 It's a random thought what is ESPN stand for because I did not if somebody would ask me that like on a test or something And it didn't have multiple choice. I would not even if it did have multiple choice I don't know what ESPN stands for but anyway yesterday was a crazy day in the world of the Baltimore Ravens in their world of wide receivers a lot of receiver talk yesterday because there was a lot of receiver action yesterday The Ravens they signed wide receiver Mike Thomas to the practice squad not who that Mike Thomas, but who they Mike Thomas who a former who they Mike Thomas They signed him to the practice squad that had a lot of us scratching on his like What they do that for and then like an hour later came out that the Ravens put in a claim and they got Sammy Watkins who had just been released from the Packers a day before and it was like oh Okay, you got Sammy Watkins and it was one of those moves where it's like you think it's gonna happen But at the same time, it's like I don't think the Ravens are they are they gonna actually it will be very raving at them to do it But are they actually gonna do and they did it they did it So it had a lot of us scratching on heads But then we found out the news about Devon Duvenay and him probably getting ready to be out for the rest of the year now There's one kicker to that if if it's a serious injury and he's done for the year Then he can't come back but if because they placed him on in reserve so he estimates at least the next four games now If he was ready after game four then that would mean and the Ravens obviously were in a position to bring him back That would mean that the Ravens they won a playoff game Because they have already been mathematically eliminated to get the number one sees they ain't having no bye week So they they play in the week one of the playoffs they play But if he could come back that would mean the Ravens won and they advance so we'll see what happens We'll see what happens, but I'm not expecting him to be in a position to come back. But anyway, um, John hobo There was a presser that the Ravens had a couple of weeks ago when Odell Beckham news first off flowing around and stuff And Jocina Anderson she reported that the Ravens were a team that had been in communication with Odell Beckham, Jr. Again, Jocina Anderson, she has been covering this Odell Beckham, Jr. thing from jump And of course it's been seeming like the Cowboys have been doing everything In their power to try to get other teams to stay away from Odell Beckham, Jr. Because they want them all for themselves because it's like one of those things with the Cowboys It's like if we can't have them then you can't either that's what it seems like Because Cowboys were doing all this public flirting with Odell Beckham, Jr. Oh, we like Odell Beckham, Jr. Oh, we want to do one of the Beckham, Jr to join us. It was coming from Jerry Jones himself It was coming from media is coming from different players and whatnot Oh, we would love Odell Beckham, Jr. to come join us and then Jerry Jones even last week Or was it earlier this week where he said oh a deal is imminent We gonna sign Odell Beckham, Jr. He's gonna be joining us Okay, and nothing happened nothing happened and then of course before that He Odell Beckham, Jr. Had visited with the bills he visited with the Giants and he visited with the Cowboys and Everybody but the Cowboys they were they were hush hush on Odell Beckham, Jr. But the Cowboys were like no hey his medicals ain't clearing it ain't looking like Odell Beckham, Jr. Is gonna even play I don't know how his knees holding up it ain't looking too good That only came from the Cowboys so it seemed like Cowboys were really trying to shot people away from Odell Beckham, Jr. But back to the initial report that talked about the Cowboys Giants and bills being interested in Odell Beckham, Jr. It also listed two more teams being interested in him as well and being in conversation with him and that was the chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens And then jocina Anderson as time continued to go on she also reported that the Ravens had remained in Conversation with Odell Beckham, Jr. And now yesterday rich Eisen he continued to confirm what jocina Anderson said That the Ravens are still talking not only just the Ravens talking to Odell Beckham, Jr. But the Ravens leader their leader of men has been talking to Odell Beckham, Jr. Let's just read the report verbatim from rich Eisen so show He said if you're wondering who the mystery team is on the OBJ sleepstakes Rich Eisen just revealed that during the production meeting for Baltimore versus Cleveland week 14 game John Harbaugh said He talked to Odell about joining Ravens flock So John Harbaugh said it Harbaugh and we remember that presser from Yeah, like two weeks ago where Harbaugh was like, oh, no, we we haven't even had conversations about Odell Beckham, Jr. That's we're not thinking about that hasn't crossed our minds. Not on our plans You know, it's funny when we did our review of that presser Somebody in the comment section said oh So this means that they are talking to Odell Beckham, Jr. because when Harbaugh says something you got to go with the opposite especially when he says something so Direct and looks like whoever said that was right Whoever said that was right. So the Ravens seem to remain interested in Odell Beckham, Jr. And Ravens like They're assembling they assembling is an interesting squad man. They really are I saw somebody say man If this was 2014 who Raven will be killing it because they talked about especially with this John Jackson and Sammy Watkins or whatnot, but Ravens receiver room is it's really interesting. It's a very interesting Unit and it's a unit that has changed a lot over time. And hey, will will they bring on Odell Beckham, Jr. At this point, I don't even know. I don't even know. Yeah, remember before I said that I did not think it was gonna happen Odell joining the Ravens Because again it like what can he really contribute this year in order to talk? Oh, yeah, the most recent talk has been that he is not looking to play in the regular season And that he would just really be playing in the playoffs But he will spend the rest of the regular season really getting acclimated to the team and whatnot but what I Just I just have as even if he did join the Ravens I would just still have such a hard time thinking. Oh, we got Odell Oh, well, well now that I really push us over the top now He would definitely take a little bit of attention away from Mark All the attention been on Mark Andrews all of it all of it like and I know Mark Andrews is a big reason why so many people kept saying hey, the Ravens don't need wide receivers, buddy We got wide receiver one, buddy And my argument was hey Mark Andrews is great But what happens when Mark Andrews gets taken out of a game as he has been taken out a lot of them this season You see the results now Ravens are nine and five They're nine and five and it is a beautiful thing, especially with everything that they have had going on Even with the the missteps that they took we're building this roster overall like mostly that they did a pretty good job of building the roster over but Yeah, there's there's a couple positions where it was like, okay And again, I said it before the season my biggest question marks going into this season was at wide receiver and Inside linebacker And they they address one of them big time Obviously with the addition of Roquon Smith, and you know, huh? He ain't going no way Especially with them wanting to resign him before the season is up But then there's wide receiver and Okay, all right cool and now the Ravens are scrambling now We know injuries did definitely happen the injuries have affected them big time with Bateman has been unfortunate and then Now we're duvening. It's like man They lost Tyler Wallace to Harbaugh said that Tyler Wallace could actually come back But it's it's been rough, man I know everybody put the stat out that the Ravens or wide receivers ain't caught a touchdown since week Not week three. Who's a week six? I don't even remember. It's been what is it? It's been a little 10 weeks 11. I don't remember what it is, but I keep seeing it floating around I forgot what the exact number is there been opportunities for them to catch touchdowns Sometimes been the drop sometimes been Lamar missed them. Sometimes it's been they slowed up Sometimes been Huntley ain't got it to him. It's it's been all kinds of reasons But you put all that together and it's the same result There's been a lack of production again It's not just the receivers themselves is of course the scheming what not and we know how that goes But the fact that the Ravens is still scrambling around for receivers and It's like when do you learn your lesson? What is it gonna take for you to learn your lesson? What does it take? Well, what's it gonna take and hop on remember? Hey, I Can't quote it cuz I don't remember the early this year We're not gonna beg why receivers to come play for the Ravens if you want to win You know, don't care about your numbers like that Come play for the Ravens. And if not We'll line up across from you and we'll beat you And now he's like again ain't gonna back from no, but this says John Hobos that he talked to Odell about joining the Ravens now not saying he was begging, but hey See, we'll see Let's see It's always interesting because somebody made up a really really good point couple people They said man the Ravens they load up on defense They load up on all these quality cornerbacks the secondary to make sure that secondary is right Obviously before injury and whatnot Marcus Peters Muller. I'm Branded Stevens, okay, they got Kyle Fuller drafted Kyle Hamilton early time markets William 70 million dollars kept Chuck Clark They got that secondary looking right But it's like the secondary their job is to shut down all these wide receivers and whatnot. It's this that's their job That's what they do lock down baby no fly zone So if Ravens no receivers matter They load up on defense to stop them, but on offense They don't load up on them And it's like huh, so it's like they know But they don't all at the same time So it's just that's that's something that's it's been a little weird But anyway with Odell Beckham, Jr. He would be an interesting ad But then I wanted to because a lot of the whole Odell Beckham, Jr. Stuff it just really seems like it's for the future Like it's for more so next year than this year Of course, he could contribute to a team this year on offense on the playoffs, but I know I just what what could he really do? What could he really do now? I think it will be one of those things where I feel like people wouldn't really respect Odell until he like Made them respect Odell and show that oh, yeah, I could still make a big play I could still get exploded I can still be explosive like I think it will be one of those and it was Ravens Hey, it couldn't hurt Couldn't hurt to take the risk couldn't hurt that it could not hurt. It could not make things worse At all it couldn't hurt But how much better could they be? But I think it will be one of those things where teams they I think they will even one-on-one initially Have a little safety help over the top, but you're not directing all this attention Told they'll back on junior until he actually shows like oh, okay. That's all they'll back from junior So where the Ravens make the move. I mean apparently they trying they're still trying But we'll see what comes of it team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all Let's see if today is as busy as yesterday work. Yes, they got crazy man They got cracker this that that that that that that that So it was see how it goes anyway appreciate y'all love y'all and like the Ravens are not When it comes to being in the OBJ sweepstakes we out
