and I discuss the Ravens signing of Derrick Henry! Can Henry help get the Ravens over the hump? We also discuss some of the defensive guys staying in the North plus what are the Ravens biggest remaining needs!
I asked Rashod Bateman about how it felt to see Lamar spread around the ball around the way he did Sunday “If Lamar’s happy, I’m happy. As long as 8 is on the field we got a chance”
#RavensFlock
Lamar when I asked him about the lack of running game “It’s not the Ravens of the past no more. This is the NFL; it’s a new era. We’ve got to play ball. We’ve got to know that if the passing is working, we’ve got to keep passing it – if we’re doing it.“

Coach Prime called out the 8 teams that didn’t attend JSU’s pro day and the Ravens were one of those teams. Coach Prime had a message for the teams not in attendance
#RavensFlock
John Harbaugh gifted the team a pinball machine for Christmas with a note that said “This is a pinball machine” Marlon said that apparently a few of the guys didn’t know what it was
Roquan on the defense being a triple crown winner “It’s great but that’s a regular season award” He said that what they did in the regular season no longer matters
NEW, from BALTIMORE - John Harbaugh allows ruthless, unnecessary, distasteful touchdown pass at end of 56-19 win
*How did Dolphins feel about Harbaugh's full-throttle approach?
*Bradley Chubb had just been carted off with apparently serious knee injury
*There was 2:33 left and…
I asked John Harbaugh whether they’ve discussed changing playcalling duties but he didn’t want anything to do with that. Instantly shut down the idea that it could happen and said he has faith in all his coaches

Jaxxon Corey Woodland was born last night and weighed 8 lbs 1 oz. Mom and baby are doing great! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to be there because I tested positive for Covid but thanks to his grandma I was there virtually. Blessings 🙌🏾💙
ESPN Sources: Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams is likely to miss the postseason with his injured right knee. Adams, who underwent a stem cell injection a month ago, has been out with a PCL sprain since late January.
I asked John Harbaugh about his challenge on the Demarcus Robinson TD. He said that he called the challenge to pretty much slow down the 2 point conversion and get a timeout
It’s honestly uncomfortable watching him have to defend himself and say repeatedly he’s a QB. Anybody saying he couldn’t throw coming out of college clearly didn’t watch him. Further proof that representation in the media and front offices matter
With the NFL Scouting Combine kicking off, a reminder that after a fantastic college football career as a quarterback at Louisville, Lamar Jackson had to answer repeated questions at the combine about whether he could play the position at the next level
Also, really wish the Ravens had said this instead of letting the narratives run wild. They heard the questions about him quitting on his team and not traveling and they in my opinion didn’t do enough to kill that narrative
@boatsnbohs
After I traveled to the Pittsburgh game my PCL got inflated so a few of us discussed it and I got the ok to stay so I could try in recover faster.
Marlon Humphrey says that when he tried to recruit his fellow Pro Bowlers to Baltimore, they wanted to know if the Ravens were going to pay Lamar Jackson.
Mark Andrews did a little more today than he did Friday. He looked pretty good to me running routes. He definitely was running at a higher speed today than he was on Friday. We’ll see how his week progresses but I was pleasantly surprised with how good he looked today
EDC said he got a text from Lamar saying "I think we can get a deal done" just as Trae Young hit that dagger 3 in Game 5 vs the Celtics. EDC said he told Lamar "You just saved my night"

owner Arthur Blank told a group of reporters that the Lamar Jackson situation is "very different" than Deshaun Watson from a year ago. Blank did mention there's some concern with Lamar's style and how long it could hold up. He brought up the games he's missed over the…
Lamar’s arm strength is really underrated. He barely flicks his wrist here and the ball shoots off his hand. Great play here by Beckham as well who’s been unguardable all camp
#RavensFlock
Lamar was asked about what’s contributed to him leading the league in completion % and he gave this look saying “What if I don’t have an answer” He went on to give credit to the guys around him
If Dobbins is indeed doing a hold in (which I don’t know if he is) it might be one of the most useless tactics we’ve seen. I don’t think the Ravens would miss a beat if they have to go out there with Gus and Justice. I like Dobbins but this ain’t the way if it’s what he’s doing
That Ravens flight home is going to be great and rightfully so. They came out on Christmas night and beat the absolute crap out of the Niners. They look like the best team in the NFL and Lamar looks like the MVP
Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee
Bob in Parkville can be a menace at times lol calls into my show and a lot of the other shows on 105.7 The Fan here in Baltimore. I take his calls but I also know when to let him go lol
Felix Bautista just got off the mound. He threw about 30+ pitches or so. He’s in the dugout now rewatching and he seems to be in high spirits. Definitely saw some heat on the fastballs. The deception is still there on the breaking ball. Still in wait and see mode I believe tho
I know it’s tough but I wouldn’t let the things people like Richard Sherman say today bother me if I’m a Ravens fan. We all watched the game. If them dudes can’t get up there and simply speak on how dominate the Ravens were and give them their praise without excuses then 🤷🏾♂️
Gus Edwards fumbles and Miami recovers. We'll see if the Ravens defense can hold them...as Im tweeting Geno Stone gets the pick so my question was answered lol
Fun fact: This is Martin’s sister Ursela. She babysat me and my sister. One day after she picked us up from school no lie Martin walked down the steps and I was in a dead silence shock 😂 he was cool tho. Played Mario kart with us. Still friends with her kids
Update: Several people around the NFL believe that the
#Ravens
have strongly considered using the non-exclusive tag on QB Lamar Jackson, per
@JFowlerESPN
That would allow teams to offer Jackson a contract that Ravens can either match or decline in exchange for two 1st-rounders.
People act like Harbs is the one negotiating or making the decision of whether Lamar stays or goes. I believe if it was up to EDC and Harbs, Lamar would be a Raven but this goes above them
I said after the game yesterday that Mahomes and KC coming to Baltimore had to happen. If you wanna be the best you gotta beat the best. Can’t wait to see these two great QBs duke it out in Baltimore
Still talking about valuing draft picks over known commodities. The teams that rushed to publicly say they weren’t interested in Lamar not only have bad QBs but they’re about to fire/fired their coach lol the reality is people convinced themselves that Lamar wasn’t special. Fools

@AdamSchefter
Was Lamar Jackson ever actually going to leave Baltimore last offseason? How many teams regret not calling the MVP? What’s the latest with the collusion case?

I asked John Harbaugh why Gus Edwards didn't play as much "Yea I wasn't too happy about that. Gus should've played more" Said he has no excuse for that
#RavensFlock
What a day. Ravens-Bengals giving us the AFC North rivalry we love but the O’s could also clinch a playoff spot with a win today over division rival Rays. I’m not moving from my couch today
Full circle moment as I’m back at my alma mater
@MorganStBears
for their job fair representing The Fan! I’m going to try my hardest to not turn this into an episode of the office lol
Mark Andrews is indeed back on the practice field. John has been optimistic that he could return and today is a step in the right direction
#RavensFlock
I would have to imagine OBJ has been doing some heavy recruiting with D Hop while they’ve been training together. We’ll see what happens but the Ravens should definitely be interested
I asked Mike if teams had an expensive asking price for some of the “big swings”. He said they did have teams that were fixated on certain prospects that they have no intention of trading
We can say what we want about the way the Ravens have handled this Lamar situation but they have without a doubt killed it so far this offseason with the coaching hires. Chuck Smith is a great hire
If you’ve been listening to me the last few weeks to a month I’ve been saying that I don’t think Lamar wants to be in Baltimore anymore. He confirmed that today. This will go down as one of the all time fumbles
in regards to my future plans. As of March 2nd I requested a trade from the Ravens organization for which the Ravens has not been interested in meeting my value, any and everyone that’s has met me or been around me know I love the game of football and my dream is to help a team
