 You know what one of my boys takes me after the Ravens lost to the chiefs the other day in the AFC championship and he was watching the video He said man, I'm really sorry for your loss, but that's a fire jacket You got on so shout out to Towson Town Center because everybody be asked me why I got this jacket from I ain't gate keeping It's from Towson Town Center. It's from one of the stores upstairs I do not remember which store it was if I did I would tell you gladly, but anyway Speaking of loss the Baltimore Ravens, of course like we've been talking about ever since it happened It's Wednesday. We still have not gotten over it the Baltimore Ravens They lost to the chiefs and that was devastating It was heartbreaking it was frustrating and it was all these emotions that came with the loss of that game But the Baltimore Ravens while they lost that game They could end up losing even more because every day that passes It seems like they're getting closer and closer to losing Mike McDonald and Mike McDonald is currently their defensive coordinator And he has just done a phenomenal job. He's done a great job And I know y'all have heard us say that a lot y'all have said it a lot yourselves So it's known that Mike McDonald is an amazing defensive coordinator, but Maybe just maybe especially since now the Seahawks they've been interested in him and they've been waiting for him They could have hired some other people they could have went in some other directions But they've been waiting for Mike McDonald to get a chance to interview him And now they're having not the first but their second interview with him today And it's been an interesting turn of events for the Seattle Seahawks with their head coaching search before you get into it So you keep it clean make sure you subscribe to the channel turn notifications off You do not miss not a single Ravens offseason update even though we don't want to be in the offseason yet But we're here and also leave a like on the video because it helps out the channel a ton Y'all been doing that a lot already But keep it up and know that I appreciate y'all big time and also a special shout out to the team Keep it clean patrons question from subscribers coming soon and also shout out to all the team keep it clean channel members I appreciate all y'all extra support now With Mike McDonald like I said, they are interviewing him the Seattle Seahawks are gonna be interviewing him for a second time today Let's just read the report from Tom Pelecero He said the Seahawks are bringing in Ravens defensive coordinator Mike McDonald today for a second interview for their head coaching job Per sources Seattle met with McDonald 30s who's 36 years old on Tuesday in Baltimore Now he's going through the expanded process. They did with other Candidates, so I think he threw that part in just to make us Ravens fans feel a little better like oh They did this with other candidates. They went through the second interview with them, too It don't help us feel any better It don't help me feel any better about the possibility of losing Mike McDonald. I don't lose him now with the Seattle Seahawks Ben Johnson The Detroit Lions offensive coordinator They had had him in for a first interview and then they were gonna have him in for a second Said that they were on the way to Detroit And they were getting ready to meet with him and it's like okay, Ben Johnson getting ready to have a second interview And then he told them nope. No, thanks. I'm staying here in Detroit While they were on the way to go meet with him So you think that that don't add some fuel to their fire on really want to get a higher Done in taking care of that's why I think it's a wrap man I really do it's not official yet But it ain't really looking so good when it comes to Mike McDonald and the Baltimore Ravens that he ends up Of course, we'll be happy for Mike McDonald as a person like cuz you want to see people grow You want to see people take that next step, but again selfishly as a Baltimore Ravens fan You don't want to fix something. That's not broken now one of the big reasons and I can only speak for myself Why I do not want Mike McDonald to go for a couple of different reasons now We know he's not the only defensive coordinator in the world He is not the only person that can make adjustments in the world. He's not but The fact that he does both of those things so well He is a great defensive coordinator and he makes phenomenal adjustments And like he really and he makes adjustments in the clutch moments too with everything's on the line Nine times out of ten Mike McDonald was gonna get it, right? He showed that to us this season. There were some games where it was like, hey, what's going on? But there were not many but another big reason that I do not want Mike McDonald to go anywhere is for a Couple more things one development You think about the development of different players you look at guys like a Kyle Hamilton Look at just how much he's continued to improve from his rookie season Kyle Hamilton and Mike McDonald. They were rookies together because Two years ago. That was Kyle Hamilton's first year and two years ago was Mike McDonald's first year as defensive coordinator They grew together But the thing about Mike McDonald Something that we love seeing is not just what Kyle Hamilton, but with a lot of other guys with Brandon Stevens Look at the emergence of him because we remember a couple years ago. It was looking like Brandon Stevens Oh, okay, the Ravens really like this guy for some reason, but he a little shaky But Mike McDonald made him a really really good quarterback This year he took such a big jump Geno stone Geno stone now I know what Geno stone when he was first drafted a lot of Ravens fans are like, oh man This dude is like he not every but hey, he could cause some turnovers this dude is super super smart He's in the right position. He ain't the fastest, but he knows how to be around that ball and When Geno stone was first with the Ravens even though they ended up cutting them So it obviously hadn't worked out then and of course he did have a lot of comments in front of him and whatnot So it's a different situation But still Geno stone came back Under Mike McDonald and look how good Geno stone did in limited action too because he Obviously he only ended up starting when Marcus Williams went out, but he did a phenomenal job So what Mike McDonald has done and we seen it with other players too. He puts them in positions to have success and He understands his personnel like no other going back. We're not here to bash To bash wink at all wink was cool when wink had the vibes and whatnot But one thing that wink didn't have was a recognition for his personnel He did not realize what players were and were not out there and we saw that time and time again He did not put his players in positions to have success Mike McDonald is the exact opposite and that's why we love him so much and really want him to stick around big time and With Mike McDonald like you just you don't want to lose somebody like that Because again, you see the growth You see these guys taking another step. You see these guys reaching another level and We just we don't want to lose that Mike McDonald just and you think about it You think about all the possible turnover that the Baltimore Ravens could have on both sides of the ball obviously But certainly on the defense. They got a lot of pending free agents And with Mike McDonald as a defensive coordinator Even though they were gonna lose some people there, of course, we're still game some people but Mike McDonald gives you that confidence like a Even though we may lose a Geno stone. We may lose a Patrick Queen We may lose a matter BK. We don't think we're gonna lose him But it's still possible But my point is even though we may lose a good amount of guys that's Calvin or there's your David and Clowney It's plenty of guys that we could lose Mike McDonald gives me confidence that even though we'll lose some of those guys We may get some back too. He gives me plenty of confidence that Ravens defense. They'll be just fine undamned They would they will be a okay under Mike McDonald because he's continuing to learn and this dude 36 years old He's super young. He is extremely young man This guy gets it. He gets it. He he clicks with his players He knows how to change stuff up. He's one of them people if it ain't broke don't fix it. He gets it Again, how many defensive coordinators and again, it's possible. It could have one of the people But how many defensive coordinators could have the number one defense? What they number one and takeaways number one in sex and and all Collectively obviously, um, but how many defensive coordinators could still have the number one defense You were missing Marlon Humphrey. He missed the first four games and he missed like a handful of games throughout the season You never had one of your starting outside linebackers in tires Bowser You missed a die fair way for like what five six games this season You had David a job your second round pick who came in with yet You had David a job. Oh, but he ended up missing most of the season You you've had markets with you're starting free safety first game of the season To unpack all it's looking like he's gonna be done But he of course came back then he missed time then came back so he was shaky all year But so you have all these games where you're missing different guys and then some games toward the end of the season Kyle Hamilton He was a little hurt and what now but thank goodness Ravens got that number one seat He got the rest up but see what I'm saying So you've been missing so many key guys throughout the season at different points at one point or another one game or another some games or another But you were still despite that you were still able to Create and maintain the number one defense in the NFL That's amazing That's why a lot of us don't want Mike McDonald to go because Mike McDonald has shown the Baltimore Ravens and shown us as fans has shown The NFL this such a high level of consistency He showed us this consistency in the regular season and then he went and said oh Regular season was cool, huh? Watch this Texans y'all are not gonna get back. Yeah, CJ straddles on fire. Let's do just do three touchdowns last week What you're not gonna get a single touchdown on us watch this You're not gonna get a single touchdown on this defense. You're not CJ. No, no, you're not you're really not. Oh, I ain't got my number one corner. You're not throwing a single touchdown on us watch You know as a matter of fact CJ straddle that Texans offense. You're not even gonna get past the 25-yard line in four quarters Four quarters of action. You're not gonna get past the 25-yard line. It's crazy, man Then it goes up a notch too because again patching my home's early on a 14 points like that Okay, he got 14 points on us. All right. Watch this. I bet he won't score another one. I Bet I bet he won't get another one. Oh, okay. They got the field goal right before halftime There was some little winky wonky penalties in there, but anyway, all right. They got the field go 17 points. All right, cool Watch this. I bet he won't score another point. I Bet that chief's offense. They will not score another point the whole game And he did that He did that so for him to obviously Be game on in regular season then in postseason to be able to step it up a whole nother notch That says a lot and another thing too Wow, the Baltimore Ravens, they were the number one defense letting sacks and letting takeaways to get get this get this get this How many takeaways did they have in the postseason? They didn't have any They have none CJ straddle them. They did not fumble the ball. They didn't throw any picks Patrick Mahon's in them. They didn't fumble the ball. They didn't throw any picks So they didn't even have any takeaways in the playoff games But even without any takeaways that defense was still this how you know that defense was real Because so many people could think up all the defense or they get a pick That's what they said go they forced to turn the wall They got a takeaway and those are great things to do because you want your defense to force takeaways for sure But the way that you knew this defense was for real Because they went against the best of the best in Patrick Mahon's they went against up and coming CJ Stroud They did not have any takeaways nor interception or nothing But they still played lockdown Well for CJ Stroud the whole game for Patrick Mahon's has second half because of them adjustments He's the best in the game for a reason, but they went against the best and they performed in an excellent way This is why I do not want Mike McDonald going anywhere, but this is why I'm pretty sure Mike McDonald is going
