 You too team keep it clean. What's going on is saying graven here with another video We've been streaming a lot more than usual recently, man, but I just I just been in a streaming mood, but anyway Seeing graven here with another video and in this video Some of y'all not gonna like this video. I can already tell some people get too sensitive though I can been tell that but anyway, um What we're gonna talk about in this video is is some real stuff and usually People don't like hearing real stuff. They rather stuff be sugar-coated. Well, guess what it's ain't a place for you If you like stuff sugar-coated now You see the title of the video It says the real reason that the Ravens Drafted Lamar Jackson and also the real reason the Ravens have lowered the concession prices at M&T Bank Stadium and for those of you that don't know where M&T Bank Stadium is That is the Ravens home stadium located in Baltimore, Maryland. So shout out to the Ravens Ah, I really want to go there this year. I don't know if it's gonna happen yet, but anyway Before we get into this, let me introduce myself. Me.

So What's the real reason After Lamar Jackson and the real reason that the Ravens are lowering their ticket prices I mean not the ticket prices. Excuse me the concession stand prices So like for beer for hot dogs for food for chicken tenders. I know my cousin he oh He used to love going to the games just to get those chicken tenders. So shout out to him What's the real reason they're doing that? Why would they do that? Why now? What's the point? Well? Let's let's take let's take you back. Let's take you back 2015 was The year before 2015 2014 we had Steve Smith senior We made the playoffs man Team made the playoffs made it to the division around and end up losing to New England because we couldn't close it out Defense couldn't hold it offense was going off 2015 just everybody and their moms on the roster got hurt that year Everybody got hurt. So what was the record? I think we went like 5 and 11 Definitely didn't make the playoffs didn't even come close. That was the first season and literally forever That season was done usually Ravens They don't know that they won't be in the playoffs until after the last game of the let of the after the last game of The season they usually right there in the thick of things till the very end But not 2015 they didn't make the playoffs. So then followed up the next year They came out Offense was just poor Offense was garbage and everybody that's coming through. I appreciate y'all. Sorry. I can't I can't look at it I can't look at the comments right now because I'm driving and it's raining too. It's a little wet outside Been nasty weather, but anyway Followed that up by 2016 They came out Offense was just ugly. It was an ugly thing to watch ugly nasty disgusting Any of the worst words you could use to describe somebody offence That's what the Ravens offense was and they were that way all season long pretty much What happened or the defense was decent and special teams was great as it always is but Defense did his thing offense was just poor so then They didn't make the playoffs. I think they went 8 and 8 we went 8 and 8 right 2016 so then 2017 this past football season again offense Terrible just ugly disgusting Garbage for the first half of the season just nasty man. It's nasty Defense did his thing defense was showing out offense though couldn't hold up the end of the bargain Special teams did that thing of course, but offense. They couldn't do it. They didn't do it. It was terrible. They sucked So what happened? The second half of the season the offense woke up, but it was too little too late. It was too little too late and again 9 and 7 but the The common denominator is missing the playoffs three years in a row Why are we missing the playoffs three years in a row? offense Offense offense offense some people want to say oh defense couldn't close it out Which they didn't the defense in the in the most crucial moments of the season two years straight actually three three success three Losing season straight the defense didn't close that close out there into the bargain But the reason that it had to be on a defense was because the offense couldn't hold up there into the bargain all year Defense will usually do his thing throughout the year, but offense couldn't hold it out We look at last year obviously bingles game 4th and 12th Even though the offense was a little up and down a game But we had some drop passes shout out to Chris Moore that picked six I was watching that game the other day But either way offense didn't hold up the end of the bargain with that and then the defense they were forced to try to have to close it out and They couldn't do it the fourth and 12 we all already know that so then the year before that We know the the Steelers game December 25th Tonya the offense. They were scoring points. They were moving the ball Defense had a chance to close it out They couldn't stop Antonio Brown three people couldn't stop one Antonio Brown and Then the last successful the last non losing season before that Was 2014 where we actually in the playoffs offense goes into New England scores 14 points is up 14 Zero on New England defense gives New England 14 more points. Then the offense goes up 2814 on New England in New England Flacco was going off-season. Everybody was doing that thing. They would go up 28 14 on New England in New England But then the defense couldn't close it out but That's the story of our lives So what what is my point? What does this all have to do with Lamar Jackson being drafted with the with the Ravens lowering the The the prices of the concessions and make sure y'all leave a like on the video to even though some of y'all not gonna like this But what does that all have to do with those two things? What what does Lamar Jackson and lowering The the concession prices have to do with each other like Lamar Jackson is not out there selling food He's not out there He's not out there with the fans sitting in the sitting in the bleachers and whatnot. That's not him He's a player. He's a player but with the Ravens having found ways to lose and found ways not to be in the playoffs it seems as if it's a result of Failure and The part of the team that the biggest failure is coming from is Offense right now the NFL is geared toward offense the rules favor the offense the penalties favor the offense Everything favors the offense everything favors the offense So with that being said the Ravens The way that they draft the way that Ozzy Newsom has been running the team The way that everything has been going with the Ravens organization for the longest They're still in defense mode They are way behind the eight ball with this whole organization. They still in defense mode They haven't been focusing on offense like that So guess what that does? If you're not doing what everybody else is doing if you're not up to par with everybody else in the league if your team is stuck behind Back in the the 1990s and early 2000s if your team is still living off of that Oh, it's a defensive life and everybody else just got to get used to it It ain't gonna work and what's that gonna do especially if your team's not winning and you're still Living in that defensive type of culture. What's that gonna do? You're gonna you're gonna You're gonna have fans Going the exact opposite way of your team. You're gonna be losing fans You're gonna be losing people that actually support your team and trust me the Ravens have lost plenty of fans and What do the fans do for the Ravens? What do the fans do for the Ravens organize the other ones that go to the games? Well, the fans are the ones at the games that buy are the food by the beer The fans are the ones that buy the merchandise The fans are the ones that'll put money toward the Ravens and any and everything that the Ravens do why? Because they enjoy their team and they enjoy having a successful team. They enjoy watching their team They enjoy supporting their team But if their team continues to put out such a bad product at least on offense if that team continues to fail So much season after season after season then it's gonna be less people supporting the team It's gonna be less people putting money toward the team It's gonna be people that are not attracted to the team and it's gonna be people that are like, you know what? I ain't even dealing with these dudes because they they let me down. They let me down they let me down so The Ravens are losing fans. They losing fans and they losing business They losing fans and losing business Because and a part of it is because Ravens fans are spoiled and we have been for the longest because we were so used so Used to success But now that we don't have it anymore They losing fans they losing fans. Wow. Look at this weather outside but So what do you do to fix that? Well, and it showed the most that it showed was in the last two games last year mainly the last game of the season Look at that bingles Ravens game Look at the highlights and I'm not even I don't even want you to watch the game itself You don't have to look at the highlights of the actual game and the players that were happening Look in the stands This is the very last game of the season and if your team gets in if your team wins this game They get in the playoffs if your team wins this game They get in the playoffs. No, it ain't no excuse that it was too cold Look at Packers Packers Stadium always packed It's way colder up there in Green Bay, Wisconsin than it is in Baltimore And I know that game was super cold in Baltimore, but that ain't no excuse Because if if somebody's a fan of the game They love their team that they're throwing on a jet and they really love their team. It's playoff time. It's playoff atmosphere Oh, they're gonna throw on about 10 or 12 hoodies throwing about 16 pairs of socks There's a gloves and go out there and watch the team play But if you look at the highlights of that game that game was so Empty so empty Why? Because Ravens fans they They're not supporting that they don't even care if it's the last game of the season and that's the season to get into the playoffs and that's because they the Ravens put such a bad product out there low expectations for the offense now just because of what we've gotten over the years and especially because of where the NFL is right now as a Company the offense offense offense offense offense everything favors the offense, but again, like I said the Ravens They don't invest any money in the offense and they don't invent. There's no excitement in the offense Thank goodness for Alex Collins because without Alex Collins There literally would have been no excitement in this offense last year Mike Wallace here and there but Consistently Alice Collins was the only thing we got to look forward to and we knew he was gonna make something happen every single week That was it that was it Alice Collins had we not got Alex Collins? I guarantee that we would have had a losing season last year guarantee That nine and seven last year. We ain't no way. We would have been nine and seven without Alex Collins. No way Impossible it was impossible. No way. No way But anyway You're losing fans. You're losing money. You're losing business So what do you got to do? You got to resort to all options, man so What did Ravens do? Oh Ravens start teasing that they interested in this guy named Lamar Jackson before the draft They start teasing it and I know Ravens They I know they they see the clicks on the different on their different articles and stuff I know watch all that stuff because that's all part of the business You have to see what fans are interested in no matter what type of business in the business it is You have to know what the people who are supporting your business what they like because that's what drives your business and With the Ravens if they put out articles They know the reporters putting out stuff about oh we're interested in Lamar Jackson. They like huh? First I know some Ravens fans didn't really believe it. They thought it was all the show But then what did the Ravens do they signed RG 3 they signed RG 3 and Then I know my boy ghetto vegan. I know a speedy-reedy 1218 she mentioned it to and there were some other people that mentioned it to not too many But there were a few but I know those two specifically They mentioned how signing RG 3 could actually Help he could help develop Lamar Jackson and of course we got Marty who worked with Vic. We got Rick Is it Rick Denison? I forget his name Whoever the assistant head coach is whatever his name is who worked with Kylan Kaepernick, I believe So we got guys on a team who have worked with Supermobile quarterbacks before and Not just Supermobile quarterbacks, but quarterbacks that change the game. Oh Greg Roman. Okay, appreciate it. Thank you Rick Denison is gone. Thank you appreciate that a lot. See that's I knew I forgot So we got guys that have worked with with extremely With game-changing quarterbacks Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick They were game changers at the quarterback position whether you like them or not this and truck this video ain't about politics So whether you like them or not? I don't care You can't you have got to admit and even if you don't admit it even if you don't admit it out loud You know that those two change the game at quarterback. Those two were dynamic at quarterback Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick and they they were so fun to watch Like I said, whether you like them or not and whether you want to admit it or not, you know deep down inside They change the game both of them both of them but with With us having coordinators that have worked with both of those guys It kind of sort of started this whole wait a minute. Maybe Maybe this Lamar Jackson thing might be true So that was the first seed that got planted. So then what happened? They drafted them Did you oh, yeah, James Urban too appreciate that Maurice. Thank you Thank you. So oh excuse me. So now Where are we? They end up drafting Lamar Jackson. So now it's like wow Ravens actually really drafted Lamar Jackson So is it a move to help improve the offense? Oh, yeah, it definitely could be But I think it's also it's also a move to improve business-wise Again, you know that your offense has been lacking your offense has been a weak weak point so now You draft the quarterback That's completely not non-conventional not your traditional quarterback all that blah blah blah stuff and And Somebody that's completely not what the Ravens organization is used to but again The most is change It's change change has to happen and for your business to grow You can't keep doing the same thing over like I know I'm sure y'all heard the same Insanity is the definition of doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results So if Ravens kept if Ravens kept putting that same stale offense out on the field over and over and over That's what they've been doing. Look at the past three years That offense has been stale For the most part no last year they picked it up But the offense has been so it's been stale for the most part. It's been really bad really really bad But I think they finally realized like hey one we're losing money. We're losing a lot of money We're losing a lot of money. We're losing business So why not go get a Lamar Jackson? Bring in this electrifying Playmaking quarterback who can do it all do the do the plays with his with his arms or the plays with his legs He can do it all He can do it all so and We and what else do we do if we losing money? We got to find a way we lose the money We losing fans. We got to find a way to try to bring them back so Ravens start put you know how secretive Ravens are you know how secret if they are you know how they like to keep stuff under wraps But Ravens start putting out articles here and there even on on you know It's official when the Ravens comm Baltimore Ravens comm has it on there. What's up, Thomas? But they put put it out there that oh, yeah, they're gonna have some packages for Lamar Jackson They're gonna have some offense packages for Lamar Jackson. They put that on their website on their official website So with them doing that That's kind of giving the fans a little tidbits like oh, okay. Here's the reason to be excited for this season Here's the reason to be excited for this offense. Here's the reason to buy tickets. Here's the reason to buy merchandise Here's the reason to spend money and here's the reason to continue to support this team who's been failing on offense for forever now so again business move man and then today they announced the How they're gonna be dropping the prices for food at the stadium now We all know how expensive that food is at stadiums. We all know that We all know that and for them to drop prices for food. Oh, that's big man. That's big so It's a business move man It's a it's a big business move Lamar Jackson was a business move He wasn't all business, but he was a big business move huge business move huge business move So Yeah, man. It's oh, yeah, we talked about that earlier Mike. He said they're gaining money from Jackson's jerseys, too Yeah, you know them jerseys gonna be flying off the shelves. It's like I said, we talked about that That's merchandise. That's all business That's all people are excited for Lamar Jackson people are super excited for this guy And it's not taking anything away from Flacco. We love Flacco appreciate everything that he did But people are super excited for Lamar Jackson because there are so many there's a lot of people with Lamar Jackson There is I haven't seen our one person do it With Lamar Jackson, everybody is extreme with him everybody Everybody is extreme with Lamar Jackson. Everybody either says. Oh man Lamar Jackson is gonna be great Oh, no Lamar Jackson gonna suck There's there's no in-between Everybody that I've seen make a comment of all Lamar Jackson and you can scroll up the comments in this stream, too If you want to see some for yourself Every time I see somebody talk about Lamar Jackson on Twitter in the comment section of the videos in the live streams and Instagram in anything any time I see somebody talk about Lamar Jackson. It's extreme They either say he's gonna be great or they say he's gonna suck. There's no in-between There's no in-between But either way either way Whatever Lamar Jackson does people gonna be watching and That's what the Ravens want. They want people to watch Because they got this quarterback that has so many unknowns right now. He has so many unknowns They have so many unknowns. Yeah, that's a good point JB smooth and somebody mentioned that before I forgot where I forgot who it was but they said they said it's so weird because Since Lamar Jackson got drafted the Ravens have been getting so much media attention recently and that's not like us We don't never get good media attention ever We don't even get much media attention But if we do if we all get media attention then it's never a good thing. It's never a good thing It is never a good thing But yeah, Logan Logan just said a polarized court quarterbacks can make a season exciting and yes this season is already different we We have a new excitement for this season based off of just Lamar Jackson and It's also been creating drama because The question has come up. I mean y'all seen questions from subscribers y'all seen Stuff on YouTube ESPN NFL Network Twitter the internet Y'all have seen all that stuff that asked the question when will Lamar Jackson start? So what does that do if if there's all this controversy talking about when is Lamar Jackson gonna start people gonna say well If Flacco gets hurt or if Flacco performs bad, so what's gonna happen now at them Ravens games? What's gonna happen? well People are gonna be watching they're gonna be watching closely to see how Flacco performs, but did you see the main part of that sentence? People are gonna be watching Business move people are gonna be watching business move people are gonna be watching a business move that People watching generates more income for the Ravens People going to the games generates more income for the Ravens They're probably gonna take some of my money for the the preseason game between them and the Dolphins Because that was a game. I was like I would like to go in it's on a Saturday, but I was like We'll see But now ever since they drafted Lamar Jackson and it's preseason. I'm like, whoa, hold up. Whoa there I'm excited. This is the first preseason not the I can't say the first preseason I've been excited for because the preseason always gets me excited because that means football is one month away But this is the first preseason where I'm like, oh, I can't wait to see a preseason game I can't wait to see a preseason game because I want to see Flacco I want to see RG3 and I want to see Lamar Jackson. I want to see Woodrum. I just want to see everybody So That's what it's about That's what it's about man That's why I say this is the real reason It's not the only reason so don't get me wrong, but this is the real reason that Lamar Jackson was drafted and Concession stand prices went down It's a business and again, like I said, no, not a lot of y'all not gonna like that a lot of y'all don't like that And that's fine. That's fine. Ain't nothing wrong with that but It's true Appreciate y'all team keep it clean.
