 Adversity you see the Baltimore Ravens of the past they've dealt with adversity, but they didn't deal with it in the best way We remember even last year They were going to these fourth quarters and have leads sometimes even double-digit leads and for a lot of those games They would crumble they would implode from within and they were loose and it was like what is going on with this? And they would do it so consistently last year and in previous years before last year to Injuries they faced so much adversity with injuries and they just could not overcome it at all But this year they faced some of those same challenges and hey There was some games where they did give up leaves because I believe there's a stat that says the Ravens in every game this year They've been leading in the fourth quarter at some point But of course to the Steelers to the Colts and then to the Browns they lost all super super close games But they lost nonetheless, but that's happened three times There's been ten times that the Baltimore Ravens have won so they are clearly doing something right Especially when it comes to closing out games We see this game against the Rams last week so many times in years past the Baltimore Ravens if it was last year's Ravens They probably would have lost that game But you see games like they had against the Cardinals where they had a big lead But the Cardinals they start creeping back they start creeping back But the Ravens they end up shutting the door. You see against the Chargers ugly game throughout low-scoring game throughout Game is close at the very end in the Ravens. They close it out So this Baltimore Ravens team is much better equipped to deal with Adversity and that leads us to our very first question that came from Kenyari Suggs adversity say what's up in Graven first off congratulations on another blessing to the family It's always a joy to hear that as news. Hey, I appreciate that. Thank you Kenyari said also did you know This is the only reason why I added the last name to this question from subscriber said to rail sucks is my cousin long story Hey, that's what's up a shout out to your cousin. By the way, tell him. Thanks for everything But let's talk I know a lot of teams are questioning our offense and our offense in play calling it etc. Lately, however, I'm a glass half full kind of guy. We lost to teams. We shouldn't have early in the season Adversity we have lost close games by two points to the Browns OT lost versus coach also a close game to the Cardinals No, who wasn't a top team at the moment being loose no Cardinals. No, no, no, we ain't lose to the car We lost to the Steelers. I think you might you must have felt like we lost to the Cardinals because that game Like it was a lot closer than it should have been at the end But now it was a stealer But anyway, I'm sure that was just a type of anyway and he said now on to the back end of the season We have won close games by field goals over time We have faced adversity this year and I like to say we have done well now Let's figure this old line situation out and let's get excited about this playoff run or should I say? Super Bowl run PS and oh, yeah, get well soon Kyle Hamilton prayers. Oh, yeah for sure So yes, you spot on spot on the Ravens have done a much better job this year of dealing with Adversity a much better job of handling it head-on taking it on because again adversity is something that's gonna happen And you think about life. We're gonna face adversity in life We don't like to we don't want to but if you just go through life and everything you just coasting You just surfing through everything's great And we love that if you hit a bump in the road you ain't gonna know what to do if you haven't been through adversity before but see adversity it prepared you for those moments and Just like with the Baltimore Ravens had they just been blowing every team out this year Like they did in 2019 had they just been beating everybody down and we would love that but then at the same time They wouldn't really have been battle tested But they are truly battle tested to this point of the season and they will have some more tough battles You got the Jaguars coming up. You got the 49ers. You got the dolphins. You got the stealer So you got some tough games coming up So the Ravens but going into the end of the season this very last part of the season the Ravens have definitely Dealt with their fair share of adversity. They'll have some more But this prepares them even better for the playoffs team can be clean before we continue with this episode of question from subscribers Make sure you subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on so you do not miss not one single video Not one single update not one single question from subscriber and also leave a like on the video because it helps out a whole lot The buy next question came from my god Oreo cookie said hello engraving. I'm conflicted now I just saw what the Ravens look like after a buy and we looked a bit rusty So now I don't know if we want to buy or not. I would like to know your thoughts after the game after that game Now I'm still with getting to buy all day every day. I know a lot of Ravens fans like no We don't want to buy that we look rusty like you just said and they think about 2019. Let it go. Let it go It is okay It is up to the Baltimore Ravens to be a top thing like think about this too Do you not want to be in the Super Bowl? Think about that because if you make it through the division around through the AFC championship Through the and if you win that to get to the Super Bowl is the Super Bowl the week after the AFC championship No, you have two weeks you have a bye week in between that so I don't want to hear people So we don't want to buy but you want to get to the Super Bowl because it just doesn't make sense Take the buy if you get it great if you don't get it Okay, great. You still know what you got to do It's up to the Baltimore Ravens to be as fully prepared as they possibly can to make their playoff Excuse me to make their Super Bowl run So it's up to the coaching staff to have them guys ready and it's up for the players to execute and go out there and do Their thing on the field so I don't want to hear that being scared about the buy and all that and hey Everybody in time to tell on the P. So I respect it. I don't agree with it But I respect it but They just got to be ready stay ready. So you ain't got to do what? Get ready next question came from my god more and who's a team keeping clean patient appreciated If any wall y'all would like to become a team keeping clean patron You know patreon.com slash engraving vids and if you don't want to that is fine as well Now you said it's been a minute since I sent a question or commenting It's been a busy season, but I just want to give a shout out to Gino Stone your David Clowney and Calvin No, I'm so happy the Ravens didn't do their usual We like our guys when it comes to the edge rusher position Well, I think they did like their guys But they knew that their guys were dealing with some injuries like Bowser wasn't the same David a job Oh, he was dealing with his little thing, but he played through it for a little bit But it just wasn't enough. But yeah, it worked out He said shout out to Gino stone for hard for showing hard work pays off from practice to starter He's been amazing really the whole team has minus some coaching miscues great job Oh Hey, man, yeah shout out to I think one of the biggest things I've seen from Gino stone Specifically just patience patience. Just wait him Um, he was a late-round pick and ain't really get much time to shine it And he he was he kept being behind some safeties were really good He was behind Earl Thomas, then he was behind Marcus Williams. So he just his tie He said maybe he felt like his time was coming Maybe he didn't but when he was in the games any games that he played and he made the most of them So happy for Gino stone. It's he has been phenomenal I just really wish that and I get it's tough because they they fight like a report paying Marcus Williams All this money to be a free safety and Gino stone He came out of nowhere, but and now he's playing strong safety. He's not playing free safety anymore I wish they would just have left him at free safety, but it's not my call Hardball's questionable challenge flag next question came from my guy Trevor J He said what's up in gravy and hope you and a fam are doing well. We are doing great I appreciate it Trevor. He said so apparently on Sunday's game John Harbaugh said he was gonna call the time out anyway To make sure they stopped the two-point conversion, which they did. Yeah, it did work out So he threw the challenge flag instead to see if they could get anything out of it because why not smart move or no Yeah, he did say that he threw the challenge flag so he could prepare them for the two-point conversion Like you said in mentioned that they did stop so it ended up being a genius move because it was like calling an extra long Time out because usually the timeouts either 30 seconds or a minute But um it since they reviewed it and then they were like, oh, well, we actually can't review that play We can't challenge that play I mean because it's a review but it's all touchdowns and scores and all turn touchdowns and turnovers are reviewed automatically So they were like, oh, well the Baltimore Ravens will be charged a timeout But that sequence was so long and that gave the Ravens with a whole lot of time to prepare So yeah, it ended up working out next questions came from my guy Howard. He said what's happening in Raven? I'm not a fan of seeing EDC always roaming the sidelines during the games Ozzy never did that It's just something about the way that looks to me. Am I tripping your thoughts? I'm like I can't tell you how to feel about anything that's completely up to you, but I think that's something that's so like My new it's something that's just To me in my opinion again all opinions could differ I think that's something that's just not worth complaining over like what what impact is EDC Roaming the field. What does that have to do with anything? Is EDC out there calling plays? Is he getting in the players way or something? Like if anything like that says a lot to me about EDC like the fact that because I know um I know Falcons their owner a GM. He did the same thing But it to me it shows like are you willing to be out there in the elements where the players are on stuff? It could be cold. It could be windy you could be out of but you could be up in a press box You could be up in a nice fancy suite But you're actually being out there where the coaches and the players are that says a lot that that says a lot of good to Me that that says a lot about being humble and humility to me the fact that this big money guy the guy cutting the checks Or no the guy right signing the checks So it's this bishat he cut the check But this says a lot to me that EDC in his position that he would be willing to be down there with them So I do not think that that's a bad thing at all. I feel like that's like nitpicking but again To each his own he also said going into that charges game The Ravens had a good rotation in the running game with Gus Edwards and Keaton Mitchell then in the charges game They throw a monkey wrench with force-feeding justice heel phasing out gust of bus which makes no sense to me Is it me? It doesn't seem like ever since her balls been here the Ravens always do something off the wall I don't know where just my thoughts curious to hear yours Yeah, Ravens are a very interesting team when it comes to patterns when it comes to strategies Sometimes they can outthink themselves But there can be sometimes when they can outthink all of us because we'll be seeing something and then be like What what is going on? But there's a method to their madness. So as far as the running backs I know they did talk about it with it with Keaton Mitchell Maybe they just some they don't want to put so much on his plate because again, he's an undrafted rookie free agent So it wasn't like it was the Ravens plans to have Keaton Mitchell here But he just didn't get drafted in it worked out So they don't want to throw everything on his plate at once but as the season goes along You can give him more and more responsibility. You know us fans. We we want to see him out there all the time Hey, Keaton Mitchell, let's go But and then there's playoffs coming up, too You just want to have your guys fresh as that as fresh as they can possibly be But you want to have more guys be able to do more like Justice Hill That's like a third down guy catching passes out of the backfield I mean all of them are catching passes out of the backfield now, but Justice Hill now past protector He was probably the one that they trust the most in past protection Back there between him Gus Edwards and Keaton Mitchell. So that's another thing you got to think of so the rotation It all just depends on context it depends on the situation and it depends on the circumstance to help me understand Next question came from my guy Ray Shinies. I was up in grave in the team. Keep it clean I need help understanding this number one seed debate This might be long So let's just get right into it from my understanding of people that do not want the number one seed are the people that are Traumatized from us getting in it getting into 2019 and that's not being prepared and being one and done The argument is that when we got the number one seed in 2019 We should not have rested our starters in the last dealers game, which is a valid point We also came in unprepared in my opinion had a poor game playing on both sides of the ball with absolutely No adjustments at any point in the game, but isn't that something we can fix if we were to have the number one seed again? It sure is it really is and remember to in that game. Do you remember all the drops? Had all those drops been catches even half of them been catches Completely different ball game. Let's continue. He said if we were to get the number one seed again How about we play our starters instead of resting them at least for a half? I agree We may need to play our starters anyway if it comes to winning the Steelers game in a week 18 to even get the Number one seed that's true as well He said how about this next time? We come in with a better game plan and be prepared to make adjustments early and stick to what's working Finally our coaches need to make sure during the buy that our team is fully prepared to get to work to make it to the AFC Championship and then the Super Bowl right preparation is everything man And I agree with that like the starters still getting some time in now If you need to win that Steelers game to get the number one seed, okay Stardust play that full game try to close that thing out But if you don't need it Hey, let the starters at least play a half or something let them still try to get in rhythm and whatnot And then in the season on a high note and then go from there So he said personally I am for the number one seed because instead of needing to win three playoff games We only need to before 2021 both the number one seed and the number two seed got to buy and the majority of Playoff teams that had to buy not only went to the Super Bowl But one the Super Bowl that is not the case for lower C playoff teams and is the 2019 year the only time that we went Oh one and done in a playoffs, especially after having a number one or two seed We can't be scared from just one mishap. This is the NFL is any given Sunday You just have to learn from it and move on. You can't expect the same scenario is going to happen Every time you get the number one seed Especially if it's not even a pattern. Hmm. That's true Because that's been only time Ravens had that number one seed with this team He said anyway, sorry for the long run But what do you think engraving the team keep it clean? I'm looking forward to getting your perspective And just like we won't be at any point in the playoffs. I'm out. I love that ending because that's perfect and same thing I said earlier man, I'm with the number one seed all day every day and People who are like, no, we don't want the number one seed again I take you back to the AFC championship Ravens when the AFC championship Next week they're gonna have about a week So they're gonna be right back in the same situation. That's so many people are scared of what no that they'll be fine, man They'll be fine, man, and it's up to them to just again stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready number one seed Give it to me next question came from Java. He said to answer your question about Ravens wired Yes, they still do it after a loss. Okay, cuz he had asked me before like, um, if I watch Ravens wired And I told him I don't and I don't got nothing against I just don't be watching it I've seen it before but I just I just don't be watching it And then when I think the days at it I know it obviously stays up on YouTube and stuff, but the days that it comes out I'm not home and I just never circle back around to a watching it We just get so busy and so but anyway He said my question for you is but I do I do appreciate that though that because you said that they Still do Ravens wired even after a loss. I respect that a lot and I love that He said my question for you is not Ravens related but more about your channel question number one Is how many episodes do you think you have done so far lol? No clue? Because I mean it's on here. I think they um, I don't know if it's public But I know I can look to see how many videos there are This is a lot And he said my last question is what was your thought process from when you first started doing this until where you're at now With your channel. Oh, that's a really deep question. Um, I remember when I first started especially when I I Just did the just talking about Ravens My goal was to and this is still a goal of mine that I still want to make happen But my goal of mine was to be able to take people away from their problems for about 10 15 and have a longer video is Just so we talk about football talk about whatever and we just have a good time doing it We enjoy ourselves doing it and hopefully The people that are watching and commenting and leaving like a and subscribe all that stuff the people that are supporting Hopefully they enjoy it as well because that was that was my biggest thing because it's so many Problems that go on on a daily basis so many issues that people face on a day-to-day basis people face issues all the time And I'm sure somebody out there right now watching this video That's going through something that has really just been bothering them that's been frustrating them that they stressed out like crazy from But I wanted to be able to try and I know we can't alleviate any stress from anybody anything like that I get that but I wanted to just Try to put people at ease just for a little bit Every day that we made a video so that that had been my goal from the jump and that's still my goal every day No matter what it is that we're talking about no matter what's going on if we're watching the game together Doing a question from subscribers like this doing an update video, whatever it is is that hopefully Whoever's watching this could give them a little break from whatever issues whatever problems that they got going on in their personal lives Oh, well, this is interesting. Let's this next question came from my god. Cooper. He said hey, man I'm just starting up my radio Ravens YouTube channel main reason why I did this is because you have inspired me Thank you for all that you do. Oh, no, you ain't got to thank me for nothing I think y'all though because y'all y'all helped keep this thing moving y'all really do so I appreciate y'all He said anyway, my question is how do you start up a YouTube channel? I know that's a stupid question to ask but this the first time I've done a full Ravens channel Hope you read this and have a wonderful day. Let's fly. How you start up a YouTube channel. Just go for it That's it. Just go for it. Get a camera. I'm sure you got a phone You can use your phone because the cameras on phones are amazing nowadays. I don't know if you got air pods or not You got headphones or that though those could be your mics for now, but I think I'm One of the biggest things we're starting up is not waiting for the perfect situation You don't have to because I know a lot of people they they like all right I know and I get it because you want your stuff to look good. You want it to be Maybe professional if you want it, but it don't got to be professional my opinion But you you want your stuff to be on point. So some people like oh, I gotta have this camera I gotta have this mic. I gotta have these lights. I gotta have this computer I gotta have this this that in the third. I gotta have all this stuff and then I'll start and then when they wait for all that stuff They could either wait and not get everything and then they'll be all know what I ain't gonna do it no more or They could get all that stuff. They could have all the stuff It could be looking perfect or whatnot and then if it ain't jumping quick If the channel ain't going off quick, then they'd be like, oh man, this was all a waste. I'm done I ain't doing it no more so my advice in my opinion Don't wait till everything's perfect. Don't wait till everything's perfect If there's something that you want to do go for it and just build as you go along and also you got to have the utmost Patience passing the torch next question came from my guy D3. He said, what's up in gravy in the team? Keep it clean. Hope all is well with you and yours. I got a question for you How does JK Dobbins fit into the Ravens plans that running back next year? He doesn't in my opinion He died. I think he's done with the Ravens. I think the Ravens are done with him Not I know like bad blood type of way But I think it's just no if he does come back I can see them doing a one-year deal that with no guaranteed money But I think it's done between him and the Ravens. But anyway, he continued He said hypothetically if Gus is RB one Gus contract is up after this year, too So yeah, anyway, he said hypothetically if Gus is RB one and Mitchell is running back to the only two on the outside Looking in our Justice Hill and JK Justice Hill has a two-year contract. So he's under contract next year Gus is not only Ravens running backs on the contract next year. Keep Mitchell Justice Hill JK Dobbins Gus Edwards. They are not So we'll see what I can see them coming to an agreement with Gus Edwards, but JK Dobbins I just I don't see him fitting in. He said, what say you again? Thank you for the insight and keep up the great work. Now. I appreciate you man. Thank you Yeah, I think that Justice, I'm excuse me not Justice Hill I think that JK Dobbins is done with the Ravens Gus Edwards hmm That's a tricky one. Um, I can see that one going either way Because with what they do um I feel like JK Dobbins. He's like the perfect running back for their offense. Um, but just the injuries the injuries Gus Edwards, they I think they love Gus Edwards Um, and I I could see them trying to be like, hey Gus stay for the low Stay stay stay for the low. I can see them trying to sign him to a super super cheap deal like they did before when they re-signed them Oh boy, they got like They they like they they held Gus Edwards down like, um Not as hell in a good way, uh like before his contract because remember like he'll be going off and they like All right, Gus Edwards, you coming out of the game They would not let his numbers go crazy man And I I think it was calculated. So when it came to contract time, they could be like, oh, look at your numbers They were like this that that that yeah, you had a high average and whatnot But your carries were low your yards or the so that I feel like they they held him down So when it came to pay him they could be like, oh Now we don't want to pay you that much and it worked out worked out for them So now um, I could see them trying to do that again Um, because I think moving forward like next year. I think Keith Mitchell. I think it'll be his time I I really do Um, but yeah, we'll see but as far as JK, I think he's out of there Uh, Gus on offense, uh, justice. He'll he will have one year left at that point So I think they may actually keep him and last well not even comment I mean not even question muscle a comment or a story Came from my guy Aaron. He said the girl who changed everything In my life. He said, hey man.
