We got a Lot a lot a lot a lot of questions Let's dive into it. Oh starting off strong. His first question came from Manny. He said could this be the worst defense The Ravens ever had oh yikes said a engraving shout out for Massachusetts love the work you do man. Appreciate it I'm gonna get straight to it. Hey, we doing the same thing. He said after watching the Dolphins I hear a lot of fans that want Roman out, but what about the job wink has done this year with the defense Yes, I know we have key players out, but there is not a Rotation out front in the defensive line I noticed how Campbell who's one of the oldest guys on the team We have him like on special teams, too. Well, let me stop you right there He do you not remember when he blocked that field goal in a coach game and that was one of the only reasons the Ravens won If he doesn't block that field goal Ravens probably don't win that game So that's why he's out there on special. I mean cuz I know you ain't talking about kick return He ain't out there. He's on a field goal block unit. The dude is like seven foot seven He's really like six foot seven, but he's a giant and he got long arms and long reach That's why he's out there on special teams, but let me continue He said he would do so much better in my opinion if we had a younger guy to do his job on special teams Well, we already explained that part same with Bowser I just see no rotation on that defensive line and that hurts the rest of the defense and it's Ferguson even on the team anymore He's just taking the roster spot while staying on the bench. Sorry for the long email man. God bless go Ravens Whoo, man. He brought it from jump so To go piece by piece. So what about the job that wink has done this year with the defense Whoo, the defense has been rough this year certainly has But they've had they've had some games where they're just out there and they are doing a great job And the offense is just not giving them any kind of help I mean we saw that in this in this Dolphins game The deep that now they did give us some big plays man And this defense has been giving up like a record of big plays especially when you compared to recent Raven season They've been giving up a lot of big plays But like especially in the Dolphins game They were super super been been been been been been been been been been been been been been been all the way back But they did not break They didn't break they just kept giving up field goals field goals field goals field goals field goals field goals field goals And in fact the first touchdown that was given up with a game came from Ravens offense When Sammy Watkins fumbled the ball and Xavier and Howard said oh, let me scoop this up like Ravens didn't want to Scoop me up and let me take it back to the house So that was Ravens offense that end up giving up the first touchdown not even a Ravens defense. How about that? so the the defense like they definitely had their bad moments though because I mean you look at the the Vikings game just four days before and It's like they Their biggest problem was the big plays in that game it when they stopped the big plays Vikings offense They hardly moved the ball Because it will get that big play to Justin Jefferson a big catch and I mean they mean the big run by Dalvin Cook It was just it was the big plays that and then the kick returning to but that's not defense that special teams So but then you've had the times when you think oh, yeah, the defense got it and they end up just They can't cover nobody they they leaving guys wide open like that bingles get that being ooh that bingles ooh Yuck yuck Now they killed it in the Chargers game they just killed it in the um in the Broncos game But in a coach game ooh the coach game again They were super super super been been been even though on that first draft they gave up there like 74 y'all screen pass But besides that they were getting like Up and down the field up and down the field the coach just moving the ball at will but in the first half They only gave up 10 points But the Ravens offense Didn't help they didn't help they didn't wake up until it was too late So I think the defense has been it's been historically bad Especially when again when you compare to recent defenses But the offense has made it that much worse and the offense when they get off to these slow starts a lot of us We forget about the good that the defense actually does We forget about it a lot of times Because they're out there so much because offense they're going in for three and out gonna feel three and out Why don't feel getting three and out three now three now three now three now. Oh first down. Oh, okay Then oh gotta putt now so the the the offense will not move the ball and then the defense They'll be doing a good job, but then they'll keep suffering for it because offense ain't moving now The defense has certainly not been perfect. They had they've been rough this year to them And you because you got guys like and that's why I said I feel like the Ravens should have simplified some things Just let guys get great at something before you have them trying to do like 50 million different things I know it normally winks defenses. They got you always got guys doing 50 million different things It's always the more you can do is but it's I feel like with that defense and this work is held it down It's been a defense that has been a tops the league when it comes to scoring And that's the biggest thing. That's the most important thing. Hey, if you if your defense is holding teams away from scoring That's what it's all about. That is what it's all about But you also got to make adjustments You also got to change stuff if it's not Working and I feel like a lot of times with with both our coordinators. It happens a lot We see where they just they can get sort of stuck in their ways And and they won't want to adjust and that can be very frustrating to see So hopefully in this second half of the season wink looks at everything and he's just willing to adjust more He's willing to do something different if his original plan just isn't working. I just feel like um, I Feel like one of the biggest things that I feel like the Ravens would be They will be in a better position if their safety's they played safety I know he liked blitz and different guys like I don't know he like showing blitz But not blitzing certain guys in different package. I know I get it You want to disguise plays and whatnot? You want to make the quarterback thing? Oh, who's coming? Where's he coming from? I don't know where he's gonna come from I get that and I understand that and I respect it But sometimes I feel like them safety just need to drop back because the corners that you have maulin Humphrey This is not been as busy. You know been as busy at all Anthony avid like you don't want to just keep putting your guys on an island If that island has been getting exposed all you you don't want to do that So when you keep bringing these safety's down there in inside the box and whatnot You keep bringing them a lot around a lot of scrimmage. Oh, okay, you gonna blitz. Oh, no, you're gonna blitz No, you're gonna blitz. You're gonna blitz. It's like I feel like you just yeah when it works It works and that's a beautiful thing But it also runs the risk of exposing your guys a lot which they have been exposed a lot this year Teams have shown they're not afraid of maulin Humphrey anymore. They will go right at him Sometimes he'll make the play now. Sometimes he won't like even the other night against the Dolphins To what jacobi said they were going at Jalen Wildover maulin Humphrey and they were winning a lot of times It was Mike jisiki. He they tried it. He ain't when but teams are going at maulin Humphrey They're not scared like you would think I Anthony avid. Oh boy This is gonna be a year for him because teams are going to go at him like no They still been going at maulin Humphrey more than ever so when you When maulin Humphrey doesn't have any help behind them like of course you want maulin Humphrey to do his thing But it would be nice if he had some help too if somebody's struggling You got to put them in a position to where they have help where it's not just them So I just feel like that in my opinion that has been one of the biggest issues this year with With wink in my opinion that it's just been guys have not been put in positions to succeed Now it's not all on him because wink ain't out there missing tackles He certainly wasn't out there enough in the beginning of the season missing all them tackles. Nope. That wasn't on him at all But then went with with these blown coverages and whatnot. I just I don't even know who that song Whether that's on him or that's on the players or some extra both. I don't know for that part But I just feel like I feel like he could definitely be a little better next question came from a boy Joshua B No speaking of defense. He said what's up in great even hope you day is going good in the family He's good. I noticed that we are not using Jimmy Smith as much anymore in the Vikings game I don't think I saw him in that corner or safety I saw him a couple times last night in the Dolphins game But I think we can and should use him more when Tavon Young was questionable coming back We used Chris Westree and not Jimmy Smith in that safety even though Brandon had a good game I still think we could have had Jimmy on the field for his veteran presence and knowledge What do you think? Thanks for reading this and can't wait for the next video. Stay safe Josh. We appreciate that Josh That is a really good question that I know a lot of us have been wondering like what is going on with Jimmy Smith? Because he just hasn't been out there much. I don't know if he's still injured I don't know if he's dealing with something. I don't know if the Ravens are just like, uh, we just don't want to rescue the injury. I really do not know what it is and the fact that yeah, like you said, they had Chris Westree out there They had number 30 out there instead of number 22. I was like, oh, oh, okay And I was just talking to one of my guys. I think my guy Nick the other day And he was asking the same question and I was like, maybe maybe they just preserving him for the long run I just don't know and he said preserving him for what? And he answered me just like that. I don't know I don't know But the the whole jimmy smith thing is a very very good question that I I do not have the answer to at all Next question came from my god dawg and he said ain't graven. Hope all is well with you and the family I try to make this short. I remember over the past year So fans have almost been begging for the Ravens to incorporate more screens and short passes into the game plan Hello, now it seems they finally started running them more but maybe a little too much Yes, uh in the last two games, they would throw a screen on third and tens basically Stifling the drive, but maybe it's just me. What do you think? Oh, no, it's not just you my friend Dallin is not just you that's uh been something that has just been It's like greg roman here He heard us talking about the screens and he was like, oh you want screens? I'ma give you more screens There you go. Take them all third and in India and I feel like on third and 10 like against the dolphins That's why I say dolphins had the ravens shook Their defense had ravens often shook because the fact that you throwing these screens on on third and long And you doing it over and over again. It's not working. I respect you for trying but After a couple of them you like, okay, let's scratch that because it ain't been working But you try over and over and over and over and over and over again And it's it's almost like the ma there was some points where he was just he had to get the ball out so quick Because he was so used to the dolphins defense getting there like that So dolphins defense did a phenomenal job of having his whole ravens offense shook They were shooketh in their booties But anyway, um That that It's it's all about balance. Uh, it's it's it's all about just some consistency Uh, and it's all about right right right time right place And for all the screens that the ravens were doing on uh, Thursday night against the dolphins It was not not right time right place. Uh at all it it was a whole lot of screens. Oh big yikes. Um So it's it's about doing doing it when the time is right and and and no you don't want to do it in a predictable way Anything like that, but you got to recognize like hey, this ain't that right now, man This ain't it, but yeah, it was certainly a overload of screens. Uh against the dolphins next question came from my guy Oh chapel. He said what's up engraving over the famous doing good Now there was a live stream where we were streaming and he kept spamming batman batman batman batman So I had a time I'm out. I'm like, man, you ain't got to do all that spam And we see we see it after the first time But anyway, he said, uh, I didn't mean any harm when I was spamming that I'm just big on batman The guy is special. He played the last two drives only in the second half and led the team in yards Hollywood dropped us out the game. I think batman deserves a shot at wide receiver one What do you think if you don't mind me asking and ps I didn't mean it Uh, that this is where the real fans come come. I needed to let it out my bad. Okay. It's all good, man. Anyway, um I feel like we we have three Wide receiver ones on a team Um, we know what semi walkings can do when he's healthy like that game against the dolphins Oh, and I was actually talking to a uh, a chiefs fan in the comment section Um of a video, uh recent video. He said, oh man, sammy's washed. He's washed I said, no, well, hold up. Did I say a chiefs fan? I hope I said chiefs fan If I if I didn't say chiefs fan, I meant chiefs fan So I was talking to a chiefs fan and he was like, oh sammy's washed I said, no, no, he's not washed and the guy was like, oh, what how many games has he missed for y'all? And then he then he fumbled against the dolphins. He's washed And I said so I said injury prone. Yes, but that's what we all expected. We knew that going into it But I said a fumble in a game It does not make somebody washed And I said sammy walkings had actually been doing pretty good for us this season overall Because he had been and he had opened up so much for hollywood brown And then allowed hollywood to be better too. And he sort of let hollywood take the lead almost And it's it's like so I know wash no Engine hurt. Yeah, but wash no So with uh sammy walkings hollywood with bateman, we got a nice trio But we just want to see them all used effectively and efficiently The way that uh with rashaab bateman It wasn't hollywood's night on on against the dolphins at all. He had a pretty bad night He had drops he just It was not a good night for him at all But bateman on the other hand bateman was looking a lot better And it's nice when you have you can bounce off of guys like hey if one guy ain't doing so good one night All right, you go to the other one if the other guy ain't doing so good one Okay, you go to the other one But you hope that both of them can do well every night, but it just doesn't happen like that So with uh with walkings it wasn't his night with hollywood It wasn't his night. I guess that all the floater boys are just off that night So yeah, I do think bateman should have been featured more and he should continue to be featured a lot Because he's nice. He's nice and he is in a fair already. So yeah, I agree with you Next question came from my guy Fernando. He said ain't graven. I love watching Raven's content You and one of my go-tos I understand that you've been playing in the game for the dolphins But man, I missed your live stream big today on the night that the dolphins played the ravens Every time the ravens have been down this he always turned up your live stream to grief together as a community Yeah, we we do do that. That's true. We can all be sad together when the ravens lose Especially depending on how they lose. But anyway, he said sadly enough though, you didn't have one this week I am kind of superstitious and every time I have you on in the background We always find a way to win a coincidentally we didn't against the dolphins I believe it is due to all the haters last trolls jinxing it out the way I understand you can't live stream in the loud crowd. I just wanted to let you know how much you have missed Thank you Pete. Thank you for your content um, well first I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the uh, the live streams and we have a lot of fun in the live streams Whether the ravens win whether the ravens lose is obviously a lot more fun when they win um, but think about This why uh, my my live streams, they don't have anything to do with the ravens winning or losing Any commentators or fans or trolls like you said jinxing it. No, no such thing as jinxing They don't have anything to do with it. If the ravens win or lose Um, because think about it like we we stream we stream the raiders game week one of the season Ravens lost We stream that bingles game a couple weeks ago Ravens lost We stream week two would beat the chiefs. We stream the lions game We stream other games the charges game with a raven. So it's it's not any old When you stream we win or when you stream we lose. No, it ain't got nothing to do with me Whatever games the ravens gonna win they gonna win whatever games ravens gonna lose they gonna lose Um, but yeah, it is nice that we can all like again. We can we can all enjoy the moments together Um, because that that that special and it's fun um now He also asked how are you feeling about this squad after this game all the late wins keep me hopeful until of course they lose I like that, um They they just got a bounce back They they got a bounce back the day that i'm recording this is uh Wednesday, november 17th and lamar He missed practice today due to sickness now. We know every time lamar misses practice due to sickness Oh, the the the next game. He's on fire So bears they better watch out because it's by the beat bounce back season And the last question on this episode came from a boy, uh, big drizzly He said Hey, graven I just want to say I love your channel been watching for a while and you shout out my comments I had a few time on your live stream and it made me feel even that much more involved So thank you for that really appreciated. No, I appreciate you If you comment in the live streams or sending question from subscribers, you're part of this like this is team keep it clean Not I keep it clean not me keep it clean It's we keep it clean because we team keep it clean, but I appreciate you man. He said Um, how do you think playing three games within seven days vikings last sunday? They might be thursday and now the bears this sunday That's not three games within seven days. Is it i'm pretty sure it's not No, that's not no, no, no, it's it's not that's no it's that's impossible Um, because now I gotta pull out a calendar because I know it's not but I gotta see it for myself that it's not All right, so today's the 17th. We played on the 11th So we played but before then we played on the 7th. That was the vikings on the 7th It was dolphins on the 11th. Then we got that 10 day break And then we play again on the 21st. So I just had to clear that up um, anyway He said how do you think that many games back to back is going to affect our team mentally and physically and how do you predict We will play against the bears. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question I hope to hear the next episode and sorry it was so long. I know I saw a good man All right, so yeah the schedule. No, that that wasn't the schedule They they had to play all those games in all those days Well in that limited amount of days, but now it's it's about the bounce back You this was supposed to might be dolphins game was supposed to be a gimme Uh, but the ravens were like here you have it. Uh, but it's it's all good It happens and then when you look around the whole nfl you look everybody fell for the trap everybody did um when you uh Ravens, I didn't realize but I guess when they talked about the record, um this week Ravens have never won a game in Chicago I do remember the last time we played Chicago in Chicago That was that game that I think got delayed by like Two hours. It was crazy crazy delay for that game. Um And the ravens end up losing like at the very end too. So the game was long I think that might have been the longest game I've ever been a part of man I'll ever watch not been a part of but because Superbowl was long I think that game against the bears was longer than the Superbowl though I forgot what the weather was in Chicago But there's something crazy in that they had to delay it. Like I said, oh man, I think took forever I remember I was watching at the sports bar So like it would have been one thing if I would have been able to watch it From the crib, but I had to watch it from a sports bar. So I just sitting there I'm like, okay, I get some more chicken wings. Okay. I get some more fries. Okay. I eat a little bit more here and there but anyway um I think that they I mean they ain't got no choice but to bounce back because If you lose against the bears too, then you're just allowing everybody in your division to creep on up And right now you're sitting at a not necessarily a sweet spot But a good see is first in your division despite losing to the dolphins You could have took a commanding lead in the division, but you decided you want to lose to the dolphins Okay, cool. You make mistakes stuff happens um So now ravens just you got to get focused because they will really have no excuse because this is almost like a bye week Because you just played on a thursday and now you have a whole 10 days to be off A whole 10 days to be off and this kind of um It kind of sort of matches you up with the bears Because the bears they were on a bye week. So they're coming off a bye week You're coming off a 10 day break. So it's sort of levels out the playing field a bit Uh, so that's something important to uh to to keep in mind But the ravens they they have to be on point It's so important that they start off strong. It's up because this bears team they got confidence Because they saw what what happened in that stealers game. They like, oh man. Yeah, we end up blowing it We end up coming up short, but still They took it to the stealers and the stealers really only won because all them bad calls Like the the refs and nfl were like, no, ain't no way we about to let bears upset these stealers. Oh, no, it ain't happening tonight So the the bears could have got it But there was a lot of okie dokie going on that night a whole lot So bears know that they can hang so they already got some confidence and now they got all this time of game Even though I think the the record is something it's like bears are like Ah, I forgot since when but they said they're like oh and seven coming off a bye something crazy Something crazy, but I'm like, oh big yikes Hopefully that record doesn't get broken, but it gets extended So we'll see but I do expect the ravens to to bounce back Um and really just right the ship like right away And it starts with Chicago
