Today, on the season premiere of “Charm City Beasts”. A devastating loss to end their season last year leads the Ravens into a year of redemption and insanity. Lamar Jackson has been telling his critics that he will prove them wrong by means of throwing the deep ball. The additions of Calais Campbell, Derek Wolfe, and Patrick Queen, as well as JK Dobbins look to give the Boys of Baltimore a push in the race for the Super Bowl. The only huge losses were the ego of Earl Thomas, Marshal Yanda, and Michael Pierce. Other than that they are returning most of their 14-2 team from last year plus both coordinators. It appears the Ravens are in class to themselves as well as the Chiefs, but some think they will be figured out and be proven right. Meanwhile.
Daybreak, Cleveland Ohio: The entire city and all of the Dawg Pound have regained their 2019 hype. New Coaching staff, more weapons, a revamped offensive line, Baker looking confident, and brand new uniforms. In fact 60% of America is picking the upset of the week to be the Browns. The Ravens are the perfect opponent to flash their potential. This should be fun.
Narrator (me): In this Week 1 battle the Charm City Beasts took on an old foe, Cleveland. The Browns just happen to be the team that gave the Ravens their most recent loss in the regular season. The key for Baltimore was to not let it happen again. They got the message, the Ravens D kicked off the game the same way they did last year with an opening drive interception which led to the touchdown catch of the week from Mark Andrews. The Browns were forced to a 3 and out but WHY DID THE BROWNS FAKE A PUNT ON 4TH AND 4 AT YOUR OWN 30 YARD LINE! “STAFANSKI DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM BILL O’BRIEN LAST YEAR!” The good news is for Cleveland that the miscue only led to a field goal, and on their next drive they gained a majority of their rushing yards and scored a potentially momentum turning touchdown. The Ravens would go straight down the field with a bomb to Hollywood Brown, but it was all for naught as Patrick Ricard fumbled on a 3rd and 1 at the 15. Wait a minute the Browns might take the lead, scratch that they shot themselves in the foot again. False Start, Facemask on Odell, Delay of Game, Sack. Despite the Dawgs pinning the Ravens at the 1 yard line. Then Lamar Jackson rode shotgun on that drive as the Boys in Purple went 99 yards for a touchdown, that was the first time in 19 years that the Ravens accomplished this feat. The Browns though wouldn’t go away they got down deep into Ravens territory and looked like they would cut the Baltimore lead. What happened, drop by OBJ, field goal NO GOOD, Ravens go down the field for another touchdown.
The Ravens in the second half played keep away and won 38-6, yes even if the score was dominated by Baltimore, Cleveland entered the spotlight for the wrong reasons again. Long before the game Odell, and Jarvis Landry were trash talking Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey shortly after Peters got an extension from the Ravens and they both said that “those two corners will be destroyed by us for years to come.” Those two had a combined 83 yards against the 2 All Pro Corners in Purple. It doesn’t end there either, Sheldon Richardson also said that Lamar is going to run for most of the game, he said that “Jackson has not yet turned into Aaron Rodgers”, on Sunday he did. I would also blame Kevin Stafanski as well, all they talked about was calling play action plays for weeks and they only ran 6 of those in that game. Once again can someone tell me why he faked a punt on a 4 and 4 at the 30. To me Jimmy Haslem is Football’s version of Harold Ballard. All he has done is run this franchise into the ground with his lack of hiring experienced coaches, Keeping Hue Jackson way too long, hiring coaches that were one year coordinators with no experience, and hiring coordinators that have never been one. Not to mention the ticket prices at FirstEnergy Stadium since 2018 on a regular basis have been way too expensive and that is why so many of their fans have to go to road games to see them. Their analytical approach is already failing, I know what is going to happen if they don’t make the playoffs, he keeps Baker Mayfield, OBJ, and Jarvis Landry, he fires his entire staff, and brings in experienced coaches. The NFL needs to force him out of that franchise, the reason is because he is the only reason why they aren’t competing for championships.
The Browns fans are also ridiculous, all I kept hearing the week before this game was “Baker will roast the Ravens like last year.” OBJ and Jarvis are the two best receivers in football” Lamar is a RUNNING BACK” “We are going to crush you guys because we are the best team in the division!” Once again arrogance and ego are their fans’ downfall. They have been hyping this team more than the entire NFC combined only to get embarrassed. I know they have all of the talent there is on paper but they need to as Taylor Swift would say “CALM DOWN”! Because they need to learn a lesson from this. This document should be talking specifically about the Ravens but I will say that they once again proved why they are big brother to Cleveland since the move in 1995.
As for the Ravens, what will we expect from a Lamar pass heavy offense, will the defense give Deshawn Watson a beating like last year. Find out next week on “Charm City Beasts”!
