 So YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video We got to talk about this statistic that came out a few days ago from QB datamine and It has had Ravens fans going crazy and absolutely just driving themselves bonkers and that's not even a word that anybody uses anymore But it's been having Ravens fans go crazy and just has them so heated and upset And especially when wide receiver has been a topic of conversation for a very long time now, and I mean it always has it has been for years but this stat from this season Especially in a season where it seemed as if Lamar Jackson. He struggled a lot and There were some times where we had so many questions about the passing game and why is it the way it is? How can it get better? Please don't let it get worse, but then this statistic came out and let's see what it said It said that seven point five percent of Lamar Jackson's passes in two thousand twenty were dropped So seven point five percent of his passes were dropped Not bad passes not an accurate passes Not intercepted But dropped So his past catchers whether it be receivers whether it been tight ends Whether it been running backs those passes were dropped 7.5% of them and then let's add a little fuel to the fire He also followed that up and said the Baltimore Ravens quarterback was sabotaged by his receivers more often than anyone else in the League So the wording when Ravens fans saw that oh, they were like I can't stand it. They got so mad and then on top of that He also included a video with it and you know people are very visual So they can hear something all day and they can only reach a certain level of anger But then when you see it It'll take you to a whole nother level So they included a lot of the Ravens drops in the video and when you watch the video, it can't make you upset trigger warning It can make you upset because you'll see so many what if plays. Oh, man Lamar Jackson will be facing pressure. Oh The story of 2020 but he'll be facing pressure and a lot of pressure and he'll run around make some guys miss and still Find a way to get the ball accurately to his receiver and the receiver dropped So when you watch that and you read that tweet the wording was very powerful It can make you be like, oh my goodness and then the follow-up in a thread It said no other quarterback reached 7% So Lamar Jackson his passcatchers they dropped 7.5% of his passes all throughout last year But no other quarterback even reached 7%. So no no other quarterback had that high of a level of drops With their passes through So Lamar Jackson was in a league of his own, but for that one it was in a bad league and I could understand why so many Ravens fans would feel Just disgusted by that cuz it's like man Lamar Jackson He gets all this slander for this and for that but these receivers they're not helping them out These receivers that dropping all these passes man Lamar's putting them on the money and they drop in and While that number is high and like the statistics said it's higher than anybody else around the league We got to remember too that numbers don't always tell the whole story They don't and when I looked at that initially I was like, oh wow Well, that's certainly a big yikes, but then I sat down and I really thought about it I was like, but wait With the Ravens and their passing game their passing game Requires a certain level of efficiency because their passing game. They don't have these crazy passing numbers like a lot of other teams do Their passing game was ranked. I think 31st or 32nd. I'm pretty sure it was 32nd But that passing game was the bottom of the league their attempts were bottom of the league So went with the numbers those numbers can be sort of altered to sort of fit a Narrative now still the drops are frustrating the drops are frustrating regardless We hate the drops. It's never a pretty sight to see the drops And when you watch that video that accompanied that tweet and then shout out to my boys simply as 10 He even did a video. Oh, he even did a video where he showed every Ravens drop of the 2020 season And I told my boys simply I said, oh man, I said I commented commented on the video. I said, this is a video that We didn't want to see But we had to watch We had to watch it because when you see the drops, it's like, oh gosh Just imagine if that person would have caught it These are game-changing drops game-changing drops a lot of them are first downs Touchdowns big plays here and there. It's it's a struggle But again with the Ravens passing offense Any numbers when it comes to the passing game in percentages, they're going to be so much higher because of the law of averages if You have less attempt says something Then your that then the percentage is gonna look it's gonna have a much bigger look than it would Had you had a lot more attempts like for instance If it's a basketball game and you got a player you got a point card point guard that's shooting 75% from the field and you like man this dude shooting 75% from the field. Oh, man He's lights out tonight. He's making everything But if that's 75% from the field means he only made three or four shots Then that's not many points at all It's not many points at all. So those numbers depending on how you word it it can make something look a lot better Or it can make something look a lot worse Now if you have another player you got a shoot you got Steph Curry he's 75% from the field and he takes He takes 15 out of 20 he makes 15 out of 20 shots had to do some quick math right there I ain't want to pick a number that was too high cuz my math was anyway He does he makes 15 out of 20 shots and that's 75% from the field that they're the same percentages but that Steph Curry's numbers are so much bigger because he took a lot more attempts and This is what it is right now with these numbers with Lamar Jackson again The 7.5% is still something that's very very frustrating and we want to improve on that because this is a very this passing game It's not I love how um, I love how Shannon shop always puts it empty calories Empty calories cuz some people talk about how with the Ravens and their passing game. Oh, they need to throw for 200 300 400 yards a game No throwing for all them yards does not equate to wins. It doesn't it doesn't and I love how Shannon shop Calls those empty calories because that's exactly what they are You're getting all these yards and stuff, but that does not mean you're winning But with the Ravens passing game It is one that we do want to see you take some steps forward and we wanted to see you take some steps for last year But anyway, we wanted to see you take some steps for we want to see it move in the right direction But with the with the 7.5% That's not a good look But again with the lower temps in the Ravens passing game It looks a lot worse than what it actually is It looks a whole lot worse than what it actually is Because Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Ravens offense. They passed the ball so few so few amount of times now If you flipped it and you you did a certain percentage for the run game now that one That's where it would actually look a lot Look a lot better For whatever the stat was maybe if they say the percent the percentage of fumbles Versus carries for the Ravens running game for the Ravens running backs Something like that, but you see how you can you can sort of skew the numbers to your favor You can sort of change the numbers to sort of fit the narrative and I'm not again Don't think I'm trying to say oh man Um man these these Ravens passcatchers They don't drop the ball that much. Oh, I know they did They certainly did Hollywood in the beginning of the season He had a lot of drops mark andrews in big games and really throughout the season. He had a lot of drops, but that's normal That's normal, but for both of those guys While they they probably led the team in drops mark andrews in hollywood But then you got to think about it too Both of them usually lead the team in catches too Both of those two probably lead the team and passes that get thrown their way too. So again law of averages law of averages because A guy like a drop from a dais bryant or from a devon duvenay or from a pro shea A drop from one of those guys The percentage is going to be a lot higher the the percentage of Passes that are thrown their way that are dropped It's going to be a lot higher and look a lot worse If you go individual because those guys don't get that many passes thrown their way But if you compare that to a hollywood or mark andrews They have a lot more drops, but it's because they get a lot more passes thrown their way So their drop percentage may be lower, but they'll have more drops So it's just all depends on how you want to look at it So basically what we're saying to sum this all up. We don't want no drops in 2021 None no drops at all But no, um, it's to me the the whole number is not as bad as it looks But just the wording of the tweet And the way that the numbers were put out there. It makes it look a lot worse than what it is So Ravens by we know Ravens passing game still needs to improve It still needs to take some steps forward Uh, but that's what you brought in tt and Keith for so Oh, yeah, Greg Roman make sure you listen to them guys because I'm sure they got a lot to say team keep it clean I love y'all. I appreciate y'all We out You
