 When describing the United States of America, you can use a lot of different nicknames But one of those nicknames is the land of opportunity and the reason that some people call it the land of opportunity is because a lot of people whether from the United States or not They come here and they look to get better jobs Make better money possibly start up their own business or use their skills that they've learned To just make a better life for themselves and just to try to do better than they're currently doing wherever they're at or wherever they're from So we see somebody who's on the Ravens Trying to make the same thing happen in a place where It wasn't really the land of opportunities for wide receivers Now this offseason has been a very busy offseason for the Ravens And they Continue to have this injection of youth, especially at the receiver position while getting Stronger more powerful with guys like Kaleas Campbell Derek Wolf They still haven't forgotten about this injection of youth and the movement for the future and if we looked last year Something that I really wanted them to do and they ended up doing it I just wanted them to start all over at wide receiver I said run it back man because after the Crabtrees after the John Browns After the Steve Smith seniors and Juan Boulders Derek Mason TJ Hoosh Minzata's and they're a lot more too They're a lot more of these veteran wide receivers and not all of them have been bad Not all of them have been bad some of them have worked out more than others others have worked out less than others So it goes both ways But I just wanted with Eric the Casa taking over I wanted it to be a youth movement And that was what I was hoping for and I was even willing for the Ravens to not have as successful as a season as I hoped for and I actually thought that they were gonna go like nine and seven because I was thinking okay It's gonna be a youth movement at the receiver position Lamar Jackson in his first year starting at the entire year Okay, we might take a little step back before we take a step forward, but I'm fine with that. I'm patient. I don't mind But yeah, or even said they got other plans but anyway a Lot of the talk this offseason has been about Hollywood being healthy in his second year And you can understand why because of everything that he did and all the promise and potential that he showed just on his first year And he was hurt a lot of the talk has been about Miles Boykin taking that second year leap You see he's got the tools. He just got to put them together. He was pretty raw last year But this year a lot of people wanted him to take that jump And then of course the Ravens they brought back Chris Moore They brought back the Anthony Thomas and those guys were primarily used on special teams But you never know what could happen and then they hit up the draft in the draft the Ravens drafted Devon Duvenay Speedy guy big playability. He could play in a slot. You can put him outside. You can move him around He could be your attorney. He can do all that stuff And they also brought in James crochet Also, he got some decent speed, but he makes a lot of contested catches and the thing with those two receivers Like we've spoken about plenty of times before they are known for their hands and that you would think oh Yeah, well, that's what receivers supposed to be known for but no they're known for not dropping the ball And of course with the Ravens last year. We saw in the playoffs. Yeah, and then of course, there's Willie Snead Who's coming back who signed the extension? Last season and now he's here for at least one more year So when you think about the Ravens receivers, those are usually all the guys at the top of your list But there's one forgotten man There's somebody who a lot of people just really aren't talking about and It's the Ravens forgotten man at the wide receiver position That being one Jalil Scott And before we get into this I gotta say that I really appreciate y'all so much Y'all just y'all been supporting like crazy, man I really hope that all of y'all I sincerely hope that all of y'all doing really good right now Got no it's tough. I know it's rough But y'all stay hanging there hanging there Again remember to check on your people check on your friends family. It ain't nothing just send a text It ain't nothing it may not be nothing to you but to them when they get that text it could like that whole day up It could change everything like that man So do it man. Send a text Call somebody FaceTime zoom whatever Just hit somebody up man. Let them know that you're just thinking about them. It ain't even got to be nothing special but anyway, um Jalil Scott Shout out to my guy Vick L Guapo because he was the one that actually sent this to me today He said that uh, he sent me the Instagram videos of Jalil Scott working out And I was like, okay cool cool. I like it. I like it Because we all know the story with Jalil Scott and if you don't know Ravens drafted him two years ago. He was one of the receivers drafted along with Jordan lastly And Jordan lastly he was excellent route runner, but he just struggled with drops Jalil Scott, he just seemed he was six five tall guy has some good speed Big wingspan but he just he just seemed like he was just very very raw and In preseason, he looked a little bit confused in his rookie preseason, he looked a little bit confused and I think the the only pass I remember getting thrown his way it ended up being intercepted, but it wasn't on him but anyway The Ravens ended up stashing him So they put him on an injury reserve because he had an injury But anyway, so his second year He said no, I ain't I ain't letting this happen again. These dudes are not about to stash me So what he do? He came back He looks stronger faster. Just look better. He looked better all around Then what happened? His peer that he got drafted with Jordan lastly end up getting cut So that puts him up that much further on the depth shot and then he actually made the active roster And I was like, okay, I see you And I'm like, man, we got Jaleel Scott Six five. Oh, that's red zone all day. Just drafted Miles Boykin. He's six four Got Hollywood for the speed sneak for the slot Chris more for some speed too. Let's see what we about man But then every game they that passed He was inactive all up until they arrested the starters in week 17 So it almost seemed like the season was a wash even though it technically wasn't because he did make One step forward and a big step forward because again last year the previous year he was stashed But then his past season he was on the active roster. He was just inactive every game So he made some significant progress, but now Now what? now what's gonna happen and When my guy Vickiel Guapo when he sent me the send me the message sent me the story from Jaleel Scott working out I was like, okay, I like it and shout out to my guy Vickiel Guapo. He always come through man We'd be having a conversation. That's my guy man And he always dropping some gems on me dropping some knowledge and and he is somebody else that That he he really I love when he shares information with me I love when he shares his insight on things and how he views things because a lot of times It can be different from how I view stuff, but I appreciate that because we share our thoughts on different things with the Ravens and stuff and He can show me a whole another side of something that I was I was like, well, I didn't even look at it like that And it'll make sense. I'm like, okay but anyway, um Jaleel Scott He was catching passes, but he wasn't just catching passes from any old quarterback in the video today He was catching passes from one Patrick Mahomes and I was like, oh, okay. All right, Jaleel. All right now but um My guy Vickiel Guapo, he said no, he said, oh, he's putting in that work And I was like, oh, he's probably trying to get traded to the chiefs, but now I'm playing though but um, I did like it because and again these not to say that just because somebody puts On this story then working out and stuff that doesn't mean that there's some crazy workout warrior that they out working everybody else Because there's a lot of people that are still working out are still staying in shape and they don't put anything on social media but um with Jaleel Scott Again, I think he's just really trying to take another leap forward and it's going to be very very hard It's going to be very very hard because he has a lot stacked up against him a lot But again, he had a lot stacked up against him last year too, but he has again Hollywood He ain't going nowhere Boykin, he ain't going nowhere Snead, I doubt he's going anywhere Duvenay and Proshay, they ain't going nowhere That's five spots that are essentially locks Guys that are on the bubble Chris Moore D'Anthony Thomas So Jaleel Scott, he got a shot It's there Five receivers I mean, you want to run a heavy team You can run with that in the game and be straight But he he definitely has a chance to still make that active roster But again, it's up to him. It's thought it all starts in practice. That's where it all starts it And he's got to show it there Now I remember when we went to the uh The the practice the the training camp last year and I know that was only for one day But Jaleel Scott He wasn't dropping anything Looking good looking quick doing his thing man And I just And I just I hope that um one thing that I hope with him Because right now Right now, I think he will be on the outside looking in But I just I don't want it to be where it's one of those things where He would be on the outside looking in because of a lack of opportunity And I know you got to create opportunity for yourself in practice and stuff again because it starts there But I just I don't want to see him Going wasted or whatnot because he didn't get a chance. I want to see Jaleel Scott, man Because again, and I know Ravens haven't done the best with the taller wide receivers And their history They have they have not done the best there Guys that I think of off the top of my head when it comes to the Ravens taller receivers I think of Tommy Streeter. I used to love him in Madden though. He used to ball out for me because he was fast But Tommy Streeter I think of uh Clarence Moore I think of um Darren Waller Uh, and they they end up trying to convert him to tight end But that obviously didn't work out due to other reasons and whatnot um Devon, uh, what was the guy's name? Devon. Oh, I can't think of it right now Y'all know who I'm talking about. Demetrius Williams. Demetrius Williams. That was him Um, and there have been a few others too But and and that could just be coincidence That could just be coincidence that maybe the Ravens like maybe it just Because they obviously haven't really invested too much into the wide receiver position because they haven't had patience there But with Eric DeCosta He ain't got much patience. He ain't gonna wait around for you He is not going to wait around for anybody. You either with it or you're not man So hopefully this year Jalil Scott can can change from being the forgotten man at receiver for the Ravens To somebody who you got no choice but to remember So team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all I love y'all and thank you for just being willing to listen To this random guy talk about ravens or football every single day I appreciate that and I love y'all And I hope y'all look like I said, I hope y'all are just having a good time Keep your heads up, man So team keep it clean. I appreciate it. Thank you for watching Much love to you And just like I hope Jalil Scott isn't I'm out
