 Keep it clean. Don't worry. I'm gonna let you get back to the playoff game in a couple of minutes I'll be brief because this was brief but these boys said a lot In a short amount of time about how they feel about Lamar Jackson So as you watch this playoff game on Fox Like a little bit before I started recording Brock Partey just hit Christian McCaffrey for a wide open touchdown And then a few plays before that Christian McCaffrey broke for like 60 some yards But anyway, you're watching this game on Fox, but before the game started on Fox We had the likes of a Michael Vic. We had a Sean Payton We had a Charles Woodson and they were talking about Mr. Lamar Jackson Who's been the subject of conversation recently a lot a whole lot? Obviously because he's Lamar Jackson. He ain't just any average NFL player. He's Lamar Jackson, but They were talking about his tweet where he let everybody know like hey I want to be out there. He let everybody know has injuries doing and they're still swollen and whatnot So he's not fully recovered yet But there have been a lot of people that just really ain't been buying it And there have been a lot of people that just ain't been feeling it And there have been a lot of people that have been saying a lot of stuff about that but Sean Payton He started off. He just said I don't like it I don't like it And he said the end of playoff game and i'm hearing grumblings that their teammates who feel like his recovery process is taking longer than expected now With that, um, because that that could mean like so many different things I'm hearing teammates saying there's there's grumblings that teammates are frustrated that his recovery process taking longer than expected Is it because well, maybe his body didn't respond the way that they hoped it would okay? That's one thing or they think that is it's on him. That could be another thing That was just it was very very vague But anyway, um, and then again, he said I just don't like it So Sean Payton, let us know he more than one time. I just don't like it Uh, and he said the the team's more important right now than you we appreciate the information on your injury But I don't see him back in Baltimore. So that last part about Lamar not being back in Baltimore. That's I don't think that's a big deal but um I just Sean Payton try to make it like Lamar was trying to make it all about him That part I just I really didn't get now if somebody saw that saw this whole thing on fox And they didn't really have the context of everything that's been going on with the Baltimore Ravens Then they could take that and run with it and be like, oh man yellow Mars a selfish guy He's just he's a narcissist. He wants it all to be about him That's why he put that out that information about his injury out But if you knew the background story was actually going on you'd be like, oh, okay I've been waiting on some information about his injury because we ain't been hearing nothing about it from anybody Especially the people who are supposed to know about it so Anyway, um It's a nasty game, baby. It's a nasty game out here. Remember when Sean Payton just a few weeks ago He was talking because hey things could change quick when Sean Payton was talking about Hey, I might be a free agent Lamar might be a free agent. We might be in free agency together He was over there trying to trying to flirt With free agency with Lamar's free agency and it's like now it's like, oh, I don't like it. But anyway anyway, Charles Woodson Charles Woodson said if this team was 2115 I could see him Lamar Jackson not trying to come back It just seems like we all play this game to try to win the Super Bowl. That's the goal So Charles Woodson through his words He was implying that someone seemed like he was implying that Lamar sort of quit on the team And he he and he also implied that it's just business. It's It's about the contract But let's continue. He also said, uh, yeah, the Super Bowl is the goal And if you got a team that's good enough to get to the playoffs Uh, and then Charles Woodson said he doesn't know if he as Charles Woodson would be brave enough to do what Lamar Jackson is doing He said but kudos to him in a sarcastic way And then he said, uh, he's about his business and he feels they don't want to pay him. So And that was that So Charles Woodson letting me know that he thinks it's all about the money But it should be about the team And then Michael Vic who is He Lamar Jackson's mentor that he quit that job that it did he retire? I don't know But anyway, Michael Vic who has dealt in his career dealt with a lot of injuries a whole lot of injuries But he said you're three games away. Put a brace on it Put a brace on it. Lamar put a brace on it Strap up the brace and go play. He didn't say that part, but he did say put a brace on it He said um, and then Charles Woodson said it's hard to say that if he's really hurt. I don't know the extent of his injury So it's like they said they said everything all three of them said all the stuff And then Charles Woodson come and then he tried to put that in well, we don't know the extent of his injury So it's hard to say just put a brace on it. It's like you just finished saying all this stuff But now you want to say you don't know the extent of his injury That's what this whole tweet was about. That's what the whole segment was about him letting the world know the extent of his injury But anyway And then Vic said I played a whole season on a sprain mcl I don't think he did really good that season. I really don't Uh, but anyway, and then Peyton said with the lower body with the lower body injury. He's gonna be in the press box He's not gonna be on the field for me so um Again, it seems like the NFL world a lot of them are just turning on Lamar and they Almost painting a picture making him the bad guy um now It seems like a lot of people have a uh, they don't have good memories um Because it's funny when when it's to somebody's benefit When they talk about Lamar Jackson possibly getting hurt That's when they want to use rg3 as an example when they talk about when Lamar is healthy And the ravens call it running player Lamar takes off if Lamar is running the ball and Lamar is healthy That's when a lot of people want to use oh a he's gonna be like rg3. He's gonna get hurt running the ball But then when he actually is hurt And he actually is injured Then everybody forgets about rg3 everybody forgets about it Because rg3 I'm not sure if it was a pco injury or not. It was a lower leg injury But rg3 He in his rookie year He led his team to the playoffs But he got hurt. He got hurt against the ravens. Lody nada. He got hurt and He wasn't ready to come back And I think the playoff game was against the seahawks who are on right now I'm pretty sure it was against the seahawks, but rg3 wasn't ready to come back Washington they were in the playoffs and they're like rg3 Come on back, baby. He wasn't ready. If you watch the game you could tell he wasn't ready But they played him anyway and what happened killed his career Changed everything Changed the trajectory of his career the way he started. Oh man. His career was going like that. Then he got hurt Rushed him back early He comes back It was over before he started and rg3 He yeah, he never got that like that real second contract He obviously got second and third contracts and stuff because he played for the browns. He obviously played for the ravens um, am I missing anybody but anyway Rg3 never got to really his career never got to really take off like it should have Like it started it started off hot but because of people being impatient And they rushed him back and that was it That was it Cam Newton Former MVP quarterback former super bowl quarterback. Yeah, didn't win But again, that's another person who a lot of people they love comparing Lamar Jackson to now a lot of these comparisons are lazy now They they they can be very lazy, but people love comparing Lamar Jackson to cam Newton Oh, yeah, he runs around. Oh, yeah, he can throw here and there, but he runs it does a lot of running a lot He's comparing them cam Newton, but then a lot of people again They compare the cam Newton say, oh, yeah, he's gonna get hurt. Remember when cam got hurt? But then and they do that before Lamar gets hurt when he's healthy But now Lamar is hurt and everybody forgets cam Newton cam Newton um, he got hurt and he he had a uh He had an injury in his shoulder. Was it the rotator cuff? It was something and it's throwing shoulders throwing arm Came back too early Guess what he couldn't throw Couldn't play as good as in any anymore as he used to Because he was still hurt the Panthers rushed him back. He was not ready to come back. What happened He was never the same and then he ended up going to the Patriots And then he ended up coming back to the Panthers again But now he's it's almost like it's been a forced retirement because it ain't been nothing with cam Newton nothing nothing And then again, michael vic like I said with michael vic He had got hurt a lot He got hurt so much when he played in the league so I mean But yeah, it is what it is though, right? They want Lamar to go out there and put a brace on it Because that's what you need to do You're injured and we want you to be out there playing That's what you need to do for your team for yourself for everybody Now while we would all love to see Lamar Jackson out there I guarantee you I guarantee you because I know there's a lot of fans and stuff that hey Lamar needs to play needs to play through this injury I guarantee you I promise you That if Lamar went out there and he played And he won didn't look his normal self He too didn't look as good as he normally does or three the worst one if he went out there and got hurt all over again So many people would be like oh, I knew he shouldn't have played I knew the ravens shouldn't have rushed them back. Oh, I knew the ravens should have held them out I knew Lamar shouldn't have been in this game So many people would do I guarantee it So It's hard. It is tough as a football fan Whether ravens fan or not, but as a football fan as an analyst as an expert as a former player It is tough to think about how this could impact the player for the long term. It's very hard to think that way But it's very important that Lamar Jackson himself Is very important that the baltimore ravens themselves that everybody thinks about the long term effects too Especially when this sad team doesn't have the best track records for players returning from injuries Do we need to remind people again? We talked about it in the video last night But do we need to remind people again of ronnie stanley? last year Came back one day ravens doctors cleared them. You're good to go ronnie stanley go out there have a great season He played one game looked terrible never played a snap again that season And even this year he wasn't even all the way all the way ready to play this year at the beginning of the year So it's what was jk dobbins who Missed the whole season last year came back this year ravens doctor said hey jk dobbins You're ready to go. You're good to go go out there and kill it brother I think they missed him for the first couple of games. Then even when he did come back He was like, oh, okay. He looks straight, but he looked a little off Had to have another surgery again It's like what rashaul bateman Rashaul bateman gets hurt in the walking boot. No, no, he'll be straight. He'll be fine. He's good Boom. Oh season ending injury. Oh, he's having season ending surgery. That's a wrap for rashaul bateman. Oh Okay Okay, okay So it's like they don't have the greatest track record they don't But people want the the the the current franchise quarterback We'll see if what happens in the future But they want the current franchise quarterback. Hey put on a brace go through go go play come through and play Playing that playoff game and it is the playoff game So I know is it obviously much different implications than a regular season game would be and would have but He got much different implications too For his entire career
