 This past Monday night, we witnessed the Ravens take on the Rams and what was an epic showdown between both teams. But it proved to only be epic for one of them, and it wasn't the ones from the West Coast. Big Yikes! Yeah, this feels like a dream. I see my boy, he like... So, YouTube team keeping clean. What's going on? It's Engraven here with another video. And in this video, we're here to talk about the game that we watched on Monday night between the Ravens and the Rams. Before we get into it, I do have to let you all know that I do really, really, really appreciate y'all. Thank you for allowing me to take some of your time every single day. Because it's daily videos, some of y'all watch every day, some might watch every other day, some watch whenever they get the chance to. But either way, whatever your schedule is, whatever your routine is for the videos, I appreciate it. And I appreciate it a lot. So, thank you for that. Thank you for supporting. Shout out to everybody that was in the livestream during the game yesterday. Shout out to everybody that was in the livestream after the game last night. We had a whole lot of fun. Shout out to all y'all that got to actually go out to the game and watch it in person, watch it live. Because I've told several people that and it's something that's true. Like, you can watch Lamar Jackson on TV. You can watch him all you want to on TV. It's different actually, like seeing him right there. Like, his speed. Like, you can see it on TV. But if you're actually there, it's a lot faster in person. It's a lot faster in person. But it is a beautiful thing to be able to watch, whether you watch it at home or whether you watch it at the stadium, wherever you watch it at, it's beautiful. And the game last night was nothing short of that. It was just a beautiful thing. The game last night, we're going to start this one off a little bit different. We're going to start with coaching. We're going to start with coaching. They're in this game. Weren't any bad coaching decisions. The only one that I didn't agree with. But at the same time, it's like, okay, this is who this team is. This is who this team is. They are going to be aggressive and they are going to continue to try to stomp you out. The only one that I didn't agree with was it was early in the first quarter. They were up 7-0 and it was fourth down. And they brought out the field goal unit at first. And then they were like, no, no, no. I think they were actually getting ready to punt. But the Rams had like a penalty or something. Maybe they had 12 minutes on a field. And then they were going to bring out the field goal unit. And then they were like, no, no, no. We're going to go for it. So then they went for it. And I was like, I would have just kicked the field goal. But they got it. They got it. And that is the type of team that this is. It's like we were joking. No, or maybe that was a different set of play, whatever. But on the fourth down where they went for it and they got it. But we were joking a little bit before that. I was like, oh, how about probably going to mess around and go for it, man? You're going to mess around and go for it. You're going to mess around and go for it. And he messed around and went for it. Because that is who these Ravens are. That is who these Ravens are. And they have not been playing it safe. They have not been playing it scared. Now there have been some, especially in that Chiefs game, I was like, no, don't. Why? Why? And again, for this one, like I said, I didn't agree with it. It worked out. I still didn't agree with it, but I'm glad it worked out. I'm so glad it worked out. But the Ravens, they just, they're not scared. And the thing about this team is that they are, they stepping on people's necks and they not taking their foot off. They're not. They're not. Eric DeCosta, he said it. And I got to keep going back to it. He said he wanted to build a bully. He said he wanted to build a bully. Ravens have been bullying the best teams. They've been bullying the best teams. So now they got another opportunity. We're going to talk about that game in another video. 49 is going to, oh, that's going to, oh, that's a game. That's a game right there, man. But anyway, in this game, Ravens from the, from the get go, from the jump. Oh, coaching. I said I was going to start with coaching anyway. But besides that, I agree with everything that they did. They stuck to their game and they know they get it. They get it that their game is the best version of them that they can possibly play. Playing their game is the best version of that game they can possibly play. Being themselves is the best possible version that they can possibly be. And they need to stick to exactly that. Play your game. Be yourself. Don't try to be the other, be yourself. And now Ravens had to learn that the hard way, but they have certainly learned their lesson as we've seen over the past, what, six weeks? Seven weeks. They won seven in a row, right? Yeah. Because they're nine and two now, right? Ooh, yikes. Anyway, the Ravens, they came out in this game playing their game. They were running that ball. But, and again, they surprised me because I was thinking, ooh, Aaron Dono, yikes. They might have to run to the outside, bounce into the outside a little bit more because he is just such a force. But they ran straight up the middle. They did not play scared. They did not play worried. They ran straight up the middle, right? I was about to say right at Aaron Dono, but actually right past him because he ended this game. I didn't even remember that he was the defensive player of the year last year. I didn't even remember that. I would have figured it went to Khalil Mech. But anyway, this guy, Aaron Dono, he ended the game with, I think, one assisted tackle. That was it. One assisted tackle. Not saying that he didn't cause a little bit of a problem and eat up blockers, but he ended this game with one assisted tackle. Now, in this case, I mean, you could be like, well, hey, stats don't tell the whole story because they don't. I always say that. Stats don't tell the whole story, but you didn't hear Aaron Dono's name all game. So in this case, in this case, they actually did tell the story. They told exactly what the story was. The Ravens neutralized this guy and they made him a non-factor. They made him a non-factor. It was like, it was almost like he wasn't even playing. It was almost like he wasn't even playing because he didn't do anything, which was a great thing. But again, Ravens played their game. They ran it straight up the middle. They were passing it. They were doing all of that stuff. One of the biggest scares of the night, well, it ended up not even being a scare because it actually happened, was when Matt Scurro went out. Matt Scurro went out and they brought the card out. And I was like, oh, boy, that's not good. So he went out, they brought the card out, and then Patrick Mackay, he had to come take his place. Undrafted rookie free agent. Undrafted rookie free agent. And my guy, Kevin Redline, he was just telling me that this guy didn't play a lick of center in college. He didn't play not one bit of center in college, but he sure had to play it tonight. And he failed in just fine. So that, you got to give kudos to the Ravens coaching staff. Offensive coordinator, Greg Gromen. Man, he, my guy, Nitro, made a great point that I didn't even know. He said that Greg Gromen is only signed through this season. So he would be a free agent after this season is up. So trust and believe that Eric DeCosta and company, they are going to want to take care of him. Wink, Wink said last year, he said, hey, as long as hardball is here, I'm here. As long as he'll have me, I'll stick around. So we'll see if that holds true. Now, I wouldn't hold it against him if he decided he changed his mind and whatnot. And he was like, you know what, maybe I do want to be a head coach because you never want to, you never want to get on somebody. You never want to be negative about somebody wanting to grow, wanting to do more, wanting to be better, wanting to do better. You never want to hate on somebody for that. Whether it's a, you a fan of the team or it's somebody in real life or whoever, you never want to just, yeah, like I said, be negative about that. You don't want to be that, don't be that person. Oh, so you think you're better? You're going to go get a better job? Oh, you want to go be a head coach? Don't be that person. But so if he changes his mind, he changes his mind. Let him do what he wants to do. But hopefully they can keep everybody in tech. Hopefully. We'll see though. We'll see. Because they definitely earning some raises, man. They're definitely earning some raises. But coaching, coaching was pretty good last night. It's pretty good. Special teams, Justin Tucker, he did this thing. They did have a few hiccups. On the, where there was all that confusion, when there was the penalty, then they were going to kick the field goal, then they were going to go for it. Things were just moving a little bit slow. Then they had to call a timeout. So they didn't end up losing the yard. So that was good. But overall, great night, great night. And Greg Gromen again, I appreciate how he has stuck to the plan. He has stuck to their strengths, stuck to them, took it right to these defenses, stuck it right to these teams. And they have continued just putting on the points too. Because again, something that we talked about, we were so used to the Ravens, they would get a lead and they could have a 10 point lead. They could have a 10 point lead. So that's not even, that's not a big lead at all. But they would, we were so used to them getting so conservative, so conservative. But these Ravens, oh no. And one of my favorite things about these Ravens is the plate calling on offense because even when the game is over with points wise, is Ravens have such a large margin. And when, like when they take Lamar Jackson out with RG3, they will still be throwing the ball. Because what they're trying to do is wear you down and really take you out, really take you out. Because they will still be trying to convert these first down. Like some teams bring out the backup quarterback. Okay, just run the ball, get us out of here. But no, Ravens, they will run the ball to try to get you out of there, but they will also pass it even with an RG3 just so they can really get you out of there. And I love that they have not been conservative with the scoring. They haven't been like, okay, we're up by 10, we're up by 14. Let's just run the ball, control the clock. Which they have been doing, but they also have been passing and scoring piling on points. And that's what you have to do. And that's the perfect definition of building a bully. Eric Dacosta is getting exactly what he wanted. This is exactly what he said he wanted to do. And he's done it. He's done it. Ravens are bullying these teams. They're bullying them. So anyway, to the players, of course, Lamar Jackson, he had a really good night. And it was very efficient. Very efficient looking at the exact numbers. 15 for 20, 169 yards. And I know some people may look at that. They may say, what? Okay, 15 to 20, that's cool, whatever. There's only five missed passes, but 169 yards. Guys, no quarterback. 169, that's nothing. Then you look at that efficiency. That efficiency, five touchdowns. Five touchdowns in 15 passes. That's a touchdown average every three passes. Every three passes he was throwing a touchdown. He also ran for eight times for 95 yards. Efficient. And again, I know some people, hey, 169 yards. Please, that's garbage. That's nothing. Overrated. And when those people, the people that say that, you can tell that they just, they don't have an idea of what this Ravens brand of football is. Because it is not conventional. It's not conventional. Usually conventional brand of football, the quarterback may have like 240, 240 to like 300, something like that. There'll be a lot more yards, but this is not your average offense. But for some reason, they are the number one offense in the league, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm conventional and all number one offense in the league. And the thing about Lamar Jackson that we have to remind people of is that he has missed an entire game this season because he's been pulled from four quarters. There have been four different games where this guy has not even played the majority of the fourth quarter. Somewhere he's got taken out in the third quarter. But there have been four different games, four different occasions against the Dolphins. And I know some people, Dolphins, please. That's nothing against the Bengals. Some people are going to say, hey, Bengals, please. That's nothing. But what are you going to say about him also doing that to the Texans and the Rams? The Texans and the Rams, what are they going to say now? So people, one day they're going to run out of stuff. They're going to run out of stuff to say. And they're going to be like, well, but what are they going to say now? But anyway, he had a very efficient day, very efficient day. And I would take this any day over a quarterback. Oh, quarterback going for 400 yards. Okay, cool. But what's your team doing? How is that impacting your team? See, you can use numbers. You can use numbers to your favor, to fit your narrative, man. You can do that. You can say, oh, when the last time you had a 300 or 400-yard passing game, that's what the real quarterbacks are doing. But some people would fail to realize that a lot of these quarterbacks, they're having to have these games because they may turn the ball over and they may be having to play catch up with the other team. They may not have a running game that works as good as the Ravens' running well, actually, I mean, you could say that about any team in the league, really, because their game is just real deal. Their running game is just real deal. So that's that, man. So shout out to Lamar. Shout out to the Ravens. And it's not just Lamar Jackson. And there's something that we got to make sure we do not forget about as Ravens fans. Who are we going to talk about that in another video? Anyway, the offensive line, we talked about them briefly, but with the offensive line, they stepped up. With the absence of Max Scurra, a lot of us were in fear of what would happen to the offensive line moving forward. But they let us know like, hey, fear not, we got you. And he stepped in and it didn't even look like Max Scurra was out. He could have threw on Max Scurra's jersey. And we would have thought it was Scurra. We would have thought it was our starter for the past couple years at center. We would have thought it was him because they did not miss a beat. They didn't miss a beat. And that like this game, Max Scurra going out, it could have really sent us Ravens fans into not necessarily panic mode, but we could have worried a lot more moving forward. And not saying that, oh yeah, Patrick McCarney, just this one game, this sets him as, okay, we're straight. I mean, we could be. But it's just what I mean to say is that it was just a good sign. It's just such a great sign that he was able to come in. He wasn't expected to come in. He was able to come in, fill in right away. No drop off, no problems. He did his thing. He did his thing. So now the task is tougher against the 49ers. But again, we talk about that in another video, another video. We're going to get to them 49ers. I know, I know a lot of y'all really want to y'all just ready. Let's talk about San Fran. We'll get there though. Trust me, trust me. But anyway, the offensive line held up well. Mark Ingram, I said it last night, he had a sneaky hundred yards. He had a sneaky hundred yards. I didn't even realize he had a hundred yards. He had like 15 carries of, let me see, the exact numbers. He had 15 carries of 111 yards, average 7.4 yards a carry. And had his touchdown where he stretched over the goal line with the ball. Gus Edwards had four, oh yeah, 55 yards. I didn't even know that. He had 14 carries for 55 yards. Okay, check him out, Gus. And Justice Hill had his best running game of the year with eight carries for 27 yards. So he got a lot more involved than the usual. So that was good. And that's that all starts. You can't have those numbers if you don't have a good offensive line. No good offensive line, that stuff isn't happening. So Raven's offensive line has been very strong all year. More so in run-back blockings. I do often think that their pass protection, their like the PFF grades and stuff get a little overrated because of Lamar Jackson, because they may allow some pass rushers to get back in the pocket or whatnot, but Lamar will evade them and make them miss and whatnot. So they will give up like pressure or whatnot, but like the QB hits that there would have been had Lamar not been a mobile quarterback. The QB hits would have went up. The Sacks would have went up. A lot of that stuff would have went up. But since you have Lamar Jackson, then he can help those numbers stay down. But shout out to the offensive line. They've been pretty good this year. They've been very good this year. And I think I spoke about it in the stream yesterday that I know when Ravens, when fans of Ravens or not, when you think of who the most improved player on this Ravens team is, of course, everybody will go all the way down. But somebody that should definitely be a runner up would be Matt Scurra. It would be Matt Scurra. It would definitely be Matt Scurra. You can throw Bozeman in there too, but I think Matt Scurra will be over him. Because Bozeman, sometimes you still get a little happy feet. Sometimes he still gets a little happy feet. But now he's played a lot better too though. But yeah, Matt Scurra should be up there. Because this offensive line has just been a beautiful thing, man. It's been a beautiful thing. But anyway, something that somebody mentioned to me, let me see if I can find exactly who it is. Because it was such a great point. It was such a great point. Was it my guy Kevin Redline again? I'm not sure. I'm checking right now. No, it wasn't him. It was somebody else. But somebody mentioned that the wide receivers, they didn't even, excuse me, the tight ends didn't even catch touchdown pass. I'm trying to see who it was. But either way, man, it's just crazy, man. I'm trying to see who it was. But either way, man, it's just crazy, man. It's just crazy, man. It's crazy. Because we're so used to those tight ends doing their thing. I really forgot who mentioned it. Because I really want to give them their credit. Because they also mentioned like, hey, that just goes to show when you take away one thing, the Ravens could end up hurting you with another. I really wish I saw who it was, man. My apologies. My apologies. Because I really wanted to acknowledge them. Because I hate that. I hate not acknowledging the people who make these great points. So anyway, whoever said it, please let it be known. Claim your comment. Because you deserve to. But anyway, that was great. Because everybody knows Lamar Jackson, he loves tight ends. Ravens come out heavy with them tight ends. But they also could spread it out too. And that's why I say, when people ask the question, did this Ravens team peak too early? I don't even think they peaked. I don't even think they peaked. And shout out to the people that tried to correct me yesterday, but were dead wrong. Because they were like, no, peaked. I spelled it P-E-A-K-E-D. P-E-A-K-E-D. And somebody was like, no, no, that's wrong. Peaked. P-E-E-K-E-D. Two people. They tried to come for me in the comment section and I had to correct both of them. I said, no, peaking, the one that you're spelling, is when you're looking. When you're looking for something. I don't think the Ravens are looking for something too early. But peaking, the one that I'm spelling, P-E-A-K-E-D, is when you reach the top. When you reach the top. So, had to do a little corrections there. But it's all good, man. It's all love. I do it out of love. I do it out of love. So just know that. Anyway, when people ask if the Ravens are peaking too early, no, because they haven't even peaked yet. Because they haven't even consistently got the Y receivers involved like that. Now, last night, that was a little version. That just showed that the Ravens are versatile and they still got plenty more to offer. Hollywood Brown, two touchdowns. Willie Snead, two touchdowns. Mark Ingram had his touchdown. So they certainly got those Y receivers involved. Hollywood should have had three. And Willie Snead should only have one. But Hollywood was like, you know what? I'm going to drop it on purpose just so we can share the wealth a little bit. So I'm going to let somebody else get one. So Lamar put it right there, too. And Hollywood went pook. All right, I got my fake drop out the way. Let somebody else get it. Then they found Snead and Snead, though, for that in-zone touchdown. Lamar throws his fifth of the game. So it was a beautiful thing, man. It was a beautiful thing. And it's just nice to see that we have an offense that can do these things. Now, the Titans still got involved a little bit. But last night was a night for the receivers. And shout out to Seth Roberts, too. He didn't score a touchdown, but he continued to show that effort that he always shows. I love Seth Roberts' effort. Love it. Love it. Because he'll make a nice catch and then he'll get a lot more yards after the catch, too. He don't stop fighting for yards. He goes forward. Like he's like a running back at wide receiver or something. Just his mentality because he always falls forward, always going forward. Yeah, it was a great night. Mark Andrews, he had a drop, but he made enough plays, too. He made a really nice play where he got big yards running up the sideline. So that was nice. Hayden Hurst made a couple of catches. Boyle was kind of quiet. I think he had a few catches. Let me see exactly how many catches he had, man. Because he was kind of quiet last night, man. Andrews just had two. Oh, yeah, he had that long one. Okay. Boyle just had one. So quiet. Oh, Hayden Hurst didn't have a catch. I thought he did. Okay, I'll take that back, then. Oh, Boykin. He had two catches. I remember the big one. I remember the big one from RG3. I don't remember the other one, though. I don't remember the other one that Boykin got. Yeah, I really can't remember it. I can't. Of course, Hollywood. We talked about him, Snead. Mark Ingram on his nice touchdown catch. Where he looked like he was going now, but then he cut back in and a linebacker said, whoa. And boom, Lamar zipped it in there. Touchdown. Touchdown. So many weapons, man. So many weapons. And a lot of these guys were like castoffs. A lot of these guys were like, nah, that ain't nothing. A lot of these guys are young. And it's been a process. It's been a process. And it's still a process. But this has been pleasantly surprising from these wide receivers. And I think the Ravens just, they have guys that just have reliable hands for the most part. They got guys that can just catch the ball. And that's what you need first and foremost. Hollywood Brown for the most part. Willie Snead. Seth Roberts. Boykin. It's a little process. It's a process. He's been getting better though. It's a process though. But he don't get too much target still. So I think that plays a role in it too. But then of course all the tight ends, they pretty sure handed. Mark Andrews, I don't know what was going on with him in that Seattle game. But yikes. But yeah. That's cool though. We got a pretty sure handed team in the past catching department. Defense. Boy that defense. That defense has been just, they've been clicking. They didn't give up a touchdown. They didn't give up a touchdown. And that's great man. They allowed six points. Two field goals. No TDs man. None. For them to do that, that's amazing. That's amazing. They are clicking man. Marcus Peters, he got his pick, which I was so happy for. Jimmy Smith, he got his pick, which I was so happy for. It was great. It was great. Marlon Humphrey almost got a few sacks. Almost. There was one play where they sent in, I think, they sent in Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith. Both on the blitz from both sides. And they almost got that like Ravens pass rush last night. Last night was the night where that pass rush was on point. Last night was the night. And last night, they were like getting so close. They were right there to get even more sacks, but golf would get it out at the last second. But the pass rush, definitely, they had a great night last night. They did not let golf be comfortable. He just continued to look really bad, man. He looked really, really bad. Somebody in the comment section yesterday, it was like, man, if golf is worth 100 mil, how much is Lamar Jackson worth? But yeah, it was a rough, ugly night for him. Ugly night. Look, disgusting. Disgusting. But, yeah, that's the quarterback. That's that guy. Now, I didn't even realize, I was watching a Rams fan video, and he said that girlie only had six carries. Let me see. Yeah, that's true. He had six carries. It's crazy, man. And Rams, it's funny, they tried to do some of those little tricks, or they tried to do one of those little tricks, well, not really trick plays, but one of those little ender rounds or whatever, little reverses or whatever, where they brought Brandon Cooks. They brought him in motion. Then they hiked the ball, and then they handed it off to him real quick. Ravens were all over that. Ravens were all over really everything. They were pretty much all over everything. I know Robert Woods, he had, I think he had like 90-some yards. Why am I even questioning it? I can look it up right now. Yeah, he had 97 yards, but a big chunk of that, it came on that play at the very end of the game. It came on that play at the very end of the game, where he got, it says it was 39 yards, 38 yards, but with Brandon Carr, he pushed him out, and then Robert Woods got up, and he was flexing. He was flexing, but the score was 45-6. You're really flexing, and the score is 45-6. You got some stuff to think about, man. You got some stuff to think about. But, Ravens gave us plenty to think about, too. Put a bunch of better stuff to think about than what Robert Woods got to think about. Anyway, Cooper Cup didn't even know he was playing last night. Didn't even know he was playing. Ain't even know. Gurley was a non-factor. I think the, just as much as the Ravens did, the Rams also made Gurley a non-factor, because they ain't using. They ain't using. You're like, oh, we got Gurley. He can chill. He can chill. He didn't do anything. Six carries. Todd Gurley. Six carries. Yikes. Everett. What did Everett do? Everett was pretty quiet. I remember a couple catches, but I don't remember much from him. So, let's see. Everett, oh, yeah. He had literally that. Two catches. A couple. Rams' offense just couldn't get anything going. All game and Raven's defense, they had everything going. It was just beautiful. Marcus Peters, oh, man, I was so happy for him because, I was even more happy for him because he almost had to pick early in the game. But he, I guess he started, he jumped on it a little too late and it hit the ground. He was like, oh, right there. If he would have been there a second sooner, that would have been picked, probably picked six. But I was glad that he ended up still getting his, man. He jumped it. He did one of them little madden animations where the ball gets thrown and they run and the receiver is in front of them, but they run it and they end up turning to the receiver. He jumped it. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. They got to pay these corners, man. And I said, Jimmy Smith. Jimmy Smith was, he was playing like he wanted to stick around in Baltimore, man. He don't want to go nowhere. And he wants all of us fans to remind each other of who Jimmy Smith is. And we don't even need to remind it, but I don't mind him reminding us. I love the reminders. Keep on feeding us those reminders, Jimmy. Keep on letting us know. Let us know who you are and what you're capable of, because we know, and again, with Jimmy Smith, it's just been the injuries. It's just been the injuries. That's been his only problem, the injuries, and of course there's suspension, but the injuries have been the only thing. And that's it. So we know how good of a corner he is. Now we got him, Healthy, Marlin, Humphrey, Marcus, Peters, Brandon Carr, Earl Thomas. He had a quiet night, but it was a good quiet. It was a good quiet. He didn't give up anything. He blitzed a couple of times. You know the usual. He's been having a good season, man. Earl Thomas has been having a good season. Chuck Clark. Chuck Clark continues to play well. Ever since they put the green dot on him? Playing lights out, man. Lights out. It is unfortunate how he got his opportunity. Of course, with Tony Jefferson and Deshaun, Elliott going down, or Tony Jefferson get going down because he had his opportunity when Deshaun Elliott was still there. But he's been great. He's been great. Matt Judon continues to get ready to get paid because he certainly will. That's going to be a lot of money, man. A lot of money. Josh Bynes, LJ Ford. LJ Ford was kind of quiet. Josh Bynes, he made a few plays. He's a little quiet today, but that means they were handling their business. That means this entire defensive unit was working together, working collectively as a unit, and they took care of their business. They took care of their business. So everybody played their part. Everybody played their role. Everybody executed what they needed to do in order to get the win. And they got it. They got it. So now 49ers are coming up. They're coming up. And that's going to be a... That should be a fun one. That should be a fun one. So anyway, Team Keep It Clean, I appreciate y'all. Ravens, hey, we appreciate y'all. We all on here, Team Keep It Clean. We appreciate those Ravens. It's fun. And we don't want it to end. But when it does have to come to an end, we want it to be with the Ravens in Miami celebrating. That's the only way that this season can go. That's it. That's the only way that this season can go. And that's it. It can't go any other way. Not this team, uh-uh. It can't go any other way. It has to be like this. It has to. So... We're going to see how it plays out, man. But the way that these Ravens are playing, it can't be any other way. Anyway, Team Keep It Clean, I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Thank you for rockin' with us for these past very some knob minutes. And I'm out. Boy, he like gotta made it.
