 Boy boy Wow Anyway, YouTube team keep it clean. Let me start off by saying this I've said this plenty of times before but I have to reiterate it again because some people still don't get it It is okay It does not make you any more or any less of a fan To be able and willing to call the team out for when they make mistakes Because they make mistakes They do not do everything perfectly. Yes, they are a well-run organization They do a lot of stuff great, but sometimes they have hiccups sometimes They mess up straight up Sometimes they make some bad decisions and it does everything doesn't work out for them and that's okay Like I said before and I just said this yesterday. We can acknowledge when they do things great We can also acknowledge when they don't do things so well either and In this case shout out to Daylan Hayes. Daylan Hayes is the sole survivor of the fifth round for the Ravens this year because as We know Sean Wade a pick and a trade that I didn't like a pick that I liked a trade that I didn't like but I understood He is now on the New England Patriots and then Ben Mason a pick who I was whatever about but Understood after realizing that Pat Ricard was on the last year of his deal. Okay, Ben Mason He gonna be the he gonna be the runner-up to Pat Ricard once his deal expires Cuz I don't expect the Ravens to re-sign Pat Ricard next year And guess what and then okay, they they draft him then they cut him cuz it's like, okay Yeah, he's gone clear waivers I expected him to clear waivers of Ravens expecting him to clear waivers. Y'all expected him to clear waivers We all expected him to clear waivers and what did he do? He clear waivers, so we were all right. Everybody was right on this one But not the Ravens because Ravens expected him to clear waivers and be like, hey come through come through come on back But how ball when asked about Ben Mason because we saw all these people popping up on the practice squad today We saw all these people coming back to practice today and everybody looking around wait a minute Where's been Mason? We've been Mason go Why been Mason ain't show up and when they asked hardball about it. He said he can announce his own plans So hashtag petty hardball came out today and You know when when hashtag petty hardball comes out. Oh, yeah, something ain't sitting right with him Something is not sitting right with him And we were all wondering and everybody I see all Ravens community You know Ravens Twitter and all Ravens all that just talking about Ben Mason. What happened with Ben Mason? What's going on with Ben Mason? And we knew and figured he wasn't going to be part of the plans this year but now he's not even part of the team because He went and signed with the New England Patriots practice squad so he clear waivers, but He declined He most likely declined. I can't say that he declined Ravens their offer yet Because it hasn't been said officially that they offered him something, but you got to figure with hardballs wording and With them releasing him that they expected him to clear and make it back to the practice squad Like what happened with Tracy McSawley, Benjamin Vick, everybody. I don't feel like going through the list right now But you got to figure like that that they because they have three spots left They got three practice squad spots left one of those going to be from Josh Bynes And another one was going to be Ben Mason another one probably going to be a running bag But now you got extra spot. You got to put that little positive spin on it, right? Hey, now we got extra spot. It's been Mason. He's taking up a spot with the New England Patriots And you know what? I'm I'm not mad at it at all Then Mason felt like he was probably like, man Why y'all drafted me and y'all y'all really got me going through all this Like, you know what? No New England, but I'm sure with Ben Mason What he figured and is true. Maybe with the Patriots he felt like I can actually have an opportunity to play Right here right now with the Ravens. I'm not going to get that I'm not going to get that because they have Patrick Ricard. I know Patrick Ricard. I've seen Patrick Ricard I understand the business of the NFL even for the short amount of time that I've been in the NFL And I know that there's hardly any teams right now keeping one full back on the roster Why would a team keep two? Even a team that is the the most run Dominant team in the league by far. Why would they keep two? Oh answer. They not they wouldn't they won't So we we knew that this whole him getting cut I again, y'all know, I thought he was going to be eye our stashed That's what I thought was going to happen I thought he was going to walk past Harbaugh's office one day And he was going to sneeze the wrong way and Harbaugh say, oh, nope. Nope. That's it Hey, he broke his elbow in reserve From sneezing how about what put that that he broke his elbow And then put them on eye y'all out for the season. All right. See you next year That's what I thought was going to happen. But this when they cut him. It was like, okay. Well, that's not a shock either But I think Ravens are certainly shocked That he ended up choosing new england over them But and sound like from the quote, I didn't get to see the video. I didn't get to hear the audio But just from the quote alone It seems as if Harbaugh may be a bit upset Because this was not in the Ravens plans And like I said at the beginning of this video It does not make you any less of a fan It does not make you any less of a person If you are are not afraid to call out the Ravens mistakes. It's okay It is okay Ravens are not the perfect organization. There's no perfect organization It's not Now make sure one thing to always remember too If you're going to call them out for the bad You better acknowledge the good too. And there's a there's a lot of good. So it's a whole lot of good It's a way way more good than bad But y'all already know on here we talk about both We we talk about both Extensively because both need to be acknowledged both need to be acknowledged for sure So the whole thing with Sean way, you know, I hope he balls out I know some there was some Ravens fans that brought up to Sean Wade in the preseason game The last play of that game where they were oh man see Eric the cost of winning again. Look at that We traded this guy away. We got draft picks for this guy. He wasn't even gonna make our team Look and look at that. He almost cost the team the game He gives up a touchdown on the last play of the game Eric the cost of winning baby But it was clearly an offensive passing offense Clear as day a lot of people didn't want to acknowledge that Clear as day Sean Wade did his thing throughout that game. But that one play they wanted to cherry pick that one play and be like, okay Eric the cost of he's the winner But then even the fault nobody showed the following play though Because the following play which wasn't an offensive passing offense He stopped the wide receiver on the two-point conversion. He stopped it and that ended up winning the team the game But nobody talked about that Because they didn't want to acknowledge the ravens mistakes again It does not make you any less of a fan. You should not feel bad You should not you you don't need to don't feel bad for calling them out on their mistakes because the ravens make mistakes They do it. It happens It's okay. We all make mistakes. We do it. They happen. It's okay And it's all right to acknowledge Just like we've been and then with um Ben Bredesen Ben Bredesen, they literally picked this guy last last year in the fourth the fourth round but That's that they moved on And now the and depending on who you talk to They'll have their own spin on it Depending on who you talk to now me and a lot of conversations that I have a lot of people over the past 24 hours Since all of this different stuff has been going down One thing that I said, which is true and and you could tell us the ravens way of thinking and there's nothing wrong with it The more shots that you take me the more shots that you take the more chances you have to hit The more draft picks you have the more chances you have to hit on those picks and it's true But that's why ravens keep stockpiling picks. They keep racking them up They're like, hey, we too some of these guys got to work out because they do is something's got to give But then at the same time You could still make mistakes You can still make mistakes. There've been some people that've been like, um Um What did they say? Oh, it it just slipped my memory Um Now I can't even remember it my apologies. It was just it was just right here and then it it just vanished But people have been putting a spin on this thing, uh with Eric the castle had been Bredesen With Sean Wade and of course there's the part where yeah, at least you're getting something rather than nothing And that's that's a beautiful thing That's that's really a beautiful thing. Oh, that's what it is. It just came back to me. They've been like, all right Well, well shout out to the ravens and whatnot because they They're not wasting any time with these draft picks if this draft picks ain't working out right away Then they're not afraid to move on So and yeah, that is true But does every draft pick the they all develop at the same rate Does every draft pick automatically make that impact in the nfl Is every single draft pick even nfl ready Is every single draft pick ready to contribute right away like that? No, they don't develop at the same rate either. No So again Ravens make mistakes Doesn't make them a bad team doesn't make you a bad person for saying it mistakes happen things happen. It's life It is what it is I still love the ravens I'll call them out on their mistakes I still love y'all y'all call me out on my mistakes. It happens If you didn't call somebody out for when they do wrong Do you really love them? Think about it Like you don't want to just be walking around with a bunch of yes men and yes women and yes. Yes. Yes Oh, I did something wrong. Is it a is What did I mess up at? Oh, no, you didn't do anything wrong. It's okay. It's fine You don't want that you don't need that that's unhealthy for you So Shout out to been mason been mason go go go get your playing time, man Uh, I hope he does well in new england Uh, I hope he goes over there and does his thing and he really does get his opportunity Um, I don't anticipate the ravens playing the patriots this year. You never know how playoffs could work out. You just never know um But we'll see we'll we'll definitely uh when we see that what is shanways number 29 with new england Oh, no, no 26 26. I think so when we see that 26 and when we see whatever been mason's number is going to be We'll be uh keeping a special eye on the both of them team keeper clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all Just like two of ravens three fifth round picks from this year this year 2021 they just picked these they were rookies three rookies Well two out of three rookies Two out of the three picks fifth round picks from this year Just like two out of the three y'all with shanwayton been mason um out
