 So YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and welcome aboard Sammy Watkins Officially now this this interview this presser. It wasn't from the crib This was Sammy Watkins introductory press conference as a Baltimore Raven actually there at the facility And I appreciated us a couple of different phrases that he used Specifically but before we get into that I got to say I appreciate y'all I love y'all Thank you for being so positive on here on other channels. Thank you for that Just keep your heads up man, because there's a lot of people out there going through a lot a lot People that you might even be close to going through a lot and you have no idea what they might be going through Because they might be wanting to keep it to themselves So if somebody's having a rough day that you know and they acting sort of out of character get them space Don't try to shut them that just get them space give them space because they may just need a little bit of extra space for the day So they can sort of think through everything and sort of just calm down But anyway, oh shout out to Panamik fee. Oh man See we would have never known because this is why This is why I always say because people tend to get so worked up when they hear about this player that players absent from voluntary OTA's They people tend to get worked up over that stuff, but you never know what somebody's going through and with Panamik fee I believe they said his his great grandmother right now. That's in hospice. So that's tough man That's that's that's tough. So with with Panamik fee with his with with that situation going on They said that he wasn't there at the OTA's, but they said he was still coaching up the young guys That's like man, like for him. He doesn't have to do that That's not his job. He's not a coach and with him not being there for a definite excuse absence Even though it's voluntary, but for him to still take the time out to do that. That says a lot about Panamik fee and his character so special shout out to Panamik fee and Another thing to Sammy Watkins Speaking of Sammy Watkins, I really appreciated Him owning up and him just putting it out there I mean, we already knew it as fans because it was already reported last week that he wasn't there But it was nice that he went and addressed not even an elephant in the room But he addressed that himself. So yeah, I'm mad that I missed the whole week OTA's But I'm here now So I appreciated that accountability Another thing that he continued to talk about a phrase that he continued to use throughout the press conference He talked about Taking coaching. He said that so many times taking coaching. We need to take the coaching We need to take it the young players need to take the coaching. I need to take the coaching I need to learn from the coaches. We need to learn from the coaches and That right there that That's what leaders do Leaders put other people in place to lead to and leaders respect other leaders So Sammy Watkins is already showing his formal respect He probably trying to get some extra catches on on Sundays to now But Sammy Watkins is showing respect a lot of respect to the coaching staff So I appreciate it appreciated that a lot He talked about Rashad Bateman. He mentioned how Rashad Bateman. He knows had a pretty much run every route That's at a professional level So again, a lot of stuff is to be determined because again, this this is where we're gonna hear a lot of good stuff But come training camp and then after training camp come preseason and regular season. That's what we're gonna see That's when we really gonna see So but this is all this is all nice to hear. So shout out to Rashad Bateman doing this thing and somebody asked Tammy Watkins about just um about When he came into the league Who was some influences on him? He talked about guys like Mike Williams. He talked about Mark. He's good one He talked about um, Robert Forget his name Robert from the Rams or is it Roberts the wide receiver Who's played Robert Woods? There we go. Oh, can I think of it? He talked about how those guys and I forget that he used to play for the bills Robert Woods But he talked about how those guys they were young But they were still helping him learn and now he talked about the young receivers that are here with the Baltimore Ravens And he said that he's teaching them, but at the same time, they're teaching him, too So it goes both ways now One question and I respect this reporter for asking the question and I did not catch the name my apologies But somebody asked Sammy Watkins. So what do you say to all of those people who have doubts about you and Then the reporter kind of paused but then he didn't stop and I was thinking okay He's gonna ask this sort of bland question, but then he was like no, no, I ain't done So what do you say to all those people who have doubts about you and the people who say that you won't be able to Play the full season healthy and you haven't done that since 2015. He said to all the people that have voiced that and All the people that have written about that So he talked about people maybe on radio People who may be writing articles people may be making videos. Maybe I don't know but he talked about everybody who's been saying that and that was a very legitimate question and I love that and I Respected it because it's something that a lot of us have been thinking now when Sammy was asked that a couple of months back Well, yeah, what's a couple months back at his introductory presser? he sort of diverted it to the coaching staff on the chiefs and He said well, they It's it's up to them to it's up to coach to keep me on like a count or something like that and I just I Really think that was the best answer but then to today when he was asked about it he He sort of kind of diverted again And he said I'm not worried about that I'm not worried about that and he and then he went to he said well, I played in two Super Bowls So I'll be just fine And I was thinking oh man Well, that that is true because what we always talk about with Sammy Watkins He has literally played in every single type of game that there is every type of preseason game every type of regular season game Every type of playoff game and the Super Bowl of course and he has literally won every single type of game That there is to win and he has lost every single type of game that there is to lose So I feel like his experience could really help the Ravens, especially in the playoffs But when it came to that question, he's sort of like Wiggled around it and it sound like he got a little bit annoyed at it I mean, I ain't trying to hear that but he also did talk about he said with football and NFL It is a 100% Chance of you getting hurt Whether small injuries or whether it's big injuries and that's true because football is a very physical sport It's an extremely physical sport So he is right about that. But again, yeah, we all know Sammy Watkins injury history and it's not pretty again He hasn't played a four seasons since 2015 But what we hope for him with the Baltimore Ravens is that this this is the year This is the year now when they signed Sammy Watkins This is why I said I don't feel like they can put all their eggs into Sammy Watkins basket because of that injury history Because the Ravens knew going in what the past was they knew is the situation So let's see if he can sort of turn the corner and change it a bit And stay healthy this whole year and then of course for playoffs and then hopefully so anyway We were we were all informed. We were all informed for sure But I think that's why Ravens went so heavy in the draft at wide receiver Because they know how things have been unfortunately for Sammy Watkins It's just been a bad bad bouncing of the ball for Sammy Watkins when it comes to his injuries, man So, but hey, we hoping that again that he does a really really good job this year along with everybody else now Somebody else who spoke Was T Martin and with T Martin, I didn't get to catch his entire presser Because the Raven they said they were starting at 230, but they started earlier anyway But one thing that I loved about it wasn't even so much what he said But it was how he said it and the confidence that he said the confidence that he had in himself when he spoke About himself and when he spoke about his resume, he did not say it in a cocky way He didn't say it in an arrogant way He just said in a very confident way and I loved when the reporter asked him So how was he asked him about him being high about John Hall ball And he was telling the story. He said John Hall ball asked him. He said hey How would you like? to coach with with Keith Williams how would you like to coach with Keith Williams and His response was okay. Well, hey, I would love it. You Would be getting the best of both worlds And I was like, oh, okay Let's get it, man, and we really hope that his contribution I mean the same thing that I said from the day that T Martin got hired and him and Keith Williams both got hired on the same day Well, it was announced on the same day, but My hope for them It hasn't changed and it will not change but my hope for them is that they have a voice Like I really hope that they have a voice and that whether it's hardball Greg Roman Urban, I hope that everybody who's above them Will listen to their input because again, you look at their resume Look at the guys that have been under them It's a beautiful thing one thing another thing that T Martin talked about With what he brings to the table as a coach He said since he played the quarterback position He feels like that helps a lot because receivers. He said they'll be talking about oh, I'm open. I'm open I'm open, but he said one of the things that he's really trying to teach the receivers is progression. I And I love that But now let's see it in action Because again now now is the time where they sort of they tickle our ears With everything that they're saying and everything sounds good everything sounds good but We want to see it in action and again, that's what these OTA's is prepping them for That's what many camps gonna prep them for and that's what training camp is gonna prep them for and then comes preseason And then regular season and now it's off to the races from there So team keeping clean. We'll see how things go with these Baltimore Ravens and until then We'll be patient. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. I hope y'all are having a really really great Wednesday And on that note we out
