 So YouTube, team keep it clean. Y'all have a seat, relax. We got a lot to talk about. But what's going on? Just engraving here with another video. I hope y'all are good. Last night, especially amongst Ravens fans on Ravens Twitter, I just saw so much ugly. I saw a lot of ugly. I saw a lot of disgusting things. And it was just like, man, like, come on now, man. It just, it was gross. But anyway, to get straight into it, there was a presser today. John Harbaugh started it off and he was asked the question that we all had on our minds. Like, what's going on with Rashad Bateman? What's the status of Rashad Bateman? How is Rashad Bateman? And he answered, he has a soft tissue injury. It was like, okay, cool. How long is he gonna be out? Well, he's gonna be out for weeks, for a couple of weeks. I don't know how many weeks, but he's gonna be out for weeks. Not a month, but for weeks. And that really, it's very murky. And again, y'all remember how Harbaugh is with the injuries? You know, ever since Bashar Perryman, Harbaugh said, nope, I ain't commenting on no injuries. I'm not giving you no detailed updates on nobody's injury. I'm not dealing with it, because when it came to Bashar Perryman, and it's something that I said back then too, I feel like with Bashar Perryman, I feel like he was almost set up for failure from the jump, because with John Harbaugh, he was like, oh, his injury is week to week. So he set that expectation for Bashar Perryman. But then the injury ended up being a lot longer than just week to week. So that started having fans turn on Bashar Perryman from jump, from jump. And then it just set things off in a really bad way. And it's a shame because I've seen a lot of fans doing the same thing with Rashad Bateman. I've seen fans calling him a bust. I've seen fans calling him Bashar Perryman 2.0. I've seen fans calling him sorry. I've seen fans calling him this and that. And it's like, man, we haven't even seen this guy catch a pass in the regular season yet. And y'all are already doing it. We not even in the regular season. And y'all are already doing this? Already, really? And it's just, it's a shame. But we should be used to this by now. Because the same thing happened with Hollywood when he had his injury. He didn't really get to go through training camp like that. And then what did he do in week one? Oh, he set Miami on fire. And not saying that Rashad Bateman is gonna do that. Hopefully he does that. And hopefully he even plays week one. But let's just stop this cringe-worthiness attitude that a lot of fans have to where they're just thinking about themselves. They just have this where it's like, hey, if I don't get to see this particular player when I wanna see this particular player, then that player sucks. He's terrible. Let's not do that. Because that's not what it is. But anyway, with Rashad Bateman, he is not Rashad Perryman 2.0. He is Rashad Bateman 1.0. So he will have his opportunity to prove himself when he does take the field whenever that may be. Hopefully as sooner rather than later but also hopefully at the same time, they don't rush him. Hopefully they don't rush him. I remember when we drafted Hollywood Brown and he was injured. And I said the same, I don't think the injuries are, they're obviously not the same injury, but I don't think they even on the same level. But what I said with Hollywood, I said, hey, you know what? Since he could barely practice, he's hurt. I said Raven should put him on PUP for the first six weeks. Put him on the pup list. And then so we can have him for the long haul. But the Ravens were like, no, they had him ready week one and he did his thing. Now he did have to take some plays off. He had to take, he would usually get like every Friday off of practice, but they got through it. And he got healthy as the season went along and he did his thing. So with Rashad Bateman, you know they are going to make a very, very careful decisions with him moving forward. John Hobo was also asked, is he gonna be ready week one? Isrishad Bateman gonna be ready to play when the Ravens play the Raiders on Monday night football for the world to see. It's gonna be the last game of week one. And I know Ravens fans gonna be going crazy all week one. First, you got the Thursday night game. I believe it's the Bucks and the Cowboys. Shout out to Hard Knocks. And then you got all the Sunday games, the Sunday morning games, and then the Sunday afternoon games and Sunday night game. And then Ravens fans gonna be like, oh, we love that football is back in regular season football at that. But oh, we gotta keep waiting. Then Monday night's gonna roll around. But will Rashad Bateman play in that game? Hardball was extremely non-committal about that. He even turned into Petty Hardball a little bit too. And he said, no, he said, I'm not giving y'all that. But what it really sounded like, sound like he doesn't know. It sound like he doesn't know what sound like things are just really, really up in the air. Especially from what he said about Rashad Bateman since he said he's gonna miss, he's gonna miss weeks. He didn't say how many weeks. He said he's gonna miss weeks, though. He's gonna miss weeks, not a month, but weeks. So could it be one week? Could it be two weeks? Could it be three weeks? Could it be three weeks in six days? Since usually four weeks is about a month. But we'll see. So anyway, moving on. In the presser, it also featured, there was Bobby Ingram, who was the tight ends coach. And there was also a cold cat, Anthony Levine. Now my respect for Anthony Levine, it went up a lot. I already had respect for him, but I got even more after last night. Because y'all, of course, I know y'all saw the whole thing on Twitter from the fan that obviously wasn't the biggest fan of Anthony Levine. And my thing with that is, we're not all gonna be fans of every single player on the Ravens or be fans of every single player on every single team. And that's not an issue. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all. If you're not the biggest fan of a player, no problem. But where I didn't agree was where there doesn't have to be any disrespect. It doesn't have to be any disrespect towards the player. And the way that Anthony Levine handled it, I respected that a lot. He could have lashed out at the fan. He could have called him this, that, and the third he could have said so many things. But he kept it peaceful, he kept it positive, and that was it. That was it. We got to understand that NFL players, their jobs, like it's crazy because if you think about it, no matter what you do, if your job was on public display for everybody to see every single day, that adds a lot of pressure to whatever it is that you do, a lot of pressure. And if somebody's talking about you sideways or something, then you have the right to go back at least in my opinion. You have the right to go back at them. They talking about you sideways and whatnot. They talking about your work. And especially if you're successful in what you've been doing. But Anthony Levine, he didn't do that. He didn't do that. And these football players, it's tough. It's tough. And I don't know, I've talked about this before and I've heard somebody say, oh well, they shouldn't do it. If they don't want to be in a public eye, they shouldn't do it. Well, that's their job. Every job got its responsibilities and different things that come along with it. But with them, literally everything that they do, everything that they do is on public display. When they're having a great day at work, the world knows. The world gets to see it because it happens during the game. If they're having a terrible day at work, the world gets to see it because it's happening during the game. How much they get paid? The world knows that. So everybody's pocket watching. You ain't even gotta try. You can go on a spot track. You can Google it. You can do so much stuff to see how much they get paid. And it's just like, with that, again, that adds so much pressure, in my opinion, to these players. So shout out to Anthony LeVine for the way that he handled that fan. So that was that. Now something else, Jeff Zrebek talked about it today was just the injuries, man. Injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries. We, of course, talked about Rashad Bateman earlier. There's Miles Boykin. There's Hollywood Brown. Ben Cleveland. Said Ben Cleveland, he left practice today. He was, excuse me, he was only there for a short amount of time. He left, hopefully he's straight. We did get Bradley Boseman back now. So that was good. And Ronnie Stanley, they said he wasn't in pass today. He was off to the side. So, but it's expected. Again, Ronnie Stanley, he's gonna be eased back in. Ease back in slowly. So no problem with that. But anyway, I said Adafi away. He didn't practice today. Now with him, I'm not sure if that's, didn't he leave yesterday? Ah, I can't, I think he did. I don't remember off the top of my head though. But anyway, Daylan Hayes said that he limped to the locker room in practice. So hopefully he was just a little bit sore. Hopefully just a little tiny bit banged up. And maybe with a rest, relaxation day, obviously the rest of today, and maybe tomorrow then he'll be back on Friday if they have practice on Friday. Cause I know they got the game coming up on Saturday. So I'm not sure how that schedule is going to be. But it's a shame. They said they had 21 players not practicing today. 21, 21 players not practicing. Right now you have 90 men on your roster and you have 21 players not practicing. That's a lot. That's a whole lot. And you know what was crazy is that we were hearing today so much about all the injuries and whatnot. I forgot that Lamar Jackson was even out there. I really did. But yeah, man, it's real quick. One last thing before we get out of here. Ravens fans, make sure you realize that the season has not started yet. Because I know Ravens fans, they get upset and whatnot. They get frustrated and there's nothing wrong with being frustrated, nothing wrong with getting upset or whatnot. But try to put everything into perspective. It's a lot of Ravens fans because they've seen a good amount of injuries. None season ending, which is great. But they've seen a significant amount of injuries to different players on the team. So they're like, oh man, our season is done. Oh man, that's it. Oh man, get ready for 2022. And it's like, what? We haven't even made it to week one of the pre-season. And there's so many people ready to give up on the regular season. That just, that doesn't make any sense to me. That's just wild. So just take a deep breath. And I mean, not even just pertaining to football, this is just in life too. Sometimes we just gotta step back and take a deep breath because we all need that break from whatever it is that you do. And again, back to the whole Anthony Levine thing. Just before you're about to go disrespect somebody about whatever it is that they do, especially if it's in the public eye, just imagine if everything that you did, every part of your job was on public display. Imagine that. If every part of your job was on public display. So when you had good days and you had bad days, everybody got to see it. Imagine that. And try to put yourself in somebody else's shoes before you go disrespecting them. I love y'all, Team Keep It Clean. I appreciate y'all. Thank you for being so respectful here because it goes a long way. And it's contagious. Respect is contagious. For some people, you gotta rub them a little extra because they don't get it right away. But it can be contagious. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And I will see you all later. We out.
