 The YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is saying Graven with another video and sit down because I got a feeling that this one is gonna go on for a long time because we got a lot to talk about. So we just finished watching the Baltimore Ravens end of season presser with Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh's funny right after the presser. One of my guys hit me up. He said, was that the liars luncheon? And I said, no, that's not till right before the draft. And he said, because I heard so many great things from Eric DeCosta, from John Harbaugh. And we did, we certainly did. Obviously, one of the biggest things being about Lamar Jackson. John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta continue to express so much confidence and faith that Lamar Jackson will be the Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback. They even said they even got a 200% chance that he will be their starting quarterback come next season. And they was asked about the franchise tag, the different kinds of tags that it could be. He said, hopefully they didn't even gotta think about that. Hopefully they get a long-term deal done. But he did express a lot of confidence. John Harbaugh talked about how they need to, they're going to build up the wide receiver room and all that. And I said, okay. And they talked about some more stuff too. We're gonna get into it a little bit. But before we get into it, hey, talking about it is great, saying, hey, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that, we're gonna do that, that, that. That's amazing and I love it. But actions speak so much louder than any words ever could. So as we dive into what this presser was, please remember, and even this goes beyond the presser, actions speak louder than words. We've heard a lot of stuff from this team before. We've heard a lot of stuff from Harbaugh. We've heard a lot of stuff from DeCosta. We've heard a lot of stuff from this team before. But how will their actions follow their words? That's what I'm waiting on. That's what I really, really wanna see. So let's just get into it. Anyway, Harbaugh, he came on, smiling him and Eric DeCosta. They were talking about Coke. They're trying to get a little sponsorship from Coke. And he talked about every ending has a beginning and all your naiagos, that where this 2022 season ended, then the 2023 season begins. And he said that, Harbaugh is speaking, by the way. He said, I feel great excitement and a great hope for what we're heading into. We're on a curve on building this football team and we have been for three years. You can see it coming together. It's becoming apparent where we're going. It's really not. It's not becoming apparent where you're going. It's been apparent where you've been at, but where you're going, we don't know the direction because you have no offensive coordinator. Now, while there was a stepping in the right direction with them letting Greg Roman stepping away or stepping down as Raven's offensive coordinator, so much is riding on what this next move is. And hey, I wish I would have gotten the reporters' names who asked some of the different questions, but there was some really, really good questions that came out of this. But let's keep going, because we got a while to go. This question was asked to EDC. Well, EDC stepped, he wasn't even asked the question. He first said that, he said it was a disappointing end to a long season with a lot of different challenges. Excited about the potential to off-season. That's my favorite time of the year. And of course, he's a GM. Like they love doing the free agency stuff, the draft, the trades, the cuts, and all that stuff. But anyway, I said we're excited to start negotiations with Lamar. We're excited about the roster. We're on the right path. Okay, now we're gonna see. Now, first question was, what's your confidence level on getting a long-term deal done with Lamar? EDC said it takes two to tango. We've spoken throughout the season multiple times. Then he started bringing up different contracts. He said Stanley's contract took a year and a half. Okay, Ronnie. Ronnie was like, hey, y'all ain't messing around with me. Y'all gonna get this right. Then he said, Mark Andrews, his deal took three to four days. So Mark Andrews was like, all right, show me the paperwork. I'm signing right away. And then Roquans took about a month. And he said, we'll communicate effectively and as fair as we can be. Now, this next question kept getting good. He said, you both said that you want Lamar at the center of this team for years to come. Is that still true? And for some of the questions, because I was listening and writing at the same time, some of them aren't exactly what the reporters asked, but they are pretty much exactly what the reporter asked. The word may be a little bit different. But anyway, so Harb said 100%. Lamar Jackson is an incredible competitor. All he wants to do is win at everything that he does. That's the kind of guys we want to build this team around. I love Lamar, Eric loves Lamar. And he said, I'm a Hubbaugh. Hubbaugh said, I'm like the fans. I don't know the details, but I have my fingers and toes crossed that it gets done. And he talked about how everybody from Bishadi, EDC, and just really everybody wants Lamar here for years to come. Okay, and then it got even better because this is such a great question. And I know this question, when I know, because I've gotten a lot of messages and trust me, anybody who sent me a message or DM or anything, I will get back to you soon, but my messages are incredibly backed up. But anyway, this question right here, the answer to it, it got a lot of Ravens fans hyped because they were like, oh man, if Lamar is able to do that, then that means he's staying for sure, right? He's got to be here for sure. And hey, I hope so, but it does not necessarily mean, let's get to the question. He said, did you ask Lamar about the offensive coordinator? Halb said, of course, Greg and I spent hours talking about this for the last couple of days. When you spend four years together, you become really close. This is an opportunity for him, Greg Roman, to move in some different directions. There were records that he set here that are gonna be here for a really long time. Now we leave that era and we'll enter the next era of our offense. And then he did say that Lamar Jackson, they will get input from him on their next offensive coordinator. And that's big. That is really big, if true. Because if you truly do get input from your quarterback on your next offensive, I mean, I think this should have been the case years ago, years ago, certainly after 2020. Not before, but after 2020. Raven should have been like, hey Lamar, what you wanna do? If they really like thought the way that they say they feel about Lamar, they should have done this in 2020. Now in a lot of the stuff that the Ravens have done, especially recently, they should have done a long time ago. A lot of us that we sat at the end of the bar, we saw this stuff, but apparently Ravens didn't. But hey, we're here now, so it is what it is. We don't need to be stuck on the past. But a really good question here. Is there concern with the business side with everything going on with Lamar Jackson, with attracting a new offensive coordinator? That was such a great question. Such a great question. But Hobbs said, no way. He said, everybody's gonna wanna want this job. He said, it won't just be me. But yeah, I love it. I love the question because you gotta think about that. Like offensive coordinator, that could be like, man, if I take the job, is Lamar gonna be there beyond this year? Or that same offensive coordinator could be like, if I take the job, is Lamar even going to be there this upcoming season? Because that question is still real. Yeah, this presser gave you a lot of nice feels. Like, hey, yeah, these guys said Lamar's gonna be here for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. Actions, baby. Actions. So anyway, now do you plan on changing your approach at the wide receiver position? They said, yes, certainly. We had some injuries with Bateman and Dude, which they did. But we'll look at free agency in the draft. We hear the fans. We hear you guys with the questions. One of our key missions last year was to build the O-line back. We feel like we're very close to building a championship team. And I believe that was Eric DeCosta that said that. So then the next question was, if you tag Lamar, are you willing to entertain trade offers for Lamar? Another great question. So basically saying, hey, if y'all end up tagging him, are you gonna listen to trade offers? Eric DeCosta said, that's not something we're gonna talk about. Our focus is the sign of Lamar. You did not shut it down. He did not shut it down. I see a lot of people leaving that part out because so many Ravens fans, they feeling good and all that, which ain't feel good. I ain't got no problem with that. But don't forget about some other stuff that was said. And because he could have been like, no, we ain't entertaining none of that stuff. But he didn't shut it down at all. And I thought that was very interesting. But anyway, moving on. He said, you currently have five draft picks. Are you gonna try to accumulate more? And Eric DeCosta said, we'd love to have more. When you have too many picks, it's hard for all those guys to make a team. And then he talks about when Ozzy had like four picks. He said it was one of the Ravens best drafts. Now, Eric DeCosta with five picks, I think that's, I don't see that happening at all. Like, there's no way. Eric DeCosta, a Ravens GM going into a draft with only five picks. Please, yeah. You know he's getting more somehow, some way. Hopefully it don't come one way that I'm thinking of, but he's gonna get more picks. Now speculation toward the end of the year. Oh, there was the speculation toward the end of the year with Lamar being hurt and not coming to the games. Now, is there any need to repair the relationship between Lamar Jackson and the players in the front office too? ADC said our relationship with Lamar is fantastic. When it comes to negotiations, it's a challenge, but that doesn't affect our feelings for Lamar or the organization's feelings for Lamar. Now, get this. He said we just have to keep those two feelings separate. So feelings for Lamar as a player versus feelings for Lamar as an agent. So on the business side, he said, so they gotta keep the personal and the business feelings separate. You're dealing with the same person. You're dealing with the same person. So that's almost impossible to keep the personal feelings out of it because they're gonna creep their way into them negotiations. It's gonna happen. But how will you let it affect those negotiations? We'll see. He said, we'll put our heads together in negotiated contract. This thing has been a burden for both of us. Next question, somebody asks, how much has Lamar expressed his desire for a fully guaranteed contract? Another good question because we've heard all these rumors. We heard that in the third from this person, that person and that person. We've heard it all. But Eric DeCasa, I really liked his answer on this because it's true. Because you walking on eggshells, buddy. He said, I told you guys last year that I won't talk about the negotiations. That has to be kept private. That would be counterproductive and it would. You know how private Lamar and his camp is. You know how private the Ravens usually are too. He talked about how the NFLPA, they like leaked out little parts and different offers and stuff, little parts of the contract offer and whatnot. But he said, he ain't saying none of that. He ain't saying none of that stuff because you certainly don't wanna break the big trust that Lamar may have for you right now. Next question was, did Greg approach you about the whole leaving him stepping down? And Harbaugh said over the past three days, they talked. Said we've been talking about everything and the conversations just ended up working their way into that place where both sides felt it was best. And again, like we talked about in the Greg Roman video, we talked about him stepping down. That's what Ravens do. Ravens, when it comes to coaches, nine times out of 10, they will give you a beautiful exit out. They will sign a recommendation letter and all that. You could put them down as a reference. They got you. They really do. Now, another question. I think this was from Jeff Srebek. But anyway, he said, are you going to interview internal and external candidates? And has the philosophy changed over the years? Harbaugh said, we'll interview internal and externally. The identity of the offense is what's important. And we've established that that's a good identity. That was concerning for me. But again, actions speak louder than words. I call this the liar's brunch. Not the liar's luncheon, but the liar's brunch. So hopefully, Harbaugh may be doing a baiting switch. But hey, we're going to have the same identity we had. But nope, gotcha. We're really changing stuff up in a better way. Anyway, he said, we've established that that's a good identity and we're going to carry that for the schemes players and players that you run out and put out there, something I'll be looking at. And he said, that's methodology. Nothing is set in stone. Nothing ever stays the same. You got to keep it moving, but it'll definitely be in the identity. So Harbaugh said that you got to keep it moving. Ravens have not kept it moving over these past couple of years. They haven't. They've kept it afloat, but they have not kept it moving. And it's crazy because I was really thinking, especially after last year, especially with the passing game, the way that it was going, I really thought like, all right, last year showed you like, hey, these Ravens, they could really pass the ball. I mean, two years ago, excuse me, two years ago. But then Lamar got hurt. And I was thinking, all right, well, going into the season Raven really going to be throwing that thing around. And they were a little bit, but they just, the consistency with it just, yeah. Anyway, somebody asks, what if Lamar holds out if he's placed on the franchise tag and doesn't show up right before the season, especially with you having a new offensive coordinator? And that was also another great question. And Harbaugh said, it's not a guarantee that it'll play out that way. Okay, cool, that's true. You're right, that's true. If the tag is applied, how will you move in free agency? And Eric DeCosta said, any deal that we do with Lamar will affect the cap, but we have a better salary cap than most teams. It's not going to be a situation where the market is open where we're signing guys left and right. Now that part, like that part, I would believe that. The Ravens really ain't never been a team to go here there and everywhere when it comes to free agents. So that should continue. That's Raven's identity right there. Lamar and Roquan's situations are different, but both of them didn't have an agent. Will having gotten the deal done with Roquan helped you guys with Lamar. And ADC said Lamar has his own style of negotiations and Roquan does too, as you guys have written about. So he acknowledged the bloggers and stuff. I mean, you could acknowledge the people that make the videos to ADC, but that's okay, it is what it is. But he said, as you guys have written about, that does allow us to use the franchise tag to keep both if we want to. I'm happy we got Roquan's deal done and I'll be even happier when we get Lamar's done. Again, that positive reinforcements behind them wanting to get Lamar's Jackson's deal done. Again, sounds great. Sounds great, but action, it's about that action. JK Dobbins, somebody asked about JK Dobbins' open frustration with the offense and acts if hardball has spoken to him and what his thoughts were on that. Harv said we talked Monday morning and he made it clear to me what he meant. So he said everything was cool and crystal clear. Then somebody asked about the potential retirements. I think that was Rita who asked. Yeah, that was Rita. She asked about the potential retirements from Kaleas Campbell and Justin Houston. ADC said he meant we're both of them and we'll keep those conversations private. I have a lot of respect for both of those guys and have a tremendous amount of respect for their game and the way that they play. He said, those are guys that you want on your team. So I don't know, sounded like a little exit speech to them like, hey, thanks for everything. But hey, we'll see, we'll see. We won't know until, you know, last year Kaleas flirted with retirement then he ended up coming back. This year, we'll see what happens. And I think Justin Houston, maybe there's something. Anyway, he was asked about, they were asked about Marcus Peters and really their corners in general and how they're feeling about both. And Edgar Costner said he got a crazy amount of respect for Marcus Peters. He called out his agent by name. He said at some point Marcus and I will probably speak, but as far as corners we feel like we can never have enough corners. And he talked about some of the different cornerbacks on the roster. And again, that's been an interesting conversation over the years, because Ravens have said that for a long time. But when they say you can never have enough corners, what a corner's job to do? Their job is normally to cover receivers. He says you can never have enough corners, but the way that they move at receiver is like they contradict each other. You can never have enough corners. We always need corners. We always need quality corners, but the corners job is to cover the receivers, but you don't feel the same way on the opposite side of the ball. So again, we'll see how this off season goes with how they address a lot of this stuff. Now, this next question is something that I have not been thinking about. We talked about it a lot early on this year, but I had not been thinking about it and it had just completely slipped my mind. Somebody asked about Patrick Queen's fifth year option. I was like, oh man, I completely forgot. This is when they would have to pick it up or not. And Eric DeCosta said, we were excited how Patrick Queen played this year. He made a jump. He became the player that we envisioned him to be. I'm not prepared to make that announcement at this point. Does it make it difficult to sign him long term? If he's playing at a high level, we'll make it work. He's a good player. I think we've got the best two inside linebackers, the combo, the tandem, in football. So the best inside linebacker tandem in football. We'll see. We'll see. I remember last year when he was asked about Hollywood's fifth year option. And then he actually answered in a presser. He said, yeah, we anticipate picking up Hollywood's fifth year option, but I continued to say, all right, Eric DeCosta said it, but we need to see it. We never saw it and we never saw Hollywood play for the Ravens again. Anyway, it's also asked about the exclusive slag or non-exclusive tag. Like, have you made a decision if it gets to that point on which tag you're gonna apply? Exclusive tag, Lamar can negotiate with other teams. Non-exclusive tag, he can negotiate with other teams. And if he comes to a deal that the Ravens don't match then those other teams whoever signed Lamar would have to give the Ravens two first round picks. EDC said, we don't have to make that decision for six weeks. We're gonna be going down to Florida. I'd love to be able to go down to Florida and not talk about Lamar because we will have the deal done, but we do have a plan in place if it gets to that. I mean, pretty self straightforward there. And the hardball was asked about any, are there any other changes with the offensive defensive staff and the hard is just, hey, guys get opportunities and things happen so we'll see how things go. So there'll probably be change. I mean, that changes really every year with the Ravens staff. So I wouldn't expect this year to be any different. I mean, they already, Greg Roman is going. So there could be some changes there. We'll see what happens with James Urban. We'll see what happens to T. Martin. I mean, yeah, T. Martin, Keith Williams. Who's the offensive line? Okay, I ain't trying to go down the list of names. I'm forgetting coach's names now. But anyway, speaking of coach's names, Mike McDonald, they were asked about Mike McDonald. And Harb said, I've known him for several years and I thought he's been great since he first got here. You saw his defense evolve over the year and all the coaches on defense definitely did a great job. Now, somebody asked, is this another good question? He said, is there any concern that it could be a trend with Lamar Jackson's injuries? Cause of course the last two seasons he's missed the end of the seasons. Harb all said, I don't anticipate it being a trend. I don't believe Lamar is gonna have those issues going forward cause he works so hard. Now, like I said before with Eric DeCosta and them, they're gonna use that in negotiations, man. You know they are. And I mean, it's business. Why wouldn't they? That's ammo for them. They're like, that's ammo in Raven's back pocket. Hey Lamar, look what happened at the end of the last season. Look what happened at the end of the season before this past season. Look what happened. Hey, what's going on there? Oh, you know what? Let's take off a couple of meals there. So they're gonna use it for sure. Now, here goes one of the parts where a lot of Raven's fans are like, oh yeah, they're gonna do it finally. Let's see. Harb was talking about different positions on the team and the offense and whatnot. And he said, the one area that needs to be built is the wide receiver room. We'll be adding a lot of pieces to that room. 75% of our offense is intact. 25% of it will be new. And that 25% is all in the same room speaking of the wide receiver room. Those are pieces we can give Lamar and help him thrive. I love what you said. I hear what you said. I agree with what you said, but are you gonna deliver on what you said? My only question, my only question with that, well, really with everything, are you gonna deliver? Again, it sounds great. Sounds amazing. I've seen Raven's fan, but oh, how about Sally Potter? Really improved the wide receiver room, let's go. And I love it, but we've heard stuff like this before. We've heard it about that action, man. So now, where does the confidence come from that the deal could happen in the next six weeks? Lamar Jackson's deal, of course. EDC said, if you go into negotiation with the negative feeling, then chances of getting the deal done are not good, it's small. And he said, we've done a lot of contracts. And I think he said they've done the second most contract extensions. He either said second most or fourth most over the past couple of years. But anyway, the top four at minimum when it comes to contract extensions by a franchise over the past couple of years. And he said, I truly believe Lamar wants to finish his career in Baltimore. So, hey, hey, we gonna see. Will you be able to hold onto some of Greg Roman's run concepts with a new offensive coordinator? He said, I like to keep a lot of those schemes around. And John Hubbell said the passing schemes as well, because Greg Roman had a lot of good passing schemes. That's what John Hubbell said. Now, he was asked, somebody asked, I love this question too. When I heard this question, I wanted to give the reporter a big hug. I forgot which one it was, but I love this question. Somebody asked EDC, when you're building a football team, do you build them for playoff success as opposed to just regular season success? And I said, wow, I love it, I love it. And EDC said, we build a team first to win a division. We hope to win as much as we can and get as far as we can. Some of my disappointments are things that are out of our control. You talked about like injuries and stuff, and there may be a play where they just didn't make it or something like that. Okay. I said, this team is close. We could have won a lot more or lost a lot more games. We have the potential to build something that's sustainable for a very long time. Okay. Do you anticipate Chuck Clark being on a team next year? EDC said, we haven't made any decision on that. Chuck is in Outstanding Safety. He's a great team player and he continued to talk about, he's like, hey, well, Chuck's been started for like, what, the past like three, four years? Yeah, okay, cool. I don't think Chuck's going to be here next year. But hey, I didn't think he was going to be here last year and boom, he was there. So what do I know? If you were still playing, would there be, like if the Ravens, somebody asks if the Ravens were still playing, like if they were still in the playoffs, would there be a possibility that Lamar Jackson could have been back? And Harb said, yeah, it was possible. He was working hard to get back when the division to win the playoffs. Oh, yeah. He talked about how Lamar was making it. He was trying to come back, but then he went back to the previous question about how they build their team. Do they build it to win in the regular season and build it for the playoffs? Then Harb's had went back to that question. And he's like, we built it to win in the division, in the playoffs. We want to be at our best. We'll be our best at the end in December and January. And he said that we always talk about that a lot. I really believe that we were. We had the injury to Lamar. That was the biggest challenge we had to face. You know what I mean? Yeah, that would be for any team. And usually most franchises, that would be the biggest challenge. If they're starting quarterback, it goes out with injury. Like, if they're starting quarterback is good and he goes out with injury. That would be a lot of teams biggest challenge. So we get it. And he said, we played well in that game, the playoff game against the Bengals. He said the game plan was working exceptionally well and the play went the other way. So obviously talking about the fumble play. And yeah, they were playing well, especially given the situation, given the circumstances and whatnot. They were playing well. But anyway, he said, is there a key to the interview process that gives you an idea of the coach will fit in with the team? And Harb said the type of person that Bishadi will be looking for, that's what they look for. He said, we'll want someone that can fit in and stand out and go far. So it sound like he was talking about somebody that can come into the Ravens and then they can go get opportunities elsewhere. And Ravens do put a lot of people on. They do allow people to get opportunities and whatnot. So anyway, next question was, somebody asked if it was because Lamar didn't have a long-term deal. Did that play a part in why he didn't come back and play? And EDC said Lamar can speak to that. I always love when they say that. But he said Lamar can speak to that, but my feeling is no. And his unique style as a player and as a quarterback and he's a freak type of athlete on the field, having a serious type of injury makes it difficult. And I've spent a lot of time over the last two years in the training room and he was trying to get back in other guys were too. And yeah, we certainly know he ain't lying about that. Everybody was in that training room over the past two years. Then they follow up question to that. Somebody asked if they were satisfied where they were at with injuries, especially after saying that they were gonna take an extensive look at it last year. And Hobbs said, yeah, we did really good with injuries this year. As those guys got back, we didn't add to any of the injuries with new ones. And then still on a subject to injury, somebody else asked are there any kind of off-season surgeries that anybody's having? Like any cleanup surgeries or anything like that? And EDC said we only have one player who's gonna have an off-season surgery and that's a record for us. And when he said that, I was thinking, if it's not Lamar, I could see it being somebody like maybe Ronnie Stanley. I know he's had quite a bit, even though I know he was just talking about the other day that he was going into this off-season healthy for the first time in some years. So maybe it's not Ronnie Stanley, but hmm, who could it be? Who was injured that came back but still kind of injured? I don't know, man. I don't know. I guess we'll hear about it afterwards. Then they were asked about what kind of impact a job can give, do they think a job can give? EDC said that he's excited about, they came off the Achilles injury, could have played earlier, but we didn't want to rush him because he said they had a lot of depth at that position. He said he's a long, tall guy, tremendous potential and he's having a great off-season that's critical for him, especially how last year was. Now they were asked, do you expect Bateman to have to play with screws in his foot? Shout out to Hollywood. He said they can come out, but they don't have to and it just depends on what's best for him. That was Hardball answering that. Now, somebody asks, what do you hope the identity of the offense looks like? And Hardball said a winning offense. You have to do everything well in situational football. You have to have a complimentary passing game, a drop-back passing game, a stand-alone passing game, a well-rounded balance offense. We're gonna run the ball. We have a QB that can do everything. We have to get that wide receiver room where we want it. Okay, all right, we're gonna see you, man. Will you be able to afford that type of wide receiver, like a number one wide receiver with paying Roquan and possibly paying Lamar Jackson? And this is obviously a question for Mr. DeCosta. He said, I know what the fans would like. Say, hey, they be hearing us. They be hearing us. They don't necessarily listen. Well, when they do listen, it's usually a little bit too late, but they be hearing us. I mean, we all been knew that, but they made it clear throughout this presser and they will another time to bring that up. He said, I know what the fans would like. We'll have to get creative on what we can do. We'll have to make some tough calls on players. What we don't want is to mortgage two or three years from now by paying a bunch of guys this year. Our goal is to always have a window open to compete every year. You can't pay everyone. Can't have 89 players at the top with high salaries and we've seen teams like that this year. I really thought right there. I thought he was going to call out the Rams. I was just waiting to say, oh, I like the Rams, but he ain't do that because that would have been a little blow. And then that could have taken away a team that possibly might have made a deal with you on something or whatnot. But yeah, anyway, I said, depth is one of the most important things to have. It's great to have all those star players, but you have to have young ascending players ready. And that's true, but you want a healthy blend of both. Somebody else asked him about the status of the old line and really specifically the status of Ben Powers. EDC said, Ben has probably improved the most on our team. He's a guy that we love to keep. They said he played probably like every snap this year. I said, my feeling is that he'll be sought after in free agency. So basically saying, bye, Ben. That's basically what he's saying. Like, hey, you getting ready to make a nice amount of money and you're going to make more money elsewhere than you would here. So enjoy yourself, go do your thing. So shout out to Ben Powers, too, man. Then somebody asked him, oh, oh, this was Jameson Hensley. He said, in eight months, when you start the season, is Lamar going to be your starting quarterback? And I was like, what, like, I mean, I appreciate the straightforwardness, but it's like, but anyway, EDC said, I don't see any reason why he won't be Jameson. I'm like, okay, cool, like, okay. And then the last question somebody asked, how frustrating has it been dealing with all the outside noise? And EDC said, I'm not on social media, except for I got an Instagram to track my daughters. But he said, buddy, here's about things. He said, sometimes Chad will tell him some stuff. And then he said, it's almost like a cocoon in this building. We try to drown all that stuff out. It's not a distraction for me, but I can't speak for John. I said, all right, now, whoa, okay. And it's like, look, it's true. We know like with Ravens, with players, with coaches, they let the outside noise creep in. We've seen it over the years, man. That's old news. But anyway, Eric also said, I try to build the team. I try to build the best team we can. Me and John talk all the time with neighbors. And he had slipped that little neighbor's thing in there real quick. And he said some other stuff, but that was it. That was it. So yeah, presses, they're interesting as always, especially this presser, into the season presser. So yeah, I was cool with it. They did address pretty much, they addressed everything we wanted them to address and some stuff that I had forgot about too. Like the PQ with his, the fifth year option, the wide receiver room, they talked about injuries and whatnot. So yeah, they addressed a lot of the stuff. But again, now it's about the action. How are they gonna follow up everything that they said? How are they gonna deliver on all these promises? What's gonna happen next? So it's like, all right, cool. So you talked a good game, that's great. But now again, like I've been saying this entire video, it's about action now. So let's hope for the best, see how it goes and we'll roll with it. I appreciate y'all team, keep it clean. Shout out for those of y'all that watched this entire thing. I know it went a long time, but that presser, it went even longer. But I love y'all, I appreciate y'all support, man. I really, really do, man. Love you, hope you're having a great day. Hope you have a great, well, I'm recording this on Thursday, but you'll probably be watching this on Friday. So yeah, have a good one. We out.
