00:00But we'll be right back.

00:03Making moves to try to fortify your team.

00:05Many NFL teams will do that before the trade deadline hits next Tuesday.

00:09And one of those teams that's actually making moves is the Baltimore Ravens.

00:13Did they get a true number one wide receiver?

00:14No, but they got a very good piece here.

00:16Adam Schefter tweeted yesterday, Carolina is sending wide receiver Deontay Johnson to

00:20the Baltimore Ravens, which means the white flag comes up in Carolina.

00:25Understandably, Deontay Johnson, who was a very good player, had a couple issues with

00:29drops with the Pittsburgh Steelers, signed a lucrative deal down there with Carolina,

00:33now lines up in Baltimore, which is interesting to me because you add another piece to the

00:39puzzle, Dubsy, instead of getting into it deep right now, what were your first thoughts

00:43on Deontay Johnson headed over now to the Baltimore Ravens?

00:47It's a spoil of riches now for the best offense in the NFL.

00:51It's always going to be that run heavy offense, but certainly not a bad addition here.

00:56Deontay Johnson, never going to be that true one, but you really don't need him to be.

01:00And for the Ravens to continue to roll at this point of the season, you can make the

01:04argument one of the best teams.

01:07Another fantastic wide receiving option there for a star quarterback, Lamborghini Lamar

01:12Jackson.

01:13You look at some of the other compliments we've got in the likes of Zay Flowers.

01:17You've got Bateman.

01:18You've got arguably the best one-two punch with your tight ends in Mark Ingram, who's

01:22looked fantastic.

01:23He's suddenly getting a lot more looks than Isaiah Lightly.

01:26You've got the best running back, maybe the best season we've ever seen from a run game

01:31there with King Henry, Derrick Henry.

01:33So for the Ravens, you've got to love this addition.

01:37Not good for the Panthers there to lose one of their star pieces, but obviously it's been

01:40time to sell the farm there for a very long time.

01:43So I love this pickup for Baltimore, Deontay Johnson.

01:46We're talking about teams who've got that depth, teams who are trying to fend off the

01:49old injury struggles coming into week nine.

01:52Certainly not the case here for Baltimore, who look fantastic at this point of the year.
