What is your own "ceiling" and "floor" that you project for the 2022 Ravens? If you guys guess their record perfectly correct (with no edits!), we'll send you a bootleg shirt of your choice after the season!
Great breakdown Brett and EJ. I wanted to add for the notable coaches is that there are two more former players as coaches. Anthony Levine SR. aka CoCap and Sam Koch have become members of the staff this past offseason. Also I think that Sam could be a notable loss for holding for Tucker on field goals.
yeah, so far the new long snapper has been working nicely, but given that the ravens each year win 1 or 2 games mostly due to that FG unit, it is paramount for this moving piece to also work
the ravens are preparing for a defensive heavy year. i would like the ravens to grab another receiver because their receiver room just isn’t a threat to teams, especially in the competitive division they play in.
I like the ravens defense their offensive passing scheme is what I’m worried about and their health if this team has sufficient amount of injuries again their not making it to the playoffs but I got them making it to the playoffs Because I hear running game and their defense will be good enough to make it to the playoffs
As a Ravens fan I can see 2 outcomes. To me this team is either winning the Super Bowl or missing the playoffs, theres no answer in-between. They have the talent to make it all the way, but they also could be the equal of our squad in 2016 where they started 3-0 only to miss the playoffs.
Brett, why o why are you having such a hard time giving teams a W against the Jets, I dont get it ... Been loving the Bootleg football content for a while now i gotta get some merch soon. Thank you for sharing your love of the game so well and putting on the hours of work. Salutations du Québec !
For the " anonymous " coach still trying to keep alive the false narrative that Lamar can't bring you back, he clearly wasn't paying attention. He had 4 comebacks last year. Detroit (4th-19) KC, Indy ( over 400 PASSING yards) and Minnesota. Led the team down for a game winning FG in week 1 vs LV with 40 sec left. Game went to OT. Also 1 game where he scored the potential game tying TD and Harbaugh went for 2 which didn't work. Very easily could've had 6 comebacks in 12 games. He's not perfect but he's clearly a special quarterback
... and the owner of that game ending FG block v the Browns a few years back that resulted in the Will Hill return for TD - the most Browns way to lose a game :D
If the Ravens offense looks even 80% of what it did in 2019 the only team they're 100% losing to is Tampa lol. Not a single other defense on that schedule can stop the run enough to securely beat the Ravens. This team could legitimately go 15-2.
First time I've ever heard anyone say how consistently bad USC WRs have been in the past. USC skill position players have been horrible in the NFL for the last 15 years or so.
Calais campbell wants a ring? What about sliding in next to the best defensive player + one of the greatest defensive groups in recent history. The LA Rams :D :D :D
I was hoping the Vikes would try and trade Mond for Huntley before they extended Kirk. I thought he would be a better QB option than any of the guys in this years draft.
Im calling a 10-6 record for them but I think they will be a playoff worthy team even if they dont make it unless they get injured again. I don't like the media take on the passing offense where they act like receivers dont get a shot tho. Hollywood had 91 catches last year and Andrews had 106 catches, but Hollywood cud have had 130 catches if he didnt drop so many passes. I think Greg Roman should use some better concepts but receivers do get chances to make plays in the offense. I am hoping they may go a lot more no huddle this year because most teams dont have enough depth in base personnel to counter a no huddle offense and running more outside zone cud stop any team from running the defense the chargers used against them in that playoff game. Idk why they dont put Lamar under center more for the running game but if even one of the undrafted lineman works out they cud rotate o lineman for drives and that wud help with the no huddle offense. I think if they do that Mark Andrews may play the X role with someone else at TE when Bateman is taking a breather, but running a no huddle spread with multiple TE's and RB's is something I think they should so and not what they will do I'm just projecting what I think cud be the most effective with their personel because I really like their personnel with a scheme I wud love to see in the NFL. I wud even be cool with Duvernay getting some carries on outside zone off jet motion or just more regular jet plays or orbit screens. I love watching the Bengals but the Ravens were the team I watched before because I loved their offense because it was different but I think they need to make some changes to really take advantage of Lamar because I feel most of the issues that people have with Lamar are caused by the lack of his offense in the past just not allowing him to do whatever people say he is lacking.
Their floor is easily 13, they have one of the easiest schedules in the AFC, they dont play cheifs, chargers, raiders, titans, colts, or patriots. I guess they go 13-4
There are several things that the Ravens have been known for the last few years: a great run game, great coaching, great defense, a lackluster passing game, and failing in the playoffs. I see all of that happening again (as long as Mike McDonald is competent as the new DC). I like Lamar, but he is not a consistent passer. Plain and simple. His insane running ability opens up the passing game, not the other way around. Having Rashod Bateman as your WR1 could work if he improves; but, as always, if they get behind in a game they’re going to struggle to catch up. Unless, of course, they get to play teams that sustain tons of CB injuries halfway through the game like the Colts did last season and get a comeback due to that. I genuinely think people forgot how terrible Lamar was in the first half before the Colts’ CB injuries, and the fact that the Colts missed the game-winning FG. That comeback was a fluke to me, not the new standard. Floor: 9-8. Ceiling: 12-5. Prediction: 11-6 (and a first round exit 😈)
What about all the other near or succeeded game winning drives? There's another comment that spells out how Lamar easily could have had 6 comebacks last year in 12 games
@@thetruealex7478 The only other successful comebacks I’m aware of are against the Bears, Lions, the Chiefs and the Vikings. The Lions and Vikings were both not good and historically choke, the Bears were terrible and the Chiefs threw the game away with turnovers so I don’t credit Lamar for that. I’m also aware of their close games against the Packers, Steelers and Browns. Two of those games involved Huntley, not Lamar, and the Steelers were a 4-win team. They also blew a lead against the Raiders multiple times. I couldn’t find whatever comment you were talking about so let me know if I missed something.

Odell or trade for Tyler Johnson
Released from what? Can we know? if not I understand, but if its public maybe I missed it in an episode.
these videos carry me thru my "breaks" at work. Love it fellas
OGs know this is a reupload cuz brett accidentally put up the Steelers one under the ravens title😂

Phenomenal phenomenal content. Thank you guys.

I promise I won't forget Calais Campbell anytime soon since I had to watch him disrupt the Hawks for years
stuck in the house with horrible weather, thank you

Finally. I’ve been waiting a month for this
Am I crazy or did they upload this one earlier, take it down, then post it again?
Thank you for dropping!
Ricky Person Jr is a tank, other half of the combo with Bam Knight. I loved him at NC State.
Can’t wait for the Watson ruling to come out right after your Browns video drops
This was fantastic....
So so so happy

Hey Brett, love the content! One note, Hollywood Brown costs less than 3 million in 2022, and 9 million in 2023. Hes on the cheap for yhe cards
New episode hype!
Missing that brent urban is a former raven as well as they drafted him.

This ravens draft has a 2017 Saints draft feel
If Tee Martin really is that good, one of those UDFA receivers has to make the roster.
My theory is Tee Martin is next up for OC
Wish it was this season
Especially since they are treating Roman like Cam Cameron.
And we almost beat the Super Bowl champs with a BACK UP QB 😤
Having watched all of these so far, I've learned 1 thing. These 2 don't know what the terms "celling" and "floor" mean
Bret Urban is a former Ravens as well lol
