 It's one thing if a team is making adjustments against the Baltimore Ravens and they really find a way to counter something that the Ravens are doing that's just really, really working. It's a shout out to those opposing defense, but a lot of times it feels like opposing defenses don't even have to do that because the Baltimore Ravens, they have this issue, they have this problem. Now it's a great thing because they still seven and three despite it but they have an issue with shooting themselves and the foot from going away, from what's working from being their own worst enemy. And it's such a significant problem. We see it in every loss that the Baltimore Ravens have endured thus far this season but what's so dangerous about it too is that we've seen it in a lot of the wins as well. Now we've continued to commend the Baltimore Ravens because most times obviously because they won seven games out of 10 but most times they've been able to overcome being their own worst enemy. But it's something that through 10 weeks we would expect it to sort of dwindle down. We would expect it to decrease the rate of them shooting themselves in the foot. We would expect that to go down a lot. So hopefully moving forward, they will but let's just revisit a recent scenario where they did just that but before we get into it. Team keeping clean.

Now speaking of something that was notable that we watched live was in this previous game against the Cleveland Browns. And that was the fact that that boy, Keaton Mitchell, was going off his very first carry. He took it was 39 yards to the house for a touchdown and it was a beautiful thing. And so much of us were thinking, oh, we remember what he did in that Seahawks game. We remember what he did in the pre-season. So, oh yeah, that was his first carry but it certainly won't be his last. Keaton Mitchell is about to go off again. So we were all hyped about it. And then a little later on, shortly after that 39-yard touchdown run, they hit him with a screen and he made the Raven screen game look so beautiful. Almost thought he was about to take that one to the house too. So Keaton Mitchell was getting involved early and often. But let's look at the second half numbers for Keaton Mitchell because in the first quarter it was a 39-yard rushing touchdown. And also in the first quarter was that 32-yard, that screen play, that catching run. But then in quarter two, in second quarter, he had that negative seven-yard rush. And with that one, Ravens were trying to get a little cute with him like, all right, okay, you tried it. I ain't got no problem with you trying it because if it were to work, okay, no problem. He would have been cheering and screaming and yelling and all that. But then in quarter three, he had a two-yard rush. So it's okay, he got a little two yards on here. Okay, what else are we gonna do, Keaton Mitchell? Never saw him touch the ball again. Never, not once. I don't even think he got faked to him. Never saw him touch the ball again. So it's like the Baltimore Ravens, they have somebody that most of the times, this season alone, when they've touched the ball, they've made excellent things happen. They've made great things happen. In just a small, limited amount of time. But the Ravens decided, you know what? This is working so well. It's working so, we're not gonna do it anymore. We're gonna go away from it. And it just, it didn't make any sense at all. It didn't make any sense live. I know Hardball talked about it in the presser. He said that, hey, that's just the way the game went. What? Then he talked about, oh, well, maybe we thought that we didn't feel comfortable putting all that on that rookie's plate, giving all that that responsibility to that young player. I still feel like that was inexcusable of the Baltimore Ravens to literally do nothing with Keith. And a lot of times he wasn't even on a field. It wasn't even just the fact that he didn't touch the ball. That was bad enough. But he wasn't even on a field at all, like Harley at all. Because with what he did early on in the game, he clearly established himself as a legitimate threat, as a legitimate weapon, as a legitimate option against the Cleveland Browns. So the Browns, when they saw number 34 on the field, they would have to watch. Hey, hey, hey, hey, they go, hey, they go 34. He coming down on the field. Hey, watch him, please, get extra people, get ready. Because we know he about to get the ball. But the Ravens were like, you know what? Browns, you won't even have to make adjustments. We're gonna make it easy for you. We're gonna remove Keith Mitchell from the game plan. What, how about that? And it just, it didn't make any sense. So the Baltimore Ravens, they got to stop this nonsense with just hurting themselves. Lamar Jackson, and the interception that he threw, or the one of the two interceptions that he threw, because with the second interception that went for a pick six, that is Ravens shooting themselves in the foot. Though Lamar Jackson can't really do anything if your offensive linemen, he literally getting pushed back. Your offensive linemen is on the ground and the player is jumping up in the air into the passing lane. But anyway, that first interception that Lamar Jackson threw right before halftime. Ravens shooting themselves in the foot. That was all on Lamar. 100% on Lamar Jackson. And whether it was a miscommunication, whether, again, I think that he thought that Bateman was coming back, but Bateman was going, whatever it was, it was terrible. And it gave the Browns an easy, easy interception. Took away points from the Baltimore Ravens, took away possible points from the Baltimore Ravens and gave the Browns the ball back. So Ravens just, they cannot keep shooting themselves in the foot because if you continue to, because it's been happening all year. Whether it's been the fumbles, because we know it's been a lot of fumbles. Whether it's been the interceptions, he and there's been some interceptions for sure. Whether it's been the game plan, the strategy. Whether it's been the usage or lack thereof of certain players. Cause Keith Mitchell was just the newest guy. He just the newest guy to get involved in that. But we know with Gus Edwards, early on this season, his usage was, it was weird, but that's been a problem with Gus Edwards for years. So the fact that it was happening earlier this year is sad, but it's nothing new. And this has been a problem with the Baltimore Ravens for years. So they cannot continue to be their own worst enemy because this happened everywhere. It's happened with the players. It's happened with the coaching staff. It's happened, everybody shares a lot of the blame in this because it's been such a consistent thing. And we've talked about, it seemed like we talk about this like every week. Well, except against the Seahawks and except against the Lions. We didn't talk about it, didn't we? But besides those games, it seemed like we always having this conversation. And if we continue to have this conversation through the rest of November, if we continue to have this conversation through the rest of December, and if we continue to have this conversation in January, we won't be having a conversation in February. We won't be having any conversations at all in February because the Ravens simply won't make it that far if they continue to do these things. So it's important that the Ravens recognize what it is, recognize all these issues, address them and take care of it ASAP.
