 So YouTube team keep it clean. It's time for some post game thoughts from that Ravens Commanders pre-season game that felt like a regular season game because it was a lot of animosity in there. It was personal and it was real. Before we get into it, make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss anything. Turn your notifications on so you don't miss anything. Sometimes YouTube be acting funny with the notifications like today and last night they were acting funny with it but it is what it is. And leave a like on the video too because that does help out like a whole lot. It really does. Anyway, just get into this game. Starting with the, of course, the Commanders won 29-28. They kicked that last second field goal and poor they was celebrating like crazy. I wasn't mad at them. I wasn't mad at them because you know that saying when two teams will go up against each other and the fans of both teams they talk trash and whatnot but it seems like the game is a lot bigger for one team than another and they'll say, oh, that was your Super Bowl. It actually felt like that. The way they were running around and celebrating and then jumping in the crowd and doing all that stuff all over the field. Okay, I wasn't mad at it, but hey, enjoy what you enjoy. So I ain't mad at it, man. I enjoyed the game, man. I wish it was a different outcome because I appreciated the streak. Like y'all know, I appreciate it, I enjoyed it but now it's over and the Commanders got it. So that's that. But getting into it, the quarterbacks, well Raven's quarterbacks, Josh Johnson. Both Josh Johnson and Anthony Brown, they had good games. Both of their interceptions, in my opinion, like Josh Johnson interception, the one that he threw up to James Proshay. Yeah, the ball could have been placed out a little, it could have been a little higher and it could have been a little further but it was not like it was this bad ball or anything like that. It was not like, oh man, what a terrible throw. Yeah, it wasn't perfect but it still gave James Proshay a good opportunity. And with James Proshay, I thought he's known for making them contested catches. He ain't known for getting separation, anything like that. He's known for having really good hands and making contested catches. And that was a way to display that and unfortunately it just didn't work out. And with James Proshay, we're gonna talk about him a little bit later but it's been crazy, it's just like, it's really crazy how with James Proshay, two pre-season games, the ball coming his way and two big turnovers and crazy stuff too. Like, well, the fumble wasn't so crazy but that interception in the Commander's game was crazy, man. And again, it's just not looking good for James Proshay but we'll talk about him later on another time. But yeah, Josh Johnson, besides that, he had a good game through the touchdown pass to Zay Flowers and we're gonna talk about that a little bit too but yeah, Josh Johnson, he did his thing, man. And while Tyler Huntley was out, both quarterbacks, they look good and they look solid in Tyler Huntley's absence because of course he dealing with that hamstring injury so I think he'll be back this week. That's just my opinion, I don't know nothing. Y'all know I'm an NFL outsider, no sources, no plugs, none of that. So that's just what I think. I think he'll be back this week but we'll see when we see. But yeah, he threw touchdowns to Tyler Wallace and Zay Flowers. Nice touchdowns too. The one that he threw to Zay, it was mostly Zay doing all the work. Then the one that Tyler Wallace sort of that back shoulder throw and another week, another back shoulder touchdown for the catch for Tyler Wallace. Oh, hold up, no, was that a back shoulder? No, no, cause Tyler, Tyler Wallace ran to the end zone and then he turned around, so I guess kinda sorta but either way, whatever it was, it was a beautiful touchdown. I initially thought it was incomplete. I was like, oh that ain't no catch. But then they reviewed it and everybody in the stream was like, oh no, it's confirmed, it's confirmed, it's confirmed. I guess with Tyler Wallace, Tyler Wallace, excuse me, he caught the ball and then he went down to the ground and then got knocked out after. But I guess they were like, oh you know what, he caught the ball and he went down to the ground, touchdown. I didn't think he had full control but hey, I wasn't complaining. So I was like, hey, it's a touchdown, it's a touchdown. I ain't gonna fight you. I ain't gonna fight you. Give it to Tyler Wallace and I really do think Tyler Wallace, he locked up that six-wire receiver spot. It's his, it was his already last week. This week made it his even more. So I mean, yeah, that's a wrap for that. Cause it like, I don't really think there's anything that anybody could do to take it from him. But again, we talk about that another video. But yeah, the quarterbacks, they did their thing. Anthony Brown, when he came in, I know a lot of Ravens fans were scared. A lot of Ravens fans were like, oh, don't throw the game away. And again, the interception that he threw was it was the Hail Mary. So I can't count that as anything. But yeah, he threw them two touchdowns and them two like touchdowns where you gotta believe. You gotta believe, especially the second one that he threw to Vocalek. I wanna make sure I say his name the right way. But yeah, he threw it in traffic and he made a good decision and it paid off, man. He trusted him. He trusted his tight end. So that was good. Now, looking at the running backs. The running backs, Melvin Gordon, he looked better this week than he did last week. I mean, last week, he ain't look bad to me. But this week, he looked better. I think there was one play where he bounced it to the outside. And well, no, it was a toss play to the right. And Phylae Lay, as big as he is, he missed as little as he is Emmanuel Forbes. And Emmanuel Forbes just played it perfectly. He played it perfectly. And he caught Melvin Gordon on that 31 and stopped him in the backfield. But other than that, Melvin Gordon looked solid. Justice Hill, again, same stuff. Justice Hill looked good. He only had a couple of carries, but he looked good with his carries. Keith Mitchell, y'all already know what the deal is with Keith Mitchell. And we were happy to hear that he, the injury that he got just a shoulder stinger, so he should be back any day now. We'll see when he comes back. So that was nice. And we did not see Gus Edwards at all. So I was like, okay, well, all right. So that's that. And as far as Owen Wright got, I didn't even know he had nine carries, he got nine carries for 10 yards. So not his best game. But with Owen Wright, I mean, I feel like the expectations are really low. We know that he's not gonna make the roster. And again, that's no offense to him at all. But it's just J.K. Gus Edwards, Keith Mitchell, Justice Hill, Melvin Gordon all in front of you. Like he's not gonna make the roster. So with Owen Wright, anything that he's doing right now is really just auditioning for practice squads for other teams and whatnot. Even for their active roster, he's just trying to make it on with somebody. So we'll see how that ends up. As far as the receivers tight ends, Charlie Kohler, he had two nice catches, very nice catches. But something that I'm kind of confused about, there's been a lot of discourse on people thinking that Charlie Kohler might not make the roster. I just don't get that. I don't see where or how people see that. Like that's been really weird to me to even hear about that. People are really debating on if Charlie Kohler will make the roster or not. I always felt like Charlie Kohler was a lock. Like he was a lock. They drafted him right next to Isaiah likely. Wasn't he drafted actually before Isaiah likely? I think he was. So like how, that would be crazy to me if he didn't make the roster. But there's no way I see him getting cut like at all. I don't know where people see that at. Or maybe because Vocalek was making them plays and whatnot. He made a really nice catch last week to Josh Johnson threw him a beautiful ball and it was a beautiful catch. But I don't think he's making the roster. Maybe practice squad, Vocalek, that's what I'm talking about right now, but not the active roster for him. So even with his nice plays and whatnot, I don't think he's making the active roster. So anyway, he had those nice catches. Zay flowers, Zay flowers just, he just continues to show like, hey, he got it. He got it. And I was so glad. Like Ravens, they get it. Because I was so glad with Zay flowers, he made them two catches. First one was nice, he made the guy miss. Second one was even better because it ended up being touchdown. But with Zay flowers, after he scored that touchdown, making all the people miss, and showing the speed, showing the acceleration, showing that Shifty is showing all of that good stuff. Ravens ain't playing no more. Ravens, you don't need to play him no more until equal. He has nothing left to prove. He got nothing left to show. He got nothing left to do in the pre-season. Don't play him at all anymore. You don't need to, no need. His pre-season should be over. Thanks Ravens, in advance. Don't play him no more. And it's literally no point, for real. It's no point. It's no point. Oh, Travis Vocalek, that's his name, Travis. So okay, he had three catches, two touchdowns. So he did his thing. We just talked about him. And he looked good. Good hands, good hands. He reminds me of a, like a bigger Pat Ricard. Cause he's like this big, big guy. But he's not the fastest. He ain't gotta be tight end man. But he be catching. He be catching. That same thing with Paracord, Paracord. Hey, Paracord even caught his fans last night too. That little inside slam for the first down, I think, called Paracord, Paracord caught it. And he, it's funny when he ran his little route. And you know, Paracord, like that's full back. That's defensive tackle. That's H-back. That's why I received one. That's, that's the dude with all this offensive line and left guard. You know Paracord, but anyway. He, when he ran his route, one of the commander's defenders tried to like brush up on him. He wasn't even fazed by it. He just kept running. Then another one tried to brush up on him. He wasn't even fazed by that. He just kept running. And then things were, John Johnson threw the ball his way for the first down. Boom. And he got it. So, Paracord man, he, he's making sure like, hey, I'm trying to stick around too. Cause again with Paracord, I'm like, I've been in this weird spot with Paracord. Why just, I don't know. I feel like, like, I feel like he's a lot to make the roster. But at the same time, I feel like, there's little chance. There's little chance. And I don't know, especially with them moving him around in all these different positions, but I don't know, man. Justice, oh, Justice, he had a catch. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. It must have been like a dump off. And then he took it. The rest. Dante Demis Jr. He had a catch too. So it was nice to see him get involved. But again, we said it from John, when they signed him, it was going to be really, really, really tough for him to make the roster. Like really, really tough. And right now I think Dante Demis Jr. is unfortunately on the outside looking in. Tyler Wallace only catch of the night was his touchdown against the little find his spot. James Proshay also had a catch. Yeah, Tariq Black, he had a catch too. But yeah, again, with the receivers, it's Tyler Wallace's job. It's Tyler Wallace's job. Just nobody else has stood out. Nobody else. Well, there was a Ryan, but I don't think we saw him last night. I don't remember seeing him at all last night. So, yeah, I just realized that. Yeah, I don't think we see, did he like hurt or something like that? I don't know. Anyway, and yeah, that was it for offense. And defense, oof, defense, yikes, yikes. Defense was, oh boy, where do we start? It was rough. It was very, very rough. They struggled throughout, but at the same time, this was like second and third string players going up against the best of the best with the commanders. They were going up against Terry McClure, going against D'Ammie Brown, going against Curtis Samuel, going against Dodson. They were going against the best of the best. So, for what it's worth, they held it down for the most part, but they just, there was a lot of struggles. Brandon Stevens and Caillou Blue-Kelly. Saw Brandon Stevens first. Brandon Stevens reminds me of, I was just telling my guy this early, he reminds me of Chuck Clark, because it ain't like he's like out of position, like crazy out of position. He'll be right there, but I think he just right now, his struggle is just to finish the play. It's just to finish and make the play on the receiver. I know he's maybe still being in an adjustment period, still making that transition, the corner and whatnot, still getting used to it, because he's been bounced around quite a bit. But he's somebody that the Ravens really like, they really got high hopes for. And you could tell by how much they play him. And you saw this from last year too. Even from when he was first drafted, you saw it. He, they really, really like him a lot. But Brandon Stevens like, I mean, he'll continue to get better with more repetition and just being out there, just getting more opportunities. I'm still curious on how they're gonna use him this year. Well, Caillou Blue-Kelly, that was last night, that's probably the most action I've seen him get. They were picking on him too. They were picking on the rookie. He did make a play toward the end of the game, but a lot, he's getting picked on like a lot. They will continue to go at him over and over and over and over. So he had a rough game. Then even had a play where he'll probably get fine for, but it probably could have been a penalty where the receiver like dropped it and then he came in after and like hit him in the head. So we'll see what happens with that. But yeah, he had overall a rough game. Who else? The pass rush wasn't really much of nothing. Ray Sean Nichols, he had a couple of really nice plays. He helped with the force fumble. And I think he was part of a sack too, I wanna say. I think, I don't completely remember, but defense like last night was all a blur because yeah, it was rough. But again, not the starters, it wasn't the starters. We saw David Ajabo out there a little bit. We haven't really seen much from him, but we also haven't seen him that much. So he ain't tripping off of a job, but a lot of people have been tripping off of Ajabo, saying that he don't look good, saying that he get pushed around, saying this, that. And we'll see, we'll see. I guess I gotta hold out judgment or what not analysis or whatever till regular season. Because I just feel like we haven't seen him out there too much. So we just gotta wait it out when it comes to that. But yeah, man, Raven's defense, they initially they were doing some bending, but not breaking, but then they just started breaking. But again, they were going against starters. So I was happy that the commanders put their starters out there, even though they did lose Terry McClourn, unfortunately, and they said it could be turf though, but they'll know the extent of it later on today. I mean, by the time you see this video, they will have, they will know the extent of it most likely. But with Terry McClourn, that would be a obviously huge blow one of the best receivers in the game. And obviously the best receiver on the commanders. So yeah, and they did say before the game though, it was said that they were going to play their starters for a half. So I know a lot of people were like, oh man, they just playing them so they could beat the Ravens record and whatnot. And hey, that could have been a part of it. That could have been a little extra motivation to leave them out there, but yeah. Travis Jones, he had got some nice push on the interior of that defensive line. But Ravens, they struggled throughout as far as the pass rush. Again, backups versus starters. So, but even against some of the backups, they kind of struggled too. But again, it's just backup. It's just really hard to get a reform because again, it was a lot of backups out there, a lot of depth guys out there, not starters, not the guys who are going to be out there like that, like that come this season. The guys who are going to be out there like that, they were all on the sideline. So again, I can't look too much into it because again, it was preseason, but it was fun. It was fun. This was a fun game. And we only got one more left. And then after that, it's real right there, man. It's real right there. So we'll see how this thing goes, man. But I love y'all team keeping clean. I appreciate y'all. And let's see how these Ravens do now. And I guess watching that last preseason ain't going to be kind of weird, man. Because again, the streak is over. The streak is done. And I wonder if next week, if the starters will play like a series or two, just to sort of like get into it? Or if they just going to be like, you know what? No, starters ain't playing this game. They ain't playing this game. We'll just see y'all boys week one. I would think the Ravens would lean more toward the latter, but you just never know with these guys. Anyway, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all so much. And on that note, we are out.
