 Wow what a game what a win what a way to go into the buy a week sitting at six and three it's funny during the stream we were talking about how just reflecting back on this first half of the season so far and thinking about a lot of the what ifs uh the what could have beens what we feel should have been uh but also what didn't happen uh and the ravens when you think about it and i know it could be a little painful to think about it sometimes but ravens could be nine and old right now um but then when you think about it too just like the six and three ravens could easily be three and six uh a lot of their games have been so close they had just come down just a couple of little things here and there uh but the fact that with the things that the ravens need to improve on they sitting at six and three heading into the buy and their schedule is what their schedule is for the remainder of it that's that's this pretty good especially for how this season started how it had been going ravens have won three games in a row three games in a row like this was a team that they couldn't even win two games in a row for a while but they have now won three games back to back to back but anyway youtube team keep it clean seeing graven here with another video and in this video i'm here to share my post game thoughts from the game that a lot of us we watched together i know there's a lot of y'all out there in new orleans repping heavy man heavy i haven't seen so many stories so many posts um of ravens fans out in new orleans just having a good time like straight up and i love seeing stuff like that so shout out to any of y'all that got to actually go there to the game i know y'all were going crazy i know y'all had a lot of fun so i'm happy for y'all that y'all got to experience that because it is nothing like it it's nothing like it um and now ravens they're off for the next 13 days the next two weeks uh the ravens do not have a game because they have their buy week and this was a good time to go into the buy week i think i know somebody in the stream had brought out they were like man i just i wish that the ravens didn't have a buy week this week because i want to see them carry the momentum and i get that but at the same time i was like nah i'm i'm glad they got this buy week they need that time off uh because they can get healthier um they can just get refreshed rejuvenated for this long stretch of the second half of the season because there ain't no more buy weeks after this well unless you get that first round buy but right now you're not scheduled to have any more buy weeks after this so you you want to get as right as you possibly can you want to get healthy um now this game the big trade acquisition roquan smith that boy he made his presence felt from jump i said i feel like maybe it may take like a quarter or a quarter and a half no from jump that boy was all over man all over and he um the way he was making tackles in the hole he was blitzing like crazy and he in this game him and patrick queen they were blitzing powerfully like even if they didn't get there they made their presence felt uh when they shot through them gaps man um roquan smith it this was everything that people thought that it would be for roquan smith and patrick queen everybody said it that they felt like patrick i mean excuse me roquan smith would allow patrick queen to be more free more flexible and that's exactly uh what we saw that's exactly what we saw um the middle of the field was covered a lot of times a lot better um i didn't really see the the linebackers get really giving up anything i didn't let me know if i was wrong but i didn't see the middle of the field getting exposed like a lot of times like like we've seen it and whatnot but man it was just beautiful to see roquan smith from jump man he let it be known like hey i'm i'm here and i got y'all and he just he elevated the play of the entire defense he elevated the whole defense it was just a beautiful thing to see um and again like i said patrick queen he was flying around i think um i think he he probably would have i think he could have had a chance to try to intercept it if he would have turned around it actually could have been a passing appearance on patrick queen too it was on the pass that um patrick queen was covering alvin kimara and andy dawan threw it to him and patrick queen kind of broke it up he did get there pretty early but anyway um so good stuff for roquan smith uh good stuff for patrick queen um i again i don't think patrick queen well he's not going to be here for the long haul um i think like i would love if the ravens kept them at least for next year because i they're not going to pick up a fifth year option but i would love if they kept them at least for next year but you know with eric de casta um if he don't plan on resigning you a lot of times he'll get stuff done early rather than later so that's another reason why i don't expect patrick queen to be here i would love for him to stay like to have him roquan smith and patrick queen together that would be a lovely thing that would be a lovely thing i i would love it but i just don't see it happening because of the business baby um but we'll see how it goes uh but we'll we'll enjoy them as long as they are together um where else do we start uh the defensive line um the pass rush well defensive line the the run they early on they were stopping that run like crazy and i think really overall they were stopping right now avan kamara he got his he got a little bit like he in there but nothing crazy so overall the defense did a really good job uh stopping the run um not letting the saints just have not letting the saints have that option um and then the pass rush the pass rush it was there tonight man it was there marlon humphrey of course he got a sack shout out to kyle hamilton the pass rush because he he helped out on that play um but justin houston don't make no sense man don't make no sense how great he's been playing but even he he's only played six games and he got seven sacks three straight games with double digit sacks it's nasty man it's nasty straight nasty and the one sack well i felt bad for andy dotting on it uh where justin houston got the first half of it then kyle's camber came in and whacked and it was it was just nasty i was saying they they need to get they need to get any dotting off the field on that one um the defense in this game for the most part they were holding it down especially on the clutch downs on the third down there were of course the the couple of drives where the defense oh yeah justin houston he got the uh the interception two shout out to bren urban bren urban he knocked the passer and i think there was a couple of batter passes down by defensive linemen there was another one by kyle's camber early on in the game uh but bren urban tipped it up and justin houston he caught the pick so he he had an an amazing game man straight up an amazing game um kyle hamilton had a pick two but they called this bogus pass interference on chuck like it was such a bad call it was such a terrible call that's like man y'all really took kyle hamilton pick away but kyle hamilton was doing a good job open field tackling uh in the game so that was really nice to see you see his confidence just continuing to get built up he's been looking better and better so he's starting to really uh turn that corner uh marlon humphrey um i say in this game it was up and down i think more ups than downs but chris alive it was working i mean chris alive it was working the whole ravens just their secondary um he's worked marlon humphrey some of you working marquis peters uh but they uh they did a lot of bending but well they did break on that one goofy play we'll talk about that in a little bit but uh marlon humphrey overall this was a solid game from marquis peters uh it was it was up and down it was up and down um i was worried there was a drive early on in the game where it was looking like peters peters was like because it happens with peters a lot of times when if a if the game's not going his way then it's not not necessarily he'd check out but it seemed like he can uh just get so mentally frustrated and then that frustration can it can show it with his play um so there was one part early in the game where i forgot exactly what happened but then there it was another play where they uh and he don't try to attack peters and peters covered it well um it was a player intended for chris alive i forgot what happened the previous play but it was early on in the game i'm thinking the first quarter um but peters in this game of course we uh it's like with cornerbacks i think richard sherman talked about it in his podcast before we had cornerbacks the job is so tough because they could be playing good all game they could be playing lockdown all games then they just they give up their one play then everybody just remembers that one play and they're like oh man that quarterback that cornerback had a bad game but um it's a little different marcus peters in this game because he wasn't having the best game uh today but that the play to the titan oh man that was just it was embarrassing that there was just such a lack of effort um because marcus peters he gave up a lack of effort the titan kept running and chuck clark just sitting there pointing at him and i'm thinking like man like really like he's just pointing and no the titan did not step out of bounds it was a tiny bit of green in between his foot and the sideline man it was close but he did not step out so that was a good no call i guess um but that that effort on that play was just just embarrassing man um from marcus peters and chuck clark uh yeah i i just it was it was crazy to watch man it was crazy to watch but i'm i'm just glad that that didn't change the outcome uh of the game uh because that was the only touchdown that they gave up like the score could have looked so much prettier had they just pushed him out of bounds just just push him out of bounds that's it just push him out of bounds because marcus peters was close but then with chuck clark he could have just confirmed that the titan was out of bounds and i know again with football things happen super fast so it's so easy for us that we sitting here on our couches and what now we watching the game oh he should have done this he should have done that he should have done that it's easy for us to do that um so what the players is things are happening so fast super fast so maybe chuck clark might have thought that he went out of bounds and that's why chuck clark was just like oh no he was out just pointing to the he probably thought that the whistle was gonna blow but um i'm i'm just glad that that didn't change the the outcome of the game so i think that's uh that's everybody for defense and geno stone he was quiet tonight i thought he was gonna get tested a lot more i thought any dog was gonna take a lot more shots but he really didn't he really didn't um so yeah that's defense special teams uh devin duvenay he was the punt returner had some fair catches and whatnot uh a kick return i think he was out there but most of them were i know just as he had one kick return but most of the kicks were touch backs um justin tucker thank you we love you as always of course made us feel goals i mean what's new shout out to him um but yeah so special teams nothing crazy uh uh jordan stout he had a really good punt there were the ravens it it took a really good ravens role um but that was that um john hardball let me say before i forget the there was a challenge where the ravens were on defense and uh they sacked i think justin houston sacked andy dalton and live i thought it was a fumble i think kalaeus cambell ended up recovering but they showed the replay and andy dalton he had this little three finger grip on that ball to where he fell down he hit the ground and then the ball came out so he was down but the ravens they ended up challenging it it was a bad challenge um but i mean thank goodness it didn't change the outcome of the game uh because that was uh getting a little getting a little scary at that point um and then there was a part with the play clock i think the play clock was running running down or something and hardball caught a time out limo was looking at him like oh would you call that timeout hardball uh but then the next play the next play they had got a nice little chunky yards and they they they got a big first down on it i forgot exactly what play they ran but anyway um and i guess that that can lead us to coaching i guess uh mike mcdonnell great job great jobs now i mean with the defense like really you you you ain't got no reason not to call a great game because you got a lot of players over there so you got like no reason tyus bowser he came back uh tyus bowser i think he was on the first drive with ty if it wasn't on the first drive it was on the second drive with tyus bowser came blitzing and uh he provided pressure and he dalton was off on the throw it was a beautiful thing to see it's like oh nice welcome back bowser welcome back um but yeah with mike mcdonnell i feel like his job is like not easy but it's like not easy but it's like uh like yeah you got a lot over there you got a lot to work with with defense so um but he called a good game uh there were some times like when the ravens were up like right before the second half and they backed the corners and say they backed the secondary way up and i know that can be kind of tricky sometimes because like oh you don't want them to really play prevent defense but at the same time if they playing up close you don't want them to get uh caught slipping and the ball goes over the heads so i know it's tricky but it's all about situational football and ended up working out um they did some bending not too much bending but they did some bending but they didn't break well they they broke on that that one play uh the market speed isn't shut clock play but besides they they did pretty good overall besides that play um greg roman this was a uh this was a good game from greg roman um the situational play calling uh for the most part it was pretty good i know there was one drive in the third or fourth quarter where ravens were up multiple scores and they just threw through through um they did three throw in place um and a lot of us was wondering like hey what's what's going on with the run game like the run game been working like why why not continue your up but then the next driving for the rest of the game they they got back to it so i guess giro was like oh you know what let me try something um then then the only other questionable thing was when the ravens were up at the end of the game and they still had lemar running the ball now i wondered though too if because you know lemar he could change some stuff at the line too one of that was him calling his own number as well so it might not have even been uh greg roman calling for lemar to run it could have been lemar calling for lemar to run um but now switching to lemar switching to the offense uh the game started off started off uh nice um especially that that touchdown throw it was just it was beautiful to see it because it was the same kind of play they ran last week against the bucks uh where lemar is looking like he's gonna keep it it's looking like he's gonna run well actually it wasn't the same play because the play last week against the bucks it looked like it was an option play look like he was gonna pitch it to king drake but on this play it looked like lemar was gonna keep it so yeah it was a different play uh but then at the last second he sees likely those two imperfect touchdown it's beautiful to see now um everything wasn't so pretty uh from lemar there was a couple of throws that he missed um there was one i think that was on the third down where it was to demarcus robertson he threw behind him there was another one uh where it was intended for josh oliver he threw it behind him um there was another one where he uh he missed isaiah likely because likely it was one on one with i think a safety uh he overthrown by a little bit um man i think that was it uh but those those those are missed opportunities man those are missed opportunities and we talked about it during the stream like with the ravens the thing that we've seen with them this year uh it seems like they they can be their own biggest their their their own worst enemy um because it's the self inflicted stuff that hurts them the most it's not even necessarily what other teams are doing or anything like that and and they that ain't no disrespect to other teams obviously but it's the the self inflicted wounds man self inflicted stuff so lemaw he he got to hit those throws man and they were they weren't even like crazy deep throws anything like that they're just little intermediate stuff um he was on the run for some of oh well yeah for the likely overthrow he wasn't on the run for that one but for the demarcus and the josh oliver i think he was on the run on those because he had got pressure um but those those are throws he got to hit man because those are missed missed opportunities missed yards man um and then there were two drops from likely one of them was on an rpo lemaw faked uh the handoff to i think it was a drake and he threw the uh i'd say likely in the flats and likely he just dropped it and then there was another throw where lemaw got pressure and lemaw got the throw off got the ball to him got it to likely and then he dropped it by the sidelines um so yeah again just and that that one was on the third down but again it's just missed opportunities man right ravens again they are the biggest their own worst enemy sometimes a lot of times actually um there was the uh but again these are things that um ravens they can fix like it's well ravens it's like fixing a lot of the small stuff it's like fixing a lot of the small stuff and that can make significant uh big positive changes moving forward so the bye week is coming at a good time for them to just take time off go relax go just chill take time off from football um take a little vacation or whatever uh take a nice little break because they all could could certainly use it because it's a grind man it's a long season it goes by super fast uh for us but for them it's like it's almost non-stop man um but anyway so yeah that was lemaw uh often oh with him and ronnie stanley um i loved it i loved it uh because lemaw was frustrated i think he's frustrated that the they didn't get the snap off uh ronnie stanley he was they was going back and forth with each other but that i know somebody had recorded it the back and forth it didn't stop like because lemaw was trapping at him ronnie was trapping back at him it didn't stop right there on the field they continued on the sideline but it they it just shows that they care about the game they continue to talk to each other they obviously they they talked it out because somebody recorded them on the sideline just talking with each other and it happens it happens if you if you really care about somebody um then you can be straight up with them and let them know whatever it is that you got to let them know and sometimes the conversation ain't gonna always be so calm uh and right there they obviously football players there and he did a moment uh so the conversation is gonna be a a little bit animated as it was but they continue to talk it ain't it wasn't like uh lemaw said what he said to ronnie stanley ronnie stanley said what he said to lemaw and they were like i'm not talking to you anymore no they continue to talk continue to have a dialogue and they they squashed or not squashed because it wasn't an issue with them too but they got through it and that was that um so shout out to him the offensive line this game uh i guess that's a little segway the offensive line run blocking good job very good job overall um pass blocking they had a few hiccups here and there but they they did a good job overall um drake i fell for drake because he um he he was close to hitting his hundred yards but then toward the end of the game the ravens did a pitch play and i was like uh why are they getting cute now just run the ball but and that that messed his yardage up because he ended up getting 24 carries for 93 yards average and 3.9 yards a carry that that that pitch play messed up his average but he did get his two touchdowns which was nice to see shout out to jizzy drake man he has been a good addition he early on when he first came aboard it was like okay i mean but as the season has gone along he's gotten better and better and more and more comfortable um just to see let's see his carries he had a 4 for 11 so nothing crazy um lemaw had 11 for 82 uh he had some big runs definitely uh mike davis mike davis uh whenever he's on the field you know they ravens don't run him at all anymore they they don't it's whenever he's on the field he's not going to be uh getting the ball handed off to him um it's it's always a giveaway i think that's why he's not on the field that much but he made a great play um where lemaw faked it to what's it to do vene lemaw faked it to somebody uh mike davis he had blocked i forgot uh which which defensive lineman it was but it was a defensive lineman not an outside linebacker not a safety corner no it was defensive lineman mike davis blocked him knocked him on his butt then went out lemaw got pressured uh but lemaw got the ball off threw him a little the little shot that you shoot at the office in the trash can we we thought pay your ball like that lemaw threw that to him a little hook shot and uh mike davis caught it so that that was a nice play by him um like it's nice little heads up play uh and yeah uh wide receivers prochet uh prochet i think he had two catches it looked like he was gonna start getting busy early on but no let me just look at the numbers exactly yeah he okay he just had two catches as they're likely i thought he's gonna be a little more active than that um boy he did add two drops though but uh he had his one catch for the touchdown that was it um josh oliver he had a really really nice catch uh and got a nice little chunk of yak too um should have had another catch but lemaw threw it behind him um oh yeah the shan jackson the shan jackson had a nice catch contested catch too um and then there was another play where morgan moses he said i'm tired of playing right tackle i want to turn into a dn and i want to play for the saints just give me just give me one play give me one shot uh lemaw snapped it uh he got some pressure morgan moses strip sack lemaw morgan mow yes we said that right morgan moses strip sack lemaw uh so it was a fumble then lemaw picked it up um and again lemaw it just always takes me back to the giants game every time lemaw makes another play like this and he escapes a play like this it always reminds me of the giants game and it just reminds it and we said it after that giants game lemaw has continued to make so many of these players over the years that's why he tried it in a giants game so this time um he picks up the ball uh and then throws a great ball to uh to the shan jackson but 27 for the saints he played it perfectly it was just great a great defensive play by him um so that was an incompletion but that play could have gone south it could have been really ugly could have been a recovered fumble by the saints uh a big loss by the ravens but lemaw he saved the play um but the shan jackson hey he he couldn't even last the whole game his hamstrings started hurting he went out with a hamstring injury so that was that uh the markets robbers and he had oh he had a catch he had one catch for 12 yards um i don't even remember exactly when it was um just to see how he had a catch yeah i remember that one i thought it was initially initially i thought it was duvenay that made that catch pericard had one catch and devin duvenay he had one catch now devin duvenay i was very surprised that devin duvenay was not used like crazy but again this was my fear for devin duvenay that one game he gets used like crazy and then the next game he doesn't so my one of my big fears came true i'm glad the raven still won but this is one of those things that uh and i know every every play ain't gonna go off every game but i just really thought that he was gonna get more opportunity uh to go off um but ravens was still making stuff happen with the run game also that's a good thing but yeah so that's that that's everybody um it was nice let me get that ball has been getting spread out a little more um so i would expect mark andrews to be back gus ells to be back after the buy and let's just hope they continue spreading it out um let's hope that they do that so we won't know till we know um so so much we'll see um with the the passes that lamar missed they they they were inexcusable um but i think something that would really help with that is just the uh the short passing game to just help the quarterback get into more of a rhythm um i i joked about it during the stream i said man lamar probably he just uh he just not used to all these receivers being on the field at one time i said he used to a bunch of tight ends being out there so when he's like seeing all these receivers he probably got so excited and like whoa wait a minute what's going on here but um now you gotta make those throws though here be all right man and again this buy week it's coming at a good time uh just for everybody um so again even though the buy week's here we ain't going nowhere we're still gonna have videos every single day um so y'all stay on the lookout for that um but yeah man i appreciate y'all i love y'all this was a fun game and again Ravens are six and three they they in a good spot right now still got some stuff that they need to clean up but the fact that they're six and three with this stuff to clean up that's that's a good thing because they could have had a lot of stuff to clean up and been three and six um so where they're sitting that is good they could have been better but they could have also been worse but they are in a good spot uh in the afc and afc north they first in the division right now in the afc i'm not sure exactly where they are uh because i i think the bills are five and three i want to say the chiefs are six and two i want to say i forget the other teams record i gotta check all that stuff um but anyway Ravens are in a good spot right now so uh let's just hope that the rest of the season goes great and i mean we'll see when we get there i love y'all i appreciate y'all and we out
