RAVENS RASHOD BATEMAN ALLEGATIONS JUST TOOK A HUGE TURN! | HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW NOW!

There's a whole lot going on in the Ravens wide receiver room that could potentially impact all wide receivers two, three, and four. Starting off with Rashad Baitman, all wide receiver, too. There was a report that came out last week from Aaron Wilson that said the Texans were looking for a wide receiver because they lost Jaden Higgins for the season. And that report included their interest in one Ravens wide receiver, Rashad Baitman. So, I was thinking, oh man, would the Ravens actually make that move? Would they be willing to give up Rashad Baitman for some draft capital? Well, the Texans, they ended up signing two receivers that day, so that kind of cooled it down a bit. But then this came out yesterday. It says the Patriots are sending wide receiver Kan Booty to the Texans for safety, Jaylen Reid, and a draft pick. So, I'm like, "All right, cool. Rashad Baitman, he's staying with the Ravens." But the news about Rashad Baitman, it didn't stop there because shortly after that original report that the Texans were interested in possibly trading for him, another report came out that has some very, very strong allegations. But then yesterday, a follow-up report to that came out from TMZ and it said, uh, cops say that he, Rashelle Baitman, shoved baby mama into the wall before the car attack. And let's read the report. It says, "According to police report obtained by TMZ, the Ravens wide receivers's girlfriend, Marissa Crumbley, told officers an argument erupted around 3:30 a.m. on June 3rd. She claimed they were fighting over her past with Baitman allegedly calling her a liar. Crumbly told cops Baitman pushed her into a corner wall, leaving her with facial contusions. She said he later told her to pack her things and leave the home. But she claims after she left with their daughter, Crumbley says Baitman repeatedly called in text allegedly threatening to put her dog out on the street because he was upset about not being able to say goodbye to the kid. The report says the two then agreed to meet. Cops say Baitman arrived in a black SUV with a driver tried to puncture Crumbley's rear tire with a screwdriver and then used a tool repeatedly to strike her windshield and driver's side window. As TMZ previously reported, cops say the shattered glass from the window caused cuts to Crumbley's face. Though the report states EMS found no apparent injuries, both mother and child were taken to a hospital. So that is the latest with Rashad Baitman. Again, allegations, strong allegations, but still allegations nonetheless. And we obviously hope everybody involved in that entire situation is safe, is good, uh, and is not harmed at all. U, but this is something that could potentially impact Rashad Baitman's availability, uh, with the Baltimore Ravens. Uh, we obviously got to wait and monitor everything that comes out, every single piece, every single news article, every single bit of information because the more that comes out, the higher chance it is that things could change. So now a couple hours after that previous story came out, more information come out. I I was sitting there eating my dinner and just scrolling on Twitter and bam, I saw this. Rashad Baitman's baby mama walks back her wall shove claim. Says he never put hands on her. Let's read the report from TMZ Sports. Once again, it said Rashad Baitman's baby mama told prosecutors days after their June incident that he never shoved her into a wall or put his hands on her, walking back the account she initially gave cops. Marissa Crumbley authorized Baitman's attorneys to provide TMZ with the email she sent on June 8th, 5 days after the alleged incident in which she said she wanted to explain the true side of the story. Crumbly wrote that officers pressured her into identifying Baitman and invaded her privacy by lifting her head wrap to photograph marks on her face. She claimed the bruises and marks was were self-inflicted out of emotion and frustration. She specifically recanted her allegation that Baitman pushed her into a wall, writing, "He did not push me or put hands on me in any way." Crumbley says she made untrue statements because she was upset and wanted to get Baitman in trouble. Crumbley also wrote that she and Baitman are not violent toward one another, still love each other, and want to move forward in a healthier way for their daughter. Wow, that's definitely a uh big turn of events right there. And that does go obviously with everything that was said goes heavy uh in Baitman's favor. Um because and and this is why when it comes to allegations, we can't just run with it and be like and not not to discredit what anybody ever says, but with allegations, we got to continue to wait for all the information to come out. It's very very important because allegations are very very strong. They can be very very powerful and they can make you turn your head sideways and just it can make you think a lot of things. Um but it's important that we wait for facts to come out. Uh I I'm hoping for both parties, for both sides, that this could be the end of the story and it can be a peaceful, happy ending. Uh but we'll hopefully there won't be any more, but you just never know with these type of things. Uh but again, this does help Rashad Baitman out a lot and we'll just have to wait and see if anything else ends up coming out of it. Uh Jess Ree earlier this off seasonason he said that it seemed like Jacobe Lane was really pushing for that number three spot uh even over thirdyear receiver TZ Walker because Jacobe Lane has been doing everything right in practice in training camp in joint practice and then in a preseason game. But it was this last preseason game that really showed us oh Jacobe Lane is officially that number three guy. Reason being because it was late into the game and TZ Walker, he was still out there doing his thing, looking good. But when Leonte Wester scored a touchdown, Jacobe Lane was on the sideline celebrating with Leonte Wester, but Jacobe Lane ain't have on no jersey. So that indicates to us that his day was over and so was his preseason. But with TZ Walker still being out there on the field, that will let us know that TZ Walker has officially dropped to wide receiver 4 and our third round pick continues to move on up. So with him getting that wide receiver three spot officially, unofficially, could he end up even supplanting Rashad Baby? Now I know it's early, but still with all this going on with number seven, could number six move up one more spot? Let me know how you feel about that in the comments section.

Namdi Madabk continues to ramp up his practice activity today. He was hitting the sleds for the very first time. We like oh look that 92 and we just envisioning him out there on week one going against the Colts sacking Daniel Jones like two, three, four time. You know what? Give me five sacks Madabique. Might as well have a big welcome back party. But Jesse Mentor say, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. We do not know exactly when he's going to be fully ready yet." Let's just listen to his exact words on Nami Madabik. >> Yeah, that's that's something we'll look at. You know, I don't know if they got a definitive answer for that. It'll it'll kind of see, you know, I I think every day is like how did today go? What more can we maybe do? So, uh I don't know the answer to that right now. just uh we'll we'll continue to to look look for that um and see where that's at. But we again we feel really good about him uh you know being in a good position to help us. >> So we just got to wait it out. Like Mensa said there is no definitive date on when Nami Madab is going to return. We do see he got the neck brace off. So he's progressing but he's not quite ready yet. So it is nice that they did sign a Kasa Campbell. It is nice that they do have a Travis Jones. They brought back Jon Jenkins. They still got Ania's people. So just in case Nambdi Madabk ain't ready, they do have some weapons in their arsenal to take his place as we wait. We made it to my favorite part of the videos where we get to hear from you. Make sure you subscribe, leave a like on the video. Click that thumbs up button. First question, it came from my guy Daniel who's a team keeping it clean patron. I appreciate you. If any of y'all would like to become a patron, you can go to patreon.com/engravening vids. And there you go. You can send your question on there like my guy Daniel did. He said, "WHAT'S UP MY GUY? What's up, Daniel? What's happening with you?" He said, "Uh, and team, keep it clean. It's nice to have football back and awesome to hang out with the fans on live for games again." Yeah, us Ravens fans, we we we've been having a good time. A real good time. I appreciate all y'all that have been coming through. He said, "Anyhow, I see a lot of fans worried about our offense. We only have one starting offensive lineman out there, and what makes our offense pop is our one-of-akind quarterback, and he hasn't played. I think we will be just fine once the real season starts." Yeah, I I agree. And now, what I will say, we still want that offensive line to be good. Excuse me. No, no, no. We want that offensive line to be great. So we don't want it to be where Lamar Jackson that he if he don't got time he got to run around all the time and to make something happen. No, we don't want that. We want that to the running to be a bonus. We want that to be a luxury, not a necessity. So as long as that offensive line and offensive coordinator in this team can provide that, we'll be in some good shape. He said, "What I wanted to see was how mentor ran a defense, and I'm so hyped. Like we have like a quarter of our firepower out there and we have all but uh put a halt to being scored on. I think this is going to be a stellar year for us. Big love team keep it clean. And I think everybody would agree with you on that. Next questions came from Keante, another team keep it clean patron. Shout out to Keiante. He said, uh, it's been a minute for me. Been tuned in to the lives and watching all the videos. Just been saving my questions because the family be asking them for me. That's true. We all one big family. So, a lot of us be thinking the same. Uh, he said, "I got a hard decision that in my opinion we need to make. I don't love it, but Rashad Baitman being traded doesn't sound too bad. Bump Jacobe uh to wide receiver two. Give wide receiver three to Teas so we can hold on to Serat and Wester because either of those guys hit the practice squad, they are gone. Oh no, neither one of them would even touch the practice squad though. But see, see what we were talking about at the top of this video. We my guy he he thinking a lot of the but anyway he said uh Bait just needs a a change of scenery. Loves my guy, but it's a dark cloud over him and not the one when darkness falls. Uh, how do you feel about that? I know it's a clean slate, but a draft pick or two in 2027 and we replace him easy. I mean, Serat kind of already is his replacement. Um, I I wouldn't necessarily say Elijah Sarat is his replacement, but um, that would certainly be something to trade Rashad Baitman away. And I I I really do wonder just how all of this stuff going on is going to impact him. Obviously, again, the Ravens got a lot more information that than we do. Um, more information keeps coming out, but I'm sure the Ravens, they got all of that. They know all of that. So, I I just wonder how they're going to handle it because the last time when allegations about a player just kept coming out, then kept coming out, then kept coming out, then more kept coming out, that was obviously Justin Tucker, and they moved on. They tried to say, "Oh, no, it's for football reasons." It wasn't for football reasons only. It was because of them allegations. So, with Rashad Baitman, I think everything just depends on how everything else goes. It it's very hard to give a a straight up answer like oh yeah they should definitely trade Rashad Bon or they should definitely release Rashad Bon they should definitely keep Rashad Baitman. Everything depends on everything. So this is so much that we just really don't know yet. Expectations for LJ. Next question came from my guy Avery. He said what's up Raven? Hope all is well with you and the family as well as the rest of the team. Keep it clean. Appreciate you Avery. He said what are your expectations for La Marvelous this upcoming season? Oh I I feel like MVP of the league for sure. um new offense and just a healthy Lamar Jackson. Uh just feeling revitalized and rejuvenated, new head coach. Yeah. Um I I say MVP for sure. And then with the offense, I just I got high expectations for them. I really do. I know we got a rookie offensive coordinator and that is a big deal. Uh we got a lot of youth at the wide receiver position. Um but I just I want to see them all put it together. And as far as defense, Jesse Mentor already showed he's insane. So, oh, well, you talking about Lamar specifically. Okay. So, I'mma say MVP of the league because I was about to start going about the whole team and whatnot. I'm gonna say MVP of the league. And I am going to say at minimum AFC Championship at minimum. Obviously, we want the Super Bowl. We need the Super Y. No, you know what? It's expectations. So, Super Bowl Super Bowl MVP, too. MVP of the league and Super Bowl MVP. So, that that that's what I'm saying. I I got high expectations for this team. And I it I just I know what we've been through. I I know what we've been through recently, too. Yikes. Woo. It's been painful. But it just seems like these guys that like they get it, man. Seem like they get it. The communication is there. Uh we see how the defense is just so disciplined. And we've been watching a bunch of rookies these past two games. We've been watching a bunch of first, second, third year play, young inexperienced players. and they be disciplined. Like that's crazy. Do you know how crazy that is? Like and this we got a brand new head coach. Brand new head coach. He ain't never been a head coach before, but the for the team to be this disciplined with a brand new head. That's crazy, man. So again, that what we've seen, I know it's preseason, but still what we've seen has raised my expectations for this team for sure and for Lamar Jackson as well. I know your question was just about Lamar, but anyway, he said, um, I feel like it'll be very similar to 2024, but only two picks and they won't even be his fault and for sure an MVP. I had the Ravens finish in first and winning the division with the Bengals second. Let me know what you think. Oh yeah, I wouldn't even care who was second. Ravens first in the division. Okay, cool. What about first in AS? How you feeling about that, Avery? Let me know, man. He said, "Thank you for all that you do." And like Coach Hubba, I'm out. Mentor versus Mahomes. Next question came from Numa. Now, before we even read your question, when I saw that title, I said, "Oh, man, that is a huge part of the Ravens hiring Jesse Mentor, I think, because the Chiefs have had our number. There have been some close games, but there have been some games where they just straight up whooped us, too. Multiple games where they straight up whooped us. The only time we beat them, we bar we barely did. We won. It was great. That's why I felt it almost felt like a Super Bowl, but it we ain't done that at all except that one time. So, it's Yeah, Mentor, he he knows Patrick Mahomes and he know how to get the best of them, too. So, that Oh, let me just read your question though. Anyway, he said, "What's up in Graven?" What's up, Numa? He said, "Hope all is well. Wanted to bring something to your attention. Jesse Mentor coming over from the AFC West has some decent exposure to Patrick Mahomes in four games against the Chiefs. points allowed versus the Chiefs in 2024 week four 17 2024 week 14 19 2025 week 1 21 points in 2025 week 15 13 points that is amazing against a Chiefs offense to give up 17 19 21 and 13 that's amazing he said that's about 17.5 points per game is a double-edged sword because although Mentor is very familiar with the Andy Reid offense it works the other way around as well I think having Mentor will help us out when we inevitably run up against the Chiefs again in the AFC Championship this year. Oh, he put that in all caps this year. What do you think? Oh, it'll definitely help out a lot because yeah, Andy Reid knows ment knows Andy Reed and he knows how to get the best of him defensively. Now, does Andy Reid know Declan Doyle like that? See, that's Hey. Oh, man. And and with that being said, even just going back to Jesse Mena versus Andy Reid, like we got uh Kyle Hamilton, we got uh Trey Hendrickson, we got a new Rocoan Smith, we got a smarter, more experienced Malachi Starks. We got a lot of experienced Marlon Humphrey. We got a healthier Nate like Kas M. Like I ain't got to keep going down the roster. Um, but it's it's exciting, man. And against the Chiefs, I would be like extra worried every single game we would go against the Chiefs because they had our number. And I had every reason to worry every single game against the Chiefs because they had our number. Um, but now like having Jesse Mint gives us a newfound confidence. So, I'm excited to see how he does. I'm excited to see what he does and I'm excited to see how this team does against the Chiefs now that we looking brand new. This year will be exciting. Next question came from my guy Javanni. What's up, Greg? Hope all is well with you and the entire family. Bro, this preseason game showed us a lot. Let's start with the obvious. Uh Jacobe Lane is as advertised. He can run routes. He understands his assignment. A great additional piece for Lamar. It also showed Declan can call plays just uh but my belief if you're going up against that defense every day you and you find ways to win any other defense is a walk in the park. That's a good good point cuz yeah, Ravens defense know they be giving our offense fits like fits like crazy. So that sets us up nice. He said we saw decent offensive line play could be better, but with Stanley and Simpson as starters, there will be better run lanes. Uh I believe the defense played old school Ravens football. There were no arm tackles. You can tell it's preached to players if he got the ball, lower your shoulder and run through him. the secondary played as a unit and the stats tell us that there's so much more I want to say, but I'll save some uh for another game. Oh, and this week we get a better understanding of our team uh as far as the starters because we have joint practices coming up uh that will give us a better understanding of how this season may go. Thank you for your time, brother, and I wish you all the peace and love. No, I appreciate you, Javon. And yeah, this week we done had the joint practices last week with the Vikings. That went pretty good and now we got them with the Commanders. So, I expect it to go even better. Next question came from my guy Zagger. He said, "How's everything going my guy? Hope all is well. Did you see number 77 for the Giants? He plays a lot like Daniel Flea. This guy, he obviously sent this before the trade." He said, "Oh yeah, that's right. It's the same person. Show would hate to be a Giants fan. Shannon Shaw said it should be illegal to be that big inside." Yeah, Shannon Shaw, man. I always say I hope Dane Fle do not see the stuff that Shannon Shaw be saying cuz Shannon Shaw be going in on Dane Filele like crazy, man. He really does. He said, "Also, yes, the loss of Likely did hurt, but if you think about it, losing Likely was the price to pay for getting rid of Filele and Harbaugh. I'm all for it." Uh, no, not necessarily. They They could have done that some other ways, too, and kept likely, but it is what it is. He said, "Uh, I still believe in Mark Andrews to come out and get it done this season." Oh, we going to need them to. Next question came from my guy JOSHUA B. I AIN'T HEARD FROM you in a minute, my friend. He said, "Uh, as I'm writing this, I just saw a tweet about Baitman being arrested, but I see it says that it happened in June. We don't know everything that happened, so I'm not going to judge or anything until it's 100% proof, especially in 2026. So, this will be if he plays all the games. Yeah, exactly. It's allegations. Allegations doesn't mean facts. Uh, but anyway, he said, uh, what's up, Raven? Hope you and family are doing amazing and enjoy your summer before everybody goes back to school. I've been inactive sending emails, but been watching as much as I could. It's been a real rough last couple of months mentally and with family death, but uh, but pushing through as much as we can. Oh, man. Sorry to hear that, man. But I'm glad you still holding it down, man. still pushing through and you inactive s it's fine it's fine you take all the time that you need to get yourself right that's the most important thing man these videos they always be there you got to worry about that so you being back now though we we appreciate you and we glad you're doing good man he said I appreciate the videos you Bobby and Sarah the collective and Marvel movies has been helping me push through oh okay shout out to Doomsday coming up soon he said uh but this email is all is for all the Baitman haters out there and sorry in advance because it's a long email I don't want to get rid of Rashad and let Lane move up to wide receiver 2 without proving anything yet. Oh, see what were we just talking about at the top of this video? Let's keep going though. He said Lane is a dog. Let's Let's let him develop for the future until he proves he's better than Bait. I think he will be wide receiver too, but not yet. Now, uh say we do get rid of Baitman. What's one reason and knock on Lane? What's one reason and a knock on Lane coming out of college? His separation against press man. If we don't let Lane prove it and just throw him in a fire and he hasn't improved yet and developed yet to be uh that part of his game and getting off the press immediately, it doesn't help Lamar. But we know Baitman can get open quickly and route somebody up when healthy and gets the opportunities, especially from the coaching staff. In 2024, Baitman was top 10 in separation for a reason. He is a route runner. Baitman can get open and he's very underrated finding a soft spot in the zone in the middle of a field. And I know y'all remember he was a first down magnet early on. I've been a Baitman truther and believer since 2021. Even though yes, Bayon has let down with injuries and some drops and like you say, Zay's had some drops also, but he gets more opportunities to make it up. If Baitman can get a little bit of those opportunities to make it up, he's still like that. And that's what we interested in seeing. Uh if Rashad Baitman is, like you said, if he is with the team this year, if everything stays as is, uh then we would like to see Baitman get more opportunities to prove himself. And like cuz with Baitman with the lack of opportunities, everything you do is going to get magnified for better or for worse. So if you have few opportunities and you catch everything, you make every single play. Oh man, hey man, this dude needs some more opportunities. But if you have one drop, you have two drops, it's going to stand out more because your opportunities come so far and few. That's how with Tylen Wallace, he and I I hate the comparison, but with Tylen Wallace, he caught everything thrown his way. Everything thrown his way. He ain't have no drops. He ain't get that many opportunities, but when he had his opportunities, he made the most of it. So, with Baitman, we hoping that he can do that, but also uh combine that with getting more opportunities as well. He said with Greg Roman as OC, y'all know how his scheme in the in 2022 after Hollywood left, he was wide receiver one and he was cooking. He was on pace for 1K. Injury slowed him down and because he was our only wide receiver, he tried to stay on the field to help out the team and play, but he just made his injury worse. We all saw the flash in 2024. We know what he can do with the opportunity and that he's talking about this new coaching staff and OC and what everybody's saying on offense. I think he will thrive minimum 750 yards or 900 plus yards and that's with in my opinion Z getting around 1,400 also. So that man said we about to have some receivers feasting. He said just watch bait will silent y'all. Oh, I like that confidence. Next question came from another team keeping clean patron. My guy Keesan. literally just sent this tonight. It's 10:55. He sent this at 10:54. Let's see what he said. He said, "What it do, homie? Hope everything's been good going for you recently." Been a long while since I last messaged you, and now is a perfect time cuz last time I did, I mentioned how you should check out Ethan Burke. Yeah. Ethan Burke said, "Oh, you don't want to watch no film on me? Well, I'm going to show you something in the preseason game so you don't forget." Yeah, that man been balling. He said, "Uh, and how I feel like he would be a perfect fit for this team." And I was right. Uh, maybe one day I could be a scout. We never know. Hey, go for it. Go for it. You going to bring fresh eyes, fresh perspective to the Raven or whoever you work for. Even if you don't work for the Ravens. But anyway, he said, uh, I he said, we never know. Like, no, I could never. No, you could. Don't say you could never. You could. He said, but anyway, I seen a comment saying that Har would have made Ethan Burke play fullback. I seen a comment saying that Harbaugh would have made Ethan Burke play fullback. Lol. Well, my question I got for you is, how do you feel about the stage we at in the offseason where now we have to cut some players now? Cuz I know for sure EDC and Mentor are both about to be stressing this whole week. Yeah, that's real, man. They're going to have some real tough decisions to make. Very, very tough decisions to make because there's a lot of different players where we feel like, man, are they going to make the roster? Ravens could be a little crowded in this spot or they may not carry as many uh bodies at that particular spot. Like you look at quarter like Joe Faniano, are they going to keep him? No, probably not. We love them to and he man, but I don't think they're going to. Uh I think they'll try him for the practice squad and they might he probably clear waiverss and get him on. Well, no, he probably won't clear waves, but we'll see. We We'll see what happens with Joe Feniano. Um but Ethan Burke is another one. That's a tricky one right there. A defensive end. Um man, like we got Zion Young. Uh we got Trey Hendrickson. Uh we got Tavius Robinson. Uh, so I guess DNA uh there's Adisa Isaac for now. I I I don't think he's going to make the roster though. I don't think Ada Isaac is going to make the roster. We're Yeah, I don't think he is. But yeah, I I'm just glad that the Ravens um EDC and Mint, they got to take care of that and not me cuz I man I'm struggling now thinking about it. So I could imagine them when they get paid the big bucks to make those decisions. So it's definitely going to be some people where we're like, "Oh man, why did they cut him? How could they let him go? Why would they make that decision? But it's part of the business. I hope y'all enjoyed this video. I appreciate you watching it.
