We are so damn priveleged being able to root for Lamar on a weekly basis, have to enjoy this for as long as he plays football cause this type of talent is so rare
Ar'Darius Washington's insertion into the starting lineup has been instrumental in our recent success on defense. And Nate Wiggins has been an unsung hero. We have the team to win it all this year (barring injury to a key piece); this is a better team than last year, I believe.
I love these videos after games. Even after losses is refreshing to hear some real football analysis without the biases of media and their agenda pushing. Keep doing what you doing man.
Henry only had a long of 20 with the 147 yards rushing. I never thought we needed any better than what we had at RB to win it alll, but man witnessing this season and how high his floors and ceilings are lets me know that there’s really levels to this even at the devalued running back position
This is a “point” I’ve argued for years. There’s a difference in running backs… Media, certain schemes, GM’s, have everyone believing that it didn’t matter …” any back could do” ~ Yes, any backs, can get stats, but there is a gap in talent… I believe that because the league went to such a heavy passing league, teams shunned the position, as not as valuable… it’s still unfortunate that running backs will continue to be under valued. Elite talent matters… even at running back.
Mina Kimes is the best. Never shouty and always well informed. She's the only analyst who seems to actually watch games (not just highlights) and knows what's going on internally on teams.
The play Lamar had "toying" with Hunter. Reminded me of the first game this year against the Bengals. When he was toying with their DE and ironically threw that crazy ass pass to Likely. Then again that designed run play for a TD. Also reminded me of that epic touchdown run Lamar had against the Bengals. When he had that epic spin with Mark Ingram right by his side years ago. ❤💪✊
Man, I have no idea what changed because I’m ignorant on defense dynamics but wow. I agreed with your take earlier in the year that “we are what we are at this point” but watching this game shocked me. Kudos to Zac Orr man.
Mina Kimes is the only mainstream sports analyst that I willingly seek out and listen to. She’s knowledgeable and a breath of fresh air among weaker talking heads at the “worldwide leader in sports”
The TD to likely reminded me of the TD against the Bengals when Lamar got away from Trey Hendrickson and went back across the middle in a similar fashion.
The narrative on Harbaugh has to be changing. l loved his answer to the question whether the defensive performance surprised him. "No, we knew it would happen" That confidence in the team is impressive.
Lamar and Henry and playing out of their minds also we have to give it up for monken and Orr for calling a hella of game.. after that first 3 down conversion we gave up with the middle wide open the very next 3rd down we changed it up and seemed to learn from the previous 3rd down. We’re playing our best football at the right time
Lamar has been playing out of his mind since he came to the league. Henry is having a resurgence because Lamar don't get it twisted. He would be sitting his ass at home in two weeks if he wasn't playing with Lamar like he's been doing
We’ve proven we can beat anyone we’ll see in the playoffs.. can this defense stop mahomes bc that’s what it’s most likely going to take to get us to the sb
Lamar hasn’t looked that fast in 3 seasons. He’s ready for the playoffs and I believe they made a serious effort not to run him between the tackles this year and he’s going to be fresh for the playoffs
Lamar is magically when he is rolling out towards the left sideline… if I was a DC I would definitely tell my guys to force him to left because those plays he makes on the right sideline are absolutely deflating. Dameco Ryan face after dat play says it all.
The craziest stat I saw through the game was that in the first half Lamar was like 6/10 for 158 yards which means he average about 15 yards per attempt. I couldn’t believe that we were putting up those type of numbers at the same time as us averaging 8 yards per rush. Truly ridiculous.
Marlins perseverance call was not a past interference. Even the broadcast official says there's no pass interference there. I'm sick and tired of us always getting the short end of these calls. It seems like the NFL wants other teams to have a chance.
Very true! It's because of Lamar. Even the refs try to make it hard on the man. Look how many times we got called for illegal formations in the afc championship last year. Straight 💩
I get the analogy but in reality skipping a gear in a car makes your acceleration a lot slower not faster ;) (unless your driving on ice and your wheels are spinning)
CJ body language was the story of this game for me. Once I saw him crying vs KC and knowing he gotta show up on Wednesday w/o Tank or Steph is mentally draining for the young fella.
Just getting Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams off the field has been huge for this team. Still don’t think Lamar gets enough credit for Henry being even more dominant than he has at any point in his career. Like that we’ve leaned back towards the shotgun run game in recent weeks. Under center will always have a place, but Steelers game showed how Lamar can repeatedly neutralize a defender in the run game by having a pulse on the field. And Mina is great. Actually watches the games and knows what’s happening, which you can’t say about a lot of media people, and consistently offers insightful commentary.
Hey sir, great video. I’m curious if you intend to do a video on the defense, perhaps as a re-evaluation of Zach Orr to give your fans some thoughts on what you attribute the success on the defense as of late. Me personally - I am hoping to hear a sentiment that expresses newfound confidence in Zach Orr’s ability to coach our defense. I’ve been encouraged to see he and his staff are making adjustments from halftimes. It looks to the naked eye that Zach Orr’s mid season progression bears similarities to Mike McDonald in his first year. Edit: Made it to the end of the video. Glad to hear great thoughts on the defense. WHEN will you be making that video? lol
That Likely TD was plain filthy. A friend of mine asked "how did Likely get that wide open?" and I replied "you try covering one of the best receiving TE's for 8 full seconds when Lamar Freaking Jackson is threatening to run it in". On the 48 yard run, Lamar stated that he was "jogging" at 21.2 mph. That may be an exaggeration, but the fact that he was looking behind himself to determine the angle of the pursuit demonstrates he had an additional gear to go to if he needed it. Truly unfair.
Mina is awesome. I'm going to stick my neck out here and risk getting my head bit off by some people. Mina is thorough and extremely knowledgeable because that's what she's HAD to be to break through as a serious analyst in a male-dominant field covering a male sport. She's a serious analyst, not just a pretty face facilitating a discussion. I'm glad you found her refreshing. Perhaps the NFL should move toward analysts of her caliber instead of "analysts" that provide only entertainment value.
6:03 You seem to speak about basketball a lot when describing Lamar. I couldn’t agree more. He reminds me of 2014-2018ish Steph Curry. Stuff where you put your hands on your head until the ball goes through the hoop, then you begin to trust those plays more and more. Curry also had this “gravity” that I believe Lamar has too. His presence on the court gets others open shots, just like Lamar opens gaps for Henry.
Just got done watching The Facility and it’s really sad how bad they want Josh to win something…here a few things they said…”Josh is more Valuable to his team than Lamar”, “Josh is winning with less weapons”, the list goes on but no matter how much Lamar grows and gets better the NFL and the media will forever move the goal post🤦🏾♂️🖤💜
Allen career best pass TD is 37. Henry worse yd per rush is 4.2 last year with 1167 rush. 2019 Lamar has 36 TDS and 1200 rush. Let that sink in. Lamar makes henry better. And does more than Allen with help.
Monkin REALLY needs to work on his “backed up on our own 1 play calling” that was atrocious especially after the prior play or two before we ran the same motion (didn’t see the formation) and Henry got stuffed for a decent loss. I think we have 2 safetys this year or 3(?) in that situation.
Don't wanna throw cold water on our winning streak, but the Ravens defense really caught a schedule break in their last 6 opponents of 2024... given their weakness on defense... That is to say... including the upcoming Browns... the average rank in passing yards for those teams is 24th... This means we have been playing bottom feeders when it comes to passing in Nov & December... It's great to see improvement, but it must be put into perspective... Furthermore... these last 6 opponents only avg. 20.6 points a game & two of them avg under 20 points a game - NYG: 14.3, Cle.: 16.3... So, again, it's great to see we've improved on defense... but we've played no team in the last 6 that was capable of truly exploiting our weakness on defense... and this, surely, has contributed to the improvement... So, it remains to be seen if we've really improved & can do the same when we play Buffalo and KC whom are 9th and 11th respectively in passing yards; and also avg 8 more points a game than our last 6 opponents... We'll see... but I have a feeling LJ8 is gonna have to score us to a SB!

Mina Kimes is the best. Never shouty and always well informed. She's the only analyst who seems to actually watch games (not just highlights) and knows what's going on internally on teams.
Chris Simms too. The rest are very eratic.
Mina is a special kind of analyst !
I'd much rather listen to her than most of the "pundit/personalities" !
She's really cute too !
100% concur 🫱🏽🫲🏾😍
Hella cute 😍🥵
Yes!
Holy simp.
Hella brilliant! ❤️💪
If he doesn't get one more passing TD to get 40 I'll be so disappointed lol
He”ll finish with 42-43
It’s the poverty Browns, who have nothing to play for other than draft positions. Lamar gets 3 TDs at the very least.
He’ll most likely finish with 41 because the browns give up a lot of points
Lamar knows he needs 1 for 40 and his teammates do as well, he'll get it haha
Hell get at least two more possibly 3
Mark Andrews got that 1am "Are you up, can you come over?" text. And half way to his destination he realizes his car on empty.
The play Lamar had "toying" with Hunter. Reminded me of the first game this year against the Bengals. When he was toying with their DE and ironically threw that crazy ass pass to Likely. Then again that designed run play for a TD. Also reminded me of that epic touchdown run Lamar had against the Bengals. When he had that epic spin with Mark Ingram right by his side years ago. ❤💪✊
Man it made me think of that same play! Dude is crazy. So fun to watch
The basketball analogy was perfect… cuz the Ravens were able to empty their bench with such a large lead that we had a T.J. Tampa siting!
Yes Mina Kimes is a very good underrated gem in the football analysis community. she really is very good at what she does.
Lamar was clocked at 21.01 mph on the TD run, he was flying!!!!!
Man, I have no idea what changed because I’m ignorant on defense dynamics but wow. I agreed with your take earlier in the year that “we are what we are at this point” but watching this game shocked me. Kudos to Zac Orr man.
Good point on Mina she definitely knows ball
Mina Kimes is the only mainstream sports analyst that I willingly seek out and listen to. She’s knowledgeable and a breath of fresh air among weaker talking heads at the “worldwide leader in sports”
Just reminds me that there is no, I said no other QB in the NFL, Lamar is so good that I think he will continue to win the AFC
Lamar hit hunter with kyrie Irving moves.
And Hunter is a freaky athlete, amazing performance by Henry and lamar.
The TD to likely reminded me of the TD against the Bengals when Lamar got away from Trey Hendrickson and went back across the middle in a similar fashion.
I'm more surprised the defense struggled so much earlier than figured it out.
Mina Kimes is one of the best on TV. Easily the best on ESPN imo.
So happy monkin stopped doing empty formations which eliminates the option threat I use to get so frustrated when he called empty sets
The narrative on Harbaugh has to be changing. l loved his answer to the question whether the defensive performance surprised him. "No, we knew it would happen" That confidence in the team is impressive.
Maybe the Ravens first playoff game they can score 50 points!!!!!!
That play reminded me of the ravens vs lions last year. That touchdown to Nelson.
Lamar and Henry and playing out of their minds also we have to give it up for monken and Orr for calling a hella of game.. after that first 3 down conversion we gave up with the middle wide open the very next 3rd down we changed it up and seemed to learn from the previous 3rd down. We’re playing our best football at the right time
Lamar has been playing out of his mind since he came to the league. Henry is having a resurgence because Lamar don't get it twisted. He would be sitting his ass at home in two weeks if he wasn't playing with Lamar like he's been doing
The other plays are maybe debatable but 100% neither Allen nor Mahomes makes that dodge to avoid the sack before the pass to Andrews
We’ve proven we can beat anyone we’ll see in the playoffs.. can this defense stop mahomes bc that’s what it’s most likely going to take to get us to the sb
Lamar hasn’t looked that fast in 3 seasons. He’s ready for the playoffs and I believe they made a serious effort not to run him between the tackles this year and he’s going to be fresh for the playoffs
Lamar is magically when he is rolling out towards the left sideline… if I was a DC I would definitely tell my guys to force him to left because those plays he makes on the right sideline are absolutely deflating. Dameco Ryan face after dat play says it all.
Mina is consistently one of the best researched commentators.
The craziest stat I saw through the game was that in the first half Lamar was like 6/10 for 158 yards which means he average about 15 yards per attempt. I couldn’t believe that we were putting up those type of numbers at the same time as us averaging 8 yards per rush. Truly ridiculous.
I hope The Ravens will be able to treat Kcthat rude in the Playoffs it would be a Ravens fan dream!!!!!!
Another excellent analysis. Thank you coach. This could be the year, as the Ravens are now firing on all cylinders. Who has it better than we do?
Go Ravens!!!
LAMAR
(OVERQUALIFIED)
FOR SECOND PLACE
MV3 !!!
Thanks for the video coach!
coach with the commentary reacts lol them talking about nothing in the booth is why some people watch without the sound😂
Marlins perseverance call was not a past interference. Even the broadcast official says there's no pass interference there. I'm sick and tired of us always getting the short end of these calls. It seems like the NFL wants other teams to have a chance.
Very true! It's because of Lamar. Even the refs try to make it hard on the man. Look how many times we got called for illegal formations in the afc championship last year. Straight 💩
That’s okay reminded me of the play against the bengals where we fumbled and stiff armed dude and threw a TDs
In Lamar we trust…how lucky are we? I think he’ll end up hall of fame eventually
I get the analogy but in reality skipping a gear in a car makes your acceleration a lot slower not faster ;)
(unless your driving on ice and your wheels are spinning)
I don’t wanna get political but women in male sports talk have to basically work twice as hard as the men so they tend to have elite ball knowledge
Well you gotta start watching more ESPN she's one of the best you gotta watch her show. Her knowledge of football is remarkable
Throw it up to Likely or Andrews in the end zone, it’s an automatic TD… how many TDs have Likely and Andrews got these past few weeks? 😮
Mina Kimes is incredibly underrated when it comes to actually talking football.
no shes not! real ones know and she BEEN respected
Defense has been trending well, credit to the staff.
CJ body language was the story of this game for me. Once I saw him crying vs KC and knowing he gotta show up on Wednesday w/o Tank or Steph is mentally draining for the young fella.
Just getting Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams off the field has been huge for this team.
Still don’t think Lamar gets enough credit for Henry being even more dominant than he has at any point in his career. Like that we’ve leaned back towards the shotgun run game in recent weeks.

Edit:
Made it to the end of the video. Glad to hear great thoughts on the defense. WHEN will you be making that video? lol
I can't imagine. None of these games was no regular T.V.
Chiefs are the omly team The Ravens have not beat this year, I say the Ravens will get that far in the Playoffs and be the A$C Champs this time!!!!!
Henry centric offense is very challenging to deal with
That Likely TD was plain filthy. A friend of mine asked "how did Likely get that wide open?" and I replied "you try covering one of the best receiving TE's for 8 full seconds when Lamar Freaking Jackson is threatening to run it in".

What a great time to peak on all 3 phases
39:31 follow Mina on Bluesky. She's great. Her and Foxworth do analysis during the week.
Coach what do you think of Zach Orr’s tumble after Washington’s 4th down stop?
Glad he was alright
6:03 You seem to speak about basketball a lot when describing Lamar. I couldn’t agree more. He reminds me of 2014-2018ish Steph Curry.

Turnovers by the offense and special teams still scare me for the ravens. Those are my only concerns.
0 turnovers today
Where is the time damn‼️‼️
North Division championship and thè Steelers are not likely to beat Lamar again for a while!!!!!!!
Allen career best pass TD is 37. Henry worse yd per rush is 4.2 last year with 1167 rush. 2019 Lamar has 36 TDS and 1200 rush. Let that sink in. Lamar makes henry better. And does more than Allen with help.
Steelers lost in Pittsburgh today not Kc
Steelers no longer Lamars criptnite!!!!!!!! He probably wins the Division for at lest the next 3 years!!!!!!
I think Cincy will stay in that convo
@freeindeed8416 if thwy keep chase, higgins they will.
i think josh allen can make those plays but it just looks a little different might run over someone instead of being as quick
Don't worry he'll choke when playoffs get here he always does
What like your sister
Monkin REALLY needs to work on his “backed up on our own 1 play calling” that was atrocious especially after the prior play or two before we ran the same motion (didn’t see the formation) and Henry got stuffed for a decent loss. I think we have 2 safetys this year or 3(?) in that situation.
That was Henry’s fault. Love him but he shouldn’t have cut out knowing the position of the play.
It was Henry's fault. Lamar also audibled.
I didn’t like the play call either. They were locked in on Henry at that point
The play call wasn’t the issue. Derrick decided to try and bounce it outside instead of fall forward.
Henry was trying to go 99 yards. He could have hit it downhill, and gotten a couple of yards.
Chiefs are his Kryptonite. He will not reach the championship!!
cool story... bro...
He going to blow them out this year watch.
Bengals are chiefs and bills krytonite
Don't wanna throw cold water on our winning streak, but the Ravens defense really caught a schedule break in their last 6 opponents of 2024... given their weakness on defense...
That is to say... including the upcoming Browns... the average rank in passing yards for those teams is 24th...
This means we have been playing bottom feeders when it comes to passing in Nov & December...
It's great to see improvement, but it must be put into perspective...

So, again, it's great to see we've improved on defense... but we've played no team in the last 6 that was capable of truly exploiting our weakness on defense... and this, surely, has contributed to the improvement...
So, it remains to be seen if we've really improved & can do the same when we play Buffalo and KC whom are 9th and 11th respectively in passing yards; and also avg 8 more points a game than our last 6 opponents...
We'll see... but I have a feeling LJ8 is gonna have to score us to a SB!
