 You two team keep it clean. What's going on? It's Aangraven here with another video. And John Hardball just had a presser and boy, he looked dejected. He looked exhausted. And I know they did just come from playing a primetime game, but I don't even think that was the only, I think it's just the way that the game went and the stress of the game. Cause imagine, like we as fans, or a lot of us, we stress over these Ravens games. So just imagine the people that are actually playing, coaching the people that are actually directly involved in the game, all the stresses they go through. So I understood why John Hardball's face was looking the way that it was looking. And also, when you got to be, you got to deliver the bad news. Cause of course, in order to deliver the bad news, you got to receive the bad news. And they received the bad news on Marcus Williams. And he delivered it. And again, it was just pretty much confirming what he said last night. Cause last night, he let it be known. And we talked about this in a post game thoughts video. But John Hardball let it be known last night, like Marcus Williams is going to miss significant time. And again, with the way that Hardball speaks about injuries, for him to say something so direct like that, that's how you know it's extremely bad. It's extremely bad. But there is a silver lining with the whole thing. So they will be putting Marcus Williams on the injured reserve. You're gonna put him on IAR. So he'll have to miss at least the next three games or is it four games? I forget. But I would expect him to miss more. But they did say that it's not season ending, it's not a season ending injury. So how long he's out for? Who knows? Who knows? Hopefully it's not too long. But I mean with Marcus Williams, that's a playmaker. That's a playmaker. So the longer he's out, I mean, you're gonna miss him. But at the same time, you hope that in his absence, guys will step up. I mean, he got no choice but to, right? Yeah, but yeah, Marcus Williams is certainly gonna be missed. He, again, first year with the Ravens, the impact has been huge. It's been huge in a positive way. Hardball talked about how he thinks Marcus Williams heard his wrist on one of the first two series. He said he wasn't sure exactly what you played. But I mean, not that it really matters but because he's out now. But it's just unfortunate, man. And then you feel for him, a young guy entering his prime and he was just looking to prove himself. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can get this thing done. I did my thing with the Saints. With the Saints, it was kind of up and down. But he was like, all right, I'm getting an opportunity with the Ravens. And it was paying off. His play was paying off for the Ravens and for him in a big way. But now they gotta put that on hold. So what's next? What's next for these Baltimore Ravens in the free safety position, that Roman safety position? What's it gonna be? If we, if this would have been going into week one and even, well, it feels before the season started. And you told me, all right, the roster's pretty much set. If you told me like, all right, in week five, Marcus Williams is gonna be hurt. Again, this is before the season started. If you told me week five, Marcus Williams is gonna be hurt, he's gonna miss a chunk of time, huge amount of time. I'd have been like, oh, okay. That's what they drafted Kyle Hamilton for. The rookie, rookie, you're up. 14th overall pick, number 14. Hey, you're up, it's your time. But it really doesn't seem like it's gonna be that way. Because I mean, to tell him from last night, they went straight to Geno Stone. And Geno Stone is not a bad player by any means. And it seems like, it's with Geno Stone, Geno Stone just ready, man. Geno Stone is the definition of stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. How about talked about it in the presser just a little bit ago, how he said Geno Stone, he always knows the playbook. He always knows the defensive plays and whatnot. And he doesn't expect to play, but he's prepared just in case he has to. And it showed last night and it showed last year as well when he had to step in. I remember Chuck Clark, when the Ravens were playing a hot potato with COVID, Chuck Clark was out. So everybody was like, man, who's gonna wear the green dot? And it ended up being Geno Stone. So, hey, Chuck Clark better hold on to that green dot type, baby, because hey, Geno Stone ready to take it over. But now Geno Stone, I expect him to do well, man. I really do. I expect him to do a good job. And I'm not just saying that because I hope he does good, but I expect him to step in and do good because he's done it before. It's not like they're throwing him, excuse me, they're throwing him into the fire. And it's like, oh man, I've never been here before. I've never experienced this before. What am I gonna do? I ain't expecting him to be Marcus Williams, but I expect him to be Geno Stone, somebody that can come in, make tackles, make plays as well and do his thing. So while there could be some drop-off from Marcus Williams to Geno Stone, I think the safety play will still be good. But with Kyle Hamilton, his usage has just been, it's been really weird to me, man. It's been really weird to me. Because again, this is a number 14 overall pick, like your first round draft pick. You are a pretty defensive team, I would say. And you got a first round pick that he just doesn't give me that, he doesn't give that much playing time. And see, the thing that's even more confusing about it is they drafted him after they had already signed Marcus Williams, obviously kept Chuck Clark, brought back Geno Stone, still had Brandon Stevens, Ardarius Washington was still around. They drafted him after the fact that they had a bunch of safeties already. So I'm just, I've just been confused on his usage, his limited usage, because y'all know me, I had said it all off season. Once they drafted him, oh yeah, he gonna be out there a lot. He is going to be out there a whole lot. First round pick and a defensive play, oh yeah. For the Ravens, oh yeah, he gonna be out there a lot. No, but no. So we'll see how things progress as the season goes along and it could just be one of those things. They just easing them in. They don't want to rush anything. But again, at the same time, normally with first round pick, it's like, boom, all right, you're up. Especially if, even with the quarterback position, but even a lot of times other than quarterback position, usually first round pick, oh yeah, you in there right away with a running back, wide receiver, tight end, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, cornerback, safety, lineback, all that stuff. Usually you will insert it right away. But Ravens are like, oh no, no, no, no, no. And Kyle Hamilton, he was a luxury pick. He was a luxury pick. So we'll see, we'll see what they do. I know a lot of people have questioned like, man, and been thinking about, especially with the lack of usage of Kyle Hamilton, they've been thinking, man, Ravens could have, they could have went so many different other ways when it came to the draft and got somebody that they will be using a lot more. But that's the past. That's over with the draft been over with for a long time now. And maybe they could have, but since they went with Kyle Hamilton, it's like, all right, let's get this guy on the field. Let's use them. Let's really put them out there. And you know what's crazy? The Ravens with Brandon Stevens. Cause I was just, I was talking to my guy, JT, a little bit ago, telling us, I ain't really seen Brandon Stevens like that. We said it in the post game thoughts video, I ain't really seen Brandon Stevens like that. But I did see Pepe. So then I looked at the chart, the snap count chart. And it said that Brandon Stevens played like 15 snaps and Pepe played like, I think 45 or 40, so something like that. I was like, whoa, okay. They got the rookie out there. It really had him out there. And I knew I saw him a lot, but I didn't realize I saw him that much and that much more than Brandon Stevens. So they had him out there. But of course he had help around him too because he had a Marlon Humphrey, a Marcus Peters on the outside. And then of course the safety's helping out to Marcus Williams for a little bit, but Chuck Clark and Gino Stone. So he had help. But then you think about what Kyle Hamilton, if you put him out there, he's gonna have help too. They're gonna be one-on-one situations that he gets put in, like how he was matched up with Hayden Hurst and he did a good job. I thought it was a terrible call about the pass and I thought that was a terrible call, and that whole drive just featured terrible call after terrible call after terrible call, but I was just so impressed that the Ravens defense actually, they held up. They held up all through fourth down. Cause I, like I told you, I just expected them to give up a touchdown. Like you give up three and not only you give up three calls, but there's three bad calls, three terrible calls that go against you. And then the Bengals offense is right there on a goal line. It's all right, I can't be mad at you if you don't hold them out of the end zone. I expect you them to get in there, but no, they held their own and they stopped them. And again, Bengals did get super cute with the end around and that just, that was just silly, man. That was silly, but shout out to Marcus Peters for being all over that. But anyway, but yeah, like they did with the Marion Williams with Pepe, with Kyle Hamilton, I mean, I would have expected a lot of the same stuff, but we just haven't seen them too much. So again, we'll see how the season goes. Now he, I would expect him to be out there a little more, a little more, but probably not too much more because while initially I'd be like, all right, Marcus Williams is out. So everybody on a depth chart, they move up, but it seems as if Marcus Williams being now Geno Stone leapfrog Marcus Williams. I mean, excuse me, leapfrog Kyle Hamilton. And now he's that guy starting at free safety and Kyle Hamilton is still exactly where he was before. So again, it's just one of those things we'll wait, see how it goes, see what happens. But it's going to be interesting to see the Ravens usage of not only Kyle Hamilton, but the rest of their safeties as well. So unfortunately, unfortunately again, injuries change everything. The injuries are terrible. They are the worst part about football. Like we always say, hate them. But again, Ravens, they got to get right back to it with that saying, next man up, next man up. And it is a saying that me, I can't speak for all Ravens fans, but I know I am tired of hearing that saying because that saying comes with injuries and significant injuries too. But Ravens got to deal with it. Just like everybody else in the league, they got to deal with the injuries, Ravens certainly got to deal with injuries. Sometimes it seems like they deal with injuries a little bit more than everybody else, but who knows. But anyway, love y'all team, keep it clean, appreciate y'all. And just like Marcus Williams is for who knows how long we out.
