00:00Let's talk about Deontay Johnson on his third team in literally two years.
00:10Got traded to Carolina, then he moved to Baltimore, then he refuses to go in the game and now
00:16he's been suspended.
00:18What is the problem with this guy?
00:19Yeah, there are a couple of things here that I want to talk about.
00:22We'll talk about this one first and there's another story on defense, which is also surprising.
00:26So Deontay Johnson went out of Pittsburgh.
00:28That's the real story.
00:30He wanted out of there and he got traded to Carolina.
00:34It didn't work there.
00:36And when you look at this situation, when he gets traded to Baltimore, they already
00:39had pretty good depth.
00:40He was just added for depth.
00:41I don't think he was happy with his role.
00:43And Scott, for four games that he was available for, he had one catch on five targets.
00:48He honestly was not happy.
00:51But when you refuse to go into a game, I got to tell you, when reading the transcript that
00:56I got from the Ravens on Monday after their game against the Eagles, and when John Harbaugh
01:02was cryptic, he wouldn't say exactly what the issue was.
01:09But now we know what it is.
01:11And it was almost like, OK, is he bent or are you going to cut him?
01:14Because remember, as you said, they traded for him.
01:17They did give a draft competition on a lot to get him and he's on the final year's deal.
01:20I know he's frustrated.
01:23But Scott, it's not just the Deontay Johnson situation, which is ridiculous.
01:28Marcus Williams, Scott, is making $12 million this season.
01:32He got benched two weeks ago.
01:34This is one of the highest paid safeties in football.
01:37Over $14 million a year and he's making $14 this season.
01:40And he got benched for a Darius Washington.
01:43So you look at these two veteran players or pretty talented players who don't have a role
01:47right now.
01:48This is team turmoil.
01:49What is going on with the Ravens?
01:50You don't hear a lot about this stuff.
01:51But we're hearing about it now.
01:52What's going on?
01:53It sounds like they're malcontents.
01:58I think, well, here's the thing with Marcus Williams got benched right now.
02:04Harbaugh was asked about it.
02:06He basically said, more or less, it's for performance and that's fine.
02:10But this is not good.
02:12When you're trying to, right now about the Ravens, Scott, let's call it like it is.
02:16With the Broncos way ahead of schedule, it's no longer trying to win a division.
02:20It's about trying to make the playoffs.
02:23That loss against Philly, they got humiliated at home.
02:26The kicker is struggling.
02:28Justin Tucker has never kicked like this before, this poorly.
02:31They got a lot of negativity going around with that, the Ravens team right now.
02:33And it's certainly very surprising.
