00:05ravens make a big splash friday night trading for max crosby and we know he's a great player
00:10but what exactly are they getting in max crosby well let's go to someone who would know better
00:15than us uh kirk morrison former raiders player now part of raiders radio joins us and kirk uh
00:21it's just from afar it seems like max crosby and by the way thanks for joining us he seems like
00:26he's just all about ball he lives football and just a super intense guy what are the ravens getting in
00:34max crosby yeah i think he kind of summed it up best right there he's all about ball just wants
00:39to play football wants to work out uh wants to work hard uplift his teammates leads by example
00:45not a big rock rock guy puts his head down and just goes out there and he's max he goes
00:51and plays like
00:52max he's not necessarily a guy who's if if ravens fans are expecting you know 20 sacks this year
00:59that's just not going to happen he's not that kind of player he is a disruptor he is a guy
01:05who's going
01:05to get sacks but also tackles for loss and make impactful plays that allows the defense or others
01:13on defense to make plays or even get off the field so a lot of his plays i always say
01:19they don't go
01:20down necessarily in the stat sheet as a play of like of sacks it's impactful plays that help out
01:28the entire team and that's what you're going to see game in and game out kirk something that really
01:34blows me away about max crosby is you can't take this guy off the field his final five games as
01:42a
01:42raider he played 100 of the snaps and you mentioned it just how well-rounded he is as a player
01:48uh defending
01:49the run and getting after the quarterback but just does it surprise you seeing a defensive lineman
01:55play every single snap like he did no it doesn't surprise me because again he's the first guy in
02:02the locker room uh at the facility he's the last guy out uh everyone always says they want to work
02:07out with max until they work out with max i'm like okay i can't work out with this guy again
02:11man he's on
02:12something totally different and everybody has their own thing but max he's gonna outwork you
02:17he's going to uh be in the best of shape uh keeps his body as healthy as possible plays through
02:23everything you cannot take the guy off the field and i know he was upset that he could have played
02:29those final two games for the raiders last year but it was best for both parties that hey max you
02:34don't need to play this game it's not our last two game you're more valuable for us if you don't
02:38play
02:38meaning that if we keep you you're going to be a staple for this team you're the face of our
02:43franchise but then also too if you know the trade happens then possibly you're going to be a face of
02:49another team's franchise and so that's what raider nation uh saw from him week in and week out
02:55uh unrelentious a relentless football player every single game that will just not come off the field
03:03that's what the ravers are getting we're talking with kirk marson's inside access here on the fan
03:08kirk the video that he put out this weekend i i don't know that i've ever seen anything like it
03:13uh just he repeatedly spoke of his love for the raiders and don't get me wrong he spoke about how
03:20he's got business to do here in baltimore and he wants to win a super bowl but just the repeated
03:24just this this i guess love and respect he has for that franchise even though quite frankly he didn't do
03:31a lot of winning there yeah but i think that uh the key words in that with that look i
03:38i failed you
03:39i failed you because as the leader of a guy who was drafted in the fourth round who ascended with
03:47this team the goal was always to win a super bowl and by this team not winning a super bowl
03:52during his
03:53tenure he felt like that his performances were a failure um he gave everything that he got and he
03:59wanted to let the fans know like this he didn't come to this decision uh alone he didn't come to
04:05this decision just because okay i'm done i'm ready to move on and that's it see you later raiders like
04:10no uh we wrapped our arms around him um as a player as a person whether it was on the
04:17field or what he
04:18dealt with off the field early in his career he's the last link actually to the oakland raiders one of
04:24the
04:24last links you know he was drafted to the oakland raiders and then you know when the team moved to
04:29las vegas in 2020 then you know he was everyone still was like well we got max right we got
04:35colton
04:36miller those were like our guys aj cole only four guys left remaining and now max is gone so you
04:42have
04:42that connection there but the the sincerity in his voice um just his love for the raiders organization
04:49and everybody he mentioned like he wanted to let him know let everybody know that look hey
04:55i'm i'm i'm i want to thank you for everything but i have to do what's best for me and
05:00i don't blame
05:01him he played for five coaches in seven years four general managers i mean he saw a lot and so
05:07he
05:08thoughtfully explained all of that last week kirk uh max had been incredibly durable up until a couple
05:17years ago the last couple years he's missed a couple of games his pressure numbers were down
05:21slightly last year but we know he's dealing with the injury at the end just 29 years old this isn't
05:27a guy at the end of his career but do you still believe he has a a lot more elite
05:32play left in him
05:34yes the thing is max has never been a big sack guy um he's been a pressure guy he's been
05:40a tackle for
05:42a lost guy he doesn't come off the field because he plays the run extremely well um he plays the
05:46pass extremely well um a lot of his stats people don't mark down look at all the batted passes that
05:52he has or knockdowns you know what i mean like oh it doesn't go down for a pressure rate but
05:56i also
05:57saw his team getting off the field on third down because he knocked the pass down right but it doesn't
06:01go on one of those you know those uh i call the pretty stats right he doesn't go into those
06:06pretty
06:06stats and so um it looks like well he had a down year but when you're watching it and i
06:11had a chance
06:12to watch all of them this past season all 17 of them below 15 for max yeah i mean he's
06:18out there
06:18i mean if you want to if if ravens fans want to watch a game i i ask all ravens
06:26fans who have a nfl
06:27subscription to turn on the chicago bears game against the raiders he's single-handedly that was
06:34probably one of the greatest defensive performance i've ever seen and yet at the end of the day the
06:38raiders lose the game on a block field goal at the end if you watch that game that to me
06:44it just epitomizes who max crosby is but watch how he dominates that offensive line watch how he puts
06:51caleb williams all game long just unbelievable what he was doing to caleb williams watch that game and
06:59that will show you the type of player that the ravens are getting kirk i also feel like the the
07:05ravens
07:06are getting a guy that they really haven't in the building as far as it being that that combo
07:11pass rush against the run all that stuff they haven't had that kind of dude since terrell suggs
07:15and a guy that commands double teams who i feel like is going to be a force multiplier to make
07:21other
07:21guys better am i on the right track there yeah and and i don't want to take anything away from
07:26terrell suggs but he wasn't suggs he was never a big 20 sack a year guy right no he would
07:32he was
07:32always a guy that was in that range that played on pro bowl level all pro level but he was
07:38between
07:39the 12 to 17 18 sacks but to be honest his most impactful plays was when he didn't get to
07:45the
07:45quarterback and the quarterback will be on his back right then the ball's floating in the air and
07:50a teammate picks it off or he's stopping to run you know or a tackle for loss you know i
07:56told people
07:56sometimes you don't understand when there's a second down play and max crosby gets a you know a six
08:02yard tackle for loss it is third and 16 and the offense has to find a way to convert and
08:07they
08:07don't convert well a lot of it was because of the second and down play made by max crosby i
08:12saw
08:13terrell suggs do that countlessly and he also did it to me in college as well that's what i was
08:17going
08:18against but uh but it's those types of plays that when you really break down the film you'll sit back
08:24and say oh okay i get that oh i see now oh it was that play when how crucial was
08:31that play or even a
08:32first down play that can result in a touchdown and max you know makes the quarterback have to
08:37hurry the throw it's going to be the little plays and more importantly i think it's the plays down
08:43the stretch because i don't max crosby is not a guy who's going to wear down he stays in great
08:47shape
08:48and i think he'll be in straight shape if the ravens have a deep playoff run so max crosby comes
08:53to
08:54baltimore tyler linderbaum goes to vegas on a three-year three-year 81 million dollar contract what did
09:01you think of that signing kirk yeah i mean the raiders were zeroing in i mean i'll be honest i
09:07didn't think that we had a chance i mean with so many raven descendants around the league whether it's
09:13you know todd monken over in in balt i mean over in uh cleveland or john harbaugh now right over
09:19in
09:19new york whether it's um you know even just you know jesse mentor staying i mean are being the head
09:26coach over in baltimore or john or sorry jim harbaugh here in los angeles like i'm just looking
09:33all the way around like man like there's so many other spots that he may fall in love with but
09:39he
09:39fell in love with las vegas i'm so excited for him because um he's going to change everything about
09:45this offensive line um pretty sure he's probably going to have a young quarterback to work with as
09:50well which uh which is going to be uh good for us but man you talk about the uh the
09:57bell of the ball
09:58when it comes to free agency uh the raiders got a chance to to get him and i i should
10:03be asking you
10:04guys one thing about tyler lindenbaum that i could tell my folks down here in the desert in vegas
10:08he's a great dude he's a really good center he was hurt this year he's undersized and the guards were
10:14terrible for the ravens last year so that hurt him so if you have decent guards around him he he's
10:19a stud
10:20center but like he's there's one the one down grade is he's undersized so you can't have terrible
10:26guard play around him got it yeah that's uh something the raiders will definitely be working
10:32on still got some cap space still got a draft to work with as well but uh we'll see with
10:37the new
10:38head coach and clint kubiak uh he started a you know a a rookie guard and an undrafted free agent
10:45at
10:45center uh for the seahawks last year and they helped them get to the super bowl so we'll see
10:50what he and uh rick dennison i think was also on that raven staff a while ago yes you've got
10:55some
10:55uh we've got some folks that hopefully can can whip this offensive line and get it in order and
11:01uh hopefully uh lender bomb is going to be the key to all of that kirk marston this was great
