Video summary

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for a highly anticipated season with significant changes to their defensive lineup, particularly highlighted by the official depth chart released recently. The most notable shift involves Super Bowl MVP Kyle Hamilton, who is now listed simply as a "defensive back" rather than being confined to the safety position. This strategic move suggests a positionless football approach where Hamilton will roam freely across the field, making plays in the backfield, catching interceptions, and generating sacks. Jesse Minter, the defensive coordinator, has expressed excitement about this flexibility, noting that Hamilton's ability to play anywhere will keep opposing offenses guessing and tired of seeing his jersey everywhere on the gridiron. In addition to Hamilton's versatile role, there is growing optimism regarding the health of Nnamdi Madubuike, the team's defensive tackle. Reports indicate that he has been participating in full positional drills with the defensive line and notably stopped wearing his neck roll, signaling a strong recovery from previous injuries. A healthy Madubuike is expected to be a dominant force on the interior of the defense, providing the necessary pass rush to complement the secondary. While wide receiver Tays Walker remains out of practice due to an unspecified lingering issue, the team is monitoring his progress closely, with hopes that he will return for Week One against the Indianapolis Colts. Beyond the roster moves, the video addresses fan concerns about potential weaknesses, specifically regarding the offensive line and the kicking game, though the narrator expresses confidence in the defensive unit's overall strength. There is also a discussion about Marlon Humphrey's future role; despite his elite status as a cornerback, some speculate he might transition to safety or even leave the team for more consistent playing time elsewhere, given the depth of safeties like Hamilton, Malaki Starks, and Jaylen Hawkins. The segment concludes by emphasizing that while the Ravens may not have many vocal leaders who "talk the talk," they possess players who are ready to "walk the walk" on the field, relying on their talent and discipline to dominate rather than relying on trash talk.

I know this is team keep it clean, but this Ravens defense is about to be freaky. They are going to be exotic. And Jesse Minter, he's telling you, "Hey, come try and stop us." The depth chart came out yesterday, and we were going through it and I was like, "Okay, it looks normal. You got Marlon Humphrey at corner, Nate Wiggins, Malachi Stocks and Jaylen Hawkins at safety." Oh, woah, woah, WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. WHERE'S Super Dooper Kyle? Well, they got this man listed as a defensive back, not a safety. Not a strong safety, not a free safety, but a defensive back. So, you know what that means? That man is literally going to continue to be everywhere on the field. HEY, JESSE MINTER TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER THIS OFF SEASON, especially with Kyle Hamilton. He said, "This is going to be positionless football." So, he going to be able to do whatever he wants. With Super Dooper Kyle, PUT HIM EVERYWHERE on that field. That number 14. Teams going to get tired of seeing that jersey in the backfield. Teams going to get tired of seeing that jersey catching picks, getting sacks, forcing fumbles, just making plays. Initially, this off season, we could ask the question, "Jesse Minter, what are your intentions with my safety?" And now we know. This man is going to have him going absolutely wild. We saw what he did with another really, really good safety, might I add, Mr. Derwin James, WHO IS NICE, BUT HE AIN'T no Super Dooper Kyle. AND THAT'S NO SHOT AT DERWIN JAMES AT ALL, CUZ DERWIN JAMES IS A BALLER, but Kyle Hamilton, he's just the best balling safety in the world. So, now Jesse Minter got us over here that much more excited to see this defense this coming Sunday against the Colts and watch Kyle Hamilton go wild. Now, Mady Ma BK just keeps ramping up more and more, so he getting closer and closer. NOTHING CONFIRMED YET, BUT WE'LL SEE. UH, James said, "Ravens defensive tackle Mady Ma BK was participating in the positional drills. So, his position is defensive lineman. He was working with the defensive line. Not working off to the sideline by himself. Not running on the adjacent field, but working the positional drill. So, he's continuing to work with the team. But continuing, it says he was participating in the positional drills during Tuesday's media viewing portion of practice and he was also not wearing the neck roll that he has been frequently using. So, Nnamdi is getting >> healthier and healthier and healthier. >> And if he's getting those things, then that means he's getting closer and closer and closer. And a healthy Nnamdi is a nasty Nnamdi on Ravens defensive line. You know, not all the news can always be so great. And with Tays Walker, we'll just continue to wait and see. Jeff Zrebiec didn't make a big thing of it, so we'll just monitor. Uh Jeff Zrebiec said uh wide receiver Tays Walker was running on a side field and he was not in uniform for practice. He was the only Baltimore Ravens player not practicing. Um he had also missed some practice last week, so there's something lingering with Tays Walker. I know Jeff Zrebiec did say that he ain't look too bad, especially last week. Um but it's just one of those things where we'll wait it out. I [snorts] would be very disappointed if Tays Walker didn't play in this game, cuz I want I want to see Tays Walker. We all want to see Tays Walker. Like we've seen what he can do on an on a limited basis, so we just we want to see the full thing. Um but will it have to wait another week after week one? We'll see. It's we got Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So, Tays got some time, so let's see how it all plays out. We at my favorite part of these videos where we get to hear from you.

We ain't had no goal in a long time, but let's set a like goal of at least 14 likes on this video. Shout out to Super Duper Cow. First question came from my guy Von. He said, "What position do you think is most going to struggle this 26 and 27 season for the Baltimore Ravens?" Me personally, I say offensive line. Where is everybody getting this from? That they So many people feel like the offensive line is going to be bad or just not special. And I'm wondering where this is all coming from. Cuz I maybe I'm missing something. But I I I feel like I'm like the only person that ain't tripping on O-line right now. But anyway, he said, "Offensive line or the cornerbacks? We starting a center that never started and probably don't have the most experience. I hope he can perform in the playoffs with bad weather conditions in the playoffs or just a bad weather game. We know about the bad center problem. We certainly do. Um and it's been multiple centers that have with the high snaps and yeah, we don't want to relive that, but it's part of Ravens history, so it's always there. Um yeah, so you named quite a bunch of different positions. You said offensive line could struggle, said the cornerbacks. Hm, that's interesting. I ain't seen nobody say that. What makes you feel like the cornerbacks going to struggle? I feel like the cornerbacks are going to do an excellent job. Obviously, they're going to have some plays that they give up, but feel like overall they're going to do an excellent job because of Jesse Minter's system because it's going to put them in position to have a lot of success. So I mean, at the top of this video we were just speaking about Kyle Hamilton. Man, it's almost time, y'all. We we so close. Um if I had to choose a position, I would say well, I I hope nobody struggles, but I I I don't want it to be, but right now my biggest worry is kicker. That's my my my biggest worry right now is the kicking Tyler Linderbaum. But hopefully he doesn't struggle. I hope that all my concerns, all my worries go poof. They all gone. Uh he also said, "I'm scared of everybody but Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey." Oh, he said I'm scared of everybody but Nate Wiggins. Well, you got to put a little comma there. I thought you saying you scared of everybody but Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey. But he said Marlon Humphrey time is up. He needs to be going after this year. Woah, woah, woah, woah. But I don't know if it feel like the signs are pointing to that happening with him not being a captain. I just feel like that was really weird with the way that I forget whether it was Jesse Minter or EDC who was speaking on him. I think it was Minter, but the way that he was talking about him it just made it seem like oh yeah, this is it. But we'll see. We'll see. I did see Ooh, I saw some people having a conversation on Twitter the other day. Something that we've been talking about for years. Like I feel like Marlon Humphrey would be such an amazing safety. But how would they even incorporate him into being a safety with the Ravens? Cuz we got super duper Kyle. We got Malakai Starks. We got Jaylen Hawkins. That's like three good safeties right there off rip. So where are you going to fit Marlon? Like it'd be a good problem to have, but maybe Marlon would be like, "You know what? If I'm a safety, I'll be the the fourth string safety? You know what? Let me go play safety somewhere else." I can see him doing that. And I wouldn't be mad at it. It's business. He would want to get the most opportunity he possibly can. So and I don't think it would be with the Raven. I think he would do an excellent job because he could be a safety slash corner. He could do different things, but I think just to get more of a consistent opportunity I think he may end up going elsewhere. But again, we won't know till we know. No dogs. Next question came from my guy Chase. He said, "What's up Raven? How are you and the family doing?" I'm doing good. I don't know how much better I'm going to be after we finish reading your question. But let's find out. He said, "We ain't got no dogs on this team, especially on defense." Hold up. Do you not know? Roquan Smith is literally a dog. Oh, excuse me. A bulldog to be exact. HE WENT TO GEORGIA. MALAKAI STARKS IS literally a dog. A bulldog to be exact. He went to Georgia, too. So don't tell me we ain't got no dogs on this team, especially what you talking Let's continue. He said, "We ain't got no talkers." What? If anything, so many people feel like Roquan Smith might talk too much. He like but his his his I I think I know what you mean though. Cuz Roquan Smith talking is it's a little different. It's it's Anyway, let me continue. He said, [snorts] "Uh which is funny because Ray and Ed were all crash outs in the 2000s and for small wild Marcus Peters and Earl Thomas were crash outs too." Uh not Earl Thomas. At least on not not Ravens Earl Thomas. Marcus Peters, oh yeah. >> [laughter] >> But don't forget about Zion Young. Zion Young, I would assume that he'll take that role this year. I really do. Anyway, he said, "Earl and Marcus eventually didn't work out, but I think that's because they were both on defense. We needed someone who's going to walk the walk as much as he talks the talk, if you know what I'm saying. We need a vocal leader who everyone knows not to mess with. Let me know if that's crazy. If I'm not, I want Marcus Peters hired as a coach. My man COULD TALK." >> [laughter] >> UM WE like cuz we got guys who they don't really like Lamar Lamar ain't no big-time talker like that. Um if you try to trash talk him on the field, he'll give it back to you a little bit. Especially he'll show you better he could tell you though. That that's Lamar Jackson. Um with Derek Henry no but it's like we got ballers, but they ain't like talking like that like that. Um on defense though, like Kyle Hamilton, he Now, I I do remember, I think it was his rookie year. Like he was quoted talking trash to his own team cuz he said that he told somebody He never named who it was, but we all assumed that it was uh Chuck Clark. Cuz he was like, "I'm here to take your job." I said, Why you got to do friendly fire? So, but as far as like trash talking to other teams, I I yeah, I I Roquan Smith. Um other than that Mhm. Man, maybe I'm forgetting somebody, but I really can't think of nobody like that like that who we got that does that. So, you may be on to something, but that don't mean that we some weak pushover team now. Like maybe the Ravens just like, "Look, we ain't got to do all the talking. We going to walk the walk, but we ain't got to talk the talk. We going to show you." Defense. Next question came from my guy Avery. He said, "Ingraven, hope you're doing as great and well as the fam and team. Keep it clean." We doing pretty good, Avery. I appreciate you, my friend. He said, "What do you think will have the biggest impact this season on the defensive side?" Ooh, Trey Hendrickson. Well, Jesse mentioned him, but I I say Trey Hendrickson because he can impact every level of the defense, especially uh our secondary. And we've needed a dominant pass rusher for a long time. We've been trying. We've been taking some swings. We've been having some misses, but now we got one. We got a proven guy. Got somebody who's ready, healthy, and it's like hey and he's in a good system, too. Yeah, so you give me Trey Hendrickson. He said, "For me, I got Kyle Hamilton, Madubuike, and he will win Comeback Player of the Year. And the last I have is Trey." Okay, so we were kind of on the same page. Um but yeah, I with Buke's That'd be great if he won Comeback Player of the Year. I don't think he will. I think it'll end up going to like an offensive guy cuz they get a lot more attention than the defensive guys. Um but I'm sure he going to ball. And I just I wonder when he's going to play. We'll see Again, we'll have more information on him later on today uh when the Ravens practice uh especially because the first injury report it'll come out Wednesday. Yeah, that's what we get That's what we like, "Really? You a Raven fan? You get them injury reports." And hopefully it's like squeaky clean. It ain't no long CVS list or anything like that, but yeah, man, we are in week one. It's It's crazy, man. Anyway, he said, "Uh what are your thoughts?" Oh, well, yeah, I ain't mad at that. You said you got Super Bowl cow as having the biggest impact on the defensive side. Reason I didn't pick him because he obviously has a huge impact on the defensive side and he has continued to have a huge impact on the defensive side, but we needed more. Like, we had Super Bowl cow who has continued to be amazing, but without no pass rush, like he can only do so much. He's still a baller. He's still the best safety in the world, but we ain't have no pass rush, so Ravens would give up a lot of yards through the air every week. Couldn't get to the quarterbacks every week, but now we got somebody who can do those things every week in Trey Hendrickson. That's why I picked number 91. >> [music] [music] >> The flock flies to the wise. [singing] It's a wonderful thing. [music] Look what vision and commitment and some discipline brings. When eight becomes one, the wood swings and the black sings for [music] another ring. Man, we tuning in the engraving vision at that scene tonight.
