 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video man before we get into this Y'all ever had them dreams where it they just feel so real that happened to me this morning Well last night slash this morning had a dream. I felt so real. I woke up all like sad and stuff I'm like man. It was crazy. But anyway, the Ravens they Very busy morning for them making a lot of announcements By the time you see this video, you'll probably have watched the Rashad Bateman and Marlon Humphrey Studio 44 interview they announced to Brent urban signing as well making it official even though it was kind of like already official But they announced it But they also announced that they are signing navy linebacker Diego for gold now This was one That had been announced already that he was one of the undrafted rookie free agents that they had signed But this makes it official because I mean amica mezzi He was also one of the undrafted rookie free agents that the ravens had signed and we saw had that Ended up going. I guess he turned down the ravens. He was like now I'm going back home and he signed with the uh the panthers. I believe so. Hopefully it works out well For him and he can go do his thing and hopefully make the team But anyway with Diego for gold um, he was somebody that I didn't know anything about him had heard about him But just was naive to his game. So what do you do when you're naive to something? Well, you try to find out about it So I watched his game versus uh, the sense in it. How should I say the Cincinnati Bengals versus the Cincinnati The team that's where chris more went to and sauce god. No, I cannot think of their team Cincinnati Cincinnati Bearcats, Bearcats. There we go. Bearcats. Anyway, uh, anyway, um And I watched that game just to see all right. What's he like? Um, and of course y'all give me an input on what you think about him as well But this is what I got. So for him as a linebacker Uh, the speed he's not he don't got no crazy speed. Um, his speed didn't jump out to me. Like, oh man that dude Oh, he's a burner and I know he's a linebacker So linebackers don't really have to be burners or anything like that But his speed didn't jump out to me. Uh, what did jump out to me? Uh, was his confidence though He is somebody that is Whatever he's doing He's like his confidence level is on 1,000 And he believes that what he's doing is the right thing Uh, and a lot of times he would he he has a very good He's very good at tracking the ball And I don't mean like tracking like the deep ball like them cornerbacks be doing but like tracking like that Like diagnosing plays and whatnot seeing where the ball is going Because with who was Cincinnati quarterback? Was it Ritter? I think it was Ritter But when they would do little rpo's and what's that he wasn't biting on none of that stuff Uh, and he would always be able to see okay. Did the quarterback keep the ball? Oh, no, he handed the ball off and he would always follow where the ball went. Um, so to me that shows that he He's very smart. He got a lot of football smarts. Uh, and he does a lot of film study Um, he's somebody and and you know Raven's like This is them all day when I saw this I was like, oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, this is him all day. He was out there He was out there on first down He was out there on second down He was out there on third down. I know you're saying, uh, okay. That's basic. Uh, that that's not a big deal But he was out there on fourth down as well. And what I mean when I say out there on fourth down when, uh, their their team forced to punt He would stay right out there and be on special teams Uh, so that the fact that he plays on defense and special teams Raven's little antler They they going crazy for that one. Um, another thing too Um, he is somebody again Raven's all day again. Uh, he lined up at inside linebacker And he was in coverage a little bit. They played a lot of zone coverage in that game Specifically, but he lined up at inside linebacker But he also lined up as a pass rusher So he lined up on the edge. He lined up like an outside linebacker and he was rushing to pass it too So it's like the more you can again Raven's little antler They love it. They love it. Uh, but seriously that the more you can do The better the if you are a well-rounded player, that's great. That's great And him again being on the Ravens team being on Ravens defense and again, that's their specialty That's their bread and butter So like you got to feel like all right and and he's a linebacker And again, I know different people feel different ways about the current group the current group of the linebackers right now for the Ravens But me it's still it's a big area of concern for me Big area. I know you play a lot of dime defense where you got a safety in the box next to the linebacker whatnot, but still a linebacker is an area of concern for me um, so we'll we'll see what happens, but Him being a linebacker he I think that he has a significant chance Of making the roster again because he's a defensive player And that's the Ravens. That's where they value what they value the most um, and again, that's been there in most since Not since the very beginning, but after the first couple years it it became them but anyway um With him he yeah, they they had him blitzing and like again The speed he ain't got no crazy speed. He ain't like slow, but he ain't got no crazy speed But again that confidence when he blitzed like he shot straight through now It did end up being a touchdown on that play. I think it went to uh, the the bear cat's tight end I think it was like number 81 and he was balling that game as a matter of fact But anyway the blitz it was a nice blitz because he was running and he got them like them high shoulder pads I think when you got them high shoulder pads on it kind of make you look like, uh I think kind of make you look a little bit slower, but it's all good man. Um, but yeah, he is short tackler He ain't somebody with people breaking a bunch of tackles off of him and I did see him too. He reminded me sort of of, uh, Chuck Clark Because I saw him throughout the game. He was he was communicating a lot, uh with his teammates So he was telling them where to go and whatnot telling them I guess what he saw from the offense There was a lot of communication pre snap with his teammates So that shows me a couple of things again It shows me the film study that he he recognizes different plays and sets from the offense and whatnot, but It also shows leadership to me Shows leadership and it shows that he's somebody that is responsible uh and willing to Excuse me and willing to really step up, uh for the guys around him again So yeah, so I like what I saw I like what I saw look like a solid linebacker and again for him I think the biggest role for him Uh, initially will be special teams Special teams because again Ravens got Patrick Queen. They got Josh Bynes. Oh, they got Malik Harrison Um and Malik Harrison, he'd probably be on special teams a little bit too Uh, but those are going to be the guys in front of him. Um, and of course Bowser and whatnot, but for him Being well rounded being able to play different positions and do different things That means as a backup you can back up different people It's not like, all right, you're just strictly an inside linebacker So you're going to be backing up Josh Bynes. Are you going to be backing up Patrick Queen? That's it So you just if one of those two get tied or it's a blowout game and you get in Okay, cool. But those are going to be the only guys you backing up. No You go back up, uh, a tie is Bowser back up or die fail away Back up probably Justin Houston when he comes back officially Uh, but you yeah, so that that's that man So you the more you can do the more opportunity you could possibly get Now, uh, when we look at, uh, his numbers His numbers, uh, 2018 He was a freshman Uh, played in eight games had eight tackles. Well, he had eight solo tackles and eight assists So he's like eight eight eight. You eight yet? But anyway, shout out to Lamar Uh, and what he had one and a half tackles for loss. So Not a crazy freshman year, but then sophomore year 2019 I guess he's like these Ravens going off 2019 So I'ma go off too because I want to be with them one day But he uh played in 13 games had 52 solo tackles 48 assisted tackles and that equals 100 Yeah 100 tackles 12 tackles for a loss Five and a half sacks and an epic Oh, that was a pick six by the way. Okay, nice Okay, uh, so yeah everything just jumped up But then one thing that I see from his numbers ever since then like Because if you look that that's when he got more consistent ever ever since sophomore year, that's when stuff just kept jumping Uh Junior year he played in nine games. So he played in less games. He had less time. He had 72 tackles But he had 11 tackles for a loss So you see that uh in 2019 he had 12 tackles for a loss in 2020 He had 11 tackles for a loss and then in 2021 He's had 11 tackles for a loss again Uh, and that was off of 94 total tackles So he was like, hey, no matter how many tackles I get whether it's a higher number or it's a lower number I'm I'm tackling somebody in the backfield I'm making plays in the backfield. So that that's nice to know. That's nice to see um And as far as the sacks again his his sophomore year he had five and a half and then His junior year he had three. Uh, and then his senior year. He only had one Um, he did get an interception though senior year But yeah, that that consists his biggest thing where he's consistent is the tackles for a loss. So again To me that goes back to what we were saying earlier About how he is a student of the game Um, if he's recognizing plays and diagnosing plays like oh, okay. Yeah, I know I know exactly what they're getting ready to do So he can be on it. Uh, and that can make whatever play he's about to make that much easier because he's seen it coming He knows what's on the way And when you when when you study anything Studying it prepares you for what's to come and that's in any situation doesn't have to just be film study It can be in school. It can be Literally anything even if you study people You can have one of your friends like man I already know they Every time when they're in this situation Oh, they always ask me for it dog They every single time and I know ah, but ah, yeah, they're probably gonna do it again They get in that situation. What do they do? They ask you for it. Yeah, I know it was coming because I studied them But anyway, y'all get what I'm saying So, yeah, shout out to Diego for go. Um, yeah, again, again, like I said, I think he does like have a legitimate chance of Making the Ravens roster and he had to go too far He had to go too far because he played at David. So he right up the street Anyway, team keeping clean appreciate y'all Love y'all. We out
