 Pressure pressure It can bring out either the best or the worst in somebody and if certain people know that they're facing pressure and They can potentially be replaced They can either step up or it can make them step out So you two team keep it clean What's going on is saying Raven here with another video and in this video of course all the talk around Raven's town has been about There's Brian this there's Brian that why did the Ravens bring there's Brian in for a workout All the Ravens still going to sign one there's Brian now Y'all of course already know how I feel about the situation while I do feel like there's Brian could be a good fit for the Ravens I do not believe the Ravens are going to sign him I felt like there's Brian was just being used as a smokescreen for something else or somebody else, but today the Ravens they were speaking with one Miles Boykin and A quote from the interview from the press conference. It really made me think about Something different and I'm gonna explain it to you exactly what it is now the quote They of course asked Miles Boykin who a lot of people are thinking about that's the Ravens receiver That most people think about when it comes to there's Brian because of the similarities big body receivers Who got that big catch radius? So He was asked about how he felt about the Ravens bringing in there's Brian for a workout and he said honestly It has nothing to do with me Whatever happens happens. I have to focus on myself and this team first and that's a great answer because that's true it He does have to focus on himself in the team first There's Brian is not a current member of the Ravens. So Miles Boykin does not have to worry about there's Brian but Could the Ravens actually be using there's Brian to get to Miles Boykin Could the Ravens be had cut the smoke screen that I was thinking was about them possibly signing a different wide receiver Could that really be so they can actually motivate one of their own and the reason that I say that is because the Ravens they have used this sort of tactic before they've used this before with different players in different positions and It's either led to that player either doing this thing or it's led to that player either just being shown the door So with Miles Boykin, of course Miles Boykin is in is in his second year last year. He was very raw Last year. He was a rookie. He didn't get many opportunities when he did get opportunities though Usually it ended up working out for him. He did not have many drops He didn't have many catches either but when he did get a catch He made some stuff happen and there were of course a lot of times when Lamar didn't even end up looking his way And it just obviously that was an opportunity that he couldn't capitalize on because he wasn't throwing the ball So the Ravens are they have big hopes big expectations for Miles Boykin in his second year Now, of course the receiver that everybody's attention has been on has been Hollywood So Miles Boykin has been sort of not on the download But they just he hasn't been getting out of the all the attention like Hollywood has because obviously Hollywood was injured last year Hollywood was the first round pick last year Hollywood bulked up this year and Hollywood's been making all these plays and whatnot But I remember the day that it came out that the Ravens were working out there as Brian That was the day that they said Miles Boykin E ended up stepping it up a lot in practice They said he was catching all these pads. They said they did drop to but overall he had a really good day So I was thinking huh Could this actually be what the real smoke screen is? Could they have brought there's Brian in for that workout simply to put some pressure on Miles Boykin to tell him hey Miles step it up Because again, if that is the case, this wouldn't be the first time that the Ravens did that and it all reminds me to You think back to last year last season the Ravens did this same exact thing and It ended up working out. They actually got the guy a four-year extension Right before the trade trade deadline It was said and it came out literally right after the trade deadline had passed It was said that the Ravens were trying to acquire one Jamal Adams. What position does Jamal Adams play? He plays safety. Well, then didn't the Ravens just sign a safety to a 55 million dollar deal last offseason What they certainly did, but he plays the other safety position now He could play free safety, but he's played strong say that he just a safety period. He's a baller But it came out that the Ravens were trying to trade for Jamal Adams So what does that do? What does that make? How does that make somebody like a Chuck Clark feel? Who was is on a low contract? And he was the starter due to injury to Tony Jefferson Deshaun Elliott Chuck Claude Chuck Clark not Chuck Claude Chuck Clark got thrust into the starting role and what happened what what how did he do? Well Chuck Clark ended up balling out and he ended up getting an extension from the Ravens But could the Ravens have actually used Jamal Adams could they have actually used him to put some pressure on Chuck Clark to get A better performance out of him. Hey, who knows another person that they did it with was Nick Boyle if you go back two years ago When Nick Boyle became a free agent With two off seasons ago Nick Boyle became a free agent. So his contract was up It was all it was said that the Ravens wanted to resign him But nothing was happening the talks were just they were going slow and nothing was going on So what happened? What did the Ravens do? Oh a lot of y'all might have forgot sometimes I forget too But they brought in Dwayne Allen. They brought in Dwayne Allen for a workout or whatnot they brought him in for a visit and What type of tight end is Dwayne blocking is he a vertical threat? No, no He's a possession tight end and he's a good blocking tight end And that's exactly what Nick Boyle is and you guess what guess what happened a couple days after Dwayne Allen visit visited with the Ravens Oh, the Ravens and Nick Boyle they come to a contract agreement. What a coincidence, right? So they put that pressure on Nick Boyle like hey You're cool. We appreciate you But we got a replacement ready and waiting and willing just in case you don't want to get this done and Then another person who they put that pressure on but it it kind of worked in the opposite way with him Was Joseph Vincent Flacco with Joe Flacco It had been an up-and-down roller coaster sort of career had a lot of highs had some lows too And but overall, you know, we appreciate Joe Flacco and everything he did for the Ravens But then this was a mix of pressure and also it being time Joe Flacco coming into the last season where he actually has a good chunk of guaranteed money on his contract So the following season the Ravens could could have cut or traded Joe Flacco And it would have done a lot less damage than it would have done in previous years. What do they do? They draft a quarterback in the first round by the name of Lamar Jackson And that put pressure on Joe Flacco because yes while Joe Flacco was still the starting quarterback for the Ravens now You hear a stopwatch Not even a stopwatch but more so a timer a countdown Because now the countdown has begun to where you will be relieved of your starting duties and the more you perform Terribly perform bad or just don't perform up to standards then The shorter that countdown gets And the small amount of time you have left to Step it up So what happened with Joe Flacco? Did he step it up? Not really He didn't necessarily step it down even though in his last game as a raven. Oh, it was uh, it was rough It was rough. Um, just the the field vision was bad A lot of the decisions were bad and it was it was just rough for me but um That was that the the pressure ended up getting him sent out So the pressure like I said earlier the pressure it can work in so many different ways And it all just depends on the player But that's what I think this whole day is Brian thing could really end up being it could really be them putting pressure on Miles Boykin to step it up We'll see how miles Boykin responds to the pressure Team keep it clean Appreciate y'all So like there's Brian is with the ravens for now I'm out
