Transcript

okay and just and just so you know I don't see the we in that back room it doesn't show me record no no more you fixed it oh finally yeah and then when I and then now when you in the room now it's it's blinking like it's like it's like there's a there's a clear separation between the one and I like that. I be working, bro. I be taking a review. Yeah. But, but, but, but fuck all that. A lot of people don't know that we're talking about our own stuff.

Right. Right. So, yeah, son, we back. We back. It's just, it's just We got a lot to talk about. It's just you and me today.

Yeah, man. It was a big day. It was a big day. Ravens played. Ravens played the Vikings. The long way we've been waiting.

We've been seeing all the clips coming out of the joint practices all week. So now we have to finally see what it is. And the Ravens was victorious. How are we feeling? The defense looked like they're hitting out there. They're playing faster.

It was a couple Mishaps But I'm good with the defense Especially in the second half We stopped the fourth down at the goal line Like we hitting out there So I'm good Yeah the main thing That I see with the defense It looks connected It looks very It looks complimentary It looks like the pass rush is leading the quarterback to a direction where the defenders are at. Like, it feels that way. Or there's pressure that's leading the quarterback to have to throw hot to a direction where the defenders are at. Like, it's just there's connection. There's not a lot of – we did have one big play over the top today. Just a – you know, that's a guy that might not even make the – actually, that was that white boy.

He was playing corner. The guy that picked the pick in the second half? Walter, yeah, they ended up picking the second half. In the first half, he got burnt, and he got a little moss action in the first half. They ended up not even scoring on that drive. But aside from that, the defense played very well.

Defense played very well, top to bottom. I saw a Mike Green sack, so that was good to see. to see he actually took over a drive early took over the drive one quick one little quick dip got the sack then came back the next play swim move got in there and uh would have got the sack basically leaned in would have got the sack but got held got completely held so so drew the penalty and that drive. Yeah, Mike Green showed itself. Another defensive assignment that I saw Isaac Adai Isaac he been hurt over a couple years but I'm done with him. What? I'm done with him.

We got this other guy What'd I say? Burke? Burke, defensive lineman out of Oregon. He's a rookie. He looked good out there. He popping.

He was popping. We need to keep him. Number 45. Ethan Burke. Ethan Burke, number 45. Pop in.

Pop in. Get him in the game. Get him on the squad. Get him on the 53. You can't let him go. He had a pass defense.

He had A fumble recovery He had a sack And a tackle for loss Yeah Sign that man Sign that man No debate Simple and plan I do feel like Those should have been touchdowns With the Vikings They were drop passes But they was open On that goal line Yeah in the regular season I feel like those those were big catches. I mean, sure, maybe. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's still, it's still like, JJ McCarthy was a starter last year. Every quarterback's not going to be Joe Burrow.

Every quarterback, like, yes, if it's against, if it's against a quarterback that's dealing at the time, Matt Stafford, if it's against, I'm not even going to say Josh Allen, he ain't in that. Joe Burrow, type shit or one of the top guys they're gonna yeah you're gonna get diced up but if you're in that bottom half it's a backup qb a rookie qb they might they might miss that they might oh they might get nervous get happy feet so yeah i mean we was that we was we we did get we did get beat on the play i saw play happen like they they the guy switched and then he moved out and they were supposed to tag off, but they didn't. So they stayed and then they got crossed up and then the dude got open, wide open. But J.J. McCarthy, man, what you mean? That's the worst top pick I've ever seen.

Alright. Yeah. I mean, I agree with all of that. I really do. You know what I'm saying? Like you said, I'm basing it off of top tier quarterbacks.

True. I wanted to talk about, well, I guess we can finish with the game now. So special teams, what you think? Special teams in the state. Eckler. Austin Eckler?

Our puncher? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I ain't never felt like that with Stout. Stout ain't never made me feel like this. I ain't never had butterflies with Stout. and he the highest paid punter in the league now right he was so he was a good punter right this dude is is super nice he was putting that down like 50 he didn't get no he only had the 10 yards because he was backed up to the two right he even had a full limp he still he blew that jump be out behind behind the 40 every time the punter every time the punk is trying to gotta gotta get it he got a retreat yeah i mean even text the group chat yeah i'm like lord he's 55 yards 60 yards so yeah that's that's that's a weapon you know what i'm saying uh a little note about the game let me see i think i took a picture of it I'm still looking at it so the Vikings beat us in just about every statistical category okay right all the way down from aside from the score total plays they had 61 to 53 yards 299 to 242 it's pretty much a wash total drives 10 for 10 Everything's a wash. 184 to 234 in passing. 50-yard difference.

No biggie. What it comes down to, two turnovers to zero turnovers. We played a clean game. We played a clean game offensively. It was a boring game. Yeah.

Another thing that I noticed, and maybe this is just a product of it. Snoop and Fagnano was being, they were being very, yeah, like tentative a lot, a lot mostly with their passing. But I think it's because they, I think it's because they close. I think, I think they, they did, that's a, I think that's a legitimate competition. You know what I'm saying? Like you can't like take chances.

Like if Snoop didn't feel like he nobody was about to take his spot, I feel like he might have took a few more chances. He might throw a pick out there. Yeah. I agree with you, man. Like, Nano, he get that ball out of there, man. And he seems like he runs the offense smoothly.

He can read defenses. I mean, he's, yeah, like you said, he's on Huntley. But, like, I mean, Huntley has decent stats. but man it looked like that for Huntley being a veteran that he might be at like a a big improvement that you would expect for him just relying on his athleticism that whole time it just seems like that it's not as much as improvements as you would expect and then we compare him Lamar Lamar is a totally different quarterback improvement wise year to year, even to the smallest details. And we kind of expect that from only as well. Yeah, man. I mean, at the end of the day, bro, we're talking about now for better or for worse, we know, we know what the, what the Pro Bowl mean or what it's been meaning over the last few years but for better or for worse Tyler Huntley is a former Pro Bowl quarterback You expect a former Pro Bowl quarterback stepping out onto a preseason football field in week You're not playing against any first teamers.

You're playing against all backups and some potential guys that won't be playing football in a couple of weeks. Right. Like, you expect him to have full control of that, and it didn't look like he had his finger on the post. Now, don't get it twisted. We hadn't run the ball. Maybe it was play calling.

Maybe the offensive line didn't do him no favors. There's other. I know it's not just his situation. but conversely I watched Fagnano deal with the same circumstance and look better at it so yeah it's totally different styles of quarterback you know Hartley is kind of like a backyard quarterback Lamar can do both right you can go depending on the situation yeah man we got a competition man it's gonna be and he seems like he's getting better every week so yeah yeah it looked different when he was out there and it was a couple throws where I was like oh he got a little arm to him too oh okay like he couldn't step into that he went for the 15 yarder instead of the 5 yarder he let it go he let it rip a little bit yeah I like to see that yo I'm the top around our defense was switching the plays up like five four seconds enough like we was in like regular season mode like our defense is is confusing they clicking out there yeah they communicating yeah I mean as I was saying bro connected they they just like it's like they're already in this flow where like nobody's trying to overstep nobody everybody know where everybody else supposed to be at and everybody's in their spot and Everybody's tackling well. That's what it definitely feel like. I'm like, dang. I can't wait to see what it looks like with the starters out there.

And we got four weeks, bro. What's our schedule again? Pull up the schedule? Where we at? Talking about four weeks for the season or four weeks? Like the first Our first four weeks of the season Is I share it Saints, Colts Cowboys Saints, Colts, Cowboys Bears Saints, Colts Nah, you got Colts, Saints Colts, Saints Colts, Saints, Cowboys Titans Falcons Browns so like right there right there that right right in that little bubble I feel like that's how that's our tune-up part of the season that's where we figuring stuff out that's where we because we're gonna be able to shut these teams the fuck down like the Saints are gonna be we're gonna we're gonna have the Saints in a blender we're gonna have the Colts in a blender we're gonna have the cow the Cowboys won't be able to the Cowboys won't get they they They're going to get their rocks off a little bit, I think.

But we're going to hold our own. The Titans are going to be in trouble. The Falcons are going to be in trouble. The Browns are going to be struggling. Like, that right there is where our defense is going to have, like, I don't know. We might have a crazy rating defensively at that point just because of our matchups and who the quarterbacks were.

It's like we didn't really see nobody but that. But the offense is going to be figuring it out. Lord have mercy for everybody to catch it after that. Lord have mercy for everybody to catch it after that. The Bengals, the Bills, the Ducks, Chargers, Panthers, Texas, we're going to be clicking by then. I don't want us to lose against the Cowboys.

I feel like that we might have to we might we might have to just for like a you might have to just in the grand scheme of things but i don't know we might not bro we're this this team defensively is going to be good immediately right so so that so that just puts that in perspective like the team isn't going to be out there getting getting torched getting cooked left week in weekend and week out giving of 400 yards total yards like that like it was under oh my goodness Zach War and I love Zach War as a player I love him as a player but that it was premature to put him at defensive coordinator by John Harbaugh everything all roads lead back to John yeah that was one of the things I was going to throw on you bro I feel like that John Harbaugh is being kind of sold out for last season with the players. Take this John off the screen, bro. Hold on. Stop. So I feel like that, you know, John's been singled out as a reason the Ravens you know, failed to make the playoffs last year. And the players are speaking on it publicly.

I don't agree with that I don't agree I don't think that That should be handled that way And also I believe that it kind of like Puts Puts you in a position where You better win a Super Bowl You know If you talk and all that And John Harbaugh's a problem and all that stuff It puts pressure on the team Because they better show something Because John Harbaugh's not on the team anymore So what you think? I mean, just to address it directly, the reason why stuff wasn't able to be said about John Harbaugh while he was a coach for the Ravens is because John Harbaugh ruled with an iron fist and he didn't really offer. He shut down a lot of stuff. He shut down a lot of people's statements and sentiments about how the training was and how, you know what I'm saying, he kept everything in-house. So, yeah, I just don't, I just don't really agree that it's like they're selling them out. It's just like this is information and stuff that's coming out now, now that John Harbaugh doesn't have his finger on the information pipeline like he did prior. because he's not the coach of the Ravens no more.

So now people are talking about him as a coach for the Ravens. No one was going to talk about him as the coach for the Ravens while he was a coach for the Ravens. That's the smear. Now the information coming out is just, this is what happens when you shut it down. It comes out later, and now he's not the coach of the Ravens, but this is just when it comes out. Right, but you know that John's never going to retaliate publicly.

What can he say? He did it. right but i mean people could defend themselves but what are you defending no it's like it's like it's like saying it's like saying we we caught you we caught you with a slave and then and then and then you like no we said no we caught you and it's like what is it what's your defense it's like we caught we caught you though we have it we have you yeah but yeah but But there's been a lot. That's a lot of stuff that coaches know about players that don't hit the media. There's probably been a lot of times when John's covered for players. It's a lot of personal stuff that probably we don't even know. And as far as making mistakes as players, John knows all of that.

But I'm saying so. So what? What I'm saying is that John can probably defend himself, but he's not. he's going to take the high road bro for him to just start throwing out old allegations or or just to start just randomly that would that would say more about that would say more about his uh how he feels about it than anything honestly it would look nasty it would look it would look nasty it would it would look like that's what girls do right that's just not honorable that's just not that's just not like what a man would do yeah that's kind of what i'm saying but this is but but but if someone's asking you which how your previous coach was would she pose it just always lie and keep it positive you know you got to play the media game man keep it positive um say the differences between the coaches but still say you know keep it keep it don't use john as a a punching bag why the season was so bad last year, whether it's true or not. I mean, first, to be fair, I don't think anybody's done that specifically. I think that's a lot of conjecture and rumor and the Ravens fans reading into statements that the players are making. The players are making regular statements saying like oh yeah we just been getting a lot of stuff is what we been wanting to a little bit more there something a little bit more communicative Like they not saying it, or sometimes they'll be like, and that's just something we haven't had here before.

Like that's not saying John Harbaugh isn't detail oriented. It's just saying we're now experiencing a level of detail that we weren't experiencing before but yo but but pause that though that's why we that's why we couldn't get over the hump because that's that but that's what he said that no one said that no one's saying that it's just hear me out hear me out hear me out john's job at the nfo level is details right like like that's his job i mean that's the That's why he's fired. That's the problem, but that's kind of low-key. That's a jab, bro. But he's fired. He's fired.

That's why he's fired. I think that's obvious. I mean, you've seen the video when the new coach, or was it the coach's defensive coordinator? Was it the coach? One of the coaches told Ronnie Stanley that he can tell when he's throwing or passing because he's selling it. Selling it early, yep.

I was like, Stanley was blown away. And I'm like, wow. Ten-year bet. Yeah. He said, oh, I'm telegraphing this? He's like, yeah, we can tell.

So I'm saying being coached, detailed. And you know, Farrah Stanley, after that, I got the most respect for you as I can. Listen, man. Listen, man. I know for a fact. Well, a fact is kind of a lot.

But I know that John Harbaugh relied on Lamar Jackson so much to agree that they had problems, serious problems structurally with the team, and they weren't pressed to correct the problems because of Lamar Jackson's skill. Because of how good Ait is, he decided that they didn't have to get up off a bad offensive lineman. They made a lot of decisions, bro, and it just wasn't all good decisions. And I feel like I think that that's why you that's why you knew the overtraining is why you don't have nothing left in the fourth quarter. Because you have doing they've been doing clean, clean, they've been doing squats since on Thursday and Friday. Yeah.

Yeah. So we now hear all this stuff coming out like, oh, my goodness, is that for real? and now it makes sense but it's not stuff that's going to come out while he's in house but now that he's out of house people will feel more comfortable saying exactly what it was and yeah I just think that you know the writing's been on the wall for a long time if you read the tea leaves or read between the lines it's been obvious that the John Harbaugh ride been kind of done but we but we were stuck with it i've been done i told you bro i've been i've been done with him since he kept greg roman right them extra years ever since he did that i was like oh he ain't he ain't really he ain't got what it take he made one good decision by starting a great player right in the middle of the season and then he just started thinking he could start doing a whole bunch of stuff he started making Zach Ord, defensive coordinators. He started doing a whole bunch of stupid stuff. Why do the Ravens have seven running backs? I mean, I don't think they're going to keep many of them. Rashid Ali's been hurt.

So let's take him off the list for being an option. Derek Henry is solidified. Justice Hill is solidified that's two Rasheed Ali can't play Adam Rangelo is solidified that's three so the three running backs the three running backs that can't play I mean they are solidified and the fourth one if you want to include Rasheed Ali are all guaranteed a spot why would I have guaranteed running backs rep it let's see what else we got so now that's why that's why we got so that's why you see so much jonathan ward you're seeing so much elijah tyle tucker you're seeing so much dante mcmillan it's because i'm not trying to run adam randall no more i've seen enough he's good and rashia ali is hurt and justice hill is literally our second running back and derrick henry is the king so it's like nobody else we got we had to fill it up because we didn't have nobody else that we wanted to give reps to i got what you said we prevent injuries uh the preseason ain't for that no more right and it's the perfect time to see what you got with your other guys yeah okay you know i'm saying give guys opportunities maybe get picked up from another team by putting their film on. So, what's our weak spot, bro? I thought Senna was going to be a weak spot, but it don't seem like it is to me. I haven't really been looking at the battle.

I know they're going, I'm not really noticing anything. I mean, my My assessment would be the offensive line, that's the goal, coming in and gelling and being good, and place kicking. That's where I see where like... Okay. Where I can see us just not being as good as other teams. But all the other positions, I feel like we're better than people.

Our defensive line is better than people's. Yeah. our linebacking corps is better than people's safeties our secondary is way better than people's like we probably we probably got the best secondary in league yeah for real for real if you if you really been like philly and that's only because they make they say cooper jane is so good but i don't think cooper's that good no he nice he nice bro i'll do this in the nickel on the outside he ain't like that he like no I mean he got that then he got a pick in a Super Bowl bro I don't say nothing about that pick in a Super Bowl bro that was like three years ago he got he got he got that tackle with Derek Henry and he got a pick in a Super Bowl can't tell him bro I know you I'm talking about bro says I'm saying highlight plays don't mean you good that's a trick that's a sometimes people do. Yo, yo. I like people. Yo, the whole stadium went silent when he rocked. I've never seen that before.

I've never seen somebody go that with Derrick Henry in full speed. Derrick Henry was shot. He was looking at the hot light. The whole stadium was like. Terrible play calling. It was such a crazy hit that our own stadium showed the replay of it.

Terrible play calling. That dude is crazy, bro. It's terrible. But yeah, for you to even compare how secondary to Philly, you know that they like that, though. Yeah, they got bodies. They got blanket chips.

They got legitimate talent out there. They got the best GM in football, bro. Howie. Yeah, playing playing with them Bitcoin. Yeah, it's his turn right now. I'm telling you, after, after, like, he got about two more seasons before people stopped trading with him, like EDC.

Once you keep getting over on all the teams, people stop trading with you. What you know? Yeah. Yeah. But it's just certain positions that the Ravens are, I mean, every time we drop a tight end, A tight end gets picked up throughout the league. Same with linebackers.

Yeah, we're pretty good at drafting those guys. Tight end of linebackers, yo. But, yeah, EDC kind of messed up. Remember that fucking kicker that was behind Tucker, and he hyped him up? He's the next Justin Tucker. We got like a fifth round pick for him.

Yep, and then he ended up being out the league. finesse yo EDC used to do that all the time and I'm telling you stuff like that makes teams wary dealing with you he will get you yeah he will he will get you so yeah man what so you feeling good about the the Ravens game We're going into week three. The all out blitz was kind of predictable We didn get home I mean we didn play terrible today but we had the Knick pick All blitz with the one corner coverage Without starting corners, I don't think that would have been a problem. Okay. No Jacoby Lane noise today. I saw one catch for about six yards. there's no connections you know what I'm saying that Snoop to Jacoby connection didn't amount to much today and he wasn't on the field much with Fignano had a lot of Western action today but the reality is the reality is Jacoby Lane could be the outside receiver that we did Lamar's been waiting on been missing if we can get if we can get zay flowers and and we might we might get jacoby lane sooner than later with with the allegations coming down the pipe for uh rashad bateman yeah that might have that might have limited his snap count girl what did because if uh bateman gets suspended three games two games oh yeah that means he gonna be out there yeah he gonna be out there getting getting real deal catches yeah I got faith in him bro I just seen the way I just seen the way he grabbed the ball I see yeah I said once you see somebody when they snag the ball that it don't like they like some people catch it and some people just like get like give me like give me that towel give me that give me that out the air that's not that's how you catch he catch like he's grabbing it out the air as opposed to he's just trying to control it. He's never trying to control it.

When the ball comes, I got it. So, yeah, when you catch like that, sky's the limit. I'd be so happy to see Lamar advocate completions. It's like the receiver had to do something extra. Yo, Bateman, don't young wide receivers on his neck, bro. If he missed three to six games. oh yeah he's gonna have trouble getting back in the lineup yeah so right so right and lane will be cooking by then yeah so i mean it's unfortunate you know and the facts aren't all out so we don't know so yeah so with the uh with the situation with him the allegations so basically this is a june 3rd arrest this is a june 3rd arrest came to light on friday so so that's so off the rip that's kind of weird yeah homie you know we had a something that happened in the beginning of summer before summer even kicked off and now here we are august 20th and this information drops so i don't know whether there's video i don't know what what the situation is as far as that's concern um i'm reading here on nbc sports they said the situation is unclear uh why why why got kept under wraps for so long beyond the potential for bateman to land on a commissioner's exempt list is the reality that he could be facing an eventual suspension that exceeds the baseline of six games given that his young daughter was in the car as bateman allegedly sent broken glass flying into it.

So that's the situation. It's unfortunate man. I hope for Big Man. We gotta wait till the facts come out on that. Definitely. Definitely.

But an arrest says something an arrest says something it's not just her story him for him to get arrested not just like removed not like oh okay like you got like you you gotta leave all right you got you know what i'm saying because that's the way they do that and then it's like oh you arrested yeah i mean if if the windshield is broken you go to jail like if there is actual physical evidence that you going to jail. I mean, that has... You can't... Yeah, you can't do that if that's the case. You going to at least go to jail for sure. Physical evidence, you know, you had a disagreement and then you...

They see a windshield broken, a story. Yeah, you going to jail. Yeah. You got to let the facts come out and then... I mean, it's done now. You just got to see what happens but if the facts are true what we reading he gonna be out he gonna be out yeah i'm hoping innocent until proven guilty which which is uh he should be out you know be honest so if he actually did that all right so uh you wanted to bring up something You forget.

Are we still on football? Yeah, sure. You catch what Sanders did today? Yeah, he played good. I think he went like, let's bring up his stats so we ain't making up. I think he had a touchdown.

He had an interception, but the interception was a bounce off the hands. I feel like he get that a lot, though, bro. He get a lot of those drop, bounce off the hand interceptions. Yeah, they don't let him be out there with the ones. And then when he'd be out there with the ones, Jared Judy'd be dropping everything. I mean, that kind of falls on the quarterback, right?

So he went 9-4-11, 74 yards, one TD, one interception, 87 quarterback rating. But that interception was not on him. So he played. I give him a B-. Yeah bro, Shador's good. Yeah, so...

Shador's good. I ain't in the cap trying to like, trying to disparage him. I think he's a good quarterback. He's not... He's not... He's a pocket passer.

Yeah. You know, he's really a pocket passer. You gotta respect his legs, but he's a pocket passer. No, he's nothing like his father. As far as? Athletically.

Yeah, I mean. Totally different. His father ran a 4-2. Nobody's going to be like that. Exactly. Nobody.

That's why Deion's Deion. So, I mean, the question is the quarterback competition. I mean, do you think it is a competition? I mean, I think that they're just going to let Deshaun Watson start because he's getting paid so much. And they're going to let, like, three weeks go by. Deshaun Watson holds his own and looks like he's doing something.

They'll keep him in. If he looks like he's not handling it well, throwing mad picks, they owe for not looking like nothing. they're going to just sit them down see if they can get a spark with Shador or Dylan Gabriel probably Shador first and then they'll be good but that's what I think they're going to do I just feel like they have to give $55 million fully guaranteed a chance to catch to catch fire they got Casey Concepcion they got Denzel Boston they got Fanon they got a whole you know they got Keyshawn Junkins Junkins they got a lot of pieces so it's like Deshaun Watson can't get it going with that and I think it been over for his freaky self but they done let him play football again so hopefully this is the last um you think geno smith is better than him right now sean yeah me too i mean yeah i'd rather have gino so that's what i'm saying bro it's like if you got like i don't think they should i think that they should start shador but because he's making so much money and they can't get off of it like he making so much money and everybody knows he sucks. I mean, at one time, yeah, as far as now, for Deshaun, he's been out the leagues for so many years. I still, I would like to think that he's not in and still getting the speed of the game back. Right. But that's not how NFL works.

Who's the best quarterback today type thing. So if I'm giving somebody $55 million guarantee, I will at least want them to see what they got. If he wasn't getting paid that much, he probably trade it. Right. But with all that guaranteed money, you're going to have to eat the cash and trade. Right.

For a fifth round, fourth round. So, yeah. And then. It's just in a tough spot. And it's like, well, then trade Shador then. You know, but they're not going to do that.

So. Nope. Because they know Deshaun Watson, he's Shador's their security blanket. and he sells tickets no matter what he sell jerseys no matter what what you think about Joe saying I'm tired of people saying wait till next year I'm tired of hearing that nobody care what Joe is tired of nobody care what Joe is tired of I'm telling you bro Joe He's just in a tough situation, man. He's brittle. He's playing a cold division. And his team cheat.

So he wanted to spend all his money on wide receivers. All right. You're favorable. He's going to get his face ran through against every other team. Even the Browns. The Browns are going to run through him, too. yeah but as far as joe burrow and jamara chase i i i believe that their goal is to win super every year yeah yeah but but but what i'm saying is they found success during a time that did it was like kind of like a time that wasn't real like they found success during a time where everybody else in their division was injured so they but they was able to like catch fire and do what they did in order to do what they did they got to handle their division right but they can't the the steelers the steelers play too much defense for that yeah the browns even though they don't got what's the name no more they still got jared verse yeah that defense still got denzel denzel ward they still gonna be tough bro right and they're gonna be down they're gonna be on joe Burrow and then Baltimore.

Come on, dog. He don't even beat Lamar Jackson. That's what I'm saying. It's like, I don't think about quarterbacks that don't even beat my quarterback. Everybody always say Joe Burrow, but I don't see it because it's like, he doesn't never win. Yeah, but it's a shootout.

Sometimes our scores be like 43-41. And he never does it, though. Why he don't never do it? His defense is not... But our defense be trash, too. He met us with trash defenses.

It wasn't like we had good defenses and he had a bad defense. We both had trash defenses, and it's like, look, we had to equal. So it's like your offense is cool, but it's not even as good as ours. Yeah, I would say it is. And also we had Justin Tucker. And everything can't be predicated on the passing game.

Right. Who running the ball? Right. Do I fear it? Do I fear Chase Brown? You know what I'm saying?

Marlon Humphrey has good battles with him, but sometimes Jamar has got us for 500 yards throughout the season. We was, everybody was hurt. 250 250 We didn have nobody out there that one game When Joe threw 500 And we was playing man Yeah it was crazy It was a crazy situation But you know you know what There's a there's a fact. So in every and every single. Type of offense, whether it be the shotgun under center, eye formation, pistol, all the different ways in which you can be formulated at the quarterback position. Lamar Jackson is in the 99th percentile in all of them. He has stats in all those situations, and he's the most efficient at it in all of them.

Joe Burrow isn't good not in shotgun. Him having to put that little time you take when you hand it off and you got your back to the defense, his numbers when he does that, it's like a D. That's why they're being shotgun all the time, because he's a 99 percentile in that other stuff. But the numbers prove out that when he had to go like this and took his back, he can't keep processing the defense. The defense is going to do something else, and he's not going to be paying attention, and now he's going to turn back around, and they're going to not be where he thought they was, if they move. You know, I would say it's that offensive line, too.

Joe Flacco had that same problem in that offense, and you know Joe Flacco can do that. But what I'm trying to say is offensive lines prefer if you do that. Right. They're not as good at shocking because the guys, their face gets run through because they know they're trying to get to the quarterback way back there. When the quarterback is going to be starting right down the center, it's more of a thinking process where the guys can't just run straight at them. They got to kind of seal a little bit, and you can do other stuff.

So the offensive line would be better if he would get under center more. He's just not good under center. He's just not good under center. And he has seven years, six years of evidence, of film, of footage, showing you that he's not good in that particular situation. I'm going to pay attention to it, man. I'm going to pay attention to it.

Let me see. Let me look at it real quick. I'm going to pay attention to it. He is going against, you know, top pass rushers half the season. But Lamar goes against the same people, yo. I don't know why I'm making excuses.

Look, look. Look, Joe Burrow has historically struggled in under-centered formations compared to his elite numbers in the shotgun. Over a recent two-year tracking period, he ranked 49th out of 56 qualifying NFL quarterbacks and expected points added per drop back. But I didn't know it was that bad. That's terrible. Isn't that what they say Lamar couldn't do, though? they only say Lamar can't do stuff when Lamar never showed you he could do it.

It's not that they have evidence that Lamar can't do stuff and then they say, oh, look at him bad at it. He don't never do it. So they say he can't do it. He's like, I can do whatever I want to do. I just don't do it. Even the way I was listening to Mark Sherriff talk about Lamar He said Lamar Jackson is the greatest he the greatest evidence of somebody coming into the league and not having certain things and being coached being coached up into b I'm like, they be acting like Lamar Jackson couldn't play pro-style offense and couldn't do stuff like how he was at Louisville. they just act like he didn't do it like he got to the league just because the Ravens let him they let him run an offense that was better catered to his strengths and for whatever reason he gets criticized like Tukic is criticized terribly for having strengths and weaknesses as a rookie I don't get it I also think that players criticism and media criticism on Lamar is always two separate things.

Yeah. The players are saying that Lamar mastered the offense already before anyone mastered. This is coming from an NFL player on the team saying that Lamar, they can't believe that. What is this Lamar's third offense? Yeah. He picked the monkey.

He picked the monkey. I'm saying, I think that he's going to take to this one better than he even took to the monkey offense. You know, this offense puts the pressure kind of off of Lamar and puts it more on the players to beat your man. Yeah. It's not – for what I'm seeing, we have players that can beat one-on-one coverage. And it's, A, get open, beat your guy, the ball's coming.

And it's relying on talent of the wide receivers more than the talent of Lamar just being Lamar. Every play. Exactly. Precisely. I mean, I don't know, man. It seems like that you're going to be taking those three yards with Andrews, which was there all last season.

I'm expecting Andrews to have a really good year. I know that you feel different, but as you can see, the tight end is a big part of this offense. not well i saw i saw quavis i saw i saw other guys that can do with what i think mark andrews can do so i don't i ain't really worried about it but so um but i'm i want to go back to the so you just said we can bet on that bro i i bet you i bet you andrews well you want to bet touchdowns or yards. I bet you Andrews is going to be top. I'm going top five in touchdowns and touchdowns. That man not going to have 500 yards. Oh, no.

I'll definitely bet you a case of Celsius, whatever you want on that. Yeah, better case of Celsius. I'll give you 600 for Andrews this year. I'm expecting a big year out of Andrews, bro. And that offense... Alright, he ain't getting 600 then.

He might not get 450, but alright, 600. Watch this. Watch how it go. I haven't heard anything about him in preseason. But I don't care. No, I have. bad stuff Bad Bad day for Andrew I sent the video you be trying to turn away from stuff when you don like the news you be like i just gotta ignore this yeah debate myself just like just like just now you like you like you like i'm telling you bro you be like i love joe burro i'm like bro he's cool but if you're telling me that look if you're this great if You're going to be considered this guy, and they can just keep you in the top four all time.

I mean, keep you in the top four in the league, no matter if you make the playoffs or not. I'm going to need for you to not be in the – what is it? Yeah, it's beyond the star as a quarterback. He's competing with the backups. 49th out of 56 qualifying guys. You shouldn't be in that position in no statistical category. for sure. And nothing you do be in that part of the league.

And you was, you was wrong about no haircut Marlo though. We were just getting back in shape. Yeah, no, I never, I never really was done with Marlo. Right. I just felt like, I just felt like the situation he was in, I heard, I heard a guy, um, last year on like a podcast talking about the Ravens. And he was saying how, I think it was the dude Femi, shout out to Femi, he used to play for us, linebacker for us, but he's like a radio personality now.

Okay. But he had mentioned that they were doing some stuff with some of the DBs as far as like how they were dropping back, some of their technique, they had switched up some stuff and so guys were like kind of like not um not like in comfortable situations a lot right so that was adding to the poor play so like now i think they probably got him back doing something he used to it just shows you see marlo coming up make tackles you see him pressing up knocking balls loose you know you just you just see a different guy i'm telling you i i i think I said I expected to see a peanut Tillman type year for him. I want to see the Marlowe punch back. Yeah, man. If he can focus. He's locked in, bro.

No haircut. Marlowe's locked in, yo. We're going to be having those videos on the plane irritating everybody. I don't know. He might not do that no more. Yo, remember that time where he didn't even play the game?

He was hurt. And my heart was like, you ain't even play. focus on getting healthier. Lamar hates that shit. Yeah, bro. Lamar's a private person. Lamar's like, we gotta win first.

If we win, I'll be more friendly. Ain't nothing. Lamar's talking about winning. He's talking about the Super Bowl. That's the difference between... He's not talking about a regular season game.

Right. Yeah. No. He wants to win MVP, Super Bowl MVP. Yeah, but yeah, man, I gotta head out Okay, gotta shut it down Yeah, yeah, I gotta take care of something Alright, bro I'll send you this one Yeah, send this to me Alright, bro Peace
