We got some great great great questions. Like always let's start off with the big man And I ain't talking about me the first question came from BB I said I just want to start by saying I appreciate this channel and the team keep it clean family I appreciate you I said bro Ravens got to be thinking about trading up to get Jordan Davis with the defensive line as it is in Rebuild mode this offseason. He would be a serious plug-and-play player Ravens have the draft capital to make this happen There's no excuse this upcoming season. Oh, so you think they would have to trade up to get him I don't know he um I Like this question when I first saw it. I was like, all right. It's time to watch some film Um, so literally this morning What was today March 8th? Yeah This morning I was up watching film on Jordan Davis and I'm gonna tell y'all what I saw First let's get into his measurables though 6 6 340 pounds That's a that's a big boy. He made me feel small that like I'm thinking like if I'm a defensive player On Georgia where I'm on a d-liner. I'm a linebacker even a cornerback or whatever and I'm I'm in the mix making a tackle And I'm tackling say a running back for example I'm tackling the running back in the running back sort of he's starting to fall down a little bit But he ain't going down all the way. I'm holding his legs though So he ain't going nowhere Then I see number 99 Jordan Davis coming running over there to help with the tackle I'm letting go and I'm getting up and I'm running out the way that is a big guy He was huge now when you look at his numbers Because before we get into all what from what I saw on film. Let's go over his numbers 2018 He got one and a half sacks one and a half tackles for a loss 2019 he got four tackles for a loss in two and a half sacks. So he upped everything 2020 he got one tackle for a loss in one sack 2021 He got five tackles for a loss in two sacks So when you look at those numbers It's not anything that's eye popping, but at the same time He's a defensive tackle. He's an interior defensive lineman. So you wouldn't expect like he's not Aaron Donald So you wouldn't expect his numbers to be crazy like that, but his impact Is what's crazy. So what I saw from him on on film Is something that the ravens have been missing since Lodi nada Because with they they got brandon williams brandon williams was I don't even know not even necessarily the Lodi nada replacement But he was just the next guy up at interior defensive line But they have been missing a disruptive guy And not just a run stopper, but somebody who can be disruptive In the middle of that defensive line. They've been missing that for a while Of course, they traded for kalaeus cambo, but he's on the back end of his career Um, and he made some plays for sure, but again, he's on the back end jordan davis Obviously a young guy. He would be a rookie But somebody like him Would in my opinion do wonders for the defense Really, um, and and I think with wink had a wink had somebody like him Then I think wink would still be here right now or probably be a head coach somewhere Because with wink, um, I think one of the reasons why he blits so many people Why he would send corners send linebackers He would even send coaches on blitzes is because he like man I cannot create any type of interior pressure whatsoever. I just don't have the guys to do it So, you know what? I'm sending everybody else I'm sending everybody else But if he had somebody that could create interior pressure, it would make such a big difference now Um, I'm not saying that jordan davis is lodey night because I don't know I don't know about all that yet Even though I did see some players because I watched the film that I watched I watched games for him against Clemson Alabama and florida Um, so and I did see on one of in one of those games. I forgot which one They had him lined up like sort of at left tackle It was a goal line play in the running back. They handed off to the running back But they had him lined up On the offensive line in that goal line package and he pushed because I mean, obviously he's a defensive line He ain't afraid to initiate to initiate contact. So that's a beautiful thing. Um, but That just really reminded me of lodey and again, we've been missing that And and when you have somebody that a good interior defensive lineman A disruptive one because we have not had that in so long But when you have that it literally makes everybody's job that much easier that much easier Your linebackers they can run a little bit more free. Remember Ray Lewis was the one that said he told the ravens. He said look Hey You need to you need to give me some help up front You need to give me some help up front. What happened the ravens got him that help up front with lodey nighta It makes his job that much easier because he gets to run free To those quarterbacks. He gets to run free to those running backs He gets to just be more free in open space like running like a happy gazelle gazelle or something So that made Ray Lewis so happy that made all of us happy too. It's like, oh, let's go But it could be the same thing for ravens linebackers. Whoever they will end up being in the 2022 season He also helps with obviously the pass rush because this guy is so Just his body itself is just so dominant It's going to take From the film that I saw if it's one guy blocking them every now and then that one guy's gonna win But usually it takes two it takes two and sometimes there will be three guys blocking So it's not going to just be one of those things where uh, all right We got two guys blocking him, but you you can't have two guys blocking every defensive lineman know so With him and just his his size and and he's actually he can be kind of a little nimble on his feet He could be quicker on his feet then then he looks because I remember just looking at him I'm like, whoa, this dude is he is huge But then I watched him how he uses hands and stuff, especially on passing downs. I was like, okay, man I did not expect that but I wasn't mad at it either. Um, but He would open stuff up that much more For in a daffy away for a tires bowser dylan haze or whoever it's going to be On on the uh on the edge That's still to be determined because with tires bowser's injury and Pernel McPhee probably gone jaylen ferguson. We'll see what happens with him and just a lot of question marks there right now but He would make everybody's job easier the cornerbacks the secondary Again, if you can get pressure And think about this too The pressure's not always just going to come from him But he can help other guys get pressure too Because if you have multiple offensive linemen committed to blocking jordan davis, then it's like, all right That will allow somebody else to be one on one because we saw a lot of times when a daffy away He would be double teamed. I know I know y'all remember. Um, but hey You had to tell jordan davis if they did get him you you can't get 99 big fella Sorry, even though jordan davis would probably look at a daffy away Like hey come up off of that 99, but a daffy away. He big too. He ain't jordan davis big But a daffy away probably be like nope But anyway another story for another day. Um So he he would open stuff up For the pass rush for the pressure from other guys too Again secondary the cornerbacks They would not have to cover as long because if jordan davis isn't isn't applying pressure Then it would be being applied from the edge guys So it just it would help everybody out Now, um, some good that I saw from him when teams tried to run in his direction If he was not being doubled and a lot of times triple team Then that run wasn't going anywhere even a lot of times where he was being he was being double team Because again that double team he takes on those blockers and that lets everybody else eat Let's everybody else eat So a linebacker could come free another defensive lineman next to him could come and get that uh that running back down It helps so much Um, some other stuff that I saw from him Uh, just again the pressure. Oh pat on passing downs because that would be a concern of mine It's like all right, if you're gonna draft the guy in the first round He ain't about to be no first and second down player Nope No, no, no, you're not drafting a defensive lineman to be a first and second down playing You take him off the field on third that no But I did see him On a lot of passing downs Saw him on a lot of passing down So that was a good thing and I would think like ravens would not use a first round draft pick on a part-time player At least I would hope not Um, so yeah, it would be expected that he would be in every down Defensive lineman um Some concerns that I would have um would be What would happen if he would if he got thrown off balance or something If he lost his balance fell to the ground how quickly could he recover now? Of course, you all you obviously have 10 other guys on the field too Um, but how quickly could he recover with if he fell and he was down would that completely take him out of the play? And I mean football the plays they go by like this Um, so you can say that really about any player, but with him just being so like big like huge How would that work? um as far as his recovery his recovery speed his um What's the best way to put it like if he's say for instance, he's rushing it's a passing play He's rushing a passer And he rushes a little bit to up upfield downfield or whatever he goes past the quarterback How quickly can he turn his body and recover? To sort of try to make up for all that yardage that he went past the quarterback for if you get what I mean I don't know if I explain that right um, but that that's just those would just be my main concerns Uh, and really my yeah my biggest concerns would be how much control Would he have over his body now when I watched it from the games that I did watch? I told George just it was Clemson uh, Georgia I'm not not Georgia that he plays for Georgia was Clemson The Gators and alabama those are games that I watched and from those it did not seem like he had bad body control at all Um, so it does not seem like the the body control should be an issue And then with him going from the coaches at Georgia to nfl coaches And then of course being around nfl players too that should help him even more um, so if if the Ravens would have dragged him I wouldn't be mad I know I know a lot of people would be mad. There'll be a lot of people that would be happy I know my god Jake. I know he would love it because that Jake is a Georgia guy, but um I would not be mad because I could see what they were doing now My god BB. He talked about them possibly needing to move up Um, I don't know if they would need to I don't know I would I have to take a look at uh everybody that's picking ahead of them But for a defensive tackle, let's see just like really really dying like he's just really really like that Um, then there will be a possibility, but I don't know I don't think they would really have to move up for a defensive tackle But again, I it would depend on who's picking ahead of them Um, but yeah, this will be a draft pick that I would not be mad at at all If the Ravens did pick him Um, because it's something that would just again makes everybody's job that much easier And and I'm all for that. I'm all for making everybody's job that much easier not making it harder So Oh that that that dude he he is huge He he his size on the field is crazy His impact on the game Is is big so you would just obviously hope that it translates to the NFL as well And you think about it like he's already NFL size It ain't like he's one of these players. Oh man, you got to put on some weight for the NFL No, you No, you you straight you you're good now You you you can match up with NFL offensive linemen all day, man So we'll see how it goes next question came from my god field and appreciate you being a patron He said in this year's draft I know the main focus is to rebuild our offensive and defensive lines along with our secondary now I have seen many mock drafts from sports analysts continually bringing up three certain names center, uh, lindenbaum from Iowa Offensive tackle pinning uh or pass rusher david a job for mission now engraving if you were baltimore's gm Which one of these three would you take uh in the first round? um If I had to choose out of those three I would probably take uh Hmm lindenbaum pinning or a job oh uh I'll probably take a job. Oh Out of those three. I'll probably take a job. Oh um and more so with the uh With the uncertainty of not only tires bowser, but the uns there's uncertainty of bowser Uh haze and just in houston and pernabic fee. Um, there's a lot of uncertainty there now I know you could easily say oh, but there's a lot of uncertainty at offensive line And yes, there certainly is you would not be lying about that um But I would hopefully have addressed that uh in free agency too um and get some guys that like already Uh, and then of course, there's still the second round too. Like again as far as offensive lineman There's not only one round Uh, and I know a lot of people are getting caught up in that and a lot there's been a lot of backing forth Like oh when the raven should take somebody should take a uh Offensive lineman and I mean I feel like you couldn't Necessarily go wrong with either one of those three, but yeah, I would probably say a job Next question came from my boy Marco and appreciate you being a patron. He said what's good in graven Hopefully you're in the family doing good. Oh, yeah, we're doing real good. Appreciate that Do you think it will be in the best interest of both the ravens and lemar to sign a three year 45 to 48 million dollar deal This way the ravens can adjust it So the cap hit isn't much Lamar gets a short but lucrative deal with the potential of signing an even bigger deal after three years And lastly ravens can evaluate their court with a quarterback and money in three years without signing him to a super Long expensive deal. What are your thoughts? uh, um With marco, uh, not with marco with lemar I'm sorry Well with lemar. Yeah, that that wouldn't be a bad deal because he is uh, what are you getting ready to be 25 26? I think yeah, and if you sign a three year deal, uh, that would well, it would be a three year extension actually Um, because so it'd be a four year deal because this year the fourth fifth year option And then it'll be one two three years after that Um, so that would allow lemar to get some good money. Um, that that that franchise tag money Uh, it would be yeah, it would be around there Uh, he would get paid ravens would have that quarterback for the foreseeable future And then yeah, everybody could run it back in a couple of years see where everybody is and how everybody's doing Hopefully great. Um, but at the same time I think it all depends on what the ravens did in this this off season How they draft who they sign it. I think so much depends on that Um, because with lemar, I think again, this is my personal opinion I just don't think he wants to be tied down to the ravens right now Um, I think he wants to really like they could talk about this vision that they have But I think he really wants to see it be executed first Before he even thinks about approaching them about even having a conversation about this contract Next question came from my boy martin and appreciate you being a patron He said engraving hope all is well with you and the fam as well as my team keeping clean fam Now, I know I don't need to say this to ravens fans But it always kills me to see journalists analysts or fans or teams how little they know of lemar jackson I recently saw that both max kelliman and steven a smith both said that lemar should not play until he gets his new Contract lemar has said time and time again. His focus is on the super bowl He is not worried about the contract at this moment if they would actually take the time to listen to lemar They would know this instead. They want to be his agents and tell him He should not play for the ravens until he gets that contract We all know lemar jackson is going to get paid big bucks. The ravens aren't going to just let lemar go They made joe flacco the highest paid quarterback in the league even though everyone in the nfl knew He was not the best qb uh flacco is my favorite player and I knew he wasn't number one Surely the ravens knew this to my point in saying that if they were willing to make flacco the highest paid qb Why wouldn't they do the same for lemar jackson? We we are we are really gonna see We are gonna see um how this thing shakes out and again, um the ravens they yeah, they are known to cheap on the outside But not necessarily from the inside Uh, they will take care of their own Like they they just gave mark angelo and they the timing could not have been better with mark angelo's deal Because had he not gotten paid that this is why this is why I always say like when people say oh man lemar jackson He's crazy for not doing a deal right now with the rave. No, he's not Why shouldn't he bet on himself? like Raven's got a deal for mark angelo's right now a deal. Had they waited another year? Oh Had they waited another year? price tag would have been way up Way up my friend And even with flacco flacco the same thing Flacco he could have took and taken a deal and it would have been cheaper than the one that he got But you know, I think I can get a little more. Let's let's wait Boom, he ended up winning the superbowl bet on himself. It paid off it paid off So this is why this is why i'm not mad at lemar just waiting it out You made it waiting it out like why not if you you can be patient and you can get even more bread Oh, man. Yeah, like why not and there's gonna be a lot of like analysts and Experts and media people they're gonna be talking about the whole agent thing a lot of fans too as you know I'm sure you see them different comment sections and whatnot. They're gonna be talking about the whole agent thing Oh, lemar needs an agent. He needs an agent. He needs an agent but again he They've been handling business so far and everything's been straight And i'm sure they're gonna handle this Accordingly and everything will be straight Um, lemar has been doing a lot of what he does is different from The norm in the nfl And a lot of people don't like it a lot of people don't like it And i mean lemar he got he got enough haters as is he got enough haters as is You see him all the time whether it be on tv Whether on social media and youtube comments section. I got plenty of them that show up here every day every day Um, but that's that's the nature of business. He um when you do things differently from the norm That's gonna come with it. It's gonna come with it. Um, so With everything that you've been hearing from the media and now some of them have made some good points Some of them actually do um, but some of them just they they say some wild stuff like even, uh Uh, man, you're old acho. Oh man, he Yeah, he had some like crazy stuff. I'm sure y'all saw the clip. Um, where he he had like Rg3 tim tebow michael vick it was like passing yards per Rushing y'all it was it was something crazy and i'm like, where are we going with this? But he was using that to say that the nfl is not biased against uh Race with quarterbacks. He said it's a race or ratio something like that But y'all watch it for yourself so you could have a good laugh too, man And I like um, I like marcellus wiley and uh, amaeo acho I love their conversations They're back and forth because I always love uh, different analogies that they use but that one I that one that acho used just It was not it, man Um, because I really thought when I first thought I'm like, okay, he about to go somewhere But then I kept watching like oh no, he didn't he didn't really go anywhere on this one But I mean, it is what it is man. No big deal The last question on this episode came from my guy Ray Sean. He said, what's up team? Keep it clean and engraving I'm relatively new to football became a fan in 2018 as it was my first year with the Baltimore Ravens marching band And getting the chance to go to every home game and haven't missed one since I cannot get enough of it Oh, that's what's up, man He said I think I'm now up to speed with the basic knowledge of football, but I'm still trying to figure out one thing What is a number one wide receiver? And do you think we have one hidden on our roster? Well, I think with a number one wide receiver It's however that team possibly creates Creates that number one wide receiver not everyone number one wide receiver is going to look the same They're not going to play the same But I think with a number one wide receiver they can be relied upon in every situation Uh, and then this is my opinion. They will be a go-to guy Um on first second and third down If your quarterback's in a bind then they can always look for that play and be like, all right You know, I'm gonna get him a shot because I know they can really make something happen And I think right now for the Ravens that number one wide receiver has been mark andrews Even though he is a tight end But that number one wide receiver right now for the baltimore ravens is tight end mark andrews And that's not a bad thing. That's just what it is. But anyway continuing He said I think everyone has their own idea of what a number one wide receiver is I should have read that first, but yeah, I agree To me a number one wide receiver is of course the most reliable target But also someone that can get you out of a couple of jams. Okay. Yeah, I should have read this A target that if a play breaks down you can just throw it up and trust that your receiver will make a play That's another good explanation A receiver that has your back on off days and that will produce on the field No matter who is throwing you the ball and makes an effort to get open no matter the circumstance Well mark andrews did that He produced with lamar with hauntley and with john johnson. So shout out to Oh, I should have read it, man. I should have read this whole thing first I should have read the whole thing first, man Listen, listen, what he said next mark andrews is a perfect example of a number one wide receiver And he said too bad. He's a tight end and we still need that number one guy But I think we haven't have had our number one guy for four years now But he has not gotten the opportunity to be that guy and that guy is drum roll, please Miles Boykin He said miles is that big body physical wide receiver that we've been asking for but lamar and the ravens have failed To give him a fair opportunity to be that guy for us I see a whole lot of potential in mr. Boykin even though he has had his flaws Don't give up on a guy before giving him a chance to improve and show his worth And I just wish that the ravens and sometimes lamar would give players more of a shot to show their worth Because there's always that hidden playmaker and you will never know a player's worth if you hide them away Sorry, my adhd took over and I may have went off the track. No, it's all good That happens to me every single video. So wow Miles Boykin, hmm, that could have been something man I just I think it's too late for them now. I don't think that um Miles Boykin is gonna really get that shot at being The ravens Number one wide receiver. I don't I don't even think that he's gonna be on a team This year and I wish that they could have been more more of an opportunity Um, there were a lot of time when the Marjus didn't even look his way And even look his way. I know the chemistry was just it was just off They were on two different wavelengths. Um, but yeah miles. He never really gotten Consistent opportunities like that. He never got the volume like that He just never got to see his true potential Because there'll be one thing if miles because I know a lot of ravens fans They'll go off of a couple of passes that went miles Boykin way and when there was a uh, just that Them being off Um between Lamar and Miles Boykin, they'll go off a couple of passes and be like, oh, no, he did have his opportunities He didn't really have opportunities like that Because there'll be passes that between Lamar and Hollywood and they'll be off He's still gonna get his chances. There'll be some passes between Mark Andrews and Lamar and they'll be off Mark Andrews still gonna get his chances But miles he really didn't he didn't So it will be one thing if miles Boykin and I know every receiver can't all catch 50 60 passes every seat I know that I ain't saying that but it will be one thing to be like, all right miles Boykin, man He had so many opportunities. Oh man. They all went bad They all they all went to waste that'll be one thing and they'll be like, okay Well, I guess he ain't good But this whole thing with the ravens is what happens with so many receivers We'll never know We'll never know their true potential because they never really got a shot It happens It's been happening for years with the ravens at wide receiver for years And it looks like miles Boykin is unfortunately going to be A part of that continued cycle
