 Ravens going forward not backwards first question came from my boy Jared He said ain't Raven my favorite and biggest Ravens youtuber. Hey, I appreciate you watching the videos, baby Thank you for supporting JL. I wanted to first take the time and give you your flowers Your consistency your willingness to be wrong Hey Straight up man Straight up man. Oh, but But yes, you're right and your willingness to be wrong a lot of times we all wrong. You already know But yeah, yeah, yeah, we ain't gonna problem being wrong way Your knowledge of the game And also the different perspectives you give the flock is the reason you're in the position you're in I appreciate that a lot Jared Thank you, man That was just the first paragraph who we got a while to go. He said the fact that even The fact that even as a longtime Ravens fan, you can disagree with certain aspects of the Ravens philosophy just fills me with joy Your part of the fan base not the cult You can be objective and objectivity as a fan is my favorite asset you bring to the table my my thing is um Everybody everybody fans their own way everybody watches the Ravens. How do you want to watch it? You gotta be like cracking up man. Everybody, uh, they enjoy the Ravens. How do they want to join him? And that's fine There ain't nothing wrong with it But I just I'm not I'm not a yes, man, and I feel like just in life in general if you just surrounded by nothing But yes, man Then that there's not gonna be any accountability There's not gonna be much advancement and you're just gonna be stuck wherever you are forever like my wife my wife and she will tell me like if We did a video or something or we did we did we might have added something to a video or taken it away or had an idea And if it's a bad one, she feels it's a bad one. She will tell me no that no That is not a good idea. I don't think that I don't think that's a good move. She will let me know quickly honestly and gladly and I appreciate that. I love that. I love that So I because if people just like oh everything you do is good everything you do is great No, man. It's always it's room for improving for everybody. I For me, I know Me hearing people say it all now I can't even say that for me though because we got people on here people hop on here They just be mad for whatever reason like this sucks. That sucks about engraving that sucks about him, too Oh, he needs to do this. He needs to do that. He didn't got about to say I'm my own biggest critic Can't even say that cuz so many people I've online and they just be mad for no reason So I can't even say I'm my own biggest critic, but I do try to Just look for small ways to improve stuff not anything over the top not nothing drastic not none dramatic But I try to look for small ways to try to get better Really at everything but specifically speaking about like the videos and stuff always try to look for ways to get better But anyway, I'm going way left and that's something. Hey a lot of people complain about that, too They say engraving ranch too much. She talks too much like one guy What got the other day? He I blocked him already now, but he he commented on the video and he said this was like I'm recording this on Sunday, July 24th He commented this on a video from the 23rd or 22nd one into He was like man, um You just you just like to hear yourself talk You just like to hear yourself talking then give us the information later You need to give us the information first and then entertain us later. I Know he was having a bad Friday or Saturday. Whatever day it was. I know he was having a rough day cuz it's like Again, you can't please everybody. You can't you're not gonna make everybody happy with whatever it is you do so Just blocked a little little move on man. Everything ain't for everybody. But anyway, um, I Appreciate this Jerry because this this is funny, man Oh, but what I was saying is he look at look at me ranting again and just talking and I get into the point But a that's me some people like some people don't it's okay if you do cool if you don't that's cool, too With the Ravens Yeah, I don't agree with everything that they do I agree with some stuff I don't agree with some stuff, but I just feel like there's a way to present everything There's a way to present what you agree with there's a way to present what you don't agree with and everything can be done with respect We're not out here. So, oh man, these guys they this they that Well, he's no disrespectful names But it's like some people they they can do it some people can't do it but we just try to We just try to show people that it is possible to Like stuff that the Ravens do and express it and this like that stuff that the Ravens do and express it That's all part of it, man. It's all part of it It's all part of growth. It's all part of respect. It's all part of fun, too And we try on here. We always say oh try to take ourselves too seriously We ain't walking around like this all mad and all tense and all these these Ravens. They better not make me mad today They better not upset me today. They better not make a decision That's gonna ruin my day and I try to tell people that too please Nothing that the Ravens do Should ever ruin your day Football it is a business. It's an entertainment business. It's fun. There's a lot of entertainment that happens in football and we love it But nothing that well any team whatever team you're a fan of nothing that whatever team you're a fan of does Should ruin your day understand getting into the moment I understand we be all into the games and stuff when the team wins like yeah, let's go when the team loses like oh man, but it shouldn't ruin your whole day And I've had days like way back in the past with Ravens loss and it's like oh I even in the playoff playoffs especially But recently like playoff losses elimination games It sucks, but it's like man. Well, okay what's next And I got some different experiences in that too now like the last playoff loss who was it against the bills And that was just one of them games where it was like man Okay, because it got to the point when Lamar went out. It was like, oh, okay. Yikes. There we go um and then uh There was that little That little glimpse of hope where It was the fourth and something and Tyler honey through the ball to hollywood, but their connection was just a little bit off Um, and after that was incomplete. It was like, okay. Well, I guess this game's over But it ain't ruin my day. It ain't ruin my night Um, there was the uh, that was 2020 then the previous year 2019 I flew up there for the playoff game flew up flew up there for the playoff game Went to it dressed an extra one clothes because I thought it's gonna be cold and boy. I was sweating Uh, because it was hot. It was like Florida weather that game went all the way up there for it and they got dog walked They ruined my night. No, they didn't ruin my trip up there No, I mean it was an in and out trip. I went up there for the playoff game and came right back home But no, you don't you can't let that stuff ruin ruin it for you can't don't don't let This that entertainment don't let it ruin like real life So that's it. I understand like people um, are very passionate about How they feel about team players this and that and that's cool but There should be in my opinion. There should be like a cap on it Um, it should be a limit on it and and for this cap this cap is not cap there should be like a limit on like like I don't know man. I just It's fun talking and they they do some things that get us excited and whatnot and it's cool and whatnot. Um But yeah, just more so when the Because I've I've seen it a lot of people say, oh man. He's raving. They they ruined my day No, man, it's it's so much more important stuff out there That should be impacting your day And I understand too that watching football. It's like a nice little vacation It's like a nice little getaway for like three hours real quick from whatever you got going on Whether stuff is going good for you in life and stuff is going bad for your life It's just it's just a nice little quick getaway some entertainment for a couple hours football game You just want to watch these skilled athletes do their thing for three hours And it's fun. It's a whole lot of fun And you got your ways how you think the game is going to go because of this and that and the third It's nice to see when you're right and like my god jarrett pointed out. It's nice to see when you're wrong too Hello, that's me all day, but It's all in fun. So and we can get uh, we can get just just so Involved in it and it's just But yeah, don't let it take over though Like for them three hours are cool cool cool Then maybe like an hour after you may be watching watching a little post game stream that we might be doing cool But then after that it's all right And what the post game stream serve as too it's just a way to sort of Breathe sort of way to Talk about it I talk about how I feel about it. We we talk about it together We talk about different parts of the game different things that happen in the game and whatnot and then it's all cool That's that all right. Well Raven's either lost or they won or they tied Then season either continues or it doesn't continue It all depends so but it it should not ruin a day but anyway so All off season. I've been hearing Raven's fans and analysts alike express the want and expectations for the Excuse me uh to express the uh The want and expectations for the Ravens to go back to their 2019 style of offense sigh This is the nfl you never go backwards. You only build off of your prior success That's what literally killed off Kaepernick in the 49 of success. Jiro never evolved their offense and you know what's funny um After 2019 After the playoff loss after the season was over and so many videos I questioned. All right What's next? What now? How do the ravens build off of what they just did on offense? How do you build off of that? How do you get better? Where do you go from here? Because that was my biggest question I know so many Again analysts like you mentioned a lot of fans too. They they they always say, oh You guys complaining about Greg Roman now, man Well, you where were you guys complaining after the 2019 season? I ain't here. You guys saying nothing then Of course, nobody was complaining ravens just went 14 and 2 more on MVP. Nobody's gonna play now, of course But I was questioning What are they gonna do now? Where are they gonna go from here? What's next? How is this offense going to evolve? That's a word that I always use. How is this offense going to evolve and take that next step? Because it was important. It was something that we needed to know Besides like, okay, what are they gonna do next time they make the playoffs? Are they actually gonna have a playing B or playing C? That's a whole another set of questions. But my first question. How are they gonna evolve? um But anyway He said giro never evolved the 49ers offense Not only is that problematic in the development of limar jackson, but it also couldn't even be Done Let me explain your two franchise backs are coming off of serious injury Your franchise left tackle is coming off of missing two seasons from serious injury the uncertainty at left guard Nick Boyle is coming off a year where he was not himself and we think somehow the ravens drafted two mid-round tight ends We will be able to top We would we would be able to be the top rushing team in the NFL Oh, I thought you were gonna throw in nick boyle also coming off of serious injury because he had been as well And he just yeah, he wasn't quite right He said I don't think so and I don't think that should even be the go I think the ravens should continue to build off of their success in the passing game Spread it out run a high tempo offense that limar has shown time and time again He is the most comfortable running mixing the run when the numbers are in your favor I have seen so many ravens fans talk about this throughout last season Why aren't the ravens running more up tempo offense? Why don't the ravens run a more fast-paced offense because they saw when the ravens ran a fast-paced offense they had a lot of success last year The year before the year before that too The ravens they they can You don't want it to be it doesn't have to be fast-paced every draft I'm not saying that and I'm not sure if you are not Jared But I don't think it should be fast-paced every single draft But they can up this thing a lot Because if you up the pace of the offense, you can really take advantage of defenses You already have Lamar Jackson and he is just a mismatch at quarterback period But if you run a more up tempo offense, yeah, you gotta be having success now because you don't want no chip kelly style offense Where y'all like boom boom boom boom boom boom and y'all going three and out You don't want that because your offense gonna be tired your defense gonna be tired and it could be bad So you just the tempo can increase a little bit All these these oh, we got five. We got two seconds left set. Oh false start So oh delay a game Oh bad snap. Well bad snap can really happen anytime, but You get what I mean They gotta get better at pre snap They gotta get because sometimes ravens We could talk about opponents doing this that in the third But a lot of times ravens can be their own biggest enemy. They can be their own worst enemy And there can be this like lack of preparation And we've been seeing this throughout the years This is not a 2021 thing. We saw it in 2021. We saw it in 2020. We saw it in 2019 This was something that we've been seeing I exclude 2018 Lamar Jackson was a rookie. They were doing a shift That's when they were going through a shift. So I exclude that But 20 that we've been seeing it since 2019 That's an issue. That's a big issue And that's I always say That for ravens in my opinion For ravens to have the ultimate success They just got to fine tune a lot of different small things They ain't got to do these drastic shift. They ain't got to do these seismic changes and all It's a bunch of little things Just improve on a bunch of little things And you could just do so much better in my opinion though Not just my opinion. I know my opinion doesn't hold much weight and that's fine I hold much weight but my opinion doesn't hold much weight But that's okay. But it's just a lot of little small things That could make Real big differences in my opinion But as far as I love how you said they should continue to build off of their success in the passing game I 1000% agree I do I do Ravens their focus in my opinion should be the passing game not saying they become this passing team I mean they could um but Because it's like we know That they they're gonna be at a run the ball They're gonna be at a run the ball Yeah, the offensive line straight as far as like health and stuff. You're gonna be at a run the ball You're going to So much of defense's attentions are focused on Lamar Jackson anyway So that helps any running back that's back there But as long as we got guys that we know back there not just a bunch of random guys that we just randomly got like davante free Militavius Murray leaving on bill even though Davante free man as the season went on he got better and better and davius murray a little bit too but Having the guys that you know back there. It helps a whole lot Um, I love how you brought out the point and it's something that I haven't even really thought about How you brought out the point of really taking pressure off of the backs that are coming back Because they're all coming back from major injuries And it would be kind of and I know jk's dealt with major injury before he came back obviously But it's almost like it would almost be unfair to just expect those running backs to just pick up where they left off at All right, you're back. Oh, okay, same because it was you were before all your back All right, same uh jk dive into you were before And it's justice here too. He coming off major injury too Then Ronnie Ronnie Stanley too We all of course hope that he's healthy, but we also hope that when he does get back He is all the way back and he is The good Ronnie saying he is the Ronnie Stanley that got paid all that money And this ain't about like pocket watching or like that, but I'm saying that they paid him because they love his game That's the Ronnie Stanley that we want to see out there. That's the Ronnie Stanley. We hope we get back But I do love your point about just really um Trying to alleviate pressure off of those guys and put more pressure on that passing game because It shouldn't be a question even though some people still question it It shouldn't be a question whether Lamar can pass now. We know he can pass. We don't seen it I saw somebody in the in the comment section. They were like, oh, it's We still wondering if Lamar can uh Can pass can can throw the Ravens back. Oh, that's what they said. They said, um There's no way that Lamar could hang Uh, we're like could come back. I think against or hang with Brady or Rogers And they were like if if he was down in a game, then he wouldn't be able to come back I said, wait, wait a minute Why would you say that? Because he's already shown multiple times multiple times That he can throw his way back into a game Ravens have shown multiple times that they can be down multiple scores And throw their way back in a game They've shown they can come back It's crazy because with Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Always has something to prove to people No matter what he's already proven He always has something to prove to people no matter what he's already proven It's like Lamar Jackson people have a Lamar Jackson prove it list They'll have it hanging on the wall And This is what they'll do They got all this stuff written down all Lamar Jackson can't throw Lamar Jackson can't come back from behind Lamar Jackson can't come back from being behind multiple scores So he'll do those things and instead of crossing those things out They'll erase them and just write something else all Lamar Jackson can't do this They'll replace them with something else that Lamar Jackson needs to prove to them Because they don't want to believe that he can do what he's already done And they want to move the goalposts and whatnot. We we we see it all the time But anyway back to the question Um, I do believe yeah, they should focus on the passing game more By the coaching hires over the past two years. It seems as if they will But we got to see We got to see We got to see He also, oh We didn't get to his question He said my question is what type of style of offense. Do you think the Ravens should run this upcoming season? What should be the focus? What are you tired of seeing and what would you like to see more of? Oh, whoa, we didn't already cover this then We didn't already cover this What is the the type or style of offense? I think the Ravens should run this upcoming season More passing offense, but just an offense that attacks defenses weaknesses and that sounds so simple This is sounds so simple so simple Well for some reason for the Ravens is not I would like to see an offense Whoever whoever you got at wide receiver. I don't even feel like having a conversation right now But whoever's going to be there at wide receiver. I would love To see the Ravens put those guys in positions to what made them draft them in the first place I would love to see Ravens put those guys in positions to where it really utilizes their strengths maximizes their strengths and maximizes their opportunities when they're on the field I would love that. I would love it I would love to see an offense where Lamar Jackson is not your feature back Well, Lamar Jackson is not your lead rusher And I know it's hard to like Really just stamp the numbers like that and be like, all right Lamar should only have X amount of rushing y'all. I ain't saying that but I just feel like I would love to see an offense where Lamar can put it in somebody else's hands a lot more often And I know he's going to do those things That really helped the Ravens and he's going to do whatever he can. He's going to do those special plays that we know He does all the time And that's fine. I but I just think um A lot of it should not be by design in my opinion Because there's some like the rpo where he put it in jk dobbing his chest or Gus Edwards chest and then he said, oh, no I'm keeping All right, you're gonna have some of those cool cool cool Just those A lot of those plays where they line up in Lamar just snap Then he just runs with it from jump Just to to to ease up on those a bit Just to ease up on those a bit um All right, it's it's Oh Then he said, what are you tired of seeing? There we go. That that would be it I'm also tired of seeing this offense. Just not have any rhythm That's one thing. I'm tired of seeing Something they'll be working and it'll still be working Then they'll be like, oh, you know what? Let's do something else And I understand trying to keep the defenses off off guard, but you Ravens a lot of times they throw themselves off guard From doing stuff like that One thing that I'm tired of seeing is Ravens over complicate things Over complicate things I love how my my guy JT always says whenever we go back and forth and we talk Ravens He always says football is not that complicated Not that complicated It's not that complicated so Yeah, man, this was a really fun question to realize it was gonna go Like this this if we wanted to this this could be its own episode Of questions from subscribers be one question from a subscriber shout out to Jared But yeah, man, I I appreciated this a lot. I appreciated the points you brought out. I appreciated Just everything. Thank you very much very much because You gave us a lot to talk about um With your question the way you put things the way you worded things the points you brought out The questions you asked so we we appreciate this a lot You to keep it clean. You see my boy. He like automated Well, that's my homie ain't that right in graven Shout out to
