 I know they said today was gonna be crazy, but I know I start this early Ravens making moves it to in the morning I ain't even get to take my morning YouTube Team keep it clean. What's going on? Same gravy here with another video. Good morning and happy first day of free agency even though a lot of the deals aren't official yet because it's a legal tampering period cuts It starts at 12, but anyway the Ravens they made a very Ravens move Because they signed for my browns for my bingles and former Giants more recently guard Kevin Zitler and He is 31. So he's a veteran in the game. He done been around the league for a little minute but they sign a quality guy and What the Ravens said their off-season mission was going to be you know cuz when Eric Dacosta says a this is what we're gonna Do this is what we're gonna take care of They take care of it and they make it known and they make it very clear very early on that that is their priority last season After the playoff game, he said no Derek Henry is not going to run all over us like that again and He did a phenomenal job of that because when they played Derek Henry in Seven of the eight quarters that they played Derek Henry in well actually in yeah And seven of the eight quarters because in the fourth quarter in overtime he ran all over them in that regular season game but They they fixed that they fixed that and mainly they fixed it for the playoffs because that's what they wanted to make sure It was corrected the most but now this season Throughout the regular season and then especially in the postseason the offensive line was a big yikes So Eric Dacosta said hey, we got a we got to build a wall We got to make this thing a lot better than what it was this past season And he started a deal that they got done at two in the morning two in the morning That's around the time where I went to sleep some of the extra tired right now, but anyway They took care of it, but this is not this they're not finished by no means they're not finished at all But this is a start So with Kevin Zeitler, even though he's 31 I looked at some numbers because you know age not that age ain't nothing but a number But it doesn't tell the whole story. So last year I looked at how many sacks he gave up He gave up two and that's great But a number that I really wanted to look at that it's just as important at least to me is the number of penalties and He committed for throughout the entire season for penalties throughout the entire season and My eyes that that's that's huge Because so many of Raven's problems last year on offense is especially on the offensive line where the pre snap penalties pre snap penalties They just they will shoot themselves in their own feet And they happen literally every single game Every single game Except for I think the Tennessee Titans playoff game But they would always happen false start Holding now that one holding is a little but that's not a pre snap penalty though But the false thoughts Legal motion illegal shift illegal man downfield. There's that in the third like man And and they will kill them It will kill drives and it kills plays before they even get started. It kills momentum. It just kills so much so early So having a veteran guy that's not out here committing a bunch of penalties, then that's that's a big benefit That's a great thing. That's a beautiful thing So Kevin Ziedler, it gives you a sure thing at guard. So I'm assuming they will play him at right guard and this gives them somebody a True that they're playing at the true position They're not gonna this is not a swing man It's not a guy that oh well, he can play some guard. He can play some tackle He can play some center and not that it's anything wrong with that, but Those jack of all trades players for the offensive line a lot of times they can be masters of nothing So you want somebody who knows how to play this position You don't want to be playing musical chairs and whatnot. I know injuries had a lot to do with that too But you want somebody that's going to solidify that certain position and that's that They're not gonna be always gonna play tackle. It's gonna play guard. He's gonna play center. He's gonna play this You know, no, he's gonna play guard. That's it that's it and With the Ravens, this is such a Ravens move because he doesn't count against the comic formula Now, you know any any player that they signed today Well that they come to terms with because it won't be official until Wednesday But any player that they agree to terms with today? It would count again or any player after after 12 today because 12 today is when everything starts But any player that they come to terms with after 12 today? They will count against the Compic if they are a pending free agent Like if if they were cut from their team and they are already a free agent then they don't count like Kevin Zayla But if they are a pending free agent whose contract is expiring with their team, then they count against the Compic formula So I don't know like I don't know really what to expect from Ravens this year. I really don't but Offensive line. This is their priority man This this is definitely their priority now one thing with Zayla And that was a deal 22 mil. Yeah, 22 mil six 16 mil guaranteed not sure how that breaks down in terms of The cap hits, but this also shows hey There's something that we already knew and we've known for a very long time now because that's just how the Ravens have been But this shows like you signed the veteran a veteran guard You're in win now mode You are in win right now mode. You signed the 31 year old guard, you know, you're you're ready You are trying to get over that hump. You are trying to get this team to that next level And they've been taking some steps again Remember the constantly addressed the holder the running back. I mean the running back that they just couldn't defend in the playoffs with Derek Henry So they took care of that They made a step forward when in their first playoff game But then the offensive line hopefully now that he's gonna start taking care of offensive line Hopefully they take they take more steps forward and then of course in the passing game, too They saw hey like we we were supposed to make a jump last year in the passing game. We didn't Let's try to make a jump this year Keith Williams T. Martin They've worked with these elite receivers. They work with a lot of elite receivers So let's go ahead and change the culture at Y receiving Baltimore by bringing those boys in some younger guys Who can relate to the players a lot better, I know y'all know what I'm talking about but They they're trying to make some changes. So it's off to a good start so far. This is good But what's next? What's gonna be next for the Ravens? Let's see and I of course will keep y'all posted on whatever goes down, but Welcome to free agency This is the first of a lot that's gonna be going down today a whole lot. It's gonna be crazy It's gonna be wild So please make sure you subscribe Turn your notifications on so you don't miss anything Because it's it's gonna be very crazy. I'm not even fully awake yet, but we already had to start working So team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all and Just like Kevin Zayla told the Giants when they cut him. He was like, I'm out
