 This is it. We made it Baltimore Ravens versus Miami Dolphins for the number one seed in the AFC That's on the line this game tomorrow is everything man It really is and for the Baltimore Ravens. This one has to be personal reason being because the Miami Dolphins past two times that you played them they have been some very I Don't want to say historic games But they've been some historic games because those games have changed the way that a lot of people viewed your Franchise reason being last year The Ravens had a big lead on the Miami Dolphins in M&T Bank Stadium Had a big lead on the Miami Dolphins like all right We got it in cruise control Second half I think the Baltimore Ravens scored like three points But even still with them only scored three points in the second half They had a big lead in the fourth quarter. So like all right, we cool. We got it and what happened Miami Dolphins they kept chipping away at the lead chipping away at the lead Chipping away at the lead then boom tour throws a game win and touchdown Ravens lose Wow, we lost that game and that was a game where I just did not see them losing at all Then didn't see it happen Especially the way that it was going but they lost then the Dolphins Ravens game before that That was the infamous zero blitz game where everybody felt like all right. Oh, you just blitz them on then okay We'll be set now. We know that's not true But still it changed the way that a lot of people looked at the Baltimore Ravens in the game last year It made a lot of people feel like oh these Ravens they can't close it out And I mean last year they couldn't because there were a lot of games after that where they just did not close it out They have fourth-quarter leads, but yeah, well, you know the rest of the story. So this game This is personal for the Baltimore Ravens. It has to be Especially for Baltimore Ravens team that has continued to be doubting now There's a lot less doubters than here where before coming if you beat the San Francisco 49ers And you sitting at 12 and three how much doubt could there really be? But still this Baltimore Ravens team their mentality it has not changed and it doesn't need to Now against these Miami Dolphins This again is for everything and like I said is personal it's personal for me too cuz y'all know I'm down here in Miami So I got some family that's Dolphins fans. I got a lot of friends. That's Dolphins fans So it's gonna be a lot of chirping. I know what it already has been some chirping But actually most of them have been quiet because they know and with these Miami Dolphins They're a tricky team because while they got a nice record We know their record against good teams that goes in favor of the Baltimore Ravens But these Miami Dolphins they still a team to this that we like to deal with them now Jalen waddle He will not be in this game. He's already been ruled out But Tyreek Hill still there to is still there Raheem most of it's still there They still got a track team. So they are still gonna cause problems I know no Jalen Ramsey. He's questionable heading into this game with an injury Kyle Hamilton. That's a big one He's questionable heading into this game with an injury So there's a lot of people's statuses who we just won't know until his game time But regardless of who plays who doesn't this is huge. This is huge but I Have how I feel like it's gonna go. I think Ravens barely barely barely barely edge this one out I think it is going to be a stressful game because again, everything's on the line Everything's on the line. Well, not every everything but a lot is on the line for this one But in order to help me really get a different viewpoint on how things could possibly go I decided to bring in one of my favorite Miami Dolphins YouTubers shout out to my guy Doug. What is up ink? Raven and Raven fans First off, thank you so much for having me on the channel This game is going to be ridiculous every time the Dolphins and the Ravens play I always get nervous because in the past you guys have punched us in the mouth But as of late It's been a quite good rivalry between these two teams and right now is Seems like is the pitacle of what is going on It is the fight for the number one seed in the AFC who would have thought Who would have thought that Miami would be in this situation now Baltimore? I could see that you guys have been building something great But Miami not only that though you have the number one offense and the Miami Dolphins taking on the number six defense And the Baltimore Ravens and the number five offense Taking on the number four defense. This game is going to be Ridiculous. I think it's going to be a hard fought game I think what the Dolphins need to do is they need to focus on Lamar Got to keep him in the pocket can't let him run all over you and for you guys You guys got to focus on stopping our pass game and shutting down the run game I think this is going to be a close game and I'm hoping and praying that my prediction comes true And I have the Miami Dolphins winning this one Let's say 28 to 24 But I think this is going to be a really good game and most importantly regardless of who wins this game I won't both teams to come out of this one healthy because I know both teams are dealing with a ton of injuries And with the playoffs right around the corner, we both need to be healthy in the playoffs So regardless stay healthy, but hopefully the Dolphins pull off the victory and again in Craven Thank you so much for having me on the channel. So huge shout out to my guy. Doug Lee do wrong He is a phenomenal Miami Dolphins youtuber. He is extremely consistent. His stuff is quality He is on point so y'all make sure y'all subscribe to his channel Whether you a Dolphins fan or not because I stay in tune with what's going on with Miami through him So he got it on point now With this game coming up and with the Baltimore Ravens even though they've been winning a lot They've been doing that thing There's still a lot of questions surrounding the Baltimore Ravens and we still got a lot of questions from team keeping clean surrounding the Baltimore Raven So, you know what? Let's get into it first question came from my guy Caleb He said the question regarding the Baltimore Ravens wide receivers today engraving. I hope you and your family are doing well We are doing great. I hope you doing even better Caleb He said I know right in this pre 49ers game So I don't know if there's been any big or new plays regarding say flowers and for Shaw Bateman Some people may not like this but Rashad Bateman has not been good this year at all sure you can kind of say He's down there somewhere kind of receive a but other than that He's not good at anything else or he's being misused which I think he is you got to choose one Yeah, you got to choose one. You can't say I Rashad Bateman is not good But then turn around say oh, he's being misused you got to pick a side for me with Rashad Bateman I think it's just been missed opportunities business been missed opportunities from Lamar where he's missed them They've been missed opportunities from Bateman where he's dropped it. It's just been missed opportunities So I think um and then you guys say flowers who he been getting a lot of targets You got Odell Beckham, Jr. I mean, you don't pay him 15 mil just for motivation or just for hype or just for dancing You got to feed him the ball too So it's been a lot of other places where the ball has gone now Rashad Bateman has gotten some opportunities now But I feel like his opportunities are farther and fewer than the other two well, especially they fly I feel like every no ain't nobody touches a flower when it comes to target But we're shot baby. I feel like it's just been missed opportunities But let me continue with the question. He said We all remember the Cardinals game where he had that 18 yard amazing jet sweep He probably could have brought that to the house of the blocks of right I personally don't like how Todd Monk is using Rashad as a fly route and post route receiver only okay Well, there you go He said every time we see Lamar take the deep shot to him is overthrown But not with literally any other receiver other than a couple of those in the Steelers game Lamar never overthrows OBJ flowers or even Aguilar He has for flowers. He's overthrown him and OBJ OBJ he's overthrown OBJ as well. Yeah, he has he said these things a flower should be that kind of player to hit the frequent streaks and post and Rashad be the Beyond to catch screens and jet sweeps. I think I can just mix it up You can mix it up because you have receivers that can do more than just one thing And like you mentioned Rashad Bateman with the jet sweeps that that's a sprinkle in Raven's game Where it's like whoa like who would think a jet sweep was coming from a Rashad Bateman. Nobody would from Zay flowers Yeah, from Devin Duvenay the jet sweep King. Yeah, but from Rashad Bateman No, and don't do it with hotel back in Jesus. That's that's not for him But I'm Rashad Bateman. Nobody would see that coming but anyway continuing He said I think Lamar is overestimating Rashad speed but handles OBJ's and Zay speed pretty well Sorry for the extremely long question and hope everything is good what you shout out to Caleb. Um, Now, yeah, I just think we're shopping because it everything now I get what you're saying a lot of his stuff has been deep routes post routes go routes all that stuff But not everything like even we saw in this last game Rashad was working on the the the intermediate routes and there was one where he ran a nasty route came back to the ball was open Oh, Lamar put it on the money Rashad Bateman dropped it so Again, it's just it's a mix of a lot of stuff again Sometimes it's been a little more overthrowing them and missing them sometimes it's been Rashad Bateman Miss time in the board or dropping and then sometimes it could like you said be the miss you saw him as well So hopefully hey, maybe they saving some stuff for the playoffs Expression came from my gosh, honey. So what's up in gravy no ball as well I've never been so confident in the Ravens game in my life This game against the 49ers was a beat there all the noise that has been going on the media about this 49ers team It was so funny to me The media was acting like we were in under 500 team Lamar is a clear MVP and I'm so happy We were able to get this win just like they say walking your trap take over your trap Let's keep this momentum going for the rest of the season into the playoffs. I love it So it wasn't really wasn't a question. He was just letting us know how good How great this Baltimore Ravens team is and yes I agree. Hopefully they continue this thing all the way through the playoffs through the Super Bowl and Through the next season to next question came from my god BB He said the Ravens have only lost three games this season by a combined total of 12 points How are the Ravens considered underdogs in the game against the 49ers? It's pure disrespect that the media has so intently written off the best team in NFL Does the media figures not understand that Lamar is 19 in one world 21 now versus NFC teams in his career And the undeniable fact that Lamar is a dog in December not only that this defense is full of dog Since Roquan came to Baltimore this defense along with Mike Mac has completely overall Dominated their opponents the weak points of this team are overshadowed by the strength and ability to overcome adversity Unlike in other seasons this disrespect has to stop the media has to stop This 49ers team hasn't seen a Baltimore Ravens team like this all season So I'm ready for these Ravens to shut up these naysayers and haters John cities of old champs Hey, he was on point wasn't he wasn't because they they they they handled the 49ers big time Like in a major way. So hey you spot on and he also said no one say flowers It's a number one why receive for these Ravens. Is there an argument for offensive rookie of the year due to the outstanding play and chemistry He has brought to this new offense your thoughts. No, it's not because you he It would be extremely hard for him to compete with CJ Stroud Like Stroud is he's a quarterback like for and you know awards offensive awards MVP's rookie of the year those heavily favored quarterbacks big time So if they flowers, he's not gonna get rookie of the year, but hey, you don't need it If you buy to get a ring picking the rings next question came from tea dub who sent it to the wrong email, but This we at the end of 2023. So in 2024, we only send it to the right emails no more passes for nobody Anyway, he said I'm writing this after the 33 19 victory over the 49ers Would you say that after all the top standard teams the Ravens have been we can win the Super Bowl this year? Oh, no, we've been at we've been saying that from before the season even started We said that the only thing that could hold this Baltimore Ravens team back from winning the Super Bowl would be health That's it health So yeah, we've been saying that before the 49ers game before the Rams before all of that stuff We've been on this. So yeah, this team they help. Oh, they know Too healthy, but they healthy enough to get the job done. He said Our defense has looked dangerous our offense is strong, but it has its ups and downs. What do you think? That's true. The off where everything you said is true speaking specifically with the offense. It's crazy. How Yeah, they have the ups and downs they can be inconsistent sometimes, but they'll still put up like 30 points in a game That's insane expression came from my god, Terrence P. He said something interesting and nobody is talking about What's up in gravy up and following you since the 2019 season and this is only my second time that I've sent in a question Hey, hey the more you send in the Maria, but it's all good. I appreciate you He said keep up the good work and congrats to your family on a new edition come in your way. Thank you very very very much I said, okay now, let's get to it Something nobody's talking about is that three of the 40 the three of the four 49ers losses came against AFC North teams Oh Browns bingles and now the Ravens to me this proves that the AFC North is by far the best division in football Do you think this shows more about how good the AFC North is or how bad the NFC can be at times? Ah, I think AFC know, I think that's just them handling that business because It wouldn't necessarily show how bad the NFC is because 49ers are still a really good team. They're a great team They got beat down by the Ravens now think about this When the Ravens beat them they had everybody they had Brock Purdy They had Christian McCaffrey. They had Deebo Samuel. They had Brandon. Are you they had George kid? They had Trent with they had their guys But when the Browns beat them They had lost I know at least one of them But they lost it may be two of their top guys They had lost some of their top guys and I believe they did for the other games that they lost as well But I'm not 1000% sure but Ravens beat them for strength, but yeah, I mean so hey Anyway, next question. He said also speaking of the Browns. I know I can't be the only Ravens fan That's nervous about possibly facing Joe Flacco in the playoffs That man has been balling these last few games once again. Keep up the great work on the road to 75,000 subscribers Hey, I appreciate that Terence. Hopefully we do get there soon enough, but Shout out to Flack Flacco. Yeah, it's been a lot of a lot of conversation about Mr. Joe Flacco and he has been doing this thing over he been turning that ball over good amount of times too But he has been performing and getting that job done for the Cleveland Browns and they are in the playoffs And as of right now, they actually still have a chance at the number one seat Hopefully the Baltimore Ravens they take care of business tomorrow and they end any possible Brown chances and get that number one seed They end the Dolphins chance to get the number one seed and they claim it the Baltimore Ravens claim it as theirs officially so as far as Joe Flacco Look Ravens. I mean as a Ravens fan We was nervous for any playoff game in my opinion I still do the same thing Ravens gonna win a Super Bowl, but I'm nervous for any playoff game because it's a playoff game It ain't no regular season game. It's like hey, this is it. This is it. It's all or nothing literally ain't no Oh, okay. Well, we'll work on that and get back to it next week. No, this is it You either win and move on or you're done. Your season is over. So I'm gonna be nervous for every playoff game, but Ravens can't be nervous where any but like that in order to get to the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl You got to go against whoever you're going against the best of the best You're gonna get some teams who have established themselves as the best teams in the league and they made it to the playoffs They made it to the tournament So you got to take care business against who whoever it is. Yeah. Hey Joe Flacco been doing this thing But it's like all right. Hey Ravens just gonna have to give Joe Flacco in them Browns that little Sean Michaels to Rick Flair superkick next question came from my Guy Jamie B. He said Jamie be the boy Baltimore Raven also the long time ago that a hit dog will holler He said do you think Florio was Highland after all that backpedaling he's on December 26 LLL tough when you have to eat your words even though they don't believe in the Ravens team keeping clean Yeah, he that yeah, he he apologized and then he was like, oh, yeah The Ravens are gonna kick the mess out of the Dolphins now Don't say that now man. Don't say that now that you were talking greasy But it is what it is man. It is what it is Hey, I mean like my thing is I don't have a problem with people having their opinions on the Baltimore Raven or whatever team However, you feel like the game is gonna go. All right, cool But just the the reasoning sometimes that's where I could agree disagree But I still respect everybody's opinion, but yeah, he definitely had to eat his words for sure Next question came from my guy Java He said we got the best gift with that 49 is beat down But I still can't believe Hamilton fell down to us in the draft My question for you is do you see a scenario where we can retain all of our defensive players for years to come? No, not at all. Uh-huh. It's just straight NFL works. No Somebody gots to go you can't keep everybody you you never can He said imagine how special this defense can be if we keep everyone around for years. Yeah, so nah nope It's you can't do it. You you can't do it because That that's what the salary cap is for so players they get opportunity go play elsewhere Some some teams could be bad this year other teams could be good next like it stuff could change so much So no, he also said I have a non-raven question, but something else Ravens fan need to pay attention to is Joe Flacco in the Browns as of late. So have you been paying attention to them? Of course, we all have especially that being not only Somebody else in the AFC a playoffs even as a but a FC North team like Joe Flacco is right around the corner He's right up the street So, yeah Ravens, but you know Ravens fan been paying all attention to that Cuz it's like you just feel like we're gonna get that matchup like Lamar versus Flacco in the playoffs And we're gonna say this Joe. Hey, we sorry, but we really ain't sorry next question came from my guy Eli He said a engraving a file you ever since 2018 with Lamar was drafted and have been watching ever since hey I appreciate that Eli. Thank you. You say your videos always keep me entertaining up to date on the Ravens And I have always appreciated the level of respect you stand by You're a perfect example of how all sports fans should behave. Oh, man. You better make me get them Appreciate you man. I really do man, and I um, I do really think that is important I think it's important to have fun for sure have fun But yeah, do it with a level of respect for for everybody Because especially in sports. I know that can be hard for a lot of people because sports you talking trash Oh, my team's better than yours and this is why and then people saw getting personal and it's like nah We know his it's not about that. But anyway, I appreciate that He said what that means and my question is do you think Shannon shop has been too harsh on Lamar and his criticism this season? I see a lot of Ravens fans throwing shade in him for being hypocritical However, I don't see it then again I don't really watch every single clip nor do I watch all of them in their entirety Yet, I did see Shannon addressing these Ravens fans on his late night YouTube channel I can say I don't always agree with everything I hear him say But to say he has been too harsh. I'm not exactly sure if I agree with this either I'm just curious. Do you have any takes on Shannon shops critiques? And do you think he has been too harsh on Lamar like many Ravens fans have claimed that is a great question. Shout out the Eli Well, Shannon shop is critiquing Lamar Jackson. I think I don't think it's that I don't think Ravens fans problem Is that it has been too harsh or some of them have but I think with Shannon shops critiquing Lamar Jackson Is that it hasn't been consistent the way that he speaks about a Josh Allen The way that he speaks about a Patrick like with Josh Allen with Lamar Jackson turns the ball over Then he will be all over. Oh, he turned the ball over. That's why they lost. So that's why that's why this is that in the third But with Josh Allen, he'll view him as a hero even with the turnovers and stuff And with Patrick Mahomes like he'll be like, oh man Patrick Mahomes. He needs help at receiver He need better receivers in that but with Lamar Jackson. It's like the expectations like oh, no Lamar Jackson he need to just step it up if he's a real good He's a good quarterback like he says he is and like people say he is then he needs to make the receivers around him better I think that's what it's been. It's been so much inconsistencies, especially when excuse me When you hear Shannon sharp talk about other quarterbacks versus Lamar Jackson I think that's what Ravens fans biggest issue with Shannon sharp is next question came from be more Dre said angry. What's up, which Superbowl? Do you think I wish the ball story? Do you think anything? He said which which Superbowl story do you think the NFL will go with this year? He said number one Jalen Hurst lost a Superbowl last year and comes back to win it all the following year. No For the first time in NFL history, the Baltimore Ravens put together an all-black QB room And in their first year the team goes on to become Superbowl champions. Hey, there we go Let's get it, baby. The other ones don't even matter after that He said for my Superbowl MVP Joe Flacco comes back from being on the couch takes the Browns to the playoffs Beats his former team the Baltimore Ravens and goes on to win another Superbowl. No, no, thanks I said, or do you think they'll continue the Pat my home story and allow him to go on to be the greatest QB ever? No, no, I think Pat my homes and this the Chiefs this year. They are done I don't think they're getting it at all. Um, but yeah, no, I mean, it's it's time for the Ravens to get it Man, it's time for the Ravens to get it to shut all of that stuff up I should shut out all the noise and all that stuff and it's time for them to bring that third Lombardi trophy back button number one for Mr. Lamar Jackson a lot of other people too You could go with this or you could go with that next question came from Terry Terry said I ain't great. I hope you're in a family having a great time and God continues to bless you guys as we proceed into the New Year appreciate that T is that I had a question if that's okay with you So now you might have you might have a hard time selecting which one but what team do you feel as though is a better and more complete unit? The 2012 Superbowl Ravens or our current roster as of right now Mmm-hmm. Whoo better more complete unit. Um, wow, that is a good question This defense I think I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but I feel like this defense has been Better when it's come to points allowed and even yards But I feel like that defense I Feel like did they force more turnovers? It almost seemed like but I feel like that defense was more opportunistic Because why they I think they were like middle of they were like 16 17th overall in defense But I feel like they just forced him turnovers. They forced the turnovers at the right times Well, not even though this defense does the same thing too offense And they got special players everywhere like Gray Lewis was there with Roquan Smith is here now Erie was there Kyle Hamilton now not not comparing Kyle Hamilton Erie now not doing that but um, I Mean, it's a lot that we could and then you think about the past rushes to Terrell Suggs He was there Paul Krueger. So you had your David and Clowney Shawn. I was about to say Shawn Merryman I'm tripping I'm really about to say Shawn because I was thinking of Kyle Kyle for noise face And then I was like, man, he kind of actually look like Shawn Merryman a little bit. It was a light-skinned thing But anyway, um, that is a tough question. I don't know the quarterback got the flakko to Lamar Obviously a little more regular season thing. He got Joe flakko, but postseason Joe flakko, that's when he he would go crazy now. It's time for Lamar to go crazy this postseason running backs Ray Rice to um Gus Edwards Justice Hills Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill And Melvin got so running back state. They got it back then tight ends. Well, I mean Current like I say likely Dennis Peter. Oh Mark Andrews Dennis Peter. I go with that, but I'll get that to Mark Andrews Um It's tough. It's it's really a toss-up man. It really is. I mean even go through every position wide receiver OBJ, I guess that's sort of the Anquan Bowden. Just a lot more lively a lot more hype a lot more dancing involved Toys Smith, I don't feel like there's a receiver that compares to Tori Smith on our team right now Because Tori Smith the deep ball drawing a pass in the fairs is as they fly I know as far as drawing penalties I mean you get at the Odell Odell or say flowers, but as far as being that true consistent deep shot Not like Tori Smith. They they just play so differently than Tori Smith. I'm all to receive is now but Yeah, who are Jacoby Jones big return man? I Can't say Tyler Wallace is that he did get that amazing return against the Rams But Jacoby Jones was consistent. He was consistently getting these crazy returns and whatnot. So I don't know man I don't know that that's a really really good question Oh, and then he said if you were to choose a team both being fully healthy, who do you think will win a game? Oh fully healthy. Um, hmm Fully healthy, I would say these Ravens right now if we going fully healthy because they will get JK Dobbins back. He just like Ray Rice. They will get Keith Mitchell back with that speed. They will get Mark Andrews back They will get a Oh the slot corner Ardarius Washington back they will have Tyus Bowser to they will get a job old back They like again, we got a young we got a long list of people So that with them getting everybody back and then going again like that seemed really good now to me And I actually think the the season before the 2011 thing. I think that team was even better I think they were even better than the 2012 Ravens, but Minus the kicker Well, hey, what do we do a kicker? What do you do a kicker? You're gonna add Justin Tucker. Just be all-time kicker like they've been playing playing street football. Hey, it might work though But um, yeah So if I had to choose like to go when they go head-to-head, I would choose this year's fully healthy team That's a tricky question man He said hope you have a great start to the new year of lessons and trust appreciate you Terry Next question came from my guy to rail be first. We got a question from Terry. Now. We got a question from to rail He said I believe in shout out to you and your pops He said I believe coach Harb's and Lamar have both accomplished enough to get a statue in front of the stadium Especially after winning a Super Bowl this year Harb's will have to and Lamar will get his first and and another MVP and all his other accolades What do you think for Lamar? No not yet and me I'm not a fan of statues for people anyway, but that's that's a whole nother conversation but For Lamar um No, uh Yes or no I think that will more so be for people after they retire After they're done After it's all said and done after that's a wrap like I thought I think he got a statue at Louisville And he's done. He ain't going to school that normal. He ain't still playing there Um, so I think that's more so when people are retired We get they when they get to the Hall of Fame or something and and Harbaugh like Especially he gets a second Super Bowl Yeah, the Hall of Fame might well be a lot for him like for real think about it Yeah, that would pretty much that would make it a lot. I think Um, and then for Lamar, I think it would just it would have to wait until after it's all said and done Because hey, who knows he could add some more trophies to his case
