00:03 - Made my job a lot easier.
00:05 Those guys were just flying around,
00:06 making spectacular catches.
00:08 And as you can see, I know you guys seen it,
00:10 Zay's very shifty, like I said before.
00:13 And you know, like I said,
00:14 Odell and Mark, household names.
00:16 - Mahomes said he likes to get a little action,
00:18 get hit a couple of times.
00:19 Do you need to be in a preseason game
00:22 to get ready for week one?
00:23 - I didn't plan a preseason game last year,
00:27 I don't think, did I?
00:28 No.
00:30 (laughing)
00:32 - Self explanatory.
00:34 - I think that answers the question, Joe.
00:39 If you expect to see Lamar Jackson
00:41 try to extend the Ravens to 25 in a row this week, Joe,
00:46 25 straight preseason wins,
00:49 he will not be a part of that.
00:52 I do think this is the best collection
00:56 of pieces he has had around him.
00:59 If healthy, obviously.
01:00 You have OBJ who hasn't played in a while.
01:02 I think personally he's the best receiver
01:04 he's ever had, period,
01:07 that he's been able to throw to in a game.
01:08 And Flowers looks outstanding.
01:12 But they've had a couple of first round rookies in the past,
01:14 they've tried and missed with several guys.
01:17 Will that change with Flowers, Joe?
01:19 - Well, I think he'll have better productivity.
01:22 Zay Flowers is a Jalen Waddell pocket rocket, right?
01:25 Not just in terms of the passing attack,
01:27 he's a smooth route runner,
01:29 but you can utilize him in terms of fly sweeps and the round.
01:32 So I think Zay Flowers can obviously produce
01:36 in that offense with Lamar Jackson.
01:38 Big picture though,
01:39 what do you get out of Rashad Bateman this year?
01:41 Can he stay healthy?
01:43 Because if he's healthy,
01:44 then obviously he's an added weapon that could put pressure.
01:47 And that's where Zay Flowers coming in out of the slot
01:51 could be effective with OBJ.
01:52 So they need three complimentary wide receivers in there
01:57 at all times.
01:58 If one of them goes down,
01:59 then that'll handcuff the offense,
02:01 make them a little bit one dimensional.
02:03 And when you have Mark Andrews too,
02:05 that hybrid type of tight end,
02:07 they're gonna put up some numbers this year,
02:09 but I still think it's Cincinnati.
02:11 And I still think it's Cleveland,
02:12 believe it or not, one and two in the division.
02:15 - Well, what we really need to see is Lamar Jackson
02:18 playing football after Thanksgiving.
02:20 Because we haven't seen that the last two years,
02:25 and that has derailed the Ravens.
02:27 So we need to see him play after Thanksgiving,
02:30 and that could change some things.
