 had somebody that you know and you watch the way that they move you watch how they act you watch the way that they do things and you get really confused by it like why would they do it like that doesn't that doesn't make any sense to me i don't understand their reasoning behind their method so then you talk to them and you ask them hey hey what's the reason that you do this uh what's your method of your thinking behind when you do it that way and they explain it to you and it's like okay ah i i didn't see it that way at first but now that you've explained it to me i got it that is absolutely not the case with the ravens and this offense and greg roman uh and and the play clock because this again keep talking about it's been an issue for years years and years and years and years and years it's nothing new and what's crazy and i know a lot of y'all has seen that same article that's been floating around since what 2012 or 2013 something like that that talked about greg roman and and the clock management and the poor clock management um and it's when you read that article most of the same things still apply to this day they literally do and that's a shame but the ravens they it's like they just keep embarrassing themselves and anyway let's just get to the quote um and this was about the play clock management greg roman said uh what we're talking about is a race to be in control if we snap an average of four seconds later than other teams over the course of a 70 play game then you're talking about four to five minutes where their offense can't touch the ball those are treasures that is probably a verbal treasure that he should have kept buried seriously because it's just like the ravens just they embarrassing themselves that is such a scary mentality to have in a football game we're playing keep away we're not playing oh we're trying to get no we're playing keep away so their team will have less time of possession that's just that's embarrassing in my opinion um and again i know people gonna get on greg roman and i i i get it but greg roman didn't employ himself this is not like this is a philosophy thing man same conversation man same conversation man it's the philosophy the ravens have philosophical issues man they really do they have wasted wasted the last four years with lemar jackson wasted this is why some of us get so frustrated with the things that they do because you got something so special at the quarterback position and this is how you choose to operate play keep away come on man it's just it's embarrassing he also mentioned how uh when you have an operational issues and now you're not in control and you're rushing in things are hectic that's not what you're looking for specifically last week we had headset issues communication issues and technical difficulties all right yet i i get that so when things aren't working correctly yeah that's an issue but to be strategically getting these play getting the plays in late calling the plays late just doing everything late to do that strategically it's embarrassing it just it makes everything harder for everybody on offense and like i know some people will be like oh well hey it could be a schematic thing to where if you're getting the play if you're getting the plays in later if they're getting to the line later and all that stuff and snapping the ball later hey that gives the the defense less time that gives them less time if they're getting to the line later but they get into the line late and it gives you a quarterback less time it gives your offensive line less time it gives your tight ends receivers running backs it gives everybody less time because everything is already he talked about how he doesn't when it's hectic and you're not in control that's when things can go bad but it's like the Ravens put themselves in these positions for things to be hectic and for things to go bad even without a broken headset even without uh the the the earpiece or whatever the mic not working from Greg Roman to Lamar whatnot it it's like they they set themselves up for failure before the plays even get started a mindset like that a mentality like that you're already setting yourself up for failure like really really playing keep away in the NF you're playing keep away you're playing it safe you're playing it safe this is why i keep i keep saying they the last four they wasted it and you know what i won't even say the last four years but i say the last three for sure because i'll take out 2019 i'll take it out because 2018 they didn't know Lamar took over yeah they they went what seven and one whatever it was as a matter of fact i was just like i was just watching the off-log from the playoff game uh that charges game um um so 2018 i won't count that 2019 i won't even count that because Lamar came out of nowhere came out of nowhere and took over but after that just waste wasted wasted opportunities wasted potential wasted absolutely wasted 2020 wasted 2021 wasted 2022 wasted so much of the same stuff you and it's like what what's gonna what what what what reason does what what reason would Lamar Jackson have to want to stay with the Baltimore Ravens because something that he's talked about um obviously he wants to get paid obviously like who wouldn't want to get paid at their job uh but he also talks about how he he wants to win hearing stuff like from your offensive coordinator this is your this is the guy calling the shots on offense to hear stuff like that you just gotta look at it and laugh and be like man oh boy have this season goes i can't wait till it's done they've been reports like the one that skip talked about where you talked about Lamar being sort of checked out mar showing up late to meetings missing practices and stuff like that and some people they were like oh no that skip barely so we don't he don't know nothing even though like they realized skip is one of the more he'd be trolling like it when it come to LeBron James skip Baylor's boy he'd be trolling and when it come to Tom Brady to those those are two people man like he and when it come to Dak Prescott no other actually look at the cowboys he'll get on them he'll get on them but when it oh actually three people when it comes to LeBron he'll always get on LeBron no matter what good LeBron does he will always get on LeBron he'll be waiting for him to mess up maybe trolling and stuff with Tom Brady no matter how bad Tom Brady does skip Baylor's he will always take up for Tom Brady no no matter what and also another one who he'll take up for no matter what is Baker Mayfield he was and it's like it's funny hearing him when he talks about those skip having fun man but skip is also somebody that's highly respected throughout sports journalism period whether you like what he has to say or not he is somebody that's highly respected throughout sports journalism so when that report came out I was like oof and I know the timing of it it made it look weird it was like oh yeah this is right before LeBron I mean not LeBron LeMar getting ready to go up against skip Baylor's his uh his guy Tom Brady because it came out the day of the Bucks game the Ravens Bucks game but it just makes so much sense you hear stuff like this it's like it's laughable it's really laughable for somebody to to get up there and and say that seriously and be serious about it and I don't think I don't even think this is the first time that we heard this before because I'm pretty sure that they've said that them getting to the getting the plays off late and whatnot I'm just pretty sure that we've heard that that was strategic before I forgot was it from Hubbaugh or was it from Roman I think it was from Hubbaugh but I don't even remember but I'm I'm pretty sure we heard this before but regardless if we did or not we heard it today and that's embarrassing if I'm LeMar you know how like you work at a job and you work at a job that and I'm not saying LeMar doesn't like his job um but you know how you work at a job and you just like man I just I just ain't feeling it like that and you just you you're working there to make ends meet to to pay your bills but every day you you're just checking you're just checking till it hits five o'clock you're just waiting every day as soon as you punch and you get there at nine and you're always looking at the clock because you're just ready to go you're ready to go I don't know man I I could not blame LeMar if he felt like that just ready to go stuff like this man the way the team has built the way that they build the team the way that they construct this roster again you you got you got somebody that's again that they recently over the past couple years they've been throwing that little generational word word around a lot more than I think they should but you actually do have somebody who is a generational talent not a generational talent an offensive line running back of course not a receiver tight end deline corner back and no offense to those other positions obviously but you have a generational talent at the quarterback position and this is a position that you like it's it's hard to find it's hard to find a good quarterback in this day and age is there and when you actually do find one in my opinion this is just my opinion I think you should actually cherish it and and do your best to hold on to and do your best to really maximize it Ravens haven't done that they haven't done that and again that's that's why I think they're not going to a Lamar Jackson so anyway man um go Ravens uh hope they win against the Broncos on Sunday um it's crazy because that's why I always say don't discount fans don't discount what fans see don't discount what fans understand don't discount fans at all because fans just because they're fans does not mean they are stupid so many fans uh just begged begged this team hey they need to run no huddle more they need to do it and because when we've seen it in the past we've seen it have more success but it's like the Ravens just it's like they refuse us I don't know what it is and this is it's like it's crazy because with the Ravens the no huddle works and again you don't have to run it 24-7 nobody's asking that but run it a lot more often but with the no huddle it works but this strategy is the exact opposite of no huddle it's the exact opposite no huddle pick up the pace move faster this strategy slow it down get there late yeah take your time and nobody's saying you need to rush stuff but it's just like Ravens it seems like Ravens are afraid of balance they're afraid of balance like on offense it's like all right hey run run run run run run run run and the run game is cool but they're like pass I ain't worried about the pass game like that we got our run game remember build a bully right that's that phrase that so many people love you build a bully because I think Eric the constant said that in his first press cover build a bully this is this is this is sad man but there's what it is at this point again it's this offseason it's gonna be fun it's gonna be fun to see how everything goes down uh what these Baltimore Ravens do what these Baltimore Ravens don't do uh but just gonna it's gonna be very interesting to see how they operate very interesting to see how they operate uh what pieces they move a piece they let go a piece they retain what they prioritize what they value what they invest in but again even though I know uh Eric Weddle said it about the team back when he was playing for the team but by the way that they've been moving these actually are uh the same old Ravens
