 This is why I don't get upset with Ravens fans who have been tripping out when they hear about a player getting hurt. Like most recently, it was Kyle Hamilton yesterday. They said he went down in practice. They said he got up, but then he ended up just leaving with a trainer, something like that, and didn't return. And his day ended early. And there were a lot of Ravens fans freaking out, but I understood why because of 2021. Recency bias is real and amongst Ravens fans, it is a real thing. Ravens fans from last year have been scared and scarred. And those are often two words that a lot of people get mixed up when it comes to the spelling, but you can insert either one in a sentence when it comes to how Ravens fans feel about last season. With every single injury that just continued to pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up and pile up. We hope that this isn't the beginning of a pile. It was said today that Vince Beagle, who was competing for a roster spot, who if you read the reports, there was a lot of good stuff coming out about him. And it was looking like he might've been one of those sleeper guys to make the roster, especially with how just thin the Ravens seem to be at outside linebacker. But it was said that he had to leave training camp on a cart today. He couldn't put any pressure on his leg. And they said that he tore his Achilles. So they officially lose him for the season. So this brings a lot of Ravens fans, deja vu from last year, because this is something that we heard over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Literally from start all the way to the very end. Because of course, Ty's Bowser, very last game of the season, Achilles. Achilles' injury, very last game of the season. It's like, man, how could it be so bad? So again, hopefully this isn't the start of a lot of the same. Now with Tyler Lindenbaum, he went down too, but they said that he's gonna be good. Harbaugh said that he just got his foot stepped on. They're gonna get an MRI just to be sure. And yes, please get an MRI, please get it. Cause we want some certainty. Ravens needs some certainty. Even if the fans don't get it, the Ravens needs some certainty. So they will know exactly how to move forward. And hopefully it's not anything long term. But they're just been injuries. Charlie Collar now with Charlie Collar's was a bit different because that was something that he had been dealing with from college with the little sports. Hernia Harbaugh said that he was gonna try to, he's gonna try to play through it, but it ended up just being too much. Got the surgery, that's gonna keep him out. I think they said like a week or maybe two, something like that. But when he'll be back, but this is just, again, it's a reoccurring thing. But we hope it stops here. But again, it's the worst part about football. It's the worst part about football is the injuries. Cause they happen to every team, you can't do anything about them. Ravens, they've been trying to do things a bit differently this year. So far, besides today, so far, so good. Hopefully this will be it. But you feel for these people, man. You feel for them because with Vince Beagle, I just, initially, I just thought that, okay, yeah, veteran guy, he played some inside and outside linebacker, I think, for the Dolphins, I believe. But I just felt like the Ravens were just signing him, just as a just in case guy, but they would have some other guys that they were gonna have on a roster ahead of him. But again, those reports were saying that he was doing this thing. And we know like Ravens right now at outside linebacker, it is Slim Pickens. Yo rookie, who you drafted in the second round, might not even play this here. Might not even play. Adafi away, he'll be back, and they said that he's been looking really good. So that's a beautiful thing. Tyus Bowser, we're still waiting for him to officially come back from his Achilles injury that we were just talking about. They just signed Justin Houston a couple of weeks ago. So he's with the squad again for another year. Daylan Hayes, who missed most the last year with injury, he's looking to take a step forward. Malik Harrison, who was an inside linebacker, but they apparently are trying him at outside linebacker. Maybe a mix of both inside and outside, it just depends on what the roster calls for. We'll see what happens with that. But other than that, unless I'm missing somebody, it's Slim Pickens, baby. It's Slim Pickens. So, I mean, we're gonna see, we're gonna see what goes down now, how they replace him. I think, do they still have Steven Means, too? I think they still got Steven Means. But he's more like an edge guy, not necessarily outside linebacker, but just more of an edge guy, sort of a D-end. But yeah, man. Yeah, it's a tough part of the business, man. And the Ravens, like we've been saying, all off season, this off season, especially from last year, stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. But I do appreciate the fact that the Ravens are trying, they're trying different methods. So, because again, we're like a JK Dobbins. Now we remember, he's talking to hardball. I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. He went and tried to shut Ian Rappaport down when that report came out that Ian Rappaport said, oh, he's probably gonna start on physical and they would perform list and he may not even be ready for week one. JK came, no, no, no, no, no. I might not even go on the pup list. And I'm definitely gonna be ready by week one. He's on the pup list. Say, oof. But they're not rushing them. They don't need to rush them. Ravens, they do not need to rush anybody back. And that's been a step in the right direction. They're not rushing guys. Gus Edwards, another one, not rushing them. David, I mean, they can't rush them even if they wanted to. Again, because that's such a, it's a long-term investment. You invested a second round pick. Like you, when you, you really gotta think about that for a second. Cause I know, which I can understand both sides. Like, I know that a lot of people are frustrated. Like, why would they pick somebody who can't even play right here right now? Why would they do that? Especially cause I know a lot of people have been seeing them George, them George Pickens, the all the highlights and stuff that he been putting out and still is camping and whatnot. And it's like, ooh, what could have been? You know, that was, that was somebody that I really wanted the Ravens to draft was Pickens because he got that attitude, man. He got the attitude mixed with ability and you combine all that. I kept calling him. He's like a Marcus Peters, but on offense. And ooh, I would've loved it. Anyway, it is what it is. But with a job, I know there were a lot of people like frustrated cause like, man, this dude, he might not even play this year. In the Ravens, he's a second round pick on him. But the Ravens like for them to use a second round pick on him. And he was projected to be a first round pick before the Achilles injury. But for them to use a second round pick on somebody who they may not even, may not even see the field this year, that speaks highly of just how they view him as the future. That speaks very highly of how they view him. And then of course, his contract is gonna run out the same time, Adafi Away's contract is gonna run out. So hopefully those guys can build something special as the past rushes of the next generation of Ravens. So that can be nice. But anyway, they can't rush him back. Ronnie Stanley, I mean, we done talked about Ronnie Stanley a lot, but they are not rushing him back. When we were there for training camp, we saw him standing around, talking to the guys. You see, he looked fine. He didn't look like he was limping or anything like that. And then of course we've seen little stuff on social media, him doing the whole walking on the beach and walking backwards on the beach and whatnot, even seeing him, I think he showed himself running in a little bit too. So everything has looked good. But again, don't want to rush him. Think hardball said it a couple of days ago that Ronnie Stanley, yeah, he'll be back at some point, but his return is not imminent. Doesn't have to be right around the corner. We hope that it's right around the corner, but it doesn't need to be. Marcus Peters, that's another one. Marcus Peters, he did say in an interview with Sway. He said, oh yeah, yeah, I'll be back in like June, July, boom, he came through, but he hasn't practiced yet. They're not Russian people. They're not Russian guys. And with him, like, it's just like, man, who's it gonna be? Who's gonna come back first? Cause you got some significant guys that are out. Well, Ravens, again, they taking a different approach. So with them not rushing those guys back, great, don't rush them because it's a long season. Last year just got a game longer. It's a very long season. Worst case scenario, you got some guys that missed one game, two game, three games, maybe four, but me personally, I mean, obviously want everybody to play all 17 games, but if somebody's gonna miss some time, I would rather them miss the first two, three, four games than miss the last 10 on the backend. If they gonna miss some time, they miss some time early, all right, cool. Let's get them for the long stretch. Let's get them for that home stretch. Cause it's a very long and it's a very tough, tough schedule that the Ravens got this year. Oof, it's a tough schedule. And the Ravens have a, they got the last place schedule, right? I don't think, yeah, I think they do. The last place schedule, quotation marks are real. All that first place and last place schedule, and da-da-da-da, like, it's NFL, it's tough either way. Whether you got first place or last place, whatever you got, there's gonna be some tough games. And Ravens, there's certainly some tough games this year, but they do that every year. They also changed the practice regimen. I know Patrick Ricard, he talked about that in the press that he did a little while back. Hardball, he's brought it up multiple times. Eric Dacasa did mention in the press are going into the off season. He said that we're gonna turn over every stone and look at everything when it comes to the injuries and they have been men of their word so far with that. Even this year, I mean, today, it was said that the rate, it was so hot outside. Like yesterday was super hot, today was super hot. They said today, they had to take a little break. Had to take a little halftime break during training camp because it was so hot. Now, unless they said it and I just straight up missed it and that could have happened, but I'm not, now I ain't complaining because me, I love being out there in the afternoon rather than having to wake up super early in the morning. But I didn't catch the reasoning for them moving practice and training camp from early in the morning to then moving into the afternoon. I didn't catch why that was. So I don't know. I don't know why they made that move. But hey, if it helps, so be it. And hopefully it does help. And that could be part of that. Just them doing things differently, trying to prevent what 2021 was because that was very, very ugly. But anyway, let's see how it goes. Hopefully this will be the last Achilles injury that we hear from the Ravens for the rest of the season. And hopefully they can just have great health because we really wanna see this team full go. And we know no team in the NFL is never ever gonna be 100%. They're never gonna have 100% of their players on the field. But we just hope that the Ravens can be as healthy as possible because that will make for a much better season.
