 Okay, before we get into this I got to ask y'all a question. Is it true or is it more true that numbers don't lie? Or is it the true that numbers don't tell the whole story because it can't be both, can it? Because if numbers don't lie, then that's it. The numbers are what they are and you can't fight it. Or if it's that numbers don't tell the whole story, then yeah, the numbers may be what they be But they don't really give you the entire picture You know what real quick before we get into this video. Let me go throw on my Superman jersey one second Trace McSawley shout out to him man. Anyway, YouTube team keep it clean What's going on the same grave and here with another video and real quick new? this It's not a Billy Cundiff jersey cuz I know some people might have saw that seven and had flashbacks I ain't mean to bring that up, but hey, it is what it is anyway It's funny because my god nitro brought it up to me in the comment section the other day when I mentioned how would trace I feel like he didn't do anything too special in the in the game But my god nitro pointed out. He said wait a minute, but when you When you talk about dad's Brian a lot of times you talk about dad's Brian's heart And even when dad doesn't make a play like in the Steelers game there and dad's Brian still shows heart You give him his credit for it So let's do the same with trace and at first when I saw that comment. I was like nitrogen. What you're right You're right you're right and One of my favorite plays from the game the other night from trace McSawley wasn't even a touchdown pass I mean, I love that but that wasn't even it the thing that I loved about trace McSawley Was on that fourth and two the one they actually went for remember that one It was after they went punk crazy and whatever but they like somebody pointed out to me They they obviously trusted their defense more than their offense, but we didn't already talked about that We done voiced our frustrations with that. So that's over. That's the past but When they went for it on that fourth and two I didn't like the play call But they got it and it worked it. I guess that that was just a night Well, I just did not like a lot of the play calling and sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't but I just hated it and But at least with Greg Roman at least he's consistent at least he's consistent because I for sure thought that with Greg Roman I'm like, okay with RG three. He's gonna be calling plays different. Nope. He didn't with trace McSawley He might call plays different. Nope. He didn't anyway on that fourth and two that they went for Trace McSawley, it was a QB keeper. There were no other options. It was not a passing play whatsoever Gus Edwards shout-out him for a beautiful block, but trace McSawley ran He ran he got the first down and he got a little bit extra and then here comes Mink of Fitzpatrick running boom Got a nice hit on trace McSawley and it was a it was a close one But it was not a penalty and the refs did not throw a penalty. I mean, hey, it's the Steelers They weren't gonna throw a penalty anyway but It was very close and looking at that looking at it live. You could have thought hey, man That's a flag. That's a flag. That's a flag and a lot of quarterbacks They would have been like hey, that's a flag. That's a flag. That's a flag trace McSawley Did not complain Did not whine and just kept it moving and as a matter of fact, he got up and he was talking to Fitzpatrick He was like, yeah, what's up? What's up? I got this whole squad with me. I'm with it, man I said, okay trace and I don't know if y'all watching the live stream. I was hyped right there with trace I was like, okay I'm about to go fly the Pittsburgh right now. I got your back trace even though I would have got there a little bit late But anyway, I did love that exhibition of heart from trace McSawley and Now like we said at the beginning of the video Is it that numbers don't lie? Because if you were one of the people that feel like straight up numbers don't lie The quarterback with the hot that leads the league Better than Aaron Rodgers better than Patrick Mahomes better than Deshaun Watson better than Russell Wilson The quarterback that leads the league in QB rating It's trace McSawley It's trace McSawley Trace McSawley now this is what QBs with a minimum of six attempts this year So all of those guys with the criteria those are the numbers. So trace McSawley is leading the league Numbers don't lie, right? Now if you want to flip it and say numbers don't tell the whole story Well trace McSawley against the Steelers. He went two for six seventy seven yards one touchdown One of his completions. The first one was to Devon DuVernay. I believe good throw. Good pass. Good catch Devon DuVernay called it got tackled right away and the other pass was to Hollywood and Yeah trace McSawley threw it on a dime And he wasn't even trying and he hit Hollywood Hollywood made a couple a little quick move and then that was all she wrote That was all she wrote Now for me, like I said in the video, obviously, I think Hollywood did more work for the touchdown than Trace did But hey Trace still had to throw the right ball at the right time in the right spot So Trace had to put in just as much work on that pass that as Hollywood did because think about it Had that pass been a bad pass had it been a bad pass but a catchable pass Hollywood could have still made the catch But he may not have been in position to make a move after the catch and then get a touchdown And that was just a beautiful thing to see because us as ravens fans. We've been so used to these ravens They'll make a catch And then they go down They'll make a grab And then they'll go to the ground They'll make a reception And then they'll get tackled immediately These ravens just have not been getting the yards after the catch Um, but that's another topic for another video a whole another conversation But how did Trace look today? Obviously the numbers weren't pretty he threw two passes that should have been in interceptions But they weren't so, you know, we ain't complaining about that And then he also threw two passes that were completions one of them going for the touchdown Now his very first pass it came up short But then you got to think about the entire situation Because you know what we like to do on here because that we can have a lot of um Immediate reactions and immediate feelings to different situations, which is fine because again, we're human But with our imperfection Sometimes we have that those immediate reactions and these immediate thoughts That would probably be a lot different if we actually just sat back and assess the entire situation And that's something that happened to me This past wednesday night. So we are saying this past wednesday night and talking about a football game I and I actually I enjoyed it being on wednesday afternoon. I loved it, but That's the selfish me loving it that that me personally I loved it But I know for a lot of people it's just it's not a good time at all Because a lot of people are at work some people are at school Some people are doing this and doing that in a wednesday afternoon game Like it just it doesn't sit well with most people like even just a weekday period, but anyway With trace mx soli when when we take when we step back and really assess the entire situation This was his very first nfl game In regular season because we obviously saw him in pre-season last year and there was no pre-season this year So we didn't get to see anybody in pre-season this year, but anyway This was trace mx soli's very first nfl regular season game He was playing behind a beat-up offensive line It's hired offensive line because they had just been playing for three and a half quarters And he came in there And one thing that I loved about his game because again the numbers weren't pretty Two for six seven seven. I mean a but again leading the league and passer raider. I mean qb raider but anyway, um The one thing I loved about trace mx soli in this game Is that he showed heart And he wasn't scared at all the moment wasn't too big for because that was a big moment It's a divisional game against the stealers a top defense a fast defense And against the team that we all offense just really hadn't been doing too much of anything against We obviously missed on a few opportunities some key opportunities that ended up coming back to bite the ravens in the long run in the game Oh boy, they could have won that one But anyway, um the the moment didn't seem too big for trace came in there and he did his thing now Um on twitter yesterday somebody asked me should trace mx soli start the next game against the cowboys too And initially I was thinking like what? Um, huh? Is this a troll comment because I and I and I told him that too. I was like man I I thought you were trolling at first. But then I read his entire comment And no, I do not think trace mx soli should start it only if lamar would be out if lamar was out Okay, I understand And now something to think about it is a different it is a much different situation Isn't and it's a much different position Remember that mark engerman jk dobbins. They were eligible to return They were eligible to come back. They could have played in a stealers game, but the ravens said no And obviously jk dobbins is their guy Because you know how what makes it official that jk dobbins is their their number one running back because even madden Even in madden They got him listed as a number one back and when I saw that I was like, oh, I can't believe it But anyway, um, they they continue to hold those guys out now again quarterback situation is much different So it and it's obviously a much not I can't even necessarily say much more important position Even though it is but it's just it's just different so If lamar jackson is clear It's lamar jackson, obviously But if they do not clear him or even if they clear him and decide, you know what lamar Get some rest this game. We're going against the cowboys. We think we could take them If they decide to just roll with trace and rg3 and tyler huntley It's got to be trace It's got to be trace It has to be now back to my guy's comment on on twitter when he said should trace start the next game He said the reason being And I think he was even talking about if lamar was healthy He said the reason being because he said lamar only uses about 35 percent of the field He said lamar will only throw to the middle of the field But he said with trace mcsoley trace trace trace will attack the outside too He'll attack outside the numbers as well So he'll attack more of the field than lamar would And I was like, whoa Who's here buddy? um But no I trace the only way trace starts is if lamar is out If lamar is not out then lamar starts if if he's if he is out then trace starts But that is something that um now lamar he's been throwing outside the numbers too now He's been throwing outside the numbers, but and he's been spreading the ball around too He's been spreading the ball around a lot more But with uh with the big play to hollywood something that stood out to me And I know it stood out to some other people too Is that we notice how hollywood It wasn't just a deep shot to hollywood because that's all the ravens been doing with hollywood with with with lamar with rg3 It's just been a deep shot to hollywood and that's it They threw him a couple of outrouts and whatever just but on that play he came back to the ball I think was actually a comeback route So they didn't just say holly all right hollywood go fly Run ruck be gone with the wind go And we'll hit you no They had him run about maybe like 10 15 yards come back trace Hit him boom made a defender miss yak touchdown You got to do more of that man Don't just have hollywood just We know he can fly but it can be more than that you can find him ways to get him the ball so he can get an open space And you would think that these are professional coaches. They should know this stuff by now We who aren't even professionals at anything we know this stuff But for some reason the ravens coaches staff just can't seem to get it together when it comes to hollywood And i'm not saying that hollywood is not at fault too on on some of the mishaps that have been happening And lemar he holds some of the blame as well because he's missed sometimes when they have actually sent hollywood They just say hey go and lemar has missed them but Let's let's scheme this thing up. Let's scheme this thing up the right way Because that could go a long way that anyway chase mix oily um Good game good stuff And I think he really established himself as the ravens number two quarterback And we knew that I see a lot of people saying oh man, we should try to trade rg3 Rg3 should be out of here after this season. He needs to be cut. He needs to be gone. He needs to be this He needs to be that But rg3 his contract is up after this year So he is going to be gone anyway And I there was nothing in me that saw the ravens resigning him after this season uh Especially because of trace So we'll see how that ends up working itself out um, but trace trace. He just in that game. He reminded me of um bren renner bren renner A guy that you know doesn't have a shot at being a raven starting quarterback But somebody that you really root for and you hope they get an opportunity somewhere else So we'll see what happened. I know it was just small sample size, but still man um You you love to see people go out there and show a lot of uh, just heart and just a lot of just wheel man So shout out to trace shout out to number seven mr. McSawley I appreciate y'all shout out to y'all. I love y'all and just like rg3 probably is with the number two spot with the ravens i'm out
