Hopkins to the Ravens

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fin's got DeAndre Hopkins, mister trouble. I was actually just

(00:05):
so I have a little spreadsheet, guys that brings all
the news in from Twitter and Facebook at ESPN and
it puts it all in one little, nice little spreadsheet
where I can read through it. And I was scrolling
through and I saw that de hop signed with the Baltimorevers.
I believe it's a one year kind of was was
it fifteen million dollars d if? I'm not mistaken, But
DeAndre Hopkins guys to the Ravens might sound like a

(00:27):
great thing, might move the needle in some of the
fan base's eyes. But me on the surface, I think
Alpha Rob said said it best last night that DeAndre
Hopkins is kind of over that hill, right, he had
what twelve games with Patrick Maholmes and the Kansas City
Chiefs and he readed a whole lot of nothing. Right.
Matter of fact, he had two big drops in the

(00:48):
playoffs that are in the Super Bowl alone. Then I'm
not saying it cost the Kansait Chiefs the game, but
definitely cost him the momentum to potentially win that game.
And to be honest, the Balton More Ravens didn't really
need any receiver help, right. They have Zay Flowers still,
they have Rashad Bateman, they had Nelson Aguilar, and plus
they got Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely as well. Now

(01:12):
d hop is gonna be the probably the second or
third option on on on on that team. However, DeAndre
Hopkins is a route running type of quarter or a
route running type of receiver. He is not a free
lance type of guy. He is a get out there
and kind of run routes and kind of be that

(01:32):
possessive guy and like he isn't gonna burn you. He
like isn't gonna be like, uh, beating you up over
the top. Like that's just not his body of work
any lot, like anymore. Now, on paper, it sounds awesome
on Madden, it sounds awesome. Sitting here on a on
a radio show, on a TV show, it sounds awesome.

(01:55):
But when you get down to the nuts and bolts
of it, I do not think DeAndre Hopkins will jive
well with that Baltimore Ravens offense. I don't think he's
gonna jive well with Zay Flowers. I don't think he's
gonna jive well with Nelson Aguilar or Rashad Baby Bateman,
And honestly, it would not shock me one bit if
the Ravens are strictly picking him up for some trade

(02:18):
value down the road, maybe before the Halloween trade deadline
or this or that. But the simple fact oh the
matter is, yes, they did sign DeAndre Hopkins. Yes it
is good news on fans' eyes. Right. Hey, we're making
some moves. We aren't just being stagnant where we are,
not being like the Dallas Cowboys. But truth be told,

(02:39):
I don't think it's a needle mover. I don't think
it's an a needle mover at all. And I'm just
I would not get very hyped about it, to be honest,
