of 2024 It's gonna be nothing like you've ever seen
