Send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com or for the patrons You can send it directly on patreon. You ain't even got to send an email. I love y'all team keep it clean We got some great questions as we always do. Let's do it first question The starter soft came from tondra. Does it ain't graven? How are you in the fam wishing you health peace and prosperity throughout this year? I appreciate you tondra She said I had a question about the Earl Tommy situation. We haven't heard anything Yeah, nothing and these these grievances they can take a long time as we are seeing How long does it take for NFL to make a decision? Do we get the money back to help us with our cap space or not? We don't know cuz they haven't made a decision yet once they make the decision then we'll know and We either lose that what is it like 10 mil? I think something around there We the lose that money or gain that money. So it's waiting Last season I figured we wouldn't hear anything but being as though this is a new season shouldn't the NFL have made a decision by now I didn't forget about that situation things going in our favor would be so helpful to us But the NFL doesn't seem to be in our favor as history has shown. What are your thoughts? I just think that I don't know if it's on the backburn I just really don't know what the situation is with it because we have literally heard zero on the matter It'd be nice if they can come to a resolution But if not, then yeah, we just got to keep waiting Next question came from Sudary and he said ain't Raven love the channel and appreciate every video. Thank you I just wanted to share my thoughts or predictions for the Ravens on off this offseason on offense We are finally out of the wide receiver fog and have enough talent at the skills position to not seek outside help I do think our free agent target should be tight end and use the draft to add depth to our offensive line This year's draft definitely has a starter from among the offensive line prospects Yes, especially that part about the tight ends and the wide receivers to they could add maybe one receiver But yeah, they're pretty straight. They're pretty set And I feel like the type of receiver that they could add would be just so a big-body physical wide receiver But I because I feel like I'm just very scared and kind of sad about it, too But I think they're gonna trade miles working this offseason. I don't think that he's gonna be in the Ravens plans moving forward But we'll see But just a big physical guy, you know, you got miles working But I just I think that's gonna be over unfortunately, but we'll see we'll see And but as far as tight ends. Yes another tight end That can help that will help Healthy that's big because yeah, Mark. Andrew. You know, Mark Andrews. He's the best Titan in the league this year He's it we can say that he was the best Titan in the league this year. Wow But it we can get some outside help to that'd be nice, you know, Hayden Hurst He'd better be a free agent. He ain't about to be like going back there to be a backup again It'll be nice, but it just it ain't gonna happen. So yes, I agree. And of course offensive line Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes And he said on defense EDC has a history for targeting defensive linemen and free agency And I believe we will even trade for one especially with the defensive line possibly losing three Veterans the veteran past Russia is needed as well. I think draft will be used to add secondary help I've noticed the pattern of double dips in every draft and this year's candidate is cornerback. Oh Yeah, cuz you could maybe we'll see what happens with Tavon young and then we'll mark as Peters See what happens with him too But yeah, they've been doing a lot of double dipping. They've been doing a lot of double dipping whatever they take in the first round They are going to take it again In the usually in the third or fourth round, they take it again like right away Just wanted to share some thoughts without getting too specific with re-signing salary cap etc. Hey, it's all good We appreciated this speaking of receivers next question came from my guy Eric He said amen. Hope you're in a family doing great. Do you think Raven should Create better opportunities for people like Bateman crochet and other receivers I think Lamar tries too hard just to throw it to Hollywood or Andrews appreciate the content. Yeah, that that's on Lamar That's also on G-roll to because it's one thing if One of these guys is wide open or even if they went on one and they got an opportunity to make a play on the ball That's one thing But it's another guy It's another thing if these guys aren't even active on game days or they come out and make a big play or make a couple of big Plays and you look over and you see them boys chilling on the sideline So it's something that Lamar needs to work on with getting different guys involved It's also something that the coordinators need to work on with getting different guys involved So yeah, it's something that everybody can improve on next question came from Danny He said you probably answered this a million times already But what positions do you see us assessing in free agency instead of the draft? I would say defensive line and Yeah defensive line And he said and if the ball was in your hands and you could pick us any free agent Who would you take in a Y? Thank you teamkeeper clean for all the content really appreciate how you keep the whole team involved with your content Most of the time it feels like we're all chilling in the big living room chatting it up. Lol best wishes to you and the fam Stay safe appreciate that Danny If I could pick any free agent for the Ravens Hmm Any why go offense defense Well, man, I don't know what offensive linemen are gonna be out there because that will probably be the smartest thing for me to do So who depending on the offensive line, but besides offensive linemen Oh Maybe bozeman, that's a candidate right there. That's a little like a little like a little cheesy answer like oh, yeah Bozeman would but he actually would be one But now on offense maybe Alan Robinson Because he would get what I was just talking about in the previous question was get that big-body guy Yeah, Alan Robinson and we have again getting that with Rashad Bateman and Hollywood and Andrews do pro Thailand I would just I would love to have even more riches at For weapons for Lamar, but again, it's important that this offense find ways to get those guys involved So important because you have all the weapons in the world, but if you don't use them, then it's like, oh, okay I put on defense probably honey badger Honey bad cuz I feel like he Could take this defense to another level and allow them to just do more And just really take pressure off of Brandon Stevens even though he's he had been doing down the stretch He's been doing better and better, but Yeah, it would be honey badger because just his impact and what he could do for this defense and and at the safety position his smarts along with you got Marcus Peter smarts, too And you would just have that that wisdom in the secondary. So that's what I would do for the for defense Next question came from justice He said engraving with a hardball contract in Lamar contract coming up at the same time next year among others in the Future next year. We have a chance of winning a Super Bowl and when we do How do you think the Ravens will handle that situation? Hope all as well with you and the family appreciate your videos and glad to see your channel continue to grow They appreciate that justice If that happens that'd be great But if that happens, then yeah, they were just both of them will get extensions both of them for sure But I do believe that both end up playing out the last year of their deals this year because yeah Coincidentally, they both run out at the same time, but of course Ravens. They got the option to do the franchise tag with Lamar And with hardball Yeah, the only other thing you can do is next year you can't franchise tag coach You can sign up to a one-year deal, but you can't franchise tag no coach So we'll see what happens with both John hardball and Lamar Jackson next question came from Tennessee said I'm done I've seen this excellent team go to waste because of coaching players COVID and injuries for the past three years We've be in teams when all the odds were against us. We can't bring up the excuse card when it's convenient We go two steps forward ten steps back I'm nine out of ten times done with this overrated organization that should be making progress All right, so this was definitely a lot of frustration here a whole lot of frustration here So yeah, he just was fed up with the Ravens recently, but I'm sure he just needed some time to Take a breather expression came from my guy Eric He said you only great and hope you in a fam and everyone around you are doing well Like you said it ain't over till it's over and it is officially over and because of that it's time to start looking forward to the draft Every year once the season ends I like to gain some knowledge on possible prospects that could come to Baltimore But I always like to hear other people's opinions as well So my main question is what position do you think we focus on this year in the draft in my opinion? We will focus on the trenches and defensive backs two guys I like a lot Who will most likely go in the first round or Cincinnati's cornerback sauce gardener and Texas A&M offensive linemen? Kenyan green as they are both an almost perfect fit with the team so What do I think the Ravens are gonna focus on what position do I focus on this year in the draft? Yeah, offense and defensive line, but definitely offensive line offensive line more than defensive line But a little bit of both And I think the one that they will take earlier. It could really be either one But just getting not just depth not just depth but quality Depth and possible starters too because you just you you never know And he said my second question is do you think we will package a couple of what seems like a thousand picks? For another first rounder or a star player like Marcus May or Calvin Ridley or Jonathan That would be nice or or Jonathan Allen Um That'd be nice I would love if they did that because instead of trying to hoard so many picks and get all these projects and stuff I wouldn't mind them trading up get another first round again Just trading up for significant a significant player that you know is gonna come in and make an impact right away Somebody that you got big plans for right away Because all this yeah. Oh, yeah, we got 10 fifth round draft picks. That's cool But you can end up cutting a lot of these guys like you did last year too But everybody ain't gonna make it that just cuz you draft and don't mean they're gonna make the team Especially if they come in the fifth or later. It ain't nothing set in stone But I would love if they got even more aggressive and trade it up Like you significantly up to really get Somebody that can come in and and they could it could make a big impact whether that be for a cornerback Whether whether be for whatever really man, I would love that or if it were for a player to if it were for a player No problem. I would love that as well. I would love just get stronger Anyway, you can and stop stop working on all these projects. It's not the science fair It's not anyway. I hope you have a great rest of your day And just like I hope the Ravens aren't when it comes to the playoffs next year. I'm out Appreciate it. Next question came from my guy George setting Ravens off comment on a few videos But I haven't seen in a question a while. So I hope you're in a family. Good love team. Keep it clean I believe Roman needs to go but Hobbs you talk about changing philosophy and not wasting their strength So my question is I believe Hobbs should be coach of the year doing what we're doing what he has done with all the injuries I love Lamar, but do you believe his passing skill set is ready for the change? We have more weapons than ever before Hollywood Andrews Bateman I mean, maybe the best trio that we ever shall see I don't know about that part But it they do got a nice little squad But has Lamar matured to the point where as a team we can do the change without taking a step back. Yeah Yeah Yes Yes, and as far as Hobbo for coach of the year earlier in the season It was looking like oh maybe but then when Lamar went out it was looking like oh crazy. So now I You see like what the big difference is So yeah, I coached a year no Especially with a lot of the decisions that were made down the stretch. Oh boy Oh, but anyway, he said I believe in Lamar and love Lamar, but is he ready for that? I think he will be but not sure he is yet So what like what what should they what should they do if if he isn't ready for it Or why wouldn't he be ready for it? Like the this change of philosophy you it would it would force him to be ready for and even though I feel like he'd ready already It would it would help the Ravens so much man It would help the Ravens so much and allow them to actually advance and and move forward. Oh Man, it would do wonders for the Ravens. He said afraid if he isn't ready The haters will come out even more Than after this season saying we straight away from what worked and Lamar and Hobbes need to go I feel like it's unfair to put the extra pressure on them and changing instead of letting them mature and seeing where the team Is headed once healthy again and reevaluate. Love Lamar. Keep Hobbes and Roman. Thank you, but goodbye. Oh Hold up. He said love Lamar comma keep Hobbes comma and Roman. Thank you, but goodbye Okay, I get it now keep the positive coming keep the positivity coming love the veers and your insight appreciate that George but yeah Philosophy change I think is necessary for this team to really get to where they need to go if They they seem to be so comfortable. Yeah with this Greg Roman scheme and Greg Roman as an introductory OC great job. Thank you Thank you But a that okay. Thanks. Like you you say goodbye But again, it's an if we're Greg Roman goals. Goodbye, then if we still got that same philosophy That old school football philosophy Then it's gonna be the same old stuff And if you like the as far as the philosophy and the changing though the way that they operate the way that they do especially one offense It's not a bad thing change does not have to be a bad thing Especially if you don't want to just keep them in their comfort zone. They got to get out of this That that that old school football mentality it let it go Let it go open up this passing game man And again, you get a healthy team back next year your run game ain't going nowhere. You're gonna be able to run the ball the running because It's not it's really not Gonna be fine And then you you got all these weapons like if you if you still wanted that old school football approach run heavy run heavy run heavy run heavy Then why are you getting all these receivers for what? Why are you getting all these passcatchers for what was the point? Just just get a bunch of offensive linemen you should if this is gonna be your approach You should have the bare minimum at receiver. What do you have to have like four or five on the team? I mean, no, maybe you have to have said I forgot how many you have to have But have the bare minimum at receiver since you don't want to pass the ball that much and just get a bunch of old Offensive linemen and a bunch of full backs and a bunch of running backs. No man Ain't nobody on that man. They need to open this thing up man Lamar is ready the Ravens are ready You you see the frustration in Rashad Bateman when he's out there on the field You see Hollywood frustration when he's out there on the field Manjules he getting here. So he like I'm straight to forget about the rest of y'all man I'm good, but you see it man, you know approach they could do You know, you know a dover they could do but if they would only like using like these these guys not getting used to Their strengths man, and it's killing them man It's killing them. They're not getting used to their strengths So until we adapt a change the philosophy to that's gonna really use these players to their strengths Use Bateman as a 50-50 guy. I mean you could throw the Bateman anytime be open all the time Hollywood is your deep threat and he gotta you gotta work on that catching that to me Hey Hollywood come on Mark Andrews is see everything But do they could be using a quick passing game in a short passing game in a screen game Pro shade another 50-50 guy, but hands crazy reliable. It'll be a nice third down target nice possession receiver Tylen Wallace physical wire receiver. It's physicality is very underrated very underrated So in here go get it Next question came from my guy Diego. He said, I think it's time to let our edge guys eat I hope you and your family are doing well in Graven Shout out to you for working so hard to bring us Raven's content despite these very painful times Hey, but just something to think about Yes, the Raven season is painful, but just to put everything in the perspective It's a lot more pain that goes out goes on outside of football than it does from within But anyway, he said it with the recent news that wink Mardel is receiving quite a bit of interest for head coaching jobs What interests I what interest had that I ain't seen nothing. I haven't seen heard anything Nothing, I don't know what you're talking about as of right now What's this you sent this on January 13th? It's January 17th right now Monday. It is 12 o 3 p.m I have not heard of one single team interested in wink as a head coach So I'm not sure of you on the same page But anyway, he said, uh, I think that this is a perfect situation for the Ravens to be in I have never been a fan of wink scheme because of how much it exposes our corn effects if wink does end up taking a head coaching job I think it's time we hire defensive coordinator that will let our edge rushes eat that part I agree with 1000% because this is not the scheme for them to eat any edge guys You're not gonna get a bunch of sacks here and if you do. Oh, wow, you are just you are an amazing player He just I think he just asked a lot of guys to do too much He just asked everybody to do too much and At least it's so much confusion. You see so many guys the pre snap like what do we do? You see them having a whole bunch of conversations when the the offense on the opposing team getting ready to hike the ball And it's like man, like it just guys are just so confused. They like man What what do we do? They just don't know so many times man But anyway, he said I want to see away in Bowser each double digit sacks And it's kind of sad to think that will never happen under Wink scheme. It won't I mean, he's he said he said sacks are overrated Right. He said that sacks are overrated So yeah, man, what do you think about this situation when we keep up the good work? We all appreciate you so much. No, I appreciate y'all, man And that's a really good question Good observation Um But yeah, I oh man, if I know he's trying to be a head coach But if Brian Flores could come here be the defensive court. I said, oh, I'll be so happy man. I'll be so happy But yeah, we're Wink. It's just he is like he has his personality. He has his scheme and that that's who he is That's who he isn't that's what it's that's what he's gonna be But yeah, if he got a head coaching job opportunity, that'd be great. That'd be great that'd be great for him And I think yeah, it could be good for the Ravens, too But yeah, we I just really haven't heard anything though. Next question came from Sabri So what's good in grave and hope you in the family blessed and well this Raven season was a roller coaster of a season You ain't lying. It wasn't the season that we hope for and a big part of that are the injuries If you able to use one word to describe this season, what would it be? Thanks for all that you do And I wish you and your fam the best stressful insanity crazy wild Yikes Pain Dramatic next question came from my guy Wesley. He said, what's up, brother? Keep up the good work and join the content despite a rough end of the season for the Ravens I always be Ravens nation no matter what just got a quick question for you Am I the only one that's gonna miss Sam cook? I feel like not many people talk about him or value him I know punters aren't valued as much in the NFL But he's always been consistent and helped out our special teams. Do you think he retired once his contract is up? He's gonna be turning 40 in August. Oh, I didn't know that. Hmm. Let's say Good observation. And yeah, he he certainly yeah, he gave you so much consistency at the punter position and Ravens like Raven with their special teams players like Justin Tucker Sam cook Especially Sam cook. I think a lot of Ravens a lot of us Ravens fans can really like Not really realize how good a good punner is of course You don't ever want the punter to be used because you don't want to punt the ball You want to be scoring touchdowns touchdown touchdowns, but they don't work like that So for a punter to be able to help your defense and put them in a good position To pin teams back inside the 20 by kicking the ball through the year. That's that's a skill right there That's a skill. Sometimes we'll go to the park. I take the football and I try to pump myself I'm like, man, how does he do this? How do you punt like like that? That's something right there But yeah, Sam cook hopefully whenever they do transition from Sam cook to whoever's next That person can come in and they're gonna have like They're gonna have a little bit of pressure on them. They're gonna have some pressure on them To follow when Sam cooks footsteps and that's gonna be something that's tough to live up to But hopefully they won't have to get used too much because we'll be scoring a bunch of touchdowns Next question came from my guy Edgar. He said ain't great And hope you and the family team keep it clean and doing well But what would you think if the Ravens traded Tyler Huntley to the Saints because you know You know, we were very intertwined with them Plus that would give him a great situation to start Also, he would have a great coaching staff behind him. All those all of those things are true Um, they do have James Winston. I think what they signed him to a one-year deal or something different I don't even remember the kind of contract that he has right now But he would be in competition with him Um, and then taste some here too, but he'd be in competition with James Winston. Uh, so yeah, that would be a great Oh, that would be a great stitch. I would love that for Tyler Huntley. I would love that for him They would show him so much love too Oh, man, that that would be great. I that that's like exciting just to think about but I don't think that he can be traded next year um Or this offseason or whatever But that I I would love that if he ended up in New Orleans I got a chance to start next question came from my guy Eric He said, uh, do you think with the loss to the Steelers that the Ravens will get a new offensive coordinator? Because I feel like we definitely need one. No, I don't I don't um think everybody just get the pass this year And they won't change offensive coordinators and the last question on this episode came from my guy Eugene He said, what's up in graven? Hope everything is well with you. I know I may get backlash about this But oh well, I feel like the Ravens won't win another Super Bowl under this coaching staff I think you get a little backlash, but not really too much Uh a change within needs to change ASAP. We need a head coach That's not just a player friendly coach, but they also need someone that will chew them out when things are not done For example, uh, Nick Saban or the coach from Georgia. Those guys are the type that we need He didn't say those coaches. He said those types because you know, some people they like to Try to take something that you said and try to twist it or something like that He said those types that a true player or true a coach out when they ain't doing the right thing Um, now how about we'll do that sometimes? He it depends on who it is. It all depends on who you are if you're Lamar talk to you whatever But he ain't gonna chew you out if if you Are a tight sound Williams He'd chew you out to put you on blast if you are chris westerie. He'll get you you out. Um It it just it depends on who you are If you're gonna get chewed out or not. Anyway, he said, um, g rose offense isn't wire receiver friendly But when it comes to the run he excels at it I understand we had injuries this year But that's just part of the game and it's up to the front office to find someone to fill in That's at least as good as their starter. That's tough now That's tough because your starters you started for a reason You started some one of the best of the best players on the team at that particular position So that's really tough and and there's a reason why Some guys are free agents and some are not now saying that every free agent is a bad player or they not a good player but They're not on a team and they're not on your team So you felt like the guys on your team were the best at that position and the best for your team So that's why they're your starters But anyway, he said There is not one that defenses should know we are going to go to andrew's all the time sometimes I've seen three people covering her Yeah, that's a lot with decision-making right there with lamar would huntly there's a lot but they they've got a huge trust big trust For mark andrew so they will give it to him in literally any situation And with defenses and with this defense the pass rush is a big question mark. I mean sure To have those top corners would have made a difference, but I'm gonna say one last thing again We won't win another super bowl with this coaching staff. Yeah, the pass rush getting to the quarterback Is always going to be a concern under wings defense. That's just his defense. That's how it is Um, so you hope for better you want better But as long as wink is the defensive coordinator, he's not all bad now He's definitely not all bad But as far as getting to the quarterback, it's always going to be an issue Um, but you hope that um, you just hope that going into next season if he's going to be here I expect him to be here. I expect all three like head coach both coordinators to both be here Or all three coordinators special teams to um, but I expect that to still be a problem I one thing with wink is that you just hope that adjustments are made earlier and he doesn't wait till All right, I'm down to my last as far as players to then start making adjustments. Let's let's make the adjustments early on Early in the season. You see something's not working. Okay. You know what? Let me change that But I'm just worried because this this coaching staff They have a lot of um, they can be very arrogant. Um, and or stubborn or setting their ways And they'd be like, hey, we've been doing it this way for a certain amount of time. Hey, this is all way This is what what works and if it's not working, then there's that lack of adjustment It's like, hey, come on now. It's not working. Let's change some things up That would be one of the biggest things since this coaching staff is going to remain intact That would be something that I would love to see from all three of them From Harbaugh and Greg Roman from Wink Let's make adjustments and let's not be setting always
