 So after Notch and their first win against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, you know these bingles are feeling all high and mighty. It's up to these Ravens to bring them back down to earth. And you know just what I mean, you two team keep it clean. You see my boy, he like out of made it, out of made it. Boy that's my homie, ain't that right in Graven? Right in Graven. You two team keep it clean. What's going on? It's Ayn Graven here with another video. And in this video, we're here to talk about the game we got coming up this week against the Cincinnati Bingles. Again, like we stated earlier, they are coming off of their first victory. And you know that first victory, it feels so good, especially if you've been losing and tying. It can be like you got the monkey off your back and you're feeling like you know what, let's go get another one. So these bingles are going to be coming in hot. They coming in hot, they coming in confident. But it's up to the Ravens to cool these dudes off. And to jump straight into it for the Ravens to cool the bingles off, the first thing they need to do is hit up the coldest water. With the coldest water, they can send the bingles a bunch of cool ice cold water. So they can go from hot to lukewarm to freezing just so they can be brought back down to earth. And they can get back to the bingles of old because we don't need them coming in and feeling themselves. We don't need them feeling all high and mighty and whatnot. We need to be cool, calm, not collective though, but just cool and calm. Actually, cool and crazy because crazy, they could force some bad passes and we will love that. So I know the Ravens will, but make sure you team keep it clean. Hit up the coldest water so you can get your own customized personal water bottle to keep that drink cool all game as cool as we hope Joe Burrow and them will be. But anyway, to start on defense, the Ravens, they got to establish a pass rush. We say it every week, we've been saying it for the past four weeks and they still haven't done it, but they have to establish a good pass rush. Because with Joe Burrow, they got to take advantage. I know every situation is different, every team is different, but in this situation they have an opportunity, sort of like in the Texans game. To where, yeah, the pass rush isn't the best in the world, but you got to take advantages of the opportunities that get presented to you. And just like the Sean Watson, Joe Burrow likes to play a lot of hero ball. To where he holds the ball, holds it, holds it, holds it in an effort to make a play. Because again, that is a gift and a curse, but the Ravens need to make sure it's a curse for Joe Burrow. Now he is going to make some plays. We know that this Raven secondary, the thing about them is that they've been giving up a lot of yards. They've been doing a lot of been, been, been, been, been, but not breaking. And this would be a nice game to get that corrected. But I think a lot of that has to do with the lack of pass rush. Because when you ask a corner to cover for a long time and cover and cover and cover and cover and cover and the quarterback's not getting any pressure. Somebody's eventually going to get over. And these bingos have a nice group of receivers. They're not the chiefs, but at the same time, they do have options galore. They of course have the rookie second round picked T Higgins. AJ Green, he hasn't been looking like himself all the way. But you know, AJ Green, this would be the game where AJ Green decides that he wants to make a comeback and look like the AJ Green involved. Of course he would do it against the Ravens. They got Audentate. They got Mr. 4 and 12 Tyler Boyd. They got John Ross as well if he ends up playing in this game. But so they have a nice little group of receivers. And of course you got Joe Mix and he coming out of the backfield as well. So you definitely have your hands full with their offensive playmakers. So Ravens are going to need to be on point. Communication has to be good. But I think communication, it was pretty good last week. But the biggest thing with the Ravens in this game is adjustments. And that's what the Ravens have been lacking. It's been adjustments. Last week, the Washington football team, they kept running screens over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. And the Ravens kept allowing those screens to be completed and to have gained. Those screens got big yards on them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. So if there were no adjustments in the Chiefs game, Clyde Edwards Ilea and Travis Kelsey, they kept on being wide open over and over and over and then in the first half I was like, okay, maybe they didn't catch on to it. But the second half they're going to get on it. Nope. Second half it was the same thing. So we need to see adjustments. We got to see adjustments. And I'm not saying that the playmakers aren't going to make plays because that's what playmakers do. They make plays. But still you want to be giving your best effort to take those playmakers away. Like even going back to last week again, scary Terry. He was literally the only receiver. He was the only player for the Washington football team doing anything. And the Ravens, they just did not could not take him away. So in this game, they need to be able to make adjustments. It is key to them winning and key to their success. Not just for now, but for the future as well. The pass rush. Again, Joe Burrow, hero ball. Matt Judon, of course, he got two sex last week. So I figured that last week would be sort of a confidence booster for this pass rush. And it sort of was a little bit, but not too much. We still saw a lot of the same issues. Tyus Bowser. In this game, I want Tyus Bowser to get at least one and a half sex. One and a half sex and just continue to bring pressure. The thing that's been going on with Tyus Bowser. I do feel like he's our best pass rusher right now. He does not have a lot of competition, but I do feel like he's our best pass rusher right now. But the problem with Tyus Bowser has been closing and finishing the job. Because he'll get close to the quarterbacks. He'll even get a hand on him, but they'll just make a miss at the last second. And then he'll, I mean, he still registers the pressure, but it's just, it doesn't end up being enough. Because if a quarterback escapes you, then they still have the opportunity to throw the ball and complete a pass. So we just, we hope that that pass rush gets turned up. I know that Wink, I know it can be frustrating, especially when you watch that Patriots and Chiefs game last night and seeing what they did. Rushing like three or four guys and they were able to generate pressure and still have things covered pretty good. But so you know that Wink is going to send heat. You know he's going to send five, six people, but we just hope that it ends up working. We hope that it ends up working. We know when you send extra blitzers, that that leaves somebody open. And again, Bengals have a good amount of playmakers to, if you're going to leave somebody open, that's a no bueno. But I do, sad as it pains me to say, I do expect Joe Burrow to have at least 275 yards passing. Dwayne Haskins guy, what, 310 last week. So Joe Burrow, I know he's been passing for 300 yards in every game. He may just do it again this game. He may just end up doing it again. Because the Ravens, they, you can't have, we talked about it. You can't have your corners trying to cover receivers for like two minutes. You can't do that because these quarterbacks are sitting there comfortable in the pocket against the Ravens. They just sitting back there chilling. What I'm hoping for too is something that frustrates all quarterbacks a little extra is interior pressure. On our defensive line, they are very strong. They're very strong even though in the Chiefs game they were getting pushed around. But they are very strong. And what I was thinking this year was that we were going to create a lot more internal pressure, interior pressure. But it just hasn't been the case yet. Maybe this will be the debut of Justin Madibike. That'd be nice to see him see what he can do, see what he can bring to the table as far as the pass rush. I mean it obviously, it couldn't hurt. It couldn't hurt. So hopefully this will be his week. But we'll see what happens with that. They have been obviously doing some shuffling around on that defensive line because of course Derek Wolf was out last week and Broderick Washington was in. So we'll see if Justin Madibike can make his season debut because that will be a beautiful thing. Especially if he can be, he can look as good as he looked in college. The secondary. Secondary just make plays man. Play sound, play solid and just make plays and wrap up. That's probably one of the biggest things. They got to wrap up. They have guts to wrap up and watch out for of course the big place because Joe Burrow, like the Bengals, what are they? One, two and one I believe. But the Bengals, they, not that they don't have anything to lose but this season is, there's no Bengals fans or Bengals personnel or even front office. They're not looking at this as a Super Bowl season. We know that. They would of course like to go to the Super Bowl but they're not looking at it as a Super Bowl season. So they, not that they don't have anything to lose or not that they don't have anything to lose but at the same time it's like they may take more risks. So you have to be prepared for that. Even though Joe Burrow makes a lot of smart throws, that guy is an excellent passer of the football. He is an excellent pass to the football. So with him, he doesn't take too many risks and he doesn't make too many bad throws. So Raven's just, their secondary is going to have to be on point. But again, that starts up front on a defensive line with the pass rush. The linebackers of course wrap up. Wrap up Joe Mixon when he's running. Wrap up when if you're going to be blitzing. Wrap up, grab them jerseys. No horse collars now but grab them jerseys and wrap up. Wrap up. No arm tackling. Even though A, even though Patrick Queen with that bow, that forearm tackling, he could do it. But everybody make sure you wrap up. So defense, they got to be sound man. They got to be sound. They have to be disciplined. On offense, it is important that the Ravens establish a run game early. And with the play calling, the play calling has been a little silly. And they just got to work on that. But again, that was the first four games. We'll count those as pre-season games. Both for the personnel and for the coaching staff too. And we'll chalk that up to that being a pre-season. They went three and one. So hey, we glad about that. We're very glad about that. There were some little things that were shaky in the three and one, but they went three and one regardless. Whether it was shaky or not, whether it was sound or not, whether it was solid or not. They won three games and only lost one. That's what's most important. But we're not going to act like this is a perfect football team. We're not going to act like this isn't a team that does not have some concerns and some things that they need to improve moving forward. But the beautiful thing is, again, they won three games and only lost one and they still got 12 games to go. So if every fourth of the season goes like that, then they'll just be 12 and four. So that will definitely be enough to get into the playoffs, maybe even enough to win the division. We'll see. But anyway, on offense, got to establish the run game. Establish the run game and give Gus the most carries. I think this should be a good game where you can allow a running back to get into a rhythm. Meaning you're giving him 18 to 20 carries. You're giving him like a real workload. I know the Ravens want to spread the ball around. They want to give it to him, want to give it to him, want to give it to him. Well, they want to make everybody happy. No, don't make everybody happy. Play smart running football. Run the ball. Let Gus Edwards be the guy in this game. Because you have been spreading it out. And that's cool or whatever, because I know you want to get all the running backs involved. But let Gus Edwards be the guy. Let him start off. And of course, you got your other running backs to give the ball to throughout as well. But let Gus Edwards start off and let him really be the guy. Give him 18 to 20 carries, at least. Well, Lamar Jackson, let him play his game. I just sometimes when you watch this year, it just seems like things have been off a bit. It seems like things have been off a bit. And like the Ravens, I don't know if they're trying to restrict him or just maybe it's a lack of playmakers, but just things are not rolling like they were. And like we expected them to be. And again, the offseason, I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. But Hollywood, we know he's going to make some place. Mark Andrews, we know he's going to make some place. But who else? Who else is going to make some plays as a pass catcher? Who else is going to step up? Who else is going to rise to the occasion? Because we're still waiting on somebody. Now, I would say put in DuVernay, man. Put in DuVernay, bring in some brochures as well. Let DuVernay start this game. I know and there's no offense to Miles Boykin anything, but we haven't been seeing anything else from anybody else. So it could not hurt to, it can't be any worse than what it is now. Because again, it's just Hollywood, Andrews, that's it. So it couldn't hurt to have DuVernay in there, have some brochure in there. I'm sure they'll keep Willie Snead in there too, but mix it up and just get a young boy's a shot, man. Well, a young, young boy, because all our receivers are young. But give the young, young boys a shot. Because we just, we need somebody else to step up. Because if it's just going to be Hollywood and Mark Andrews, it's not going to work. It's not going to work forever. So it couldn't hurt. Now Lamar, he needs to be better at the deep passes. He's missed some opportunities throughout the entire season. We're really throughout the last three games. He's missed a lot of opportunities going deep. Hollywood will have beat his man, and that'll be all she wrote. But Lamar just, he sells it. Or sometimes he under throws it. So he gots to work on that, connecting with Hollywood on them deep shots. So that's really important. And really connecting with any receiver who's going to be going deep. Hopefully it beats some Devin DuVernay going deep on Sunday. But hey, we'll see. So they gots to be better at that. And again, everything starts with the poor. And again, everything starts with the play calling as well. They need to, while they do need to be balanced, you need to really be smart about the play calling. And just don't do the silly stuff. Third and 12 or QB draw. Come on now. Let's be smart about things. But back to Lamar, we just want to see him be able to trust other receivers, other than the main two. Because it just shows a lack. I feel that there's that lack of trust between him and Miles Boykin. Miles Boykin is a great blocker. He just, they haven't been able to get on the same page. They just have not been able to get on the same page at all, man. At all. So that's, I'm sure that's been frustrating for both of them. As they just, they don't have that connection yet. Will they establish it? Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. That's the scary part about it. So that's very important. And special teams. Special teams keep doing your thing as far as kicking and putting Tucker and Cook and Morgan Cox, of course. And then Devin Duvenay on kick return. Pro-Shade on punt return. He's been safe. That's the thing about him. He's been safe. There was a punt return last week where if he would have had some speed, he would have been out of there. Y'all know the one I'm talking about. Because he had a hole and if he would have had some, he would have been out of there, man. But he just doesn't have that speed like that. So I think he's just, he's the punt returner just because he got safe hands. He catches everything. So hey, why not put him on offense then? It just makes sense. So anyway, I expect the final score this game to be 35-25. I think it's going to be a high scoring game. I think it's actually going to be close throughout. I think it's going to be one of them stressful Ravens games. But I think they will end up pulling off at the very end. I think Lamar plays all four quarters. I don't think he sits this one out because I think the Bengals are going to bring it. I think they're going to bring it. But I do expect the Ravens to end up with the victory in this one. But Bengals, they won't be any easy feat at all. Like, at all. So we'll see how goals team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Thank you so much for just showing a lot of support. And we'll see how this thing goes, man. We out. Keep it clean. You see my boy, he like automated. Well, that's my homie. Ain't that riding gravy?
