 Raven still got the press are going on right now as of this recording But I heard all I needed to hear and that is no disrespect to hardball mark Andrews a Chuck Clark Oh, whoever they'll whoever else they have speak, but I heard all I needed to hear from today and Somebody asked a hard-hitting question. I think it was Jeff's re big But they asked a question hardball. What's up with Lamar? Do you expect to get Lamar back is Lamar gonna practice what's happening with Lamar and hardball said? We do expect him to practice today and it was like, oh, okay, but It wasn't it. He said it should be on a limited Basis so it's very important and it's fun I had to do another update because we just when the Ravens announced all those people who got activated from the COVID list We made a video on that and it was it ended up being Chris Trevler that ended up being a quarterback that they activated And I saw a lot of people in the comment section my guy. What's the B word? He was like, man, I'm going back to bed and somebody else was like, man I was anticipating a Tyler honey Lamar, but then this was it. They're like, oh man Boy y'all they got those shades sometimes man, but um We should have figured something was up because with the whole COVID list and with the Ravens They don't never like cuz they had Garrett Downey make a video yesterday I hadn't even seen it until a little while ago but they had Garrett Downey make a video yesterday about them possibly getting a quarterback back and We should have figured when we saw that that should have been the indicator like, okay It's probably gonna be Lamar reason I say that because Ravens don't ever make no videos like that Never when do they make like an anticipatory video? I don't even know if anticipatory is even a word But when do they make a video like that where it has you anticipating? What quarterback is gonna come back? They'll never do nothing like that unless it would be somebody with the drill deal So we should have figured and then I remember a DD King Kabawa the reporter who used to cover the Steelers a lot She still does a little bit, but she's been heavy-covering the Ravens for the last couple years But anyway, she had even said she was like, oh Ravens fans. I don't want to get you too excited But I she's like call me crazy, but I would expect Lamar Jackson to come back this week in practice I was like, I said don't don't get us started because it was too early in the morning or whatever morning. She wrote that I said don't get don't get us started But this is uh, it's big news. It's very big news now My concern was always been my concern and a lot of y'all called it so many y'all called it, too And I hope I hope that y'all are wrong the ones that said it but so many y'all said With the Raven situation being what the Raven situation is a lot of y'all like watch the Ravens rush him back Watch the Ravens rush him back to where he's not even a hundred percent yet But the Ravens bring them back since they have the playoffs on the line that their playoff hopes are not done and They are they're alive. They need to win out and they also need some help They have some likely help Because the dolphins they got a tough schedule. Can they win nine in a row? Because they said what they lost seven in a row then they won seven in a row Can they actually win nine in a row though and when these last two? Anything's possible till it ain't possible no more. So we'll see how that goes And then you can get some help from the bingles. You can get some help from Steelers Brown better. Anyway Ravens they got a shot But that shot it starts this week with the Rams Now we know how Josh Johnson did again huge shout out to Josh Johnson Loved how he played loved it. Yeah, he made his mistakes here and there But again context is everything this dude had one day of practice with the ones just one one day of practice with the ones and He's only been here for what a week and a half something like that and the way he came in and just Straight down the field and just the efficiency the confidence. He didn't look shook didn't look scared none of that stuff loved how he played But they know that with Josh Johnson. It's limited now with Tyler Huntley and he could still come back. Oh, that would be so great That would be so great Because it's possible that the Ravens this week in practice and Tyler Huntley's can come back as early as tomorrow But the Ravens in practice this week. They could get back both Lamar Jackson who they'll get back today And Tyler Huntley so they would have all of their quarterbacks back now Expectations we got to talk about expectations Um With Lamar Jackson, they said he'll be practicing on a limited basis a limited basis So that's not a full goal. That's not a full practice It's possible that it starts limited and it gets ramped up throughout the week It's also possible something to keep in mind It's all but you know, you know these Ravens man. You just ah, we'll see I just I really hope that they don't rush him back I really hope he's not rushed and I really hope he's not rushed Like I said in the last video you find out that a lot of your friends You a lot of Ravens fans friends that you find out that how much of medical experts they are When certain players get hurt whether they've been through it They got the injury themselves before or whether they know somebody that had or whether they know about the injury They know what causes the injury. You know what makes the injury better. They know what makes the injury worse They know all about the injury But with Lamar, I just hope the Ravens don't rush him End up making it worse. I hope they don't rush him for the short term and make the injury worse for the long term You know, of course Lamar wants to play, you know that but I'm sure that him his mom's his agent I'm sure they they they know they they understand what the situation is. They already know I mean, you know He's gonna get paid regardless, but still Gotta be smart Gotta be smart Ravens on their end to gotta be smart guys to Do not risk your franchise quarterback For a couple of gay and I know the playoffs. I'm not one of those people. That's like, oh man, just tank We're not gonna do anything anyway Even though like I said, I understand the people I understand their reasoning and a lot of people's reasoning It's not even because the Ravens have such a depleted team Their reasoning is because they want to see some significant changes made and if the Ravens make the playoffs Then they know those changes will not be made and even if the Ravens don't make the playoffs a lot of us Know those changes will not be made regardless but anyway Don't Don't ruin your franchise quarterback for a couple of games We remember RG3 his rookie year and I hate when people call Lamar RG3 Because couldn't be further from the truth But it's the example of RG3 his rookie year came in lightning lightning I came in striking everything. He was on fire. I think he got rookie of the year too. It's crazy him and Andrew luck They both yeah, they got drafted at one and two why that's wild, but anyway RG3 came in hot He was making all these plays. I remember watching his first game live against the Saints and it was like, okay Let's go. Who was this guy and um? but Later on in the season against the Ravens. He got hurt against Lody Nada Lody Nada This is a nasty hit that he took in his leg kind of just did a little parentheses and he was out for a little while He was not ready to come back He was still hurt But the Redskins at the time that was their name at the time before they were the football team whatever They season was on the line It was playoff time. They said, oh, come on, baby. I'm on back buddy. I'm doing buddy and he came through Changed the trajectory of his career Changed everything They rushed him back. He wasn't ready to be back yet He wasn't ready We've seen examples of it with Cam Newton. I know a lot of people like to call them while Cam Newton Again, it'd be further from the truth. It's completely different type of quarterbacks But Cam Newton, you know, he hurt. I think his throwing shoulder something. I forgot exactly what it was with the Panthers Panthers rushed him back. He wasn't ready He wasn't ready. They rushed him back and they wonder why he wasn't performing so well. Why he just looked off He wasn't ready. You rushed him back Changed everything. He ended up getting cut went to the Patriots and just it y'all know the rest of the story Now he's he's back with the Panthers and I was really that's that's what that's why I was so surprised that he went back to the Panthers because I'm like man, they did him nasty, but he was like, oh, you know what? Let me let me collect this free check from them. It'll be like retroactive pay or some or retribution or something Anyway, and then you look at now with a look look at Baker Mayfield In and even though like I just a lot of time they just been hyping up this injury and though if he's that injured Don't let him play don't let him play But you see what Baker Mayfield he got banged up bruised up batted up all that stuff They brought him back probably too early. Probably should just roll with Kingdom, but they brought him back and he just He's been looking like a big Yikes, but I know a lot of a lot of people will say he looked like a big Yikes Even when he's healthy. So that's a whole nother conversation. But my point when I say all that stuff is Don't rush your franchise quarterback back don't rush them back because The seasons are short the seasons are very very short, but these careers they're long and You just I don't want them to risk it. So we'll see how he looks today We'll of course hear about reports and stuff. Oh Lamar is walking gingerly. Oh, he's not walking gingerly Oh Lamar has tape on his ankle. Oh, he doesn't have tape mark with this ankle Oh Lamar Jackson just put two fingers up. They practice in two-point conversions. So we'll see exactly What and hear about exactly how Lamar is looking But I just want to make sure that everybody has realistic expectations for Lamar Jackson and right now It's tough to say because you you want to say like with him just being back in this injury ain't practicing so long You want to say you wouldn't expect him to play but at the same time if he's back and he's practicing it's I Just a scenario where the Ravens actually wouldn't play him. I Just don't see it, but I'm it does scare me. It really scares me It scares me for the right here right now and it scares me for the future as well Because you got to think about it now So so much goes into this decision and you got to weigh so many different factors one of those factors the play-caller We've seen a difference with Tyler Huntley. We've seen a difference with Josh Johnson We've seen with G roll here how he'll call the easiest stuff for him And there's been times when there had been some easier stuff called for Lamar But he'll miss it sometimes he won't take it but there's a lot of times when everybody like I Lamar All right, we gonna send everybody deep. All right Lamar make something happen make something happen And then you even see the the formations you see the personnel. That's one of the biggest things you see that is so frustrating the personnel's Because you see with Josh Johnson with Tyler Huntley. Oh, you got Bateman out here You got Devin DuVernay when he was healthy. You got pro shade. You got Hollywood. It's okay. Let's go You got Mark Andrews, of course. Oh, yeah, let's go But with Lamar you have Mark Andrews you have Hollywood and but then you'll have Patrick record You have Eric Thomas and you have Nick Boy and it's like hold up And they they were even flexing lay me on bail out there and Devonte and it's like whoa, wait a minute now Well, why don't we have our best weapons out there for Lamar? What did like and again the hope the Patrick recorded wider see the thing That has got to stop. It's got to stop. It ain't none against project Pat. We love project Pat Don't stop wasting a spot on the field for him at wide receiver. He's not a wide receiver. You have wide receivers You don't have a short at wide receiver. Let him be a fullback And because it's just so crazy how you seen the offenses the the efficiency And I know some people like oh, well, that's that's because Tyler Huntley and uh, John Johnson a pocket quarterbacks That's why you see it like that. It's a lot deeper than that my friends and we know Lamar He can be a pocket quarterback till he's shown that already But he's also showing you so much more and it seems like with Greg Roman since he knows Lamar shown him so much more And Lamar can do so much crazy stuff that as we have seen It doesn't mean every single play has to be crazy and when a play ends up being Lamar crazy Let Lamar make that crazy play. Don't try to force it QB draws cut him out Get rid of him eliminate those when I play book ASAP ASAP The RPOs I understand how the RPOs been down this year because there's not that chemistry There's not that rapport that Lamar got with these running backs like he had with a JK like he had with a Gus Edwards Like he even had with a Justice Hill. So understand that the RPOs are down. Okay, cool. I get that But the design runs for the QB Especially given the injury situation right now eliminate them all get rid of all of them every last one of them quick passes man Quick passes if if Lamar plays because it's like again I would say if he ain't fully ready to go don't let him play But I feel like the Ravens. I feel like this is just the beginning of them getting ready to let him play You're going against Aaron Donald That Rams defense that defensive line they can hit they can tackle they can rush they can do it all Your offensive line is not the best They're not So Greg if Lamar is gonna play this game They have to call the similar play style like they've been calling these past couple of weeks Short passing game quick passes. Everything ain't got to be a deep pass for Lamar It doesn't and it's so important and that's up to Lamar to to take what they give him It's up to him to make those quick decisions. We know he can do we've seen it and guess where we see him Make the quickest and the best decisions No huddle. No huddle up tempo offense But hey, they don't want to run off up temple offense. It's weak. What is this week 17 and It's it's like what why does it why is it for so much stuff that we see as fans? And I know there's so many people that oh man, you guys are just armchair GM You guys don't know more than the coaching staff But why is it that for so much stuff that we see as fans that we talk about as fans all the time It ends up happening way later down the road in the seats way later After we've been talking about it for so long. It ends up happening the way later and it works and It's like we saw it We saw the need for it. We saw the success of it We saw that it could have a positive impact on his team Why didn't coaches see it and if coaches saw it, why didn't they do it? Why didn't they implement it? It's just it's so crazy so many people always try to discount fans perspective and oh, no, that's why you're not a GM That's why you're not in the league. That's what But we say stuff not everything that we say is right You know sometimes we can go off the wall and I love y'all questions from subscribers And this week is gonna be another fun week of questions from so but anyway We say a lot of stuff that just it makes sense and it's not this super like rocket science stuff It's like oh, it doesn't have to be so complicated. No, it's simple fixes that we talk about and the Ravens They just oh they implement them way down the road And it's like y'all could have been doing this from a long time ago and had success Ravens cannot be stubborn upon Lamar's return They have to be willing to adjust. They have to be willing to make changes Please Y'all got to protect Lamar Lamar got to protect himself as well You can tell them throw the ball away It's fine And but the quick passes will help the offensive line so much it'll slow down the pass rush a lot They need to call that same type of game like they've been calling I mean minus all the two-point convergence. Okay, y'all know. I ain't done with that. But anyway Besides that They they got to help Lamar Hobart Lamar saves you It's time for you to save him we out
