You send it directly on there. But anyway, I love y'all. We got a lot of questions to get into. Some really great questions to get into. Well, it has been, since free agency has been so great. I've been wanting to do questions from subs for a really long time, but free agency just been so busy, ain't been able to do it. But now we finally about to run it. So let's get into the first question on this episode, the title question that might have called a little, a little bit of people off guard. But some people like, Hey, we think it's happening. It came from my boy, Kevin B. He said, Hey fam, I hope all is well. I keep hearing about LJ, not even thinking about signing right now because he wants to go play back home. He and Hollywood Brown want to get Miami back on the map and also his mom don't want to be in Baltimore because of too much crime. From the looks of things, Miami looks like they're setting it up. Maybe it's just a rumor. I don't know if I, if so, I say, do the best thing for both sides. Teams change their mind and players can too. I just want both sides to come to an agreement without it getting ugly. Peace and blessings to you and everyone out there. Ooh, we starting off good tonight. So rumors about Lamar Jackson, possibly to the Miami Dolphins. Why are people even on that? Why are people thinking that? Well, it's two things, two reasons in my opinion. Well, it's probably more than two reasons, but two of the main reasons are because you look at everything that Miami Dolphins are doing and you look at everything that the Ravens are not doing. That's it. That's it. And the reason I think it's just so simple like that is because you think, like in my opinion, and again, this is my opinion, could be right, could be wrong, could be neither, could be in the middle, could be neutral. But in my opinion, Lamar Jackson, I keep saying, I don't think he's signing a deal this off season. I don't see it happening. Don't think it's going to happen. And I don't even blame him if it doesn't happen. But I think he's not signing a deal because he really wants to see what these Ravens can do. Real quick, some twisted logic that I keep hearing, some twisted logic that I keep hearing from a lot of Ravens fans. Why, how come if Lamar Jackson really wants to help the team, how come he doesn't sign a deal? Why won't he sign an extension because that'll free up a significant amount of cap room? If he really wants to help the team, why won't he do that? Hey, guess what? That would free up a lot of cap room. So a lot of Ravens fans thinking with that part, 1,000% right. It would definitely free up like 10 to 12 mil in cap space. And you know, you can do a lot with that, even though the cap is cap, but you can still do a lot with that. But why would he sign a long-term deal with a team who's had plenty of opportunities to really go in on him for the past four years? Four years. Lamar's not a rookie. Lamar's not even in his second year. Lamar's not even in his third. He's in his fifth year. This is his fifth year. The Ravens have had timing up. And then get this. Get this. Is Tua better than Lamar Jackson? Well, if you look at what the Dolphins are doing right, and think about this too, oh my God. Think about this. The Dolphins, they were all in on the Shawn Watson. They wanted the Shawn Watson. Obviously things changed, but they really wanted the Shawn Watson so bad. It obviously didn't happen. What'd they do for that quarterback? They said, oh, you know what? Here you go. One of the best receivers in the game. Jalen Waddle, who was a rookie last year. Oh, he went off last year. You know what? We're still gonna give you one of the best receivers in the game on top of that. You still got Devontae Parker for now, even though things could change. We'll bring back Preston Williams. He's straight. We'll franchise tag Mike Gasicki. So he ain't going nowhere. There you go. You look at Colin Murray. Colin, what was it? His second year? Well, he got the under? Or was it his third year? Either way, they go out and get the, who was the guy who was the best receiver in the game for him. They go out and get him for Colin Murray. Is Colin Murray the better than Lamar Jackson? It's up to you. But Colin Murray was provided for big time. And they went out and got what? AJ Green, and I know AJ Green wasn't saying AJ Green, but you still got DeAndre Hopkins who was the best receiver in the league at that time. And you got AJ Green. And then you got Kirk, and you got, they drafted, well, who, Rondell, they still, they provided from off season. They provided in via trade. They provided via the draft. They provided via free agency. They provided in every single quality too. They really went in. You look at Baker Mayfield. Is Lamar Jackson better than Baker Mayfield? I'll let you decide. You know Browns, like Browns, they do it every year. Browns, they went in for Baker May, like everywhere. Like they, first they gave them like crazy weapons and offensive line was, ugh. But then they were like, you know what? All right, we've been giving you crazy weapons and you still got crazy weapons. Let's upgrade this offensive line. So they went crazy with the offensive line. And offensive line was one of the best in the league. Went crazy with it. They went all in for Baker Mayfield. You look at Josh Allen. You look at Josh Allen. Stephon Diggs. Drafted Gabe Davis, okay cool. Signed Cole Beasley. Quality free agent, quality slot guy. But again, traded for Stephon Diggs. Then had Stephon Diggs, had Gabe Davis, had Cole Beasley. Still went out and got Emmanuel Sanders. Signed into it when you did, okay. Emmanuel Sanders, it worked out, but it ain't go all that. So they moved on. They went and got, oh, what's the receiver's name? Who used to play for Washington? Who used to play for the Jameson Crowder? They went out and signed him. Josh Allen, it's like, come on now, man. So this is why I say so much of the reason why a lot of people think that Lamar is headed to Miami is because you see what all these other teams are doing for their quarterbacks and you see what the Ravens are not and have not done for Lamar. Now, we talk about real quick. Give me one second because I got to scroll up because I see, oh, shout out to my God Malik season. I appreciate that. He said dinner on me. Hashtag free crochet, hashtag fire Roman. And forget those picks. Forget those picks. Yes, we would love to forget those picks. Not all of them, but it's okay. You look at, look at the Rams. Cause I thank you Tyreece for bringing up Alan Robinson. Look at the Rams. Rams had a Cooper cup already. They had a Van Jefferson, he's straight. They had a Cooper cup. They had Robin Woods, but he was out. But they had who? Higbee. They had another tight end too. I forgot who the other tight end was. But the Rams are like, man, we got Cooper cup. Cooper cup been going off. We have, we've been winning. We've been having success. But you know, oh, Odell Beckham Jr. is available. You know what? The more the merrier, bring them on. Why not? And they, oh, oh, oh, Von Miller's. They, they trying to trade Von Miller. Oh, you, we got Aaron Donald. He's nice. We got a Floyd. We got our defense now. We got Jalen Ramsey, of course. We got Darius Williams. Oh yeah. We got tap. Yeah. We got some nice, nice little secondary. Oh, Von Miller's available. No, let's, let's make our team even better. Let's really go all in for our team. And they did that. So again, to me, I think it's about what so many teams are doing and what the Ravens aren't doing. That's it. And of course, I know with Lamar being from down here, that, that don't help anything. And he's, he brought up Hollywood too. And Hollywood being from down here too, that don't help anything, but more so with Lamar. Like it doesn't help. It doesn't help. And then another thing too, how, how all in are they with tour? How tied to tour are the Miami Dolphins? Reason I say that? Because again, we know, and yeah, it was under Brian Flores, but still, are the dolphins really in like that with tour? Well, now they're not giving him any excuses, but at the same time, say for instance, all right, tour goes out this year, he does all right, but another quarterback who you really like comes available. You think that Miami Dolphins won't, you think they're gonna hesitate to go after that quarterback who can really make them something serious if tour can't do it this year? And think about this. One of my guy time to fly, he brought this up like 20 minutes ago on Twitter, he hit me up. And he said, and remember, even after that Tyreek Hill trade, guess how many first round picks the dolphins got in 2023? They still got, I think they still got two of them. And you know, with a transition tag, you got to give up like two first round picks for enough of them. So again, and another reason, you know, Ravens, they love draft picks. And the way that the Ravens have been moving, it doesn't really even seem like the Ravens like really even believe in Lamar Jackson like that as a quarterback. As an athlete, yeah, as an athlete, yeah. But as a quarterback, it really doesn't, from the way that the Ravens have been moving, it does not seem like they believe in him as a quarterback. It doesn't. And it's sad to see, man. And I know they're gonna be people that are like, oh, whoa, whoa. The Ravens, they drafted the most wide receivers in the league over the past couple of years because they drafted Hollywood and Boykin. They drafted Rashard Bateman, Tyler Wallace, they drafted Duvenay and Pro Shae. Ravens drafted the most wide receivers in the league over the past couple of years. And if it's not the most, then it's up there somewhere. Hollywood and Bateman, I'll give you that. I'll give you that all day. Oh yeah. But the rest, the rest, you drafted guys that are just, they seem to just be fillers. You drafted a lot of slot guys. And you drafted guys that you don't even use. They just, they're just there. You don't even have them on the field half the time. You don't even have them active on game. They have the time, man. So when people talk all that talk, man, they talk all that, oh, well, hey Ravens, they've been going in for receivers for the more year after year. I wanna hear none of that, man. I wanna hear none of that. None of it. Because with the Ravens, they will, they've been doing quantity over quality. Over quality. And that is not a shot at any of the Ravens receivers at all. You already know it ain't no shot at them at all. But could the Ravens have done better? Could the Ravens have like really done significantly better? And not even just draft, but really going after it like that, man. Oh, why don't you talk, speak on it, man. Why don't you say, I don't like how they did Flacco. How Matt Ryan get treated better than him but Joe Flacco did way more than Matt Ryan and they were drafted the same year. Even with that, like this is not just a Lamar Jackson. Ravens been on this. They've been on this not providing quality weapons consistently for that quarter. They've been on this, this is not new news, this old news. They've been on this, man. Been on this. So again, when people say, oh, well, the Ravens, they drafted all these receivers. Yeah, okay. They technically did. They drafted receivers in quantity. But anyway, and then you see like the Ravens, they've had a lot of opportunities. And then when you were free agents, they gave Lamar Jackson over the course of his career. Yeah, Chris has been a minister since we did a live stream. Appreciate you coming through, man. Over the course of Lamar Jackson's career, free agent receivers Ravens have picked up. They signed, appreciate that, Carlo said, this is us. It is, baby. They signed Willie Snead. Willie Snead, he was straight. He signed Willie Snead, he was straight. They signed, and they signed him off of a restricted free agent tender from the Saints. But anyway, he signed Willie Snead, he was straight. He signed Sammy Watkins, off injured Sammy Watkins. He can catch, he can catch, man. But a lot of times he's not even out there to play in the games because he's always hurt. And that stayed the same this year. He was hurt. He started off the season straight, but then after he got hurt and was out for a while, it was pretty much like he was out for the rest of the season. They signed a receiver who hadn't played in the league. And what was it? Four years? And there's Bryant in the middle of the season. And people really try to tell me, and people really try to say, oh man, the Ravens, they really, man, the Ravens been providing weapons for Lamar Jackson. Don't run that, man. Don't try to run that, because they really haven't. If we being honest, it's been quantity over quality. If we gonna be honest and be straight up with it, man. And then you have a lot of people say, because I just got reminded by my guy Ray. My guy Ray says, signed JC Treader with this G-Roll offense. That's been another thing too, because a lot of Ravens fans have this content mindset when it comes to their, to getting quality weapons for Lamar. Appreciate that one year. You said, Joe Flacco, Best Buy Receiver was Tori and Anquan, but they took that all the way from him after he won a Super Bowl. And wonder why he did bad until he got Steve. Well, Flacco never changed. He was always the same quarterback to me. He was always the same quarterback. He never changed. Nothing about Flacco ever changed before Bowden, after Bowden, before Tori, after Tori. Nothing changed with Flacco. He was always the same type of guy. Put up the same type of numbers. Everything was pretty much. Look at Joe Flacco. You knew what you were getting in the regular season, but then you knew what you're getting in the post-seasonal too. So anyway, oh, but my guy Ray, he was saying that the Ravens, they should sign JC Treader. And a lot of people agree with that. And I agree, but the Ravens, a lot of Ravens fans have had this content mindset where they're like, hey, you remember what Lamar Jackson did with a great offensive line back in 2019? He'll be fine with the weapons that we got. Now, we do remember what he did in 2019. It was amazing season, amazing season. But I just don't get how people, yes, we know what he's capable of with a good offensive line. We get that and appreciate that, yes. But why should it stop there? Why should you just stop at a quality offensive line and be like, all right, more quality weapons? No, man, we got enough, baby. We got plenty. We don't need any more, man. Why would you stop there? So many Ravens fans, so many Ravens fans just feel like, oh, all right, we should stop there. Whenever a top receiver comes available, we hear about a top receiver coming available. We hear about a team being willing to listen to trade offers. Y'all know me. We all over everybody. If there's a top receiver that's like that, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, bring them on. But then there's so many Ravens fans. No, that guy's not worth it. Oh, no, you would have to pay that guy top wide receiving money. Oh, no, no, Ravens can't afford that. Oh, no, no, Ravens don't need him. He's not gonna be worth it anyway. What, man? I just, I can't get with that, man. I can't get with that, man. And that's, I know, man. Especially when you see how the AFC is acting up right now. They going crazy, man. The AFC, they are going crazy, crazy. Anyway, I appreciate that, Jesse. How would you feel about George Pickens? Oh, man, I just heard about him yesterday, man. I just heard a lot about him yesterday. He's nasty, man. Like a good kind of nasty. Like the Marcus Peters at Y Receiver. So I wouldn't be mad at that at all, man. Wouldn't be mad at that at all. Oh, yeah, yes, Seth Roberts. I forgot about him. Forgot about Seth Roberts. Shout out to Seth Roberts, man. Who else? Ravens haven't invested in them all like the Cowboys, Browns, Cardinals and Bills did for their young quarterback. So why should he invest in them? Boom, that's it. Boom. And I just said, come on now, you were right up there on your videos, throwing up the X. I sure was because that was the last hope. That was the last hope. And it's sad that that was the last hope because that's how Ravens operate. You know, you already know how they get down when it comes to bringing quality weapons in for their quarterbacks. Come on now. Yeah, I sure was. Oh, the Anthony Thomas, I forgot about him. Forgot all about him. So with this whole little rumor about Lamar possibly going to Miami, I can see why a lot of people, they are taking this here. Like I've seen a lot of people keep saying this, man. Like a lot of people, man. A lot of people where they feel like, oh, I guess a real possibility. And anything's possible until it ain't possible no more. Think about this, man. You think. Say for instance, it gets to franchise tag, it gets to that little, that, because that can get real ugly. If Lamar Jackson somehow some way, if he got placed on a franchise tag, you think the dolphins wouldn't be like, they wouldn't be like, all right, to a A. We love you, but bye. You think the dolphins wouldn't come up off a tour for them? They would in a heartbeat. And less than a heartbeat. They will come up, come up off a tour so fast for them. Oh man, you know they would. You know they would. And they'd be like, oh, franchise tag? No, bring them on. We give them a contract right away. Quick, you know they would, man. But anyway, again, hopefully it doesn't happen. But again, anything possible until it ain't possible no more. Lamar has not signed an extension yet. He's playing on a fifth year, a 23-mil option right now for this upcoming season. Playing on an option. So we're gonna see. Again, I do not think he's signing. One of my guys, he hit me up the other day. He was like, oh man, I think that Lamar Jackson, he's gonna make an announcement. Because of course, everybody seen his story yesterday where he was like, oh, business casual. People saw him with a suitcase and they saw him put business casual and they went crazy. They went crazy. They're like, oh, is he meeting with EDC? But one of my guys hit me up and he was like, oh, with Lamar Jackson. I think that he's gonna announce that he signed a contract extension with the Ravens at his birthday bash on April 2nd. I think it's April 2nd, whenever it is. And I said, okay, well, you keep waiting for that announcement. I don't see it happening, but you keep on waiting for that announcement. Because I just don't think that's going down. Miami would have already jumped on Lamar if this was factual. What? What are you talking about? He's... Anyway, I don't see that happening. I don't see that happening. They gave Harbaugh the real fraud and extension before Lamar, I'm sick. Now with that, I know, shout out to my guys, Lunch Break Hot Take, because they've been bringing this up too. We haven't seen it like anything official when it's come to now. Now remind me if, because I could be wrong on this. When, remember in 2018, when it was looking like Harbaugh was about to be fired, Lamar came in, we know the story, blah, blah, blah. He got a four year extension back then. Was it like officially announced from the Ravens, like any of their social media, anything? Was it like officially announced that Harbaugh signed a four year extension? I think it was, but I don't remember. Do y'all remember? Do y'all remember at all? Because I don't remember. But we haven't heard anything. The last we heard about a Harbaugh contract extension was from Jameson Hensley in EDC's Season Ending Pressor. That's the last we heard of that. That was it. We ain't heard nothing since then. So, I mean, I don't know, just something to think about. I don't know, man. We'll see. Anyway, let's get to some more of these questions. Cause you know, we can stay on that one all day. Next question came from a patron, my guy Oscar L. He said, hey, my guy had one quick question. What do you think happens with Baker Mayfield now with Matt Ryan going to the Colts? Will we, oh my goodness. He said, will we need to call him back up Mayfield now and only see him in commercials? Oh, the pettiness, the pettiness. And he put, oh, LOL, just kidding. I know you're not kidding. I know you're not kidding. I know you're not kidding. Anyway, he said, just kidding. But what happens to him now in your opinion? I appreciate you stay safe and hashtag team keep it clean. Appreciate that. Oh, with Baker. Oh man. I don't even know. Like, where does Baker go to the Seahawks? I appreciate that, Loni. I think it was actually Baker. That report came out yesterday that both Baker and the Seahawks were not interested in each other. So where does he go? Not to the Falcons. They just signed Marcus Mariota. I don't even know, man. Imagine Baker Mayfield being a backup. Will he get the Mr. Biskey treatment? To where you go from being a first round pick and then all of a sudden, that's it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Nitro, we got to talk about that a little bit. Appreciate that. Like, what's up with that, man? Like, what is that? I don't know, man. I don't know what's gonna happen with Baker, man. Oh, yeah, Alex. He said that would be hilarious if Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. come back. Gary, what's up, man? Turning old retirement pay. Oh, come on, man. Get out of here with that, man. But imagine that like Baker Mayfield. Where is he gonna go? And there was a report that said, oh, the Browns are looking for like a premium pick, a first round pick for Baker Mayfield. Nobody's giving you a first round pick for Baker Mayfield. Nobody's giving that, especially like everybody knows. Worst case scenario for the Browns. Appreciate that, Henry. EDC pulled this off with the Brown trade. AFC wide open there. He pulled what off? What you talking about? But, oh, Texans apparently said that they going all in on Davis Meals. So I mean, we'll see what happened with that. But I don't know, man. Like what does he do? But nobody's giving you a premium pick for no Baker Mayfield because you just traded for, you gave up all them picks and signed to Sean Watson to that crazy, fully guaranteed deal. They know that you ain't keeping Baker Mayfield. So why would they give you anything over a fourth? Why would they do that? Well, only because they would have to keep him away from going to somebody else if they really wanted him. But I don't know. I don't really see him, I don't see him doing anything, man. I don't see him getting traded for. I think they're gonna end up cutting him. Oh, Tampa, well, yeah. But yeah, that's backup situation. So it really is looking like Baker may be a backup for real, man. That's crazy. That's crazy. Oh, born there, said EDC been invested in Lamar. All those wire receivers drafted for him the last couple of years. You're gonna have to go back and re-watch to what we was talking about earlier, man. I disagree. He technically did draft all those, but we just went over that. Sorry if you got here late, but we went over that a while back, but it's all good, man. Anyway, next question came from another patron, my guy, Brandon M. He said, A. and Graven, I understand that you can't have too many weapons, but this doesn't exactly apply to us in my opinion. We already have weapons. We just don't use them properly. I see people in comment sections begging for guys like Orlando, I mean not Orlando Brown Jr., Odell Beckham Jr., and Julio Jones, but I feel that would complicate our offense that much more. I think we will be much better off if we just gave guys like Tyler Wallace and James Frosier real opportunities. What are your thoughts? This is what I'm talking about, man. This is what I'm talking about how, and it ain't nothing against my guy Brandon, but I just feel like the Ravens front office over the year, the way that they've operated for the longest, it just seems like fans, they don't ever wanna upgrade anything. They don't wanna, well, at least on offense, they don't wanna make serious upgrades to the offense, even when opportunities are there. So I disagree. I disagree with that. I feel, if you got an opportunity to get significantly better, especially at Y Receiver, do it, do it, do it. Ravens are not going to be invested in those guys anyway. They've proven that over the years. The James Frosier, what, a fifth or sixth round pick, Devin Dover, they a third round pick, Volkino's a third round pick, Tyler Wallace a fourth round pick, they're not gonna be invested in those guys, man. They not. They don't invest in those Y Receivers like that. You ain't no first round pick, they not investing in you. They not. So I just, mm-mm, no. So I disagree. Next question came from my guy, Gary. He said, I completely agree with you regarding Pat Ricard. Well, my thoughts on Pat Ricard, I ain't have a problem with the signing, but I'm just concerned about the offense moving forward. I'm just concerned about how they use him and how they don't use and continue not to use other guys moving forward. He said, regarding Lamar Jackson, Hawbaugh is at least a little bit on the bowl, Shembeckler coaching tree. That tree is good if you wanna go 10 and one or nine and two every year. But if you want to win Rose Bowl, it's not so much. God, man. I think Lamar realizes this and does not wanna commit to the Ravens long term unless the culture changes. I agree. So basically what he's saying, like Hawbaugh not a bad coach, but he's a coach that's gonna get you some wins, but when it's crunch time, oh no, then that all goes out the window. So yeah, the Ravens, they definitely got some adjustments to make. Appreciate that, Henry. Appreciate that donation. He said, when we gave up Brown, Orlando Brown, Jr., it strapped the Chiefs. They have to pay him and gave up draft capital. Did it really strapped him? I don't think so. But Tyreek Hill just like, you know what? No, I'm straight. I mean, he was getting paid already and he wanna get paid more. He wanted to be paid even more, but I guess the Chiefs was like, no, we ain't doing it. You can find somebody else to do it. He said, okay, send me home. Send me to Miami. Okay, bye. Good job, Miami. Next question came from my guy, Phil. He said, and shout out to Phil for being a patron as well. He said, now there's a Darius Smith backed out of his deal and he went to the Vikings. I believe Eric Dacosta should make a move. I believe Eric Dacosta should make a move and offer Bobby Wagner at least a three year deal to fill a hole at middle linebacker. Bobby Wagner is visiting with the Rams right now. That means Bobby Wagner is going to be signing with the Rams right now. So Bobby Wagner to the Ravens. Oh man, I'm over here knocking myself out knocking my glasses off. That's a pipe dream that's long gone ain't happening. It is not happening. Bobby Wagner is not coming to the Ravens. I would have loved it. I felt like it was a perfect scenario. It was like a layup. Like this dude got cut before free agency. He didn't count against those little compics. He's a linebacker. Raven's been struggling at linebacker for a while to keep making these phone calls to Josh Vines. Like, come back, come back, come back. And Josh Vines been cool. But you got a chance to upgrade. Like we've been talking about, why not take it? Why not take it? But no, he gonna be a ram probably tomorrow at the latest by Friday, but probably tomorrow. So yeah, man, DC guitar, you a fool for that man. Anyway, he said, if he's going to wait till the draft in office center, Jayce, he tried it in the office to fill another hole on the roster. I agree. I know we have Cologne Castillo for one more year, but he could get out of nowhere. But he could get out of nowhere. I don't understand that part. Last but not least, last year, Oliver barely did anything as our third string tight end. So would you agree that EDC should consider making a one year proven deal to a tight end, OJ Howard? I think he signed, did he sign with the bills? What did OJ Howard sign? Appreciate that, Mike. It don't matter who we get. Lamar is going to look for Hollywood or Andrews. Every dropback is my biggest pet. Even with Lamar, he's going to feed his best friend. Yeah, Lamar got to tighten up with that too. He got to tighten up with that for sure. He got to spread that ball around for sure. He got to build up chemistry with those other guys for sure. You spot on with that. Spot on, spot. The quarterback in Atlanta is, what's up FlexZone? Quarterback in Atlanta is Marcus Mariota. So that's that. Okay, he did sign with the bills. Okay, appreciate that. But yeah, so OJ Howard, he's out too, man. That would have been a nice one. Now, Josh Oliver, he was just, he wasn't bad. He wasn't good. He was just like there occasionally. What do you have like four catches maybe? He had a drop. I remember he had a fumble, but he just, he didn't really get any passes throwing his way like that. Not consistently. I mean, you had Mark Andrews out there doing his thing. But yeah, so Josh Oliver was just on the roster, but he wasn't, he ain't really doing anything, man. And he said, we could go back, we could have went back to that three tight end sets and from 2019, like we did with Hayden Hearst. Byron said, you should change the title to get it off your chessboard too. Oh man, yeah. I mean, might as well, man. He said, would you agree? Like any of those three ideas, they would have been nice, but now none of them are happy. Well, JC Treader could still happen, but the other two can't happen. Oh, and boom. And this was before Robert Woods got trade, but he said, I forgot to mention there's room with that the Rams may be willing to trade. Robert Woods, now that Alan Robinson was signed. So we know how that went. So anyway, next question came from my guy, Martin and Martin be going off, man. Martin be going off, man. Excuse me. I'm typing this just as I finish your, and he's a patron too, by the way, appreciate you being a patron too, Martin. He said, I'm typing this as I just finished your Raven sign, so there you Smith video. And now I talked about EDC needing to be held more accountable. And I really appreciate what he, he said this after the Ravens has signed to Darius Smith. So let's still read it though, man. He said, I talked about how EDC needed to be held more accountable. And I really appreciate what he's doing in free agency. Hopefully by the time this question is read, we will have had another major move. Now he, well, we did have another major move, but it went backwards. But he said, he just needs to have better drafts. But hey, if he's this aggressive and free agent every year, you will not hear any complaints from me. I'm sorry. Even if these free agents don't work out, I won't complain because EDC did everything that he could, was Darius Smith. Looked like you're still about to be complaining. He tried though. He tried. He tried. So we ain't mad at him for trying it, but was it there? The Viking said, what? That's what the Ravens trying to get you. Oh, please man, that deal ain't nothing. We got you. Let's get you some real monies, Darius. But yeah, he, EDC tried, he tried and he tried to get Zidarius for the low, but it just, yeah, it didn't end up working out. Whoo. All right. Next question came from my guy, that hit man, John, and appreciate you being a patron as well, man. He said, good morning. And Raven and team keep it clean. I'm going to get to the point. So since it's free agency time, do you think the Ravens should mortgage their future? To win now? Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Question done, but he had a lot more. He also said, in my honest opinion, we definitely should. Teams don't care about the cap because they know in about five years, the cap is going to be significantly higher than it is today. So yeah, I guess the cap is cap. Ravens, we need playmakers on both sides of the ball. You know how long I've been stressing the past. So it's time to bring Zidarius Smith back. Drop Brandon Williams. Well, that seems like it's happening. Derek Williams, well, that seems like it's happening. Derek Wolf, well, he ain't going nowhere. Houston, we ain't heard none about him. Elliot, we ain't heard none about him, but they signed Marcus Williams. So yeah, keep Anthony Averett. Well, he's a raider and try to get Jesse Bates, Bingo franchise tagged him or Tyron Wallace. He didn't sign with anybody yet, but we signed Marcus Williams, so he's out too. And we definitely need Wagner alongside Queen. We know how that's about to go. On offense, focus primarily on the offensive line because nothing else matters if Lamar is hurt or can't even stand upright. I know everyone loves our wide receiver group right now. So do I, but more is better. Ooh, see, okay, I like it. He scared me at first. He scared me because he said, I know everyone loves our wide receiver group right now. So do I, but more is better. Get him an established number one wide receiver. Take the pressure off of Bateman and Hollywood. If we do these things in my opinion, we have no excuses to lose barring injury. What do you think? Sorry for the long rant, but does this idea sound crazy to you? No, it doesn't, not at all. I love it. I love it. Love it. Because again, it sounds like he was about to go this way, but he still kept going this way. And it was like, okay, let's go. Let's go. So yeah, man, I loved everything that he said. I loved the way that he said it. Now it is, again, some of this stuff, it can't happen no more, but it is what it is. All right. Let me see. Let me make sure I ain't missing anything. All right, here we go. Next question came from my boy, Justin C. He said, it's a quick draft question. Hey, what's up in Graven? Hope you're blessed and thank you for working so hard through this exciting off-season. Yes, this off-season has been like crazy, man. It's been crazy, super crazy. You've been putting in overtime. Oh yeah, but it's all good. I got a quick draft question now that they released the draft order. We all know EDC loves quantity in picks, but I counted it up. We have 10 total as it stands with four being in the first three rounds. Six in round four. We got, what? We got six fourth round picks, Rick? And only one in round six. So I feel like I need to remind you real quick. I'm not a college guy, so I have no idea about prospects, but in your opinion, do you feel that us having nine picks in the first four rounds will get us better quality guys? Do you feel like EDC will trade some away and try to get more picks maybe in lower rounds? And if he doesn't trade them away, can you name some picks you'd like to see and why? I remember you making a video calling for a Shaw Bateman and we got him, so let the Ravens know. And like Russell Wilson in Seattle, I'm out. Oh, he said he meant five in the fourth round. Based off of history, based off of history, I can see the Ravens trading back to get even more picks. But I just, I don't see a world where the Ravens really make 10 draft picks. 10? 10 draft picks? Now I know they got a lot of holes on the roster, but 10 draft picks? 10? No, man. Like, package some of them picks, trade up quality over quantity, like 10 rookies. I know they got a lot of holes to field, man, but 10? No, man. You know. No, what's up, Raimi? 10 draft picks? That's, yeah, you don't need all that. You could trade some. You ain't gotta walk into the draft with 10 draft picks. Whoa. Whoo! Yeah, they had to package some of them joints so he said 10 picks is OD. Man, yeah, 10? 10? Whoa. Whoo! We gonna see though. We gonna see. All right, let me get to the email questions now because the patrons, y'all kill it as usual. So shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean patrons. How long we been on here for about 40 minutes? So we got a little bit wild, we got a little wild left. Okay, let me see what my guy, Gold Morano, said. He said, what's happening in Graven? As you'd well know, there's little dramas surrounding the whole Lamar Jackson contract agreement as you have stated. With no agent, the Ravens Brass will surely do everything possible to ink a deal that favors the Ravens organization. If this impasse continues into the draft in OO and QB Malik Harrison out of Liberty happened to be available, would you sanction a trade back into the first round after selecting YRZ with Drake London with the 14th pick in order to nap this QB with incredible running ability in addition to a powerful and inaccurate arm? Likely superior to that of Lamar, there seems to be an increasing possibility that Lamar won't be a Raven passes rookie contract. Well, that last part, yeah, we'll see. But no, I wouldn't. Because if you do that, if the Ravens did that, oh boy, if the Ravens did that, that would be telling Lamar, bye. And I know there's some of y'all that would actually like that. I know there's some of y'all, I know who y'all are too. But if the Ravens did something like that, that would be them telling them Lamar, bye. Okay, we're done. No, so no, I would not do that. I would not want them to do it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Next question, yuck, no. Next question came from my guy Ethan. He said, I'm a huge fan of the videos. I love that you've been a source for all of my Ravens news updates and some great insight on the team as well as the league. This is my first question. So hopefully I don't botch it. Hopefully I don't botch reading it. I got my glasses on, but sometimes they don't work. Anyway, he said, Sam Cooke is old. So y'all know where this is going. And this is how a lot of people always start off with these questions. They say something positive because they know they buy to say something negative. He said, Sam Cooke is a beloved Raven and has been here for a very, very long time. See, I watched the twist. But if the Ravens want to sign more players in this year's free agency period, Sam Cooke may be one of our cat casualties. Cutting him would clear two to three million and this class has some good talent at the position like Matt or Razor, who we might snag with one of the 104th round picks that we have. So what question is, how likely do you think this is to happen and what would you do if you were in the costume shoes? Anyway, thanks to Engraven. Keep up the great work. And I look forward to getting Bobby Wagner for your agency, ha ha, have a good one. Thanks again, appreciate it Ethan. Wow, Sam Cooke, he can still punt. I would love if we could go back to the days of 2019 but you ain't even know Sam Cooke was on the team. We didn't even know he was there. We didn't even know he was there. Sam Cooke was just chilling on the sideline all the time. That was the days where the offense was just scoring so many points. Ooh, the glory days. Seemed like it was so long ago, cause it was. But with Sam Cooke, I had to do like, we'll release you, bring you back at a cheaper deal, vet minimum, something like that. Okay, I'll talk to him about it first. I'll tell him what's going on. I mean, he been around the game for a long time. He's obviously been a Raven for a super long time. So I will talk to him about it. Hey, how you feel about this? We're trying to cut back a little cap. We're trying to save a little cap. We're going to release you then bring you right back at a cheaper deal. You know, we've done this before to so many different players. You are you willing to do that for us? And if you're not, we understand, we're just going a different direction at punter. That's it. Just have a straight up conversation with him or well with his agent, whoever. That would be it. That'd be it. So, I don't know, I think it would be pretty, pretty simple, straightforward. Wow, we got a long question right here. Let's take a little quick commercial break while I drink this water cause we got a long question coming up. So we'll be right back. All right, break over. So the next question came from my guy, Paul. And y'all go ahead and sit down. We're going to be here for a little bit. Paul said, how concerned should we be about the state of the Ravens cornerback position headed into the 2022 season? All right. He said, hello and Graven. I hope all is good with you and the family. I'm loving your coverage of the NFL all season. So keep it up. Appreciate that. I'm writing this at one in the morning on March 16th, right after hearing about the Raven signing of Morgan Moses. Okay. Oh, he was up late. Think about this one. And I have to say that has been an exciting day to be a Ravens fan. I think Marcus Williams can truly be that guy as strong safety, well, free safety, but anyway, four years to come and put the whole Earl Thomas saga to rest. Moses is not a flashy signing, but a necessary one, which can finally give some stability to our offensive line after these last couple of years. But what's next? Yes, we still need to get younger at defensive line. We can still use an upgraded edge and inside linebacker and it will be nice to have some insurance on offense for JK, Gus, and Nick Boyle, but I feel that our cornerback situation is not being talked about nearly enough going into next season. And I'm very concerned. Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters are both foundational players on our defense and both of them are recovering from serious injuries sustained in 2021. So we need to have a solid backup plan in place just in case one, or both of them are not ready to go at the start of the regular season. We saw what happened when Peters was out all last season. Ooh, yes, it was a big yikes. We saw what happened, oh, excuse me, but at least we had Tayvon Young, Anthony Avid and Jimmy Smith, but now Tayvon Young is gone. Avid is a pending free agent who went to the Raiders and Jimmy Smith is all but retired. Chris Westry is okay and Brandon Stevens could play corner, although he is penciled in as safety, but as I see it, nothing is guaranteed at cornerback the next season. Yes, we still have the draft and for all I know, we could have signed a free agent by the time you read this. So he knew it was gonna be read late, but anyway, he said, but I feel like more needs to be done to address this issue. Last year, the Ravens assumed Ronnie Stanley and Nick Boyle would be good to go, but they were clearly wrong. And we saw what happened. I really hope they make the same or they don't make the same mistake with Humphrey and Peters. So it will be reassuring to see more happen at cornerback this off season. Anyway, my question for you is, how concerned should we as Ravens fans be about our cornerback situation? Is it a serious weakness going into the next season or do we need to just have some confidence that things will work out? I certainly hope that Humphrey and Peters are ready to go, but having one more proven guy at corner would make me a whole lot more confident in our defense going into next year. Shout out to EDC for what he did for us today, but let's keep being aggressive. Let's do whatever it takes to get us back to the post season and get that Lombardi trophy. The AFC is shaping up to be brutal once again and this is the last year of Lamar's rookie deal. So in many ways, it's now or never. So keep it up. And like Marcus Williams is with the New Orleans Saints and Morgan Moses is with the Jets. I'm out. Appreciate that. So cornerbacks. We gotta see. We gotta see. You can say this same thing about a lot of the players on a team. Like you think about it, like think about the running backs too. Running backs with all of our top running backs. All three of them coming back from season ending injuries. Um, cornerbacks. Yeah, Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey. Well, Marcus Peters, an advantage that he has, just like Gus Edwards, JK Dobbins, Justice Hill, their injuries happened before the season. So kind of an advantage there. He said he'll be back like June, July. He said he'll be back by training camp. So okay, we'll hold you to that. We'll see you then. Marlon Humphrey, I think he'll be back. Like what was his injury? Was it his shoulder? I forgot. What was Marlon Humphrey's injury again? It was significant, but it wasn't like one of those things. I think it was more, he just needed to rehab and like let it rest for a while. I don't think he needed surgery for it. So that's good. Oh, peck, peck. Okay, okay. Appreciate y'all. See, I don't be remembering stuff. I think we should be straight. He said he tried punching the ball out. Hey, you that fruit punched. You punch all the time. It might backfire. Sometimes the ground might swing back. If you go for that fumble, you boom. You Hulk smash the ground and that's it. Appreciate that, Wavy. He said, hit me out. After signing a highly coveted virus, I'm done with you, man. He said after signing a highly coveted virus, Eva and Ricard, I think Roman is going to fly this year. I say put them on goals all year. I don't know who's stopping that, to be honest. Hashtag fire Gregory. Y'all realize like this has been one of the funniest days in Raven's social media, Raven's Twitter, all that stuff. But anytime a big move, a significant move is made, it's always funny. If you on Raven's Twitter, the jokes, they fly, man. They fly. And people, it's like just when you think you literally heard everything that you could possibly have heard about the Ravens, that somebody come up with something else and just like, oh, man. Like the best one from today, where is my guy? I think it is Bateman. Oh, what's his name? Let me see, cause I gotta give a shout out to him cause this was the funniest one that I see. Like you gotta see it. Me saying it, you ain't gonna sound as funny. But, okay, Bateman season 12. He said Tyrequin, Greg Roman asks him to come off the field for Pat Ricard and there's a picture of Drusty pointing at itself like, me? But you gotta see it. It doesn't sound funny when I say it but you gotta see it to really be like, oh yeah, ha ha ha. That is actually pretty funny. But anyway, let's get it to the next question. Next question came from my guy, BB. I saw some people talking about Ray Lewis in the chat and his question is about Ray Lewis. He said, I wanna really think, oh, I really wanna talk about Ray Lewis. We all know Ray is the greatest of all time, no question. I wanna talk about why he was great. Ravens, as we know, have always been defense first. Ray had help. Through the years of his career, Ravens knew the talent they had and they built a defensive supporting cast around him which made him into the player he became. As I look at this Ravens organization as of recent, it seems they have lost intelligence on team building. What I'm trying to say is Lamar is a generational talent like Ray Lewis. Why have the Ravens not given the same respect to Lamar by building around him like they did Ray Ray? Fans wonder why Lamar isn't signing a contract. Look at what this organization is not doing. The offense would be nothing without Lamar. We all know that. Love the channel fam and hashtag team, keep it clean. I think it's because of what you said, the Ravens, they've always been so built on defense. They know how to get stuff done on defense but on offense it gets a little awkward. So since for the longest, they've been so lackadaisical when it comes to the offense, they're like, oh, whatever, it's cool. Ah, Lamar here running around, he work it out. That's what I think, so. Next question came from my guy, Brian. Oh, I forgot about him. He said, engraving Brandon Knight, remember him? Does he report to camp this year? If so, does he make the team as a backup? Appreciate that donation, man. I don't, man, I don't know what the status is with him because I know he was like, I'm not going to the Ravens, man. No, y'all can't make me. Because remember the Ravens had got him from Dallas, Dallas had released him. Ravens claimed him, he was like a guard, I think. He was a guard, a tackle, he's an offensive lineman. Dallas Cowboys released him. They wanted him back on their practice squad but the Ravens claimed him on the waiver wire. They were awarded him. And then he was like, nope, I'm retiring. And he did say it for his mental health. But he retired, he was like, no, I'm not going to the Ravens. So I believe if he decided to come back, then I believe the Ravens would have his rights. But yeah, he's retired, man. He's retired. What's up, Gavin? How you doing, man? Oh, next question came from my boy Joshua Ajay. I wish, I wish that he was in here right now because my boy Joshua, he'd be going off, man. He'd be going off and he don't care what you think. He will be straightforward every single time with exactly how he feels about these Ravens. I wish he was in here, my guy, but if you watch this song, Replay, big shout out to you. But he said, could Lamar's lack of ambition to sign a contract be based on the Ravens, the Ravens decision to keep Greg Roman around? I can't imagine any quarterback being excited to work under Roman's system for four years. Talk less a whole career. I mean, Lamar was on the shop with LeBron who could easily say, bro, there's nothing wrong with switching teams. Take your talents to South Beach. Oh, coincidence. Oh boy, I think not. Keep up the great work. Appreciate it, man. And he's in this on March 12th. Today is what the 21st or 22nd, whatever today is. He's talking about South Beach back then. But I think that could be a part of it, man, for sure. The whole Greg Roman thing. Cause Greg Roman, again, he got a rep. He got a rep around the league and his rep still has not changed. So that's why I think it shows me that the Ravens don't really believe in Lamar, like that, in my opinion. Anyway, next question. Oh, next question. Anyway, it came from my boy, Dame. He said, hey, how you doing, man? Love the videos. I'm a Ravens fan as well. I'd like for you to answer some of my questions doing some of your videos if it's, if not. Anyway, he said, I heard the commanders are willing to trade anyone on their team for the QB. Well, this was obviously before Costa wins. Okay, so I guess that question is no good anymore. Next question came from my guy, Demetris. V, he said, do you think it's possible the Ravens will trade up in the draft for someone like Sauce Gardner? They might not have to if he dropped to 14, obviously, but if he was falling, I don't think they would. I don't think they would. I think they would take another one of the corners or another one of the top corners, like Booth or something. Stingley, I don't know about him. He kind of like shake you to me, man. Only cause of the injury history. That's the only thing I'll be scared of, man. That's it. That will be it, man. But no, I don't think they would trade up for him. Next question came from KC. He said, after April and before the draft, don't be surprised to see a lot of staff get, oh, he sent this on March 14th. He said, after April 1st and before the draft, don't be surprised to see a lot of the staff getting fired. I hear the team president was hired for two reasons, to get the Ravens Super Bowl ready and to sign Lamar. Why was Eric not promoted to team president? Well, Eric was not promoted to team president because they had that five-year succession plan in place for him to become the general manager. But as far as the rest of the stuff, hey, he sent this on March 14th. He might be right. Cause you know, Hubbaul, his assistant got fired and whatever. And the Ravens, they make no announcement about that. They make no public PSA about that, like they usually do. You know, when Ravens hire somebody, like they hired the Titans guy to help with recovery from injuries and stuff. They made a big announcement about that. They, the whole thing with Wink Martindale or Ravens kind of, trying to shove him out the door. They made the announcement about that. They ain't make no announcement about the John Hubbaul's assistant getting fired. His right-hand man getting fired. They kept that on the load. No, no, I ain't seen no article on the Baltimore Ravens.com, nothing, nothing. They kept that all the way on the load. They were like, oh no, we ain't letting this one out cause the fans, they gonna start tripping. They gonna start talking. We don't wanna hear it. I appreciate that, Donna. Thank you, man. He said, should the Ravens choose defensive players from free agency instead of the draft because the Ravens defense hasn't been the same since the Glory Tanks. No, I wouldn't say that. They been straight. John Moe, what's up, man? What's going on, man? Last year, like, was tough because again, they lost a lot of people. I think one of the biggest helps to them will be, and as far as your question, I think they could do a mix of both. But I think one of the biggest helps for Ravens defense this year will be, obviously people being healthy, but also the scheme. The scheme will be such a huge factor in, get me in there. But the scheme will be such a huge factor in the Ravens having success on defense. I keep saying for Mike McDonald, it was, yeah, exactly, Indigo. For Mike McDonald, it will be extremely hard for him to fail if everybody's healthy. It'll be extremely hard for him to fail. So anyway, next question came from Aiden. He said, I hope things are going well for you. I've been thinking about this for a while, but why do the Browns have the pick before the Ravens? If you think about it, Ravens and Browns have the same record, however, the Browns won the last game between the two. Therefore they held the tiebreaker, which also put the Ravens in last place in the division. I know it's only a one pick difference, but you never know, Cleveland can get someone that the Ravens are targeting at that number 14 spot. Yeah, that's why you got to have your options open. I forgot what it was. I think it went by strength of schedule, I think. I forgot why the Browns, they ended up picking before the Ravens. So I'm sorry. I'm sure the comments section, I'm sure that everybody in the comments section, they'll be able to explain it to you because I really, I forgot why the Browns are ahead of the Ravens when it came to the draft. All right, what is next? 2017 draft deja vu. Said I ain't great, but next question came from Cedarian. Said as the draft approaches, I'm starting to get weird deja vu from the Ravens 2017 draft. Similar pick order, similar needs. In the first three rounds of that draft, the Ravens went all defense. Marlon Humphrey, Tyus Bowser, Chris Wormley, Tim Williams, ooh, yikes. And a lot of Ravens fans, they just think Eric DeCostman having some bad drafts. Whoa. He said, with the draft being so deep and secondary and pass rush, is this the route the Ravens go again? No, because there's gonna be a wide receiver somewhere in there. First three rounds are getting a wide receiver. I've been telling the old man, first three rounds, wide receivers happen. So no, I don't think they go that route. Next question came from Makai. He said, I wanted to get your opinion on two of my thoughts first. I wanted to thank you for being one of the, one of the not many Ravens fans who believe that Tristan Colón Castillo can actually do a fine job as our center next year. I think he can do a great job next year. Second, everyone says Lamar should get a blank check. And I love Lamar, but why would he get 50 or 55 million? That will severely limit what we can do in the future. And in my opinion, really wouldn't be in favor of this, bring a Super Bowl to Baltimore. Mantra, not saying he should take a pay cut. He can take 45 meal like my home, but I really don't think the Ravens or Lamar wants to get a 55 million a year dollar deal done because at this point, we can say goodbye to all of our 2024 free agents, Hollywood, Dubin, they approach a Zitler, Madabique, Clark, JK and Gus. Just a little guest food for thought, keep up the great work. Appreciate that, Leonard. He said, Brown to the chiefs for picks. No, I don't want that to happen. I would not want that to happen at all. I've been hearing it. I've been hearing people say that, especially since Tyreek Hill just got traded and you know, the chiefs, they got a bunch of picks, man, a bunch of picks. But anyway, no, I wouldn't be with that. Now you're saying Hollywood or Green Bay. One last question, if you don't mind, who do you think the breakout player for the Ravens is going to be this year? I believe it's going to be Madabique. I don't know if I spelled that right. Hey, I could never spell that name. I could never spell that name off the top of my head. I would have to look at it. Breakout player for the Ravens next year. I think away, away. If the Ravens could get another, like get them some help on the other side, I would say away, I'd say away. All right. See, Leonard, I had to check Twitter, right? Well, if that would have happened, if he would have got traded, I had to check Twitter just now to make sure he didn't get traded, but I know my phone would have been blowing up like crazy if something like that happened. Anyway, next question came from, let's see. Oh, Stefan. He said, what's good, brother? Hope the family is doing well. With the Titans releasing Julio Jones, do you think the Ravens will try to sign him? And guess what? It won't cost us a comp pick. Ravens ain't worried about them comp picks right now because they ain't getting no, like the deals that their free agents are getting, they ain't worth nothing. They ain't worth no comp picks. Like, excuse me, their best free agent was Bradley Bozen. He got a one year deal for like 2.8 mil. Avery, he got, what, a one year? No, he got a two year deal. I forgot for how much. So Ravens, the free agents that they're losing, they ain't getting no crazy deal. They ain't getting no comp pick worthy deal. So Raven, they ain't worried about them comp picks this year. So yeah, they ain't got to worry about that. Next question came from David. He said, hey, you engraving, I've been doing lots of mock drafts recently after all this free agent news because of this, I think we could trade up to number nine or 10 overall and get Trayvon Walker to make up for the loss of the various. Here's the mock draft, why I traded up to number 10 to get him. Do you think EDC would do this trade? And is it possible for Trayvon to fall to number 10? Hope all is well. They're giving us such good content on free agency moves. Anything is possible. Again, til it ain't possible no more. With Trayvon Walker, it just depends on how much the teams in front of the Ravens value him. And if he is really your guy, which with the Ravens, you never know. But if he is really your guy and you see him start to slip a little bit, it's like, wait a minute, hold up. You see him still keep slipping. You're like, whoa, whoa, wait a minute now. And if you see him slip to a spot where it's like, this team, they might take him or this team. Oh, they might take him too. And if he is really your guy and you really think he's liked that, trade up and go get him. Go get him. Well, you got a lot of options that pass for us too. There's Jermaine Johnson, everybody keep talking about now too. Next question came from Phil. He said, ain't Graven Phil here. It's been plenty of great content. You've been giving us the first week of free agency. I'm thinking about how to Ravens patiently wait until it's time to walk his Williams. And I got so worried, we would just re-sign Joaquin's and call it a day. I just saw Sammy Joaquin just tweet out the little eyes emoji. And I was like, hold up, Sammy, don't tweet that up. Don't tweet that up, man. Appreciate that 10 say. He said, if Ravens betray Lamar after what he's done, I'm trashing my Ravens gear and moving on. Loyalty isn't free, it's earned. Appreciate you donating that. Back to the question. He said he got so worried that we would just re-sign Sammy Joaquin's and call it a day. I got excited with getting Moses Zidarius, which was short lived, and even Michael Pierce. I'm looking at our knees with Zidarius backing out. I'd say Y receiver edge, another inside defensive lineman. You could bring Kalleus back and draft another guy. Center and offensive tackle will be nice. I wanted to speak on Y receiver though. Odell Beckham Jr., Julio and Landry are available as of right now. I think I'd want Odell Beckham Jr., the most if knowing he's healthy, but if not Jarvis with that all into play. I don't believe we will sign these guys to be real though or draft a wide receiver. I'm thinking we sign Tretta to a three year deal and get Traylon Burks or Drizzy Drake London because we need a big body guy. We can try signing an edge, but for once I'd rather see the Ravens when healthy have a defensive lack than the offense. Invest in that offense. Should be offense being prioritized over defense. And that, see, and another thing too. So many people think, and it can be like, why? Why do you have to be thinking so negatively? Like a lot of Ravens fans have such a negative mindset. So many people think if you say prioritize the offense then they be like, what? Oh, so you just want to neglect the defense like that? So you don't want to do anything on defense? It does not mean that. It just means put some more into the offense than the defense. It does not, it didn't, nobody ever says, all right, do nothing but offense. Don't do anything for the defense. Nobody says that. If people say prioritize the offense, really invest in the offense, then people, what about the defense? Oh, you don't want to, you want to have a bad defense, don't you? Anyway, appreciate that, Michael. He said, restructure Stanley and extend Peters another year and make that cap space and go get Odell plus Wagner. If they got Odell, like you got to, you got to do more than that. If they got Odell then they definitely doing it. They drafting a receiver early for sure. Either way, if they do or don't get Odell, they still drafting a receiver early. Because with Odell, he got hurt in the Super Bowl. He got a long recovery to go. And I mean, he should just go to the Rams doctors who got Cam Acres right. But Odell got hurt in the Super Bowl. Odell actually, he'd be getting kind of banged up. So with Odell, you get Odell, but that can't be your end all be all. Nope, no, no, no, no. Can't be your end all be all. They'll still take a wide receiver early, even if they got him. Oh, and he said, we need a big body guy. We can try signing Edge, but for once I'd rather see the Ravens when healthy have a defensive lack than the offense. Even with the offensive talent, I wouldn't trust the play caller, Koff Koff Gregory. So yeah, that was a fun question. I appreciate it though. All right, next question came from my boy, TRM Wayne. He said, what's up in Raven? What's going on? I hope everything is well with you and the fam. My question for you is since David O'Jabbo is injured and might fall into the second round, do you think we should get him? Yes, I think that would be the fault, the furthest that he would fall though. The furthest in the timing of the injury is terrible, but I don't think he's gonna fall too far. I just think that he's not gonna get a fifth year option because that's the furthest I think he'll fall. Now he could still get drafted in the first now, but I think that the furthest that he'll fall to me will be in the second. Next question came from my boy, Dylan P. He said, what's going on in Raven? Hope all is good with the family, but man, has this all season been crazy or what? Anyway, with Tyree Kale being traded to the Dolphins and them already having Preston Williams, Waddle and had already signed Cedric Wilson from the Cowboys, do you think we should make him over Devontae Parker? You can't ever have enough weapons. He's a big body physical receiver, which is what we need. What are your thoughts? And would you trade up to 14 to pick Kayvon Thibodeau, the past rusher from Oregon if he starts falling a little in the draft? Even if it cost you a first round pick for next year. Thank you for all you do for Raven's block and keeping us up to date with Raven's news. This has been a name I keep hearing about, but I haven't seen it. I think my guy Jay Ham was just talking about him, a little bit of gold. I don't know if Ham, if you're still in here or not. So I can't speak on Thibodeau cause I don't know anything about him yet. But as far as Devontae Parker, he might end up getting cut. If I was a Dolphins, I want to keep them all. Keep them all, the Mortimeria, high quality, let's go. But he probably going to end up getting cut. So I can see the Ravens, look at King Yadda up in here. King Yadda always messing with Raven's fans. Shout out to King Yadda and your bingles, man. But yeah, he probably going to end up getting cut. What was it? You were just talking about Thibodeau, right? Appreciate that, Leonard. Raven's got a task to keep pace in this AFC. Oh yeah, cause they are way behind. But Devontae Parker, I wouldn't mind him. Next question. Whoa, appreciate that, Donald. Heading to bed, gotta go to work and install some more HVAC. Oh, hey, keep them people cool. Cause summertime is like, it's here pretty much. Love your content, go Ravens and my O's. Keep up the great work and try to get some well-deserved sleep. Appreciate that, Donald. Thank you, DT. Appreciate that, man. If Thibs drops to 10, you gotta go get him. Oh, he like that? Okay, see Dapper just said Thibodeau is a beast. Woo, okay. Who they? They the healthiest team in NFL, but when they? Be liable, what's up, man? What's up, man? How you doing? All right, let's keep it going, man. We've been making some progress with these questions from subscribers, man. So I appreciate y'all coming through, especially unannounced stream. Well, we did announce it on Twitter that we will be streaming in a little bit, but I do seriously appreciate y'all coming through, like boom, like, oh, hey, we showing up. Like y'all showed up and showed up, man. Next question came from Mars. He said, well, from the looks of it, Darius Smith is signing with the Minnesota Vikings. The Ravens have a serious needed edge outside linebacker, and though he would have been a great re-addition to the squad, it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. So I'm asking, who would you like to see the Ravens bring in the way I see it? The Ravens have two starters at the position. Away and Bowser, with Bowser sidelined until further notice, it only leaves away. David Ajabo was going to be my solution for this. He is exceptionally athletic, played under McDonald's system in Michigan and even played with Away in high school. Makes so much sense, but then he had to go and rupture his Achilles. I see it like this, we can either sign two to three free agents, which would include a veteran or draft a one talent and sign some debt to back them up. Guys I see us targeting are Justin Houston, Arden Key or Derek Barnett. Well, I mean, they brought in Arden Key and Rashim Green today. So, and Barnett's still a free agent? I don't know that. Guys, I can see us drafting a David Ajabo, not just day one, Jermaine Johnson, or hit me out. We packaged some picks to move up and grab Aiden Hutchison. They ain't doing it. He probably going to like top two, top three. Ravens ain't moving up that high. No way, no way they do that. But you know, you know, how about say you never know, but you know what they's right, they ain't moving up that high. She said, oh, he said he'd know his talent and how to put it to use better than anyone. Who would you sign? No, who would you trade? I think Edge is the weakest position on the team. Second only to defensive tackle. Pearson, Madda, BK are nice, but we have no debt. All right, so as far as an Edge guy, you know what? I wouldn't be mad at the signings from today. The defensive ends that they brought in today. I would want them to sign both the Auden key and Rashidne Green, because when you think about it, our defensive line, they are very old and unathletic, minus Madda BK. Well, our defensive line last year. Because think about it, we had, excuse me, we had Kaleas Campbell, we had Pernel McPhee, we had Derek Wolf, we had Brandon Williams, and we saw what happened. Like run defense, oh yeah, let's go. Run defense, oh yeah, yeah. But that was it, that was it. It was, sometimes it'll be so sad just watching them try to get pressure, and just nothing. Nothing was happening, and it'd be like, ooh, yikes. Wow, like, it was rough, it was rough. So I would love, I would like it if they signed both of the guys that they brought in today for a visit. And then as far as the draft, I like Jordan Davis. I know some, I feel like with Jordan Davis, people either love them or they hate the pick I feel like there's no really no in between, but I might be missing some people. So that's what I would do. Next question came from BB. He said, and what if the Ravens proposed a deal to Lamar for seven years, 300 million with 200 guaranteed money? Do you think that will work for Lamar? It's roughly 42.8 per year. Thanks for the channel fam. No, I don't. Cause he, he's, that the Sean Watson contract, like think about it. Think about, we're not here to get into all that stuff. So we're going to keep it where it's at. But the Sean Watson just came, but he didn't play all last year. He wasn't suspended, but he didn't play all last year. And think like, when you really think about it, like it didn't hit me till like, I think it was yesterday. This guy, with all those lawsuits or whatever, whatever the situation is, whatever the story is, he got all of that going on and still got traded for and still got 250 mil. What? Browns were willing to give somebody who got all of that going on. 250 mil fully guaranteed. And he got all that. There's still some stuff that could still happen to him, but they were willing to give him to, Lamar got to be looking at that like, what? I'm team keeping clean. So I'm getting more than that. Lamar gots to be thinking about it like that way too. Cause if they will give the shot, who out of football for a year, all that side stuff going on and they still gave him all that, Lamar got to be like, oh man, okay, okay. Are we talking now? For real, man? What's up, Spence? What's up, man? There's something Graven, hope you're in the family doing well. An underrated need. I was wondering, what do you think EDC will do at inside linebacker? Is EDC pressed for Wagner? Do you see us resigning Fort Bynes or drafting a guy? Yeah, I think Wagner is done. I think Wagner is done for the Ravens. I just don't see that happening at all for them. Cause again, with the Rams, he'd probably be a ram by tomorrow. So, who else is out there, man? Cause I could not see them drafting somebody and being like, all right, you're going to be on inside linebacker now. Patrick Queen will sort of be your Robin. You'll be the Batman. He'll be your Robin. I don't see them doing something like that. So I see them signing a veteran, but what veteran would that be? I don't know, man. I don't know, man. Is Anthony ball even inside line? I thought Anthony ball was more outside linebacker. We'll see, man. Anyway, next question came from Greg from Be More. He said, Aang, Raven, hope things are going good and get better for you and all the team keeping clean community. By the time you read this, maybe more moves will be made. But right now, without worrying too much about the depth of O-line and starting O-line to me, if the season started right now, I'm guessing. Right tackle, Moses, Zyla, Makari or have Makari be everyone's backup, which is my guess. And that could happen if you start with Colón Castillo at center. Left guard has been Cleveland and left tackle is Ronnie Stanley. If he's not healthy, then this is toss up with Tyree Phillips. If not, then Makari. I'm actually okay with giving Colón Castillo a chance to center though, I'm not even close as comfortable as I was with now Panther Bradley Boosman. And hope the Ravens make a move there, but I think the main concern is the left side. Will Ben Cleveland step up in year two, which I think is a huge possibility he can. Stanley injury is a concern. If the Ravens do free agency or the draft can only make just one more move, not for depth, but to be a starter at any one of these positions, which O-line position you want the most right now, the Ravens to find a starter and add the moves Ravens have made by the time you read that to this question. Left tackle for me because I don't trust having a healthy Ronnie Stanley. And that's the biggest concern for me is left tackle without Stanley. Hope things get better for everyone in this community. Have an awesome day, everyone and much love. I would agree. I would agree 1000%. The reason I would agree is everything you just said, man. You gotta get past the hang up and get clowny. I would love to, you know, I would love the Ravens got clowny. Y'all know that, man. Y'all know I've been wanting clowny here for a long time. But yeah, so his question was basically if you had to choose a position on the offensive line to get another starter for the Ravens, which position would it be? And yeah, I would choose left tackle as well, just because you don't know what you're gonna get with Stanley. You just don't know. You hope that he's healthy, of course, but you just know and so much changes like that when Stanley goes out. It changes like that. The quality of the offensive line drops drastically when he goes out. So yeah, that it will be a left tackle for me. And it's like worst case scenario. Oh, we got another quality left tackle. Okay. And if he's that good, okay. If Stanley is healthy, all right. Put that other left tackle. Put them on the inside, whatever. And I do think that Ben Cleveland will get better with more and more time. Appreciate that, Kedrick. Do you think they will track Queen at inside line back again or that experiment is over? I like that, Robert. I don't think they're gonna give him a lot of responsibility again. I think they're gonna just let him be Robin. Let him be Robin. You don't gotta be Batman. Let him be Robin. No, Robin wasn't even in that Batman movie, was he? Y'all get what I mean? He ain't gotta be calling the plays. He ain't gotta be, you know, he ain't gotta do all that stuff, man. Cause I would much, I think they, and I think the Ravens see that too. I don't think, I think the Ravens are going in, knowing like, all right, we, no, we ain't doing that. We're not doing that again. We're not gonna start the season with that. We, nope, nope. But I mean, he is going into a new defense though. But how quickly can he pick it up? Never know, but I just, I don't see him putting all that responsibility on his shoulders again. I just don't, he said, go sign, hey, Lewis. Oh, boy. All right. Next question, oh, we answered that already about David the Jabu falling. But he did say, oh, he said with David the Jabu, okay, it came from my guy Mark. He said, this all seems to have been crazy. With David the Jabu's unfortunate injury, would you still draft him? If so, how far do you think he falls? I said the lowest, I think he'll be second round. I always enjoy your videos and I actually feel a part of the team. Keep it clean. Shout out to Jabu and hope you and the fam are doing well and looking forward to getting some merches. We appreciate that, man. I actually got to make some. So that's something I got to work on, but we'll get around that, get around to that when we get around to it. John Moa might have to, man. I really might have to, I don't mind, man. They give me that bread, you ain't even got. Man, I'll be ready, man. I'll be ready. Ravens wanna sign me, I'm with it, man. All right, next question came from my boy, Aiden. He said, more contract drama? I want to start off by saying I love the videos, man. Keep up the good work. Now on to my question. Appreciate that, Aiden. He said, with the Sean Watts, not only getting a huge contract from the Browns, but all 230 mil of it being guaranteed. Do you think this is going to affect not only Lamar Jackson, but other young quarterbacks coming off of their rookie deals like Kyla Murray? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. But I'm just gonna focus on Lamar and the Ravens. Do you see this having a huge impact on their contract negotiations between Lamar and the Ravens? Will Lamar look in the cash in and possibly try to get his money all guaranteed? Yes, yeah, of course. Again, the same thing we just explained earlier, the Sean Watson, he got all that stuff on the side going on and he still got paid, Lamar knows it's coming. Sorry for the ramble. I just wanna get your opinion on this. Once again, love the videos and get engraving to 100K. Appreciate that. We'll get there one day. No rush, no rush, no rush, no rush. Next question came from my boy, BB. He said, in engraving, do you think the Ravens should be interested in signing Jarvis Landry, having Hollywood, Bateman, and Andrews? This could be the fit if Ravens protect Lamar. Thanks for the channel, appreciate it. I think they would be interested in him. They were interested in him before he got traded to the Browns. I think they would be interested. Next question came from Terry. He said, hey, and Raven, what's up? Hope you're in a family good and safe. I wanted to say on your Ravens catch up vid, I really agree with you on how some teams are going all in and Ravens are still moving some around. You can see it with the use of Hollywood and Rashad Bateman and also not only that, but PQ as well. And I feel that as though some Ravens fans don't really see the full picture sometimes. Also wanted to ask you, what's the best division in the league right now? Honestly, still think it's the AFC North. Other than that, stay safe and trust. So what's the best division in the league right now? AFC West, it's gotta be right. AFC West, they going crazy with it. Now they of course still got a, they still got to produce on the field, but right now it's looking like it's the AFC West. So I'm gonna have to go with them. Next question. Oh, we were just talking about linebacker. Next question came from my boy Trunks. He said, you talked about the Ravens changing with the times, what do you think the benefits would be to the Ravens drafting Devon Lloyd to put alongside Patrick Queen? It's a lot of pressure for linebackers to come in and live up to the Ray Lewis hype. Side line and sideline speed, physical, instinctive, can play out in space, motivational leader. Why not get another talented linebacker to pair with him and split the field in half with them? Oh, I love how he put that, just perfect. I love how he put it, because he listed some traits about Devon Lloyd. Side line and sideline speed, physical, instinctive, can play out in space, motivational leader. And why not get another linebacker to pair with Patrick Queen and split the field in half with them? I love that. I just don't, I can't see them giving that to a rookie though. I'll be extremely surprised if they did that. Like really gave all that responsibility to a rookie. I couldn't see it happening. You never know, but I just, I couldn't see it happening, man. Not in this NFL, not in this passing league. I just, yeah, I don't see it going down. Next question came from my guy, Ricky Burch. He said, what's up in Graven? I hope you're in the family doing well. I want to start off by letting you know you're great at what you do with team keeping clean and keeping the Ravens locked up to date. We ain't nothing special. But anyway, he said, get it into the business. Jermaine Johnson really catches my eye in who the Ravens need to draft. I've seen a lot of people saying this. If you have any free time, then take a look at his combined performance, senior bowl practice and his game and highlights. He's a pass rusher who was very explosive, athletic, bendy and uses his hands with many pass rushing moves. Oh, that's a beautiful thing to hear. Many pass rushing moves, not just a one trick on you. He transferred from Georgia with the sick defense from what we saw when the chip to Florida state and was dominant the whole season. I need help on offensive line, but it's the top. If the top three offensive tackles are not there or sauce gardener, they're extremely on there. We must take Jermaine Johnson. Sorry for the all caps, but this guy has me lit with the possibility of pairing him with a doubt fairway. Thank you, Raven. Have a good one. Okay, appreciate it. What's up, Lou? So Jermaine Johnson, man. Yeah, getting somebody to pair with a doubt fairway. I remember somebody asked earlier today or earlier tonight, who you think is the breakout player for the Ravens? I said a doubt fairway. If they get some help for him on the other side and then you got to think with Tyus Bowser's injury, you got to go into the season like he's not gonna be there in the beginning, which he probably won't. They'd be nice if he is, but you gotta go into the season thinking he's not gonna be there. What are you gonna do? You lost for now McPhee. Tyus Bowser could be out. You lost Justin Houston for now. Jaylen Ferguson, I don't think he's gonna be there. So what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? You got a lot of holes to fill. They're wolf, can't count on him. What are you gonna do? So that's that. So yeah, I wouldn't be mad at that. Next question came from my guy Howard. He said, just a statement. The bingles just signed Lyle Collins and see what I mean. They seen their problem and attack it. Why not the Ravens, LOL? As I said last year, I don't know when teams are going to learn after seeing it so many times, teams banking on that quarterback to be Superman, Rogers, Newton, Vic, RG3, Big Ben, Russ. The list goes on. They all didn't give their QBs a line until they got put out by injury. We have the ultimate Superman from day one and still don't pay attention to history, which only helps repeat itself. Please get our boy some help. So that was just his statement. Now his question. He said, last time I lied, this time is serious. So watch this. This your boy flirting a whiskey and you don't have to sit back and relax. Do you think EDC needs to be held more accountable for what we don't have and what we're not doing? Our play call is limited due to the state of the line. He's only got one lineman well too, but the other was invisible. We didn't need Watkins. We have a window and I think him not addressing the needs is his fault. We're primed for a top 10 pick before Lamar took the field. He's given us all he has and they are giving him nothing. EDC needs to cash out on the line before somebody else shows that they can. Magus Lamar had the ability to pat the ball three times, LOL. We basically saying that Lamar ain't got no time. That's on EDC. The roster construction is on EDC. Again, last year I think he did an all right job. I'm not thinking he did a good job last year. It could have been better though as some quality spots like wire receiver. They could have been somebody better than Sammy Watkins. More reliable than Sammy Watkins. And at right tackle, it could have been somebody more better than Alejandro Villanueva. So again, it can't just be about quantity. You can't just be about filling spots. You got to be filling spots with quality. He said, this leads me to my next statement as a Ravens fan. Every other fan gets mad that we don't get every top name, free agent or make a big splash trade, but you have to look at it. A lot of teams don't make a bunch of those either. People say to Rams, but they gave up their future for the next 10 years. Ravens aren't that type of organization. That brings me around to my first question. They got Stafford, boom. They knew he needed one thing, a defense, which was the only thing that stopped him in Detroit. So what did they do, get as many pieces as they needed to give them a shot, small and big pieces because they all played a part. Even got Odell Beckham, Jr. And in our case, all we needed is to solidify the offensive line and everything else will come into place. If our offensive line was straight, we could take snaps from under center. We could go five wide. We could do more shot plays, which required more than one second before Lamar is making four people miss. Literally the line is the key, even to the defense, Peyton Manning offense with their defense in 2019. The offense applied so much pressure on opposing defenses. So our defense could just pin their ears back and pray Marlowe doesn't get hit with a double move. I say all that to say this, get Lamar some help, the help he really needs. Peace and blessings. Last and not least, the draft is really deep with playmakers that wire receiving cornerback is literally two Chris Westries in the draft hell of a little. Well, hopefully they'll be even better. But, Josh said we were in rebuild mode since 2018. Wow. All right, but yeah. Offensive line, yeah, but just more playmakers as well. It doesn't stop and shouldn't stop at the offensive line, in my opinion. So we gonna get out of here in a little bit, but next question came from, came from Jay. He said, I'm conflicted. Are you? Let me explain. For once, I think we have really solid wire receiver court. Bateman in Hollywood looked like a great one to punch. Pro Shade has amazing hands and works like no other. Duvenay is a Swiss army knife in Thailand, while it looks like he's got potential. We're losing Watkins and Boykin, who for one reason or another hasn't panned out. All I feel good about our guys, the arms races on in the AFC. While I rather build through the draft and give our homegrown talent the chance to ascend, do you think we can afford to do that? No. The cap is one concern, but we need to keep pace with the AFC West. No, no, no. Not just the AFC West, the AFC. And that's it. The AFC. They need to keep pace with the AFC. Not just that division, but the whole conference. He said, which is looking like the power division in the conference. The first step is to win the North. With that said, do you think we should sign a guy like Julio or Jarvis? Let me know what you think. Now y'all know I like Julio Jones, but I feel like that ship has sailed. I wouldn't be mad if they signed him, but I just, they would have to get a young big body wire receiver too. If they got Julio, okay, cool. You got Julio. That's fine, but you would have to get a young big body, aggressive wire receiver too. They would have to. And that would be nice, man. Imagine having that young big body wire receiver, Hollywood, Bateman, Julio, and Mark Andrews. Because Julio is cool, but you just can't rely on him. You can't rely on him. Julio would be like a last resort, man. So yeah, that's how I feel about that. So our next question came from my boy Brandon. He said, if we had JK Dobbins in 2021, what would have happened? What's up in Raven? Thank you for all that you're doing. It's been awesome seeing your channel grow over the years. The work you put in is truly special. I have a few thoughts, questions. Number one, although we had a ton of injuries in 2021, where do you think the Ravens would have been if Lamar and JK Dobbins just stayed healthy? Is it possible that the team would have still been able to be first or second seed in the playoffs? If Lamar stayed healthy, yeah. Yeah, they would have been in the playoffs for sure. There ain't no doubt in anybody's mind that they would have been in the playoffs if Lamar was still healthy, for sure. How many more wins do you think Ravens would have if only two players were at four health, Dobbins and Jackson? Ooh, if they stayed more healthy, how many more wins would the Ravens have had? I would say like, I would say like four. Probably like maybe even five. Well, yeah, like four or five. He said, how many nail-biting games would the Ravens have more control over if they just stabilized the run game? Oh, man. And that's when the Ravens' problem was just not being in the flow of the game. But yeah, many more than they did have. Like every game was close though, pretty much. Except the Bengals game, the two Bengals games. Well, the first Bengals game was close for a while, but the second one was close for a tiny bit, then it just, yeah, that got ugly. The Dolphins game, it was close for a little bit, but it just, it felt like it was a blowout the whole game and the Ravens just, that game was ugly, but anyway. He said, honestly, I think having a dangerous run game has a ripple effect on the entire team. Remember how much the defense improved in 2018 when Lamar took over and we donated time and possession? Anyway, I think we can forget how good this team really is. Maybe underestimating the impact of a beat-up offensive line though. And hopefully we really go all in on the offensive line. Number two, could a jabbo be the next Orlando Brown Junior as in a draft pick? First and foremost, I wanna wish a quick recovery for a jabbo, but also he needs to come to the Ravens because with Lacey DeCosta and with our new hire of Adrian Dixon, we are the best and most experienced at taking care of injured players. Oh yeah, she did say she'd be baking cookies and stuff for JK Dobbins. Anyway, I say this because Orlando Brown Junior was projected in the first round and we ended up getting two steals in the third round, Orlando Brown Junior and Mark Andrews. Could a jabbo end up falling in the third round and we draft them? Or is it likely that we trade up in the second round to draft them? I think it's more likely that second round. How are centers like JC Treader and Tyler Lindenbaum ranked in comparison to Bozeman? I honestly know nothing about the best centers, who the best centers are in the league, but on one ranking, I saw somebody rank Bozeman around 19 and JC Treader as a top five center. Also here, Tyler Lindenbaum is one or if not the best grader center in the history of the draft. My theory is that while I love Bozeman and how he plays, he may have been looking at the possibility of having to compete at left guard again with a possible new addition to the offensive line. With Bozeman, I think he just wanna lead the Ravens. Ravens, apparently they offered him a deal in free agency, but Jeff Zribick said he declined it. I'm not in free agency tonight. They offered him a deal to an extension during the season. He declined. Jeff Zribick said once free agency came around, he said the Ravens were done with Bradley Bozeman. He said they were once free agency hit, they were ready to move on. So they were over that. Appreciate that, Mike. He said, can we cut Peters and go get Stefan Gilmore? Plus add a nice receiver. Is that an option? Plus are we bringing back to Vonte Freeman? They could cut Peters, but to replace him with Stefan Gilmore? Ooh, Stefan Gilmore nice, but I would much rather mark as Peters. He's a much more of a playmaker than Stefan Gilmore. Stefan Gilmore, he's a lot like Marlon Humphrey. The type of corner. He doesn't play like him, but he's the type of corner. He ain't gonna get a bunch of picks. Mark as Peters is for the picks and the playmaker. Marlon Humphrey is more of the physical. He'll play the receiver instead of the ball. And he said, add a nice receiver. I agree with that part though. And are we bringing back to Vonte Freeman? I think they will. Appreciate you donating over. But yeah, as far as cutting Mark as Peters, it's a no for me for that one. No, no, no, no. He said, anyway, thank you for answering my questions and letting me get my thoughts out. And closing, I think we can be very surprised in the quality of play coming next year. Health is key. I think the Bengals were shocking last year and we may not have a Jamar Chase, but we do have amazing talent. That was unfortunately injured and we also have some ascending weapons on offense like Bateman, Hollywood, Andrews, Dobbins. And of course, Lamar is always getting better. Big trust. Appreciate that, man. Yeah, that's true. Health is wealth. Health is certainly wealth. And hopefully the Ravens have a lot of health moving forward because that was scary, scary to see last year. Next question came from my guy Brandon. Ooh, wow, that is a long question. We may have to table that for another episode because that is a very long question. We about to get out of here. I will do this last question and then we'll be done. The last question came from my boy Rodeo. He said, my guy, hope all is well with you because while it is with me, it ain't with me in regards to all guys. What is the cost of being competitive? Well, at least being competitive as a Ravens fan. Well, boy, it's much when I'm sending this message. It's two days in a free agency and while the NFL has gotten a total makeover when it comes to super teams and Avengers LoL, what have the Ravens done? Well, what they always do. Again, I'd want to preference this by saying, I don't want to be that guy and that I know is still super, super early. But even before free agency, I felt all healthy. This team ceiling is no higher than my ceiling fan. I feel that way we may not be able to hang with the teams we just previously watched in the playoffs. Is it coaching? Maybe Lamar's arm and vision development? Maybe, just personnel, maybe. I'm not sure what it is, but what I can say is two days in a free agency, I see some teams making just two signings that immediately boosted from competitive to contenders. We haven't been truly successful in approximately 11 years. However, for the most part, we've been competitive, not sure about you, but I'd love to break that mold. Yes, I agree, yes. I've been talking about this for a while. The Ravens, they've been a good team. They haven't been a great team though. And yeah, they've been competitive, but they haven't been contenders. So anyway, he said, I'd love to go all in. Yes, I agree. At least one official time. If it don't work, well, we try it. But man, I still feel like while we made two good signings in one great and one not enough, spin tail you literally can't. Chip away four to five draft picks out of 10. We may only have three players in four years anyway. Go all in now. I don't want to compete anymore. I want to truly contend, I agree. Make a blockbuster move. Seeing what the AFC West looks like is a big yikes. The Bengals weakness was offensive line. They addressed it immediately. You see what LA did for Stafford, Vegas for car? I feel like we are stuck in the mud. I'm not relying on a draft to carry us to the Super Bowl. When was the last time we had a rookie of the year? Our rookie's impact on a league scale is mid at most, besides for Mark Jackson. I don't know, man, I just don't know. I loved it. Loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it. Loved it. Yeah, he said, being competitive ain't good enough. And it's really not, it's not. Like, I was telling some people, there was somebody in the comment section of a video from yesterday to the day before yesterday. And they were like, oh, the Ravens. The Ravens, they were like, oh, even with all the moves the AFC West is making, there's always only four teams that are really in it in the AFC, and the Ravens are always one of them. And I looked, I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, man. No, they're not. You go to the last 10 AFC Championships. The Ravens were in one of those. And that was obviously back in 2012 season. That was the last one. So the Ravens have not been in the thick of things. They have not been contenders for a long time. They've been competitive, but contenders, no. They just ain't been good enough. They ain't been good enough. And it's for so many different reasons, but they ain't been good enough. They haven't been this bad, terrible team. No, they haven't, of course not. But they have not been great. And I think a lot of Ravens fans don't like hearing that. A lot of Ravens fans are like, oh, no, we haven't. No, Ravens have not been great. They haven't been. What do the Ravens have to show? And a lot of Ravens fans, they like to live off the past. They say, oh yeah, the team is so young. They got two Super Bowls and that's true. And that's great. That's phenomenal. But how close are they to getting another one? How close have they been to getting another one? What have they done in the playoffs? Regular season's cool. And regular season's where it starts. But what has happened when where it counts the most in the playoffs? What's happened then? They haven't been great, man. They got some serious work to do. Serious work to do. Appreciate that, Malik. He said, hot take, our offense can't hang with the new AFC. A good defense is good, but we just watched my homes drop 40 on the number one ranked defense in the Bills Oof. Yeah, and the Ravens, they have to. They absolutely have to. The offense gotta be strong, man. Cause the defense ain't gonna get it done, man. Just having a good defense, that ain't gonna be enough, man. It ain't gonna be enough, man. It's really not. So Ravens, they gotta really step it up. Like for sure, man. Speaking of stepping up, my guy, Martin, he just sent me another question. And this is really the last one. He's a patron, by the way. We read his question earlier, but now we read this part. He said, well, the Ravens didn't end up getting Zadaria Smith, but I'm still excited anyway. But EDC gotta step up before the draft. The Ravens have plenty of picks. If you can't find some on the market, then make a trade. I understand we are a team that builds through the draft, but that only works if you're good at drafting. But so far, EDC drafts have not had a lot of impact. That's true. That's true. He's got some good players, like Marquis Brown and JK, but most of them just haven't had a lot of impact. That's true. Just haven't had the impact players like that, man. So it is what it is. So again, hopefully, however the Ravens go about this season, however they go about moving forward this off season, whatever moves that they make, hopefully they really, and shout out to them for not making any moves during the stream, because that's something that I always worry about with the Ravens. If we do these random streams, like, oh man, what moves are they gonna make? Are we gonna have to end the stream early or something like that? But they didn't. So shout out to them. Thank you Ravens for respecting the stream. I appreciate it. Appreciate that, Marco. I like Patrick Carter. He isn't an issue. It's the predictable play calling when he's on the field by Greg Ruhman. Yeah, appreciate that donation. But yeah, that's, look, yeah, nobody dislikes Patrick Carter as a person, as a player, but a lot of people's fear is just, again, the usage of him. That's it. That's it. The predictability, yeah, that's a big part of it. And that's not even just with Patrick Carter. That's just the offense as a whole. Not saying the offense every single play gotta be a surprise. Like, oh man, I didn't see that coming, but it just, it's gotta be better. Personnel usage gotta be better. Play design gotta be better. Just recognizing what's working, what's not working. Just being in the flow of the game gotta be better. Execution gotta be better as well. So it's not just all on Greg Ruhman. And even with Greg Ruhman, there's been so many years where we just keep on, oh yeah, offensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, offensive coordinator. It's the offensive coordinator. But again, Ravens fans have to look, oh, sorry, they gotta look deeper than the offensive coordinator because it's not just him. It's not just him. Because Raven, it's been that same complaint year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year after year. Where everybody keep talking about offensive coordinators, how long we been talking about offensive coordinators? How long Ravens fans been complaining about offensive coordinators? It ain't the offensive coordinator man. It's the people putting these people in position to coordinate the offense. It's the person making the highest for the offense. A lot of this on hardball too. And a lot of this is even past hardball too. Ravens, their philosophy man, they gotta get with the times. They are so far behind. They are so far behind. They gotta get with the times. This is an offensive league. It's an offensive league. Get a quality offensive line. Get quality weapons for your quarterback. Go in man. Do this thing man. It is doable. You can make some real stuff happen. They can make some real stuff happen man. But they just gotta be willing to. Are all the Ravens like really willing to go all in like that? It doesn't seem like it. It don't seem like it. Maybe things could change from now till maybe a little bit later but it don't really seem like it. But we just gotta wait it out and see. All these AFC team, they just been going crazy with it. Ravens been sitting back and you know what's gonna happen now? And this is, I mean it is the Ravens fall but it's also not. But whatever the next move the Ravens make, oh man, I'm scared to see comments. I'm scared to see Twitter. I'm scared to see social media. I'm scared to see all of that from the reaction of the fans. Because depending on what move the Ravens make next, if it ain't something that's just crazy, it's gonna be a lot of backlash. It's gonna be a lot. Ain't gonna be nothing too crazy but it's gonna be, oh, cause like Ravens fans are watching. Ravens fans are watching and waiting. They ready to pounce on something or somebody they watching and waiting. And they like, oh, what, what are these Ravens about to do next? What are they gonna do? What move are they gonna make? So it's either gonna be extremely overwhelming or extremely underwhelming. And if I was a betting man which I'm not, but I would take the under on that one. Not that it would be a bad move if it's underwhelming but I know it just, a lot of Ravens fans would be like, that's not good enough depending on what it is. Depending on what it is. So we're gonna see how it goes. We're gonna see what these Ravens do. We're gonna see what these Ravens looking like. We're gonna see what these Ravens are about very, very soon.

It's been a lot going on in the NFL and it's like, it never slowed down. So I've been wanting to do questions from subscribers but just haven't had the time to do questions from subscribers. So the fact that we were able to do it tonight on this random Wednesday night, this random live stream and the fact that y'all showed up, I appreciate it. I thank you. And on that note, y'all have a really, really good night. I love you and we out. Yeah, this feels like a dream. I know just what I made. You two take it clean. You see my boy, he like, gotta made it. Boy, that's my homie. Ain't that right? Engraving, right? Engraving, right? My fault, y'all. I see I missed the super chat from my god, Marco. My god, my god, sorry, we was getting ready in this stream, but we got to keep it going for a little bit. He said, I also rather us fly on the fly low on the radar and let other teams get all the attention. It might work in our advantage. They can have the height. No, no, that I disagree with. Reason I disagree with that is because if Ravens, say for instance, Ravens are, they flying low on the radar right now. They doing that, but while they're flying low on the radar, all these other teams are flying right by the Ravens. They flying by, yeah, Ravens are getting a lot of people back, which is great. And if they can be healthy, yeah, they'll be much better than they were last year. But these moves that a lot of teams that are making that were healthy last year, and of course you never know what could happen, but they've been making moves that blow past the Ravens. They're like really trying to upgrade, upgrade. And the thing about that is that a lot of these teams, so many of these teams, they already have good teams in place. They already have quality pieces in place, but they get even more quality pieces to make themselves even better. So as far as Ravens flying under the radar, yeah, they flying under the radar right now, but they're gonna be under the radar if they keep up what they've been doing. So they gotta really step out there comfort zone even more than they have already this off season and really get after it. We out for real this time. Yeah, this feels like a dream. You see my boy, he like, that's what I made. You two take, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, gotta made it. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right in Ravens? Right in Ravens. Shout out to Ravens.
