 Yeah, to team keep it clean. What's going on? Hey yo team wonderkin. What is good as low as low as low Yeah, oh We don't made it man. We don't made it back like we left something. Yeah, cuz we did leave something to audio for the previous recording We go we gonna get started again in a little bit But we literally sat here recorded for 48 minutes. Yes, no audio So we had a running back, but it's all good But we here live from play action soul food. Yes here in Pompano Shout out to Lamar for for allowing this to happen Shout out to the whole staff here play action soul food because they've been better than great And then the food has been better than great They just everything been on point man from top to bottom So base we appreciate that everybody involved with the whole process and but shout out to nitro for a He shot it shot. He said hey I'm gonna record episode in the restaurant Lamar gave him the green light and you hear now So shout out to nitro man. Hey, hey, listen man. I'm loving it. We hear we don't get into sports We don't talk food. We don't talk everything. All right. This is for the Raven flock You feel me and you know what I brought to this too The sounds baby, so we're gonna get this popping. All right, so in okay first question What do you see the Ravens? Ceiling really being for this year and going forward after the signing of one name Lamar Jackson Just Continuity with elevation The reason I use both of those words obviously continuity because they're keeping that quarterback and and that's the most important piece of this whole thing and Moving forward everybody has a clear direction of What's going on with the quarterback because before especially if he would have been on a franchise tag If he would have played this year on a franchise tag, but you never anticipated him doing But if he would have been there would have been like oh man, what's gonna happen with Lamar? What could happen a little more will he be all into it with his head be in the game? But now that the contract is done. It's a wrap. Nobody has to wonder about that. So now With them the Ravens have invested in Lamar in a couple different ways now, which we appreciate great job Ravens Thank you. Shout out CDC. Yeah But with the Ravens having invested in him now They have an opportunity to take this thing to another level Ravens have made several Significant changes this offseason that can really make this a much better football team. They've done it with coaches They've done it with personnel And they've done it with philosophy really so if they can keep on going in this direction I could definitely see elevation for them this season, bro I got a big hope for this season, bro. Big hopes. Let me say this, right? When we look at so far what the Ravens have been able to accomplish in the past they've done it with Very rudimentary passing game. They've done it with a lack of offensive weapons, right? And they've done it with literally working Lamar into the ground, right? So now you're giving Lamar options Like this is why I try to tell people you are capturing the creative mind of the fans Because no longer are we watching that Lamar would have to be Superman aka Clark Kent every Sunday He can have days where he's just like Time to pick out a part, baby. You get a ball. You get a ball. Haha. You get some balls to pause and with that it is it's nice because Obviously Mark Andrews has established himself as one of the best tight ends in the game and that's a wonderful thing That's a beautiful thing. Yeah, but a lot of times with Ravens offense. It was like Mark Andrews or bust You will get some you get some help from some other guys sometimes but consistently it was always Mark Andrews Usually doing his thing and again, that's not a bad thing that he was doing his thing But now you added an Odell Beckham, Jr. Yeah, you added Nelson Aguilore You got Rashad Bateman coming back. You got Devon Duvenay coming back. You added an Odell Beckham, Jr. So now with that and you still you got JK Dobbins coming back and he should be even better this year Since he'll be healthy you have Gus Edwards coming back And he should be even better this year because he'll be healthy You got justice he'll cut like you now you have options you have even more options And when you have more options that makes life easier for everybody It doesn't just have to be alright We'll focus on Mark Andrews take him out the game. He ain't got to worry about nothing no more No, man, you you you got number three you got number seven you you you got so many different people and then Yeah, they're not the order that you got number eight that you got to worry about yes So just in case he decided you know what I feel like taking off You can take off. He's gonna ask the defense. Have you eight yet? Bro, but for real I totally agree with that man when you're looking I was I was actually talking about so one of my previous videos You know it also it takes the burden off of the coaches That's the part people aren't realizing you have a new OC coming in right He's coming in and he's having it that he can have these guys there and use them Not not force-feeding one guy. They don't have to call the best game They don't have to do the most work They could just call Some simple stuff and then they could just spread the ball around instead of saying I have to come up with a perfect play Every single time because if they don't it won't work. Why because they're leaning on Lamar They're leaning on Mark and they're saying it's either you two or oops. Sorry and guess what? I don't see in the foreseeable future of this OC not using JK if he's hot Hmm, right. Okay, that's my point with this It makes the coaching job easier to talent alleviate stress And we all know that stress can make diamonds with stress buzz pipes Pressure buzz pipes and with this stuff right now. We don't need any more pipes busting in Baltimore Yeah, that's a really really good point. It reminds me of I will think about like a teacher If a teacher she has a lot of kids that are failing. Here's her class Yeah, then that teacher could be looked at like a bad teacher Even if that teacher had success at previous schools and whatnot But if she has a lot of students like getting a's and b's and stuff and that teacher's gonna look much better And it's gonna make that teacher's job a lot easier Because she has so many talents and students and they can go on and do different things And then she'll get a lot of credit too and that's like what you were talking about with the coaching staff The more talented players they have it makes their job easier way easier. So, yeah, I like that And that's something that I've been on for for years now. I'm just the Ravens making Not just Lamar's job. Certainly Lamar's job easier But just really making everybody's job easier and they really like air the cost of this off-season Yeah, he has stepped like way out of the box With stuff that he would normally never do he's doing it this year comfort zone. Yeah, wait way out of comfort Yeah, it ain't even close to whatever that comfort zone was before They like they did a distant land beyond that man So, um and part of that was with the Odell Beckham Junior signing because I remember when when they signed Nelson Aguilera, I'm like, all right Nelson Aguilera. They're straight I'm not not the best not the worst, but it can't be it but I was expecting like oh, but these are the Ravens. So Nelson Aguilera, they run the risk of him just being it and then be like, all right, let's run it but I was hoping that it wouldn't be and then Bad what the month later? I think however long it was later We hear talks about them being interested in Odell. We hear oh, they want to sign Odell to a deal We hear they offered Odell a deal. We hear all this stuff. Y'all know me. I was like, oh that we don't see this before It probably ain't gonna happen, but but it did. Yeah, it went down and it didn't only go down, but the Ravens They made it to where there was gonna be no competition Between them and other teams for Odell Beckham Junior. They literally they spent that bread on Odell Yes, like 15 mil guarantee 15 mil guarantee. You like what Ravens Ravens gave that for one year. Yeah I'm like, I remember seeing the terms of the deal and I think like what Ravens are these? Imagine Odell thinking he wasn't gonna get that and the Ravens. Hey 15 million dollars probably they're talking about It just threw me off but I was throwing off in a good way. I'll be happy about it because Hey, it's scared money don't make money and you got a you got to spend money, man Yeah, and hopefully they will get that return on investment But I like that they stepped out there and they went for it because normally that's not something that they would do normally They will play it safe, but with Odell Beckham Junior. It's not safe and let me ask you The last time that that we saw Odell Beckham Junior How did he look they didn't cuz a lot of people say when you talk about Odell Beckham Junior Oh, he's washed he ain't the same. He can't play no more. He's over the hill What how did Odell look the last time that we saw let me tell you how he looked he looked like a Super Bowl champion to me Touchdowns listen if it wasn't for the injury. He was gonna get the Super Bowl MVP That's what it was looking like. He was gonna he was cooking them cooking the bangles. You ever had cat? Odell did so when I look at them I'm like, bro if he could even get back to that and that wasn't even remember he was hurt It came out that he was hurt that entire time and they knew it But he was playing on it if he gets back to even that my god It's a beautiful day and I will be there to laugh at Every opponent as they get ramrodded and run through because what are they gonna be able to do? No, no, seriously, what are they gonna be able to do in if you if when you go into a um, think about this real quick Lamar Jackson's a Lamar Jackson led offense is second Right since he's been in the league only behind Patrick Mahomes That's a Patrick Mahomes with probably the greatest receiving tight end This league has ever seen with the one of the greatest offensive play callers This league has ever seen that part and a multiple times Super Bowl winning. Oh, see Hmm, so when you take all that into consideration and say well a Lamar let offense did all that what he had What is he gonna do when now you can't double mr. Andrews and we all know how people like to play Lamar They like to put somebody down in the box just in case he wants to go off script, right? Where's that safety gonna be you think they're gonna leave Bateman one on one all game you're gonna leave OBJ one on one all game They're gonna leave Zay flowers all game by himself, bro. I am going to enjoy The amount of blowouts you want me to say something to aim with a lot of people that are watching are taking advantage of These Ravens they've been listening to everything You understand what listening means that means paying attention. They've been hearing all of the doubts They've been hearing all the hate they've been hearing all this stuff So what you're getting is you're getting an annoyed and frustrated Lamar, right? You're getting an annoyed frustrated JK You're getting an annoyed frustrated Harbaugh you're getting an annoyed frustrated mark Andrews You're getting an annoyed frustrated Bateman and you're getting a very very spry Zay flowers and a newly Refreshed OBJ bro. It's going to be gangbusters and they're not going to be blowing out teams Regularly remember back in 2019 when they were doing all what he was doing. He threw those 36 touchdowns, right? He was sitting up all those fourth quarters. Yeah, I did the math on this thing. I did the math 2.75 amount of time he missed that season. That's almost three games worth of time that Lamar missed That means you were sitting on the sideline chilling because they were blowing out the opposition Now because y'all been kept talking now because you pissed them off He's gonna try to blow y'all out. So now when he's up by 15 or 20, he's not gonna sit on the sideline with his shades Oh, no that nice Lamar the the happy-go-lucky Lamar you guys ruin that for yourselves You're gonna get pissed off Lamar and he's going to blow y'all out with Mark Andrews Bateman and the company Because they're gonna want to get their numbers also because some of those guys are trying to get their new contracts Like one name of Bateman, right? Oh and OBJ even though he we're paying him He's on a one-year deal So he's technically auditioning for the next team if not for us next season, bro, it's true. I feel sorry for y'all I really do I don't I don't feel sorry for nobody man, especially if the Ravens go off like they should like they got the potential to I don't feel sorry for nobody. What do you think the ceiling is for games? Oh 17 games There's some hiccups here and there with health like with health health is Good, what are you picking bro? I'm looking at straight. What are you picking in? If hell if they healthy with that squad Get give me another corner first. Give me another corner. Well, maybe another two corners Give me give me fit 15 and two Give me 15 and two 15 and two with healthy. Oh, yeah 15 and two Man 15 and two man coming from me. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all don't like he's nice. I ain't with no Oh, yeah Raven Raven Raven. They're gonna be perfect now. Y'all already know. So yeah Give me 15 and two if they healthy and another corner if they're healthy if they're healthy and they get another corner this raven team Will threaten the perfect season They'll have the opportunity to do it. Am I saying it's going to happen? Look at look at think about this thing I want I want to keep it in perspective. I want to keep it. I know you people gonna come for me Oh, no, I chose put an expectation on us To those with the most Expectation is required. You understand what I'm coming from this team is one of the best scoring teams even with Greg Roman even with The lack of weapons and now you're gonna have a roquan That's a full off season a grade shaded into the defensive program You're gonna have all these players Marcus Williams is going to be healthy All these players are going to be healthy All of these players gonna be a great shater with the on-play book All these players aren't some of them are going to be playing for guess what money because what came out today About a certain linebacker that didn't get a fifth-year option picked up. Oh, yeah, that's you see what I'm saying So he's playing so he's not gonna just tackle you no more He's gonna try to blow your face off Bro, listen, I don't usually feel sorry for it for my opponents But I really feel sorry for y'all because if y'all think that they're just gonna say oh y'all wave the white flag And that's all I'm telling you in this team if they can remain healthy and focus this team will be able to threaten a 17 perfect game season and Super Bowl to put the the cherry on top. Well, yeah, that's the most important thing And I'm glad you said the word focus just now because I think that's important. Yeah, because um They people can have all the motivation in the world that they want to yeah They can be as motivated as they can be but if that motivation and that energy It's not channeled the right way Then it's not gonna mean anything and you could be out of control. So it's important that How would how motivated the Ravens can be? Obviously it starts with Lamar Jackson because he's been hurt everything already would continues to hear everything And now with the contract even though it's behind them now It's still gonna be brought up any miss pass, you know, somebody gonna be all we didn't deserve the contract Any interception? Hopefully there will be none. It'd be nice a little perfect season on the section But any interception? Oh, he didn't deserve it any mister Anything that he does, you know how it goes already because that's how it was last year any time you messed up people I don't see he doesn't deserve well anyway He got it. So even this might feel like he don't deserve he got he got his braids He can't even say nothing, but uh, go ahead. Go ahead. I'll say this too for the doubters for the team Cuz I've been hearing a lot of you know stuff coming about, you know The front office and Lamar had to settle and take what was given and stuff like that. Yeah, I know you heard that, right? What other option did the Ravens have? Hear me and hear me well when I say this. Have y'all seen the AFC? Have y'all, hold up. I want y'all to really understand this, right? For as vaunted and as good as everybody's saying that this defense can be Do you think that that defense for four quarters can hold out against Patrick Mahomes? Chiefs Josh Allen? Bills, ooh Justin Herbert. Chargers. Trevor Lawrence. Jaguar. Oh, Jaguars. Yeah, we played him this year too. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers The Jets, yeah. Two attacking the Vola. Adam Dolphins. We played him next year too, and they beat us last time, right? They sure did. Oh, remember the Six Touchdown game? The Six Touchdown game, right? Mm-hmm. Deshaun, um, Deshaun Watson. Oh the Browns. We see them two times a year. Joe Burrell. And we see them two times a year last year three, yeah. Bro, like what are we doing here? There was no alternative. When you have a player at that level, he gives you the best chance to win. And that's even with a lack of absolute weapons that he could depend on in crucial situations. Operative word. Crucial situations. Yeah. Okay, so that's what I'm saying. Well, I wanted to address that because I heard this so bad going through the flock of, oh, you know, and then you heard Steven A come on ESPN and even say, you know, he was smart and you heard, uh, what's his name? I hate bringing up his name, Mike Florio, saying, you know, he wisely took it when you have to understand that, listen, uh, uh, this was a negotiation, right? It's a negotiation. They're gonna, there's gonna be highs, there's gonna be lows. You might, you'll always shoot for the moon, but you shoot high enough that if you fall from the moon, you're still amongst the stars. That's how you do business. But this, this trope, that old, there's to be found without him. That's how the hundred would be able to live a successful war. Yo, get out of here with that. That's lying. Like, bro, be real. What do you think about it? Am I tripping? I like Tyler Huntley. He's cool. And no hate to snoop. Right, right. And he's from over this way too. Yeah. But he's just a different quarterback than Lamar Jackson is. Like you mentioned earlier, Lamar gives the Baltimore Ravens the best chance to win. He gives them their best like, and there've been games too where I think one of the two of the biggest ones that I remember where I just, I was like, no, love the Ravens, but they losing this game for sure. One of them was in 2019 against the Seahawks. I was for sure. I remember always saying, hey, the Ravens, they're gonna lose this game by at least 10. I was obviously wrong. And the Ravens, maybe they even won by 10 or more, but Ravens won that game. I'm like, wow. And then the other game where I felt that way, I think it was the 2021 season. Yeah. It was 2021. I know what you're gonna say. I know exactly what you're gonna say. Against the Chiefs. Yes. I was for sure. Oh, yeah. Love my Ravens, man. Yeah. Love them all, but we're losing this game. Chiefs, like Lamar said, they are kryptonite. They got us. Our team, a lot of our guys are hurt. And I was like, yeah, we're gonna lose this game. Nope. And I'm sure y'all could think of other games too, where you might have felt like, oh, the Ravens gonna lose. And whether the Ravens did lose or not, if the Ravens were right there in it. But with other quarterbacks, those wins don't happen. The games like that don't happen. Exactly. So that's why with Lamar Jackson, it's just, it was of the essence to make sure this thing got done and that they kept him. And, you know, I do really believe that it wasn't just a contract that kept him around, but it was a lot of the other significant moves the Ravens made this offseason and how they made them that really kept him around. There's a couple of things. Obviously with the offensive coordinator, they moved on from Greg Roman and, you know, with the Ravens, I felt like that should have happened a couple years ago. But okay, it took them a little extra time. Sometimes it could be loyal to a fault. It happened. But they did it. They moved on from Greg Roman. They did the mutually pardoned ways with Greg Roman. All right, cool. They also moved on and, you know, whether this was because of the survey that was coming out or just coincidence. Who knows? But they moved on from Steve Saunders. How do you get an F minus? That man got a minus after an F. You don't listen. I don't listen. Yeah, that's lower than lower. Can you imagine coming over to F minus so you're a poor car? I probably did before a couple of times. But they moved on from Steve Saunders. So that was big. Bringing in Todd Munkin. That was big, but also personnel. And Nelson Aguilod, but bringing in Odell Beckham, Jr. in the way they brought in Odell Beckham, Jr. I think these are all things that really show Lamar, like, hey, we we're trying there. We're trying to do better. We're trying to really get this thing going for you. So we got your back. We really going to move in a different direction now. So it seems like the Ravens, their philosophy is headed in a different route. And again, this is something that a lot of us have been talking about for years, but the Ravens are now seeming to pivot. So let's hope that that continues. Oh, and then another thing, too. Obviously, this had this happened after the contract. But when doing the draft, we which direction were the Ravens going to go in? A lot of some people think of receiver. A lot of people think in corner, since they just signed Odell Beckham, Jr. And for them to steal, despite Bateman coming back, despite signing Odell, despite signing Nelson Aguilar, despite Duvenay returning, despite all of that. And then of course, some guys on the practice squad, too, they still took you their first round pick on Zay flowers. They still did. And when I saw that, I was like, OK, especially with him being from Broward, too. I mean, that helps a lot, too. Who does he remind you of before you go any further? Who does he remind you of? No, a lot of people say it's D. Smith, senior. Some people even say Hollywood Brown. But to me, I see Antonio Brown here. He reminds me of A.B. a lot. Oh, my God. If he turns into that, my God, I mean, if he turns into any of the three, we'll be in good hands. Oh, yeah. He is he's explosive. He's obviously a shorter receiver. He's like five, nine, five, 10, but he's lower to the ground. But he's still explosive. He can make plays. He is not afraid to be physical. I remember when I watched him on him, just watching the plays that didn't even go to him, like a running play, he ain't afraid to run up to a corner back and engage, engage with him in blocking. So yeah, he just he's not afraid. He does not play scared, anything like that. And he gets after it. And again, the yak, him being an explosive player, you can never, ever, ever, ever, ever have enough of those. You can never have too many of them. You can't. And the thing with the Ravens too, it's like they have different options in the receiving game because you got an O'Dell Beckham Jr. You got a Rashad Bateman who we really learned about last year in terms of this. And you got a Zay flowers, all who can stretch the field. And they never do what they can too. But you got guys that can stretch the field. But they can also work the underneath stuff as well. So you got options, cause we've seen Bateman do it. You know, Zay flowers can do it. Oh, O'Dell Beckham Jr, he could do it too. So they have options of guys that can beat you in several different ways. And then on top of that, so it's like, if you come out with two receivers, you come out with three receivers, you can't be like, all right, depending on what receiver the Ravens bring out here, then if it's a passing play, it's only gonna be a short pass. Cause this guy, he's only does a short rest and all that. Very good point. You have options. Yeah. And since you got options that push you in such in a much better spot. So that's gonna be nice to see. You know what's crazy? I keep hearing everyone talk about Zay flowers. And I wanted the people that were like, oh, you know, I really wanted Taked out. That was the guy I wanted. But I'll tell you something right now. If Zay flowers can even be half, half of what people are saying he can be, it's gonna be absolutely bombastic to say the least. Because I mean, who are you comparing him to? Steve Smith senior? AB? Bro, and listen, when you look at and you say that you see him in Hollywood, cause you hear that comparison, the only thing that's similar to him in Hollywood is that they're both from down here and they're short and they're fast. That's it. That's where the similarities end. Hollywood has rare, rare top end speed. Another gear that he could take to get on the top of any defense in the NFL. There's not a safety that Hollywood cannot threaten with simply him running directly at them. There is none. Okay. There is none. This guy, he's like scrap, bro. He's like, give me the ball. If the ball's in the air, his mindset is, it's mine. How dare you go for it? Like that's his mindset. And if he could bring, that's almost like a raving mentality in a receiver. We're used to having raving mentality in linebackers, corners, safeties, shout outs to the goats. You feel I'm trying to say, yeah. Bro, but not on, not on wide receiver. If he can translate that, my God. It's, bro, I don't, it's almost, it's like, it's like a drug almost because you're sitting there like, you want, you want to think the most right now, right? But it's like you're trying to force yourself that you can because you don't want to get lost in it. You know what I mean? Like it's almost like, I'm looking at it like, bro, all the ceiling, all this, we're going to be able to do this. We're going to be able to do that. But if you keep thinking like that, it's like, oh, but we still got to pump the brakes because they're still have to, they still have to perform. Yeah. They still have to perform. Yeah, they really do, man. But it's, it is nice to think about it though. It's nice to think about the possibilities of this Raven's offense and really just the team as a whole. Because, and obviously health is wealth. That is a, that's the big, the real deal right there. Health is wealth. And so is Cormbread, Cormbread from Play Action is wealth as well. Yo, I'm not going to lie, this fool is fire, bro. Yeah, it is really good, man. And I don't want to hear no fat jokes, Neva. He ate his food before I did. Hey, y'all can say him about me all day. One thing right now that we don't know about these Ravens, is how they're gonna perform. Both offense and defense. And I mean, you could call that a mystery right now because we just don't know. And I mean, that's also the name of this drink from Play Action Soul Food. It's a mystery drink. And it's really, really, really, really good. I don't know what it is because it's a mystery, but it's really, really good. So we're hoping that the Ravens, their offense and defense, the entire team turns out the same way as their drink. You don't know what it is. You don't know what it's gonna be, but it ends up being great. And when you think about the defense, man, you brought up Roquan Smith, now him having a full offseason. Yes. With Patrick Queen, we'll see if he's here. I would love for him to stay. Even though they declined his fifth year option, you talked about just the motivation that he could possibly be playing with, just to prove to the Ravens, or prove to whoever the next team could be. Like, hey, I'm one of them, man. I'm one of them, and I deserve to get my bread. I can play, y'all know I could ball out, and I'm gonna show you. Now, how are you feeling about the Ravens pass rush? Cause I think that's a big question mark right now. Okay, I think you answered the question already though. Listen bro, I'ma be real with you. Look, hope for the best plan for the worst. You know what I'm saying? Look, we're looking at it from a standpoint of saying, we're hoping some guys come back healthy, right? Right. And we're hoping that the new acquisitions can play and be successful from jump. But there's a big hole that's missing, okay? Kaleis Campbell was the anchor of that line. I don't care what anybody says. You can argue with somebody else. He was the anchor. So can the ship still sail and go where it needs to go? You know what I'm saying? If that anchor is not there. And the pass rush is Justin Houston coming back? Wasn't he our sack leader? Yeah, nine and a half of him. You can all come up. How do you didn't get 10? How you didn't get 10? He was tired too. Listen, hold up, before we go any closer, right? Before we go any further. Can you show them one of the wings, bro? Cause here's the thing. Y'all be thinking I'm tripping, right? Can you show them your wing, bro? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, before we get into that, we're talking about pass rush, but also got concerns for the secondary. Cause one of the terms that people will call a bad secondary, bad corner, they say it's baked chicken. And even though this is not baked chicken, this chicken tenders, they fried. We don't want our secondary to turn in like these. These are really good, but we don't want nobody on our secondary getting fried. So hopefully that goes down. But yes, these are the chicken tenders with fries that are really, really good. And now, when you see this, that's like, that's like the appetizer. Bro, bro, look at this thing. The smothered turkey wings. I don't want to, see, I'm already spilling already. I'm about to spill it all over my phone. But hopefully y'all can see that good. But the smothered turkey wings. Bro. With lima beans and collard greens. It's the size of my face. And rice tubing. They hooked it up, man. They really did. So again, shout out to PlayAction. They came through in a major way. How you get a turkey with that thing, bro? I can't even fit in the plate. I don't know where these turkeys came from, bro. They good, man. Oh God. All the swatts in there got turkeys. I love it though, man. Bro, listen, I know y'all watch and we're having fun being out here, man. Oh my God. We came out, you know, we teamed up on this and they just totally ingratiated us from the time we came in here. Great service, great food. If the food was not good, trust me. As a member of some of the bigger race of human beings, I would tell you it's not good. The food melts in your mouth, bro. Yeah. Hold on. Just so y'all understand that I'm not joking. Cause some, we already ate some of the food. Look at this. Yeah, it's out of there, man. And look at that big wing right there. I couldn't even eat all of it, bro. One plate could feed two people. It's a saving. Bro, man, shout out to Play Action. Great people, great service. Lamar, man, you got something here, man. You need to open one in Maryland, bro. You might need to open one in Vegas too. Man, but not, but for real. You know, being out here, having fun, talking sports, loving it with my man, bro, thanks for being out here, by the way. I mean, you live out here, so there ain't no problem, man. Yeah, look, man, three hours I had to drive to get. Three hours. It was worth it, though. It was worth it, bro. It was worth it. I can't even lie, it was worth it. It's like, opportunity like this don't just happen every day, man. Yeah, man, fun, man. Shout out to you for being dedicated like that to make that little drive down, man. Yeah, man. Don't worry. I'm seeing an old happy day all the way. As long as I'm thinking about them raving on what this office can be. Oh, happy day. I'm, bro, you think I hit that note too. You, I know you are sister, I'll hit that note. Oh, whoopie gold, baby. Oh, yeah. I'll hit that note too. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, I'll hit it, don't play with me. I'm, listen, man, it's man, I'll say this though. The Ravens have done something that they haven't done in a long time since they've drafted Lamar. And they've captured the imagination of the entire fan base in its entirety. Even people doing patrol, we all have names for, you know, doing patrol, purple patrol, you know, the people that fall in between the imagination of the average Raven fan is off the charts right now because people are just imagining what this team could be. And especially when it was announced that he had signed, you know, Mr. Jackson, the record contract and got that out of the way, you know what I mean? It just let us further know like, oh my God, he's here and he's not going nowhere. And you gave him OBJ and now you got Zave Flowers and you still got Bateman and you got Mark Andrews and you got Likely and you got Dobbins and you got Gus and you got Ronnie. Let me tell you something right now. I am, it's almost unfair with the feeling how we're feeling as a fan base because as long as that imagination is running wild, it's hard not to get swept away by it, bro. It's hard not to. It's fair, cause we've been waiting on this for a while. He's like, it's fair. It's fair, man. A lot of this stuff that, yeah, shout out to them. A lot of stuff that they doing now, my opinion, it should have been done years ago, but we are glad that they are taking this route, these steps, especially because it's like the way that they have been doing things, just really playing it very, very safe. It's like, they've been doing that for a while. They've been doing that for years, but had it worked, did it work? No, it hasn't. So why not step out there, try something different, shake it up. I can't even say shake it up a little bit. Shake it up a lot like they did and really put yourself out there, put yourself out there and go for it. So I'm glad they finally doing it. So let's see how it goes. Say except the void years finally. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I know that that scared a lot of people. They like void years, now I don't do void years. No, do the void years. Do the void years. Like, come on, man. What is the future without the present? Like seriously, like if you're always thinking about the future, the present will pass you by. And it has, it had. It had, it almost fully had. You feel what I'm trying to say? Like, and I think that mindset, that's why I said that the ravens are getting out of their own way. Yeah. They're rectifying and they're fixing what needs to be rectified and fixed. And us as a fanbase are related by, because we've been screaming for the top of our lungs for them to do this for years. And they're finally doing it. So that's why everybody's so elated. I'm, look, man, this week has been like Christmas. Could you imagine something like this would happen during Christmas? We wouldn't even need presents. This would have been the perfect present underneath the tree. This is, I mean, think of, it's so, what were you doing when you heard that the news came through? It's like, oh, the ravens just got OBJ. And later on, a couple of weeks later, the ravens just signed Lamar Jackson. What was I doing when they signed Odell Beckham? You know, I really don't even remember, but whatever I was doing, I was getting home to record that video because I was hyped about it. I was happy because I just, I really did not think, you know what, as a matter of fact, I think I was home already because actually, yeah, yeah, okay, I remember now, because that same morning, I had actually already recorded a video and I talked about how I just, I thought the chances of them signing Odell Beckham Jr. were not likely. Literally that same morning, okay, I'm glad you asked because it's bringing it up to my memory. Because I just, I did not see it happening at all. Couple of hours later, boom, yeah, and you know what? I know with some people, what do you say? If you're loud and wrong, then what did you say? If you're loud and wrong, then your apology better be equally as loud. Oh, there we go. So that was, I was happy to be loud and wrong. I was very happy to be loud and wrong about that. I was happy to be loud and wrong about that. I was happy to be loud and wrong about them re-signing Lamar Jackson because y'all remember earlier this off-season, I didn't think it was gonna happen. But when they signed Odell Beckham Jr., that's when my mind changed on that. But still, so I'm glad to have been wrong about those two things. Like even somebody, I think I've seen it in another video, somebody had a message me and they were like, oh, see, you were wrong about Lamar Jackson. Like, oh. Happily, yeah, I'm great. Happily wrong. Like, sit down. You think I'm gonna get upset about that? No problem, hey, I'm glad to be wrong about that. Yeah, like, who wants to be right about that? Oh, he's going somewhere else. No one wants to be right about that? Yeah, so I'm just glad that that worked out because that was obviously huge. And that could have been a very, very big distraction if it going on another season. So I'm glad that that's squared away. We don't have to worry about the ifs, the maybes, the what could be's, the way he could possibly end up. That's done, that's it. So, yeah, Lamar, so with him being locked in, that can help lock the team in and things could just move forward, man. Bro, after it happened, I remember watching his draft video again. Someone that posted his draft video and it was just like, I'm a rev, it's on. And I remember him asking, you know, Lamar, like, well, what are they gonna get? They're gonna get everything out of me. They're gonna get a Super Bowl out of me. And you could see, listen, let me tell you something. You could always tell, cause y'all not from, some people are not from Florida, right? I lived here the majority of my life. When you see someone look at you sideways and they bite that bottom lip as a man, either they're about to do something to you or they're pissed off, right? I'll tell you this right now. When he said the words, believe that, when he was biting up, believe that, he meant it. And now we have an invigorated QB. We have a new offensive coordinator, right? Who I'm praying to all the heavens above will just call these games and just diversify the passing game, uplift the passing game. And we have the weapons that he has. I mean, truthfully, honestly speaking, the year he led the league in passing touchdowns, Hollywood was hobbled. He was hobbled. We're getting Zay, we're getting bait. We're getting all these guys broke. I really think the Scott, with this team, as constructed right now, and mind you, I do want Marcus Peters back. I'll see if we get him back. Wouldn't have no problem with that. The Super Bowl, it could really be a reality for us, man. It could be, it really could be. And that would be really nice to, obviously, I mean, winning a Super Bowl is the best. I'm gonna be there. That would be great. I don't know if I would be there. I would like to. I'll drop in with a parachute. Oh, I'm gonna. And you would drop out in handcuffs, too. So, but it is. Like freeze! I'm like, no! Yeah, I mean, that's obviously the ultimate goal. But this offseason, it's really seemed like the Ravens are trying to obtain that goal. Because in past offseasons, it seemed like, they're like, okay, if a Super Bowl happens, okay, cool. But this offseason, again, they've been stepping out, like you mentioned, stepping out of their comfort zone. Yes. It seemed like they really going after it. You know what, take it a step further. They're embracing expectation, expectation, bro. A lot of times, and look, y'all watching this, you tell me if I'm wrong in the comments. The Ravens have ingratiated, have built, have ingrained the idea of being the underdog into everything that we do. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything. We get it out of the mud. We get it. You don't see us coming. You get our coming from. And now with them doing what they're doing now, it's the, the yellow signals, all the bright lights are flashing over Baltimore. This is not the way the Baltimore Ravens usually like to come at people. They like to be the underdog, okay? They don't like to be the hunted. They like to be the hunter. But when they made these moves, I see this right now in, they're being hunted now. Because expectation is now been placed at the foot of one named John Arbaugh. Cause just like how some of you can notice, we're hoping that these players pan out, right? We're hoping everybody pans out. Everyone can stay healthy. But here's the kicker. If these players play well and they're panning out and injuries aren't happening, what's going to be the excuse for Mr. Harbaugh if we don't get the job done? Because you know it's going to fall at his feet. That's a really, really good point. Yeah. You got your quarterback. Yeah. That's some weapons now. And it obviously all just depends. It's not a black and white type of thing. It's not a, it all just depends on how everything comes together and hopefully doesn't fall apart. So yeah, that's going to be something worth watching. I mean, as it always is because coaching plays a big role in everything. Obviously everything starts at the top with the ownership, GM coaching and it trickles down to the players too as far as execution and everything. So hopefully this year the message is from the top like, hey, we want to win. So it's the Super Bowl. Now we just want to win 10 games, 11, no, no, no. We want to win the Super Bowl. Cause if that's the message that's being conveyed from the top, it has to start at the top. Yeah. And then go down, then it'll just, it can make the team that much better. Listen, man, I'm just praying for the best. I'm just praying for the best because man, this is the year. This is the year. This is the year for them to get it done. And with everything that has, Lamar's going to have the most weapons of his career. This might be the best offensive unit our boss ever had at his disposal during his tenure as a Baltimore Raven coach. Monk in already having success at Georgia coming in with these type of weapons. Come on now, man. Listen, this is the year, man. This is the year I want to see eight and those guys holding that Lombardi and grinning at every person that was a naysayer. Listen, man, that's all I want to see. I want to see it, man. I want to see it. Yeah, that would be lovely, man. That would be obviously the perfect way to a season, to end the season, to the football season. They're heading to the off season. That's like, imagine that feeling. It's been a long time. Since 2013, that was the last year that we went into the off season. Like, oh man, like they even just won the Super Bowl. Yeah, it felt good. And when I tell people, like, man, Raven's won the Super Bowl, I'm good for like five years, man. I'm straight, man. Because they won it. Well, I mean, it would be even better if they could be like the Chiefs or even the Patriots and stuff would be spoiled and two Super Bowls would end. Four years, four, five years. But if Zay turns into it, they can be. If Zay turns into what you and a lot of people think he is, even what I'm hoping he could be, they could be, bro. This could be the making, we could literally be watching the making of a dynasty. And that in itself should frighten all the other NFL teams. Cause then what were you going to say? What are you going to say? Come on now, man. And then people might come here just to win one for Chief. We might end up getting some guys that are still superstars on the downturn of the career that really want that ring. You know how it goes. That's what that Patriot Chiefs sort of said to me. That would be something. Cause I know guys have done that in the past on defense. But would they flip it? Imagine that on offense. That's what I'm saying. Oh, bro, it got me feeling light. Oh, bro. So yeah, that would be different, man. That would be, yeah, man. That would be different. Something that we definitely not used to. But again, all of the stuff that's been going on, we ain't used to, but we will gladly take it. Very much so. So anyway, appreciate y'all watching. Appreciate y'all coming through.
