 It was funny because in my preview for this game I said that I expected the Ravens to take care of business in a major way I thought that it was gonna be a blowout. I thought the Ravens were gonna run away with this thing Literally, um, but then around Thursday Friday and Saturday I started thinking like wait a minute hold up now like Because I kept hearing everybody talk about how this is probably gonna be a blowout Everybody's saying all the Ravens should really just dog walk these Panthers and whatnot And then it got me to thinking the games where Ray and I even tweeted about it yesterday way before the game I said, it's probably gonna be a close one, huh? Because those games and y'all have seen it before too those games where the everybody just knows the Ravens are gonna blow these teams out Those games where people just know Those are the games where it's Uncomfortably close and this game was no different Like I know this is like thinking like way back and I mean we kind of coincidentally we got them coming up next week But remember that Jaguars game. It was a Monday night football game against the Jaguars back in Was it 2011 or 2012? I think it was 2011. I forgot what year it was, but everybody just knew Ravens were about to Do these Jaguars so nasty Then the Jaguars ended up winning a little bit anyway Team keeping clean what's going on this thing great and here with another video and in this video I'm here to share my post game thoughts from the game that we all watch yesterday and a lot of us watching together Shout out to everybody that came through on the stream Love y'all. We had a lot of fun a whole lot of fun The Ravens are seven and three They got an ugly win yesterday Well, it was ugly on one side of the ball the other side of the ball. It wasn't ugly It was pretty the defensive was beautiful to watch to see But that's expected especially with all the investments that have been put into the defense or the playmakers that they have on that side of the ball And those playmakers made place But with the defense they You you couldn't have asked him to do a better job and was crazy Because i'm crazy In my preview video, we had talked about how I expected Baker Mayfield to throw two interceptions And for the Ravens to get a force fumble on the on the panthers But I thought the force fumble was going to come via a sac sac strip It did not they did get some sacks now, which is great But that force fumble came from Marcus Peters making a play Um, so I kind of got that right I got the two picks and again the force fumble just came from another area of the defense, but I'll take it But anyway, um this game man Where do we start with the defense that to hold an nf and I know it's the panthers I know they've been struggling, but they they did have a lot to play for Um, but to hold an nfl team to three points In today's nfl in this day and age That's big That's big and another thing too. Um And that I mean really I think more so it had a bigger impact on the Ravens offense than it did the defense Uh, the penalties because I know Ravens They got called for more penalties and more penalty yardage than the panthers Anytime that happens like that's a really tough blow. That's a really tough blow Um, but anyway back to the defense like man, just amazing They they they were amazing, but they were expected to be amazing Uh, but still it's a nice thing to see. It's nice to see when stuff meets your expectations um Roquan Smith has continued Did he lead the team in tackles? Oh, no, no, no Patrick. Excuse me. My fault pq My my apologies. Patrick queen led the team in tackles, but Roquan Smith just Him being with the Ravens Is continued it so it wasn't just a fluke it with against the saints He has continued to help and elevate this team. Um, he has continued to help and elevate Patrick queen Patrick queen's game has just been taken to another level and he's been able to be more consistent now adding Roquan Smith has helped Patrick queen so much and we see it so clearly man and It's just ascended him to another level because again throughout this season before Roquan Smith Patrick queen wasn't having a bad season. He was having a pretty good season But he did have some more hiccups and whatnot and then some more hiccups are gonna come from both of them Every player ain't gonna play perfect. I mean, except marlin Humphrey, but anyway, um He has just elevated him so much man Uh, he got a sack. Patrick queen got half a sack. Patrick queen was just he was tackling with so much confidence, man And it's just it's it's a different pq. Man. He's he's so different um, so shout out to um Marlin, I will still stick with the linebackers real quick. Um, league Harrison He had a real nice hit on special teams, man It was it was really nice. Um, the defense again all game, man. They were doing their thing all literally all game Uh, Marlin Humphrey since we brought him up amazing, uh, we a question from subscriber that got sent Um, a little while back, but we did the video yesterday. We put out the video yesterday morning Well, somebody was talking about how marlin Humphrey gets gets paid to just trail wide receivers and I'm like, what? like Again, I said marlin up to me This has been marlin Humphrey's best season that he's ever had Since he came into the league his best season ever to me Because he has just been playing so consistent, man He's been doing this thing and there was there was one play. I forgot what what receiver it was intended for But it was a deep pass down the sideline It was early on in the game and it looked like it was about to be a completion But marlin Humphrey said nope not today, buddy. Ain't happening And he has just continued to just be amazing, man And of course he got his pick yesterday. Well, I have to say where he just jumped it so wonderfully. I said, all right Okay, now we see you um Marcus Peters He uh on that strip Where he uh stripped number 12. I don't know what that receiver's name is my apologies, but when he stripped him I thought that The receiver was down I thought he was down um When I was watching it live But then when they showed the replay and and first I heard the crowd like cheering like going crazy I said, uh-oh and that was like right when they first started showing the replay to us on the broadcast So I'm sure the crowd was watching it early and they were like, oh, yeah, that's a fumble So then when they uh showed us on the broadcast You could see that it was a fumble and I was like, okay, let's go Let's get it, baby. And they reversed it. It should have been a touchdown But they blew the play dead, which was uh, just weird um So, yeah, that was that uh What else? Um jpp uh jason pia paul he um, he got that nice sag shout out to briarick washington because that reminded me of um Last week with brent urban with brent urban. He tipped the ball and justin houston picked it off this time They said, you know what doing that was so nice. We're going to do it twice So at this time broderick of washington, he tipped the ball and then jpp he ended up catching it So shout out to him, um The sacks i'm trying to go through the sacks justin houston and pq. They each got a half a sack Um jason pia paul. He got a sack. I don't see kalaeus campbell. Okay. They got kalaeus campbells listed Okay, good because kalaeus campbell. He just he drilled bakel mayfield man. That was that was uh, that that's that you could tell that hurt You could tell it hurt. It was like last week when um, I think it was just in houston that hit andy dalton and it just Oh, was it even a sack though? Oh that was that kalaeus campbell too? It was one of them too. Well, they just whacked andy dalton and it looked nasty You know what? I think it might actually been kalaeus campbell But either y'all will remember better than me, but that was just a nasty sack with kalaeus campbell just whacked and I I felt for bakel mayfield that was rough man Um, but yeah, man the defense they held it down, man They certainly held it down special teams justin tucker. This is a little bit of a windy game I'm so i was a little nervous Especially with the kicks and stuff and that did change some uh some decisions that the ravens made um, I remember they had a fourth down And I think it was a fourth down where normally They would uh, they would bring out justin tucker for a field goal But then they faked like they were gonna go for it and just trying to get the The panthers to get off sides, but it didn't work. Um, so they end up taking a delay a game and then putting the ball um Special teams. I mean duvenay didn't really have much room to do anything on like punt returns and stuff um coaching coaching uh coaching in this game Uh hardball with there were two challenges with the uh the challenge where Mark andrews It was that was one of the weirdest things i've ever seen when it comes when this came to a challenge Because mark andrews clearly did not step out of bounds And he he was in bounds where he caught that pass down the sideline his his foot was in bounds Hardball challenging and they were like, oh, no, they after after reviewing it after going through it Then they were like, oh, no, this is a non-reviewable cause i'm like, what? um, the other challenge where hardball through the challenge on the Where ravens punted the ball and kevan seamore had stepped into the end zone and then he stepped out I didn't think that that he was going to win that challenge Especially when hardball did his hardball face. He was like I said, oh, yeah, he doing that face. Yeah, he know he ain't going to challenge But they won it because that for that challenge um kevan seamore he stepped in the end zone and they were like, oh in order to uh To to touch the ball and for to be not to be a touchback and for to be down to like the one you have to re-establish both feet Back out out of the end zone And I I clearly saw him re-establish his left foot, but I wasn't sure about his right foot um, but they said hey, he he re-established both and i was like, okay, cool um, but yeah, so That was a good hardball. Um, he as the head coach He had a a good game Now with with greg roman, um, and I guess we can go ahead and switch to the offense now This like this game was confusing for me because like I know that there was that there was this sequence of Play calls and there's no the sequence of of place um, where There was one play where Lamar was it where he took the took a bad sec There was one play where everybody did the same route like everybody mark andrews the markets robertson And I forgot who the other uh pass catcher was um, and it was like man like It's like everybody it's like everybody running in sequence together But besides that in my opinion, I did not think that uh, greg roman called a bad game in this game Uh, I didn't um There weren't There weren't many calls where I was like man, like what are we calling like what is going on? I didn't think that I thought the offense was just really like weird in this game. Um There like it's the way that it started off Because Lamar Lamar was pretty sharp man. He was he was sharp this game I know with the interception the interception that was that was just crazy man and shout out to that defensive lineman I said it looked like tarence. Cody. They picked Lamar off. He looked just like tarence. Cody to me Um, that dude was big. I like I don't know if I ever seen somebody that big uh get an interception before But I think it was linda bomb linda bomb was engaged with him at first Uh, and then there was somebody else another man rushing in and linda bomb was like, all right forget this dude Let me go pick up the other guy and lamar was thrown into mark andrews. I know, um Josh oliver He was open too mark andrews was open josh oliver was open I get who am I was like, let me go with the guy that I got big trust for I got some baby trust with josh Oliver, but let me go for the guy got big trust for mark andrews So it wasn't a bad decision. I think it was just like an amazing play From that defensive lineman straight up like who expects a defensive lineman to jump up and pick the ball That was that was crazy man. That was such a great play by him. But um Yeah, man, but besides that I feel like little Lamar's on point like and going back to the beginning of the game um He came out. I think patrick patrick record they Because you know patrick card. That's why receiver one. But when patrick card, he went out on that wheel route And he was open down a sideline lamar hit him in stride patrick card said what he dropped it I said, oh man. Well, I said when all wide receiver one is dropping like that That that's I got scared because i'm like all wide receiver one patrick patrick card He don't never he don't never drop the ball. He never drops the ball at all ever I said, oh And then on that on that first drive to i think mark andrews. He had a drop But when I really got scared, um, I said, oh boy, I said we we didn't fall along, huh? When the guy with the best hands on the team when he dropped the ball That's when I was like, oh boy. Is this gonna be one of them games james pro shade Because he don't drop nothing james pro shade does not drop at all And I was like, whoa, uh-oh Um, but and then I think asia likely he had a drop And oh ken drake. Oh man, that that one hurt me. Oh, that one hurt me so bad Especially when they showed the replay because he had right there. That's probably a touchdown It's probably a touchdown um But when when ken drake when he dropped that screen Uh, oh man, and the ravens had set it up. Nice. Oh, okay ravens setting up screen. Look at y'all doing screenplays And yeah, man, they just yeah, it was rough, man Uh, but thank goodness those drops. They didn't cost us the game And again football ultimate teams for every everybody got to be on point for stuff to to to work um With devon duvenay just to go back to him. We're gonna obviously talk about the markets. Robinson in a bit too. Um And a I called that one. I remember when he when he got his first like three catches I kept saying during the stream. I said, oh, I said the markets Robinson about to have a little sneaky 120-yard game Then he got another catcher kept saying then he had another catch and I kept saying then he had another catch and he got it I said, I had the markets Robinson. We I mean, we saw it coming but now I was I was happy to see Him do his thing now. Um, I know a lot of people Uh, including myself like I know I was like, hey if mark angus ain't a hundred Don't do it. Don't don't don't don't play him. Let let him get another week of rest But mark angus was obviously good enough and I think I think jeff's rebeck said he only came off the field for five snaps Um, I believe five offensive snaps. So he was out there a lot. He was out there Early often and he was impactful literally right away literally right away Uh, so I was happy to see that and he was obviously needed in this game Now, I know a lot of people's concern was oh man If mark angus is back Lamar gonna be just so focused on him. He's not gonna spread the ball around. Well, that proved to be a lie That proved to be a lie. New august roverson Um, what nine catches for let me see let me see the exact numbers nine catches for 128 yards Um, and I think he had nine targets too So every single target that every single pass that he was targeted on he called it Uh, so that was a great job by him and lamar just the the chemistry in this game It was it was on point. So it was nice to see Uh, so shout out to him. He was catching passes in the middle of the field He was catching passes down the sideline. He was everywhere doing everything. Even got him a screen pass He he did his thing now. It was a beautiful thing to see. So shout out to him now. Um, One of my concerns, uh for this game and really just overall for the season Has been the usage of one devon duvenay Uh, when when devon duvenay gets the ball in his hands, good things happen Uh, when the ravens used devon duvenay in multiple ways Consistently good things happen. The ravens did not use devon duvenay in multiple ways thus far in this game And not many good things really happen for him He did have one carry for four yards. Uh, he had one catch for three yards. Um But they and the thing that catch was actually a screen pass but they just Like you you gotta use use your guys that make plays man Use them use them Like you you he's somebody you got to do a better job of finding ways to get the ball in his hands So that would be up to to coaching right there. Um to to just make that happen So that that would be my biggest concern probably from yesterday's game as far as coaching and whatnot um So, yeah, but and another thing too Uh, mic davis was on and I know this was just one play But at the same time it was still very telling and I don't think I don't think that they got the positive game on this But I don't even remember but mic davis was in the backfield on the play and lemar did a play action Nobody's believing that Y'all don't need to don't don't don't call a play action with mic davis on the field Because everybody that I've been saying it for weeks Everybody knows when mic davis is on the field. He is not Getting the ball on a handoff So that play act when they see 28 they oh right. Oh, yeah, okay. Ravens ain't running the ball. They is a passing play Because it is that's it. It's just a a telling sign um Panthers run defense They they held it down like looking at the numbers You can't really tell that they held it down Unless you look at the longest carries because k and rake had 10 carries for 46 yards and you think oh 4.6 yards per k Okay, all right k and rake. That's a pretty good at no No, he was not going on there was that long run at toward the end of the game That's what really got him because he his longest rush was 29 yards. So that is uh He only had 17 yards left uh with his other nine carries So, yeah, it it wasn't a pretty game, but he did get that long run which made a big difference I wish he could have took it to the house, man, but it's okay. Lamar finish it off for Lamar had 11 carries for 31 yards. So 2.8 yards per run So he had a rough game running too. Justice. He'll has seven carries for 30 yards His long his average was 4.3 yards per carry as long as rush was 11 yards So he had 19 carries on six. I mean, excuse me 19 yards on the other six carries So not pretty. That's about a little less than three yards of care No, that's a little more than three. Yeah, a tiny bit more than three yards of carry. I believe but anyway um Then pat ricard they I like that because they gave the ball to him on a short yard situation No jk. No gusts. They use pat ricard in a short yard. I was hoping that um When they got to the goal line, uh, that they were gonna just hand it off to pat ricard Just get the touchdown, but they they did a little more keeping and still got the touchdown So I was like, okay, cool Long as you get the touchdown, but I expected them to give the pat ricard because again, no gusts L was no jk um I know justice hill got some sneaky strength But uh, you don't really have your power back and can't drink not a power back But i'm can't can't drink shifty now, man. That boy shit that he's shifty as a as a as a season goes along He gets more and more comfortable that boy making them cuts and whatnot. He's like, hey, yeah We trying to tell these people I still got it. So I said, all right Drizzy um, so that was nice to see when um Isaiah likely, uh, I think he would he had a drop in this game and um Yeah, man, it's yeah, I mean that's that uh Offensive line, uh run blocking wasn't all there. Uh morgue Moses Uh, I be saying morgue Moses is the enemy man last week. He forced the fumble on Lamar this week, uh Brian burns he looked at Brian burns in the eyes And he literally just he he he watched him then looked away Brian burns just literally came right in for the sack. No didn't get touched didn't get Nothing he just came right in for the sack. I said, oh my goodness. Oh my goodness um Lamar said Lamar said that he he ran into Ronnie Stanley. I didn't see what happened on that on I don't even remember what that what play it was Uh, because I remember when I was watching and people in the live stream was saying, oh, Ronnie Stanley went down Ronnie Stanley went down and then I think after the game he was in a walking boot. So that's Little scary. Hopefully it's not serious. They ain't say nothing yet. I think we'll we'll know today When they do the press and stuff. So we'll see how that goes. Um But yeah, that was the game, man. Uh, so again ugly win But an ugly win is better than a pretty loss any day of the week. Ravens are sitting at seven and three and they Again, all they got to do the rest of the season. They just take care of their own business, man Um, and that's that's all that can be said Take care of your business. Uh, every game is not going to be a pretty one Every game is not going to have every side of the ball clicking on all cylinders as we know Especially as Ravens fans. Um So, yeah, let's uh, let's see how they do see how they progress and see how this thing goes For the rest of the year. Um, but this was a a cold windy ugly game Um, and like I said during the stream, man, the Panthers after this game They need to be transferred to the afc north too. I love y'all team keeping clean I love y'all so much. I appreciate y'all and we out
