| "Yeah bruh, I see what you're sayin'! But can I blast him after the season?" |
If Flacco is your quarterback then he's the only one that you've got. You can't go out and get another one between now and Sunday bruh. It don’t work like that. Therefore, you’ve got to do everything you can to keep him focused and give him some support in the process. You’re too close to the Super Bowl to operate like that. Otherwise, he implodes on you and you can't blame anyone but those that threw him under the bus. It’s even worse when family takes a shot at you because you don’t expect it.
We all know that the defense has been carrying the Ravens for 10 years. When Trent Dilfer was the quarterback on their last Super Bowl team all he did was manage the game. He didn't turn the ball over and allowed the defense to take them to the promise land to win it all. Nobody called him out bruh! When the 1985 Bears won the Super Bowl it was the defense or more appropriately "The Monster's of the Midway" that made it happen. Jim McMahn was a game manager and didn't put the defense in bad situations.
Not one of those guys was stupid enough to blast their quarterback in an open forum just days before what would have been the biggest game of their lives. My first thoughts are when I see a comments that Ed was completely right in doing what he did. Two things come to mind. The person saying it has never played sports beyond little league or didn't grow up in the hood. Both the hood and sports teach you real quick what being loyal is all about. If they did play beyond little league and grew up in the hood they took a lot of physical punishment along the way.
It's like this bruh, if you're out in the club with the fella's and your homeboy gets into an argument with some cat. You see from the jump that your boy is dead wrong. However, it's already escalated and a punch is thrown. You see that the other guy has a crew and they’re all in. You can't leave your boy out in the cold and not help him even though he's dead wrong. You scrap to get out of the joint then you curse him out later. You don't run out of the back door and leave him because he was wrong because that's your boy. You check him in the ride bruh!
That's what family does and being on a team is no different. Of course you've got clicks in the locker room because the defense is always pitted against the offense. Depending upon who's the more dominant aspect of the team boyz have no problem saying it to each other in the locker room. It's been that way since they invented the freaking game. However, when you leave the locker room you're family.
You can't go out in the street and talk bad about your spouse unless you're about to get another spouse bruh! That's wrong on so many levels and to say that what Ed did was acceptable tells me that you've never seen what a real whoopin' looks like in the hood. I’ve seen boyz get beat down for much less!
Some things go against family protocol and calling out an already unstable family member falls into that category. Let’s say you’ve got a family member that’s a complete screw up. You don’t go out and tell everybody that he or she is! You know it’s not for public consumption. If people find out they find out on their own.
Now that Flacco’s been put out there he's going to do two things on Sunday. He's going to try to make plays when he shouldn't because he knows everybody wants him to and turn the freaking ball over. Secondly, he's going to be conservative on plays that he shouldn't because he doesn’t want to make a mistake. Either way he’s going to fall apart when he shouldn’t.
Just leave the guy alone because he's played well enough for you to get to the conference championship! Why blast him now bruh? He’s been horrible all season! If the defense is carrying you then it is what it is. He isn't going to get any better because you called him out. He's only going to give you what he's got! Like I said before, it was a punk move because Ed picked on the guy in the locker room that he knew wasn’t going to give him a two piece and a biscuit!
Holla At Ya boy!
