 Before we get started y'all y'all got to tell me what you drinking. Is it gonna be tequila is it gonna be rum Is it gonna be whiskey or bourbon or you just went around the waters because I'm trying to figure out What we gonna put on our tab for us folks that sit at the end of the bar if you know what I'm talking about But anyway, YouTube team keep it clean What's going on, baby? This was the longer waited press conference that we had been waiting for this had been highly anticipated especially by me Especially when they announced yesterday that it was gonna be moved from 230 to 330 I was just thinking all right Well, there's got to be something of significance that is said at that presser. It can't just be the normal Post game Monday press. There's no way. What it was just the normal every day or every week Monday post game pressing John Harbaugh spoke He spoke about Lamar spoke about Greg Roman spoke about Claire's Campbell Marcus Peters But everything was very vague everything was very Y'all know how it goes. Anyway, let's just get into it and we'll talk about it I think it was Jeff from jump asked about Lamar Jackson his Lamar Jackson gonna be returning this week and Like if I were to ask y'all, what's hardball gonna say to that question? Y'all would already know the answer because y'all are smart y'all know John Harbaugh Y'all know how you respond to the injury questions So when he answered the way that he did it was no surprise I don't think anybody should have been surprised by it either He said that he knew somebody was gonna ask about Lamar He said that it isn't the time to put info out there about injuries just for competitive purposes Okay, cool So you got a game on Saturday Falcons. Yeah, you want Falcons to act like they preparing for both Lamar and Tyler Huntley? Lamar is expected to be back at practice this week. We'll see we won't know till tomorrow Or actually, you know, don't they have to walk through practice? I think they have a walk through today as a matter of no today's Monday I'm tripping. I forgot that we played on Saturday. Not Sunday. All right So tomorrow they have to walk through then on Wednesday to have the actual practice So we will start knowing tomorrow whether Lamar is gonna play We'll start knowing a little bit whether Lamar is gonna play or not Wednesday will be the real story Then of course Thursday and Friday. Anyway He was asked about them running the ball now Hobbs said that they weren't opposed to running the ball, but they ended up passing it more and he said that with around 10 minutes left They were looking at how many possessions they could get and he acknowledged that they were running it good And he did the you know, the hardball thing that he does man where he The hindsight is 20 20, but but he says it in like in a hobo way, man Hope I was just hobo man. That's what he is man We know who he is. We've been watching this guy for what would have been 14 years at 2008 14 years So um But he still keeps it interested. He really does man. He really does so shout out to him for that Now I think it was Cordell Woodland that asked about some potential tweaks with the coaching staff and um What gives you confidence that Greg Roman is the guy that can get the passing game where it needs to be? Hobbs said that he has all the confidence in the world and the guys that they have said all of their coaches including Greg Are capable of getting it done and scheme it up He said they they look at all the football exes and old stuff and their volume of what they do He said they look at all of that stuff all of them all of it Um, then somebody asked about the potential changing of roles with coaches You know and he said they're not getting into all of that and he said that you guys and the fans can talk about all of that Y'all y'all can handle y'all can had those conversations. So really that would be us all of us We can had those conversations But he said they're not getting into all of that We gonna still talk about it though Uh, he said but we're together we're a team with a bunch of people that are really good at what they do And he was like, what was it bill bellichick that said, uh, we're on to Atlanta and he said we want to be great He said his December football is crazy. It's not always going to be smooth sailing. It's tough You're not always going to have good days. We obviously hope to have more good days than bad days But it's not always going to be pretty Um, and that's what he mentioned That that that's all to talk at the end of the bar That's that's where we said that we are on the end of the bar is fans and stuff Media and all that we're at the end of the bar hardball and the people that's playing the players are coaching They're at the beginning but we we over at the end now, um He was also asked about tyus bowser's instagram story Um, and you know what real quick shout out to the media That was at this presser today because they asked the questions like because you can't like You're not going to go to a presser because I know nobody wants to get their credentials revoked Um, but you're not going to go to a presser and be like, hey, are you guys going to fight greg roman? What we said no, you're not going to ask that nobody's nobody's going to ask that Um, but the way that they worded everything and they asked things I always appreciate that because you you can ask like some people think that you cannot do it But you can ask tough questions Respectfully you can do that Like on here, we don't mind having those tough conversations about whatever it is But it's always done with respect because these are people at the end of the day These are human beings at the end of the day and we all know it's never anything personal ever This is just strictly business So you can do that stuff with respect and I appreciated the fact that they were doing it So shout out to the the media guys that were there and girls so He was asked about tyus bowser's instagram story and harb said that he talked to tyus about it And he talked to greg roman about it too and he kept telling them. Hey, you gotta you should ask tyus bowser about that He said tyus bowser talked to greg roman, too Um, he said that when stuff like that happens you find out that it's not much there And when he said that I was like hey hoff look got a lot of love for you, but right there. I do not believe you I don't believe you Now I get it as a head coach. You're the leader and hardball is obviously a leader of men, right? um You don't want to do anything Especially you say anything publicly that could make it look like you have dysfunction Because I mean that that does show dysfunction him showing those papers. It was not a small thing at all Especially coming from one tyus bowser who like I mentioned in the video about that That's somebody who the ravens absolutely Love they love love love love love tyus bowser. So for him to do that again, he's smart. He's smart He knows social media is he knows how these things get buzzing like great Especially something like that Given the situation of what just happened the in the game like Yeah, he knew what he was doing. We know what he we knew he knew what he was doing Hardball knows he knew what he was doing. But anyway um He said that he could go on a social media rant And he said that he doesn't live there as far as on social media Um, and he said he doesn't know why anyone lives on social media He said we have great guys that have good intentions And he also said he was oh somebody asked him about security They they were like They asked him about the like the security footage and he said that uh, he said i'm not security I'm not security so When hardball over something we don't want to talk about you're gonna see it He's gonna let you know not only with his words, but with his face too and just with his whole vibe um He talked about I mean, he didn't really talk about marcus pete and kalaeus camp But he did bring them up somebody asked about them and he was like that's the same thing with lamar jackson I'm not getting into that. Uh, he talked about being behind sort of a barricade sort of To to avoid acts of avoid answering questions about injuries So, I mean that's that's normal stuff. Y'all know how that goes Uh, he was asked about david ajabo. Um, it was their checkpoint that david ajabo Hit or had to hit to get on the field and hop said it was really just circumstances said they were down A db so ajabo had an opportunity to be active and he talked about that being a good problem to have Because he said you remember when we signed jpp earlier He had no outside linebackers. He had to play like 50 some snaps and then yeah, we all remember But then now like Yeah, they got their guys back. They got bowser back by then just and houston back david ajabo So, yeah, they're in a much better situation than they were in earlier um He was also asked about tyler huntley like what strides tyler huntley made And he said you go play by play to sit here and give you an overall analysis of any player right now He said it's something that he just Wouldn't do And I don't think he actually said he couldn't do that right now, but it's like really like how could you not We can I know if we can then you definitely can because we only see the players on sundays and saturdays too You see them every day. So you could definitely give an analysis, but I don't mind it. I don't I don't I Hope i'm making me. He's making my mind go crazy right now. I understand why you wouldn't do that So you don't put him on the spot You don't throw him under the bus just in case he does have to be your starter again You want him having all the confidence in the world? And i'm sure even if he gave an analysis of tyler huntley up up to this point of the season Even though it's just been a couple of games with huntley It's been bronco stealers and then uh the browns I'm sure he would uh say some positive stuff about him to to really build him up Talk about how he's leading the team and whatnot said that he he expects him to be even better Um, but I can understand just staying away from it just to be safe. So that was cool, but Yeah, man, I just went into this press conference. I wasn't sure exactly what I expected, but it just Well, I expected something again, would it be in a little bit later and whatnot? Especially with how the game went but just really didn't get anything just a lot of the same old stuff So again, we talked about this before this season even started Oh, we did a video. Um, you can go look for the video too. It's uh, it's called ravens accountability and Something ravens a accountability and something. I forgot what else it was called But in that video where you went into detail With everybody how they they all need to be held accountable This season because I know last season even though I didn't think they should have but last season everybody gotta pass Everybody gotta pass Well, except wink, but everybody got a pass, but I was saying that this year no matter what People need to be held accountable. So I'll set the top steve ishadi goes down Eric Dacosta then goes down john harbaugh then goes down gregg roman Mike mcdonald Any whoever the coordinators are gonna be because I I think I think we still had wink when I made that video But either way, uh, then we talked about the players too and talked about the bar jackson Talked about the offensive line or see whether all that stuff Everybody need to be held accountable You're gonna continue to roll with the staff that you got and while it is it's kind it's like Surprising and not surprising all at the same time that nothing happened today Um, but if you're gonna roll with the guys that you got It's on you It's on you We've continued to have the conversation on here um And it's funny because it's funny hearing people Finally realize What's going on finally see what's going on for us and a lot of people It didn't take losing to the browns with a backup quarterback To see some underlying issues with these baltimore ravens. It didn't take that We've been talking about this for a long time for years as a matter of fact, um But yeah, if Greg roman, yeah, Greg roman has his issues and whatnot But it's much deeper than Greg roman It's been funny seeing people who Would always say Pretty much that the ravens can do no wrong Every single move that they make is right every single transaction that they make is right every higher fire sign Cut trade draft everything everything that the baltimore ravens do is right They are always spot on They don't need this. They don't need that. They made a good job getting this. They made a great job getting that It's funny. We see a lot of those same people Now they've done a complete 180 turn around complete 180 And I have seen and I've seen the biggest Biggest defenders of everything that the ravens do I've seen even them get fed up even them And it's been interesting to see because for for for some people I feel like it is they are genuinely actually fed up with some stuff Um, other people I feel like they just sort of going with the flow They're like, oh, okay. Well, everybody getting fed up. You know what? I'm gonna say I'm fed up too So it is what it is though, but um Yeah, man, we'll we'll see if you're gonna ride with the guys that you got now If you're gonna stick with your guys that you got now. All right, cool You're sticking with them. It's on you. You got to make sure you you get the best out of them You got to make sure that Like you you maximize Uh, the rest of this season Because this is big it's this season right now is just so huge and I felt like from jump like the ravens mishandled some stuff It's like, all right cool. That was in the past and they did mishandle some things But they at this point now They're nine and five. So you got a good record Um, it right now is really not going to take much for you to get into the playoffs You win two out of the next three games You're in you could win one out of the next three games and get in with a little bit of help here and there But you win two out of the next three. You're straight. You win these next three. You're definitely good. You're you're great actually So the ravens, they don't need much help to get in actually They don't need any They could get in after this if they beat the falcons this saturday They could get in with a little bit of help depending on how the thursday night game goes and I think one other game, but Bottom line as it has been Usually it happens like this every year with the ravens control They own destiny ravens are in control of what goes on moving forward ravens. They They can if they just take care of their own business Then they'll be good to go and you know what's crazy Is that if just I think maybe one but definitely just two of those Games if they would have just closed out two more of those games that they lost They'd be in a playoffs already They'd already have a spot They just closed out two more of those games. They'd already have a spot It's crazy, right This team this Baltimore Ravens team So the season is not over by any means I know a lot of people got like low expectations and low hopes for the season, which I can understand why um I'm obviously still hoping for the best hoping that these ravens surprised me I said it before the season started and it didn't change during the season Um, I said before the season started. I did not see a super bowl from these Baltimore Ravens I just really didn't um didn't see a super bowl from the Baltimore Ravens Uh, I would hope that they get there. I obviously hope to be wrong about that for sure But I just didn't see it. Um, and throughout this season I I still don't but I I would love I would love to be so wrong about that That would be my favorite thing to be wrong about And I could be wrong about a lot of stuff as y'all know But that'll be my favorite thing to be wrong about Will be them get into the super bowl So I know I've been seeing a lot of fans talk about which team they want to play in the playoffs Is Titans or scared of the Jaguars? Is it Beals? Chiefs? Dolphins? I've been seeing so much of that. Um, which is cool. It's fun me Anybody I just want ravens to get in there Because say for instance, because I know some people. Oh, well, I don't want to play this team in the first round I don't want to play that team in the first round me. I'm like, hey if ravens deserve to be in there Whoever they go up against They they're gonna show up if they deserve to be in there and whoever they go against if they don't deserve to be in there They're gonna get bounced That's it And you can only avoid Playing this top team for so long. You can only avoid playing them for a week really And I mean even if you avoid playing a top team for a week You still got a playoff team that you're going up against So they still gonna bring it regardless of who it is because they in the playoffs too It ain't just the ravens that will be in the play It'll be that other team too and they got a goal that they trying to accomplish as well so I mean, I know a lot of fans power. Yeah, I don't want to play the uh, no I want ravens to play whoever Whoever because eventually you're gonna have to play whoever anyway if you advance far enough. So anyway, um That's that man. That's that Uh, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all always appreciate y'all listener so much. Thank you very very very very very much for that um You know what I was thinking before this and we about to get out of here in a minute But I was thinking before this press conference started. I was like, all right, maybe we'll um We'll get one of those, uh Maybe we'll get one of those, uh raven statements Before this presser, you know, sort of like the uh, the group not the gray roman thing the um, oh What's it called the wing marndale? I could I could not think of his name the wing marndale They had uh issued a statement and it came out of nowhere I forgot what I was doing when that statement came across my phone But I thought we were going to end up getting one of those Before this press conference, you know, the ravens have decided to Do and then how about come speak and then he'll say it before he start taking but yeah, it just Obviously didn't go that way, but shout out to kevin zeile making a pro bow
