 Yeah, you too team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave and hit with another video in another episode of NFL questions from Sub's away You can ask me any question you want to and we answered in the video just like this if you want to be part of it You can send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com or for the patrons You can just send it directly on patreon team keep it clean. I love y'all I appreciate y'all we got some really really good questions like we always do as a matter of fact Let's hear first question came from my boy droid 209. He said that's my coach Morning evening or good night uncle grave hope all is well. I hope you got your fresh batch of just for men to get them Great hairs covered. I know I did. I really talked though I know coach Johnny boy has been messing up coach Hobbs is honestly under a lot of pressure nowadays I feel like every year since the decline of Joe Flacco Johnny boy has been on the hot seat I still trust that John will get us to the bowl might not be this year But it will be next John Harbaugh is one of the best football coaches in the league Bill Belichick Andy Reed John Harbaugh in that order. I don't have a question I just want to remind the flock nation to have big trust We have three games left to turn it around three games that are winnable this game taught me that we are winners We just got to make the right calls be breezy, uh So we're winners, but we got to make the right calls But we lost and We've lost three games in a row Shouldn't winners already be making the right calls and winners win Ravens right now. They are not winners. They've won more than they've lost, which is great. Um, but Yeah, that's Moral victories are are cool, but not cool at the same time And I think that's looking for just trying to find a moral victory Because I've been seen in the law. Yeah, we should be proud of this team and we are proud of this team Having everybody hurt like that and running with the Packers like that great great But That doesn't get it done It's not enough. You still lost you lost and we know football is next man up you lost and And what what what's happened when the team's been fully healthy? Especially 14 and two year like man, I just whoo what happened there you had everybody so It's all about good coach Coach certainly got his deficiencies every coach does um, but with hardball I just Ah Getting a decision-making man. It's just been head-scratchin and Again, I feel like you I feel like you you gave them all these shout outs all this praise great coach top three And you said who Bella check any read in hardball in that order But then our last part So this game taught me that we are winners. We just got to make the right calls Hmm That's the interesting way to end that next question came from my boy Eric He said yo engraving hope the fam is doing well as you probably noticed the coaching has been extremely questionable to say the least To contrasting questions back to back Well, anyway, he said do you think the Raven should fire your hardball and in a situation How does it get fired? Who do you think will be the best replacement for the Ravens? Personally, I think all the coaches will get a get out of jail free card with all the injuries But injuries aren't an excuse for the bad play calling Anyways, I appreciate everything you do for the flock and just like all of our kicking team in close games I'm out. Oh, I love this one. I love how he ended that and how he worded everything too Do I think Raven should fire hardball? Oh Boy, it's it's always a really good question when somebody asks this because With offensive coordinators There's always a complain of offensive coordinators under hardball nine times out of ten It's always a complaint over because Ravens offense. Just it can be crazy sometimes it can drive you insane But the common denominator is is always John Hubbaugh John Hubbaugh Good leader He is a team coach. I mean he's a player's coach players love them. They love the energy to love the vibe um but hardball as far as the decision-making um The the hireings the the the staff that gets put together Now one thing that they one thing that these guys do I feel like what with hardball They wouldn't even have to fire him. They just let him coach for Let him coach every game for three and a half quarters Then let that last that had last half of the fourth quarter. Let's somebody look we got to bring in a closer We got to bring in a closer because some's got to give man Some's got to give So who can be that closer for us? Who could who could close these games out for us? If they can do that, you ain't got to even get rid of hardball, but in the case it did get rid of hardball um, I Would just say an offensive minded guy because I would just really want Lamar's potential to be reached and For Lamar to be in a situation because whenever he signs his deal. I want him to be in the best situation for him So if they were to fire hardball, I would just want somebody to who who is really going to just make this offense Explode next question came from Anthony He said what's going on? Hope all as well if he hasn't been signed for the Ravens or any other team by the time You see this with a thin corner back room. Do you think the Ravens should take a chance on Bashar breathing? Yeah, for sure like and I said this in another video I don't care if your zone corner via bank on I don't know what he is I don't know his game like that, but I don't even care Ravens literally have they are paper thin less than Less than paper thin at the corner back position. They like are down to pass their last They are in the negative balance right now when it comes to their corner back room So it could not hurt at all next question came from a boy Howard He said what's happening in Graven the Ravens are on a three game losing streak and the hot topic has been the terrible decision-making and crucial situations Harbaugh and his coordinators have been making decisions. That's analytics driven and it's costing us huge games He's the kicker though on the other teams these last few games would get the head coach fired But Harbaugh is probably safe because he has a wild card in his back pocket The GM EDC is the one who implemented the whole analytics system in place when he took over for Ozzie as GM and EDC is the one enforcing the analytics philosophy on the team So if the owner wanted to make a move he would have to fire EDC too because remember the owner said after the 2018 and 17 season that they put a five-year succession plan in place for EDC to take over as GM starting in 2019 Just a little food for thought just curious to hear thoughts on my takes and hashtag Ravens nation I EDC ain't going anywhere and I don't the thing about EDC He makes the football decision he creates the roster He creates the roster has to say so in hireings and firings for Their staff their front office and whatnot that coaching staff. I mean, excuse me because he is the front office He's part of the front office I don't think Eric Dacosta has been doing a bad job at all he put together an amazing amazing amazing roster this year But injuries took over Injuries literally took over from top to bottom of the roster every single position players everywhere hurt hurt hurt hurt He did a good job Coaches they have a little different story there, but Eric Dacosta did a good job Think Eric Dacosta. He's fine. You ain't got nothing to worry about right now But I one thing I do wonder about is it would he put that pressure on hardball? What he put that pressure on his next door neighbor what he put that pressure on his friend What he do that and that I don't think he would and I mean, I can't say that what Hobbs is doing would get other coaches fired if they had bad records then it would but he's had Yes, some some leeway in his eyes with his record even though Ravens are out of the playoffs as of right now Hopefully they can win these next three games again, but let's see when we get there But he yeah, he had Guess he felt he had a little bit leeway with a lot of this decision-making But it it would it would only get other coaches fired if they had bad records, but yeah hardball He's right now. He's still in the clear, so he ain't close to getting fired He know his way to being fired like they I would be extremely shocked If like I just there's nothing right now with this this season That would that the Ravens will fire hardball for nothing And again, like you said, he got that legit get out of jail free card with the injuries And but you also said that EDC implemented analytics, which he did talk about when it's introductory press conference He said hey, I'm all about them analytics So Yeah, that that does both well in hardball's favor. I never even really thought about that The fact that EDC was he's down with him analytics And you know hardball is too and I mean hardball gonna do whatever you got to do to keep his job man straight up They gonna do what he got to do keep his job like my like my boy Broadney said shout out to Jose and brought in from lunch break hot take He said one of John hardball's best attributes is self-preservation. I will never forget that quote because it was amazing I'm gonna do what he got to do to keep his job. Who wouldn't? Who wouldn't so he gonna ride with a GM GM say he down with analytics hardball. I'll be like, oh, yeah I am mr. Analytics. Let's hire whole analytics team They did that a lot of questions about the coaching staff next one came from my boy, Josh We said shit the Ravens rehaul the coaches and not the players for the future. What's up in gravy and following up from my last question I hope people see what I'm saying Ravens literally have the dumbest set of coaches in the league besides wink from GM to head coach Coordinators to conditioning trainers the Ravens are an organization that operates on extremely low IQ, but they have great players Now, this is my question normally when you talk about rebuilding you think about rebuilding the roster of players But should the Ravens overhaul their coaching staff instead to give these players a chance I believe hardballs regime based on all heart and no brains Which is why they rely heavily on our analytics because they can't think for themselves. Oh my goodness Wow, I Believe that I believe that regime will hold this franchise back from another Super Bowl. He said hashtag free Lamar Whoo Boy Because he did say this in his last question. He said he feels like the Ravens are all hard and no brain So my god, Josh is very consistent. Oh, but he said from GM to head coach to coordinators to conditioning like everybody Again, I'm not with the analytics thing I'm not well y'all. No, I'm not a big analytics guy. I'm not a big fan of analytics because I Feel like you just You're looking at a computer like I feel like analytics just it could take away from the game It reminds me of fantasy football. It just takes away from the from the game so much But with analytics, you just you're going based off of these numbers and probability rates and success rates and da da da da But you got to actually just be watching the game. Look at the game Look how your players are playing and just you got you really got to think And I feel like I Show me analytics on his fourth down. Show me what the computer says Show me what the computer says show me what these numbers say, but I just I don't know man I just I feel like analytics may be a little overrated a bit And hey, maybe there's something that I don't know about analytics Maybe it's something that we we don't understand or know about analytics I'm not ruling that out as well But I feel like you you got to have a feel for the game man You got to be in rhythm and be in sync with the game and not just these numbers on a on a computer So as far as your question should the Ravens do? Just an overhaul of everything But you said GM too, I don't think that EDC should be that he should be fired or whatnot because again EDC Yeah, he is very analytical. That's his thing analytics But it's a hard ball that got to make the football decision But like we talked about in the previous question from my guy Howard Yeah, hope I'm gonna be on board them analytics because EDC on board them analytics So you don't want to clash with the GM I Hold to the coaching staff. I can see that but as far as to GM No, and that's it's it's this is very Tricky, but I do see what you're saying because the follow from your previous question to this question And then the way that you worded everything to and you talked about because with them analytics It's not them thinking for themselves. It's them going off of them numbers and I was like, oh Wow, there's a big yikes right there Hmm Something's got to give man. So something has got to give Because even there've been times even when the Ravens won and It's a lot of their decision-making is just like whoa, what's going on? What happened? But they end up not paying for it in the long run because they end up getting the win But We just knew we we have been saying it for the longest Ravens they got to step this stuff up even when they were winning and we talked about how you got to step stuff up Cuz we just know things are gonna get harder. They only got to get harder and Ravens they continue doing the same thing and now they they lost three in a row They lost the last I forget well how many out of how many games they lost sort of pass Have a mini game loan. I ain't got the analytics right now in my head to do those numbers Wasn't this factory built for him next question came from a boy Rodeo He said my guy was going on hope all as well and now we dive into today's topic This was sent before the Packers game by the way. It probably won't mean anything, but we'll see While we often hear Lamar's the reason the Ravens are relevant Lamar's the reason why Hobbes has a job Lamar's the reason for this and for that now I'm no anti Lamar guy or nothing nothing below for my QB one But help me out here wasn't this machine built for Lamar Jackson I mean, it's only right. He succeeds right Greg Roman has had success with similar quarterbacks And even got to the big dance or one of them while I do know Roman's time is nearing its expiration date I can't completely ignore diminish his role. Yes, it's old now But I have to credit him where everyone else says it's all LJ Lamar could have been successful anywhere he went but with the team We know his arm wasn't close to precise early on would he have the same production elsewhere? The Greg's run scheme are still some of the greatest and I got to say he deserves some credit for that part Next is where he failed to Lamar Jackson landed in Jacksonville, Chicago Jets He may very well be successful, but he may not win that MVP What I'm saying is he failed to a top tier organization known for winning while Hobbes missed the playoffs a couple times in his tenure for more than More than none he was in Can't say the same for the other organizations and they wouldn't be built specifically for him So while he is the engine to this car What's an engine without the rest of the car Lamar is already a legend and I'm sure when he receives his gold jacket There shall be a nod to Jiro Hobbes and the whole Ravens organization for giving him a chance and believing in him Remember 31 NFL teams passed on him 32 well, no, you're 31 because Ravens They were in the first round twice because they but they got a hatin her say could add Lamar then but they got a hatin herse So Yeah, great points are all great points. And yeah, you you got a credit Yeah, how ball gets some of the credit Jiro and Just the whole organization, you're right They are They have done a lot more winning than losing in hobble hard balls tenor here as the head coach I obviously got the Super Bowl, which was great great times, but they Jiro talked about him that he's he was a great intro to introductory offensive coordinator for Lamar Jackson His run schemes like you said, they are amazing The way that the Ravens ran the ball and the success that they had running the ball was just great And when you can run the ball like that like that. Oh boy, you um, it just makes life easier for the quarterback And that allows him to allows less pressure to be put on him and him to just Have a higher chance for success because if the quarterback just not say that he couldn't any Rookie quarterback couldn't or second-year quarterback couldn't if you're just coming out throwing throwing throwing throwing it with no run game That's that's bad for any quarterback So, yeah, that that that that that that that was good But yeah, Hobbs Lamar did save Hobbs job now with Lamar, I do feel like he could have had success At a lot of places, but the Ravens. Yeah, he he came to a team. Yeah, that has they know how to Win Their winners. They're like us as Ravens fans We spoiled but I like how my guy, um, Jose shout out to lunch break high-tech again But I like how my guy Jose had put it that we as Ravens fans It's not even so much that we will be all spoiled, but We have expectations First from everything that we've seen over the years. We have expectations and If your team we if you seen how successful your team can be How successful they have been Then it's like that's what you want them to continue doing and you just what you want them to win You want them to maintain that success? You want them to increase that success? So when whenever people say Raven fans are spoiled and they had a no Yeah, it's just that they they know what success is like and they want that for the team That's it So with Lamar, yeah, if he would have went to the Jaguars, it's not a very very well-run team Wouldn't have been the same, but we'll never know but it might not have been the same Same with the Jets. I mean you just say a bunch of other franchises, but they also some teams that if he would have went there They are very well run. He would went to the Saints. Oh boy chiefs yikes Patriots um Who else think of off the top of my head? But yeah, he could have had some success in some other places as well But Ravens it worked out for him for sure worked out for them for sure And this is it's been a nice relationship He brought a just this energy to the to the city Lamar came through he changed the game. He really changed the game. He changed the NFL Just talking to my guy JTD other day and we was talking about this and um, he's mentioned how Lamar even got like different guys drafted He got different guys drafted So it's like, yeah, he he certainly changed the game for sure Um, so oh no no no else my guy not JTD my guy SG Skeptigo. He was saying that That Lamar like he's because of him guys like like the Browns they drafted Jock That's for Lamar That's for LJ So it's just that impact is just crazy man. It's crazy. So um But yeah, you got to give kudos to the coaching staff to they played a part They had to change everything around for Lamar on the fly They did a good job of it and then in the second season they really have to really just go all in and as far as the offense Personnel they like, oh, no, we're gonna hold back a little bit. We ain't ready. We don't trust you yet It's okay. You you want to prove himself. Okay, cool fine. He did 2020 all right, you ready to go all in with the team and with personnel stuff. They're like, oh, no, no, we're good We're not but anyway, but yeah, you made some good points man. Appreciate you over there Last question on this episode came from a boy Greg from BMO. He said ain't great when I didn't expect a one-point game I expected a package to blow out the Ravens So I'm just so proud of this team's nature to just keep fighting a third straight week with questionable two-point calls Different situation with the Browns game But the Packers game was similar to the Steelers game in that in that moment in the Steelers game I agreed with the call, but I disagree versus Packers always want to try to win But no Lamar and the D just started to step up on the last drive versus Rogers Kick the extra point there and it hurts more after seeing or after after the game seeing on Twitter that Hollywood looked open There on a two-point try Pain pain pain. He said I also disagree with the first drive of the game that Ravens went for it on fourth down Kick the field goal this early in the game and the ball was not on the one or two yard line And I just don't get it those points would have helped a lot. Hubbaugh. I love him Hope he's coaching for a long time still with the Ravens But he needs to look at himself and evaluate everything cuz I just don't get these calls He might say analytics but analytics say Ravens are bad this Let me run that back he might say analytics but analytics say Ravens are bad the season on two-point plays So try for the tie there big game in Cincinnati next I think in my opinion if they don't win this they might miss the playoffs Which I still want to happen because I because if Lamar can get going anything is still possible Oh, I think he meant I still don't want to happen So do you see this team still get into the playoffs? Man, it's tough. It's very very tough Based off of where they all right here right now No, but um, you just you never know what you're gonna get with this team Even though I knew against the pack I knew we were gonna get a great game I like I just knew they were gonna win But they could have won had some chances to but some decisions that were made anyway, um, I Don't know man. You just you you never know what you're gonna get on a week-to-week basis You know with the decisions that have been being made especially over the past three weeks all these two-point tries I Don't even know man. I Don't even know I can't even get you a straight answer if I had to pick one Yes, or no, based off right here right now. I'll say no But Ravens they they like making it crazy at the very end like they always do Brown's loss tonight when I'm recording this They lost against the Raiders So that helps keep them away a little bit We play Bengals and that's a big one That's a big one because they they guys to make it happen Like you said because that's a division game Bengals are in the lead in the division right now Everybody's so close in the vision. No, it's super close So anyway, he said I think Bengals and Steelers they might need both for it Rams is likely in L and the reason I say they might need a win versus Steelers because first Steelers are still in the hunt for the North and for Cincinnati who I believe is the best team In the ASE North I think Bengals got a better division record than the Ravens and if they can stay one within one game Even if Bengals lose next week when Ravens and Steelers Oh, if Bengals lose next week then Ravens and Steelers is with that much more important since Bengals Will still have that tiebreaker hope for the best for the rest of the season very cool to see Tony Jefferson back Where's the packers? You
