 Don't know man. It seems like JK Dobbins and the Ravens are in sort of this Weird place right now, and maybe it's just me. Maybe it's coincidental. I don't know But stuff seems like it's really strange right now. Now, of course Media day Media day that's when all the players they showed up and stuff They were taking the pictures. They were shooting the videos and whatnot. They were doing everything for media And JK Dobbins was then we talked about it that day that that was a nice little shock And I a nice news for the Ravens that JK Dobbins has showed up And I was like, all right Well, we're gonna be seeing JK Dobbins at minicamp and whatnot and he was making the cuts for media day and all that I'm doing his running back stuff and I was like, all right, let's go Then we see no signs of a man minicamp at all nothing And I was like, oh, well, okay Todd Monk and said that he was hoping to see JK Dobbins out there give him something to get excited about He said run a wheel around or something But no, there was no JK Dobbins there But that ain't really what had me tripping that much. It was really a John hardball today When he was asked about JK Dobbins, he said he had he had expected him to practice But it just wasn't in the cards and it was just the way that hardball said it to me It just seemed like there was just seemed like there was a disconnect between him and JK Dobbins And how about like how about the coach when and he's shown it to us before I mean, he only been coaching the Ravens for what since 2008. So today it's 14 15 years So it's been a little while so I think a lot of us kind of know hardball maybe but If he's like if he's in sync with you if he's in tune with you what not if he got your back or whatnot He gonna hold it down He gonna hold it down. But if y'all not on the same page, even if it's temporarily A lot of times it can be shown through his words the way that he speaks about you And that's what it seemed like today listen to the press again. Let me know if it's just me But that's what it seemed like today. It seemed like There's just a disconnect right now Because he sort of made it seem like well a I was thinking it was gonna be one thing But then it ended up being something completely different. So we'll see he said he'll probably be ready for training camp. So that's good That's nice But I don't know. It just seemed like they're in a real weird spot and again We got we got to go back to the very end of last season how last season ended With JK with his frustration talking about how he wanted to be the guy Like he said he was tired of holding it back He said he talked to some people on the sidelines and stuff. Are you tired of holding it back? I need to be the guy and that's of course when He didn't really get that much work uh in the playoffs and then like especially in the red zone and stuff With y'all y'all know how it went. We remember But I don't know it seemed like they in a weird spot, but then even the other day um In the press of the other day somebody asked uh John Harbaugh like how jk dobbins would fit Into the new offense and I forget exactly what John Harbaugh said But his answer to me again, let me know if it's just me or if y'all saw or heard it too But his answer to me made it seem like uh, like they would really have to find a spot for him It didn't feel like uh, jk dobbins would be the guy Now I was we've talked about it before and he I was just talking to my guy jason about it the other day too um, I feel like with with uh jk dobbins Um, oh no, it's talking to my guy uh david about it. My god david But I was telling him with with jk dobbins. It sucks because it seemed like he was getting ready to get the keys A couple years ago. It seemed like it was getting ready to be His offense. I was not his offense, but he was going to be the feature running back for the east baltimore ravens That's what it seemed like But then what was it 2020? I think it was 2020 No, 2021 2021 Yeah, yeah 2021 Let's seem like they were gonna be like, all right jk here. It's all you baby. It's all yours But then he got the injury on the the week three of the preseason against the commanders on that screen pass Where that ended his season because that that's where it was really like, all right It's getting ready to be jk's time But then that messed him up and then last year Uh, it just seemed from that point on like the ravens are like, all right, we Like almost like they couldn't trust him or something like that um To be the guy to hold it down all the way and because after ray rice like ravens have done They've done a lot of running back back to me I mean, they they did had a justin four set. He I guess he was the guy for them. They had the alice collins um, but besides those two It's been a lot of running back by a committee And just right when it seemed like they were gonna go away from that a bit Or they did have mark ingham too. I mean mark ingham did this thing But that was running back by committee, but mark ingham was the guy running back for them So I guess they have done had a main guy here and there But it seemed like jk dobbins was getting ready to be their next main guy but Then the injuries happening that seemed to be the end of that but I just really wonder what's going on right now and hopefully Hopefully this is just nothing. Hopefully this is me just overthinking something right now. Who knows? But um, again with the tweets The tweets I hate to go back to those tweets But we got to go back to those tweets with jk dobbins talking about his future with the ravens and stuff like Stuff like that. You don't just say out of nowhere Stuff like that. You don't just say for no reason stuff like that. You don't just say out the blue like oh, you know what? Randomly, I want to tweet about my future with the baltimore ravens. You know, okay. Let's have at it. No So again, I wonder if there was a uh, a conversation about that now, um my guy, uh My idea if he had uh, he had hit me up a couple days ago Just talking about running backs in general And how it just They they get treated like nothing nowadays All right, and let's look to to what he said he said The running back market is absolutely disgusting They really get treated like nothing Davencook put up monster numbers in four years and is getting cut for his contract being too big Which really isn't for a guy who's a top five running back. I feel really bad to know To how to run an nfl treats running backs basically after your rookie year You may never even see another contract go after your rookie contract. I think you meant I say lennon for net 27 years old and still free agent zeke davencook Only has interest. He hasn't even been brought in for contract negotiations with anyone James robinson just got cut who was on a two year four million dollar deal Who's 24 years old feel like something should change for these guys Maybe some more money on contracts or incentives after you've been out the league I don't know but with how running backs, uh are being treated How do you think the ravens will address jk dobbs and gust edwards with the expiring deals soon? That's a really good question That's a really good question and I told him like like with running backs That's unfortunately, uh, the market right now, man That's that's the market right now the the and not even just the just the nfl in general Because the way that they look at running backs is like, all right You're nice whether we drafted you undrafted you but you're nice. Okay. You did this force You made some plays. Okay, cool. Oh, you're getting a look expensive now. Uh I think we can still get some good production Out of a running back, but for a lot cheaper So a lot of teams will go the undrafted free agent route. The lot of teams will go the late round pick route like even Isaiah oh from the chiefs. I know I'm messing up his name Pacheco I know I messed up his name y'all know who I'm talking about my apologies I think he was like a sixth or seventh round pick for the chiefs And he ended up starting over clad that was a layer clad that was a layer was a first round pick Um, but he was a sixth or seventh round pick Ended up helping them run their way to the Super Bowl I mean they did a lot more than running, but he was a big part of what they did so Teams are looking around and like hey, we we can get production Out of backs and we ain't got to pay for it like that. Oh, yeah sign us up all day Even mark any mark in was on a three year five million per Three million 15 million dollar deal three year 15 million dollar deal. So five mil per And Ravens cut them I said, oh, oh He ain't got to worry about finishing that one. Bye And because the other running backs are getting paid cheaper and they could get more production out of them They like oh mark anymore. Okay. See you. Love you. Thank you for everything big trust but see you That's nature to business man. That's the business with with running backs But as far as um, jk dobbins and gust Edwards I really don't know I really don't know and it's uh It's something to think about because again, both of them are at the end of the deals jk dobbins last year last year His contract gust Edwards. They reworked this year, but I believe he's still in the last year of his contract So Things could be changing big time. Remember gust Edwards undrafted free agent They signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent jk dobbins was probably the most investment that they spent at running back in a long time and him being a second round pick Other guys that they brought in justice hill. He was a fourth round pick um Alex Collins they signed him off of Seattle's practice squad. I believe um Terrence west was a free agent I know i'm like skipping like a generation of running backs for the Ravens because I'll be forgetting But um, just in force set He was uh, he was a free agent um I know i'm just i'm i'm like missing so many people like this There's this big gap in my mind right now that I just can't remember a lot of the running backs that the ravens had over the years but Oh, well mark angraham. He was a free agent Uh, but yeah, man, but as far as jk dobbins and gust Edwards. I don't even know what to think about what's gonna happen with them I I have no clue No clue at all It's funny. Uh, why are we talking about this? My guy, um I got Tariq send me a video from good morning football. I don't know if y'all caught it and Uh, Leonard four net was on there Leonard four net was on there and he was talking about Odell Beckham junior and stuff and he was on there with Peter Shraggs and uh and two other people I forget who the other two people were my apologies Um, but if they wanted talking about obj and stuff. He was like, yeah last time obj Um, last time he was playing and stuff. He looked good and he was making dudes look silly And he was only doing it with one leg But now he's healthy and whatnot. So they're talking about how they were looking forward to him with the ravens and stuff and The one of the co-hosts a woman she asked, uh, again, I forgot who what her name was my apologies But she's like man Leonard four net that You you're grinning. You're really smiling about obj and the ravens and Peter Shraggs and Leonard four net was just he's like And Peter Shraggs was like he said, oh, that's that's because the ravens. That's because they've been calling them And then he's like, uh, then they changed the subject real quick and I was like, whoa Because and and I told my god, Tariq Tariq. I was like, they really just slipped that in there like that He's like, hey, they did And say, I don't know. Are they really calling Leonard for that? I guess we'll see eventually But um, I just thought that was interesting and then later on in that same segment um Leonard four net they were talking still talking about the ravens and then uh Shraggs was like, oh, he's like Leonard four net He's gonna be probably he's probably gonna get signed by the end of this segment. He's like, oh, is that is that air the costume? Is that is that the cost on your line? He's like he's gonna end up playing with the ravens or something like that But anyway, they kind of transformed it into a joke But it's one of those things where it's like are they joking or I don't know I guess it's one of them things we'll just have to wait and see and find out But again back to my god day of his um his point about the running backs That's just where the NFL is right now, man They they put so much emphasis on it being a passing league which it is But running a ball is still important But it's in a different place than it was years ago. That's not what the NFL wants That's not what the NFL focuses on the NFL is different. The NFL is forever changer Um, you still should be able to run a ball and it's nice when you can run a ball, but the focus is on passing Um, so we're running backs again. They treat it like an afterthought even with full backs too. You think about full backs um And patrick ricotta think that they said he's gonna be starting training camp on the the pup Because he's having what did they say hip surgery? They said he's having some I forgot what what it was But so he's gonna start the training camp on the physically unable to perform this um But even full backs full backs is like a dying breed a lot of teams don't even carry full back anymore A lot of things that they don't even do it. Sometimes they they will use Teams just use no full backs sometimes they'll use a tight end as a full back in certain situations and whatnot But a lot of teams they don't even carry full backs So it's just we're running the ball again. It's NFL is they they they just change so much With the rule changes and whatnot. It's um It's just different than what it used to be even five six years ago Especially 10 11 years ago. It's much different than what it used to be So Yeah, man Just thought it was a very uh very interesting topic that my god dad brought up because it's something that we think about a lot Um, and we see it. We we see how the NFL operates. We see how the ravens operate at the position and whatnot Um, so it was just something that's important to uh to keep in mind. It's funny though, too Speaking about my god Tariq. Um, I had told him a couple years ago I told him that like look man. I just the way that the NFL been changing the way that the rules and stuff I could see them taking the kickoff out I could see them taking the kickoff out in the next two to three years and I told him this about maybe like three years ago Told him I got to see the NFL taking the kickoff out Just because they they talk about safety this and say even though a lot of stuff they do Is not safe, but I could see them taking that out And they haven't taken it out So it lasted past the two three years and whatnot, but I don't know it still does seem like it could be trending that way Especially with the new fair catch rule, which is It's like, uh everything But anyway, so we'll see But team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all as far as jk diving specifically I really hope that All this whatever it is gets cleared up and hopefully it's just a bunch of nothing Hopefully it's just me overthinking. Hopefully it's just a bunch of nothing But to me, it don't seem like it's a bunch of nothing It just seemed like they are in a very strange place To me, that's what it seems like as far as Ravens and jk dolphins and whatnot. So You can hopefully whatever it is if it is something that can get worked out Um, and we'll see we'll just see how things go team keeping clean. I love y'all so much I appreciate y'all make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss anything and hey, that's it the mini camp is over Next time you see these Baltimore Ravens, it will be for training camp. So that is towards the middle end of july so yeah Should be fun. Love y'all. We're still gonna keep y'all locked in throughout the entire summer Throughout their entire break even though they're gonna be getting the break We still got y'all backs man. I love y'all appreciate y'all and just like the Ravens are for about a month and a half We out
