 You too team keeping clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video I'm joined by my boy sg szg sports Also a youtuber. Sorry about that Also a youtuber make sure you subscribe to his youtube channel the link is in the description and We are going to be going over a very hot topic Something that has it's been buzzing Not even just over the past couple of weeks, but it's been it's been buzzing ever since the draft Ever since the Ravens took Lamar Jackson with the last pick in the first round It's been a lot of talk about should Lamar start or not Is this flakos last year and then all that talk got ramped up When flakko end up getting hurt and Lamar was thrust into the starting spotlight So first before we get into what we discussing go ahead and introduce yourself sg Hi guys, my name is sunny Scg sport is my channel in YouTube. I do Ravens videos on wizards videos Orioles videos been a fan for in about I've been a fan of in Raven for a while and yeah If the hot topic of flakko and Lamar has been oily ceaseless Exactly and it's it's gotten super hot especially over the past couple of weeks on On this channel has been a hot topic for a super long time But over these past couple weeks. It's boiling right now. It's boiling It's the water is simmering right right up at pot's top level and it's getting ready to boil over because with everything going on this could be just a big shift in just the Ravens franchise because We haven't been in the position to where the Ravens actually drafted somebody that could possibly possibly be a future quarterback in 11 years, so that's That's pretty big way. That's that's seismic man. I agree. So let me let me throw this out First of all, this debate is basically Like politics right now. It's like you either one side or the other you can be a metal ground I have been preaching in Twitter and ready like yo, you can like both you can like flakko Flakko has done a lot of good things for the Ravens right for over 11 years And you can also like Lamar and you can root for Lamar I see people if you like flakko you basically bastion Lamar and if you like Lamar you're like a flakko hater I don't understand that argument. Um and then the other thing that I will say is While flakko is hurt, there's no need to talk about flakko being in the starting lineup flakko hurt plays Very bad because the problem that he has is as soon as he's hurt He's feeling the pressure even before the pressure gets to him. It starts over committing to throws Just looking into the first round and just panicking, right? So I think while while flakko is hurt We shouldn't talk about having flakko in that that I mean that's what I think and see and enjoy Lamar progression He had a good game different game obviously right not another typical quarterback game, right? I think in this game we gonna have more throws from Lamar I think what's gonna happen is the Raiders are gonna they're the 31st rank against the rashing right and defense They're gonna overcommit against the run they're gonna put eight nine people on the box This is Lamar's game to throw. I think also Lamar should be the starter basically a minimum till he loses one game. Oh So that's that's that's interesting right there. So if Lamar Jackson See it with if you feel like he should be the starter until he loses one game What if he what if in that game he plays a great game? What if he's like 25 out of 28 passes three touchdowns one interception and like 45 yards rushing What if he has a great game, but the Ravens still lose would you still want them to bench him? No So this is based on if flakko keep enough luck if Lamar keeps playing the same type of game that he's currently playing And I think in that first game and I think he's gonna keep progressing, right? That's what I would like to see him against well He's playing it's open, but I would like to also see him against Atlanta So I also said that while flakko is a little in here. I don't want to see flakko I want to keep Lamar now that being said if Lamar progresses to the numbers that you're saying Now flakko should be bench because Lamar is your future. It is your future and again This is no this on flakko flakko's on the tail end of his career You pick a quarterback in the first round if he by the time that flakko is healthy if he progresses that well Yeah, no need for flakko. I mean that's again That's my opinion you have minutes back up because you know, that's a running quarterback. You can get him hurt But yeah, I think Basically what I might what I meant for you play him until he gets hurt or not hurts I'm till he loses one game if he keeps playing this style a game If we lose one, which hopefully not hopefully we just roll and just win them all But if he loses one game that keeps keeps Flakko time to heal right that that's all I do think I actually like Lamar had I think at this point of the year It's very hard for teams to adjust to Lamar Right. They don't have buys. It's very hard to adjust The only way go ahead. Oh Now yeah, I was agreeing with you because they have a they have limited game film on only thing They have they can go look at the college tape and they can look at preseason Which was minimal and they can look at the games all before the bingles game Which was minimal then they can even look at the bingles game Which was minimal passing wise But he wasn't asked and he didn't need to really make a bunch of passes a bunch of deep passes in that game Because the running game was so effective now if If it was up to you If it was up to you Who would you start for the rest of the season if you had to choose one if it both were healthy If both were healthy completely healthy, I think I will go with Flakko as of right now and Again, no, there's still Lamar. I just think Flakko Dan also gives you the pushing the ball You know to the deep side of the field But he only does this when he's healthy and this is my caveat. He's not healthy If he's 80% Because I've been seen like well 80% of Flakko is better than 100% of Lamar. No If Flakko is Nick, he plays scare He plays like somebody's gonna murder him and he starts panicking in the pocket and when he panics in the pocket That's when the turnover comes. That's when he becomes Joe Flakko the check down guy He doesn't look deep and if he doesn't look deep Then he's not better than Lamar That's the one thing the Flakko has the Lamar doesn't have yet the ability to consistently throw down the field only if it's healthy. That's that's very that's interesting that you say that because um, I Don't I don't think we can say that Lamar can't do that yet Simply because Lamar hasn't he didn't he didn't throw the ball deep last week He didn't I think the longest the longest The longest amount of yards that he threw for was was nine yards And then maybe it turned into a longer completion because of the yards after the catch, but he didn't throw any passes downfield But at the same time he wasn't asked to either and he didn't need to When they when we were down, I forgot how much we were down by maybe I think it was eight But when we were down They just with their game plan. They just stuck with their run They just stuck with what they were doing because it had been working But I I feel like we can't say that oh Lamar can't throw the deep part the deep pass yet Because he hasn't thrown it yet. So for us to say that he can't throw it yet We will be speaking on something that we haven't even seen him attempt to do yet And with with that being said the the game plan against the Bengals was just run run run run run run And oh the pass to Andrews is about 15. Oh, yeah, that that was a nice pass to by the way Pass that he do to him on the sideline That was a beautiful pass because he he alluded to pressure Ran out of the pocket and what he had kept his eyes down field something that a lot of people feel like Lamar can't do but he did but anyway, he kept his eyes downfield and found Andrews on the sideline and threw an accurate pass on the run, but um Yeah, back to the back to the deep ball I just I feel like it's I feel like we can't say that we I feel like we can't say he can't throw the deep ball yet Because he hasn't been asked to really throw the deep ball like that Understand, I guess my point for him not to that I allude that is because sometimes From the limit that we have seen right he doesn't throw a tight spiral all the time And my worry is that when he tries to chuck it down the field He's not gonna throw that tight spiral. That's that's my word now That doesn't mean that he can't do it and and you know what you alluded to something that is very important If you see Lamar in this game other than the design runs every time he scrambled out of the pocket He was looking down. That's how he hit smoky for that 21 yard 21 yard completion Right right before halftime is before halftime and people don't get him credit I agree with you if you see him scrambling again, not the design runs because this iron that's what is it It is what it is. He's designed to run right he scrambles He's looking to his receivers and I and I didn't I with you Didn't expect him to do that and I was very pleased pleasantly surprised when I saw him looking through his receiver at his friend as a scramble Yeah, he was definitely definitely looking down fear. He was always always looking for something and you can tell that he He really wanted to make a play like even on both plays where uh, well one of them was intercepted, but um Even the other play where it almost got in it where it should have got intercepted He was still trying to throw that ball trying to make something happen but You can tell he's he's trying to make plays for this team He's trying to to make something happen and you could tell that all throughout the game now Um, I do ask you oh shout out to all 52 viewers in his shout out to Ray Lewis Real quick.

Oh, yeah, we got a bunch of Saints fans in here I know y'all still feeling good from last night man So appreciate y'all who that man y'all y'all know y'all family too man And a lot of y'all even come through on Raven's video. So I appreciate y'all a lot man I was in that game against her New Orleans and their fans show up and there it was great because you know There was some trash talking, but it's an all good right now. Nothing personal You shake it out at the end and it was good. It was good game I mean Tucker broke my heart, but you know it happens. Yeah, that was a sad one, but man since not Saints fans They are They some of the best in the world man straight up man Saints fans are some of the best in the world I think they're probably second But they they talk they trash or whatever But it's all in love man They don't do nothing none of the personal stuff none of the attacks on people personally or nothing like that At least in my experiences. I know my experience is different, but Saints fans some of the best. Hey appreciate that chickens. They some of the best in the world flock TV. What's up, baby? So I have a question for you and Raven. So what is your expectation? Are we making the playoffs or not? Are we making the playoffs lose the quarterback? You think it's gonna lead us the deepest in this if in the playout run Well with I Want the quarterback to be Lamar Jackson? Um, I want him to to take over from here and going forward and even if he loses a game Even if he loses two games, um, I Want the shift to begin now. I wanted to happen now reason I say that is because say for instance they They still running with Lamar Jackson, obviously cuz Flacco still hurt But what if they if if they do feel like Lamar's the QB of the future What if Flacco gets healthy Lamar come Lamar's winning and then all of a sudden they they shift back to Flacco What is that gonna say to your your rookie quarterback and your quote-unquote future quarterback? What's that gonna say to him that even though he's he's winning What's that gonna say if you still go back to what you had before? Now to get to the playoffs who will give us the best chance to get to the playoffs That's a it's such a tricky question And the reason that I say it's a tricky question is because with Lamar Jackson What I always talk about with him is there are so many unknowns with him. We don't know how he'll be Throwing the ball consistently since last week. He didn't have to do it yet We don't know how he'll be in a situation where the team is down 14 We don't know how he'll be in the playoffs. We don't know how he'll be this situation that situation We don't know how he'll be in so many different situations That's why I would want us. I want us to go with him We don't know how he'll be with the season on the line and us needing to win out to make the playoffs because that's what we in right Now we don't know how he'll be So with us not knowing how he'll be that's why I feel like we should go with him now A lot of people feel like oh, well, you should just go with Flacco Flacco got he's more experienced Flacco's been there done that Flacco's He's he got the experience in the playoffs. He knows what it takes to win. He knows what he got to do to win but We've had Flacco it's been 11 years and Flacco toward the end of the seasons especially over the past couple years He tightens up he plays better with that season on the line, but guess what we come up short Why do we come up short a lot of people like to blame it on the defense because last year the famous fourth and 12 the year before that The famous Antonio Brown stretch play and the defense just doesn't hold out the opposing teams offenses when it matters the most But guess what? Had the offense not been dead the entire first half of those seasons had the offense actually shows some life in the first Half of those seasons had the offense actually done anything in the first half of those seasons then We wouldn't be in those situations where Antonio Brown breaks through three Ravens defenders and breaks for a touchdown where we give up before them 12 At home at the Raven Stadium and the bingos end up getting the win had had the offense actually done anything had the offense look Even somewhat explosive somewhat consistent. Had they done that early then we wouldn't have been in those situations That's why I say give it to Lamar now, man Give it to Lamar now. We know what we got in Flacco and that's cool And again, it's all love for Flacco, but it's tough love and tough love is knowing when you got to move on knowing when you got to move on knowing when it's time to cut that court and with Lamar like I said, it's just so many unknown so Back to what what I was saying what people say. Oh, yeah, well Flacco, he's been in this situation He been to the playoffs and da-da-da. How did Flacco get to be so good in the playoffs? How did Flacco get to be where he had those those clutch game winning drives? How did Flacco get to be where you could count on him just in case if we needed to go tie the game ago Needed to go score a touchdown in the last minute or half of the game How did he get to where you knew that he got the ability to lead the team down the field? How did how did he get to that he got to that by having that experience by actually playing in those games? So that's why I say Lamar may not have the experience now But that's why you give it to him now because there's so many unknowns Because it's what on one and it depends on how you look at it You could be either optimistic or pessimistic or Anyway in between you could be like oh if you optimistic you like hey Lamar man, we we don't know what he can do But hey, he got a chance to be good He got a chance to make a lot of stuff happen Or you the pessimistic ones could be like oh well We don't know what he can do and while he might suck or he might be bad or he might do this He might yeah, it is a team game Mike Mike, but I'm with the with the quarterback The quarterback play that we've had Over just a long time. It's been it's been okay Some games is hot some games is cold some games side and it's just it's been such a lack of consistency at the quarterback position and With with that lack of consistency a lot of people like to blame it on a lot of things and again somebody brought up how I Think is my boy body more he brought up how when people talk about Lamar It seemed like they baby him they're like oh man. He's not ready Oh, man Well, if he plays now then if we get a new coaching staff then he might not be ready or he they might mess them up They might stun his growth. They might do this. They might do that and they talk about maybe he can't understand certain concepts of blah, blah, blah They baby him, but yeah, he's a man and he's in the NFL and he's in the NFL for a reason now with flakko Some that somebody else brought up. I think it was for an old Raven, but they brought up how actually flakko gets baby, too because Back to when I was talking about the inconsistencies that we've had at the quarterback position for so long A lot of people so it's the offensive coordinators. He had different offensive coordinator So that probably stunning his growth to mess them up Oh, it's been because of his lack of weapons because old flakko don't had the best of the best at why I receive it So that mess them up. Oh, it's the offensive line because the offensive line not the best in the world So that mess them up. They have all these different reasons and excuses To why flakko struggles So it looks like flakko is one that's being babies I Just to piggyback what you're saying a couple things Even though the statements that I said earlier I actually think if Lamar starts this game and wins and and then he starts in Atlanta and wins You can go back to flakko at that point And if we lose one or two games and we're not and we get knocked out of the play-off run doesn't make sense to go back to flakko because Lamar is your future and If we don't get knocked out of play-off and it's because Lamar is rolling you should not go back to the To flakko because if you go back to flakko and start losing it like I don't know who was to say there's a team game Yeah, you might lose your team because the teams and it will be right in the hot hem Lamar's making plays were winning games But flakko we started losing Why right the other thing is the point on flakko. I agree. I Don't fall flakko for the money he makes Good for him. Oh, yeah money comes expectations And if you're gonna make top five eight money in the NFL like Rogers like breeze You know what? Those guys don't have the best weapons either, but they make their guys better, right? Speak no one better. No, I'm so glad you said that because you you even yeah Flakko is paid like some of the best of the best and yeah, you never fought no man for getting his money But you even look at look at Drew Brees last night Everybody's scoring touchdowns last night. There's one even draft it They weren't even drafted they were names that one got Tommy Tommy Lewis a Tommy Lee something like that He just got signed he just got activated like it was random do it car Car he reminds me of Chris car who used to play for the Ravens and the Titans to I believe but car He's he ain't he ain't get drafted Joe breeze got all these dudes last night over here balling out and not all these dudes undrafted So again, that's exactly what I was talking about There's always it's a lot of people that tend to make so many excuses for Joe flakko and his lack of consistency So it's just like man I was gonna say that Like I said, I don't fall him for the money But if flakko would have been making let's say 14 mil, which is I think is it's actual value in the NFL Don't I think flakko's values around the 14 mil like a average quarterback Bonnie I'll go ahead. Sorry. I don't say I agree cuz flakko. He's he's not bad No, he's not bad Because this it's a lot of quarterbacks that are worst But he's not good In my money time. Oh, he shows up then money time like in the in the playoffs. Yeah, flakko goes off and usually Well, I guess I guess now when the season's like all the way on the line Then he goes off cuz I thought I was expecting like, okay Yeah, flakko gonna have a bounce back game against him still is because this is usually what he does Usually has his bounce back game especially after some of his bad games cuz just cuz of the inconsistencies, but It wasn't so good but when When it's time when it's like crunch time crunch time. He usually does his thing but The thing that that is the most frustrating about him my biggest frustration with with Joe flakko is that if you can play like this With these same weapons that you have or lack of weapons so to speak If you can do that play play good so good with them in the playoffs and in crunch time What why can't we get that early in the season? Why can't we get that consistently throughout the season? Because the lack of us getting that throughout the season consistently That's hurting us big time. It hurts our offense. It hurts the overall team So that's that's just my biggest frustration with him and flakko. He has Always say it. He's been the same guy He's been the same quarterback his entire tire career been the same exact type of quarterback about 25 touchdowns about 1213 in his interceptions He's been that he's always around those same numbers every year A little a little more a little less depending on the season or whatnot, but but usually around there But it's the the inconsistencies just It just kills the team and and then when especially in recent years when We've been having these defenses that We've been having these defenses where these defenses been made they make plays all year They do their part. They they do what they got to do But then you go to offense and it's like oh man like the these these defenders man They got to be frustrated. They got to be like oh man like we oh we got another intercept Well, maybe not this year, but certainly like last year in years past. Oh, we got another interception Oh, these dudes went three and out. Oh, we forced a fumble. Oh, these guys went three and out again Oh, man, we forced to turn over. Oh, man, all he's getting is a field goal. Like what's going on? but the offense It's been it's been a weak point was really been a weak point for Baltimore's entire Existed for the Ravens entire existence. Excuse me For the most part besides the the Kubiak here But even even with that Throughout different years we get little spurts here and there where the offense goes off, but it's just so inconsistent Hold on real quick Sam Jackson said did you guys I appreciate that donation? He said did you guys this did you guys this past Sunday is something you have been what? Did you guys this past Sunday is something you have seen at the quarterback position? I Think he must have missed a word in the in the question. What's up? So I think what he's saying it If what we saw Lamar something that I seen before and I mean, I haven't seen something like this is Michael Vic but Even Lamar Rush way more. I think Vic's career high is 15 rushes Lamar Rush for 24 I know it says 27 last three was a kneel down. I don't count those but It let me tell you something Lamar so shifty Even in the pic I was so upset in that pic because he drew that defender so bad It was like a crossover in the NBA. He was on his knees down the ground and then he throw the pic, right? Let me go back to a point that you're saying about the defense and people blaming the defense They passed two seasons. I get three. We basically lost We didn't make the playoffs for because of one game and we always have a stinker this year We had it against the Panthers so far, but the Panthers is a legit team and the Browns too In the Browns, so yeah, that was bad, but and I'm hoping that one doesn't bite us But look last year the Bears game We have no business losing that one if we win that game. We're not looking into that that 4 and 12 year before the year that Antonio stretches his hands If we beat the Jets there, I think one two games that year we lost to the Jets The Jets didn't have their starting quarterback. They then they started Gino We injured Gino and I think Fitzpatrick money come I don't know somebody else came and we lose to them. The offense was non-existent in both games People need to stop blaming the defense. I get grief on Twitter. I get grief Reddit because I say yo the defense have won back game so far the Panthers game Mm-hmm Yeah, no that that game we got thumb that game we got thumb The rest of the games our defense have done Just enough for if we had a above average offense with what a one. Oh, yeah I'm not talking about a good offense. Yes above average. You're right May not be forcing turnovers and I get frustrated with that and then they not forcing sex and I do get frustrated with that but They're giving up 21 points in today's NFL 14 points 17 points Yo, I'm above average offense should port 24. Look what the Saints are doing They're steamrolling everybody and what did they did against the Ravens? 24 points. Mm-hmm. That's awesome. That is a good defense I guess that offense letting them score only 24 points Yo, that is pretty a spectacular in my opinion They need to keep rolling the off and that I think that's what Lamar brings to go back Lamar brings an excitement. I think to the whole team Going back to your point defense probably was frustrated and like yo three and out. Here we go We know with Lamar even if it is look even if last week we got One two or three when how many three and house we could have gone They shoot up so much clock because we're running better, right? Not only Lamar, right that opened the gate for Gus One thing that people are not talking enough is in the RPOs Lamar was reading that DM perfectly when the DM play wide Looking for Lamar to run. He will let Gus run and Gus was just taking it and going and when he was Collapsing on Gus. He was taking the ball. He did a great job in the RPOs So I think Lamar was showing the clock and letting the defense rest and bringing that excitement That is just I think it might be what this Ravens need to push to the playoffs Yeah, yeah, cuz I'm Lamar just that his energy it can translate to both sides of the field And you it's crazy when you when you hear guys talk about them when you When you hear like other players talk about when you see the interviews when they talking about them And of course some of it some of them might just be putting on for the cameras or whatever But it just seems like when they talk about them, they smile when they talk about them They're excited when they talk about them they just they know what this guy is capable of and It seems like they believe in them and it does seem like they saw the rat rallying around him I mean then on on defense to like he he threw the interception That put the defense in a tough spot in a tough spot because of their their Bingo's offense was in our territory with that interception But Lamar sure turned into a safety on that play and made that tackle and Then he ended up doing enough they're doing what he had to do and we came back So he just seems to have this this this good energy about him to where he's just He's super chill Super relaxed, but he seems super Competitive like even when of them when I've watched a I watched a couple of different interviews where he spoke To some different like analysts and guys from ESPN and NFL Network and whatever And when they they all asked him the same question They all asked him like oh So what's what's gonna happen because you know that you ain't gonna be able to run like that against other defenses and you said I'm gonna just throw the ball. I'm gonna throw the ball He's confident he knows that he knows that it's coming He knows that the running and all that stuff is not gonna work He knows he got to prove himself But for him to just be straight up and and just have that confidence here It's I hope it goes a long way and I think one of the things that I also like about Lamar is he takes it when he does something wrong He will say like yeah that pick that was horrible that pass that he just missed against the Panthers We need to see what's wide open. It was like yeah, that was a horrible pass as soon as that flag Man, that's something I don't like about Flacco. He like never blames himself fully. He'll be like yeah, that was bad But you know, this is a bad team. I'm like, you know, no you take responsibility for the crap you did and Second I remember in the draft Alexander in the corner from the Green Bay Packers when they are Alexander. Yeah, yeah as soon as Lamar got drafted He got so he was super excited. He's talking to him. Yeah, I was him And and he said defender goes back to your point. This guy brings this level of energy to the team Good point. That's such that's such a good point I didn't even um because I don't I don't watch college So I don't know a half of them wonder. I don't know about 99% of them when they coming out but um, I Do remember that there was there was some guy that was uh, yeah, he was super happy for Lamar Jackson when he got drafted I didn't know it was him He's been a beast man. He's been a beast He's been a good player, but my point was that going back to your point He's on defense, right? So it's in college the teams are even bigger, right? He gets so excited for his boy This is what Lamar brings and the other thing is the reports are and this reports I will I had never seen him from fiber The work ethic from Lamar They say he's the first guy in the gym the first guy in the castle the last guy to go out because he wants To get better. You see I think flackle God gave him a lot of abilities and I think for At least this is my opinion seems like he got good enough and he was like, okay I'm good. I'm good and he plateaued and he was like, okay I can play like this and make my money in the NFL Lamar looks like no, I want to be good. I want to be great and I love that about him Yeah, it has um Yeah, like like you said that effect man that that effect Sam Jackson said did you notice that he smiles after every play? And what's up Garnett? He probably just super happy to be out there, man Super happy to be out there with the team super happy to be just making play super that super happy to just have this NFL experience because this is Got to be a it's got to be crazy for it's got to be crazy for him because this dude is like this is That was his first game started First NFL game starting and you're starting for a team that has been on a losing streak It's just not been looking like who not been looking like no playoff team Even um, there was a question from subscribing and y'all to see this in the in a question from subscriber video Between tonight and tomorrow, but somebody asked like why? Why were Ravens fans acting like the season was over heading into the bye week? And it was because it looked like it was over the team was not looking good the team looked dead Offense wasn't doing nothing defense was they they just they were getting out coached and it was just It wasn't looking good, but then all of a sudden we get new life and We got it. We got a shot now real quick Berlin said flacco flacco was a nine-to-five guy Football is second for him. Nothing will ever change that Lamar wants to be great He loves eats and breathe football. Oh, let's go back to the point that I was saying That's the reports that Lamar just wants to even when he was saying that when he got sick and with his stomach issues He was in the hospital with his iPad watching love that watch film boy Keep watching film. That's what makes you good The only thing that I would say that I want Lamar to get better is as he runs in the open field Slide a little bit more. I think Russell West not Westbrook Russell Wilson He mastered that right he runs well and he slides when he needs to slide And I think Lamar sometimes in that game at least took a couple shots that I would like him to take right But he will learn that he will learn that with time as he watches more film. He also will learn How to read defensive better and I think something that I saw smokey do was when Lamar scrambling Don't die your route smokey in that 21 yards. He kept going. He was like, I'm here No, let me just run so Lamar can see me and he was wide open easy throw for Lamar to make so Yeah, man And speaking of the sliding Purple Rain productions. I feel like I said no. Yeah purple rain productions. He asked How did you feel about? The report that the bingo supposedly was saying that they wanted they were gonna hurt Lamar So so the report was actually Lamar said that the He didn't slide. He got he got he got good tackle I don't know who the guy was and the bangles guy as they were tackling. He said, I'm not we're gonna hurt you and you know what He needs to expect that because usually you see a quarterback running in the open field. You're you're you're looking to take him out but Like he go lines over fleck over exactly which I thought it was a cheap shot, but anyway Um, he needs to expect that that's what I want him to slide one I do want him to if he sees they're gonna have an open path to slide If it's not a critical you're trying to fight for an extra yard to get a first down To slide and keep going, but those are stuff. Those are things that he will learn like you said It was his first start the only quarterback of this year's draft that I thought looked better in his first start was Baker and Darnell look good in his first start and then he just looked horrible for the rest of the time So they're rookies, right? You they're gonna have some mistakes But still that element of running and not only running how elusive he is It's just exciting as a Raven fan. I was excited to watch him Yeah, yeah, man. Um, he just Yeah, I'm hoping that he ends up being real special man because I'm just looking forward to just life on offense Now with Flacco, I know Birdland mentioned. He's a nine-to-five guy. I know you mentioned that um, you never really hear about his work ethic Something that we talked about It was before this season started It was with the whole when it was the whole thing going on about Flacco getting with his receivers or possibly not getting with the receivers And a lot of people were making a lot of commotion of it. We talked about it a lot on this channel But what I mentioned and there was some Ravens reporters a lot of them They they try to like tone it down and they were like hey and flat This isn't something that Flacco He doesn't really do much, but they still be winning like I think they said something like in in the 2012 See in the Super Bowl season. He didn't do it, but uh What I said about that with him not getting with his receivers and not getting with them Even if even if he did it this year, which he did But just that not being a habit of his it just shows that like you said He it doesn't seem like and I don't know. I don't know what goes on in his head But it doesn't seem like he ever wanted to be great Because the greats they get with their receivers like a Peyton Manning like a Tom Brady And Rogers, I'm not sure if he does it or not. I wouldn't be surprised if he does though but um Those guys would always get what their receivers go go somewhere and they go pass the ball work on routes work on time and work on Chemistry work on all of that stuff. They do that. They put in that extra work In order to make that jump make that leap from being okay. Well, I'm good, but that's cool But no, they they end up being great. They they do the extra stuff and With Flacco it just I Don't I don't feel like we ever really got that extra stuff consistently because I'm and With with Flacco, I know a lot of people like to get on his his demeanor they like to get on his just his What's the word I'm looking for? This is his lack of facial expression his monotone I call him the man face, you know the man emoji. That's what he is. He's just So yeah, they like they like to get on that and but with that I can't really get on that because that's that could just be his Personality not everybody is all rah rah like that, which is fine but then when the with his personality when it shows with the Lack of extra work to put in When those two match each other it's like, okay. Well This ain't so good. Um, and that's why he's Just okay, and not good or not great and just not consistent and it goes the same way with What you could relate it to if you go in the school or you go in the work you may be a B or C student But you got to put extra work in if you want to be a student even a plus student Then you're gonna have to put some extra work in to make sure that your grades get raised up to that next level If you at work If you at working you trying to move up in whatever company you can't just come to work and just do the same old stuff You can't just come to work and punch in and put that punch out You got to put in extra work. You got to talk to people. You got to find out how to get better You got to do all that good stuff or the extra stuff and I think that uh Flacco just the lack of him doing all the extra stuff That's what we're going to that point. Can you imagine one of those guys talking about Peyton? Breathe one of the top Quarterbacks they having a bad year I'm sure they will obsess to see how they can just get better. Mm-hmm That's Flacco looks to be okay. We're having a bad year and goes back to what I'm saying I feel like when he loses or when we have bad games, he doesn't take it personal He doesn't as a quarterback. I would like for him like yeah I mean this mistake that mistake if I would have been better I think we would have won right he takes it like yeah, you know the team didn't perform the team was okay We had this problem. So I'm like that is true, bro But you know take responsibility, right? So I remember when we got smoky different and Twitter smoky The first thing that said was like I think you will see I think he's he quoted Carson Palmer Saying like Carson Palmer told me in the offseason tell me the place and I'll get with you so we can start You know working on routes Flacco did it like the day before camp open on a park nearby almost like the minimum effort Go back to your point if especially he him struggling. I would expect that him to work on his crap What am I missing? I'm timing. Okay, then let me give my wife with my receivers Let me work on time But he doesn't do none of that which goes back to my point in Baltimore beat batch The receivers not be able to develop and I do think some of that responsibility goes back on flackle Because if you would have got parents in with you every summer By the time the season starts His route running would have been better and he then becomes more than just a go-out right a go route And he has issues with his hands Okay, but you as a quarterback wouldn't help him develop better. I mean that that's what I think That's why in Baltimore. Usually the veterans are the ones that work better here because They're ready. You know what to do right versus the rookies I feel like we don't have that quarterback to show them and I don't think Lamar will be that guy now But I'm actually expecting him to be that guy later because he does work and he does want to get with the guys.
