It's all good, man. I appreciate y'all I love y'all on today's episode. We got a very very special guest Let me let him introduce himself to you keep it clean on this episode of NFL questions from subs I'm joined by Harrington from flock block and how just to jump straight into it How did you get started doing YouTube and what made you want to do YouTube? Well for me what inspired me was just my love for for the Ravens You know, I have a lot of friends and we talked football a lot and you know Kind of joke with me and tell me hey, you know, you talked to us about the Ravens way too much And you know, they got tired of hearing me ran about the Ravens all the time So, you know, they just suggested that I start a YouTube channel and also watching other youtubers like like you and Ttb and other really good youtubers You know had YouTube channels. I thought, you know, why not give it a try So I just always like voicing my opinions about the Ravens and and giving my insight as far as what I know So, you know, it's just something that's been a hobby of mine and I've really enjoyed it so far Cool and what's been your favorite part about it? My favorite part about it is just, you know interacting with the fans and you know, just seeing what what the fans are into From you know, what's going on now and also what happened in the past as far as you know The Ravens you know past Ravens games, you know, you know all the good parts and all the bad parts And I think that one of the things I really enjoy is that just being around people that think like me as far as, you know a fan experience and a lot of times when you are a fan of a team and you're around other people that might not Like the same team as you it's like you're in your own world. So, you know, it's like I really enjoy being around other people And talking to them and and you know seeing that they think just like me as far as how highly we view our team All right, cool, man. And where can everybody find you at as far as Twitter Instagram YouTube let everybody know where they can find you Yeah, so right now. I'm on Twitter. Um, so you just at the flop flop on Twitter and You guys can always DM me or email me questions as well anytime you guys want to find out information about the channel and also ask questions on the channel and You know, we'll go through it on each and every episode So right now just mostly on Twitter just trying to stay interactive on YouTube and Twitter for the long Okay, all right now leave links to all of that stuff down below in the description So without further ado, we got some good questions like we always do. So let's do it first question Came from a boy. Will he say we're back, baby So I was high on the Ravens taking a safety early in the draft. They didn't they love what they got in Elliot and Clark I really hope I'm wrong about Ellie and the clock and that they both show out this year and one of them If not both can get to that pro bow level or all pro level a man can dream But man, can we get a few interceptions from the safety position this year? Geno stone. He had more interceptions in one preseason game You probably talked about this on another video, but it would not be surprised me at all If Brandon Stevens is getting starter reps this year and is a starter next year He's not the project people are saying he is and I got a hot take Stevens start splitting reps with Elliot. Oh, I would say Clark But Clark is calling the plays with the dot must I remind you of that play against the Steelers when Clark was in great position Clearly, I care way too much about the safety position when the problem is and has been forever The wide receiver position get healthy Bateman in Hollywood and hashtag team keep it clean all love to you and your fan I appreciate it. Will so Um Man the safety's the Sean Elliott Chuck Clark and he said he wouldn't even be surprised at Brandon Steven gets starting reps this year Just to get into it. I wouldn't be surprised either, but I think they would put him in on some packages I don't think he's gonna take away reps from the Sean Elliott I don't think he's gonna take away from Chuck Clark I think that they would have him in some form some fashion on the field Just like they did in the preseason game But this time it would be more with with with other starters out there on defense too. What about you? How you feel about the safety is going into this year? Well, yeah, I think the safety is going to this year We're in a good position What I when they drafted Brandon steams SMU I did anticipate that being part of the plan Maybe not right now, but at some point in the future or later on, you know In the next few seasons because of his speed and his athleticism what he can do So, you know, we talked about long-term plans for Chuck Clark and the Sean Elliott They're both very good safeties and we do like to see him We want to see him get turnovers as well and you know us Ravens fans We've been used to seeing Ed Reed in the past and sometimes even Eric What will get their fair share of interceptions so to not see it from the safety position is kind of weird But hopefully we can work towards that. But some of these younger guys, you know Like Brandon Steve Brandon Stevens We can get him in there and rotate in safety and get some snaps in there Obviously not too many snaps, but you know, I think that that's definitely a possibility you have to explore Especially when the Sean Elliott Chuck Clark We start looking at when these other guys get paid, you know What's that honestly might be one of the biggest decisions is what safeties are we're gonna be able to keep? You know, we'll keep the Sean Elliott. What's gonna be long-term plan for Chuck Clark? Can we work something out and try to fit some of these younger guys into the safety rotation? So I really think that this is a it's a really really good question because you know We want to see what's know what the young guys have to offer and like I said, you know stone This is the guy that really came in last year got draft out. I wore It's caught off the team and they get rocket back onto the team. He's really making a name for himself So hopefully he can you know show, you know, how useful he can be as the preseason and the regular season approaches Right and you made a real good point about the um about the pay the Chuck Clark is he's on his second contract right now But the Sean Elliott, he's on the last year of his deal So this could be what I mean It is a make or break season for the Sean Elliott as far as cashing in whether he prices himself out of the Ravens Well, whatever they will want to give him if they want to give him something or If he plays reasonably this year and they can still keep his contract Not to a minimum or whatnot, but it isn't some crazy crazy deal. Yeah And also with Chuck Clark With what will mentioned about him having a green dot I really do think that this is gonna be Chuck Clark's last season with the green dot Not because he does a bad job at it because he obviously doesn't but I think they're gonna want to transition that green dot to Patrick Queen and I think they not that they would have done it last year I think maybe even possibly this year They may have done it if last year was a regular year, but of course last year with the pandemic and everything The rookies didn't have a regular offseason. So that kind of slowed up the progress of all of the rookies and really the entire team But I think that Chuck Clark's days with the green dot their number and again not in a bad way against Chuck Clark But more so a positive for Patrick Queen. Yeah, that makes sense because you know last year We didn't have a lot training camp and a lot of the typical practice that we did This year and in any other normal year We didn't have that last year for the rookies and we didn't really get to see them take that developmental step Chuck Clark his football acumen his football IQ obviously really good But you know, I wouldn't be surprised if Patrick Queen did get that green dot because in the 2019 season We didn't really have a you know a strong strong linebacker and a young linebacker like he is that was able to control the Feel like that since you know, we had CJ and mostly obviously mostly price himself out of Baltimore So if we can get somebody in the middle of that defense to where the green dot and com patrol the rest of the defense That'd be good. So hopefully Patrick Queen can be that guy next question came from my guy Dylan J Today engraving my name is Dylan and I'm the first time a question asked love the videos though Appreciate it. Anyways, haven't heard a ton on the Ben Mason front. This idea could have been tossed around before But what do you think about Ben Mason assuming the fullback roll 100% in order to give record more snaps at defensive tackle and defensive in I don't think Ben Mason is safe on the practice squad I'll let you start with this one. So how how you feel about Ben Mason? What you think he's gonna do if that's a viable option having him as a fullback 1000% of the time and record taking snaps on defense Oh, well, I know John Harbaugh loves his Michigan guys. So, um, he's gonna try to get Ben Mason in there Um, uh, for me, I think kind of go with the same routine try to get him to do so many different things on this team special teams Having get some rotations on defense if you can and then you know try to fit him in a position where he can You know be of use if it's tight end and maybe tie it in if it's fullback. It's fullback I feel like right now He's the type of player that in my opinion can be playing positionless football And what I mean by that is is that he can you know with his athleticism and his you know His toughness we always hear about how tough he is how scrappy he is and how rough and physical he is You know, if he can come in there and play positionless football and just you know provide a service to whatever Um, red roman needs him or don martin dill or or or or john hallborn needs him On no matter where he is on the team if he can just be uh useful on the team And not have a set position You know, we might figure out what is the right fit for him because we didn't know what the right fit for patrick rickard Was going to be early in his career, but now he seems outstanding fullback one of the best fullbacks We have maybe the best fullback we have and he had I fell with him and you know, kaw use check in san francisco So I think um, you know right now just try to see what he can provide to the team You know, he seems like a very good football player I have to go back and look at some of the other things he does well from miss michigan state But he's a very very good football player and you know, he puts a lot of effort and you know, he um Very physical. So that's one thing I like about ben mason is that he seems like he does feel like a raven And that's important that he does that but I don't think he's going to be playing like a raven this year I think that he is actually going to be a stashed player I think that they're going to end up putting him on injury reserve I don't think they would put him on a practice squad, but I think they'll put him on injury reserve So they can hold him down Until next year because next year We are we find ourselves back in this position again back in this situation again So where our fullback who we love who we appreciate Um is in the final year of his contract. That's your record. His deal is coming up Remember last time this happened with juice We love juice love cow use check Yeah, man, but then ravens were like, hey, thank you, but we we're gonna go in a different direction and One thing that I think about especially uh with the additions of sammy walkins and them double dipping With rashaah bateman and tylen wireless um They the ravens seem to be going to more of a passing office not that they're gonna get rid of the run Because I don't expect them to get rid of run at all But they seem to really be taking a turn to be doing a lot more passing And while ricard he does have um He has reliable hands He doesn't get many passes thrown his way But when the when passes are thrown his way he catches the ball Great block of very physical and yet he can play on defense as well Almost think that ravens with the ben mason pick. It was a move for the future To where they have a guy in place who they feel could be their next fullback And he will be a lot cheaper than patrick ricard Because this would if they whatever patrick ricard gets next from whoever it is It'll be his third contract. So a rookie. What was ben mason? Oh, was he a fifth rounder? I forgot what round he got picked in I think he was in the fifth round Yeah, I think I think it was but yeah, I don't I don't remember either but um Regardless, whatever round he was picked in I know it was fifth or lower But his contract is a lot cheaper Then what patrick ricard's third contract would be and then On top of that I anticipate that even this year patrick ricard not necessarily will be phased out of the offense But he'll be used Less than he was and then he has been Over the past two years, especially with them transitioning to doing a lot more passing Yeah, yeah, and this is all goes down to football and how to build, you know, the best team for the long run Obviously when you know, we hadn't seen these contracts with lamar and And mark angius and some of these other guys and we start to build the rest of our team and pour money into different assets Some players are going to outpress, you know and and move on to other teams and air decossing You know seems like the gm that doesn't want to overpay for certain positions that he feels like may be expendable and But the bottom line in the nfl, you know, because the full back position It's it's it's even more expendable than the running back position So we saw what happened with the running backs of mark angry a great year in 2019 and boom just like that 2020 now he's on the on the team Um, and you know, we're you know, we're trying to get younger running back and also trying to get younger at full Back so we can make sure to you know, have enough money to put in places where we need it in the long run So I do like that perspective. Um, so you know As far as van mason trying to you stashed away for this year and then having been used as an asset at full back For seasons to come so see and um, and you brought up a really good point that I didn't even think of and wasn't even thinking about But yeah, it makes even more sense why it may be a little bit harder to retain Of a patrick rickard especially going into what will be his third contract And that would be uh, the fact that you are getting ready to pay lamar jackson. You are getting ready to pay mark angry's Right Ronnie stanley and marlin humphrey their money's gonna keep kicking up And you you got some other deals to to dish out So when you look at all the deals that you're you're paying already in the deals that you're gonna have to pay Then that's when you look to see Is this investment really worth it? Are we really getting ready to pay a full back On his third contract or we really getting ready to pay him that money when we got this guy that we drafted who can play full back as well So appreciate you bringing them points up about the contracts coming up Or definitely next question came from my boy. Wyatt p today engraving My name is white and i'm a huge fan of your youtube channel and conceded consider you to be the best ravens youtube I don't know about all that part, but i appreciated me because i don't know you probably get a ton of questions It may value uh patreons more, but i really want to know your thoughts on this after watching the pre season It is evident that we really need a true Back-up quarterback. Huntley is good, but will not get us to the playoffs I was looking at qb free agency next year and sergeant coby brissette and marquis mariota are available How would you feel about bringing in one of those guys or possibly someone else? well, um When you well at least for me in my opinion when you think about a backup quarterback And in our situation lamar jackson is obviously the starter. That's the guy Yeah, when you think of a backup quarterback and you think about the offense that the ravens run Uh in your backup quarterback, you want somebody that can run that same type of offense and you want it to be a minimal drop off Uh when that backup quarterback comes in obviously you don't want the backup quarterback in unless it's a blowout game But you want there to be a minimal drop off if he has to come in And when you think about tyler huntley versus jacoby brissette versus marquis mariota Who would fit that offense the best? My opinion would be tyler huntley, uh because he has the arm and yeah, he's young super young last year He was an undrafted rookie free agent. So this is his second year in the nfl Those guys obviously have experience over him But he's in the perfect system for him because he is like From the hair to both being from down here To just the even the way that like his charisma on the field It's just so many similarities with him and lamar jackson. It's crazy when you watch it Like if he were to put on a number eight jersey Yeah, you'll probably think it's more Lamar jackson. Yeah They do um, their release is a little bit different now when they throw the ball and lamar's obviously Faster than tyler huntley and got a little more twitch to him But still tyler huntley is the closest thing to lamar and definitely closer than marquis mariota and a jacoby brissette so I um I honestly think like again Hopefully we don't have to get to that but I think tyler huntley would do fine if If we had to roll with him for a certain amount of time. Is he lamar? No He's not lamar, but can we expect him to be lamar? No, but all these other guys lamar jacoby brissette and marquis mariota. No like and and I know you said that um Huntley is good, but he will not get us to the playoffs when you look at these guys when they were starters They didn't get their team to the playoffs if you look at jacoby brissette what he did with the coats He got kicked out of the coats for a reason and then you look at marquis mariota Still was a number two Overall, yeah for the titans and look where he's at now fighting for a backup spot where I think the raiders So no, I would roll roll with huntley for this one. What about you? Yeah, I'm not particularly a big fan of of going to free agency to get a backup quarterback I just like what we have a chase mix to other when I went to the game on Saturday He didn't look all that impressive. Um, you know in his uh in his snaps I did like what I see. I like what I saw from um from tyler huntley Like you say he looks like an exact, you know, he looks like lamar jackson from the air You know from the air and from everything he's doing. Um, I think I don't know maybe run like a 444 540 Coming out of utah, um, you know, he's very fast Obviously not the throw of lamar jackson is but you know if he can just become more comfortable throwing the ball This is my you might have a really good backup quarterback in our hands And I think that he's a really good guy that we could have that knows the offense knows the system And just has that continuity in relationship with the rest of the players on the team So, you know, we just need him to continue to learn grow and build and he's got the speed and If we're ever in games and hopefully like you said, we don't get in that position If we're ever in games where, um, you know We need to come in and run the offense We can do something primarily run based and that would definitely be beneficial to us because he knows He knows the system and you know, I don't think marcus mario will be a good fit because he doesn't really have the speed And also what is he like as a thrower? Um, and like I said also with jacobo brisette, we know he doesn't have the speed and um, you know, he Might be a little bit better of a thrower than mario and maybe even huntly But like I said, I'd rather have somebody that knows our team knows our system knows our players and understands You know, um what it means to win for this team So I want to stick with huntly and and you know chase mix early He may not be able to prove himself for the rest of the pre-season, but you know, you can always use a quarterback through just for depth purposes
