 Really don't think anybody expected anything different YouTube team keep it clean. Welcome to December What's going on is engraving here with another video and in this video the Ravens had a presser today Which featured John Harbaugh? I didn't catch his part cuz I just woke up Alejandro Villanueva didn't catch that Paul what caused some of it And he showed his respect to the Steelers and one thing that I did love that he said Because they were asking about little bits and pieces about Steelers and Ravens rivalry and he said I ain't gonna say too much because I know stuff gets taken out of context Especially in that other city, so he already know what the time it is And then I think somebody else spoke to but I just I didn't catch anybody else, but I did catch our guy Lamar Oh, and then some bits and pieces from John Harbaugh that I did here when I was waking up He just was showing a lot of respect to Pittsburgh He was showing a lot of respect to Mike Tomlin I mean he got no choice, but to like they have gone back and forth with Steelers getting the best of the Ravens Ravens Getting the best of the Steelers and it's always just a classic. Well, usually it's a classic sometimes I'm gonna be a little nasty, but they got a lot of classics Even when they have guys missing they got players not playing. It's always something serious and One way that I really saw a Harbaugh's respect for the Steelers is when they asked him about Deontay Deontay Johnson or Deontay Thompson Deontay Johnson Was the one who used to play for the Ravens back then who I think he went to if he was a Florida gator the fast wide receiver. Anyway They asked Harbaugh about him and he was like, oh, yeah, you always got to watch for 18 And the way that he spoke about the receivers and their skills tests and Frye moved to he added him in there and Chase Claypool You could tell he's been doing his homework Well, I mean, he doesn't really got to do his homework you played him twice a year But you could tell that he just really appreciates Pittsburgh's players The way that they do things over there Because this is very similar to the Ravens do things to very successful franchises And they usually do right by their players. They take care of business Things may be ugly, but they they get it done anyway to Lamar Jackson He says straight up ain't no excuses for that poor performance They're absolutely none and like I said, I don't think anybody would ever expect him to make any excuses Anyway, like you're never gonna hear Lamar be like, oh man, it's cuz Cuz I wasn't feeling good. That's why I had a bad game Oh, well cuz I was injured just cuz I that's how I had a bad game. Oh, man Cuz this dude dropped the pass. That's why I had a bad game. Oh, man, cuz you're never gonna hear that You hear from fans But not from him And I know one of my guys was like in the comment section. He said that he said, oh well those with those Interceptions, he said nobody talking about how it's windy and I saw that I was thinking Ain't no wind throwing no four picks even three picks That wasn't the wind so Can't buy that one. I can't and then again people have tried to Blame again one of those interceptions of the Rashad Bateman wonder that's one that that's more Rashad Bateman But some people have tried to blame it like the one the tip that Mark Andrews when he tried to tip it up to himself and try To make the catch they try to blame that one on him. No, that's that's Lamar. That's Lamar And then of course the other two again had Mark Andrews Right in between two defenders. He had space. Just you got to hit him right there But Lamar decided to hit him right there And he ended up throwing it right to the other corner back and then of course the other one Where oh, yeah, the safety was just sitting on it Just sitting on it and he still made it through. So he talked about he said he played like a rookie and Yeah, I mean you ain't even though for interceptions of your rookie here So I can't even say that but we got what he meant. He said they were bad reads bad throws all that and what I Appreciated about what he said today is he said that he lets those bad games faster So he lets those bad games sit and he thinks about him for a couple of days and he's just like make some sick And he doesn't want to have a repeat performance of that He talked about how he went over film right away to see how he can improve Yeah, we would expect that from franchise quarterback. Yeah, that's all that's just nothing but the expectations man They talked about Steelers and their record What he expects from them based off of their record. He said you don't pay attention to records Because it's any given Sunday and I mean You look at the Dolphins game a couple weeks ago. Yeah, we believe that it's definitely any given Sunday for sure with Somebody asked him about a auto blowback That Miles Garrett got from just showing respect to Lamar after that touchdown I know a lot of people just they really didn't like that me personally. I loved it Always talk about how game recognized game and I always love like even when you play sports Whether you play them competitively. I know that's a little different or recreationally When somebody like I know for me personally Playing recreationally if you like playing basketball or something or even playing football So I catch you slipping and they get you and in the in the moment Oh man, they got me but right after I'm like, oh that that was nice man. Good stuff Good stuff and for miles Garrett to be able to do that on the professional level That speaks volume to his character and that speaks volume to just his humility as well So shout out to Miles Garrett for just again appreciating Lamar Lamar appreciating him Now they also talked about Jadaven Clowney on that same play because it was on the Mark Andrews touchdown play They talked about you David Clowney how he took his head when it slammed it to the ground because he was upset You could understand that too, but and you David Clowney got that that that late hit On Lamar now there was some the late hits in this game in the Browns Ravens game They were kind of garbage on both sides. No tires Bowser. He got called for one of the David Clowney He got called for that one and it's just Just so ticky-tacky man But one thing I did appreciate about it actually being called for Lamar is that we're starting to see this a little bit more and The league is actually Seem it took them took them forever, but it seems like as if they're actually treating him like a quarterback That's probably cuz they know Lamar's money. But anyway He talked about how Jadaven Clowney told him that he loved He told him that he loved them so ain't no ill will ain't no beef ain't no problem And he's already given respect publicly to Lamar before when he was with the Seahawks He said he ain't he said ain't nobody like him nobody like him He said he can make all the throws make the runs he could do it all So David Clowney already gave Lamar his flowers before so this ain't nothing new He was asked about what's they're gonna take to play more consistently as an offense Lamar said he doesn't have an answer for it He said they just had to play better football with whatever calls are called Shout out to G-roll He was also asked about his unique skill set like where did it come from and he said that he thinks that it probably came from tag And he said it one on one was nobody touching him and he That's the game cuz and that that kind of took me back a little bit, too I'm like wild tag. Why that that that take me back a long time ago. I had like completely forgot about that game tag But yeah, that's where you just you try not to get touched. I'm right now. We play tag No, I'm gonna be out there looking like Levy on bail Cuz I can move now not a speed I can get it back. But anyway, we ain't worried about me right now He said that he feels like he is 100% this week or somebody asked him Oh, did you feel sick last week or you said he feels 100% this week and last week still he repeated it They are no excuses zero He said he really put his defense in bad spots with all those interceptions And yes, trust us. We know we know but the defense get them credit they've been dealing with this all year really and As much as we get on we got on wink about adjustments and then it was still an issue But this is something that the defense has been dealing with literally all season long being put in bad positions from the offense And even on the times where they do good offense would start off slow start off slow start off slow start off slow Now it's funny. Somebody in the comment section made a really good point About Ravens and his team because again, we we despite them being eight and three. We always acknowledge We continue to acknowledge what the issues are what they do good at what they do bad at everything and everything in between But somebody made a really good point in the comment section from a video yesterday They said that man this Ravens team They're eight and three and they haven't even peaked yet I was like, oh, that's true They who I know I hope that this is not a peak This can't be a peak the way that they play and there's no way But that was just a really good point really good observation He said that there were opportunities where the offensive line they did protect him and he just he missed the opportunities and That's actually true because I have seen a couple of different film guys Via YouTube via Twitter point out some things where sometimes when Lamar had good protection But he just made a bad though and then the sack for Miles Garrett Maybe that was Lamar showing love to him because Lamar he ran right into that sack Think he was trying to step up in the pocket, but he ran right into a mouse game I was like, oh, y'all giving out free sacks like this. Oh, yeah, I take it all day I'm trying to break that sack record because he might end up doing it Hopefully he don't have any more on on the Ravens when we played him again in two weeks But we'll see how that goes He said that him and Baker they super close they they always asking about each other after the games You always hit a little soundbites and stuff Baker asking about his mom Lamar asking about his brother and stuff I said that goes back to their husband days. Now. He also talked about that one hand catch by Mark Andrews He said that was all money mark. He said that ball wasn't on the money But money mark made it look like it was and he made it happen So shout out to Lamar He got no choice like you got no choice But to have a bounce back game after this like you go out for interceptions And yeah, whatever might not have been on you, but hey, it is what it is It goes on your stat sheet for interceptions While context is everything still for interceptions Even if even if we took it everything in the context, which we have to you say three interceptions Three interceptions That's terrible. That's L to reblaid. That's basura. That's just bad mile Shout out to Spanish So yeah with Lamar he you can't well you technically can but you can't get no worse than that And again, like we always say one bad game Does not define a career Again people. I know people have been like, oh man, Lamar. He's regressing He's regressing He has had a bad his last two games have been bad They've been bad dolphins And browns they've been bad Has the season been bad for him? Oh He's gonna have some throws where it's like, whoa, hold up now Lamar and he had some throws where he's like, oh Hold up now. So it's been a good mix, but it's been a lot more good than bad um Again for anybody questioning if Lamar is worth it if he's worth the bread Just stop. It's no point It's no point. He's worth that and more because again Easiest answer to that. Where would these ravens be without Lamar? Now against the browns this last week I don't know. They they might have been a little further, but minus that browns game Where would seriously though? Where would the ravens be without Lamar? Eight and three. No, not a chance not even close The the record it wouldn't even be reversed. It wouldn't even be three and eight. It'd be worse than that Straight up. It'd be worse than that Because they're no way No way So he's definitely blank check deserves a blank check Uh, but he definitely does have to step it up for sure. Gotta step up his game big time guys too A lot rides on his shoulders and hey, that's the part of being a franchise quarterback. It's going to be a lot on you um And hopefully we can continue ravens can continue getting help Uh from other areas of the team besides Lamar now, of course He doesn't always do it all and again browns game is a great example of it um But he's he's got to be better. It shouldn't be a reason He shouldn't be the reason why other teams I last one of my he shouldn't be the reason why other teams are hanging around with the ravens He shouldn't be the reason for that Uh, so yeah Watch that game that game is in the past now. It's done Now it's Pittsburgh time now Our last thing before we get out of here. One of my guys grind me intellect. He um, he made a very interesting point and It sounded crazy But then when you think about it, I was like, uh, I don't know if this coaching staff would do that if I don't even know. I didn't even know really how to respond to it exactly. But he talked about how With Lamar Jackson early in this year He had a presser where he talked about um, he doesn't want they they don't want as a team. They don't want to peak too early Uh, and he feels like they they've peaked too early at times And he doesn't want that to happen this year and again, we know they certainly have not peaked at all this year We can we can see that that's clear. Um Excuse me, but grind me talked about how If it's a possibility That the ravens Are playing down to their competition intentionally Because they just they they don't want to bring it all out yet now, um I I know that a lot of y'all when you first hear that you could think like what? That that doesn't make any sense. And like I said, it does sound very crazy initially And I'm trying to find the exact comment because I I really don't want to butcher it. I really don't want to um I don't want to change it up. I'm trying to find exactly what he wrote Because like I said, it was a very very interesting comment Had me scratching my head And I was just like, oh, okay, but then at the same time I was like, oh, okay So I know I'm gonna find it. They got to be in one of our last two videos. Um I'm on the oh, there it goes. All right. Here you go. He said Verbate him now. He said I've been thinking I just want to document it somewhere So he put in a comment section and now it'll be documented in this video So it'll be there forever. He said, I know Baker and the Browns were injured But aside from that, I think this team literally is playing down to their opponents on purpose I think uh the bingles they want to have a word But anyway, he said I don't really think Lamar and the team took that don't peek too soon model to heart Oh, no, he said I really think Lamar and the team took that don't peek too soon model to heart The defense that faced the Browns looked completely different from the rest of the season How they were flying to the ball. The effort looks different. I also think oh now, this is where it got really interesting, too I also think they have been saving their key assets like a jimmy smith Tyson Williams and Brandon Williams those who we think are in dog houses. Well with Tyson Williams that for sure um We do think he's in a dog house jimmy smith Ain't no dog house for him But could they be preserving him preserving his body for post season? That's something because we I hadn't heard about any injury with jimmy smith and then he just got to missing Even when he was uh healthy and not on the injury list not out of the game They like in the dolphin's game tay-tay came out for a little bit and instead of going to jimmy they went to chris wester So he's been on the sideline just sitting there with his jersey and stuff. So it's been like, oh, okay So I don't know that this is what like I said it initially it sounds very crazy But then when you really think about it and look at it, it's like hold up It sounds crazy enough to where it could actually anyway um He said uh, I know it sounds crazy and doesn't make sense But I really think that they might be saving their peak For the playoffs and throwing intentional smoke screens, especially the coordinators I don't know I don't know. I remember back in 2019 Uh again Ravens 14 and 2 and on the 12 game win streak awesome amazing wonderful dream season That's why it just it wasn't real A lot of us thought oh Greg roman he's saving plays for the playoffs He's saving plays for the playoffs Then with the playoffs He ain't saying nothing for the playoffs um And that's why whenever I hear somebody say that the ravens may be saving plays for the playoffs I immediately shut it down and I said no they're not They're not there's there's there's no way Um, and I feel like you can't save play out plays for the playoffs because what if you don't even get there? Like not that you got to show your full hand in regular season, but you got to bring it You got to bring it so you can even have a chance to be in the playoffs So I just the whole saving plays for the playoffs. No Playing down to their competition intentionally. Ah, I don't know I don't know, babe. It's I don't know, but we'll find out over these next six these last six games But I'd say these next six games with these last six games Since we had the end of the season, but either way team keeping clean. I appreciate y'all I love y'all and we're gonna see how this thing goes. I appreciate y'all rocking with us. We out
