 First question to start us off came from my guy, John. He said, is this defense first and foremost, what up? How are you in the family? Congratulations on the addition to the family. I appreciate that, John. He said, now that the pleasantries are out the way, let's get to the meat and potatoes. Can this defense be considered the best defense of all time? If I'm not mistaken, it is the first defense in NFL history to be a triple crown leader. Now, best defense of all time, it's really hard to say that. I can't say that. But it is insane, absolutely crazy that the Baltimore Ravens did this because shout out to Ken McCusick, Film Study Ravens. Y'all follow him on Twitter and check out his podcast as well. He showed the past Ravens defenses and he showed the sacks, the points per game and the takeaways and show where they ranked in all three categories. So 2000, obviously the infamous Ravens defense in 2000. In sacks, they will rank 22. He'll 22nd in sacks. I mean, and then in points per game, they will rank first and in takeaways, they will rank first. So they had two out of the three. In 2003, another great defense. They would rank first in sacks, but then points per game, they were six and takeaways, they were third. In 2006, the infamous Ravens defense that a lot of people put up there with 2000, not right up there in sacks, they will rank second. In points per game, they will rank first and in takeaways, they will rank first. So they got two out of the three. Then 2008, I mean, they were 11th in sacks. They were third in points per game and they were first in takeaways. But regardless, anyway, going down to 2023, the Baltimore Ravens were first in sacks. They were first in points per game and they were first in takeaways. That is crazy because, and you would think, like even in 2006, they will rank second, first and first, but you would have thought for sure, like a previous Ravens defense, they got all three, right? They got all three. They led in all three categories before, right? Nope, it's never been done. And that's crazy because when you think of Baltimore Ravens, especially well before, before LeMau, and even early with LeMau, you think about defense. You think about defense so much. Obviously with LeMau Jackson, he's changed a lot of the perception on the Baltimore Ravens, but you think so much about defense and you would have been for sure. Oh yeah, Ravens, they done got all three, but no, no. So this is insane that the Baltimore Ravens, they, and not only that they did it, but they did it in the year 2023. Like, cause y'all know, we know, like offense is everything nowadays. It's everything. So for the Baltimore Ravens to be able to accomplish such a defensive feat in the football that we watch nowadays, that's amazing. But back to his question, he said, if I'm not mistaken, it is the first defense in NFL history to be a triple crown leader. We led the league in points allowed, related to the league and takeaways and we led the league in sacks. I mean, everybody talks about the Bears defense and then everybody talks about us as the Baltimore Ravens defense and Ray Lewis with our first Super Bowl. But this is a sleeper team that should be held in that conversation. Yes, and no, no, no, any, yes. I had to put no first, but no, and yes. No, because like it's hard, but no, because like those defense like those defenses, but yes, because they for the, again, what I was saying earlier with how football has played nowadays and all the emphasis that's put on offense, all the rules that favor the offense, for you to have a defense that does that in this day and that's crazy, man. That's really crazy. And we cannot take away anything from them. We cannot discredit them with all the, again, the penalties that go towards the offense with all the stuff that the defensive players just cannot do nowadays. You can't even look at a quarterback the wrong way. You can't even sneeze on a quarterback. You cannot touch a wide receiver at all. You can't even breathe on a wide receiver. That's what's gonna be a penalty for this defense to do that in this day and age. That that's amazing. And he said, if so, it does that mean that the Baltimore Ravens are the best defensive organization ever to be assembled. Oh, you guys have some hard-hitting questions early on. Well, they, they definitely had a consistency. They have the consistency. And again, that's what they were known for from jump is defense. So regardless on your opinion, the only thing that matters is let's finish the story. I love it. I love it. That's it. And then he said, scripted or not, I need to be able to go home to Baltimore and celebrate our third title. So my guy, he trying to go to the parade. He already planning on going to the parade. I don't know what my wife, she asked me. She said, oh, is Raven winning Super Bowl? You gonna go to the parade? I said, well, probably. But hey, we're gonna see. But he said, hey, keep up the good work. This community definitely appreciates you and your work. Salute. Now I appreciate you, John. And nice way to start us off with questions from subs.

I appreciate that, Nayan. He said, you have my full consent to use this video and audio to honor our deal. I had to edit the video so it would send, but as a man of my word, I apologize for previous comments about hashtag JC24. So he's apologizing for his comments that he said about my guy, Jadevian Clowney. Because I remember he said Jadevian Clowney ain't it. He said he ain't it. And I said, all right. Okay, that's cool, that's cool. Everybody got their own opinion. I said, is the Europeans wrong? But everybody got their own opinion. That's cool though, that's cool. But I told him like, hey, watch. I told him just watch, watch and watch my guy, man. And I said, make sure. I said, you gotta issue a public apology when it's time. And here we go. Apologize for looking rough. I'm a working man. Work every single day. But I apologize to you, Dean Keeper Clean and JC24. Reason why? Can't argue with that $750,000 incentive. You can't argue with the nine and a half sex, which is a career high. You cannot argue with the career high quarterback pressure rate. Can't argue with it. Never been so happy to be wrong. So he continued and said, can't argue with his production this season and overall contribution to our squad and polarizing defense. I've never been so happy to be wrong. So again, I apologize to you, Dean Keeper Clean and to Jadavian Clowney. Proud of the work he's done and to call him a Baltimore Raven. Now as for the team, let's rest our body, stay focused on the task at hand, make it to February one game at a time. I hope nothing but blessings continue to fall in line for you. Shout out to the greatest NFL outsider. Appreciate you tonight. All right, next questions came from my guy, Martin, who's been a patron for a long time. Now I appreciate you, man, for about two years almost. So thank you. He said, not gonna lie, Richard Sherman's take on Lamar Jackson got me heated. I wanted to say things about his career, but I refrain from doing that. But I mean, he had a good career though. Super Bowl champion played in three Super Bowls with two different teams, two with the Seahawks, one with the 49ers. And he did this, like he had a good career. So I don't think we can even talk bad about his career, but you said you wouldn't anyway. So that's cool. Anyway, he said it, but what I will say is despite what he says, he's a hater. He said, you can tell the day after Ravens beat the 49ers, he was visibly mad and refused to admit Lamar won the MVP with that game. His numbers don't match, he says, but doesn't look at why his numbers don't line up. He has as many total yards as any other quarterback. And the reason his touchdowns are so low is they are because Lamar gets the team down to the five and they just hand the ball off to Gussie. I've been appreciating that about the Ravens this year. They ain't been doing the funny business. They ain't been getting cute. They ain't been getting all pretty. Once they get down to the goal line, they ain't been getting all fancy. Oh, let's do this. No, they been straight up. Hey, Guss Edwards here. Take it, boom, get the touchdown. Like they've been so straightforward and I appreciate that so much because in years past, we will see them get down there and they get all cute. They get all fancy and what, but this year, no. So good point. He said Ravens rushing touchdowns from running backs are 20. If you gave Lamar half of those, he'd be at almost 40 touchdowns example. During the Niners game, Lamar rushed all the way to the one yard line but then the next player said to let Lamar get the touchdown. They just handed ball off to Guss, which in my opinion is what you want to do. Anyways, to avoid Lamar getting needlessly injured just to stat pad. But it's like you say, and I agree with the numbers, don't tell the whole story with Lamar. That touchdown that Guss Edwards got doesn't tell the whole story of how Lamar got the team in position to score that touchdown like he has all season. The first game of the season go back and look at the game. If you just look at the numbers, you think Lamar had a terrible game but he literally moved the ball at will on them running backs just, the running backs just got all the touchdown. So yeah, that's important. It's very important to, and I ain't gonna sit up here, oh, hey, you need to watch film and da, da, da, da. But watch the games. Cause when you watch, and this is not just with Lamar Jackson, this is really with anybody. Cause we could talk about numbers all day and all night. We could look at the stats all day and all night, but they just, they don't tell the whole story when it comes to anybody, but especially with Lamar Jackson stats, they don't tell everything. You really got to watch to truly appreciate how great of a player he is and what he's been. And he said, continuing, he said also look at the bills versus the Patriots. Josh Allen had a terrible game. He scored two rushing touchdowns from the one yard line. If you just looked at the box score, you would think that he did okay or good. And another reason I say Sherman is a hater, despite what he says is because Skip asked Sherman, if Lamar five touchdown three in completion game against the number two seed and the AFC was enough to move him, he immediately responded with no, not even any hesitation. He didn't have to think about it. That tells me no matter what Lamar does in Sherman's mind, it isn't going to be good enough. And that's what makes him a hater. The fact that no matter what Lamar does, doesn't move the needle, makes him a hater. I'm sorry for the rant, Lamar deserves MVP. Haters go back and watch the games, you'll be proven wrong enough. Solid said rant over. Yeah, just watch. That's it, just watch. But yeah, that's something that we said back in 2018. So same thing that you just said just now that no matter what Lamar Jackson does for some people, it will never, ever, ever, ever be good enough. And with Martin Meeks continuing, he said, I got a lot of stuff to say in these upcoming weeks, but I don't want to jinx any things. So I'll hold off on the things I want to say about the Ravens. Just wanted to say thank you. Your video came at just the right time. Had to put my dog down, who has been with us for 15 years. Oh, I'll be 30th on the 26th. So he's been with me with what feels like my whole life. He was more than a pet. He was family. Your video helped take my mind away for a little bit. Also wanted to say your channel has really helped change my opinion about other Ravens fan. Well, first, before you get into the Ravens fan part, sorry about your dog, man. Cause I know, yeah, we're having a dog. Yeah, you, you are right. They are a thousand percent not like they are family because the dogs they dare when you get home, they dare to greet you. And I remember seeing something on social media a long time ago where it said that the only thing that a dog cares more about than themselves is their owner or their family. So that was real right there because, and then when with a dog, you see that, you see that how they treat you. How they just, they just looking up at you. They just waiting to play with you, waiting for you to feed and waiting for you to walk with them, to do all that stuff. So yeah, that just, that makes a, it made a really good point. So I'm sorry about your dog, man. I know that that's really, really tough, man, but I appreciate you sharing that with us, man. So appreciate it. Big shout out to you, Morton. He also said, the videos helped change my opinions about other Ravens fans. I used to think we had the worst fan base because of how our own fans would disrespect our players like Flacco. I understand we're thinking we needed a new quarterback, but I just didn't like the disrespect. I remember in 2017, I went to my only Ravens game against the Lions. We whooped them, and after the game, I went to get an autograph from any player I could as they went to the player's parking lot. Well, there was any fans there shouting disrespect towards certain players like Michael Campanero. Yeah, you're getting cut this off season and I can't wait, just because he didn't stop to sign. Yeah, I hate stuff like that. And then like, I think, I've heard a lot of Ravens fans say, oh, I feel like Ravens fans are the worst, but any fan base, let's say that, because unfortunately in any fan base, there are those fans who just are disrespectful or rude or arrogant or cocky, can be very, very nasty and just terrible to people because a lot of fans, they get entitled. They feel like, hey, I'm paying the good money for these tickets or this jersey or this memorabilia, whatever it might be. You need to, whether you need to sign something or you need to take this picture, you need to play better. Oh, my fantasy team, we lost because of you and then it's just like, nah. But unfortunately, there's that toxicity in any fan base. That's why I really felt like it's important. And I've had my share of just not being respectful to players. I remember years ago, years, years and I learned my lesson. So that's why we definitely stopped doing it, but I just used to get on Kenneth Dixon big time, man. I really did over and over and over. Man, I just used to call him injury prone and say this and that and just sit. But, and again, it always stuck with me how he responded because he had hit me up on Twitter, sent me a DM and say, hey, I watch all the videos that you talked about me. I watch all of them, but then he talked, but we had a little conversation in there and he didn't get disrespectful, didn't lash out at me, nothing. And I'm like, man. Like I made so many videos talking bad about this guy, saying this, that and a third. And his response to me was with nothing but respect. And I was just like, that right there like really changed my whole mindset on that. And I'm like, man, like these guys, that's always say like these players, they're people too. They're not just players and not robots. They're the people, they're their fathers, their brothers, their uncles, their cousins, their sons, their friends, their family, all of that stuff, man. So it's important to watch how we speak about them. And that's why I never like hearing people saying, I don't say, but oh, this guy sucks. He's terrible. Oh man, he's the worst. No, these guys NFL players, man. They got a bad game, they got a bad game. They had an off game, they got an off game, okay. That don't mean they suck, they terrible. No, no. So yeah, I appreciate you bringing that up. And he also said, along with issuing death threats to players like Lee Evans and Billy Cundiff that really soured my pain of other fans. But after years of reading comments on this channel and countless videos, I see that they are more positive Ravens fans than bad ones. The bad ones are really just loud and obnoxious. But I want to thank Team Keefer Clean, y'all are amazing people, really. Oh wow, that's special, man. That's really, really special. And that is, again, that was very important for me just with this channel with questions from subscribers with just everything. This is how we operate on here. It's very important for me to just to try to show the good because things could be very frustrating. We can all get very, very frustrated at these Baltimore Ravens and just football in general because we want things to go a certain way. We want things to be a certain way. We want the team to have a certain level of success and this and that and the third. But when they don't, it can be frustrating. But I think it's important even when we're frustrated even when things are going rough to still maintain a level of respect at the beginning and end of the day. Lamar Jackson, Hall of Fame. Next question came from my guy, Jay. He said, my God, bless him to you, your wife, and call it for the impending birth of your next child. I appreciate that, man. I'm very happy for your family and I'm hoping to have the same news this year. Oh, okay, man. You know what you gotta do. Anyway, you said happy new year to you and the rest of Team Keefer Clean family. With all of that being said, is Lamar already on his way to Canton? Three games with a perfect pass rating. Now, with 70% win rate, two Pro Bowls, two soon to be MVPs, one all-pro, soon to be two, numerous NFL records and two division titles. Lamar has been a one-of-one in his short career, but when you lay all of that out, all his accomplishments, is he already worthy of the Hall of Fame? A Lombardi and a Super Bowl MVP would make it a slam dunk, but I think he's already punched his ticket. What do you think? Now, you know what's funny? Before, somebody asked that question. Oh, do you think Lamar Jackson is in the Hall of Fame? And I was like, no, no, no, not yet. No, you gotta retire first, but then when I was talking to my guy Quincy, shout out to Quincy Carrier, who does the best Browns YouTube channel that there ever has been. Shout out to my guy Quincy, but he was talking about it. We were talking offline and he was like, yeah. He said Lamar is already in the Hall of Fame because if you get two MVPs, like he talked about it. Everybody, every quarter player, excuse me, that has two MVPs, at least two MVPs, they all in the Hall of Fame. And if they're not there yet, they will be there. Like Tom Brady, he'll obviously be there. But Aaron Rodgers, he will obviously be there. He ain't retired yet, but he'll be there. But Peyton Manning, now I'm trying to blink for all those guys who got both. Steve Young, I think he was on that list, but everybody who was on that list, all of them all in the Hall of Fame. So I was like, oh, whoa, that is something. And Lamar, one of those MVPs is unanimous. I don't think this MVP, if he gets it, I don't think it'll be unanimous, but it will still be the MVP nonetheless. So, and you talked about the perfect passer rating games and whatnot, and just, he's amazing, man. So yeah, I do think that he really could be well on his way to the Hall of Fame for real, man. Now, it's gonna take some more, but I mean, really, obviously, I mean, he's still gonna keep playing so he can just continue to add to everything. And the win percentage is what you talked about. That's big too. It really is, man. So Lamar been doing some crazy stuff, and we joke about it, but it's like with Lamar, it seemed like every other game that Lamar Jackson is playing in, he's breaking another record, every other game. And then you think about too, like man, his career could have been even better, but he missed the end of 2022 and missed the end of 2021. Had he not missed those, then ooh, man. Who knows, man? Next question came from my guy, Ace, he said, ain't great when I wanted to congratulate you and your wife on your upcoming arrival of a new Ravens fan. Yeah, as long as we stood him in the right direction. Cause you know, Carter, Carter be saying that he likes the Dolphins, and I mean, you get it. You hear Miami and whatnot, and, but he loves Lamar Jackson. Every time you see Lamar Jackson on TV, he's like, oh yeah, yeah, I know him. That's my friend. Oh yeah, it is, man. He knows you too. But, yeah, I gotta have some conversations with Carter, but with our future child, we wanna try to stand him in the right direction from John, but I appreciate you. Oh, excuse me, hey, he's my boy, starting on it. He said, my wife and I are expecting our fourth child at the end of March. Oh my goodness, oh, y'all ain't playing. So what congrats to you? Oh yeah, yeah, you ain't messing around. So hey, good stuff, man. Good stuff, man. He said, although I don't communicate with you regularly, I do watch a channel every day, and I appreciate the work that you do. Nah, you're good, man. I see you in the comments of every single live stream. So I appreciate you, man. Thank you. And you've been around for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. So I appreciate you sticking it out with us, man. He said, I have a question about the Raven strategy for rest of their starters in this past week, 18, and still maintaining their sharpness for the divisional game. What changes? Do they need to make from their approach in 2019? I would just say their mindset. Again, we weren't there in the locker room with them. So we don't know how their mindset was, but just remaining focused and just really knowing the task at hand. I think 2019 would help with that, with their approach to this year, with resting the starters and them having that extra, extra time off. I think that their focus should be a lot sharper. The presence that they have in the locker room, it's a lot more because in 2019, Lamar Super Young, that's his first year starting, his first four years starting, but you had Mark Ingram, nice locker room leader. You had, who else? Kalleus, no, Kalleus Cameron wasn't there in 2019. Who else did you have besides Mark Ingram? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Mark is paid to say, well, he has a hot head for it. And hey, my hot heads with ballers now, but now, like, and I'm sure I'm missing some people too. I mean, Marlon Humphrey was there. He was a lot younger than he is now. But, and I don't think he was the like leader, leader. He probably like a semi-leader, but now like guys are more mature. You got a Roe Kwan Smith. You got a completely different Lamar Jackson. You got Odell Beckham Jr. You got Nelson Aguilore. You got a different Marlon Humphrey. You got a Judevian, you got Calvanoa. You got a lot of guys with a lot of experience in a lot of different places. You got a lot of different Super Bowl champions on the team. You have guys that have been there and done that and have just, the experience is big. Just having that knowledge there and having that leadership there. When you watched different clips from Wyatt and stuff, you could just hear the maturity and different guys, how guys are willing to do whatever for each other and not just themselves. And not that they were doing that in 2019, not that they weren't doing that in 2019. But I remember Patrick Queen, there was a play, I forgot what team it was against, where Matt Abike got a sack, but people were like, oh man, Patrick Queen, he had a sack. What were you doing on this play, Patrick Queen? Cause the gap opened up. Patrick Queen shot right through it, but he ended up going away from the quarterback and people were like, what are you doing? But Patrick Queen said, no, that was the play design because I was trying to get Matt Abike a sack. So I'm like, oh, then I remember there was a clip of Jadeven and Clowney was, oh, it was something that he was talking about with somebody else. But it's just really guys just looking out for one another. So I just, you see that so much with this Baltimore Ravens team this year. And they got everything that they need to make it happen. They really do. But they are so much more mature than that team was back then. And they have been laser focused. So I just think just remaining focused, staying focused, just not feeling like you, the big shot remaining, having that underdog mentality and whatnot that they continue to have and that they don't want, they want people to pick against them. They don't want to be looked at as a top dog, even though you are the top dog. But just knowing that what you've done already, it's not good enough. And you still got a little bit ways to go. I can't say a long ways, but I mean, it is a long way. You got three more games, three more games, the Viginal, AFC Championship, Super Bowl. And the goal is not to get to a Super Bowl, is to win one.
