 team keeping clean all the rumors were true because when it was announced yesterday that the Ravens were having a presser today a lot of people figured it was gonna be Sam Cooke retiring I thought he either Sam Cooke retiring or Jimmy Smith retiring but I don't think this came as a shocker to anybody now it was a it was widely known amongst pretty much everybody I mean we all figure what was gonna go down when the Ravens drafted Jordan Stout in the fourth round when they took a pun in the fourth round it was like okay these boys ain't about to cut no fourth round pick now he was a fifth round pick they might cut that cuz you know what fourth round pick no they pretty safe so when they took took him it was like oh well we know that Sam Cooke is gonna be on the way up out of here but it's nice that Sam Cooke gets to go out on his own terms and I wonder because I didn't watch the presser I didn't get a chance to watch the presser yet so I'm not sure if he said that this was something that he had been thinking about for a while and he let the Ravens know I'm sure he'd probably let them know ahead of time so they could draft accordingly I'm sure he wouldn't just leave them in the dog like oh okay I'm retiring now y'all good luck finding the punner but now I'm sure he ain't do that but one thing shout out to Sam Cooke because they did say that he is retiring from the game but he's still gonna be around the game because he's gonna be a special teams consultant so Sam Cooke was like he ain't hit Jordan with that Ryan Tannehill like it ain't much out of the train he ain't worried about you man worried about me now Sam Cooke was he's sticking around and he's gonna work with Jordan Stout and what not to help him come along in the NFL and it's I think it's very important and it should help make the transition that much smoother because before it was the long snapper you know the Wolfpacks is they they losing another guy first was Morgan Cox who was the long snapper he would snap the ball to Sam Cooke who was the holder and then Justin Tucker would kick it and they did that so many times through so many different situations and they had that chemistry but now they they lost one they lost one a couple years ago with Morgan Cox they cut him and they decided you know what we're gonna roll with the young boy Nick Moore a long snapper he's been doing this thing there hasn't been any hiccups anything like that everything's been a okay maybe he should have taught some of the sentence had a snap the ball anyway so now they lose another member of the Wolfpack and Sam Cooke so now they lose the holder so Jordan that that's gonna be his job but what better person to teach him how to do the job of a holder for those kicks and Sam Cooke himself like what better person like he's been doing this for like literally forever like he I saw something that said he was teammates even with Jonathan Ogden this dude was teammates with Jonathan Ogden and you know Jonathan Ogden Hall of Fame left tackle and he you know for the Hall of Fame in order to get to the Hall of Fame you have to be retired for at least five years and then you're eligible for the Hall of Fame so Sam Cooke not only played with Jonathan Ogden he saw Jonathan Ogden retire the five years past for Jonathan Ogden to retire Jonathan Ogden into the Hall of Fame and Sam Cooke was still playing way after that too shout out to him Sam Cooke has been around literally for forever forever ever ever ever ever ever ever and like a few people have pointed out yeah he is the Ravens most accurate passer in history more accurate than Lamar Jackson more accurate than Joe Fleckle more accurate than Kyle Bowler I know that probably wouldn't be too hard but shout out to Sam Cooke man but yeah now they enter a new era of punting with Jordan no pressure no pressure but there is some pressure because you will be relied upon to pin pin the ball deep hopefully get it inside the 20 maybe he could unlock some of them you know have madden did a little little challenges doing your your franchise mode and you punt it inside the 20 I got my first one like the other day when I was playing my franchise mode and I didn't even know those existed till a couple days ago been playing franchise mode for years and been playing franchise mode all this year but just found out that when you kick it inside the 20 you get the little the little upgrade or whatever I was like wow I guess I'll be kicking inside 20 why don't be putting a lot either anyway so this is a this is not even necessarily good news just it's a transition it's a transition and this is the second person and the second key special teamer that is making the transition from playing to helping with coaching of course Anthony Levine was the other one he was a key special team a special team captain by the way and he's still gonna be around helping with a scout and I believe so that that's really cool I love seeing players get opportunities after football and I love seeing them get different opportunities because and it's one thing if these players go and they like oh you know what I'm gonna be a coach for a high school team a little league or whatnot and that's cool those are those are great positions because you are you are teaching a lot of the youth through football you teach them a lot of lessons through football and they I think with that a lot of them may they may not get the lessons until they may not understand the lessons fully until later on down in life but anyway for Anthony Levine and Sam Cook it's cool to see them go from players to on staff because for them to be on the staff they and we these guys like Jamel McLean of course Zachary or Anthony Weaver is another one it's been different plenty of guys that have done it but I would love to see more not only just on the Ravens but in a league period to where because this gives them an opportunity to continue to grow and this gives them an opportunity to one day they may be coaching against John Harbaugh as a head coach you just never know how this thing could work out but the fact that the Ravens give them the opportunity to make that transition good stuff Baltimore we love it we love it love it so yeah special teams they they they took a blow but I'm sure they'll recover because that's one thing that the Ravens do a great job that is recovering on special teams when they the whole kicker situation remember the kick is before Justin Tucker but again I know everybody remembers Billy Cunder for the bad but Billy Cunder was not always bad he just had the very very bad moments in that last year the year before and even some during that year he has some really good moments good kicks and whatnot but that year everything and I think the Ravens even gave him a contract extension I believe but that year just everything fell apart in the following year undrafted rookie free agent kicker Justin Tucker from Texas they're like yeah get this guy shot see what he's got still booting kicks like 90 yards they weren't that far but he had that leg and the thing with Justin Tucker he showed them like alright I got the power I got the accuracy but he also had the clutch too and that's something that he had already but it's something it's one thing to have it in in college but to have it in a pros that's a whole another ball game so that is a commendation to Justin Tucker himself and his preparation but it's also a commendation a commendation to coaching staff as well with special teams to be able to bring him along in this again a real undrafted rookie free agent undrafted nobody picked this guy any is a kicker so it's harder for kickers to get picked but nobody picked this guy remember Robert Aguayo I think that was his name we got picked in like the second round by the Bucks I think it was by the Bucks remember him I don't know what he had now but anyway um Janet Kowsky I think Janet Kowsky was it was he a first or second round pick I think what are your first I forget but anyway kickers don't really get picked get picked like that I know the bingles they picked McPherson in the fifth round and I know Browns they picked the kicker this year I want to see us in the fifth round too but either way Justin can't get picked and I just took the best kick in the league so Raven they did something right there with the special teams did something right so um with uh with stout I'm sure and again with Sam cook being even if Sam cook wasn't there I wouldn't be worried about Jordan stout but with Sam cook being out definitely ain't worried about Jordan so he will be just fine he will be okay so beautiful thing great thing one last thing I haven't seen it from any I haven't seen anything official because and I just we're not gonna talk about it right now but there's been the rumor floating around that the Ravens are interested in T.Y. Hilton and one of the the things they quoted the athletic they said oh it's in this it's in this article in the athletic so I read the article and it did not mention the Ravens being interested in T.Y. Hilton not one time so that's why we ain't talk about that yet but if we see something from somebody and it definitely says Ravens are interested in T.Y. Hilton this a coach and some other teams interested in T.Y. Hilton but it did not name the Raven specifically the only time that I saw a name the Raven specifically in that article from the athletic was um we talked about last year when Ravens offered money until I was like oh I almost went to the Ravens but then I turned it down because Jim Ursa and the coach they came through with this last minute pushing I came back home then he got hurt again but anyway team keeping clean I love y'all so much I appreciate y'all um and yeah man just like Sam Cookie is when it comes to being a member of Baltimore Ravens oh one last thing I was about to say I'm out buying out yep I know there have been a lot of people who watched the video Eric DeCosta and they've been like oh because I know my boy Mark is he hit me up another one of my guys hit me up about it too I forgot who it was my apologies to you know I love you but a couple people hit me up they say oh hey did you see Eric DeCosta you saw Eric DeCosta's hoodie y'all so you saw you saw you saw him with the uh with the Lamar Jackson hoodie on ho ho Lamar locked in baby let's get it and me I'm like uh that was nice it was cool nice gesture shout out to Eric DeCosta wearing Lamar Jackson's hoodie his apparel and whatnot but nothing's official till it's official so I yeah we'll see how things go with Lamar Jackson in that contract I still ain't expecting anything to be done this year but yeah we'll see so Eric DeCosta you keep on wearing that Lamar Jackson appear I actually got to get me once Eric thank you EDC for more to me motivated me to get a Lamar Jackson one of them a wild dog hoodies man so I appreciate it shout out to y'all shout out to you team keeping clean appreciate y'all thank y'all for watching thank you for supporting and just like Sam Cookie is now we out
