 YouTube team keep it clean. Sorry to interrupt your national kickoff day for the NFL, but this news just got confirmed. Even we expected it, but now it's like official official. Adam Schefter just let us know, tests confirmed that Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters suffered a season ending torn ACL at today's practice per source. And then he tweeted the exact same thing for Gus Edwards, 16 minutes later, tests confirmed that Ravens Gus Edwards suffered a season ending torn ACL at today's practice. Man, when you just reading it, like it just brought up that feeling how we felt earlier, man, like it was just like, ah, jeez. It was a, it's such a big blow. These are two huge blows to the Ravens. Gus Edwards, again, undrafted rookie free agent in 2018, came through, put in the work, showed out. Then of course, 2019 was a big part of that. And then last year it was still a big part. And this year, oh, it's just wild, man. And it's crazy. I was just talking to my guy Kevin and he brought out the point that the Ravens they have not, this year's roster, they will not have any running backs that carried the ball for them in 2020 on the roster. Zero, none, nada. And they have lost all three of the top three running backs. J.K. Dobbins, Justice Heel, then Gus Edwards. And you gotta feel for these guys, even not, not even as a fan, take the fan part out, but you gotta feel for them as men. Because this is their means. This is their job. These are their careers. And they're obviously still getting paid for this year and whatnot. They're under contract, but at the same time, this can mess with your mentors, man. This can mess with your mentors big time because you could start thinking because you know the NFL stands for not for long. You know that. We know that. It stands for not for long. And you know, I'm sure everything is going on in their heads, thinking about possibilities with the Ravens and how the Ravens gonna move. Possibly thinking about how the Ravens are gonna do in their absence and how that's gonna affect their future with the team. It's just so much stuff that if it goes on in our heads as fans, then you know in their heads, it's probably just 20 times worse. And right now, some of the worst and most frustrating situations are the ones that you literally can't do anything about. Gus Edwards, again, torn ACL. Can't do anything about it. J.K. Dobbins, Justice, they can't do anything about it. And they have been just so many injuries with the Ravens this year. But see, the thing with it was that we were like, we were trending up. There was a part of the off season where we were trending up. We had got different injuries. Marlon Humphrey had the groin injury. Jimmy Smith, he had the what? The low ankle sprain. Rashad Bateman, he had the groin abdomen injury. And there was the Stemi Watkins. He had an injury. Hollywood had the hamstring. Miles Boykin had the hamstring. Dion Kane had an undisclosed injury. The list was crazy. But the thing about it was that, hey, okay, yeah, these guys got injuries. Sucks. But they weren't long-term injuries. They weren't season-ending injuries. It was like, okay, they'll be out a week. They might be out two weeks. They'll come back. But no. Now, all these guys are just getting put on injured reserve. And Marcus Peters too. He's gonna be there as well. And this, I think Marcus Peters is an even bigger blow than Gus Edwards. Gus Edwards is a very, very big blow. But I think Marcus Peters is an even bigger blow. Because now, excuse me, this changes the way that you play defense. This changes the way that you play defense. Because with Marcus Peters, you know what you were getting out of him. You know, he was gonna give up some plays here. He was gonna certainly make some plays too, though. You knew that for sure. And that was the style of cornerback that he is. He's a risk taker. Definitely a risk taker. Sometimes it paid off. Sometimes it didn't. When it didn't pay off, it's like, oh man, when it did pay off, it was like, oh man. But now you don't have that at all. Now his season is done. It's over. It's over. And I told y'all it hit that much more because we were just literally listening to this dude talk about how much he loved it with the Ravens. Loved it. He talked about how he noticed when he was with the Rams and they had the joint practice. He noticed that the Ravens, they just, there was this bond, man. That team bonding. And he said they did that with the Rams. He said with the Chiefs, they needed to do that a lot more. They didn't do it enough with the Chiefs. But he talked about the bonding that the Ravens do. And just when you hear this guy speak, you could tell he loves football. Loves it. And now the one of the things that he loves the most is taken away from. Taken away. Just like that. They said it was a routine drill. Just like that. It's over. It's over. It's done for the year. And then, not only this year, and we talked about how I can mess with their mentors, but then you gotta think about next year too. Like with this, there is no good time for an injury, obviously. But in these guys' cases, their season ending injury is happening right before the season is even starting. So it does give them extra time to prepare and heal for next year. But then you gotta hope it's no setbacks with that. And I mean, with doctors nowadays, especially NFL doctors and the surgeries and whatnot, I mean, Adrian Peterson taught us this lesson long ago that even for a position where you jump cutting and doing all that stuff and you really moving like that, it can be done and you can come back quick. But is everybody Adrian Peterson? That guy's a freak of nature. And the fact that he's still playing, I know he's a free agent right now, but still he ain't retired. So he just waiting on the phone call. But you gotta hope that these guys can bounce back and it's a smooth process when they do bounce back. But we are definitely rooting for them to bounce all the way back. But this is just, it's rough, man. It's rough. This does put more pressure on the Ravens offense. This does put more pressure on their defense too, obviously, but as far as the offense, because you expected J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards and Justice Hill to get some significant catches out of the backfield too. Obviously they were gonna be doing their thing as runners, but they were gonna get more involved in the passing game too. This really forces the Ravens to up the passing game that much more. So they gotta be on it, man. This forces them to really make some serious adjustments. Now, you did bring on Devontae Freeman and LaVion Bell. They're currently on a practice squad. They could be game they call-ups, because what, you can call up two people from the practice squad, or they may add one of them to the roster, keep the other one on a practice squad, or add both to the roster. We'll see. But I expect both of them to play this coming. Well, I expect both of them to be active this coming Monday, both of them. Because you, like with LaVion Bell, you could have been, oh, well, maybe he'll play. Nope, I know more. You ain't got no maybe roster. So, yes, LaVion Bell will get called up. He will get called up. And Devontae Freeman, yeah, same thing, man. Same thing. Now Trent Cannon, that speed that he has, it's gonna be needed. It is going to be needed. Whether it be special teams, whether it be offense, whether it be whatever, as a gunner, that speed is going to be needed and it's gonna be used. I mean, they put them straight on an active roster. They ain't even playing no games with him. And again, I thought it was gonna be flip-flop. I thought, okay, they talking about this Trent and Cannon guy. Oh, and they talking about LaVion Bell too and Devontae Freeman. If they sign one of them veterans, they going to the active roster and Trent and Cannon. Yeah, here you go to practice. Nope, Raven said, nope, uh-uh. Active roster Trent and Cannon, you on. So whatever his role is, he will have a role because he's on the team. With Lamar Jackson, I've seen a lot of people talk about how, man, Lamar Jackson, definitely gonna have to be Superman now. Hopefully, hopefully, yeah, hopefully he's still making Superman plays, but hopefully he doesn't have to do it all. And hopefully other guys step up too. He can get other guys involved. And really, I just, I really, really wanna see that impact of T. Martin and Keith Williams. I really wanna see that impact of Greg Roman actually having an offseason again. Cause again, back in 2019, I remember having a conversation a lot of times on here. After that season, like, okay, Lamar when 36 and six killed it, obviously, and they killed themselves in the playoffs, but regular season, absolutely just destroyed it. But I talked about how, all right, where do you go from here? And I really wanted them to evolve in the passing game. This was before the Greg Roman, the passing concepts and all that, and all the Kurt Warners and Steve Smith seniors and everybody getting on. This was way before that. We would always say, we want Greg Roman, how is he gonna evolve now? What's next? What's next? How do you follow that up? And then the offseason got taken away. So hopefully that was the reason why things didn't take that next step forward. The history of Greg Roman, it was say otherwise, but hey, hopefully history is rewritten this season with these Ravens. Cause they have, even with the losses, and it's been some tough losses and a lot of losses, but even with the losses, they still have a chance to do something special. Even with Marcus Peters out, unfortunately, even with Gus Edwards out, unfortunately, J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill, even with those guys out. L.J. Fort, they still could do some things this season. So it is going to be a season. And again, it ain't over till it's over. And it is far from, I mean, it ain't even get started yet. Well, actually it did tonight. Tonight the season officially started, but Raven season hasn't gotten started yet. So no need to be like, oh man, it's over. Oh man, it's done. Oh man, that's a wrap now. Oh man, I'm not watching football this year. You know you're gonna watch it. I know you just wanted to add a little emphasis to the comments and stuff, but you know you're gonna watch it. You're gonna watch the Ravens play. You're gonna be thinking about all the players that are missing and whatnot and it's unfortunate, but you're still gonna watch it and you're gonna cheer them on and you're gonna hope they do well and they're gonna do well. And they're gonna make this thing happen. Starts on Monday team, keep it clean. I love y'all, I appreciate y'all. Let's enjoy the rest of the game with these Bucks and Cowboys. And we'll see how that goes. Y'all stay safe, y'all stay up, keep your heads up, keep positive, and just keep vibing, man. We out.
