 One thing that I was thinking about and we're gonna get into the video in like a second But one thing that I was thinking about earlier today. I'm like man. I've really been seeing y'all Every single day for like the past four years There'll be a day here and there where we won't see each other But literally like pretty much 99% of every single day. We've seen each other for like the past four years Maybe even five. I don't know but I appreciate y'all I love y'all so much and I thank you for just supporting this channel and making team keep it clean what it is Just a lot of positive people Just talking about football mostly talking about the Ravens really talking about whatever with football and it being a safe environment Hey, if you got an opinion on some you could share it ain't nobody gonna be Oh, man, you stupid We not on that somebody disagrees. Okay. They disagree respectfully Somebody agrees. Okay. They agree respectfully everything done with respect. They should be done with respect And if it's not done with respect then bye, but anyway, I love y'all and I really appreciate y'all a lot for real For anybody that's not subscribed make sure you subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on so you don't miss anything Because regular season is like right around the corner But we still in preseason for now and somebody who wants to play in the preseason game the Ravens preseason finale Is Lamar Jackson What y'all think about that now, of course John Hall ball He was having his presser a few days ago and speaking to the media and he let it be known like hey Yeah, Lamar Jackson, he wants to play in this last preseason game now Lamar Jackson I believe the last time he played in a preseason game was the infamous JK Dobbins Game where he got injured versus the commanders right on that first drive and that first drive they ran a screenplay and Bradley Bowesman mr. Block JK got hurt. I don't remember who the defender was. There was no dirty play or nothing like that Just tackled him failed the wrong way and that was a wrap so I believe that was the last time Lamar Jackson played a preseason game now I know it's gonna be a lot of mixed opinions on this thing Some people may feel like a Lamar should play some people may feel like a not Lamar should not play Me I'm I guess I'm right in the middle of all of that because initially like So how about today the Lamar wants to play But then You think about it and when was the last time Lamar Jackson did play obviously he's been practicing and everything He's been a trainer can't been a forego for all of that, which is great but when the last time he played in a meaningful game and The preseason games are not meaningless, but um Last time he played in a meaningful game What was it November December of this past season because what he missed a he missed a obviously the playoff game What he missed the last four games, I think or the last five games I forget what it was, but he the last time he played was like November December of 2022 So that was that was it that was it I'm glad that he didn't play against the commanders because I would be worried that they may take some cheap shots against him Especially with the whole Mark Andrews thing with just the whole preseason streak thing I just there could have been some foul play there. So I'm glad he didn't play in that game, but against the Bucks Could he play like a series or two? He could and he might we will see if Coach John Hall ball grants Lamar Jackson that request Because I mean I we certainly wouldn't mind seeing him seeing him and some of the starters from offense or what not seeing him in like Every time we don't see Zay out there He just continued to wow us but like I said with Zay. Hey, I He ain't got nothing else to show. He ain't got nothing else to show He ain't got nothing else to prove we don't need to see nothing else from Zay flowers until week one So follow them I will keep him out, but then at the same time It's like over for Lamar playing I think they will probably want to play to a little bit Maybe Odell might want to play suit up. Maybe Nelson. I go maybe just maybe and I can see him playing just to again knock some rust off a bit just shake it off a bit and Just be like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm back Maybe yeah, throw a couple passes or whatnot do a couple of handoffs or whatnot and just Go out there do your thing even if it resulted in a punt just to be out there just for a tiny bit I could see why he would want to do that I could definitely see that. So if he played cool If I had to lean to one side with or another whether I felt like he should play or not Probably more towards or not But I mean, hey, it is what it is. If he plays he'll be fine. He'll be fine I know he was just throw some quick passes or whatnot Maybe take it like a deep shot or two and then call it a day and call it a day Whether you play one series where he played two series it wouldn't be nothing crazy. I don't think So, yeah, so we'll see if they go for it now on the flip side of that Some reasons why maybe he shouldn't play doesn't need to Not a big deal because unfortunately we've seen Lamar Jackson Missed the end of the season before and when he came back He was just fine He was straight. So like when he came back in the regular season, he was just fine He so he ain't missed nothing. He wasn't like, oh man, Lamar Jackson. He missed his time last year Now he's out of sync with the team. No, no, he's fine So that could be just the same thing why he doesn't need to play of course There's always the risk of injury in a In a preseason and we hate seeing that that's that is the worst the absolute worst and us Ravens fans We'd we know I mean even without preseason games. We know all about injuries The way that this Ravens team has been just really over the past like three years alone That's turned us all into medical experts like we all have learned so much about the body We've all learned so much about different bones and whatnot the way that they're structured We learned about different muscles and whatnot. We've learned about strength. We've learned about conditioning We all have learned so much about all of that as Ravens fans Especially these past three years because we've heard so many extensive and detailed reports about this that in the third And we tired of it like we tired of it some of y'all out there or doctors and whatnot Y'all got these bachelor's master's doctorate degrees and whatnot But there are a lot of us that now with everything that the Ravens have been through We got that same level of education without having had to go to school for all them years and whatnot We got the same level of education because we know all about the body now So it's it's been crazy to see and crazy to watch and hopefully this is the year where we don't have to Just see any of that none of it So those will be some reasons why I think Lamar it could sit this one out my friend But again, he'd be fine if he plays him it'd be fine now Another thing to think about and somebody brought this up. This is a really good point Because somebody could be like well, he's learning the new offense. He's in a new offense And he's only been in this new offense in practice He's only been in practice training camp and all that but he hasn't gone up against a real defense Now not that he would be going up against a real defense because you know again three seasons or super vanilla and whatnot But they be throwing a little stuff here and there at you but They could be like all right Lamar new offense. Maybe he might struggle what not Let me get some of the kinks out of whatnot, but something that somebody appointed somebody brought out Forgot who it was my apologies and this was on Twitter. Well X whatever you want to call it He talked about how a lot of people will say Lamar Jackson Oh, he might struggle this year in a new offense because it's a brand new offense. It's like okay, then he was like well with that remember in from going from Louisville to The NFL that's obviously a new offense because he went from Louis went from college to working with under offensive coordinator Marty Monewake With the Ravens. This is rookie and Marty Monewake with the offensive coordinator, but then from 2018 to 2019 He into the brand new offense because Greg Roman was offensive coordinator. He became offensive coordinator then So that's a brand new offense. So he switched and then he just became This MVP and enemies MVP and whatever So he did just fine in a brand new offense then like so two years straight Well, actually three years straight because college one offense Louis 2018 one offense Monewake 2019 new offense Greg Roman So Lamar Jackson has been through new offenses before and had success remember his first year Whether he went six and one or seven and one in his rookie year after Joe Flacco went down with injury Then his second year in a new offense in the NFL. He went 14 and two So new offenses have not been a struggle for Lamar Jackson And not saying that he gonna come out here and it's gonna be perfect But I think that that fear of Lamar Jackson and new offense may be a bit overblown and With my guy had brought but at that point. I was like, oh, that is a Really really good point and something that I had not really thought about But that kind of eases it should ease a lot of Ravens fans concerns about the Ravens in this new offense Because Lamar Jackson is the leading obviously this offense goes as Lamar goes So, yeah, that's just something to think about but anyway Team keep it clean.
