Joe Fagnano

I mean, I'm not gonna lie though, um, P- P- Piñeiro, um, basically played a, a lot better than Mendoza, right? Um, f- based on his pre-season play, Fa- Pany- I, I mean, I can't even say it.

Um, Fagnano should have, um, should have gone number one overall, let's be honest.

The, the, the Raiders-

Yeah

Got a little question for the team.

Uh, we saw in the Seahawks-Pats game the impact that can happen when you lose your star receiver, when you lose your starting quarterback.

How do you think the Ravens would cope if we lost Lamar? I mean, we had a few conversations in pre-season about Richie's favorite, Fagnano.

Uh, we've also obviously had a lot of conversation about Jacoby Lane.

I've got an outline of where I think those guys start, but I'm going to go through them one at a time, and I'll name one that you need in the next kind of thing.

Joe Fagnano, I think, is QB3, so he does not have to be active on game day.

That's a fairly obvious one.

Right, because you have the free option to let it play without using your spot.

Obviously not going to show your whole playbook in the preseason, but you know, we saw a lot of play action rollouts from Tyler Huntley, which I thought was really cool.

And Joe Fagnano as well, who made the team as a third quarterback.

So yeah, I think that it's a really intriguing matchup for sure, because Andrews is somebody that I think needs a fast start here.

And, you know, the Colts are always going to look to shut him down.

So I think to me, you know, you look at this offense and I think one of the things I'm really excited about, it's all, it's a couple of things for me personally, play action game.

We're looking forward to seeing that more, especially with some of the rollouts we saw Joe Fagnano and, you know, Tyler Huntley do over the course of the preseason.

I love that.

I also love, really want to see the ball just be spread around a little bit more.

Maybe less surprises than we expected.

We talked about a number of these situations, Joe Fagnano, Ethan Burke, making it in as UDFAs re-establishing that golden rule for the Ravens of having UDFAs on their roster.

But we largely expected those, given the way that they played, they were sort of too good to let go.

Andrew Voorhees does sneak in.

So we'll see how they progress over the first few weeks of the season.

James, any surprises there? Notable standouts in any of that from who did make the roster?

Joe Fagnano is someone to talk about in that regard.

Not that his level of play dictated that he shouldn't have made the roster like that.

Because even in practice, there were snaps where Tyler Huntley, of course, was the backup, and then it was Skylar Thompson.

And then very briefly, Joe Fagnano and Skylar got banged up a little bit.

Fagnano was able to fill in.

And even in that moment, I remember turning and talking – it may have been you – talking to somebody and being like, He doesn't look uncomfortable.

But, man, he still was dicing up a defense.

He was confident in his ability to deliver.

I was really impressed with Joe Fagnano.

So as we go along, the conversation then turns to, okay, can he make the roster? Because you know Lamar's making it, obviously.
