 Now, I know it would be so easy to not really think about anything else that's going on with these Baltimore Ravens because so much of what we think about, what we talk about, what's been going on, what's being talked about is everything with Lamar Jackson. But this kind of slipped through the cracks for me. Because when I saw it online, I saw it on Twitter, and I was like, oh, that's just a rumor. That's just a rumor. That ain't got no validity to it. Even though the guy that was talking about it, he was like standing 10 toes down about it. He was like, no, this is real. I tried to tell y'all that this was real. And I was like, oh, I don't know who that is, so I can't really get too hyped about it. I saw some other people talking about it and whatnot, but I was like, okay, whatever. But Jeff Zrebe confirmed it. And that was about the Ravens' interest in cornerback Darius Slay. Because if you remember Darius Slay, he obviously been with the Eagles for a little bit, but it was said that the Eagles were trying to come up with some kind of contract extension with him, or else they were going to release him. Then it was said that, okay, they were going to release Darius Slay. He was going to be a free agent. And I was like, oh, wow. And I know some people even sent in some questions from subscribers. Oh, imagine Darius Slay and Marlon Humphrey opposite each other. And I was like, oh, yeah, that'd be nice. But at the same time, I didn't see the Ravens doing it. But then at the same time, I was like, but it is a defensive player. So you know how Ravens are when it comes to that. They will do anything and everything for a defensive player. But then it ended up coming out that they weren't going to release him. It was announced that they were going to release him, but then they came out, oh, no, no, no, we're not going to release him. And then they came out with a contract agreement. So he's remaining with the Philadelphia Eagles. But I had seen this guy say, oh, Ravens were all over that. Ravens were interested in that. And again, I saw who it was from and I was like, oh, I don't know who that is. Then I even saw some of the replies to his tweets and stuff and people like, oh, you keep taking all these shots. You better stop soon. I was like, oh, yikes. But apparently he was right. Let's read the part of the article from Jeff Zribick. He said, and let's be clear here that the Ravens haven't signed any big ticket free agents. Doesn't mean they can't or won't. See, I like that part. And this is just an excerpt from the article from the Athletics. Shout out to Jeff Zribick, by the way. But he let it be known. Like it's not that they can't or it doesn't mean that they won't. So he's basically saying like, hey, if they want to sign some big name for people or person, they can if they want to. They can make it happen. And that's the same thing we've been saying on here. Like, hey, if there's a way, if there's really a will, there's a way, there's a way. You can get created with this stuff, but if you want to make it happen, you can make it happen. But anyway, continuing, he said, there were signs that they had significant interest in cornerback Darius Slay when it appeared that Philadelphia Eagles were going to release him. Slay and the Eagles wound up working out an extension, and the Ravens met a couple of days later with free agent Rock Yacin, a 26 year old starting cornerback like Yacin won't come all that cheap. Really I felt like he would come cheap. Definitely cheap in Darius Slay. But anyway, that's when I saw that, I was like, whoa, whoa, really, really, and see, but it got me to thinking. But I guess this can sort of give Ravens fans some hope when they hear about the Ravens being interested in the DeAndre Hopkins call a sudden Odell Beckham, Jr., or if all those, or if all those guys are a smokescreen for somebody who they really interested in. I was like, wow, when this first came out, because this was before they will say that the Ray was really in a DeAndre and all them like that. I was thinking like, great, that would be cool. That'd be, that'd be awesome. Marlon Humphrey, Darius Slay, ooh, nice. But where's this energy for offense? Where's this willingness for the offense? Where's this strategy for the offense, specifically at the wide receiver position? Because it's been said by the Ravens directly, hey, you can never have enough corners. You can never have enough corners. And hey, we as Ravens fans, we know that because the Ravens could be prepared more than ever at the cornerback position. Like even last the first couple of years, it happens every year, Ravens come prepare that cornerback. It's like, all right. If we say healthy, hey, we got a squad at cornerback, baby, every year, usually they like set, but then somebody gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt. It always ends up happening like that. But the fact is that they go into the season prepared at the position every time and I love it. I love it. But if you can never have enough corners, what are these cornerbacks job? Who are they covering for their job? They're covering receivers. They got a guard receivers. So the fact that you know you can never have enough corners is because you know that receivers are important. But there's still been a lack of there. And I know that you can't have every single thing and every single play and this and that and the third, but the way that the Ravens prepare at cornerback, I just wish they would prepare at receiver that same way. I really do. I wish they were prepared to see for the same way, because if the effort that they put into the secondary, if they put that same effort into the receiver, oh, my goodness, it will be a beautiful thing. And again, this offseason, we're going to see, we're going to see, because I didn't say, hey, I'm not confident this whole time. Again, the report came out. OK, they'll beg a Jew you call this letter. I wish they would have thrown my Evans in that. Hey, look, Ravens, look, I don't know if you're watching this or not. But look, be honest with y'all, man. I know y'all like smoke streams. I know y'all love smoke streams, man. And if this whole report about you checking out the Andre and O'Dell and Courtney, if this whole thing is a smokescreen and it's a smokescreen for Mike Evans, I ain't going to be mad. I will not be mad at all. I won't be mad. Hey, I will love it. I will love it because he would actually be my first choice over all of them, over all of them, even the Andre Hopkins. Y'all know, y'all know, I love the Andre Hopkins and really wanted to get the Andre Hopkins. I mean, still do. But Mike Evans would be my number one guy. It's like the Andre. How did Mike Evans, the Andre Hopkins like when he won't be? So this is a smokescreen. Hey, have at it. Just close the deal. But anyway, I just hearing this about Darius Slay. Um, it really makes you realize and understand like, hey, if the Ravens want to do this at wide receiver, if they want to make the investment at wide receiver, they can. They can and not just be a draft picks, because they've done that. They've taken a bunch of little swings with draft picks. I said it in another video that, um, with the Ravens and wide receiver, it's like, because we know they've, they've taken the shots at wide receiver via the draft. It's been obviously two first round picks, Hollywood and Bateman. It's been a two third round picks, Miles Boykin, Devin Duvenay. It's been a fourth round pick. Tyler Wallace has been a fifth or sixth round pick in James Pro Shade. Um, am I missing anybody? I don't think so. Cause whenever they've taken receivers, they've taken two every time because Hollywood and Boykin, uh, was Bateman and was Bateman and Duvenay and Pro Shade, uh, then it was Bateman and Wallace. So there we go. All right. So six times. So okay. Hey, nice shots. Nice swinging for the fences and whatnot. But via the draft, it's like with Eric DeCosta, he's taken like these three point shots from half court. Cause hey, some of them might go in, some of them might, he might make some of them. But there's much, there's a far less chance that those shots going. There's a far less chance that he makes those. You still shooting though. Hey, so that's good. You're still taking a shot. But there've been plenty of layup opportunities that they just ain't going for, they just haven't, um, and with the layup is more of a short thing. You could, you got the opportunity to miss a layup. You miss a layup, but it's way less likely that you miss a layup versus a half court shot. So anyway, um, let's see, let's see if Eric DeCosta with the receiver room, he ends up making a layup because I feel like the Andre Hopkins will be a layup. Um, Odell Beckham, Jr., like Odell Beckham, Jr. will be a free throw, depending on the end with the injuries and stuff. Uh, Coral and Sutton, he had been a little banged up too. I really, all three of them do, they have been a little banged up. That's what Mike Evans, that's, that's why he would be my one A because he been really healthy man for the most part. I mean, he did, he did. I think he missed a little bit of time last year, like a little bit maybe, but he'd been pretty healthy overall. Um, so with him, like, Hey, I, and what 6465 and he could move, he could jump physical, like, man, but my only question is who would be throwing him the bottle? That'd be the only thing that I just, I don't know about. I don't know who'd be tossing him the rock. Who'd be throwing him the pill. I don't know whether that's going to be Lamar. It's going to be somebody else. That question, um, that's to be determined. Um, but we'll see how things go. Anyway, team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And, Hey, Ravens, try for Darius. Well, they didn't try for Darius, they, but they were seriously interested in Darius sleigh. Um, so again, while that is nice to know, and I know for some Ravens fans that burns like crazy, it hurts. Cause they're like, oh, we could have that day. It's like, but it should give you a little bit of hope when it comes to their next move, whatever the next move is going to be, uh, at the wide receiver position. So will it be done? We'll see. Can it be done? Yes.
