 If you've been with us for any part of this off-season, which I appreciate shout out the team keep it clean You know something that we have preached on here. Stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready And this should be Raven's motto this off-season This should be plastered on everybody's locker on every coaches in his office Everywhere stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready and what that means is that? Be prepared be prepared and also have backup options in place just in case your regular option your initial option things fall through and Now this would be even better if Ronnie Stanley could be ready if he could be ready for the start of the year next year And according to this report from Ian rapper poor. Let's just read it He said Raven's all-pro offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley received a medical checkup recently And he's on pace to be ready for 2022 sources say Stanley played just one game last year then had another ankle surgery He'll be monitored throughout the summer, but there's optimistic He'll be good to go. I think he meant there's optimism, but it's all good So with Ian rapper poise letting it be known that Ronnie Stanley is expected to be ready for 2022 now I don't think this comes as a shock to anybody. I don't think this comes as a surprise to anybody, but I Warned you to be cautiously optimistic Hearing reports like these are great Hearing from Eric the costa like we heard a couple weeks ago when he spoke about Ronnie Stanley said he's on pace But still we gotta be careful with it great but We can hear every single report in the world that we want to listen to that we want to read that we want to get Updated on and that's fine. It's nice to hear encouraging good news, which is great, but the ultimate Like the ultimate proof the ultimate deciding factor will be us seeing Ronnie Stanley on the field with our own eyes Whether it's training camp whether it's free or it ain't gonna be preseason I don't think Ravens playing any starters in preseason at all anymore, but we'll see but week one That's when all of this these reports. That's when they'll mean the most Because again, like I said, it's nice. It's nice for ears and a nice for eyes. Oh, yeah, Ronnie Sammy's doing good. Oh great great job. And we hope that he continues to do well We hope that he does even better than expected But we gots to see him on the field. This is why it's very important for the Ravens to go at this thing Like he's a bonus So far they've are they signed Morgan Motas So, okay, cool. Cool. I like this sign. They kept Joanne James, which that one I was a little surprised on but I'm like, all right, cool. No problem and Hopefully that'll be another bonus that you get so you so you can have options They have course re-signed Pat McCary during the season. So he'll be an option. They got Tyree Phillips Was Davis show up. They got some options back there, but we want the Ravens to have the best options in the world we want them to have the best options that they can possibly have and So more of those options could happen Starting this Thursday when it's draft time and Ian Rappaport did a follow-up tweet He said the Ravens pick at number 14 He should have put in parentheses for now But the Ravens will get pick at number 14 and while they could go in several directions The health of Ronnie Stanley could allow them to simply take the best player mmm This is why this draft is so unpredictable Because we don't know what way it's gonna go. We don't know what direction this guy that guy that guy is gonna go It just so many different things could happen so many guys could rise they could fall and and everything else in between but the the the fact of the matter is we just don't know and The Ravens could be putting some very tricky Situations when it comes to the draft Say for instance the tackles there who's one of your highest rated tackles and you feel like Ronnie Stanley is gonna come back healthy What do you do? I know 99% of y'all probably gonna say take the tackle take the tackle take the tackle And I wouldn't be mad at that taking the tackle because stay ready so you ain't got to get ready Ronnie Stanley I don't he hasn't played a four season yet and now with 18 games. Oh, that made it that much harder that much harder So this is Thursday, just it can't come here fast enough It can't get her fast enough because we are just ready to have so much of our questions answers So much stuff cleared up so much stuff like alright boom is done. Okay. I get why they did okay. I understand We're just ready We ready So Hopefully Ronnie Stanley will be just as ready as we are too So shout out to him though. We all remember the video him walking backwards on the beach I think he had like a coffee in his hand or something. I'm like, okay. Hey, whatever it takes If walking backwards on the beach if that's gonna get you to be healthy week one and that's gonna get you to stay healthy, too Hey, we all need to walk backwards on the beach. We all need to do it But it is encouraging to see him how he was walking without the limp. It was encouraging to see Tyus Bowser In that look it was a super short clip didn't we didn't even see him running anything But we saw him walking up to the facility There was no limp unless he's just a great actor, but there was no limp So that was encouraging to see and I think with with the Ravens this offseason. Oh my goodness I know especially for fans, too It's going to just be very encouraging to see players be back because last year was just Disgusting It was disgusting how many guys went out Literally like every week every week some guys went out more than once and it was just y'all y'all already know how it was It was a nasty season really nasty season And we can't expect it to be like that again literally with everybody getting hurt But that's why you got to stay ready as much as you can stay ready as much as you possibly can So you ain't got to get ready now last year again Ravens day There was no stand ready for that. Oh my goodness because you lost everybody everybody So yeah, man, this year has got to be better Then that but one way that they've been saying they stand ready. They've been changing the practices They've been changing the training and all that and that so hey, that's that's a start That's a start So they did say that they were gonna look into every avenue and really see if there was some things that they can make some Adjustments on and tweak here and there and Patrick a car talked about how they were taking less reps They were doing more work when it came to stretching and whatnot. So That's a good start. So Ravens off to a good start Let's hope that they finish even better than they started and this season ends up being a nice healthy season For everybody League why not even just Ravens But just a nice healthy season because I just hate when roster decisions have to be made do the injury and not skill It sucks. It sucks for the players. It sucks for the teams It just situations just all kinds of bad man Because you want the best 53 to be out there. You don't the 53 be out there determined by injury Unfortunately across the league it happens every year and that is still my very worst part about football is injuries Second worst of some of the rules, but first part is injuries, but anyway, I love y'all team keeper clean I appreciate y'all so much This is gonna be a crazy week You are going to see a lot of videos before the draft on Thursday. So just be prepared You're gonna get tired to see I know a lot of y'all already tired of seeing me But you're gonna get really tired of seeing me this week. I love y'all. We out
