 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video and John hardball He did it. He officially named Bradley bozeman the starting center for the Baltimore Ravens this upcoming season And this was something that was a bit surprising to me at the same time It wasn't but it still was because I remember a little while back at a presser Hardball was like, oh, yeah Bradley Bozeman He's gonna be in competition for the starting spot at center and when he said that I was like no, I don't believe you I don't believe you But now hardball doubled down on it and not only doubled down on it because he didn't say that Bradley Bozeman was gonna be in competition for none. No. No. He said Bradley Bozeman is the Ravens starting center So they may actually have their offensive line set It may be from left to right Ronnie Stanley and hopefully he comes back healthy Ben Cleveland, I know that spot is not officially his but again the vibe that you got to feel right now is that it's gonna end up being He is but we'll see we'll see it's still to be determined Bradley Bozeman at center Kevin Zyler right guard and that right tackle Alejandro via Nueva shout out to my guy Augusto So that that seems to be Ravens starting offensive line now see one of the best things about that about their starting offensive line is The starters, but then the backups too Because you have a backup in Patrick McCurry that he can play center and yet we know how it last season ended It was very unfortunate But this is one of the reasons why I am very glad that they put in Bradley Bozeman at center Because we had a question from subscriber a few months ago on this very subject Why the Ravens they draft these offensive linemen and they make them switch positions They don't draft offensive linemen and play them at their natural position And of course, you know Ravens they love players at every single level that can do more If it's a wide receiver that could play defensive in they would do it I mean they had a tight end playing defensive in if it's a linebacker that can drop back and play safety They'll have them do it. I mean not technically, but you know what I mean Ravens like guys that can do more So with that being said they take that same approach with their offensive linemen if a center can play guard or for Guard can play tackle. They will have you do just that and they like to have guys ready just in case because Unfortunately, we know injuries happen injuries are a huge part of the game They're the worst part of the game, but they are a huge part of the game and they happen So you got to be ready But with what I was saying one of my favorite things about this offensive line is the depth and the quality depth because again You have Patrick McCurry. He stepped in he could play center, but even though he had never played center before Back in 2019 he never played center before 2019 and then he stepped in and he picked up right where Matt's girl left off But you have Patrick McCurry he can move around and you have Tyree Phillips now I know a lot of people a lot of people weren't big fans of Tyree Phillips now with with me I like them because I thought about the potential. Yeah, he has some hiccups here and there But then you got to remember the situation. What was the situation last year? Tyree Phillips was a rookie in an offseason where there was no offseason So for a lot of rookies from last year, you got to cut them a lot of slack You you have to you got no choice, but to because they didn't have a proper. They didn't have a full offseason They didn't have a normal offseason So you got to give those guys a break. So Tyree Phillips especially being an offensive lineman in this offense in this offense Yeah, you you got to cut him a break But I'm looking forward to watching his growth and his development with the Baltimore Ravens Now, of course the Ravens they still have been powers to they still got been powers They still got Ben Bredesen and the jury still out on him. We we don't know much about him So it's still to be determined But they have some depth But back to the starter back to Bradley Bozeman Him playing his natural position. This is what he played in college at Alabama And the thing about this too that really makes a big difference is the experience And my guy Marcus shout out to my guy Marcus Holmes He pointed this out to me months ago when it was before the draft It was before free agency was when we were wondering what the Ravens were gonna do at the center position He said we need somebody a sinner who is a natural sinner, but somebody who's played in cold weather games Because you know like When you play in football Whether you've ever played organized football Even if you just play street football if you play in football playing in the warm weather, it's cool It's nice. I mean you come down here. You want to play some flag Which we should throw off team keep it clean flag football event down here, South Florida But if you come down here and play football Lovely the weather is gonna be great It may rain for like two minutes and then it's gonna end up stopping it's gonna pass over But you're gonna be playing it's gonna feel great. You're gonna be like, okay, man I ain't know I was this fast and I know I had hands like this cause somebody slipping But if you go up north in the wintertime and you want to play some football then and it's cold Especially if you're hitting there if you play a tackle if you play an organized football If you just playing tackle street football, it's different because when it's cold Oh, you feel everything that much more you do and With the Ravens that one of the biggest reasons they need a sinner who has played in that cold weather That has that experience playing in that environment is Not so much for the regular season because again This is the theme of this offseason for me and it actually was last year to shout out to my god Josh Hoffman I know it was for him last year for sure to the theme for the Baltimore Ravens It's not what's gonna happen in a regular season The worry is not in the regular season for the Ravens. Of course, we want them to do great in the regular season We want them to go out there and just kill it in the regular season But that's not the worry the worry is in the postseason in January when it gets cold outside and when it's pressure time when it's one and done when it's winter go home Because we just want things to be right Last year It showed throughout the entire season. It was not a thing where it was just like oh man All of a sudden in the playoffs are offensive line. They didn't underperform it a bit. No, it was like that through the entirety of the season and The offensive line was the Ravens their killies Hill That they suffered there all year long since week one since week one and They they did some patchwork and whatnot and again Maybe it was because of what the offseason was or really what the offseason wasn't But now with them having a full offseason Hopefully this improves the quality of the offensive line play Guys can get a better feel for each other and just the camaraderie both on and off the field like yummy You saw everybody going out to dinner. I know that was a big tab That had to be a big tab autumn offensive linemen eating like man. Whoo. That's But whoever the waiter was I'm sure they got a nice tip. So shout out to whoever the waiter was I hope you got a lot of money But this this is a good thing. This is a good thing Because this makes the Raven situation at center and it makes the Raven situation an offensive line It makes it clear moving forward and that's what you want the earlier the sooner the better Because you don't want to be going into training camp and this happened with the Ravens before and it's not necessarily a bad Thing, but this is a better thing. This is a better situation. You don't want to go into training camp like oh man Who's gonna win the job as center? Who's gonna be our starting left guard? Who's gonna be a starting right guard? Who's gonna be all this who's gonna be all that? And you you want guys to compete for those starting jobs and whatnot But at the same time, it's nice when you go into camp with a clear head knowing, okay These are our expected starters really the only job that's up for grabs is that left guard right now That's the only one that is the only one that's up for grabs Because Ronnie Stanley is is the starting left tackle and again. That's assuming that he comes back 100% Bozeman is a starting center Zitler they didn't sign that guy to be a backup He's a starting right guard and Alejandro via Nueva via via Nueva. Sorry He is the starting right tackle because you saw the money that he got that one year eight million dollar deal That's not backup money So the only job that is essentially up for grabs is the battle of the bends at left guard It's gonna be Ben Cleveland. Is it gonna be Ben Powers or is it gonna be Ben Bredesen? So y'all know who I think is gonna be I'm sure y'all got the same vibes that I do or a lot of y'all maybe not everybody But hey, we'll see what goes down, but it's nice to have that clarity on 80% of the offensive line So shout out to hardball and the Ravens for making this move happen and making it official So now we know moving forward what to do and how it's gonna go down So let's just hope all the execution across the board is good to go. Let's just hope Bradley Bozeman. Hey, he doesn't forget Well, I mean he is a natural. So if you you played center your entirety of college. So yeah, I'm sure he'll be just fine now one thing that I do want the Ravens to implement no matter who the starting center would be is You don't have to have every single play out of the shotgun what I think the Ravens need to implement is Snaps under center Snaps under center and it doesn't just have to be here for goal line formation But snap they need to implement some plays with Lamar take snaps under center not just in a pistol not just in shotgun So just my two cents though. Anyway team keep it clean appreciate y'all. I love y'all and we out
