 man yesterday was a fun day of football um first game that I checked out was the dolphins and bears and that game it just came down to it oh I felt for the bears though because they got okie-dokie at the end because I don't remember what dolphins defended it was but it was a defensive pass interference on Chase Claypool close to the very end of the game but it was a no-call so that was big then on the flip side the Bills and Jets game oh shout out the sauce man that guy is real deal I mean we saw that Ravens fans that he was real deal but he has continued to show like a I was like that in college and I'm like that in the pros now too and then I started I watched some of the Rams and Bucks game but I turned it off because I'm like yeah ain't watching this then apparently Tom Brady and the Bucks they came back then I was watching the Cardinals and Seahawks game for a little bit too then I end up turning that one off as well but I did watch that Titans and Chiefs game and that was a good game very interesting game it's crazy how the Titans they they kept it close and Malik I think I think the whole game he didn't complete a pass to a receiver like the whole game but one of his well not one of his former wide receivers but Titans former wide receiver he was definitely having fun watching that game AJ Brown with all the tweets that he was doing during the game and post game and all that but anyway watching all that football yesterday it was nice it was nice to watch a game and be relaxed it was nice to watch football and just be chill and just be calm without any stress but at the same time it did make me miss all the stress that we get when we watch the Ravens play because a lot of the teams that we saw yesterday we've seen those teams play twice since the Ravens last had a game and it seems like the Ravens and Bucks game was like ages ago it seems like it was just so long ago but now we finally get some Ravens football tonight and one of my biggest expectations in this game tonight is Isaiah likely Isaiah likely because with Isaiah likely last week going into the Bucks game it was a completely different mindset for him for Lamar Jackson and for Greg Roman what I mean when I say that last week Mark Andrews been dealing with an injury last week he didn't practice like at all so with Mark Andrews not practicing he was still questionable leading up to the game and he ended up obviously playing in the first quarter I forget if he played in second quarter now but he didn't finish the game but he started the game and he was involved early like from jump Lamar he was hitting Mark Andrews on that first drive from the very beginning of the game but leading up to the game it was expected that Mark Andrews would be the starter so in Mark Andrews head and Isaiah likely's head and Lamar Jackson's head and in Greg Roman's head Mark Andrews was the starter but now this week I think this week is different because while Mark Andrews didn't practice all of this week it was different because he was listed as doubtful so he was not expected to play in this game and then officially yesterday since he didn't even travel with the team to New Orleans then he's obviously not playing so he was officially ruled out so the mindset of Isaiah likely of Greg Roman of Lamar Jackson it's a completely different mindset going into this game because they know and they've known that Isaiah likely is going to be the starter and last week he had his breakout game of this season and it's a young season it's only a little about halfway in or actually halfway in well I guess technically halfway in will be at half time of this game but y'all get what I'm saying we're right in the middle of the season but Isaiah likely last week he broke out and he broke out as the backup so that's why my expectations for him in this game are a lot higher than they were before because when you know that you're gonna be the guy you know that you're gonna be the starter you know that your number is going to be called it's not an old maybe maybe I get some playtime maybe I get some sn- no no no you will get snaps then that just that changes everything so I'm looking forward to seeing how he does tonight I know Lamar's gonna give him some opportunities and again last week we just saw it get better it started off a little shaky it really did because I remember there was a pass early on where I think the Bucks win zone defense and Isaiah likely he was running across the field and Lamar threw to him but I think he expected Isaiah likely to stop Isaiah likely kept going it was just a miscommunication so I'm glad that that wasn't the end all be all for Isaiah likely last week but now they they can build off of what they did last week and just continue to get even better and that chemistry can continue to build and get even stronger now I was talking to my guy Kevin a little bit ago and he brought up a really good point he said he was rewatching the Bucks game and he said when Mark Andrews went out and Rashad Bateman went out that the Bucks they just they didn't know who to focus on they didn't know who to try to take out the game and I mean that is something that is of significance because we obviously know with Mark Andrews in the game you know Lamar gonna give him his opportunities for sure and Rashad Bateman in the game he gonna get his opportunities too but now with those two out especially Mark Andrews it's like oh well who who's the primary target who's the focus who who's the guy that Lamar Jackson is gonna be getting the ball to and even um what makes it even trickier is with the Marcus Robinson because he even if he does play he may not be 100% and he may be on a limited snap count he may still be dealing with the groin injury we'll see hopefully he'll be good to go hopefully he'll be a full go but that's something to monitor too so this this really and I know a lot of y'all have brought up how with Bateman and Andrews out it's like it's a gift and occurs I mean it's really not a gift it's never a gift when your best play makers are out it's never a gift but it does force the Ravens to open this thing up that much more it opens up the field that might it will forces them to open up the field that much more so guys are really gonna have to step up big time so whether that Devin Duvenay obviously we've been talking about it all leading up to this game how we just want the Ravens to consistently use Devin Duvenay like don't do like you did from the bingles to the Giants game with bingles game you use them like crazy than Giants game it was crickets so this is important that they use him a lot in this game and I do not expect him to be a kick and punt returner in this game I don't because he I would expect and hope that he is relied upon on offense a lot tonight but it's got to be somebody else got to be more than Duvenay so Duvenay likely but somebody else got to bring it to so whether it's the Marcus Robinson the Sean Jackson who we all expect to make his end season debut for the Ravens this week anybody know what happened to Andy Isabella I don't talk to a lot of people and it's the same conversation amongst all of us what happened to Andy Isabella like what what was that whole thing about it's like they signed him and I ain't heard of peep ever since they say like I I heard more about Andy Isabella when there was that little mini not even controversy but that many confusion or whatnot if he was gonna sign it because first it was expected that the Ravens are gonna sign him then he hadn't signed yet then we hadn't heard nothing but then he was on vacation with his girl I think and then he signed with the Ravens officially then we never heard him again never heard anything from him again so will this be a game where he's activated to depending on the markets Robinson will see will Benjamin Victor will Benjamin Victor actually be activated for this game to give the Ravens some more size at the receiving position because Ravens got some speed and they got plenty of speed at the receiving position but they really got size all they receive is a pretty short so we'll see man but as far as the defenses they they won't really know who to focus on because none of the guys that are out there are really the the primary targets for Lamar Jackson this Ravens offense so it's very important that starting from the top down that Ravens take advantage of that they have to so with Greg Roman with the play calling take advantage of it and like really keep the New Orleans Saints defense on their toes they have to rate Ravens all they got a big opportunity here this is a big game Lamar Jackson same thing take advantage of it keep that Saints defense on their toes I think it's very important also tonight running back cuz I don't expect Gus Edwards to play I don't think he'll play cuz get with the hamstring hamstrings to be very tricky but I don't expect him to play I think they should probably should rest him anyway just so he'll be in better shape for the long run if he can go cool great but if he ain't 100% even if he ain't even 85% don't even do it I don't think but it's important with the run game go with the hot hand go with the hot hand and the Ravens they've been doing a better job of doing that this year so that's that's been a big improvement because it's with the Ravens again it's been a lot of little small things that a lot of us feel me in particularly that I feel small things that they can fix here and there to make big leaps and bounds for it so we'll see how they do tonight but yeah man to it should be a good I know it's a lot of Ravens fans out there in New Orleans it's a whole lot man so I know they've been partying all weekend but now hopefully tonight they can have the real party and be having a celebratory party once that clock hits double zeros in the fourth quarter this should be a good game it should be a nice stressful and I mean I'm hoping that it's not I will I would love to see a blowout I don't expect to see a blowout but I would love to see one but we'll see how it goes man we'll see how it goes I know Saints Saints gonna bring it of course any dollar and he he is going to try to bring it we talked about it before Geno stone big game for Geno stone tonight man if I had to choose two people that could have a huge impact on this game tonight one on offense one on defense and and if I had to exclude Lamar Jackson obviously yeah I would say Isaiah likely in Geno stone man likely in stone because their number I think their numbers are gonna be called upon that much more so yeah Jarvis Landry gonna be playing Chris alive hey Michael Thomas he's out for the season but Camara Camaro yeah Ravens got a tough task in front of them tonight but it is something that they can get over like and and yeah I know that the strength of scheduled tweets have been coming out for a while those updates like oh Ravens for weeks now they was oh Ravens don't play a team with a winning record for the rest of the year and I mean yeah that's technically true these teams do play a lot harder than their record indicates so they're not all bad you just again some in been able to finish that much but yeah Ravens it's important that they take advantage man you take advantage you played all the tougher teams so to speak even though the schedule still gonna be tough down the stretch it's still gonna be tough but you played some of the best teams early on this year as far as the Dolphins as far as the Beals you play them early on and you won some you lost some the Giants Wow I guess against those like real real real winning teams Ravens well the Jets too well they played the Flacco Jets not the well Flacco won a game though but anyway Ravens Wow against teams with winning records or Ravens 1 and 3 I think the bingo what are the bingos what are the bingos record right now man let me look at the what's the bingos record cuz um that's a it's not really concerning right now okay bingos are over 500 today five and four so I know they've been rooting heavy for the Saints tonight the Ravens will still be in first in the division I believe but hopefully Ravens don't even make us go through all the confusion they just win tonight so we even got to have that conversation but yeah man Ravens they they showed like they they can hang with anybody they can hang with anybody but what we don't want to see tonight is the self-inflicted wounds I mean we don't want to see New Orleans Ravens with any wounds either but we especially don't want to see the self-inflicted wounds that has been in my opinion one of Ravens biggest issues this season the self-inflicted stuff just hurting themselves the penalties the just the silly stuff last week they seem to really eliminate a lot of that especially in the second half let's just hope it continues team keep it clean I will see you all for the stream later tonight y'all make sure y'all come through I love y'all appreciate y'all and we out
