Speaker 1 (00:00):
On the factor crap. Rashan Bateman. After a rocky start
to his career dealing with Andrews in year one and two,
Rashad Bateman finally put together a full season, a productive
season in twenty twenty four. He hauled in forty five
catches for seven hundred fifty six yards a nine touchdown,
all career highs. On top of that, he recorded thirty
(00:21):
five first downs, which is actually a big deal in Baltimore,
where the passing game traditionally run through tight ends and
Lamar Jackson's legs. So, guys, Rashad Bateman was a true
wide receiver to last season, quietly stepping up behind Jay
Flowers and Mark Andrews while still carving out big enough
role to help Lamar hit new heights as a passer.
In fact, in the first time ever in Lamar's career
(00:43):
that three different Ravens pass catchers caught thirty plus first downs.
That's just not pat that patting, guys, that is a
cluck production. But now with DeVante Adams in town, Bateman's
role could be overshadowed yet again, which brings us to
today's Skuys factor. Yeah, so guys, factor crap is for
Sean Bateman, the most underappreciated player in the NFL. Listen, guys,
(01:11):
Bateman had a solid season. He did what was asked
of him. He played his role. But less not confused
that for being the most underappreciated guy in the league,
his job is to be the unsung hero. That's the design.
He's not the wide receiver one. He's not the centerpiece
of the offense, and in Baltimore that's never going to
be a wide receiver anyway. Let's just be honest. So, guys,
(01:33):
I am calling crap. You want to talk about underappreciated
receiver in the in the NFL or player in the
NFL in general. Let's talk about Jalen Waddle, who's quietly
putting up elite numbers behind Tyree Kill and still doesn't
get any recognization. Or how about this, Let's let's talk
about Devonte Smith, who's been a consistent playmaker in Philly.
(01:54):
Wow Wow, aj Brown grabs the spotlight. Even Nico Collins
in Houston had a breakout year and helps Drowd look
like a season vet, but yet no one outside of
Houston has talked about him the way they should. God
Rashad Bateman is not getting any disrespect. He's not. He's
he's just not being elevated to a level he hasn't
earned yet. He's a key piece in Baltimore, no doubt
(02:15):
about it, but he's not carrying that offense and he's
not a top two is here in the league right now.
So let me say it again, fac to crap, he's
Rashad Bateman, the most underappreciated in the player in the NFL.
I'm saying crap. I'm saying crap. But what what do
you guys think? He's Rashad Bateman more valuable than he
gets credit for, or the other guy's flying way further
(02:37):
under the under the radar. Guys, hit the subscribe, but
hit the like button. Remember we're live every month through Friday,
nine pm East Coast time. Right here, ubukam for his
last matter, it's a live interact. The show is to
calm down below to join the conversation. Derrek says, what
year is he going into? He's going into his third
or fourth year? Going into his fourth year, fourth year
(02:58):
into the NFL. Derek, but Derek staying crap? Derek, who
is the more undervalued player in the NFL? I gave
you a couple Jalen Waddle, DeVante Smith. I would even
(03:21):
say Deebo Samuel. Interesting, interesting, interesting thoughts, But guys, let's
go ahead and wrap it up for the day. Let's
go ahead and wrap it up.
