 YouTube team keeping clean. What's up y'all? How y'all doing today on this Wednesday? I hope y'all are good, man I'll be seeing y'all like trying to sneak this me sometime like yesterday I don't feel like putting on a hoodie every single video. We're getting ready to leave So I throw on a red tank top and I got some people like man. Hey you my guy, but nah that tank top It's it's a no for me, man, but then somebody was talking about a look like in gravy bringing the guns out for this Videos, let's go and then in another video that we did earlier somebody was like, man Did you even watch your face before you did this video? But hey regardless, I still love y'all and I appreciate y'all and I rocks with y'all anyway So the Ravens yesterday they signed Joe Thomas now I know sometimes when we watch how the offensive line operates Especially in the run game and you could you could think that man Did the Ravens bring back the former Browns Joe Thomas? But no, that's not him. No, sir This is the linebacker Joe Thomas who most recently played for the Houston Texans this year this year, but He he made it out alive. So congratulations to Joe Thomas Welcome to the Ravens. It's a it's a little bit better over here than it is in Houston but anyway Just some statistics from his career So we see he played he started off playing for the Green Bay Packers and that looks like that's where he had his biggest Impact was on the Packers. There was a season in 2016 where he had 70 tackles And yeah, I guess he was on the field the most like I'm not too familiar with his game I'm not familiar with his name But one thing that we do know about these Ravens when it comes to the linebacker position They do their duty. I mean they do that due diligence with every position But when it comes to the linebacker position if this is somebody that they brought in at this point of season like Then probably they know a lot more about him than I do and they see something in him that they could use Because the person who reported this was actually Aaron Wilson, you know Aaron Wilson He used to he used to cover the Ravens for the for the Baltimore Sun I believe but I know he used to cover the Ravens heavy back in the day But now he moved over to cover in the Texans So whenever Texans make a move especially when Ravens make a move about a former Texan He's on it quick. But anyway, this is what he said He said former Texans linebacker Joe Thomas is signing with the Ravens practice squad per a league source and this was the kicker right here and Could move up quickly to the 53 man roster So with that being said I know some people took this as oh well Does this mean that Patrick Queen's injury is a little bit worse than what we thought? No, because Patrick Queen he came back in the game After after he got hurt. Yeah, he came back in the game. So Patrick Queen. He's fine But this is just I guess some some positive reinforcements. Hopefully ain't nothing going on with Patrick Queen I mean, um, we the Ravens they they have practiced today So we'll get a double confirmation on that and then they have the presser today at 1145 I know John Harbaugh. He's supposed to speak. I'm not sure who else is gonna be speaking at that presser But we should have some more Ravens updates Very very soon. So but yeah, I'm pretty sure that Patrick Queen is fine now Ravens whenever they make a move though, you know, you just all you got to do is watch to see what they do Like we said in the video yesterday Actions they speak a lot louder than words do even though Ravens when they say something when Harbaugh says something His words can be pretty powerful sometimes like again the other day when he said with the Ronnie's Stanley situation He said they were gonna come to a resolution Soon and when he used that word resolution, it was like, oh, this does not sound good And when Ronnie Stanley too is something to think about this will have been his one-two third Surgery on the same ankle So that's that's a lot That's a lot and I see why those rumors about and I think it was like from Reddit or something But I see why those rumors about him possibly retiring that I can see why they got started Because he's not a small guy. He's not a little guy. He's a giant. He's he's heavy I mean, he's offensive linemen. So they are all giants Not not from New York though. Oh nice little dad joke But anyway with them all being just huge for all that weight to be put down on that one Ankle and this is the third time you're dealing with problems with this same ankle. That's a lot, man That's a lot too. It's just a whole lot and my biggest hope for Ronnie Stanley Of course that he comes back next year and he's fully healthy. That's that's the obvious But an even bigger hope for Ronnie Stanley because I don't know if y'all remember when there was a presser when it was when Marcus Peters and Gus Edwards when they both of those guys got hurt and they officially got put on injured reserve but in the presser Ronnie Stanley was saying I just hope that He said you can feel when you're injured Yeah, you feel bad you're away from the team and you can't do anything So you can almost feel like you're alone and you can feel isolated So with Ronnie Stanley, he knows what it's like. He just went through this last year He knows what it's like to be away from the team for a long period of time And he said that there's times that you could feel isolated. You could feel lonely So hopefully my biggest hope for him is that his mentors will be straight And that his mentors that they'll be okay So moving forward, he'll be straight just again mentally because with these injuries They obviously take a big toll on you physically, but they can take an even bigger toll on you mentally Because you're in this. I mean, it's the same way with us. That's normal people that don't work in the NFL or aren't football players These injuries they can take a toll on you obviously physically but mentally too So it's important because it because whenever you you're so used to doing something that you do on a normal basis You're so used to doing something that you do every single day and especially if it's something that you do that you love and That thing gets taken away from you then it's like oh and And the worst part about it if it gets taken away from you and you can't do anything To get back to it right away You can't do anything even if you fix whatever the problem may be You can't get back to it right away So you just got to sit and you just got to wait and wait And you got to think about all the all what could have been How it should be all only if I wasn't dealing with this problem then I could be out there doing my thing So that's it's tough. So hopefully with Ronnie Stanley again the mental part That he'll be okay mental wise But what I was saying back to what I was saying with with Ronnie Stanley and his injury Is that the Ravens? They they let us know like oh, yeah, we we get some reinforcements We get some reinforcements because they went out assigned to claim Brandon Knight He's on the active roster now He can play tackle and they signed James Carpenter even though he's a guard they signed him to the practice squad So again, they're just ensuring themselves and again with Ben Cleveland being going to You stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready Stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready. It's important that You do everything that you possibly can to prepare and with Ronnie Stanley to I guess this turned on almost until Ronnie Stanley video But with him it's important that next year and I think I said it in the video too But it's important that next year the Ravens like a You got to invest in a left tackle Well, I think via draft because I mean you ain't gonna be able to you're not gonna play You're not gonna pay premium for two left tackles. That's just no it's not gonna happen But what you need to do and that would Ali Hondo via Nueva his status May actually be Because before when he first signed this year, I was saying, all right I'll be hundreds of feet away with the way his contract to set up to where he gets all the money this year And the next year it ain't as much and then they cut him. That's it And I was thinking okay, this is it is a two-year deal But it's really a one-year deal and they're gonna come after this, you know, you know how it goes but with Ronnie Stanley being hurt again and him having surgery on the same ankle again and Him he could come back in 2022 fully healthy he could but I Feel like Ravens can't even chance it like they can't even chance it. So I feel like they You got a you got a draft to left tackle And again, I first round. No second round Probably not but third round third round and later for sure Um second round. Ah, maybe but third round later for sure Like you you you have to you have to you have to you have to because you can't rely on so And because not yeah, you just can't rely on them not in the bad way. Oh, man He's unreliable, but just you stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready and Ravens They certainly weren't ready come on with the offensive line this year But anyway back to the linebackers It was it was telling when the Ravens brought up Josh brought when they signed Josh buying to the practice squad They saw the struggles From Patrick Queen and with Patrick Queen again In the long run, he'll be fine. He'll be fine. And of course The loss of LJ Ford that was huge in my apologies that I have forgot to mention him in the video Where we were talking about autumn injuries, but like I said, man, it's You tend to forget some names when it's such a long list of injured guys And you don't have to listen in front of you I'm not gonna remember every single name every single time we talk about it because that's it's it's it's like it's impossible But LJ Ford when he went down it was really sad in the preseason and he was like, yeah He was playing at the end of that preseason game, but that that blow just hurt big time We knew it was gonna hurt big time, but it hurt big time And then just to see the struggles With a Patrick Queen and Malik Harrison and it's like what makes it tougher is that You're you're you're learning by you're learning in the fire. You're learning through the fire and you like normally With what the Ravens do especially an inside linebacker with their young boys Like I believe like with Daryl Smith. I believe Daryl Smith. He brought up CJ Mosey Then they were like, all right, CJ Mosey, you ready for it. Um, but with LJ Ford He played last year with Patrick Queen um, so they had that but Remember too last year. They didn't have no offseason So the training was that much more was that much more intense So this season it was looking like, you know, they wanted to shift to Malik Harrison and Patrick Queen to be That guys eventually but it was still going to start off LJ Ford And Patrick Queen but now you have an offseason. So the learning can be a little bit more a little more Detailed and whatnot since you got the offseason to go off of but You can't have this veteran guy Issue in the rookie because the veteran guy is out now So now it's like Two guys who were rookies last year now. They both start us and in Ravens defense. That's a whole lot to deal with So when they brought Josh Bynes back, he was like, okay, understand Understand so now they got Josh Bynes Taking on the role that Patrick Queen had and they moved Patrick Queen over So it'll it'll just ease things for him. It'll make the process a little more simpler for him So good move by the Ravens and it's funny. I pulled up on pulled up something on twitter, uh yesterday and I think I was just I was actually just looking to see uh Make sure that Josh Bynes was on the active roster Um, like for good. I'm trying to see exactly when he got put on the active roster Not when they signed him to the practice squad not when they called him up from the practice squad But when he got put on the active roster So while I was searching for that a tweet from way back in 2012 came up from the Ravens and it said Josh Bynes has been called up to the active roster to replace Ray Lewis to take the spot of Ray Lewis So Josh Bynes has been doing this he's been filling in for Ravens linebackers Ravens starting linebackers Ravens starting inside linebackers for a long time So this ain't nothing new to to him. He ain't new to this. He's true to this shout out to Josh Bynes But I love y'all man. Um, special shout out to my guy king abe mark. I don't know if he's gonna listen to this Um, but I know he said that he was a uh, he was an amazon truck driver So boy, I I know he is busy man, especially for them prime customers Because prime you get it you could get stuff the same day You pay that extra little $2.99 if you don't spend $35 Or you get it the very next day if if it's available the very next day. Sometimes you order stuff in the land but um, special shout out to him and just special shout out to um To everybody who I know some people that the job some people listen to the videos why they at work Um, they listen to they may have a really busy job where they may be on the road You may listen to it on your way to work You may listen to their school why he's supposed to be doing school work Even if you listen to that work why he's supposed to be doing work work like y'all y'all be careful there But now I appreciate y'all Taking the time out of your day your schedule your life whatever it is that you do To listen to the videos and to watch the videos and to support the channel From wherever you from even if you from overseas if you're international with it I appreciate it If you're right here locally with it.
