 Baltimore Ravens, this is it. Get it done by any means necessary. You literally have the heart of the city in your palms So everything that you do will affect it but speaking about heart of the city heart of the city clothing They trying to hook y'all up with these run to Vegas hoodies. I know you're gonna get yours I got mine. It's your turn now, too so in order to get it click the link down below in the description and use code engraving to get 20 20% off of your order, but speaking about getting 20% off We ain't trying to give these Texans no discount off of this win We trying to charge them the full price for admission and then for them exit in MIT Bank Stadium with the loss But how are the Baltimore Ravens gonna do that? What do they need to do in order to get the job done? Well, I Couldn't think about how they could do it by myself So I had to call up two friends and I had to get the key I had to get the lock and I had to go way down to the vault and open that thing up and look what was inside So you keep it clean two very extremely special guests in the building They were voted both locally and nationally as Baltimore Ravens content creators best Guest guest getters because they get the best guests in the world. This is Bobby Baltimore Sarah Ellison from the vault. Y'all already know who they are cuz y'all done seen them literally everywhere doing everything talking to everybody But they've taken the their time to come on here to speak with us and team keep it clean about these Baltimore Ravens How y'all doing today? I Think I'm doing better than Bobby Oh, yeah, yeah, well, I guess we better take everybody in behind the curtain then shall we We were supposed to do this. Yeah, we were supposed to do this a couple hours prior And I try to give you as much notice as possible You know when you have a dentist appointment or any procedure for that matter and you go in thinking that it's gonna be like standard or routine like I thought that that was gonna be the case today for a simple Chipped tooth from snacking on some nuts earlier on in the week, and I thought it'd just be a simple filling Well, it was anything, but it was like a full-on procedure Crown temporary crown no vacane and then what Sarah's referring to is yeah I had some serious discoloration post no vacane injection. So I look like a freak in the selfie that I sent you guys So yeah, this should be a fun one and I guess I can ask you some questions that I wouldn't normally ask and get some Different type of answers. So we'll see how this thing goes Speaking about routine speaking about the wind things are normal, but they're not so normal anymore That is the transition from going from the regular season, which is routine Everybody has to get through that to now going to the playoffs where not everybody makes it and of course the Baltimore Ravens They made it to the playoffs, but they didn't just make it to the playoffs But they made it as the number one seed so they've been sitting back Why everybody else has been battling it out and now they have the privilege of going against the Houston Texans And that game should have all of its challenges But bottom line the Baltimore Ravens need to get it done What are some things that you all have seen from these Baltimore Ravens that let you know and let all of us know that This is the year and they're gonna get this job done Well, I think number one it starts with the talent. I mean Everything else is you know supports that and whatnot, but I think the talent. I think that Eric Dacosta put together a roster that is worthy of Super Bowl contention Started as you know, ying all the way back when he first got obj which led to Lamar which led to You know a draft where he got Zay added Aguilar He's he's added pieces on the defense the guys that are sipping from the fountain of use So I think first and foremost I think this is the most complete team The Ravens have had since drafting Lamar Jackson and I think it's more complete than 2019 second of all, I think that The second thing that makes me feel more confident about this team is 2019 And the experience that that was for many guys on this roster starting with Lamar Who were just like it just seemed like it was I don't know just it just felt like it was going to be so smooth and no conflict and whatsoever And then they got punched in the mouth and never was able to recover And there's myriad reasons for that with that we won't revisit but That has stuck with them that sticks with Lamar Jackson Which is why you see him not celebrating a single achievement all year Doesn't matter if you blow out the the dolphins or the 49ers like all of it He acts like he's been there before And it's like it's what we were supposed to do we've done this before doesn't matter The mission isn't yet complete. He is laser focused on the Super Bowl This isn't just like the most complete. We've seen the Ravens in the Lamar era This is the most complete we've seen Lamar himself And sarin, you know kind of hinted at a couple things there That I think make him the most equipped well equipped that he's ever been To do what he couldn't do or what this team couldn't do four years ago And I think when you take a look at just structurally too what the last couple weeks have been I know we've spoken about it a lot. We even talked about it I think with you on our state of the ravens last week They have kept things as routine as possible right as as structurally sound as possible and even Kind of bulk things up from four years ago in terms of how they're going to handle their buy How they're going to handle the regular season finale? Okay, we're going to go down to the stadium during the buy weekend and have a stadium practice so we can keep Whether it's psychological or not We can keep our guys in it as much as possible and keep that rhythm Hopefully so they can pick up where they left off not in the regular season finale But of course the win streak prior to that so to me, you know this this Lamar Jackson mentality that we've talked about Whether you want to call it mamba mentality like or just locked in which has become the theme of the year It's contagious. It's trickled down all throughout that locker room And uh, look, I think you cannot certainly look past Houston because they're playing fearless And sometimes when you have a young rookie quarterback and you have a first-year head coach who have absolutely nothing to lose They've already overperformed right and exceeded expectations. There can there can come challenges with that But this team to sarah's point is a lot different than four years ago Whether it be the talent that they have Internally the personnel or just the way they play the game so sound all three phases well coached And you think that you can just get the sense that and maybe we're biased because we watch this team every single week But but you just get the sense that history is not going to repeat itself this year Yeah, for sure. I I don't see it repeating itself at all because this team is different like you both just mentioned You spoke spoke about lamar jackson just how he's been focused. So sarah highlighted it with lamar jackson He you get a possible mvp broke. He breaks records like every other week He's always doing something phenomenal always doing something crazy Blowing out teams left and right beating great teams left and right, but after each game you just see this straight face His smile maybe a little bit, but nothing too crazy And as opposed to 2019, I mean you saw them after every win They were jumping around celebrating and I have a problem with that and there's nothing wrong with that But obviously these baltimore ravens, they know that the regular season is a regular season and yeah be happy about it But yeah, that's not enough That that's not where things stop now with the houston texans coming into town Against the baltimore ravens. What kind of threat do you feel like the the texans pose to the baltimore ravens? I know bobby you just talked about it them being a young team young quarterback And they've been playing some outstanding football But what are some of the threats that you feel like cj strata knows houston texans? They could pose to all baltimore ravens first and foremost just I think you think the way that Cj first and foremost like the way that he performs under pressure I think he's not the same quarterback that that we all saw that the ravens saw in week one There's no doubt about that But one thing that they did kind of they disrupted him early right they got five sacks a bunch of pressures on top of that I think that's going to be a key piece of the puzzle for the ravens, but he's just he's just so sound You know going through his reads. He's not afraid to pull it if he needs to so Um, I just think that the biggest threat that cj strata in the offense poses is their fearlessness But but the ravens defense can counter right they can absolutely counter They've got all three all three um all three levels Fundamentally sound and ready to go to handle that they've got some plain making injuries by the way um On the outside for houston that we'll have to monitor over these next couple days But that to me is the big like I said, I think their biggest Threat that they pose is their fearlessness and cj's ability to just he looks like a five to ten year vet in the pocket He's got great pocket awareness. He's got great. Obviously his His mechanics and his arm are well documented, but he's also an athlete. So Um, he's he is your you're fully He's got your prototypical quarterback traits But also he can do a little bit of what lamar does when not the same rate obviously that lamar does But if needed he can Yeah, so uh, I live in columbus, ohio now. So obviously cj stroud well known here osu and And to bobby's point. He he doesn't that he performs well on big stages. We saw that Uh throughout throughout college and in his career and lamar jackson. This is how you know somebody's confident It's when you can give compliments to other people, right? And so uh yesterday He was asked about cj stroud's first playoff experience and he was like, well He did better than I did like he did he did better than mine was he just wasn't he wasn't afraid to put that out there So yeah to me, um, I don't know that you're gonna rattle cj stroud But I do think you can try to confuse him and I felt like against this, um In terms of yards per game Browns were number one They started to use the browns aggressiveness against them. It's almost it's almost like they knew the aggressiveness was coming And so I'd like to see um, I'd like to see mike mac Uh do what he's done all year and and disguise his looks show one thing presnap do another post snap And try to show cj things that he hasn't done before now on the flip side Um, obviously lots have changed lots of things have changed and and I remember I've been pretty sure runny stanley got hurt in the middle of that first game and right now We're in this rotation at that right tackle, but if lamar got sacked something like four times and Um, there just seemed to be lots of pressure and so to me to me this offense Will explode if they give lamar enough time back there Just just just protect him and you know number eight's gonna do the rest. So, um, you know, they've got they've got You know some pressure back there on defense And I'm sure you know And I'm always interested to see what people are gonna say How do you contain lamar and the past it was like oh keep them in the pocket keep them in the pocket? It's like all right. Yeah, let's do that Let's play that game and see how it turns out. So, uh, I'm very interested to see how they they play lamar But to me the number one thing is make sure qb one is protected and I think everything else Will will come together after that Oh, yeah, for sure that that protection is everything and lamar jackson is a cheat code Because like you mentioned, yeah Teams have said that before and some fans even still say the same thing like oh if our team keeps lamar jackson in the pocket Oh, we're gonna beat those Baltimore Ravens But a little do they know a little do they pay attention a little have they seen that lamar jackson in the pocket He'll dice you up He'll dice you up you give him time. That's a wrap like somebody I forgot who it was they tweeted a picture And they were like if you see lamar jackson standing like this And there was a picture of him with a clean pocket just standing there then it's about to be trouble for you And it's it's the truth because that's that's what happens every time lamar jackson when he's given time Is is game over so hopefully the Baltimore Ravens They can have a much better outing with the same result as the week one But a much better outing from the offensive line and this is a much different Offense itself than it was in week one We know the Texans are a much different team as well But specifically with the Baltimore Ravens this offense has their leaps and bounds better than they were Way back then because that was way at the beginning of the season now We're not at the end at least not for the Baltimore Ravens. It better not be But we are at this point of the season the division around in the playoffs now With all that being said and done With everything that we've talked about thus far with this game against the houston texans How do you all feel? This thing is gonna go. What do you think the end result will be with the Baltimore Ravens taking on these houston texans? Sarah we'll start with you. Yeah, bobby and I do predictions. We've done them every week pretty much It's gotten to the point for me yin and I I remember and I said this, uh As As long as lamar is playing I said this going into the miami miami game when you know, there's concerns Say you're coming off this emotional win on christmas day in san francisco Now you got to come all the way home you get another team that's and in retrospect it seemed like an easy pick But I was like at this point, how do you pick against them? How do you pick against lamar jackson at this point with the way he's been playing in december? And so, um Just can't do it. Just just can't do it. I and and not only can can I not I don't think I I would even flirt with it. Like I just feel like as much as I respect this houston team as much as I respect Uh demico ryan's and what he's done as much as I respect with cj stroud and what he's doing and how his Uh career trajectory is pointing all the way up as much as I respect all that I just don't see how you can look at this ravens offense and this defense and and look at what they did to san francisco And look at what they did to the jags and look what they did against miami and the way they've just been clicking To me Uh, the ravens are gonna win this and I think that lamar Showed yesterday when he was asked by jerry sandusky. Hey, you guys have scored just you haven't scored more than 20 points Uh in your four playoff games. What do you what is your confidence level? And lamar is like Very confident Very very confident Extremely confident, you know, and it's like this guy this guy's about to go off So I I see something in the 31 Uh to 24 range ravens. Okay, bobby. How you feeling about this game going up against the texas I'm going 30 to 20 ravens. I think it's gonna be It's gonna feel a lot closer I think it's gonna feel a lot different than it did in week one I think the demico ryan's they haven't watched his press conference has a tremendous amount of respect For lamar and what this offense commands, but being that he's so Not far removed at all from his playing days I think He's a leader of men and he's got those guys humming in that locker room But they understand like what what you need to do in order to contain lamar. Well, they understand how to do it It's another thing to execute that and he's just playing at such a such a rate such an mvp level that They go as he goes. We've seen that throughout this year We've seen that throughout the lamar era And now we finally get to see in january What the investment Means that they made the front office putting playmaking ability around him Hopefully something they continue to do as needed throughout the next five years But we finally after last year we saw mark andrew's lining up on the outside We finally get to see a heavy dose of playmaking ability for lamar Let's see what he does it in january prime time audience for 30 espn Inside the bank you've had the buy to get yourself, right? You've won the division Right, you've had a chance to watch i'm sure a bunch of houston tape from week one and also the way that they've evolved and morphed Into this playoff caliber team that nobody saw coming And I think all that you know look would not be don't get me wrong I would not be surprised if if there's some I don't want to say rust But some struggles out of the gate But I think that they learned from four years ago and they're able to overcome that much like they have With every narrative that's been attached and labeled to this team Whether it's lamar or the ravens can't come from behind or whatever that is They've shattered every single one of those and I expect them to shatter the whole lamar post season narrative on saturday Man, you both made some really really good points. Bob You just talked about how the ravens have uh, they've crushed a lot of the narratives that have been put out there About them and sarah you mentioned earlier Just with the baltimore ravens how they've shown like Before there may be some worries off of them coming like off of an emotional game Like the one against the 49ers. I remember I was thinking it That's why I was a little like a little shaky about the game that they played after the rams game because i'm like man That rams game was just crazy and just draining for for us as fans while we watched it was draining for us I can't imagine the players being a part of that and just going through that emotional roller coaster from the what third and 18 or third and 17 where lamar hits they flowers for the touchdown Then the two-point conversion that followed that but that not even being enough because the rams drove down the field kicked the field Go then they went to overtime and then just the craziness and the tylin wireless pump return for the touchdown I was thinking man that the ravens won that game. So if coming off of a game like that I get it I get it if they lose I don't want them to lose but I would understand but they didn't Like the baltimore ravens have been a completely different team this year We've seen them operate just at a completely different level. So hopefully in this game against the houston texans that will do nothing But continue vote Sarah bobby appreciate the both of you's time appreciate the both of y'all coming on team keeper clean I already know y'all know who both of them are but if you don't for some reason if you've been living under three rocks Then i'm gonna uncover those rocks for you subscribe to that channel is every everything is down below in the description I will have both of their twitters down below in the description Everything the youtube channel their twitter the pocket all that good stuff down below in the description to make it easy for you But I know that you know who they are already appreciate the both of you's time Thank you both for coming on any closing remarks before we get out of here Hey, we love you ing you're the goat here on youtube.
