 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on a singraven here with another video and in this video yesterday on Twitter my guy Mark kill he asked a very interesting question that I've actually seen a few other people ask as well and It's something that had actually come up a lot last year Especially around this time or maybe a few weeks earlier Because it was a question that a lot of people had on their minds now really quick going back to last year The reason that this question came about was because last season Especially in the Buffalo Bills game especially in that game We started seeing some new wrinkles in the Ravens offense so the question was is Greg Roman saving plays for the playoffs and it was a legitimate question and Thinking back to last season because we started seeing a little extra here little extra there Oh, wow. We haven't seen that before. Oh, wow. We haven't seen that play either. Wow. Where did that come from and It made us wonder in our minds like man here. Oh, yeah playoff time Greg Roman getting ready to get in his bag He really is because we got the number one offense in the league now We don't been putting up so many points and in playoff time Yeah, people have seen what we've done throughout the regular season and it's worked throughout the regular season so we expect them to continue doing what they've done throughout the regular season even in the playoffs and just Sprinkle a little bit more on there So that had some of us excited and we just knew because again, I remember one place specifically Was right before halftime in the Bills game right before halftime They were they were lining up like they were getting ready to do a QB meal And I was like, okay, we're gonna have time blah blah blah But then they snapped the ball to Justice Hill and he got like 20-something yards. He got a nice little chunk gain and I was like, okay, I've never seen that before Then also they started doing a couple of more screens like last season Our screen quota was probably about three per month this year It's been one screen per month and I told you that every month they run one screen and they cap out. That's the max That's the limit right there So maybe they saving some more screens if they get to any anyway and last season, of course We saw the Heisman package and so again We started seeing little things here and there that gave us an indication that hold up Even though our offense has been very successful Greg Roman ain't even pull out everything yet. So that had a lot of us hype But then we got to the playoffs and we saw that We saw that We saw Lamar Jackson a Ravens offense Led by Lamar Jackson, we saw him throw the ball 59 times 59 times and Usually nine times out of ten if your quarterback no matter who your quarterback is if your quarterback is throwing the ball 59 times That's not good It's not good But especially a Ravens offense Like this or like that like that we had last year for him to come out in a playoffs and throw the ball 59 times That's not good And for amongst your running backs For them to have what was it six carries total? What was the six or nine carries? I forget what it was, but it was a crazy low number and It was like wow like where did this come from? these guys did not play that game at all and Again, this is why I could never I Can't get behind behind it when people say oh man see Ravens proved it last year that a running team They cannot win a Super Bowl You can't run your way to the Super Bowl Well Ravens never got a chance to prove that last year because they completely flipped the script They flipped the script These were the this was the best running team in NFL history and and these dudes just stopped running the ball They stopped it Mark Ingram was hurt last year in the playoffs as we know And Gus Edwards every time I think about it's like it's crazy Gus Edwards had like three carries I believe and then one of them went for like 18 20 yards and you never saw him again Disappeared it to come on. That was it. That was it So these Ravens they didn't even try they didn't even try to run the ball So they completely just changed everything. So if that was what Greg Roman was saving for the playoffs, he should have kept that He should have kept that he should have saved that for a whole another seat. He should have saved that for a preseason game Don't bring that to no playoffs. So now the question was asked about this year. I Saw for my guy Mark Keele I saw from some people in the comments section I've talked about it to a few people in DMs as well and and they've all asked the same question Do we think that Greg Roman is saving plays for the playoffs? Because of how the Ravens offense has been looking a lot better recently Things have been a lot smoother recently Granted it has been against the Jaguars Granted it's been against the Browns and granted it's been against the Cowboys But like I've said When we've talked about those games the offense what they score of 40 points last week Well 38 because the safety against the Browns They scored like 40 42 no 40 because they got the safety and Justin Tucker kicked them field goals And then against the Cowboys. I think they scored 34. I believe I forget but With those games even though it was against the Cowboys, they are a lesser opponent We've still seen Ravens offense go against lesser opponents and Not play as well and and not put up points and and not score at will because that's almost what it What has been seeming like they've been doing because They have like Sam cook though the past couple of weeks that dude has been getting some big breaks The Mark Jackson and the Ravens offense. They have been moving. They've been moving. It's been consistent offense consistent scoring And this is a beautiful thing because like I said, even though it's come against those lesser opponent We're not the Browns. They definitely not a lesser opponent But even though it's come against the Cowboys and and the Jaguars and the Browns too Again, we've been we will be having a completely different conversation had the offense not been producing But back to the question is Greg Roman actually saving some plays for the playoffs. Well first and foremost Ravens aren't even in the playoffs right now. We're hoping that in about 28 no not 28 in about 48 hours We're hoping that the Ravens will have a playoff spot And then from that point on they'll just need to take care of the Giants in the Bengals Because that will mean that the Dolphins lost their game against the Raiders. We're hoping that they get that But they don't have that right now So is he saving plays for the playoffs? Well, it's not even a playoff team right now and After last year, I Just could he have some plays that he hasn't tried yet that he hasn't executed yet that the team just Hasn't put out there on the field yet. He could But are they saving that for the playoffs? I wouldn't get my hopes up I really wouldn't and that's obviously no offense to anybody that's thinking that but I'm just going based off of what we saw last year I'm going based off of that and I'm also going based off of what we've seen this year Because if he really had something in his bag If he really has something that he was just waiting. Oh, yeah, here come the big guns, baby If he really has something like that Wouldn't you think they would have pulled it out already in those games where the offense has just been lackluster In those games where the offense just has not been putting up many many points Don't you think if he has something ready? He would have pulled it out in the chiefs game And I know some people my oh well. No, that was a chiefs game That was only week three. He wouldn't want to show his hand too early Okay, cool, whatever In the Steelers game the first one that Lamar Jackson did play in well offense was actually doing pretty good The defense couldn't close it out. Okay, cool What about the Titans game because around that Titans game? That's when those those playoff implications They they were getting real They were getting real. What about in that game? But the offense the team they had a two-score lead But it all came crashing down and then They had an opportunity to win it on a game winning drive came up short got the field go to tie it And then they had an opportunity in overtime Wouldn't you think especially for an offense that had kind of stalled out? Wouldn't you think that they will pull it out then? No, oh, okay, really. Okay. Well, but they didn't they didn't What about against the Patriots? What about in that game? Where the monsoon is coming down. Yes, ugly weather conditions, but hey, you still got to score points Patriots show been scoring points They've been running the ball all over you. What about in that game? No, not in that game. Okay, not in that game Okay, cool cool cool cool So the Ravens my point is that the Ravens have had times when they've needed to pull out some plays that Greg Roman may be saving but they haven't and They've needed to use those plays that Greg Roman may be saving in some crucial games because Had they used some of those plays that Greg Roman may be saving Then they may not have been at this point right now where they actually need help To get into the place that Greg Roman is apparently saving these plays for that being a playoffs That's why and again based off of last year from what we've seen. I just Can't man. I Can't I'm not I can't just I can't think that I can't think that. Oh, yeah, Greg Roman He holding it back for the playoffs. No, especially after last year. No after because think about this Think about this Ravens were the number one seed last year number one number two number three number four number one seed last year so They had an extra week Oh They had and I know the title the Titans didn't get um The it wasn't decided that the Ravens were gonna play the Titans until the Titans took care of business against the Patriots So but still the Ravens had an extra week To game plan they had an extra week to game plan Greg Roman had an extra week to game plan and And and even even if they didn't have an extra week even with just a week of preparation playoffs To go from what they had done in a regular season to that With an extra week of preparation I definitely wouldn't bet on him saving anything for the playoffs this year for Ravens making it. I wouldn't But my hope would be that if the Ravens do make the playoffs this year that They can maintain a level of consistency especially on offense That would be my biggest hope for this team that they can maintain a level of consistency on Offense and keep doing what they have been doing for these past couple of weeks Keep doing what I expect them to do Against the Giants keep doing what I expect them to do against the Bengals as well and just hope that the rest of The chips fall exactly where they may So the Ravens can be in that final seven because like I said, I feel like if the Ravens can make it in They'll be straight. I feel like they will be a okay as long as they can get in there I got all the confidence in the world in this team straight up Because once you get in that's it anything could happen and I know the last two years 0 and 2 0 and 2 Oh, I know that trust me. We know that I think we were there for both of those Both of those games with Ravens loss in the playoffs. We were right there watching live Watching like you can go watch the vlog if you like, but we were right there watching life So and it's like man though those games almost They almost made you numb to the loss Because the losses the Ravens got down so big and then they just they really made you question coaching too Now it was someone's on execution too, but it really made you question coaching It really did because again, they just where was the there was such a lack of adjustment First year there was such a lack of adjustment second year. They adjusted too much And they just scrapped everything that they did in the regular season, but we could go on and on about that but So my point is that no I do not think that Greg Roman is saving plays for the playoffs I just can't I can't think that There's no offense to anybody that does think that it's nothing wrong with thinking that but me personally I just can't not after what we've seen last year and Not even from what we've seen this year So anyway team keep it clean.
