 of y'all and just wanted to let you know before we start this that today it's gonna be a really, really good day. It's already started off really good, but today is going to be a very, very great day. Whether you at work, whether you at school, whether you at home, whether wherever you at is going to be great. So enjoy it, appreciate it, and take in the moments. Anyway, somebody who it doesn't look like they'll be taking in the moments, this upcoming Sunday is Lamar Jackson. Now when Lamar Jackson went down with his ankle injury and they officially diagnosed it as an ankle sprain, they didn't say it was a high ankle sprain. They never said it was a low ankle sprain either, but they said it wasn't a high ankle sprain. So we had to assume it's a low ankle sprain, but regardless, it's an ankle sprain. I said from jump, he ain't playing. He's not playing against the Packers. And I don't see him practicing this week, but yeah, I don't think he plays against the Packers. And we've seen it before to where players have missed practice for the whole week and they still ended up suiting up. Now, if Ravens are smart about this, which it seems like they're going to be, I'm trusting y'all Ravens, then Lamar Jackson will not be playing. What we always say early on in the week, like on Monday, for instance, if Monday comes out that a player's heard a player could miss practice or whatever, okay, cool, whatever, but Wednesday, Wednesday is when they first start practicing during the week. If somebody doesn't practice on Wednesday, okay, cool, we'll see. If they don't practice on Thursday, it's like, okay, cool, we'll see. But Friday, Friday is usually the tail day for if that person is going to play or not. And Lamar Jackson didn't practice on Wednesday. He didn't practice on Thursday and he didn't practice today being Friday. And each day, each day it gets, it's been worded differently. Like first with John Hubbell on Wednesday, he said about Lamar Jackson, oh, well, maybe it was Tuesday, he said it either way. Cause when he spoke to the media last, he was like, oh yeah, Lamar Jackson, he didn't practice. He's day to day. And Greg Roman said, oh, well, we'll see, we'll see how things go with Lamar Jackson. We'll see how it goes. Yeah, he's day to day. And I know, again, like I said, I have no problem in the whole strategy element of it against the Packers. Like you don't want to give up too much information to the team that you're getting ready to face. But like they look at all these practice reports. They see this stuff. They see Lamar Jackson is not practicing. So it's like, okay, yeah. We're not going to prepare for Lamar. We'll have some stuff ready just in case Lamar Jackson does play, but they not, they ain't even preparing for Lamar Jackson. They know it's going to be Tyler Huntley. And of course, because when you watch the Ravens moves, again, actions speak so much louder than words. And yeah, Lamar Jackson is technically day to day, but the actions are, he didn't practice. So he's probably going to be out. Then you can say, oh yeah, the hardball said the other day, yeah, we expect Lamar Jackson to play against the Packers. But if he can't go, then we'll go with Tyler Huntley. Okay, cool. But then that's his words, but then actions. What were the actions that followed that? They signed Josh Johnson, not to the practice squad. Nope. They signed Josh Johnson to the active roster. They signed him from Jets practice squad to the active roster. Now me, I didn't think they were going to be signing any other quarterbacks. I thought that they were going to just call up Chris Trevler. I thought they were going to call him up since he's currently on their practice squad. But boy, was I all the way wrong about that one. And my guy, skeptical, he made a really good point on Twitter yesterday saying, well, with the Ravens, this, them bringing in Josh Johnson, this just sets them up for the long haul. It sets them up for the long run. Just in case they have any, these crazy COVID outbreaks, like they had last year and the Browns are going through, not even just the Browns, but just NFL wide is going through right now. Just in case that happens. And of course, just in case of injury, which they are going through right now when it comes to Lamar Jackson. So it's him, if he misses the game again, Tyler Huntley. And with Tyler Huntley, this thing, we've been saying it all week, it can go two ways. And hopefully it goes in the way that's more in Tyler Huntley's favor. Because in his previous two games, these teams were planning on facing Lamar Jackson, the Bears and the Browns. Bears game Lamar sick, Browns game Lamar got hurt. Then came, they weren't game-planning for Tyler Huntley. But now on the flip side of that, Tyler Huntley wasn't game-planning for them either. And the Ravens weren't game-planning for Tyler Huntley to face them either. So as much as it could work in the benefit of these opposing teams, like, all right, now we got a game-plan for Tyler Huntley. Now we got it. And it's crazy because multiple Packers people that I've spoken to, I've got another video with another Packers guy coming out later on. But they both said the same exact thing about Mobile Quarterbacks. And they said, man, we hate when the Packers go against Mobile Quarterbacks. And this season, even if just looking at those two games alone that Tyler Huntley played, this season, Tyler Huntley has been more Mobile than Lamar Jackson. Again, you could tell Lamar has been off. I've seen some people saying, well, ever since he did that flipping the end zone in the Chiefs game, that's when everything just was out of whack. That's when he heard himself and he hasn't been the same since. I can't agree or disagree with that. What I would have to do is actually watch. I have to watch how he was running in the Chiefs game. And then I have to watch how he was running in every game after that to see if that really seems to be the case. I have to see. Because there was a day following that Chiefs game in practice where Lamar, they said he missed it because of a rest day, he was sore, something like that, I believe. But then he came back like the following day. But so, hey, that could be it. But I would just have to see it for myself. But it is something to think about, something to consider. Is that the case? Hey, we'll never know. Well, actually we might. Because you know, a lot of this injury news, it comes out after the season. After the season. Unless it's Baker Mayfield, he's like, man, I'm playing with this bad shoulder. I'm playing with this bad wrist. I'm playing with these Bruce Ribs and all that. But anyway. Oh. So with Lamar, again, long term. It's got to be long, it has to be, Ravens have to apply long term thinking to his injury situation. I've seen some people say, oh, man. These players these days, wow, they're so soft. They're selfish, man. Lamar, oh, you got a, you got a sprain ankle, man. When we played football, we played, if we had a bruiser, sprain ankle, we just played on that bad boy. We went out there, laced him up and still played. And that's fine. If that's what you did in your day, no problem. But you also weren't playing professionally, one. And you were not getting ready to get a $400, $500 million contract in the next two years. You weren't on the verge of getting that. So I think the situations are far different from one another because I don't think those are really comparable situations, my friends. You can try to compare, but they're not really comparable. But that's fine. Whatever you did in your day, you made plays on that bruiser, sprain ankle, whatever it might have been. Good for you. Happy for you. Hope you won that state championship with your school or what, not your high school, your middle school, whatever school. But anyway, Raven's got to play it smart with this one. And again, it seems like they're trending toward that. But I just hope that they stay on that trend. And again, under Hardball's tenor, as long as he's been the head coach, again Friday has been the day that's been the telltale day. That's the day that lets you know, all right, this player ain't practiced Friday. Yeah, they probably ain't play. Now, there's been some, what's the word? There's been some, I can't think of the word right now. Oh, I cannot think of the word right now, where there's something that usually happens, but then there's some cases where something out of the norm happens and what's usual doesn't end up happening. I really can't think of the word. But anyway, there's been some times when he's went against that, but it's very far and few. So don't expect them to play. We will obviously won't know for sure until, you know what would be really petty though, but I was gonna say, we won't know for sure until about an hour and a half before the game. So that would be at 2.55, because 90 minutes, that's 90 minutes before the game. That's when the the actives and actives comes out. But what would be really, but they can't do this because they can't afford to waste a roster spot. But Ravens are a very petty team. So it would not surprise me if they actually did it. But what would be crazy and crazy petty? If the Ravens, oh boy, that would just be another level. But again, Ravens can be another level of petty sometimes. What would be crazy petty? If the Ravens, they waited and waited, like they've been doing, because again, you gotta keep the Packers guessing, I guess. But if they waited and waited and waited, and then on the injury report, on the actives and actives, Lamar was active. That would be so petty. Ooh, that would be so petty if he was active. Oh my goodness, that would be something right there, man. And I can't put it past the Ravens to do something like that. Again, the roster, it's tough spots with the roster because even though you lost like everybody, you got like 50 people on injured reserve and it's a 53 man roster. But if the Ravens were to do something like that, oh boy. And I could really see them doing it. Not this week though, don't do it this week. Say that for another time. Say that for pre-season or something. But anyway, team can be clean, I appreciate y'all. I love y'all so much. Hardball will be speaking to the media. By the time you see this video, that presser may have already started. But Hardball will be speaking to the media. And I'm very interested to see how he words the situation with Lamar Jackson. If he actually says, oh, nope, yeah, he's not gonna play. But I don't think he's gonna say. I think what he's gonna say, and I'm recording this. I'm recording this at 12-11. 12-11. PM, 12-11 in the afternoon, obviously. I expect Hardball to say, well, yeah, unfortunately, Lamar hasn't practiced all week, but he's gonna be a game time decision. We'll see if that holds true or not. Cause I don't expect him to declare him out. Especially if they've been doing this all week. I don't expect him to declare him out until, again, 90 minutes before where they officially say Lamar Jackson is inactive. It's crazy that this will be the first game. This will be the first game that Lamar Jackson misses due to injury. Yeah. Cause the only games that he's missed have been due to him being sick. Cause that was the Bears game. Yeah, the Bears game. And that's it. I feel like there was another game too. Well, he's gotten sick, but he's come back and practiced and played. But yeah, it was the Bears game. So yeah, shout out to Lamar. Anyway, thank you, Beclean. Appreciate y'all. Love y'all. And like Lamar Jackson, probably is gonna be nine times out of 10 for this game against the Packers on Sunday. I'm out.
