 So YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave in here with another video? I love y'all I hope y'all did your day and night even in whatever whenever you watching this hope everything going good I got to thinking earlier Think about these Raven is and something hit me in a different way And it made me kind of sad about these 2022 Ravens and a lot of Ravens teams that we've seen in the past too But certainly these 2022 Ravens because this is what we're currently watching This is the present. This is the time that we've living in right now Because I was thinking about it and I even tweeted it out I'm like man the Ravens with all of this stuff that they have on defense. I'm like man just Just imagine what it would be along with Marcus Williams Clean on Marcus Williams. He was balling man that dude like Ravens paid that dude was 70 million dollars And that was certainly a good well worth it Investment it went like way against their grain and it will weigh against what they normally do Bringing in outside free agents that are entering their prime and paying them big money. That's not that's just not the Ravens So when we saw that they did that with Marcus Williams It was a nice pleasant surprise and he delivered he delivered on that bread and he showed them like hey I got y'all so that's why that that that wrist injury that he got it hurt even more And what's funny? I will not tweeted that out earlier today about Marcus Williams Some people like hey man, he needed to just throw the club on he needed He needed to throw the club on his hand and just come back early because somebody was talking about how they saw I think a Seahawks player or a Patriots player They got a pick like last week and they had the club on their hand And we've seen a lot of players come back and play with the club on and whatnot so it's not impossible but still like I As much as we want Marcus Williams back and truck we all do like I think that's one thing that all Ravens fans agree on Marcus Williams has been nice for the Ravens But you don't want to rush him and depending on the severity of it. Who knows when he'll be back I don't know. No, he is on injured reserve. I forgot what we key I think it was against the Bengals that he went out So we played the Bengals then we played the Browns and we played the Bucks and I don't even remember who else But anyway, that's not that's but that's not the saddest part that got me that wasn't even a part that messed me up the most because I Was thinking about I Ravens just added Roquan Smith This allowed Patrick Queen to play even better and he been he been doing this thing for the most part this year He doesn't have some hiccups here and there but this allowed him to play better. This should help out This should help out just the whole defense and the defense even before Roquan Smith was even a thing The defense has still they've been coming together slowly, but surely They've been getting better and better. They've been clicking more. They've been jailing more things seem to be rolling but What I didn't even realize man What really got me because somebody a couple people pointed it out under under my tweet and What got me is that these Ravens these 2022 Ravens specifically the defense obviously the offense too But I was just focusing on the defense this defense will never ever This year that we will never see their full potential ever The reason I say that is because they will never ever be 100% healthy never and My thoughts were just about Marcus Williams, but some a couple people reminded me a to say a don't forget about Michael Pierce and I was like You're right. I forgot all about Michael Pierce All about Michael and he was killing it man He was doing his thing He and when they read first restyne Michael Pierce, I was like, okay Raven's really going for the whole reunion thing this year Brought back Michael Pierce. They tried to bring back us. There you Smith. They brought back a Brent Urban Initially brought back Tony Jefferson again, but they're like, ah, nah So he went to the Giants. He like hey, I'm over here winning more than y'all. But anyway I'm With Michael Pierce he he was playing really good and a lot of times when we think about injury when I think about injuries I completely forget about Michael Pierce and What I was saying earlier when when they first signed Michael Pierce, I was like, okay, cool I hope it works out. No, he looked good when he was with the Ravens before know what over there in Minnesota It's like I don't know how it was for them that much but ain't really hit too much from them since but um, I Was cool with it. But then in the preseason, I remember that there was one play. I think it was on the first Against the Cardinals, I think I think that's what we played first It was on like one of the first defensive snaps So one of the and I saw them like number 58 in the backfield and I was like What was that? Because I just didn't remember who it was and it was Michael Pierce I was like, oh, I forgot that they had signed him But he had looked good in the games that he played. So when he went out, it's like, man That that's a big blow. It's a big blow. And then first game of the season Cal Fuller Cal Fuller he went out too and Ravens like they had really done a pretty good job But really taking care of the secondary this year when it came to injuries really covering their butts when they came to Having guys ready for the secondary because again, Marlon Humphrey Marcus Peters They weren't completely right early on in the season But Ravens they they signed Cal Fuller late in the offseason They obviously still had Brandon Stevens or Darius Washington's on the practice squad. They drafted Jaylen Alma Davis They drafted Pepe Williams. So they really made sure like hey that they kept Keevon see more around too So they really made sure like hey, we're gonna have this defense cover. We're gonna have a secondary cup But yeah, so yeah, man, they're just Thinking about like the Ravens defense not now with Roquan Smith, too And I it just I'm like man Like that's tough, man. Injuries are the worst part about football, man They they can completely change seasons. They can change the trajectory of a team I mean Raven saw that last year But they can just they can derail everything fast now. Thank goodness like obviously not grateful for the injuries The injuries suck like straight up But we're grateful that we're Raven despite the injuries the Ravens defense has still been able to do their thing and you know what's weird like Raven and this is just me Let me know if you feel the same or different or whatever, but Ravens defense, I believe they are statistically bad Right now like oh their overall or whatnot But when I'm like watching They're not great yet. They're not bad though. They um They can play really good. They do have their times where they like they sometimes they just look like they just tired Sometimes they look like they just they just start giving up stuff, but overall They usually play pretty good overall in my opinion Got to do better catching the ball and they defensive players. So I mean it is what it is But they don't look bad to me They don't But I know the numbers are different now with the offense Sometimes I mean often just the flat out look bad, but their numbers say otherwise So it's like we like that's why I always say numbers don't always tell the whole story. They don't but Yeah, man, it just sucks that we're never gonna get to see this full 2022 Ravens defense maxed out to their complete potential and that's a bummer. That's a real bummer Because that's obviously the side that they they invested so much in heavily in and You just wish I mean we've been seeing a lot of return on investment Overall, I mean we wish it could be a little better So hopefully the second half of the season again because things have been rolling a lot more things been a lot smoother Hopefully the second half of the season they'll keep it going and get and continue to get even better But that was just That was just a little upsetting to me and then just going down memory lane this year. So no Michael Pierce No, Cal Fuller Marcus Williams out for a while Josh Ross he been out for a while. I know he should be back any time now No, but then Tyus Bowser, he should be back on Monday night football David a job. Oh, he'll be back over the next couple of weeks So this has been just a weird season for us Ravens fans when it's come to injuries because I Feel like we've gotten more guys back Then we've lost like we've We lost Ronnie Stanley a little bit this season. Well, but he ended up coming back Jake he he was lost early on in the season Then he came back and then he now he'd be lost for a little chunk of time Gus Edwards was lost for a little bit early in the season now. He's back and now he's what was to happens with his hamstring Justice Hill was he was playing in the early in the season then he got lost for a little bit now. He's back Tyus Bowser lost a little bit early on in the season and a job Oh lost a little early on in the season now there. Well Tyus Bowser back David a job. Oh soon will be too So you see what I'm saying Marcus Peters He had been sort of in and out Marlon Humphrey had been in and out Marcus Williams he lost for a large chunk of the season, but he should be back later on down the road Justin Houston got lost for a little bit in the season, but he's back now So you see what I'm saying like we're not used to this especially at the last year at the last year We heard somebody got hurt. Oh boom season over. That's a wrap But this year, I mean we obviously lost Joanne James and Kyle Fuller rest of the season Michael Pierce Rest of the season Steven Means rest of the season. So we're gonna still took some blows But this year as far as injuries, it's been a lot better as far as Recovery now is it coincidence? Is it the hire of Adrian Dixon from the Titans staff? I don't know you tell me But anyway, I'm happy to say that this year. We've heard a lot less people saying I'm out
