 Good y'all doing all right cuz I gotta check on y'all man cuz sometimes when news like this hits It could throw your whole day off Ravens. I ain't letting y'all throw my whole day off my they've been going good It's gonna continue to go good even though this news ain't the best news in the world We still good over here. I love y'all team keep it clean y'all keep your heads up. It'll be okay So earlier we dropped the video of course We all had got the news that a Ravens player I have been placed or he was he had not been placed yet But he had got COVID and that player ended up being Jaylen Ferguson So Jaylen Ferguson ended up being placed on a COVID-19 reserve list, but He wasn't alone Because when one player on a team catches COVID what the team has to do is a thing called contact tracing and What that contact tracing is is when they find out who was around the player How long they were around a player how much they were around this player who got COVID because you are a close contact therefore We got to put you down for a little bit too and That leaves Brandon Williams Justin Mada BK and Justin Houston they are all out For this game against the Detroit Lions now that leaves the Ravens very thin on the interior of the defensive line and Because that leaves you with just Kalea's Campbell Broderick Washington Justin jelly Ellis and that's it Of course, you're expecting to probably make a call-up or something But right now that's it and even if they do make a call-up is still thin Why because remember Derrick Wolf is he's been out too. He's been out Purnell McPhee Jeff Zrebek said he might be out because he dealing with a shoulder injury So they are very very thin on the interior of the defensive line and then guess what the pass rush a Duffer away. He got AFC defensive player the week last week Yeah, you're gonna have to make another appearance on that list my friend because Justin Houston will not be opposite of you this week Tyus Bowser wheel and Dalen Hayes should be making his debut this week But Justin Houston is out so that puts more pressure on the young guys and they got to step it up that much more Now it's important that the Ravens offense because Lamar Jackson. He returned to practice today Hollywood He returned to practice today, but that was expected for both of them But the Ravens offense, but it's not underappreciated. We definitely appreciate them practicing But the Ravens offense, they have that much more pressure put on them now. Why? because Your offense has to score that much more now Because you need to dictate this game. You don't need the Lions controlling how this game go No, you cannot let the Lions be in control Because you're thin on a defensive line and you want to make them as one-dimensional as possible You wanted to be to where we watching the game as fans and we see Jared golf do a play-action We like why is he doing play-action? We know he's throwing We need it to be like that because that defensive line is very thin and This gives the Lions an advantage on the ground because those defensive linemen they get tired They and now since they get tired, it's gonna be harder to who you're gonna sub them in for Who you gonna let spell them who is gonna come in and pick up the slack if a defensive linemen Slacks off or it's tired or exhausted or whatnot So this is why you you gots to that offense got to put up some big points this game. You have to now This news it was not definitely wasn't the worst news in the world And the fact that the Ravens are playing Detroit even though it's any given Sunday So not sleeping on Detroit, but them being in the shape that they're in it does help But Ravens still got to bring it But at the same time, this is not the worst news that we could have received and I think a lot of us Ravens fans when we saw this it was almost expected and We were like, okay. All right, cool It wasn't like, oh my goodness It sucks now the news ain't good But at the same time for every artist's injury news that we done been through For every person at the Ravens done put on in your reserve this year I think we've developed this sort of callous and this sort of like numbness to a lot of this injury news and And we we almost like it's like, okay. What's next? What's it gonna be next and And just like the Ravens with this new saying that they got now Ball more And I love that man But now the players that are available the players that are practicing the players that are playing They're gonna have to ball that much more because you got a lot You got a lot of guys out a whole lot of guys out Now injury news. It wasn't all bad because For the first time this regular season He practiced in full who? Jimmy Smith Welcome back Jimmy So Jeff's reaping this say that Jimmy is expected to play in this game and also the Sean Elliott he came back he returned to practice, too So another boost so it's not all bad news and again going back to the guys that are out due to the cove it Again, Jaylen Ferguson, Maddie B. K. Brandon Williams, Justin Houston It should just be for one game This should be it then once they take all them negative tests and whatnot they can come back and be better than ever But it should just be for one game. So we had been so used to this offseason This guy's out. Oh, man. Okay out for the year out for the year out for the year out for the year out for the year And reserve and reserve blah blah blah But so this is why this news. Yeah, it stings a bit But the timing of it not that people being out is ever a good thing because it's not and Something that I talked about Remembering some questions from subscribers. Somebody said, well, what's the biggest thing you could see holding the Ravens back this year? And I said possibly coaching but also health That's the biggest thing man Biggest thing and health has really just taken a toll on this team but Even with the guys that we lost and we will also very great players Ravens are still in a position to make some noise They show that against the Raiders who are a good team. They show that against the Chiefs who are a good team Both of those games literally came down to the wire Ravens right now They could be to it could be on to They could be on to they could have lost both of those games, but they could also be to a no Just one play here one play there one less turn over here one less turn over there and they could be undefeated So Ravens have shown again that they can rock with anybody despite everything that's going on And now you're going up against a lesser opponent, but again, you cannot sleep on them I still think Raven should be in good shape But again offense Running points up man Run the points up run it up run run them up big time because you're going to need to Make them one-dimensional make them have to get past happy Late and this will be a good game. Let Jimmy Smith get his legs back under let Tay Tay get it going again Anthony Avery hump let all them boys have to do a lot of work not the interior defensive linemen though and now a Dalen dip haze Now he ain't gonna have no choice, but to be earlier. We talked about like with Dalen haze He's like, oh, he might get a couple snaps here now and defense, but now. Yeah He definitely will because first it was just Ferg that was out, but now it's Justin Houston and Ferg So Dalen haze will be out there. You will see that 59 for sure And of course, you'll see the 99 and 54 and whatnot But yeah, man. So again, the news is bad, but it's not the worst news in the world Especially given what Raven's current situation is with all the injuries team keeping clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all I hope y'all are having a great Friday. I know this kind of do a little dinner and then mess it up a little bit But it'll be okay. I appreciate you. You have a great day and Just like a long list of Ravens all when it comes to the game against the Lions this coming Sunday We out
