He said Hey engraving I have yet to congratulate you on the new addition to your family Oh, no, I appreciate it. Thank you. He said I have now lost a hundred pounds as well. Man, you ain't playing man that's great like That's great because I know that takes like a lot of You really got to be motivated, but you really got to be consistent and persistent because I know like losing like five pounds that can be a struggle and it can be so easy you could say for instance You lose five pounds. It could be so easy to get it back just like that But and that can take an extra amount of concentration and focus just to get those five pounds down But for you to lose one hundred pounds That shows exactly just how focused and dedicated you were to Accomplishing your goal. I remember you told us months ago that you were on a big weight loss journey And I'm glad that you obviously you down a hundred pounds. You obviously been sticking with it and doing a good job So that's that's great, man You like like we didn't really got do nothing else in the video. I just we could talk about that and we'd be upset like You you made my day like hearing about that. That's great. No, for real man. I'm serious. That's really really really good So shout out to you But he said Anyway, I have two questions about just a matter BK. The first one is what do you think the Ravens do about him? Do they tag him? Do they let him go? Do they do a tag and extend? I? Think they'll try to get a deal done first, but I don't think just a matter BK is going anyway It's obviously a possibility. It's always possibilities for anything until it ain't possible no more But I don't think just a matter BK going anywhere. I think if they can't get a deal done, then he will get the franchise take I don't think that franchise tag is going to anybody else. No other pending free agents No, I think he's going to just a matter BK just a matter BK only I but he said Also, the other one is people are forgetting. We have a new defensive coordinator So are you at all concerned just a matter BK may not be good in his system? Although it is similar. It's also different and just like PQ Out oh, that's a that's a good question And that doesn't even like we don't even just got to keep it matter BK with that one We could keep about a lot of the players because Mike McDonald's system was Mike McDonald's system and that allowed a lot of players to flourish. It was a very unselfish system and that is something that is just Underrated about Mike McDonald's defense. It was extremely unselfish guys were Sacrificing stats so other guys could make plays and this happened all across the board all across the board We've seen it so many times. It's very unselfish so now Under Zach or how is it gonna be it could be different? But I would think that Zach or would do a lot of the things the same as Mike McDonald But again put his own spin on things So it is a possibility that maybe there's a different you but Again, you follow into the ends of big footsteps God gonna say hey, maybe is that or really specialized obviously as a linebacker. He was a linebacker Maybe he specializes in that getting the most out of that unit But at the same time, it's like with Mike McDonald. He got the most out like everybody like the secondary Linebacker the defensive like he got it out of everybody. Oh, that's why so frustrating that Ravens end up wasting this season, man But anyway, um So yeah, that is something to be I think it's something to be slightly concerned about But with Justin at a big case like you found his niche You drafted him well four years ago and he finally found his niche This was his breakout season obviously he had more of an opportunity with Kaleis Campbell being going He got to step up and he he showed out big time So you want to keep players like that? You want players around that could get the job done you want players around that can just be big-time contributors And whatever defense it is obviously you want players that fit the defense But it's gonna be up to Zach or to make sure he continues to just try to get the most out of everybody across the board But that's a really good question. Next question came from Keontae. He said yo in gravy was good I hope all is well with you and the family guy. I appreciate that Keontae He said I think we should go after Zach Moss at running back I like the running back by committee style and with he'll and Keegan I think he fits the downhill mode, but I have something and want to know what you think about it Well, first was Zach Moss. I think that muscle be good with the Ravens I think he's show he you know how to run that ball And he felt more than at home running the ball at M&T Bank Stadium when he ran for all them yards and Caught for all them yards against the Baltimore Ravens when the Coles played them last year But um, no, I think he would be good man. Zach Moss a sleeper That's why I was I was frustrated for him But I get a coach had Jonathan Taylor but Jonathan Taylor have been out with his injuries that once have been doing this thing Jonathan Taylor gets back boom. They give him the contract and Zach Moss is like, oh, well, okay So I was I was frustrated for him. So I get him anyway He said I have something and want to know what you think about it Marlon Humphrey is my guy But if we let him go To playmaker guys, I think that will come in and do a great job is Jaylen Johnson and Jeff O'Cuda What do you think Jaylen Johnson from the Bears Jeff O'Cuda? He was with the Lions, right? Where's he at now? I don't know where he is now if he's not with if he's with another team or something like that Is he a free agent already not not that fast It ain't no way, but I don't know what Jeff O'Cuda status is what team he plays for So, um, oh, you know what? You know what people say when they when they say online. Oh, yeah, you couldn't just do a quick Google search Oh, a quick Google search wouldn't wouldn't have you looking so stupid. So let me see Jeff O'Cuda. Oh He's on the Falcons says when he been on the Falcons What Okay, he's Be selected by the Detroit Lions third overall in the 2020 drafts of 2020 2021 2022 2023 No So, yeah, oh, so he had his 50 option declined. He must have Okay, man Man, where I been it? Okay. Well, um, I'm not familiar with Jeff O'Cuda game I know Jaylen Johnson. He did this thing for the Bayer. He was trying to get paid from Chicago, but It ain't looking like yes working out. They still got some time though But we'll see what happens with him But I mean with now with Marlon Humphrey like I don't think Raven's gonna come on the Humphrey It's always a possibility. I don't think they're gonna do it though Well, Marlon Humphrey, he had a down here. He was hurt. He's hurt all year He's hurt all year But even when he played for the most part, he still played pretty good I think with the cornerback position I was just talking to my god Jason about this the other day with the cornerback position It's one of those positions since the ball doesn't come their way every single play The ball they're not involved on every single every single play So people can it's hard it can be hard for us to look at the cornerback position fairly Because the cornerback could be having an amazing game They could be killing it crushing it lock down, but then they give up one play and everybody's already had a bad game Oh, they had a terrible game. Oh, they did they did so bad. Oh man terrible All the meanwhile to just every other play they've been killing it They've been they've been keeping their receiver out the end zone They've been keeping the ball away from the receiver. They've been locking them down, but they give up that one place Oh, man, you're terrible. You're sorry. You're washed this and that So and I think that's been a lot of the discourse with Marlon Humphrey this year Because people look at the Steelers game when he first came back from injury and he gave up the touchdown to George Pickers It's like yeah, he gave that touchdown, but he was having a good game outside of that What's out of that? I know the the Rams game He gave up a couple plays and now now that was looking like But um, I mean that that's how it's been with him. He's been hurt man all year So I do not think that he should be cut I do not think that he will be cut anything the cost of possibility, but I just I don't see it happen But um, so yeah for sofa as far as those other two guys that you mentioned Jeff Ocuda and Jalen Johnson I don't even think it'll be a thing. Next question came from my guy Gerard. He said what's going on in grave and got a quick But fire question for you. I've seen a lot of questions about hardball leaving which we know isn't Which we know he isn't this year. That's true. He ain't you know, how far ain't going nowhere My question is do you think Lamar would eventually have enough leverage to tell Steve Bishadi that he wants hardball out? Wishing you continued success. I appreciate that Gerard Wow That's a really good question That would take a lot of power because you know like hardball like he locked in with the front office of Bishadi with EDC them being neighbors and stuff I can never say never but It would take a lot like obviously Lamar one of them guys, but uh For him to have enough leverage. Oh I don't know man. That's that's a tricky one. That's that's that's a real tricky one And I don't even know how to answer that we have seen players get head coaches out of there before But that's when the relationships had just gotten real ugly. They got real ugly I don't foresee the relationship between Lamar Jackson and John hardball getting ugly at all They love each other. They got a lot of love for each other both ways John hardball for Lamar Lamar for John hardball So I don't ever even foresee something like that even happening Expression came from BB. He said do you think the Ravens defense will look different this upcoming season? Or will they take what they learn from Mike max dominant creativity and build off of that? Oh good good good question that kind of relates to the first question that we went over When from Oreo cookie when he talked about the possibilities of this defense just being different and players not being as good as they once were In Mike McDonald's defense and again, that's a possibility that it looks different But I think they'll take a lot of what they did before because you don't want to try to fix something That's not broken in this defense last year certainly was not broken and it was a mix of the scheme It was a mix of the coaches that but it was a mix of the personnel as well So you put the right ingredients together all again, then it'll equal the same recipe and he also said do you think? That EDC will make a decision on Hobbs if mid-season Ravens are a 500 team no not at all and he said Ravens are losing a lot of key players And it will take a true leader to get them back to the AFC championship and he said hashtag We should have kept Mike Mac. So it's some with with with that being said I Yeah, with hardball that part. No, I don't I don't do not see how ball ever getting fired from the Ravens at all Even if they were 500 like and even that if they were 500 mid-season and they would just be like I turn this thing around fix it Because being 500 miss season mean you write in the middle of a pack and you've got an opportunity to fix it as far as a It'll take a true leader to get them back to the AFC championship Oh, well, yeah, it it'll take leaders and it'll take players and coaches take just everybody man Because that's that's big. That's the final four Like that's the final four of 32 teams with 17 regular season games playoff games That's the final four. You you made it really really far really really far 28 teams not playing anymore, but you made it past 28 teams So, yeah, it definitely takes some leaders to get back there for sure Last but certainly not least this next question came from my guy Harry who is a team keeping clean patron And he has been since January of 2021 so I appreciate you Harry much love to you and thank you for the way that you've been supporting the channel You always drop in gyms and asking fire questions as well. Also getting into his question He said are you doing engraving in the team keeping clean family? I'm good. I'm sure we all good and we appreciate you ask And he said hope everyone is doing well or in our in good spirits I was watching a video today on potential cap casualties and just couldn't fit everything I had in my mind in the comment section Just man, I know how it goes man. It's all good though He said as far as how the cap works and is how the dead money goes It depends on if it's a post-June 1st cut or not if the person is cut before June 1st All that guaranteed money is accelerated and goes against the team's cap that year If the cut comes out after June 1st The guaranteed money gets broken up into what you would owe the player and base salary If they were still on the team for the upcoming season and next year you pay the remaining balance on their guaranteed contract Oh, okay. You broke it way down and okay. I appreciate this He said for example If we get rid of Stanley his cap hit is 26.17 mil this year His dead cap is 17.84 mil if it's before June 1st We owe him all 17.84 mil if we cut him after June 1st We owe him 11 mil this year and the 6.84 million next year. Ah, so yeah, it breaks up like that Cool eight. We appreciate this breakdown He said so with that said That's a poor cut throat boy. Watch how he said this up So you see how he gave us the breakdowns, right? He said uh with that being so with that said I will cut Ronnie Stanley after June 1st and hope that we drafted a left tackle to replace him Or move Morgan Moses to the left tackle if none of our young players can step up to replace him I of course would keep Morgan Moses because he has been solid for us And even though injury that he suffered in november, he still played better than Stanley Plus he is on the last year of his contract. Let him play it out and be done Marlon Humphrey, Mark Andrews shouldn't get cut at all and shouldn't be extended extended again Oh, okay. So it's like you gave him that grace. So you're like, hey, no these do not cut them, but Don't get in no contract extension And then he said um That's the reason the salary cap hits are so high now Pat McCartney needs to stay especially if we would get rid of Stanley pat ricard I would like to come back so I would extend him to lower his cap hit But I could understand cutting him. I could see them cutting and resigning pat ricard But again, we'll see he said justice hill could get cut. It's not that he's bad I just don't see him as a difference maker on special teams or running back I think we could get two rookies that could do the same thing at half the price if that much Your thoughts. Oh, that's tricky. I like justice hill, man. I like um, I feel like with justice hill The more opportunity that he's gotten the better Um, because it's just it's had him out there more um And I feel like he could be a playmaker and he has made some plays for sure I feel like especially catching a ball too. Um With justice hill the more that he's been out there. They obviously trust him a lot They trust him at uh pass blocking. I know sometimes it's been a struggle. He's been up and down But um with justice hill, I like justice hill now as far as Getting rookies that could do the same thing. I mean, it's possible But that's one of those things that you don't know till you know, what it is possible Um with the ravens in the running back position There could be big changes coming up because Gus Edwards free agent JK Dobbins free agent, uh justice hill and key Mitchell. They the last man standing So um and in the article that you referenced that we talked about in that video with potential cap casualties With justice hill, they would only have like 500 000 in dead money and they could get like I think two mil if they released them so Anything possible till it ain't possible no more. So I mean, we just see how this whole thing shakes out
