 and foremost the obvious hope would be that Ravens starting quarterback Lamar Jackson he's healthy and he comes back and he plays against the Cleveland Browns but since we all know that's not gonna happen this week you would hope for the next best thing and that is that Tyler Huntley who is Ravens backup quarterback who's Ravens number two quarterback who wears number two that he would be healthy enough to go against these Cleveland Browns and start for the Ravens this upcoming Saturday not Sunday Saturday at 4 30 p.m. Eastern time don't forget and all signs are looking like it's gonna be Tyler Huntley now just to take you back a week we remember when against the Steelers Tyler Huntley was knocked out of the game in the third quarter big hit by Minkin Fitzpatrick that ended his game a little bit early went to the medical tent then he ended up going to the locker room never returned but Tyler Huntley so it was a little iffy his status in this next game was iffy I was I didn't think he was gonna play in and I thought it's gonna be Anthony Brown but it's looking like Tyler Huntley may actually be good to go now on Tuesday the Ravens did a walkthrough practice so nothing physical anything like that and in the walkthrough practice like we spoke about yesterday Tyler Huntley was a limited participant so he was there he was present but when they do a walkthrough practice and they give you the injury status and injury designation it's more of an estimation like say for instance if it was a game that day even though it wasn't a game that day and if they had a real practice that day more so if it was a real practice that day then that would have been his status he would have been limited in practice but it wasn't a real practice but they still gotta give you the the designation for the injury anyway but Wednesday when they did have their first real practice Tyler Huntley was a full full 100 complete participant he was not limited at all like he was on Tuesday but he was a full participant so that is a great sign for the Ravens uh this coming Saturday uh that so it's it's looking like Tyler Huntley is going to be good to go especially because if he's coming off a concussion and then hopefully again the Ravens are playing this safe hopefully the concussion hopefully they just took him out the game because maybe he showed some signs or something but but minor signs and it wasn't anything crazy because I wouldn't think that the Ravens would rush Tyler Huntley back from a concussion I mean I would hope not hope that they wouldn't rush anybody anybody back from a concussion but it's looking like he's gonna be good to go because I wouldn't expect him to go from a walk through practice to be limited a walk through practice to a full participant in a Wednesday practice and then his status go down from there now it's looking like all signs are pointing up in a positive way for Tyler Huntley and this this is uh this is gonna be a tough game too it's gonna be a tough game because while the Browns have been struggling they've really been looking good and we know Deshaun Watson he's back as well um the Browns this is still Ravens versus Browns it's still a division game and Ravens they're sitting there three you know in the division right now like they they beat the Steelers they beat the Browns early and they beat the Bengals and of course they gotta play uh those three teams once again in these last couple of weeks of the season but Ravens are like they're in a real good position right now in the AFC North and I mean really in the AFC overall uh with their standings I think what are they still right right now like the third seed and that's crazy yeah that that is crazy to think about that like Ravens sitting that high after everything that they've been through after all just the issues that they got on the team for them to be sitting where they at that's a beautiful thing um and when you and you are sitting pretty like that especially at this point in the season this is December football it could make you do some questionable things it can make you really uh put pressure on yourself to to rush some injured guys back if they're not all the way um but with Tyler Huntley again you hope that there are no setbacks there are no issues and I mean so far so good uh and I expect the rest of the week to play out just so uh with Tyler Huntley getting the start because another thing too I um I will definitely expect Tyler Huntley to start because if the Ravens had any doubt of him starting then it would be foolish in my opinion to have him out there taking the starting practice reps if he wasn't even gonna start if that was a case if he wasn't gonna start then you would want to have uh Anthony Brown out there uh taking the reps with the with the starters because so he can get more acclimated with them he can get more used to them he could start to build up as much chemistry as he possibly can because it would be counterproductive if Tyler Huntley wasn't starting it would be counterproductive to have him out there taking the reps as a starter just wouldn't make any sense at all so um yeah it's Tyler Huntley he's probably gonna be good to go uh so this is good news this is good news it's always nice uh getting good news from an injury standpoint when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens because again I gotta go back to last year we we didn't get much good news from these Ravens last year when it came to injuries and again literally every single week it was something it was somebody it was some issue every single week without fail y'all remember the injury reports y'all remember how long they were there's like a whole roster full of injuries it was just so bad but this year it's been a beautiful change because this year almost every week we hear news about somebody coming back we hear news about somebody making a return we hear news about somebody getting healthy and then on top of that like we we got guys that are apparently healthy and we're still waiting on them to play they didn't even play yet because guys like uh Charlie Colo who had the um I think the hernia surgery so that took him out for a little while that slowed down his rookie season and we've still been waiting on him to make his debut but I mean Ravens they they pretty much set it tight and they got Mark Andrews they got likely they got Josh Oliver who's been a pleasant surprise um Nick Boyle they I mean they have him but do they really have him because they don't know what the the whole status is with him it's been weird it's been really weird with Nick Boyle this season how they been using him but really not using him and just it's been super weird um so is there really a place for Charlie Colo um I don't know uh but so we'll see and as far as David Ajabo that's another one that Ravens second round pick who tore his Achilles in his pro at his pro day uh we've still been waiting on him and again he's been practicing he's been practicing for a long time they got had him on an active roster got him on there uh they just been they haven't activated him for a game yet he hasn't made his debut yet um and I almost feel like and I did say before the season even started I did say anything that the Ravens get out of David Ajabo this year it's a bonus it's it's an added bonus um but I feel like with him being on the active roster whenever he does make his debut if he does make his debut this year if he does end up playing this year I feel like every week that passes I feel like it's like more and more like pressure almost I feel like it's pressure like building up because it's like especially by fans more so because they're just waiting and wondering like okay when is David Ajabo gonna play all right this second round pick David Ajabo is he gonna play this year it's like every week we we wait at 11 30 before the game when the game's at 1 p.m at 11 30 a.m when that uh the roster active inactives comes out we're like all right is this gonna be the week is this gonna be the week that we keep seeing David Ajabo on the inactive list oh okay okay okay but at the same time it's nice to know that with pass rush and this is like so weird to say as a Ravens fan as it suck it's kind of crazy but right now at pass rush the Ravens are actually in a pretty good spot the pass rush has actually they've been producing like and that's crazy because we've known like for years even when they were healthy even the Ravens were healthy pass rush had continued to be an issue a lot it had always been an issue for the longest really ever since ever since Suggs left ever since Suggs left the Ravens pass rush has been a big issue Suggs left it's Darius Smith I know that one stinks too but it's been but right now it's not an issue this year it has been pretty good it's been pretty good and that has been just such a bright spot on this team and they got a lot of bright spots especially on defense defense really been doing their thing they really been holding it down but I mean that's expected because that's where a lot of Ravens investments are but for and for the most part they've been paying off they've been paying off but back to the whole the injuries it's nice to for the Ravens to be in the spot that they're in this year especially because it's like polar opposites it's polar opposites um and then any day now like the Ravens get their guy back Lamar Jackson so we're still waiting on like that's that'd be the ultimate return now I know there's some people thinking that oh well since Lamar he doesn't have a contract yet then he's not going to come back and play for the Ravens this year I've been seeing a lot of people say that I understand why they think that I disagree I don't I don't think that he'll sit out this season uh because of the contract because again he said early on this year he said I'm before the year started a we come to a contract agreement by week one cool if not ain't talking about it no more ain't talking about it no more so why would him sitting out because of the contract that would be contract negotiations that would be that would be part of contract negotiations why would he sit out at this point because he's injured why would he sit out now um as opposed to not as opposed to sitting out for from the beginning of the season I just I don't understand why he would do that now just because he doesn't have a contract are you getting what I'm saying so I don't see him sitting out for the rest of this year um hopefully and I don't think it is but hopefully it's different from last year with his injury because I think last year for with his injury I think I'll say it was like week to week uh and then we never saw him play again um but this this this injury said it's week to week as well but it's supposed to be like a one to three week injury so again we'll see but I think he'll come back especially given the situation like we talked about earlier where the Ravens are sitting at right now they're sitting at nine and four number three in the AFC like come on now like who who would want to I just don't see Lamar wanting to squander this opportunity uh to come back on this Ravens team and hopefully make some noise in the playoffs like why would you know what I'm gonna sit this out no you're gonna want to get out there when you're healthy you're gonna want to get out there and play you're gonna want to get out there and and really try to make something happen with your team with the position that they in especially you got Ronnie Stanley back hopefully he stays back because you know has been with Ronnie Stanley it's like you get him back and it's like yes let's go and then he goes out and you get him back and it's like yes let's then so hopefully Ronnie Stanley be good to go for the rest of the year but for the first time this year um Lamar will have both when he comes back he should have both JK and Gus at was back and that's huge man that's huge especially in the running game because with if you can have you could take pressure alleviate pressure off of your starting quarterback as a runner and have more options in the running game and more quality options in the running game because you got JK you got Gus and you still got Drake too and you got Justice Hill so and then of course Ronnie Stanley that that's another quality option in the running game because he makes the running game what it is when he's out there is I know I see y'all have all seen a statistic where when Ronnie Stanley's out there Ravens produced so much more in the running game so much more um so Lamar could get all those things back oh yeah that that alleviates a lot of pressure off of him and it puts more pressure on defenses because defenses they gotta watch for JK Gus Drake uh for Justice Hill any chances he would get but then they also gotta watch for Lamar and it's just it makes it more dynamic and and that's what you want on offense you want your offense to be as dynamic as it possibly can be so I that's why I just I don't see Lamar sitting out for the rest of this year um just because he don't got a contract to me it doesn't it wouldn't make any sense to me but I can see kind of why some people would think that but I just I don't think that so I would definitely expect him to see him uh in about a week or two uh so yeah so let's see how it goes but anyway team keep it clean I love you all I appreciate y'all so much uh and let's hope Tyler Huntley can get this thing done and they can take care of business against the Browns because if they can like to be to to be sitting at 4 and 0 to to have the possibility of 4 and 0 in the division and that that would mean the worst that you could the worst that you could do would be 4 and 2 the worst that you could do in your division would be 4 and 2 and that ain't bad I mean obviously you want to pull out the broom and you want to sweep your whole division but if the worst that you could do after this game against the Browns if the worst that you could do would be 4 and 2 I think we would take that obviously want to be 6 and 0 obviously um but Ravens can just they can put themselves in a really really really good position they can win this game really really good position and and I mean looking back it's like you think about what could have been what should have been you think about the closeouts you think about the Jaguars game how they dropped it it's like oh drop that game you think about the dolphins game and how they dropped it it's like oh these leagues you think about the Giants game and how they drop it it's like oh but the Bills game they did drop it they did have their their little double-digit lead or whatnot but um the Bills game it was pretty close but they again they did have a lead I think they later were like 17 to 3 at one point um but you think about all that it's like oh man the way that they dropped those games um but again the fact that they're here right now and this is the position that they put themselves in uh they can still make some stuff happen and they can set themselves nicely uh for playoff seeding and whatnot and so yeah so we'll see how it goes man but anyway I appreciate y'all I love y'all and like it's not looking like Tyler Huntley is gonna be this game we out
