 Baltimore gets ready to head to Detroit this coming Sunday. One of the biggest things we'll be looking for from the Ravens is consistency You two team keep it clean what's going on is engraving here with another video and in this video We're here to talk about the game We got coming up against Jared golf and those Detroit Lions now in this game We are facing the much different looking Lions than what we faced over the last eight years because before It was Matt Stafford in the Detroit Lions and obviously when you make a big change at quarterback like they did That plays huge dividends to your team I mean look at what the Ravens did when they made a big change at quarterback and how that worked out for him but with Jared golf Starting off with him. This is a quarterback that is capable of getting it going He is he's been to his Super Bowl quarterback not a Super Bowl winning quarterback, but he's a Super Bowl quarterback He's played well enough to get his team to a Super Bowl in the past Now he is in a much different situation He is in a much different environment and not as a shot to the Lions anything like that But I feel like the expectations are much lower With him being in Detroit, but at the same time that can make him that much more dangerous That can make the Lions that much more dangerous now in this game The Lions their biggest offensive weapon in my eyes is Hawkinson the tight end Hawkinson And the Ravens biggest struggle is The middle of the field They have struggled for years to just protect the middle of the field to cover the middle of the field Tight ends have feasted On the Ravens, and I mean you look at the past two games Darren Waller, he was the Raiders go-to Travis Kelsey. He was the chiefs go-to Hawkinson is the Lions go-to and you know that he's their go-to weapon And they are going to go to him often and early So in this game What I want to see is consistency and when we talk about consistency Last week against the chiefs Travis Kelsey was just beating Malik Harrison all night And again couldn't be too mad at Malik Harrison because that is Travis Kelsey But at the same time the Ravens they made adjustments A little late and it was better late than never but they ended up bringing out Chris board So I would expect them Especially because you want to take Hawkinson out the game from jump You don't want lions getting into any kind of rhythm whatsoever I will bring Chris board out early If that's going to be your cover linebacker, that's your best cover linebacker I will bring him out early or even have Tyus Bowser Try to cover So between those two or even bringing in safety help to cover Hawkinson whatever you got to do Make them go somewhere else with that football do not let Hawkinson be their number one target Remove him from the game Because for the lion if Ravens can make The Hawkinson like if they can take him out of the game That will make things that much easier now staying on a wink on the defensive side of the ball I expect him to blitz Now I know a lot of Ravens fans like oh, no, no, don't blitz don't blitz You see how it worked against Patrick Mahomes. Look Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes Jared golf is a completely different quarterback than Patrick Mahomes and the Ravens cannot Have this mindset where they like all right. No, we just not gonna blitz at all Now, of course, you still want to have success with a three or four man rush But at the same time I expect him to blitz a lot more this week than he did last week and last week They just didn't want to get burned. They didn't want to get burned. They didn't want to get beat They just did not want to get taken advantage of due to the blitz But this this week I think they'll have a lot more confidence In the blitz in the blitz possibly even getting home But and and how effective that blitz can be against a jaren golf now With the lions the ravens first priority in every game Our defense is to stop the run. It's a stop to run And of course the lions have deandre swift, but they also have probably one of A guy who's got a lot of new fans In the in the nfl from all of his takes that he's put out all his videos and stuff that he all the clips that you've seen of him And that would be uh jamal williams And he has become almost a household name because initially he was somebody that I was not aware of until I kept seeing all the videos and stuff Um, and he has obviously has a really good sense of humor But I want the ravens to not have him smiling at all this coming sunday They need to That tackle tackle because week one And in week two two They've been struggling with tackling that has been the tackling has not been clean, man So they need to wrap up like wrap up tackle from jump Patrick queen He has certainly struggled over the past two weeks when it's come to tackling And another thing too with just he's been getting pushed back So we just want Patrick queen and go extra hard in the weight room this week Because he will continue to be tested. It's going to be like that all season. He's always going to get tested He's a middle linebacker So he's got while he will lead the team in tackles He's going to continue to be tested and you want your middle linebacker to be somebody that's going to wrap up And bring these whether receivers whether to be tight ends whether to be running backs quarterbacks Whatever you want them to bring the opponent down Down you don't want to get him pushed back. You don't want them missing tackles You got to bring them down because a miss tackle Can change not only a play, but it can change a game safe instance two-yard completion And the linebacker wraps up tackle. Okay, two-yard completion. Cool But safe instance is that same two-yard completion linebacker misses the tackle The running back or wide receiver they break and that two-yard completion ends up being a 15-yard completion Or even a 20-yard or even a 40-yard or a 60-yarder Could we seen it before but we don't want to see it again So Ravens have to tackle and tackle well Marlon Humphrey and Anthony Avery They need to just continue doing what they've been doing Marlon Humphrey The golf will not be afraid to or hopefully they make him afraid and hopefully they don't give him much time to But he's going to have some deep shots. He's going to try some deep shots Whether it be on Marlon Humphrey, whether it be on Anthony Avery, whether it be on Devon Young, whoever it may be on He's going to try it So Marlon Humphrey and really Anthony Avery too. He wasn't tried with any deep passes last week But um, it's important that they get their heads turned around It's important that the tracking on the ball is on point this week because although Detroit is still early in the season Now Detroit hasn't been looking like a good team But all it takes is a couple of sparks and a little bit of confidence and the team that's on two They can have all the confidence in the world, especially if they play in a team like the Ravens and they get some stuff going Especially the through the air That's all it takes So Ravens need to make sure that does not happen And for the most part this year As far as the deep ball They've been uh guarding the cover in that pretty well. No Marlon Humphrey did give up the touchdown last week against the chiefs um and He did give up the touchdown in overtime against the Raiders Uh, but overall Besides those couple of plays Ravens have been covering the deep ball Well, so hopefully that continues right now as of the recording of this video We do not know the status of one to Sean Elliott. He did leave The game on Sunday night against the chiefs with a concussion So we'll see what happens with him Brandon Stevens came in But then he got benched for geno stones So we don't know what the status of the safeties is as of right now So we'll know that maybe by the time you see this video Or not. We'll know that over the next couple of days um In pass rush A die fair way keep doing what you've been doing Keep doing what you've been doing and it's important that wink wink finds mismatches Uh and wink just really lets his guys get after and lets his guys stay out there so they can get in the rhythm You see a die fair way. He was out there a lot. He got into a rhythm. He got better. He made game changing plays And this guy is a rookie. He's not playing like a rookie, but he is a rookie This is first year in the nfl and he's been making his impact from jump So it's important that Wink as much as we talk about it with offense it has to happen on defense You got to go with your hot hand if guys out there making plays they out there looking good Stick with them. Yeah, you want your guys to remain fresh You want to have a nice rotation and all that but if a guy's hot leave him in let him do his thing Um, so that will be that will be pretty much it with for the Ravens defense Now, um special teams Justin Tucker, this was the team that Justin Tucker kicked that super long field goal on Monday night football against Obviously different team different coaches different quarterbacks different players different all that stuff, but Same franchise Justin Tucker. We just expect him to continue doing uh what he's been doing And just the consistency Sam cook I don't really expect him to get a lot of action I know over these past couple of weeks. I believe in both games. The Lions have allowed at least Five touchdowns each And in their first two games of the year Uh, so with the Ravens I expect them to continue that. Um, I expect I expect this game to be something like I had expected week one against the raiders to be Um, I want to see those week one Ravens not the 2021 week one Ravens, but the normal week one Ravens Where they just come out They're strong They they they're firing away. They're taking advantages or mismatches and they just they dominated Now I do expect this to be a game that's really dominated by the Ravens I expect their offense to do really well One thing that I'm going to look for the consistency like we talked about but the consistency With both hollywood and sammy walkins, but also Use this game to try to get devon duvenay involved a bit Maybe even a little bit of pro shape maybe some wireless I know it's only one ball and it can't really go around to everybody like that But try to sprinkle in some duvenay a little bit here and a little bit there Just to get him going because you don't want him to be cold And not that he can be so cold because he is on special teams He's a punt and kick returner But you want to get him sprinkled in on his offense because you know duvenay he can make some plays happen So I want greg roman and lamar jackson to find a way to get devon duvenay involved Something with lamar jackson since we're speaking about offense an improvement that I want to see from him In this game is the deep ball The last two weeks he's missed a couple of opportunities with the deep ball With hollywood against the chiefs He missed early on in the game. I think first drive he missed the deep ball Then the following play end up throwing an interception So if he would have hit that deep ball then that interception doesn't happen But that's why every play made it matters that much more and if you're missing deep balls If you're missing the long shots, then you leave in points You leave in yards and you leave in all of that stuff on the field and you can't do that No matter what team is against you cannot leave and you end up leaving points on the field So you can't do that And and speaking of lamar too not just with the deep ball, but we we need to see The turnovers stop Because if we look at the the raiders game two fumbles loss We look at the chiefs game two interceptions And both of those turnovers all four of those turnovers, excuse me turnovers from both games They kept the opponents in the game You eliminate those two turnovers in in each game Ravens are probably two and oh And they are probably a convincing two and no two Especially over the chiefs Because again, remember when the chiefs touched and not to say they're patching with homes You know patching my home they could could have easily got a touchdown back, but you never know Because raven spotted them a touchdown with that pick six So lamar Got to cut down on the turnovers have to Because that's that's not gonna fly if it kept up like that all season It's not gonna fly especially come playoff time But in order to even get to the playoffs you got to cut down on the turnovers And I don't expect him to go out here to turn the ball over twice every game That's not lamar football They have just been some unfortunate circumstances over these past two games But I expect them to clean that up big time Because they they cleaned up the fumbles because he was getting tackled On a Sunday night football against the chiefs. So they cleaned up the fumbles. He didn't fumble the ball But the the interceptions that that can't be a thing um Tyson Williams Ravens need to continue riding with him continue riding with the hot hand Tyson Williams is going off against the lions ride it out Ride it out. Of course, they're gonna sprinkle some more Devontae Freeman in here too and Latavius Murray. He'll still be in there as well But ride with that hot hand now Tyson Williams. He needs to continue doing what he's doing except he needs to start with the fumbles The fumbles again turnovers are an easy way to keep a team around Especially when it's a team that not and this again know this respect to the lions But especially if it's a team that shouldn't be hanging around with you That's an easy way to keep them in the game easy way So Tyson Williams got a hold on to that ball I hope ravens give him the alex collins treatment to where they really work on those fumbles because it's so Big and and that can really propel his career that much forward respect. He got to take advantage of this opportunity You don't get opportunities like that. He's he's not even supposed to really even be here right now Well, he probably would have ended up being a third running back But this situation should not even be happening right now because we're supposed to have gusts It was we're supposed to have jk dobbers even justice hill But the situation is what it is obviously so he got to take full advantage of it in the fumbling. He got to cut that down So I expect him to continue doing what he's doing. Patrick record Uh continue being a nice lead blocker They've been moving him out at tight end and all that putting them next to the the offensive line And he's been blocking well. So that's the known for Patrick record and speaking of the offensive line Will this be a game where we get ronnie stanley back? I don't expect it, but hey, we'll see But the offensive line has to continue to block well open up them running lanes and keep lemar jackson up right Protect him. They did a great job of doing that against the chiefs Like you wouldn't have even known that frank clark Or christ jones even played in the game last week You wouldn't have you wouldn't have even known by the way that the offensive line was protecting lemar just great They did a phenomenal job of it. I was just shocked and I was glad to be shocked Especially for how they were against the raiders the previous week But um that that needs to continue that has to continue because Everything starts in the trenches everything starts with the offensive line everything starts up front So that offensive line they they have to be ready Mark andrews I expect a bigger game probably a bigger game For mark andrews in this game then he got combined the last two games I expect mark andrews to have his sort of break out his coming out party This week against the lions And him you know him and hoggerson They they're gonna be going back and forth. They're gonna be watching each other. They're gonna be watching each other numbers It's double. Oh, okay. He did that. All right, you know, let me try to do this But I think mark andrews gonna get the best of them simply because ravens just It's weird to say it but they have more weapons They have more weapons And of course it all starts with the quarterback position lamar jackson is a weapon himself But then everything's surrounding him. I think the ravens are built a little stronger than the detroit lions are On offense So it's up to them to take full advantage of that for greg roman to get different guys involved and again just continue The consistency the offense has to continue to put up drives Stack points man stack drive stack points keep moving that ball downfield Keep moving it downfield We don't want drives stalling out. We don't want drives to get stopped Do we expect them to score on every single drive? No We don't would it be nice if they do? But you don't expect them to but I do expect them to overall Just have a great game um as far as the score prediction for me uh I would say probably 30 38 I say 38 17 something like that. I think this would be The first decisive win of the season the first convincing win of the season For the ravens and it just I think they they really got a build off of that kc game Now I know that that game was emotionally exhausting. It was a lot So ravens could come out of this game and start off a little bit slow Just based off of the last game and just everything that that was but I do expect them to really Get rolling both on offense and on defense and again if they can take out hawkinson If they can take him out of this game That will put them just in in phenomenal shape and if they not only take him out But also if they can consistently get to jared golf That will be a huge difference maker For the ravens, but I do expect them to win this game I'm not overlooking the lions at all because it is any given sunday as we know Because we've been on both sides of the football with ravens expected to blow somebody out And like again, well, there was a jaguars game monday night football a long time ago. I forget the year We just knew them ravens are gonna tell you what they're gonna destroy the jaguars ravens lost like 12 to 9 or something like that Offense just could not get it moving defense was holding it down. It was an ugly game and jaguars end up winning And then we've also been on the flip side of it too And ravens expected to get just dog. They expected to get beat like the playoff game against the broncos The mile high miracle And then even the following week against the the patriots like the afc Just the the the kings of the afc at that time. They were running the show And ravens obviously took care of business And then even in the limo era too We've seen it Ravens expected to blow out this team here and there. Oh, they don't do it But then they they expected. Oh man ravens could lose this. Nope. They flipped the script So you just you just never know but I do expect the ravens to Take care of business uh in detroit. So team keep it clean. I love y'all I appreciate y'all looking forward to a really really good game uh from baltimore and hopefully they Hold it down. We out
