 This morning coming out of Carolina. Sorry if anybody that's listening via headphone But I hope you heard me loud and clear the Panthers Are going to be starting quarterback Baker Mayfield former Cleveland Brown former number one overall pick Wow How the mighty have fallen it is crazy just Baker may feel his story and just how quickly things can change in The NFL because it was just a couple years ago. It's like old Baker may feel number one overall pick He broke the the rookie touchdown record and whatnot old man Then the Browns they really start building around them and they start adding all these nice pieces here and there and it just It just didn't work out But then a couple years ago, too Baker may feel that the Browns they get to the playoffs Baker may feel gives them They get a win in the playoffs. They beat up on those Pittsburgh Steelers But everything just it fell apart so fast and in such an ugly ugly way But now he's back as a start. He was a starter before then didn't because got Unstarted and then but now with PJ Walker who suffered unfortunately a high ankle sprain at Bank of America Stadium and literally every single Panthers quarterback this year Has suffered a high ankle sprain at Bank of America Stadium. Thank goodness. This game is in Baltimore. Thank goodness Cuz that when I saw that stat That all those quarterback suffered high ankle sprains there I was thinking a whole no But then I checked the schedule the games at M&T Bank Whoo, that was a big sigh of relief. So Baker may feel Baker may feel versus Lamar Jackson He is Lamar Jackson is 4-1 versus Baker may fit of course, we know it's a team game So it's not just a quarterback versus quarterback But it's more fun to say it that way that one win came in 2019 when the Browns they came into in M&T Bank Stadium and literally ran away with the game Ran away with it. Remember seeing Nick Chubb just And that was a tough game But Baker may feel has not really fared well Against the Lamar Jackson led Ravens even in a game where Lamar Jackson threw one two three four interceptions Four and four interceptions You would think I with any quarterback that those four interceptions. You were definitely. All right. Hey We worked that team. No Couldn't get it done So we'll see how Baker may feel it is in this game for those Carolina Panthers And I mean while we're here we might as well talk about this game Because the Ravens are Ravens have a lot of advantage in this game They at home So that's one they obviously have the better team that's that's doing better and whatnot still cannot sleep on the Panthers at All cannot do it But Ravens are coming off of a bye week And even before that right Ravens have been getting a lot of rest over these past couple of weeks Because a couple weeks ago when they played the Bucks that was on Thursday night football So they didn't have a game until the following Monday So they went through Friday Saturday Sunday and then had another week and then they played the Saints on Monday night football So they had a long break then and then after the Saints game They had their bye week. So Ravens are a very well rested team right now Going into this game The Panthers We know these Panthers Stopping their run game. Well, obviously stopping Baker may feel that's first and foremost him being the quarterback You want him to turn that ball over? So far he's throwing what six six interceptions and I mean no four touchdowns Six touchdowns to four interceptions. Sorry, it's still early in the morning My brain it ain't functioning all the way right now, but he's done six touchdowns for interceptions That pass defense is gonna had to be on point somebody that had a lot of Raven fans and hope that we would get I will get to see him up close and personal and DJ more So Marlon Humphrey Marcus Peters, they they definitely gonna have their work cut out for them for sure But I expecting to do well Ravens that their past defense they they've been doing pretty good and as the season has gone along They have just continued to click more and more and more Dante for me They're running back. I think that's really where this game starts at for me For Panthers offense and Ravens defense. It all starts with him You hear it all the time you you want to make teams one-dimensional you want to take away their strength You want to take away their power? He is their power. He would be their power And you don't want to let him get going Ravens Don't want to let him get going because if the pandas can run the ball on the Ravens that opens up everything else for them It makes everything else that much easier for him It gives him that many more options on offense in your job as a defense Especially that high-powered defense with all the old quality players you got Your job is to take everything away from them. So it starts with the run game So hopefully Ravens come out ready and again with them being so well rested. Hopefully they're not well rusty But hopefully that all that rest that they've gotten over these past couple of weeks Gives them more strength more power and that tackling is on point now I'll understand I'll get it if in the first like the first quarter. We get a couple missed tackles here I mean, hopefully not but I'll understand if we get a couple missed tackles here And it's like man, we ain't tackle nobody in a long time. I'll get it but It won't be no excuse Because you that's something you you got to pick it up like that and get that thing right So, yeah Ravens defense. I expect him to make some plays man I expect him to to force some turnovers. No Baker Mayfield man. He's um He he's in a dangerous position right now To where the Panthers they I feel like with their quarterback situation. They just They just throwing something up in the end hoping that it sticks really It hasn't worked out with Baker Mayfield. It hasn't worked out with Sam Donald who they traded for both of them PJ Walker. He got hurt What was the Matt Corral? I think he's hurt. He's out for the year It's just been rough for their quarterback situation So after this year, I mean Sam Donald and Blake Baker may feel they could both end up being free agents They really could man. So we'll see what happens with that, but Yeah Ravens got a as far as defense. That's what they got to do stop that run game Man, don't let them run the ball and force Baker Mayfield into making the Baker Mayfield throws that we know he can make Resulting in the interceptions force him to force him to turn if they can just get him passing Like and I'm not saying he's a bad passer But that Ravens have a good pass rush right now, which is so weird to say it's crazy to say man But since Ravens have a good pass rush, they turn these Panthers into a strictly passing team They take away the run game. That's advantage Ravens all day, man That is advantage Ravens all day So it's gonna be exciting to see how that goes now as far as on the flip side on offense Simple don't turn the ball over Don't turn the ball over and score run it up run it up Panthers of course they they they gonna bring it They gonna bring it but it's important that the Ravens have a counter Gus Edwards, I'm not sure if he's gonna play in this game or not I would expect him to but we'll see Mark Andrews He should be back so the Ravens should be getting some more firepower But something that I want to see from these Baltimore Ravens. I really started this week. Um a couple different things Let's continue to spread that ball around Let's continue to to give all these different people Opportunities because when you spread that ball around then hey, it makes everybody a weapon and The the Panthers or whatever team you're going up against they can't just focus on one person But I we're gonna take them out and then we'll be set because that's that's what it's been with the Ravens Hey before it used to be you take Mark Andrews out you take Hollywood out. Hey, you're straight This year. Hey, you take Mark Andrews out make them find somebody else. Who else is it gonna be? But it's important that even with Mark Andrews expected to come back Ravens still spread that thing out and it's all it's important that they they scheme guys to scheme guys open scheme opportunities for guys So they can take advantage play players to their strengths get them involved and play them to their strengths I would hope I mean I hoped last week that it would be but it wasn't Because it might mean it seems to happen every other week with Devon Duvenay One week. He's involved. He goes crazy next week. They don't involve him. He's quiet following week He's involved. He goes crazy next week. They don't involve him. He's quiet So this week the Ravens are set up to use Devon Duvenay a lot and for him to go crazy So I expect to see Duvenay doing his thing in this game Ken Drake again, we mentioned Gus Edwards earlier, but Ken Drake he handled things last week in the run get well Really to be two weeks ago in the run game, which was a beautiful sight to see so shout out to him So that that should be interesting of course Justice Hill as well. He's an option too So we want to see Ravens continue to run that ball But really quick back to the passing game Lamar in this game Hit those layups man Hit those layups Mars. He didn't miss some opportunities to where The receiver be open, but he just missing he just miss him You got to hit those got to hit those because when you miss on those those passes like that And we've also seen Lamar on the flip side too We've seen him make some crazy crazy crazy completions like he does it all the time man But for the for the layups you got to hit those when because when you miss those You let the other team hang around you give them confidence you give them an opportunity to be like, oh, okay No, we we can't hang with these Baltimore Ravens and of course it is any given Sunday But you don't want to give the other team any confidence like What so ever you don't like these these panthers they low right now and you got to keep them down man straight up But it's important that yeah, he hit on those opportunities man Because those are big plays its potential touchdowns and whatnot and again Same thing we've been saying too. It's it with the passing game is tough Because the volume is low. So the opportunities are far in few So it almost has to be perfect In order for it to work. So gift in the curse We talk about that another time. But yeah, that's as far as Ravens pass game. They're offensive line Hey, continue jelling continue clicking continue working together continue with your flow The Ravens offensive line been getting to better rhythm better flow as the season has gone on Thank You Ronnie Stanley for being back Ravens. They they they did a good job Got to get him credit man. They did a good job with Ronnie Stanley with the way that they worked him back in the lineup I Was hoping I did not expect because I didn't think it would be fair to expect Ronnie Stanley to be back to himself Ronnie Stanley has looked really good though. He has looked really good And he has made a huge difference on this offensive line been powers the unsung hero. Wow Been powers. I didn't even think he was gonna make the team The been powers has been doing his thing. You don't hear his name called at all and that's a beautiful thing Linda bomb Ended up being a great pick for the Ravens. I'm a guy JT. He's he made a really good point Wow back. He's like what if you pick and now I ain't saying that I wouldn't want the Ravens to do it Cuz y'all know how I feel about the receivers, but he was like with a with a receiver You can take a really good receive out the game But you can't take a really good offensive lineman out the game That's a nice. That's a nice one Ravens You need to do more than relieve with it, but that's a that's true. That's true. Good point But anyway, so Linda bomb has been doing this thing Zytler, of course Morgan Moses Morgan Moses been good overall offensive line keep doing your thing Raven put up points man straight up And I know that's so like simple to say but Ravens got to put up points because when you put up points and you got the Defense that you do That just makes it should make their job easier should make your job easier put up points and also take your points Take them please Take the points. It's okay. Ah Yeah, so it will see how it goes um but yeah, man, this is a There's opportunity for the Ravens to go for games in a row It was crazy a couple weeks ago when we're talking about the Ravens possibly Winning two games in a row because they hadn't done that all year then they did it Then it was crazy thinking about the possibility that Ravens went in three games in a row Because that's something that they hadn't done all year obviously because they had won two games in a year So you did I mean two games in a row so you can't win three games in a row if you ain't Win two games in a row So they did that so now they have an opportunity to win four games in a row Wow Will they do it I expect them to I hope they do They have everything that they need in order to do it to make it happen So let's see how they execute. Let's see how they game plan Let's see the decisions that they make hopefully they good decisions wise decisions smart decisions That'll benefit this football team against these Carolina Panthers team keeping clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all we out
