 Tomorrow night, Thursday night football, the Ravens take on the Jets. My apologies that this video is coming out kind of late, but there were some other things that came up that we had to tend to, as you all saw. This is the definition of a trap game. But will the Ravens fall for the trap? Let's discuss. Yeah, this feels like a dream. Ain't no chess, what I mean. You see my boy, he like, I done made it, I done made it. Boy, he's a fan, and he like the Ravens, like the Ravens. And you know. So YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video. And in this video, we are here to talk about the game that we got coming up tomorrow night. Usually we got a couple days to kind of marinate on these videos, these preview videos. But not this one. This one, we got to get it in, got to talk about it. And then, boom, the game will be upon us like that. Like that. And it is a quick, very, very quick turnaround for the Baltimore Ravens. Because they just played. They just played on Sunday in a very physical game. In a game that, you know, it's funny, it came out about LeMaw. He was letting people know. He wasn't complaining about it, but he's letting people know. He said, yeah, the teams, I know they were going for my legs a little bit. And I know there were a lot of people, there was a lot of sort of backlash of people saying, oh, well, isn't that what you're supposed to do in football? Shouldn't you be tackling by the legs? You can't tackle high? Well, yes, of course. But I think people were just trying, it's like they were trying to miss the point of what he was doing. He was putting it out there that teams are trying to take him out. They're trying to take him out. And it's clear. We saw it in the 49ers game. We saw it in the Bills game. And we saw this stuff before he even said anything. We saw them doing it. And you know, over the past, the videos where we spoke about the injury to Lamar Jackson is funny that the only people that have been complaining about him saying something about that have been Bills and 49ers fans. Bills and 49ers fans. I just wish sometimes that people would take for Bills. I mean, Bills don't even got shades on because they don't know what it's like to win anything. 49ers, they just wish there would be just some of the bias removed. Just look at it from as an NFL fan. And you'll see it. You're like, they were trying it. And some people said even back in the Rams game too. And some people think, oh well, if he's running around then people are gonna try to tackle him. They gotta tackle him by his legs. But again, it's a difference between tackling and it's a difference between playing dirty. Playing dirty and trying to intentionally hurt someone. But a lot of people fail to realize that. Anyway, in this game, we're going against Greg Williams, somebody who was accused of intentionally trying to hurt people in this past. In his old past and in his recent past too. In his old past, of course, he was the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints when that whole bounty gate thing came out. And then Odell Beckham Jr. He said it himself. He said that the injury where, oh, forget the cornerback's name. Odell Beckham Jr. said that Greg Williams told the players to really try to injure him. Try to take him out. And I'm like, oh, like, hey, who knows? We'll never know. And Greg Williams also made a comment about Lamar Jackson. And he said, but he said the same thing that all the commentators say. He said the same thing that all the analysts say. He said the same thing that all the media says. Oh man, dude, just wait until you take that big hit. Wait until you take that big hit. Same thing. They've been the same noise. But anyway, the Ravens, they are going up against a team that has, they just been crazy. They are a team that made a lot of moves this off season, especially signing some former Ravens. CJ Mosey, been one of their biggest acquisitions. Levy on bail. Also, they had Colette J. O. Simley, but y'all know the story to heaven with that. Got a little ugly, but this has been a team that, they made a lot of noise in the off season, sort of like the Browns, but it didn't translate to the field. Didn't translate to the field at all. But, and hopefully this Thursday it doesn't translate to the field either. This has been a team that has been just in shambles. They've been really bad this year. They've been really bad. And excuse me if I'm sniffling throughout this video, I am a little under the weather. First my wife got sick, then I got sick, but thank goodness Carter, he's straight. Usually it's Carter passing it on to one of us, like a little running bag or something, a handoff. But yeah, so anyway, to hope baby boy stays straight. But the Jets, they just, they've been really bad. They have been really, really, really bad this season. They gave first wins to the Dolphins. I think they gave the Bengals their first win too. So they've been a team full of motivators, but they also beat guys like the Raiders and whatnot. So they just been inconsistent. They've been inconsistent. And they just, they barely beat the Dolphins the other day. And I believe it was a very questionable call that changed the end result of that game. But I got to see it for myself so I can't speak on it too much. I've only heard about it, but I need to watch it for myself. But regardless, this is a bad Jets team. So that is why this game is the definition of a trap. It's the definition of a trap game where you have a really good team, a great team. Clown up against a really, really bad team, a bad team. And the great team comes into the game. I mean, nine straight wins, right? Ooh, that is crazy. That is, that's crazy. That's crazy. And now they're playing this really bad team. But the Ravens, I just don't see them, I don't see them falling into the trap. I don't see them falling into it. And I think, I thought the Ravens offense was gonna get going against the Bills defense, but Bills defense, they held the running game down, man. They held the running game down. And I mean, the game, it's crazy that we look at that game, like a lot of analysts and media commentator or whatever. And us too, we look at that game like, man, that wasn't that good of a game from the Marjax and against the Bills. Tell me how many people have said that, a lot, a lot. And when you look at it, you're like, oh, yeah, that wasn't that good of a game from the Marjax against the Bills, because our standards have been raised by a lot. They've been raised by so much with this team, this offense. This guy threw three touchdowns that game. Three. He threw three touchdowns that game and one interception. And we're talking about, oh yeah, that wasn't that good of a game from the Marjax. Look how crazy our standards are now. That's a great thing though. So that means the level of play has raised a lot. Well, it's risen a lot. Well, it's raised risen. Anyway. So I don't expect the Ravens to take this one off. I don't expect the Ravens to hold back. I expect the Ravens to come out in this game and go all the way, man. It is a prime time game. The world will be watching. So I expect the Ravens to put on a show. I really do. This could be another one of the Marjax's, just, I think his, I mean, he's already come out, but I was gonna say he's coming out parties. But the world knows about him. But I think this game can really separate him in that MVP race. It is, of course, no disrespect to the Jets and their organization or whatnot, but I just, I think the Ravens, they definitely take care of business in this one. One thing that I've seen and I've said and spoken about, and you all have seen it too with Lamar Jackson, is that he does not take any game lightly. He does not take any game for granted. Every opponent gets looked at the same. Every opponent gets treated the same. And every opponent is just as important as the last. If the Ravens are to win this game against the Jets tomorrow night, then the AFC North is theirs, officially. The AFC North is theirs. So that would guarantee the home playoff game. Cause right now they don't have a guaranteed home playoff game. Obviously it's more than likely they get that, but it's not a guarantee. So tomorrow, if they beat the Jets, you get a home playoff game. The division is yours. And that is the first goal of any team. Win your division. Win your division. And of course you want to not only win a division, but to win that number one seed, but win your division. That's the goal because you get to play in front of your home fans. You got that energy behind you. And it's just something different when you're playing at the Criot, man. It's something different. So with that being said, they can lock that up tomorrow. And of course it'll go well and bold well for them moving forward. And they play the Browns next. Browns beat them up in their own house. They beat them up, beat them by 15 in Baltimore. So they will be coming off of 10 days of rest to take on Cleveland. So that will aid them in their quest to get that number one seed. But anyway, Lamar Jackson, I think this is the game where he breaks the Russian record. The single season Russian record for most rush yards by a quarterback. And that's where maybe Vick will fly out to the game. I know Steve Smith's team is going to be there. He's going to be the legend of the game. I think Ravens are wearing all black tomorrow, at least black tops. At least they're wearing black jerseys. I don't know about the pants yet. We'll see what the bottom looking like, but they're wearing the black jerseys. But yeah, we'll see maybe Vick might fly out there because you know Vick, he just got to be a part of everything. Willem R. Jackson. But hey, it is what it is, man. So, but as far as passing, why? Hollywood, I still don't think Hollywood caught a touchdown at home yet, besides the one in Miami, but I mean in Baltimore. I don't think he caught a touchdown there yet. I don't think so. So they, I just want to see this offense. I want to see them get back to their game plan. I want to see them get back to being themselves. I want to see them get back to playing their game. In the Bills game, so many times they got away from it, they got cute, they got fancy. And again, it's been a problem with these Ravens doing that against whether it's the former coaches or their former teams. We saw it in the Chiefs game, they got pretty, they got fancy, they were doing a lot of unnecessary stuff. And yeah, it just didn't work out good. And then you saw it in the Bills game, they were getting cute, they were getting fancy, they were doing a lot of unnecessary stuff. Some of the stuff worked out, some of it didn't, but it was, a lot of it was unnecessary. So I don't want them to get cute. I don't want them to get pretty, just play your Ravens football. Play it, play your game, do your thing. So offense, I expect the offense to have a really good game tomorrow night against the Jets defense. Now as far as the Ravens defense, oh man, I'm going against Sam Donald. I expect them to really eat, man. I expect them to eat. I expect that pass rush to get after him like crazy. If LaVion Bale decides to play, I don't know if he's going to go bowling in Baltimore on Wednesday, or if he's going to actually play in the game, we'll see. But if he does play, I think they'll be, they'll have a much better time with LaVion Bale than they did the past two running backs because LaVion Bale, still a really good running back. I like LaVion Bale a lot. This obviously hasn't been a good season for him. But with LaVion Bale, he is somebody that he's the type of running back. Remember that night we all waited up for LaVion Bale to see what his decision was going to be. But anyway, he's the type of running back that he's more of a power back. He does got some speed to him now too, but he's more of a power back. He's going to mix it both though. He can catch, he can run, he can do everything. But the last two backs that we've struggled with Singletary and Monster from the Bills in 49ers, they have been speed backs and they've been killing us on the edge, man. Them outside runs, oh, yikes. But LaVion Bale, I think the Ravens have a much, not necessarily easier time, but there'll be a lot better containing him than they were them. And I think as long as they do that early on, then you give Marlon Humphrey, Jimmy Smith, Marcus Peters, Earl Thomas, Chuck Clark. You give your secondary Brandon Carl. You give the secondary a chance to make some plays. And the more chances that the secondary has to make some plays, that means the better. Because that will mean that a team has become one-dimensional and the run game has been taken away. Because that's been the biggest thing with the Ravens. The defense in the past couple of games, that's been their biggest issue has been the run game, the run defense and these speedy running backs bouncing to the outside and taking it. So I don't think that'll be an issue this game. I gotta see who their backup running backs are because I'm naive to who they are. But they just, they gotta contain that, man. They gotta do a lot better setting that edge in run defense. Matt Judom, Fergie, Vowz, I expect the pass rush to get after G-Hot Ward. And of course, you know, Wink is gonna be sending his blitzes. You know he is, because that dude is blitz happy, but we love it because the thing with Wink, he doesn't play scared. He does not play scared. I even think that on that last play in the Bills game, I even think they wouldn't cover zero. I ain't see no safeties up top. I ain't see Earl Thomas up top. I think Earl Thomas blitz too. I think they send the house because I remember seeing Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith and Marlon Humphrey all on that guys, like one-on-one on that last play in the Bills game. So he ain't afraid. And we remember in the, we remember of course last year, like when things are all on the line, that's one thing that he's shown that he's not scared. Like, and it takes me back to last year, week 17 against the Browns season is on a, like everything is on the line. You lose this game. If you lose this game, that's it. Your season is done. Ain't no next week. Cause you playing for a playoff spot and a division, but Steelers already won. They're done. And you know that you're not supposed to scoreboard watch, but you know them players will scoreboard watching. But it's like, if you, yeah, you're done. So on the fourth down, this dude sent the house and CJ Mowley just happened to put that arm up at the perfect time and get that pick, but Winks sent the house. So he's not scared. He's not scared. And that was a big difference between him and Dean P's. Dean P's and situational football. Like overall, again, he wasn't a bad defensive coordinator, but in situational football, he was bad at the situations. Anyway, so shout out to Wink for that. We love you. Don't leave. Don't go anywhere, just stay. So again, and coaching. I mean, we already talked a good amount about coaching. I just, like I said, I expect them to, and I hope that they just play their game. I hope that they play their game. They do their thing and they do a good job of it. This, we could be missing Ronnie Stanley for this game. We probably are gonna be missing Ronnie Stanley for this game most likely. So James Hurst probably gonna start at left tackle. Now this does bode well for him because Lamar. Lamar has helped the offensive line out a lot. The offensive line has helped him out a lot. But as far as the pass rush, pass rush Lamar, he may have to, we'll see, we'll see. I don't wanna, I'm not knocking James Hurst right now. Cause again, he hasn't been out there starting this season. He's been out there a little bit on some different plays or whatnot, but not as a starter, not as a four time guy. So with James Hurst, let's just hope he does a great job and maybe he will have taken a big improvement like Matt Scorer. He maybe he will have taken it, made a big improvement like Bradley Boseman. Maybe he will have taken a big jump from last year to this year. So I mean, we never know. We'll see, we'll see. But I'm not one of the people that are like, oh man, James Hurst, I'm scared. Like look at Patrick McCurry. Undrafted rookie free agent and this dude is doing just fine. Yeah, he messed up on a couple snaps last game, but for that to be his worst problem, for that to be his worst problem, I'll take it. I'll take it in a heartbeat. So with James Hurst, I think he'll be just fine. You gotta give him a shot. Gotta give him a shot. And Lamar, Lamar said he's good. He said he's ready to go. So, hey, we are too. If you ready, we ready. We riding this train with you, man. So yeah, it should be a fun one, man. It should be a fun one. So I'm looking forward to it. And I just, I think this should be Ravens 10th when in a row. I don't expect them to fall for the trap cause this is the perfect time for them to fall for a trap because it does run that risk, but I think they'll be just fine. So team keeping clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And I'm out. And I just, yeah. Use this favorite team. What up? We talkin' sport shot.
