 YouTube, Team Keep It Clean. What's going on? It's Ingraven here with another video. And in this video, happy Thursday. I love y'all. You right there watching this, you. And that person next to you. If you watch him or somebody, I love both of y'all. And I appreciate you all's time. I appreciate you all taking the time out of your day to come through and have a little chit chat with Team Keep It Clean. Anyway, today the Ravens, they had a presser. We've been missing these pressers. I know we got a little mini presser yesterday, but we got another one today. And it started off with Mr. J.H. Not John Harbaugh, but Justin Houston. And he talked about, as far as the defense, he said they're not where they want to be at right now. So they still got some room for improvement. And we certainly know that they do in the tackling department. And by the way, they will be in pads again today to work on that tackling. Now, on that one drive against the Broncos, that padded practice did not work. But throughout the game, it certainly improved. Every other drive besides that one, they tackled a lot better. I guess they were just, I don't know what was going on. Maybe that drive, they were just testing out some new stuff. I don't know. Anyway, he said the key with the pass rush is just staying consistent and putting yourselves in pass rush situations. And what he meant by that, which he clarified, he said that's stopping them on first and second down. Cause you stopped the team on first and second down. It's like, ooh, third down, especially third and long. Oh yeah, let's go eat. And they ate. Cause they got, what, five sacks. Adolfi away had one. Bowser had two, which I didn't even know. I thought I knew he had one, but I don't remember the second one. Justin Houston had one. And I originally didn't even think that was a sack. I thought he just stopped the quarterback. I did not think he stopped them behind a line of scrimmage. I thought the quarterback had passed a line of scrimmage, but boy was I wrong. And then at that fifth sack, I just still don't remember who it was. So my apologies. Anyway, he said that it was nice to get his first sack as a Raven. And he said, hopefully there are many more on the way. And yes, I think every single Raven fan would agree with you, Justin Houston, that we hope that there are many more on the way. Now they asked about, what are you going to do when you get that 100 sack? What's going to happen? Are you going to celebrate? You said no. He said he does not intend to celebrate at all, but he said he does plan on asking who, whatever quarterback it happens against, he does want to ask, can he get the jersey? He said he don't even want the ball. He said he wants the jersey. And I was like, oh, I never heard anything like that before, but I like it. Cause this is who you got to say, like the ball for somebody who got a sack, it doesn't mean as much because the ball, it just, no, if it's your hundreds, touchdown or something like that and you'll receive a hundred Russian touchdown, whatever, okay, that's one thing. But if you're a quarterback, but on defense, your hundred sack, yeah, I can understand why he would want the jersey. And he also said that they asked him, was there ever a time when you felt like you were going to go back to the Colts? And he said in my mind, no, not at all. So well, I should have asked him if there was ever a time he thought he was going to go to the Steelers. Then that would have been a different question. But anyway, it has been working out. So that was the first JH. The second JH also spoke, and that was Mr. John Hardball, the head coach to Baltimore Ravens and Mr. King Petty. Mr. King Clapback. Cause you know, he got Vic Vangio together this week. But anyway, we've all moved on. He said that, cause he was asked about if, when did he become aware that the Ravens were close to the record, that they were approaching that Russian record to get all those running games in a row, all those hundred yard rushing yards, all those hundred yard rushing games in a row. And he said, he doesn't even remember when he first became aware of the streak. He said, maybe this year, but he said, he didn't know. He also commended the offensive coaches with how well that they've adjusted with all the injuries that they've suffered. And you know, Ravens have had a lot of injuries, especially on offense, cause again, Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill, Ronnie Stanley, Rashad Bateman, Miles Boykin, and the list just, it goes, Nick Boyle, of course. And the list just goes on, but they've handled it. Tyree Phillips, that's another one, but they've handled it pretty well. And for them to be in the position that they're in right now, it does speak volumes to the coaching staff. You gotta give credit where credit is due. Harbaugh talked about how they'll be, they'll need to be ready for how people defend them because it can be something different every week, because he was asked about, oh, so now people are defending a passing game. They got to actually worry about the passing game. And he said, yeah, that could change from week to week. And it's true. Somebody could be on point defending a passing game. Okay, you gotta have that running game ready too. You just gotta be ready for everything. And yeah, he expressed that. He said that reporters, they kept bringing up the success of the passing game, but Harbaugh just said, yeah, that's cool, but we just trying to focus on winning the next game. So that, them just concentrating on the next opponent up. It seems to be something that's resonating throughout the entire team, but it does start with the head coach. He also asked about, and this was a really good question. He said, when Bateman and Boykin come back, how do you balance the crochet and Duvenay's playing time? And that's a good problem to have. But I'm sure the coaches and stuff, we'll see what they do. We'll see what they do. Cause you know, like right off the bat, Bateman, he gonna get his, but he just gonna get his a little bit. But eventually, like that's your first round pick. So, you know, he's gonna leap frog Duvenay. He's gonna leap frog crochet. He's gonna leap frog Miles Boykin. He's gonna be ahead of all those guys. Cause he's the first round pick. First round pick, you ain't gonna have him just sitting on the bench, just sitting there chilling the whole, no, you invested in him. So you want a ROI, you want that return on investment. So he's gonna be out there. When it's his time and once again, once he gets comfortable and more comfortable. Yeah, for sure. And that was that. And of course he was asked about Rashad Bateman and he gave the answer that we already know. Even though it's all sides are pointing to Rashad Bateman playing this week, but nothing has been confirmed. But he did say like, oh, we'll have to see where he's at and all that and all that. Coach talking. So, next up was LJ Lamar Jackson. The first thing he was asked about was his book. He said, his book is about dreaming. His book is just about people dreaming whether you want to be doctors, whether you want to be this, whether you want to be that and people just going for it, going for whatever their dreams might be. Harb's earlier, he has said that Lamar Jackson was not 100%. So somebody said, I think it was Jeff's rebuke, but I forget who it was. They were like, so Lamar Jackson, John Harbaut just said, you're not a 100%. So what percent are you? He said 101. I said, ooh, that boy, that boy took some PR classes over the years. Cause y'all remember Lamar early on with PR, with interviews and stuff. And I mean, that happens with anybody. With anybody, the more that you do something, the more you're going to get comfortable with it. But that answer right there, I was like, all right, 101. Okay, I love it. And then that's a little bit of that little pettiness in there too, but I appreciated it so much. He said, he was asked if there was any thoughts about him wearing extra pads since all the late hits that he's been taking. Ain't nobody saying nothing about them late hits. He said, no, he's ain't trying to look like no transformer back there. But he said that all quarterbacks in the league should be protected, but football is football. He said he knows that guys get aggressive and they probably don't mean anything by it. But to him wearing any extra pads, he shut that down right away. He talked about the Money Night Football game with how he knows the fans are gonna be ready. He says, when he sees them in the street, when he sees them in the store, they already hiked in, but so as a stadium, he knows it's gonna be crazy there. And that should be a lot of fun. I'm gonna have to turn up the TV a little extra loud just to try to get a little glimpse of it. He was asked about how gratifying it is when defense is sell out to stop the run, but you can still beat them through the air. And he said he's a quarterback. He said that's what he's supposed to do. He said that's his job. He said he's happy that guys can make plays through the air too. So he's not like, again, with Lamar, he hardly ever focuses on the self praise. He doesn't focus on the self praise. They always give credit to other people. He was also asked about his outside the numbers, the improvement with him throwing outside the numbers. And they asked him, what changed? What happened? How did you work on improving that? He said, just practice, that was it. Now, somebody asked him, I think it was Jeffrey, because he asked him about the bill's playoff game. And he started, and he said that game is way out of my head. Way out of my head. That was way last year. He said, we ain't worried about that. We ain't thinking about that. We locked into this year. And like, a lot of times, I don't even think about the bill's playoff game, myself, even as a fan. So, you know, players move on a lot faster than we fans do. So the fact that me as a fan, I'm not thinking about it, then I know this is way past Lamar. So anyway, he was asked about the injuries and the fact that the team, this team isn't the team that they expected to have going in, meaning that there was supposed to be a lot of different people who were here, but they're not here due to them being hurt. But he gave credit to EDC in the front office. He said they did a great job of bringing guys in to replace people because they obviously had to do that. And again, stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. But in this raving situation, all these injuries that they had, oh boy, there was just no way that you could be fully ready for that. But they have done a very good job of making adjustments, of making replacements. And again, just having guys that are ready. He said he was super proud of how Duvenay and Pro Shae have come along. And he said he's actually been proud of them since last year because the reporter asked him, how proud of them have you been this year? But he said he's been proud of them since last year. He talked about the kick return that Devin Duvenay got last year on Monday Night Football against the Chiefs. He talked about just watching Pro Shae, how much Pro Shae has been working. And he brought it up again. He been the first one there, last one out. And he said he's happy that Pro Shae has been getting because he's well deserved, but he's been getting that playing time. So shout out to him for being patient and continuing to work. He was also asked if he was practicing today. He said, yeah. Then he asked if his back impacted the game last week at all since it was hurting. He said, no, it didn't impact the game. He said the day that his back was hurting, they held him out of practice and then they held him out another day just so he could get a little extra rest. So he said he's fine. And then with the officials, he said when he talks to the officials about like, hey, why y'all not calling this? He said they don't even bother looking at me. I was like, ooh, these guys are guilty, but it is what it is. So Lamar is definitely not protected as a quarterback with Lamar Jackson. I feel like they treat him as if he is a running back that just knows how to throw because running back, they obviously not protected but they get the ball off on handoff. So on catches and on runs and whatever. But Lamar, it'd be one thing if just he wasn't protected when he's outside of the pocket and when he scrambles but he's not even protected inside the pocket. So just something to keep an eye on. And this is why even more by your offensive line is that much more important because they offer you the first protection that you would get. And that's protecting guys from even getting to you. But when guys, they get a little dirty, they get a little nasty and you lay hits and whatnot. That's part of the game. It's part of the game. It's not unfortunate part of the game, but not everybody plays team, keep it clean. Now we remember this, remember in 2019 when teams just, it was just clear as day. And even like, comment like Tony Gonzalez even said it when he was like, oh man, the way to start Lamar Jackson, you gotta hit him. You gotta injure him. And I really, I remember when I saw that on TV, I was like, he really said that? He really said that. This dude just really said that. I couldn't believe it. I was like, wow. And in the 49ers game from 2019, then the builds game from 2019 where they were just blatantly hitting Lamar Jackson late. You can see it was clear as day, man. But it's the game, man. So up next after that was Marlon Humphrey. He was asked about his podcast. He said it's been going real good, but he said sometimes it's hard to talk for 40 minutes. I don't feel, I feel like I'm on the reverse end of that. It's hard not to talk for 40 minutes. So anyway, he said as a rookie, cause he was asked, aren't you shy? But when did you recently like come out of your shell? And he said as a rookie, he just kind of did what he was told. He didn't say too much. But he said the organization really promoted to be yourself. So that had made him a lot more comfortable. And now he's seen the IG live, we see him always talking, joking around, making all this noise. And he's become one of the more lovable characters on the Ravens, one of the more notable characters on the Ravens cause he is very outspoken there. Jeff asked him last year with him not playing against the Colts, does this game mean that much more to him? And he said, well, I wasn't even thinking about that. And I forgot that he ain't played last year against the Colts. I remember he was out for that one game, but I did not remember which game it was. But Jeff Zeribic reminded us all of that. Now with Anthony Averett, he was asked if Anthony Averett situation in Alabama with how he had to sort of wait his turn to play if that helped Anthony Averett in this situation. Cause it's the same thing he's having to wait his turn to play. And all of a sudden he wasn't sure, but at the same time that he wasn't surprised. He said, Anthony Averett, the way that he's been playing is no surprise to the players. He said it has been a surprise to the fans, but to the players, he said they knew Anthony Averett could do this all along. So it was no shocker to them. He talked about Carson Wentz. And he said that Carson Wentz doesn't give up on any play. And that is true. Carson Wentz, talk about the injuries and all that. You can talk about turnovers, but yeah, that dude is a fighter, straight up. He is a fighter. And he mentioned how he said he's a guy that you got to play all four quarters with. And they brought up the game last year against the Eagles. Raven's wild big. They were out to a big league. It was like, all right, we coolin', we chillin', we vibin', whatnot. And the Eagles just started coming back. They started coming back and coming back and coming back. Then it ended up being a super close game. It's like, oh man, Raven, why y'all had to do that? And yeah, it came down to the very last play, the two-point conversion. And then before, four years before that, when they played Carson Wentz in 2016 at M&T Bank Stadium, that game came down to a two-point conversion. So Carson Wentz, he plays, he's Raven's hard, man. He does. So Raven, when they play him on Monday Night Football, they gotta be ready. Again, stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. Game preview coming up very soon, by the way. Y'all stay on the lookout for that. He talked about when he watches Lamar, Marlon Humphrey, by the way. He said when he watches Lamar Jackson, he said he's just grateful that he doesn't have to go up against him. He said he never wants to play against him. He said that the Broncos, they did a really good job of stopping the run. And he said that he was actually stat watching because he wasn't sure if the Ravens were gonna get that 100 Russian yard record in the game against the Broncos. But he said that he thought that the Ravens initially didn't get the record. And he said it's a testament to John Harbaugh and how well they've done with the team and the roster that they were able to get it. Cause it says a lot about the offensive line, despite all the injuries. He said he was even ready for them to put him out there on offense. And he said, not even to catch the ball. He said he didn't need the ball to come his way. He said he would have been willing to just go out there and block. So, hey, he can't be mad at somebody like that, man. And then he was asked about Lamar coming out to the whistle, to Omar's whistle from the wire. And he said he wasn't a fan of the wire. So he wasn't familiar with the whole whistle for when Lamar came out for the entrance. And he said, hopefully he doesn't get too much heat for that. And it's crazy because we always say timing is everything. Right when he said that, as soon as he said that, that's when Ravens internet just went out and the stream just started messing up like crazy for like the next like five minutes. So it was like in and out, in and out, in and out and it was out for a while and it just went crazy. And somebody made a joke. They said, oh, did somebody pull the wire? I really appreciated that joke so much because that's like a top tier, high quality premium dad joke. So I loved it. Anyway, Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Thank you for watching. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to spend with us for these however many minutes this was. I love you, I appreciate you. I hope y'all had a really great day. I'll see you later on. We out.
