 Are we good? Is it is it safe to show up now? Can we talk about this and be rational about it because I had to wait a couple of hours to let people cool down I know people was going crazy. There's a lot of fire ADC and all that whoa hold on now, buddy I get some frustration, but let's still be reasonable about it So the trade that line came and went and the Baltimore Ravens they did not do a thing Apparently they were interested in some people apparently they made some phone calls and whatnot and they were interested in some positions where I was like Oh, okay now. I'm mad at it, but um nothing got done and I know for me personally I was not mad that nothing got done, but I was a bit disappointed now Y'all have continued to hear me say and I still do believe it said it before the trade that line I say it after I do feel like the Baltimore Ravens. They are a good enough team to win the Superbowl I feel like they're a good enough team with how they are especially if they get even healthier because they still got guys coming back but I feel like they're a good enough team now to win but I Certainly was not and will never be against adding more talent and I really felt like they were gonna add more talent I mean, I feel like us as Baltimore Ravens fans, especially over the past couple of years We have been spoiled Almost at the trade deadline when it's come to whether the trade deadline I really just every year with Eric D'Costa usually making a move usually making a trade or whatnot Acquiring somebody who makes a big impact on the team. So going into this trade deadline. I figured. Oh, yeah It's gonna happen for sure. I mean Eric D'Costa even talked about it early on this season Like yeah, we we want to be active all up until the deadline and whatnot. So I'm like all right EDC I'm looking forward to it, but we just we didn't end up seeing anything. We saw Chase Young go to The 49ers for a third round conditional third round pick and I was like, oh, we saw Montez wet go to the Bears for a second round pick But the Neil Hunter he stayed with the Vikings. I was like, okay If he ain't going to the Ravens on him going nowhere He could stay in that purple and then we'll talk next year when he's a free agent But anyway, I just really thought that the Baltimore Ravens were gonna do something and they didn't do Anything at all But this is not a bad team we could context is important And I mean you don't even need a crazy amount of context to realize why they're fine Because they're six and two there's six and two and if you watch the games You could see how they could have easily been now I don't like the whole coulda woulda shoulda and oh if this to happen if x y and z happened and this would have been I don't like that, but You could if you watch the games you could see how this team could easily be eight and oh They could easily be eight and no if they weren't their own worst enemy if they clean a lot of stuff up especially earlier Oh my goodness They will be rolling right now But again with all the issues that they've had with all the problems that they've had It's sitting at six and two and what we would have loved that they would have got even stronger by adding somebody of some significance to this football team, but They didn't and now we we gots to move on now something that I thought was interesting some that Jocina Anderson said Before the trade deadline had arrived She said my understanding is that the Baltimore Ravens entered this process towards the deadline Vigilant to the market at running back. So they wanted to add a running back, but it wasn't done there Past Russia. So that's something that we figured to now with the rumors about running back We figured that they wanted to add one there and then we with them with past Russia We knew that too with them wanting to them thought haven't talked to an endemic ensue We knew that they wanted to add some more to the defensive line But also she said even at wide receiver and now that part. I was like Whoa, okay Like what would I wonder what the Baltimore Ravens were trying? What would they have attempted? Who would they have tried to get like what was that about? Because I know a lot of fans have said it like oh Raven should add a wide receiver They should trade for a wide receiver, but I know like sometimes those fans. We just be talking who we want everybody. I know I want everybody Y'all know me. I'm greedy. I want everybody But you'll see the confirming that the Baltimore Raven like they really tried to trade for a wide receipt They were looking at all of those options. I'm like, oh, okay But she said though pickings at that position why receiver are notably thinner. Yeah We'll see how calls continue to evolve their overall interest So obviously the price has to be right for any potential trade prospects Ravens are six and two first in the AFC North and already in great position But the goal is a championship clearly Certainly is and again I do feel like they have already made enough moves to get there But you know one more move even to one move that certainly would not have hurt at all Now we do have a couple of questions because you know team keep it clean Always want to chime in on what's going on with the Baltimore Ravens first one came from my guy Java He said do you think if we had Ozzie a deal would have been made? No, not necessarily Erick the costa has been a lot more aggressive than Ozzie newsman I know whenever people get frustrated with Eric the costa not saying that you're doing it Java But just using it as an example whenever a lot of people get frustrated with something that Eric the costa does or does not do First thing they do Oh Ozzie knows me when I done that or Ozzie knows them would have done There's a lot of you know what I got that done as far as trades and stuff acquiring talent like that that wasn't Ozzie Newsom's big specialty man and It's funny because Jeff's Rebek Jeff's Rebek let it be known too because somebody had tweeted him and they said Ozzie gets a deal done man I don't know why I'm upset and Jeff's Rebek replied to that He said you can be frustrated and disappointed all of that But let's not talk nonsense here The costa has made more relevant trade deadline deals in five years Then Ozzie did in his entire time as the Draven's general manager Ozzie's only real notable pre deadline deal was trading for Eugene Munn role Jeff why you had to kill him like that? but Again, Jeff is right like and that's not a shot at Ozzie or anything like that Of course, it's not a shot at Ozzie got all the respect in the world for mr. Ozzie Newsom But Ozzie just moved a lot differently than Eric the costa has when it's come to Just building the roster the way that they go about things, but especially when it's come to trades Now another question came from my guy Anthony. He said first. Hope you and your family are doing well I appreciate that aunt and he said second. How do you feel? Oh, excuse me. You know what back up back up back up because my guy java still has some more questions He said what deal did you want to happen for me? I wanted the Neil Hunter that was a deal that I wanted the most but I wouldn't have been mad if they would add a running back I know that had been some talk about possibly them being interested in Josh Jacobs And there were some rumors going around that the Raiders wanted a second round pick for Josh Jacobs now Some people have said that the Ravens They weren't willing to give a second round They weren't willing to give us up a second round pick in a trade period But jeff's rebuke he cleared that up too because Right here on revolutionary film studios tweeted at jeff. He said while I agree with you jeff about the Ozzy newsman Eric the costa comment He said if the sources are true saying that the Raiders wanted a second round pick then it speaks volumes They haven't hit on the second round pick the Baltimore Ravens in a long time I can see the frustration in fans, but also understanding that getting Josh Jacobs is only a rental and jeff cleared it up right here. He said I don't spend a Time debunking reports, but that one was not accurate They weren't against trading a second rounder necessarily in the right situation So jeff letting it be known like hey ravens if they wanted to make a trade and they wanted to use a second round They didn't they had no problem using a second round pick if it was to facilitate a trade But it had to be for the right situation I mean and that's clearly easy to see because you look last year Roquan smith they traded a second round pick and change They traded a linebacker a second round pick and I think either a fifth or sixth round pick to acquire roquan smith So they sent a second and more just to get him It obviously paid off immediately, you know short and long term. I mean, we we still reaping the benefits of that one Um, so they showed that they are willing for the right player You know right player right price Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, but they showed that they were willing to Move off a second round pick for the right player, but Josh Jacobs apparently was not that so with their running back situation Gus Edwards Justice hill keaton michael Those of you guys practice squad on right you got melvin gordon Drake is gone now since ravens cut him from the practice squad like a week and a half ago And then he just signed to the browns Today So that was that and um my god java also said would you have given the right? Oh, I should have just read this I didn't even see that he wrote that. He said would you have given the rate as a second round for jaco's if you're not going to Resign him Uh, no Probably not. Um, I feel like with with josh, josh a little bit nice. He would be nice But if you not planning on resigning them uh No, probably not especially at the running back position. No, I probably wouldn't have done that. Um, So anyway, next question came from my guy and then he said first. Hope you and the family are doing well And again, yes, we are doing wonderful. Appreciate it. He said second. How do you feel, uh, how do you feel? About the ravens not making a trade me. I'm fine with it. And if people aren't that's okay You're right We keep all our picks and you know edc likes to double dip in the first round It also gives up an opportunity to trade up for a player when the new league year starts because we have a good amount of picks Most of the running backs like josh jaco delvin cooking some others are on one of your deals And will be free agents. Do you think the ravens made the right choice? That's a really really good question, especially the way that you put it and the way that you phrased everything Do I think the ravens made the right choice? um And not making any moves I don't necessarily think it's the right or the wrong choice Um, but I would have preferred that they did add Even more now with the running back position or something that people have brought up like oh What about gust Edwards and his injuries that he sustained recently and that is something to think about because If hopefully he doesn't but if gusts were to go down then how would the running back situation be looking? Melvin gordon and justice hill and then keyton mitzsche Like and we want to see keyton mitzsche get more of a shot and i'm sure that will happen over the next couple of weeks But it's something that you got to think about and it's something that a lot of people had thought about And it seemed like the ravens had thought about it too because apparently they were trying but They just weren't able to get it done. So I um I don't necessarily feel like they made a Right or wrong move, but I I would have preferred that they did make a move to make a strong team Uh even stronger now a lot of one of the biggest ways that they can get even stronger in my opinion Is just by playing better. Um, that's one of the biggest ways that they can get strong by playing better and and getting healthier as well Right now you're missing still a good amount of guys You're missing uh, marcus williams who was your starting safety when he comes back We'll see about that. It may be an awkward conversation Maybe a humbling conversation too, but you're missing marcus williams. You tire's bowser. Who knows john harbaugh did say Things seem better with tires bowser, but he didn't have an update. It doesn't know yet So we'll see maybe tomorrow if we'll get an update on that. Um, you're still missing david ajiabo So he got those guys coming back pepe williams. He said that uh pepe is close He said malik ham a linebacker. He's close So strong positions for the baltimore ravens Are looking to get even stronger in the coming weeks possibly days, but definitely in the coming weeks So that's a good thing That's a good thing now again. We well, I can't speak for everybody But I wish that they would have added even more via the trade, but They didn't but and and that's okay. So now this is it This is your team and it's funny too one one one thing is uh the baltimore ravens I think 19 minutes after the trade deadline. So at 4 19 p.m. Eastern time, uh the baltimore So many ravens man, they just knew it too. They knew it. I had tweeted out at three o'clock p.m I'm like, all right. This is eric the cost of the hour. This edc hour What you what you got for us man? And I really thought that they were gonna come through with something I I just knew baltimore ravens were gonna make a deal I just knew it But they didn't and the time came and went and that was that Um, but a lot of people replied to that even before it was four o'clock And they were like, oh no ravens ain't doing nothing Ravens ain't about to do nothing And then a lot of people were tweeting out whether it was a reply to my tweet or a reply to other tweets They were saying, oh, we like our guys. We like our guys Just sort of mocking john harbaugh a bit when he says that oh, we like our guys I went eric the cousin said that we like our guys and guess what the tweet said from the baltimore ravens that they put out At 4 19 p.m. Again 19 20 minutes after the deadline That the tweet that they put out it says the ravens really like this team So basically saying the same that we like our guys. So I thought that was funny. It was almost Like the baltimore ravens was like trolling everybody a little bit But um, some people said oh man, y'all done had this video edited for weeks So y'all knew the raven weren't gonna make a move but Now it's it's all good man. It is just it's part of business man. You you could try You're not always going to have successful deals You're not always going to be able to Push that last thing through that makes the deal go through it makes the deal complete to the other team It does take two to tango it takes two to make an agreement It can't just be one sided And hey the baltimore ravens just they weren't able to get it done this year. Unfortunately now what i'm looking forward to But at the same time not looking forward to is hearing how they were close on somebody We already heard how they were close on derrick henry heard some stuff about how they were talking to the raiders about Josh jacob's but i'm i'm waiting to see what else we end up hearing because you know, it always happens It always happens like this We always hear about oh the baltimore ravens were this close to making a deal with x y and z But this happened and it all fell apart So again, I'm just wondering if we're gonna get any more of that coming soon But something that y'all can get some more of is your own varsity jackets If you want to you can go to the link in the description It's stand with us clothing.com if you want 10 off these jackets like this The purple and black one like i'm wearing or the gray and black or the white all of you want 10 off You use cold engraving team keeping clean.
