 Now, I know it's going to be people that when they see the title of this video, they're going to be like, Oh, don't feel bad. It's a business. I know it's going to be all type of crazy comments, but I really do feel bad for Ravens, why receiver James Pro Shae? Because it has been a very, very, just business side alone. Because personal side has been rough for him to a business side alone. It's been really, really rough for James Pro Shae for this past. I can't even just say year in change, but really for the majority of his entire career as a Baltimore Raven, he got drafted because he was known for his his high point in the ball and making contested catches. And he was known for not dropping the ball at all. Like, and there were moments when I even said plenty of times because it's on videos and stuff. I said, James Pro Shae, he had the best hands on the team. Really, they feel that way because he did not drop nothing. And again, that's what him and Devin DuVernay, they came out the same year. That's what they were known for in college. They were known for not dropping the ball at all whatsoever. So it was like, all right, Ravens had some issues with some drops in the past and they drafted them too with that intention of not dropping. So, all right, let's go. Let's get it. Let's see how it turns out. But for James Pro Shae specifically, not even just this off season, but throughout his entire career, it's just it's really been rough. And I feel for him. And then, especially this off season, too, with the way that it's currently going business wise, so with the Baltimore Ravens, but personal wise, too. I know we, of course, talk Ravens all day, every day on here. So I know most people would be focused on that. But then with him, just a couple of months ago, having lost his mom, too. That's big, man. That's big. And that that can just mess your whole psyche up. That can mess your whole mental up, because if you've ever like lost somebody and then still had to come into work and still had to come into work with a high pressure job and like as a football player, that's obviously a super high pressure job, as you all already know. But and I'm not even joking about this, but as a Ravens wide receiver, that's definitely a high, high pressure job for sure. Because to the public in the public's eye, and I'm sure even in the private eye, but to the public's eye, that's not a place where receivers are known to flourish. That's not a place where receivers are known to make it. So you as a Ravens wide receiver, especially getting drafted late, too, because he was I want to say a fifth or sixth round pick. I think sixth round pick from SMU. So he was a late round draft choice by the Baltimore Ravens at wide receivers. So right then and there from jump, he was a super long shot to make it a super long shot to have an impact from the beginning, just based off of the team alone. And just so that that's tough right there. But then everything that he's undergoing throughout this point in his career is just it's really, really tough, man. And I really do feel bad for James Pro Shade because and right now it's like it seems like with James Pro Shade it's almost like everything that could go wrong on the football field. It does go wrong on the football field, obviously, most recently. He did have a catch afterwards. And the same thing happened last week, too, to where it's a big play, big negative play by James Pro Shade. But then he makes he has a catch afterwards. But I feel like the the how big those bad plays were. They just overshadowed everything else. This week it was against the commanders. While again, I did say it was not the best thrown ball in the world. It could have been a little high. It could have been a little put it out a little put out a little bit more. But it did give James Pro Shade a legitimate shot at making a catch. And it's like a ball like that at that spot of the field, too. I mean, I know for me, automatically going to think, all right, well, if it ain't no completion, then it's going to be in completion, whether it's a drop, whether it's a swat, a knockdown or whatever. It's going to be in completion at the worst. But it's like with Pro Shade, all the crazy stuff has been happening to him. Like, who intercepts a ball like that? Who looked like that? That was just crazy, man, because I remember just watching it live and the balls up in the air and it's sailing and sailing and sailing. James Pro Shade jumps to try to catch the ball. And I thought it was going to be a catch because I thought it was going to be reminiscent like of that, the him versus the commanders a couple of years ago in the preseason when he caught the same exact spot, too. Same exact spot. He caught the ball over that commander's cornerback and he was staring him in the face and he took off his helmet and all that. I was like, Pro Shade, let's get it, baby, because it was the same spot. So I thought it was going to be the same thing. But at the worst, like, OK, if you don't catch it incomplete. So when we saw him drop it, it was like, OK, but then the commanders defend the interceptors, like, really, man, how does that happen? I thought that was one of the hardest interceptions I ever saw. Have I like there's obviously interception, intercepting the ball in the NFL. There's a certain level of difficulty to it. But that one was an extreme level of difficulty. But then we go back last week. They got James Pro Shade on punt return. Again, another big play, but it is a big negative play. And he dropped the ball. Again, James Pro Shade, not known for drops, man, not known for drops. And he dropped the ball and I know mistakes happen all the time. Nobody's perfect. But I just wonder, like, is he overthinking? Was he sort of pressing almost? Was what could it be? What is the pressure again of being and not only this year, just being Ravens wide receiver, but the with everything that's in front of him because it's there's so much in front of him. So I'm sure he's been thinking about it. And again, we know the Ravens love. They love James Pro Shade. We know that they love James Pro Shade and James Pro Shade good people. But I know he's got to be facing an intense, immense amount of pressure, especially this year because of what the Ravens have done at wide receiving, really what they've done over the past couple of years. Yeah, they traded Hollywood away. But over that time, they had draft war before they traded Hollywood, they drafted Bateman. They signed Sammy Watkins. They they brought in the Marcus Robinson, the Sean Jackson, they brought Sammy Watkins back again. And now this this year specifically, though, this has really been the year where it's like, whoa, OK, because they signed first, they signed Nelson Aguilar. It's like, oh, OK, that's cool. But then they signed Odell Beckham, Jr. It's like, oh, OK, that's cool. Then they drafted Zay flowers. It's like, whoa, OK, it's cool. Then they signed Laquan Treadwell, Dante Demis, Jr. Like there's a Sean Ryan who came out of nowhere the other day or last week in the preseason. We didn't see him this week in preseason, but he came out of nowhere. They brought back Shamar Bridges. They just they've added a lot at wide receiver in that the room is thick. It's thick because there's so many people in there at the wide receiver position, and they all seem to be fighting for essentially one spot. And then you still got Tyler Wallace in the building to who they drafted a couple of years ago. And that puts even more pressure on not only James Pro Shade, but just everybody just seeing what Tyler Wallace has been doing. His draft status alone being a couple of years ago, being a fourth round pick that helps him out. Ravens obviously really like Tyler Wallace as well because they got high hopes for him. And we talked about this last year. That's that's when I really saw how much they like Tyler Wallace as well, because there was a point where he got hurt and they put him on injured reserve and hope. I was like, oh, no, we were probably going to bring him back. And I was thinking, no, how about he's just talking. He's not you're not going to bring Tyler Wallace back. Y'all barely have him out on the field on offense. Y'all are not going to bring no Tyler Wallace back. I know you're not. You just talking. They brought Tyler Wallace back and they got. And because and that was significant because bringing somebody back from injured reserve, you got to open up a roster spot for them on the 53 and they opened up a roster spot for Tyler Wallace on the 53. So I was like, whoa, that's that was something. And him doing special teams, him being out there, why receiving in this preseason, two games, two touchdown catches. He's been doing this thing. And then he even think even drew the pass interference call in the in the game on Monday night, too, I believe. So the back to James Pro Shade. It's just been tough, man. It's been tough. And I really do feel for him because no football fans can be really harsh. Football fans can be extremely rough. And we see the stuff like social media, like people can be really nasty just in general. But I tell my God, me, all the time that I really hope that James Pro Shade won't be going on Twitter because people be like saying all kind of crazy stuff, man. And that stuff to the right person, they could break them. It really could. And we know again, football is it's nationally televising what not. And these guys, they always talk about how their their their job is so tough because it's on public display 24 seven, 24 seven. How much they make if they doing good or bad, how different people feel about them and their job performance, all that stuff, 24 seven on four displays, public information. And it's like, man. So in every single week, people are watching them, seeing how they're doing what. So James Pro Shade, man, it's I feel like he just in such a tough spot right now. And again, I do I do feel bad for him again. I know it's a business. I know it's a business. That's why I ain't no GM. If I was a GM, my feelings were getting away too much time, man. But then like with James Pro Shade, this off season, like with this preseason, it's been really rough for me. But then you even go back to last year. You go back to during the season last year. And it was just it was like a lot of the same stuff because it was like with James Pro Shade, I think like his his penalty yardage would like very close to his total receiving yards for the year. But it was like every time like the ball went his way just about. Well, I guess just as much as he made, he got catches and got positive yards just as much he got penalty yards. It was always something bad, too. And big bad stuff, too. Like he would negate a first down because of a what was the penalty? Not unnecessary roughness. I think he was like getting into it with I forgot what team it was. He was getting towards somebody somebody on the sideline and they end up calling the penalty on him that lost the Raven some yards. And then, of course, we know the the Greg Roman play where I just I was like, oh, yeah, this one Greg Roman. Yeah, he's he got the job at Stanford. He ain't coming back to the Ravens. Definitely not after this week where they did. What was it like an end around and they pitched it to James crochet and they had him throw the ball and he threw it in the triple coverage against the Broncos and it ended up being an interception. And it was like, man, it was it was crazy to watch that. But it's just been it's been really crazy to see how things have just happened to James crochet on the football field, especially since last year. But even if you go years back to just the system that he was drafted into again as a wide receiver, especially like even before like even previous systems by the Baltimore Ravens have been rough on wide receivers. But then with Greg Roman is especially rough on wide receivers on most why because it like if you the top wide receiver, if you if you the number one guy in the Greg Roman office as a wide receiver, you could do OK. But everybody beyond that, especially the number threes, number four, wide receivers, especially number five and six, you ain't going to do much of anything because the offense doesn't really feature wide receivers like that. It doesn't implement different wide receivers like that. So for him being drafted to the Ravens, drafted to that offense, it'll run heavy. If you run it back, you're going to get your offensive linemen. It's an easy way to get paid. Great. But wide receiver, it can be rough. It can be a struggle. So you to be drafted into that. And like your spot on the depth chart was already was behind some people. So it's rough, man. But with James crochet, I don't know, man, I just being straightforward. I don't think it's looking too good as far as him being on the team. What I think I said this before, too, I could see them doing one of those phantom injury things where they put them on injury reserve. So he's around, but he's not on the team and then maybe doing like whether they keep on injury reserve where they do a injury settlement where they wave or release him a little bit afterwards or I don't know, because I just after the way that everything has been, I just that that's six wide receiver spot. I just don't see it going to him. Because then it's been rough, man. I do like I said, I really, really feel for me. I really, really do, man. But I think what would be better than this, just my opinion. I don't know anything from anything. I don't know nothing from nothing. I'm not no insider at all. Like I always say, I'm an NFL outsider. I ain't got no plugs, no sources, no contacts, none of that stuff. But with James crochet, I just feel a fresh start. In my opinion, would be best. Just a fresh start, new scenario, new scenery. I feel like that would be best because sometimes that's what we all need. Sometimes because I done obviously none of my jobs compared to being in the NFL. So James Pro Shaker definitely hangers had on that. Like he made it to the NFL and he's lasted in the NFL. A lot of people can't say that again. It's the top 1% period in the world with top 1% of people in the world. Make it to the NFL. Well, only 1% of people in the world make it to the NFL. That's it. I said 1% that's it. The other 99% they don't make it. So shout out to James Pro Shaker for that. And he's been in there and he's lasted. So but I've been in jobs where it's been rough. It just seemed like everything's going wrong. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong. And it's like, man, is it me? Is like, what's going on? And sometimes it can be sometimes it can be. But other times it could be like, you know what, even if it is you, sometimes it'll be like a fresh start. It can help all of that stuff. So just want to give a special shout out to James Pro Shaker. Because again, I know things have been like rough because from what we see and imagine this, we see it just as fans looking on the outside. And we see it as fans, but we're not the ones going through it, though. It's him that's going through it. So if we feel the way that we feel, imagine how he feels and he's the one in the situation. So just try to have some empathy for for James Pro Shaker. Again, like I said, I know it's a business and no business. You got to make tough decisions and all that. You got to make the the real tough choices and whatnot. But yeah, man, shout out to James Pro Shaker. I love y'all to keep it clean. I appreciate y'all to keep it clean. I love y'all and we out.
