 Did it I did it Joe. I was really at Publix earlier and I was looking for candy for when DK Metcalf becomes a Raven Enough is enough first question came from my guy Terry He said what's up in Graven. Hope you and the fam are doing great. Well. Yes, we are we are we're actually doing Stupendous shout out to my guy Barney. He said I wanted to ask you what moves offensively Do you want to see the Ravens make you want to ask me about off? Really? You sure? I don't have any way Y'all already know I'm all for getting a young Up-and-coming proven talent at the wide receiver position Somebody who's a game changer somebody who's a difference maker to add to the difference makers that we have Already and just to make the Ravens that much more hard to defend remember Indefensible offense. I didn't come up with that somebody else did though, but anyway, he said I don't know why Ravens fans Are held to the standard that Lamar has enough weapons in Hollywood Bateman and Big Money Mark Brady had Mike Evans Godwin and Gronkin still got a B Rams already had Cooper Cup Higby Van Jefferson and still went and got Alan Robinson I guarantee you the charges go get a wide receiver in the trap because they're taking advantage of Herbert's rookie deal and Want to be successful and after this morning the bill signing digs and the Bobby Wagner signing with the Rams Edie should EDC should know the cap is cap Like that one. He said what that's still being guys in free agency Who do you want the Ravens to get and select in the draft? I say we go James Cook Down me Davin's younger brother in round four or five to help the run game and go pick ins in rounds two or three See a lot of these top wide receivers Burks cuz y'all y'all know I straight on Burks. Okay, cool George pick is a no problem with that. I would not be mad with that at all either Ravens got a lot of options at wide receiver And before we keep well, let me keep going first He also said help you in the fam are doing good. Stay safe and trust and he said ps since 2018 Every past Super Bowl winner had either five to six mil in positive cap space or negative one to five mil in cap All right. Appreciate that little tidbit. So If the Ravens This what I would want the Ravens to do my first hope would be that they would trade for somebody That's again DK Metcalf would be the one on my list now up-and-coming guy If they didn't do that then what I would want them to do Would be to drag cuz y'all know I've been saying they're gonna draft receiving the first three rounds Now if they traded for a wide receiver a high quality wide receiver Then okay, then that would erase that But if they don't then yeah, it's receiving the first three rounds for sure. No questions asked On a side note, I am very glad that the Texans they re-signed Brandon cooks to a two-year deal Because I heard some talk about him and I was thinking now Nope, nope, nope. He's nice good receiver productive receiver They're the same with the Saints the Patriots the Texans and whoever else he played for but We got enough like smaller stature receivers. We need to go get a big guy and that guy so anyway, uh if they Draft the receiving the first three rounds. I would still want them to go sign a veteran wide receiver and A guy who I would really like if they said that they signed even even with them drafting a guy would be Julio Jones and The reason I say that is this Because if they draft a wide receiver and I would expect that wide receiver to have a bigger frame six two six three and Be able to go up and get it aggressive. You talking about George Pickens. Yeah, like we always say on here The market speed is on offense. Great. I would love that But then Keep at it at another one stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready, right? Hey, that that's what my motto is and With a Julio Jones, I know some people gonna say oh man Julio Jones. He's washed his injury prone for what? What would be the reason? Stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready He wouldn't have to come over here and be a starter He wouldn't have to come over here and do what Sammy Watkins did last year for those five or six games Julio would be extra ammo in the arsenal extra ammo in the arsenal and Just in case somebody tired just in case somebody gets hurt Just in case somebody ain't ready then the Ravens would have already stayed ready And you ain't got to go out go all crazy looking for replacements and whatnot because you got somebody sitting right there on the bench That's a Hall of Famer I You too team keep it clean what's going on welcome to another episode of NFL questions from subs Well, you can ask any NFL question and we answered in a video like this now If you want to be part of me you can send me an email team keep it clean a gmail.com For the patrons y'all don't have to go through all that y'all can send it directly on Patreon if you want to become a team keep it clean patron. I appreciate y'all by the way Thank you for being a living to do that. You can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids, and if you don't want to This is completely fine. I love y'all. It's been a little while since we've been able to do questions from subs But hey, we here now. So let's get it Next question came from my guy gold morano and he said creating a division winning offense How's it going in Raven? Thank you for the Lamar recruiting news for one DK Metcalf If someone can convince EDC to trade for Metcalf I promise to stop crying whining and begging for him to draft Drake London with the 14th pick Another option right there. So again Raven's gonna have their options that hit his name had completely slipped my mind earlier When we were talking about the receiver. So that's another one Anyway, he said although I'd much rather he trade for Metcalf and and Like him. He said although I much rather he trade for Metcalf and draft London So see I'm not the only one trying to double dip my guy gold morano. He gets it, too But anyway, I actually like his idea better than mine Because anyway, let's keep going. He said you have said on more than one occasion invest heavily in your quarterback Invest heavily in your quarterback. Yes, I have said it don't invest Skinnerly invest Engravenly in your quarterback heavily in your quarterback Anyway, all the top teams continue to improve the receiving course for the sake of their quarterbacks It's high time the Ravens make a substantial investment in Lamar and yes This conversation we shouldn't even be having this conversation. We shouldn't still be having this conversation In the Jackson's fifth year is kind of sad and in Lamar Jackson's fourth year started Because again this first year he ain't start till the middle of the season It ain't like they can go crazy and free agency in the middle of the season. Oh, so We shouldn't be having this conversation in his fourth year started. But anyway, he said question We know that Metcalf would not come cheap I would guess that he would be listed at a cost of at least three draft picks I'm estimating a first round in 2022 third round in 2022 in a second round in 2023 and Tyler Wallace of Devon Duvenay. What say you see I've been seeing this a lot to where I a lot of people feel like with DK Metcalf is gonna take more than draft pick that it's gonna take players as well I keep hearing that a lot. So maybe y'all might be on or something He said what would EDC have to come come up off of in order to get DK Metcalf To report to the cast of this summer. Hmm something that he's never given up before and the reason I say that is because We hear about EDC's aggressiveness We we hear about a lot of almost things that happened And we appreciate the effort and the effort is great But then when you think And you just think about the Ravens in general as a whole They are very reluctant to give up those draft picks Especially Significant draft picks first round. Have they ever traded a first round for a player before? At the top of my head. I will want I want to say no, I can't think of anything But they hasn't to give up those significant draft picks first round second round third round But yeah, they usually hasn't been with those Just all it just always comes to my mind when it comes to giving up draft picks When they could have got Jarvis Landry, but I don't know then they could have got Really the biggest one for me more recently Well, not more recently, but Jalen Ramsey that was when we all heard that story how they didn't want to give up I think it was a third round pick They were willing to give up a first and a fourth but not a first and a third to move up in the first round I get Jalen like oh man like He was worth it and more He was worth so much more than that and it's like people knew how nice he was coming out of college and That this dude like he was gonna be like that and he came out of college and he was like that So guys who you just know are going to be like and your defensive team on top of that So it's like that's the extra bonus if he was a wide receiver something then he was a quarterback He was a runner if he was offensive player and Ravens they want to move up for him I would understand because Ravens they not used to guys who are like that on offense like that And that that hasn't been them, but it's it was a defensive player and you weren't willing to get that up Oh man, so a DK Metcalfe man Well, they had to come up off off to get him. Oh, just some way out of the ordinary first round pick I think if it's I think if if the trade what he gets traded for would be a Multiple picks in the first two rounds. I think that that would shut the Ravens out. I don't think they would do it Don't think they don't think they would do it if it was like I say if it was picks in the The first two rounds the first and second round I don't think they would do it if it was either or and even then some on top of that Like if it was a first and a third and later or a second and a third or a second and whatever later I think they do it, but a first and a second I just don't see them doing it and it's funny my guy G star He asked a similar question to he said a engraving hope everything was well with the family much love for what you do and appreciate you I appreciate you to G. He said my question is would you be for or against the Ravens using their first round pick and Another lower-round pick to acquire DK Metcalfe Please explain your pros and cons of doing so or not. Thank you again engraving either way I'm excited for the upcoming season in your awesome coverage. Appreciate it about awesome But we do have a good time on here. So I appreciate you being a part of What would I be willing to give up for one DK Metcalfe? Yeah, I would be me personally. I'll definitely be given willing to give up a first round pick for sure and Change So if it was a first and a second, okay, cool I'm cool with it Man, I know a lot of y'all probably looking at me like I'm crazy right now But some of y'all like yeah, yeah, yeah, I would give up even more and no problem I would be willing to do it because You you know what you're getting you know who you're getting I See people. So oh, yeah, he got inconsistent hands. He's an inconsistent route runner Okay You you think that's getting me off you you think that's getting me off No, it's certainly not Um, he as longer and oh another one of that that I hear oh DK Metcalfe did their games where he disappears Okay This is why I I want the Ravens to build a unit A unit because safe instance DK Metcalfe having a rough game. Okay. All right DK. Hey, that's fine We got Hollywood We got Rashad Bateman. We got Mark Andrews. They got your back. Hopefully you can recover during this game But worst-case scenario you don't we have other guys too and remember on my bench We still got Julio Jones too But anyway that so that stuff doesn't worry me I'm more enticed by the playmaking ability. I'm more enticed by the physicality I'm more enticed because the positives are gonna outweigh the negatives by far By far and it's not even close for me So I'm willing to make the move. I'm willing to give up multiple draft picks if players have to be in there too That's a painful part right there But what's got to be done has got to be done Ravens need to take this offense to another level they need to so If you really want to do that you going to find a way to get this thing done Whether it's DK Metcalfe or just bringing in somebody else of some serious significance serious significance And and not stopping there and get greedy with it next question came from jay. He said what's up in graven It's my first time doing question from suz But I like to know what is your thoughts with raven just not being aggressive on offense at all in free agency Year after year after year just never aggressive our main players on offense Or literally all drafted players as the following Lamar Jackson jk dobbins hollywood rishabh bateman mark andrews nick boy or Ronnie stanley devindu when they james pro-shame Don't get me wrong These players are good But even other players like ben cleveland and justice hill were drafted shoot even gusts ewers Was just an undrafted rookie free agent I name all these players and none are big name signings from free agency Sure, you can say we added players like morgan moses and kevin zeitler But not game changing players like how other offenses have Stefan digs on the bills. Well, that was a trade. That wasn't free agency. Deandre hopkins on the cardinals. Well, that was a trade That wasn't free agency Devonte adams on the raiders. That was a trade. That wasn't free agency, too But um, I do see what you're saying. He also said old dale beckham jr to the rams now that Was free agency even though it was in the middle of the season once free agency starts it never stops um He said all we have done on offense was signed Willie sneeds seth robert sammy walkins. There's brian These past couple of years and by default we got murray and freeman because our backs were injured I mean, we had miles boykin and willy sneed alongside hollywood as our top three wide wide outs in 2019 on our 14 and two run while Other top young quarterbacks at the time had wide outs such as Watson and de hop myhomes and tyreek baker and old dale Very frustrating that we have a generational talent quarterback and all we have to show for is I don't like this line, but i'm only saying it because you put it in here Uh, he said very frustrating that we have a generational talent quarterback And all we have to show for is miles boykin running into willy sneed on crossing routes Hopefully rachelle babin and hollywood take us over the top. May god help us all um So just a lack of aggression by the ravens on offense uh ravens on offense ravens to me they they seem like they are a Uh potential based offense And what I mean when I say that is the ravens ravens are very really on offense just period not even just Doing a regular season, but during the off season too ravens are very potential based And what I mean when I say that is that they with potential you hope something happens But you just don't know for sure that it will As far as free agency trades early in the off season Ravens they are very quiet around this time of year with stuff like that Um, so what has been going on or really what hasn't been going on? It has been no surprise uh to anybody um, but You what ravens and and and ravens front office has trained you to think and and trained you to follow is that They are going to be some potential cap cuts That the ravens could scav scav scavage through and bring somebody in that can be a difference maker on this team Um, and they do do that. They they do sign cap cuts. They wait They wait they wait and some guys get cut usually after june 1st Then the ravens they pounce they say one man's trash is another man's treasure um, and sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't but more so on offense on offense, uh, yeah, it's It's been rough so You get what you pay for um, and my thing like I know whenever we talk about the offense a lot of people say, hey Well, look at 2019 even look at 2018 2020 we we led the league in a I think point differential from 2019 2020 Uh, and then of course 2021 we all offense was doing good and everybody got hurt See but my thing is that yeah the ravens regular season They do that thing They do that thing But when it counts the most The only guys that have been showing up to play consistently in the playoffs Have been Lamar Jackson and hollywood brown and just taking Lamar Jackson now because even that bills game It was a little shaky for him. Um, but hollywood hollywood has been the biggest consistent at y receiver for the ravens in the playoffs There has been nothing else from anybody else And this is why I say to add more This is the biggest reason why I say to add more add better add quality Because regular season ravens do enough to get by They do enough to get by sometimes they make it pretty sometimes it's ugly But they always do enough to get by well when Lamar Jackson's up When he's not oh yikes But In the playoffs You need that's when your biggest playmakers they come through Your biggest playmakers come through Look at joe burrow with jamar chase And then he had his other options too Look at patrick mohones with tyreek hill and then he had his other options too Look at josh allen with stefan digs and there was the game. Wasn't it the chief's game? Was that the game where gave davis had like four touchdowns? So when you have quality options, they come through They come through So many people are so fixated on the regular season the regular season alone And and and I can understand that but i'm thinking past that I'm thinking past that so many people feel like oh, yeah ravens have been contenders for the longest Have they In the regular season. Oh, yeah And and I think everybody has a different Opinion on what a contender really is and that's fine. That's fine What I feel like a contender is may not be what you feel like a contender is and that's 2000 fine But I to me a contender Is not just somebody that shows up in the regular season but somebody that shows up in the playoffs too now Losses matter, but not not only the losses matter, but the way that you lose that matters Safe instance if the ravens they were getting in the playoffs and oh, it was these close battles these back and forth Oh, but ravens just keep losing all man. They lost by two all man. They lost by six all man They lost by three all man. They lost by one That's one thing But they don't score points in the playoffs They don't they do not score points in the playoffs That Regular season offense in the playoffs usually it vanishes Even in that titans game That offense they struggled they struggled in that one So You need more play making options You need more That's why I keep being such a big advocate for the ravens to get More now let's flip it to the defense for a little bit because y'all know we could talk about that offense all day Next question came from my guy bullet eightrex. He said do you think the ravens will sign to shon elliot? No, I don't I think um He'd be sort of like a backup A backup option like we'll hit him up just in case Maybe if somebody went down or somebody got hurt or something But I don't think he would be a priority to the ravens at all He said really loved him as a player and would love to keep him on the ravens But with the signing of williams it seems unlikely Do you see any scenario where the ravens keep elliot around? Yeah, not right now and let's let's keep it on the defense for a little bit now Mars had a question. Mars said worries about the interior defensive line. Hey engraving. Hope your day is going well Oh, it's going really good. I have some concerns about our one under discussed position That being the interior defensive line namely defensive tackle. I don't see many fans addressing Excuse me how weak the defensive line is as a whole with a lot of people hyper fixating on edge and not understanding How shallow defensive tackle right now is for the ravens Right now defensive tackles michael pierce. Obviously, uh, mattabique so Right now as it stands, we know stuff is going to change They could sign some new people. They could sign some old people They could draft some people but as of right now, it's michael pierce Mattabique with an increased roll broderick washington with an increased roll Derrick wolf, um Who am I missing? Uh, I think that's it. Uh, he said brandon williams is a free agent as his clay is camber. We lost jelly Yep, he went to the giants and mattabique fits in better as a defensive end in my opinion That leaves us with michael pierce and dale and mac. Whoa Oh, hey, you got to update your roster mad and my friend dale and mac has been long gone from the ravens long Going mac truck. He pulled out the driveway a long time ago. Um he said given that defensive tackles are rarely Every down players and how long has it been since we've had a quality defensive tackle He said big baby's been playing like a small child the last two seasons. I'm done Well, actually a big baby is younger than a small child. So that would actually be an improvement So see you thought you're distant, but you actually gave him some praise He said I wonder if you think similarly that the fan base is so hyper fixated on getting sacks from edge defenders That they aren't worrying about getting guys to create the interior pressure. Um, no Because I've been hearing a lot about a lot about both We've been talking about the interior pressure on here for a while now too Uh and because that would help the exterior pressure as well, but exterior pressure is it's empty out there too Justin houston here going ties bowser. He's hurt pernil mcfee. He's going So it's like dale and haze. He's big. He'll be coming back from injury. Not fair way He'll be coming back from an injury, but I mean his injury wasn't nothing crazy, but still so You you need both basically you you need both Um, he said to me if jordan davis is available at 14 you take him You can trade up for a job boy at the end of the first if you really want proven edge talent See, yeah, that's a tricky one right there with a job. Oh, this depends on how that recovery will go Uh, he'll be healed by the time he's needed even if that isn't by week one Then you can sign melvin ingram or just in houston or Jadavian clowny. Y'all know that's my guy uh to feeling across from away and be just fine. Oh, man Jadavian clowny coming off of nine sacks last year with the browns Him and away Both are good against the run Both are really good against the run Both are crazy fast Both have a uh burst and if we could get somebody to just create that interior pressure to with the man dog Otherwise, what do we do for defensive tackle? Not many free agents at the position are too appealing and though I love for us to sign Ogan joby he recently failed the physical for the bears. Did the bingos bring him back yet? I thought they did but maybe they didn't I don't even remember what happened with him It goes he what he told like his achillesia. He had some injury that took him out too But anyway, um, so I guess that would what would be your preferred plan to address the needs of defensive tackle And edge. Well, we just talked about edge with clowny. Um, but defensive tackle. Yeah, uh, what are the options? Adamic ensue. He's still out there. Um Maybe uh, with matter be gay, but again, you got to stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready But still with matter be gay, maybe him in an increased role with michael pierce alongside him Maybe that that could be the answer that we've been looking for as far as interior pressure Him and he will be in his third year Um, and he's shown flashes, but he just hasn't been able to really be out there consistently like that So matter be gay could be it. Yeah, if jordan davis if they drafted him, I wouldn't be mad at that at all Um, so that would add more quality depth. Um, but May Maybe they give him a chance broader watching to he wasn't too bad either. Um, But maybe matter be gay. This could be that opportunity that they've been waiting on And sometimes that's why we say you got to stay ready. So you you ain't got to get ready because when your time comes You got to show out
