 So it looks like we were all right about the JK Dobbins situation, especially with the video where we talked about it just seemed like the Ravens and JK Dobbins were in a really, really weird sort of place. Now, just to clear some things up, initially there was a report that came out that said JK Dobbins was holding in, but nothing said that he was holding in. He'd never confirmed if he was holding in or not. He never confirmed or even denied if he was dealing with an injury or not. And with JK Dobbins, if he was to hold in, that would be tough because his position, we talked about it yesterday, how the running back position is devalued now more than ever. And teams feel like more than ever nowadays, like, oh, you want to hold out? Oh, you don't want to play? Oh, we can get somebody like you who can do the same things you can do before a lot cheaper. So I don't feel like holding in would be the best thing for JK Dobbins to do. Had he been a quarterback, they hold out, that changes everything. Even a wide receiver in some instances, a tight end offensive lineman, but running back is just a position where it just don't hit the same like it used to. And JK Dobbins obviously got all the skill in the world. He can play, he can ball. But even if we look at his situation specifically with the Baltimore Ravens, it's tough, man. And I feel for him too, because he want to get his bread, man. He said it in an interview that he had on WJZ with Mark Viviano. He talked about this is something that we knew was going on already based off of the tweets. We know that we knew the tweets that he was putting out there. It wasn't no coincidence. But he talked about, hey, I love Baltimore, I love the city, I love the fans. I would love to stay here for my whole career, but I don't know if that's going to happen. Nobody just tweets that randomly. So there must have been some conversations about the business side. And that is something that JK Dobbins, he did confirm. He said he's been dealing with the business side. And then he just reiterated what he said in those tweets. He just he said it with his words. He said, hey, I love the city. I love the fans. I want to be here. But the business side is tough. He referenced Lamar Jackson in his situation and Howard just it wasn't always pretty because it wasn't. There were some times with Lamar Jackson, it got really, really ugly. It turned into this little back and forth, almost this mini war between Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Ravens until they finally reconciled their differences. They both compromised and they came to an agreement. But there were some times it wasn't looking so good, man. It really wasn't looking so good. I remember somebody in the comments section. And they were like, oh, we felt the same way within the video where we talked about it. I feel like the Ravens and JK Dobbins were in a really weird place. Somebody in the comments section was said, well, we felt the same thing about Lamar Jackson going into this all season. And look how that turned out. And I say, well, yeah, because they were in a weird place. They were in a very weird place because we remember like one of the biggest things was the John Harbaugh presser. The John Harbaugh presser. I think it was his pre-drive press. I think I forgot which one it was. But it's like as soon as John Harbaugh went live, as soon as he started talking, as soon as their presser started, that's when Lamar dropped the bombshell. Oh, I want to be traded for in the Ravens. And it was scary. It was very scary. But we're glad how everything worked out. Now with JK Dobbins, will everything work out the same way? Will there be that same resolution like Lamar Jackson got with the Ravens but for JK Dobbins? Right now, I honestly don't see it right now. Now, I didn't see it initially with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, but this is a much different situation because teams ain't looking at quarterbacks like, oh, we can find. Well, actually, some of them can sometimes, but depending on the quarterback, but a lot of teams ain't looking at a quarterback like, hey, well, we can find somebody else to replace you for much cheaper and get that same production. But at least the Ravens ain't looking at Lamar like that. They glad they didn't look at Lamar like that. They're thinking sometimes they were going to, but they didn't. So that was good. But with JK Dobbins, like, and I didn't even realize until I read Jameson Hensley's article about it yesterday, where he said that JK Dobbins actually has missed more games than he's played in his career. I didn't I did not even realize that. And again, you just feel for JK Dobbins because he's in such a tough spot because the position he plays, teams ain't like they ain't going all out for running backs like that no more. Like they used to. Levy on bail, he was a trendsetter. He was really trying to shift that, really trying to change the game. And he did a little bit when he got that deal with the Jets or whatnot. But he really with the Steelers, he really tried and Steelers, they just they like, no, we ain't going for it. Seguin Barclay is currently trying right now. And there was a report that came out that the the Giants had offered him a deal worth up to 14 mil per year. Obviously, we got to get like the back story and all that. And it's the details of the contract, if that's even accurate. So but he's trying. He's trying because running back is a very, very tough market for them. It's a tough market for them because nobody wants to pay running backs like that. They'll draft them. They even draft them in the first round. Jean Robinson, there was the other running back that got drafted in the first round. Got his name, my apologies. But they'll draft them. They'll draft them first round, second round, third round. They'll draft them whenever. But when it comes to paying them, Zeke got paid. He was the highest paid running back in the league. And he got cut. Ty Gurley, he was the highest paid running back in the league one time. Daven Cook, one of the best running backs in the league. He's a free agent. He got cut. So the position is just it's not it doesn't get treated how it used to. Teams don't hold the same value at running back that they used to. So that's why for J.K. Dobbins, his situation is very, very hard. It's extremely hard. Because he's in a tough position on a team that likes to run the ball. No doubt. But they do a lot of running back by committee now. Another reason it makes it so tough for him is because of the injuries that he's suffered in the past and possibly something he's going through right now. I'm not sure we don't know. But even if if he is if he isn't dealing with an injury right now, I mean, training camp is six weeks away, so we'll see then. But with J.K. Dobbins, it really did seem like and we talked about this before, it seemed like Ravens will get ready to be like, all right, J.K. Dobbins here, it's all yours in 2021. It seemed like that because he got drafted what 2020? Yeah, second round in 2020, he got drafted, I believe. And he showed some stuff that year. But then it seemed like I like J.K. Here you go. Do you take off, my friend, go do what you about to do. But then the commander's preseason game started still playing first series, by the way, very, very beginning of the game, first series, first drive, offensive line, all playing together for the first time in the preseason. And a block was missed by the center, Bradley Bowsman, I believe, and that was a wrap for J.K. Dobbins, took him out for the year. And it really seemed like that was going to be the year where he was the guy really did, but he didn't get that opportunity. Never got it. And then, as we know, last year, he came back a little late and he came back and he looked solid, but he just didn't look all the way himself. And then he had to clean up surgery. Then he came back and he looked a lot better, looked a lot more confident. And John Hallbaugh had said during the season when he got that surgery, he said, J.K. wanted that surgery because J.K. didn't feel like he was J.K. Dobbins that we all know and love. He said he didn't feel like he was himself, so he wanted that surgery. So he got it. And again, he looked better, he looked better when he came back. But he still wasn't all the way back, but just the injuries have the injuries mixed with the market. Just they make this so tough for J.K. And I feel for him big time because we know what he can do. We know what he can do. And then on top of that, too, another reason he's in such a tough position. The offense is expected to make significant changes. It's expected to go a lot more in the direction of passing more than running more. And we'll see again, my hope is that it's a game by game basis. Whatever's working, a keep at it, whatever's working. But with the shift in the possible shifting direction of the offense that could play a role, too. Somebody brought up in the comments section. They did talk about the shift in the offense, but they talked about with J.K. Dobbins, also him sharing the backfield with the combination of a shift in offense and him sharing the backfield. All that that happened. And at the same time, it's just not it is killing his leverage, man. It kills any leverage that he would have. If he were to hold out or even hold in, which I don't think he is doing. But I don't know. So I just he just in such a tough position, man, with all of those things that are going on, the market are running backs, the ravens, how they do running backs, right? Well, not how they do running backs, but just where they are at running back right now and how they've been has been running back by committee. And then with the new offense and with the injuries and then with him sharing the backfield and with all just is just a bad combination for him right now. So in my opinion, I'm no expert as y'all know, but in my opinion, the best thing that J.K. Dobbins could do the best thing is go out there and show out that that is the best thing J.K. Dobbins could do go out there. This year is contract year and a I can't I can't I can't tell somebody. Don't think about next year. Don't think about the future because of course you're going to be thinking about the future. It's a business. In this business, a lot of times you don't even know your future. So you don't know what's going to happen next year. Not even next week sometimes, but for J.K. Dobbins, I think the best thing that he could possibly do, go out there and ball out, do what you can do, make the most of every opportunity because who know the opportunities may not come as frequently as he hopes. They may not, especially with him sharing the backfield. They may not, especially with him sharing the backfield. But go out there and go do your thing and whether it ends up being with the Ravens or whether it ends up being with another team next year, go play for that contract, play for that contract and show not only the Ravens, but show the NFL why you still feel like you deserve some good money. Shoulder. Yeah, that's all you can do. Because again, his situation is so tough, but I really do hope it works out for him big time because again, we know he could play. That ain't an issue. That ain't a question. That ain't nothing right there. But now it's about, all right, what's going to happen next? What's going to happen next health-wise and then what's going to happen next contract-wise? So we'll see how it goes. Anyway, team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all so much. And I hope y'all are just being good to other people, but not only being good to other people, but being good to yourselves too. Make sure you take time out for yourself to just reflect, just be appreciative of everything and everybody in your life. Because that's important, man. It's really, really, really important. And y'all are important. So I appreciate y'all. I hope y'all are having a great Friday. I know yesterday I got a little bit rough with the news. Unfortunately, it just sucks, man. It's really sad. It's a sad world that we live in that has a lot of sad things going on every single day and we get reminders of those, whether it's from people we know, whether it's from the news, whether it's from TV, media, social media, whether it's from whatever. We get so many reminders of all the bad stuff that happens in the world on a daily. That's why I think it's so important to try as best we can to just spread positivity with people. Try to be good to people. Try to be nice to people. Try to encourage people. Try to make people's days brighter. Try to make people happy. Just whatever you can to try to just make somebody be a better version of themselves and be a happier version of themselves. Because we already get too much negativity as is. I love y'all though. I appreciate y'all and we out.
