 How do you feel about Marlon Humphrey calling the Ravens playoff chokers? Could the Ravens have actually gotten too high on themselves? Can the Kansas City Chiefs be the next NFL dynasty? He's in many many more questions on this episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers. YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on?

Now if you want to be part of NFL Questions from Subscribers, just send me an email at teamkeepitcleanatgmail.com or you can send something to the PO Box. The PO Box is down below in the description. Appreciate y'all. I love y'all. I'm trying to get straight into these questions. Let's do it. First question came from my boy Aiden. He said, I've heard some talk about University of Nebraska cornerback Lamar Jackson being in the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft. I just wanted to hear your takes on him and if he's a player that's worth talking about. I also wanted to know where you think he'll fall in the draft pick wise and team wise. It will be really cool if he could come to the Ravens though though that is highly unlikely. QB Lamar and cornerback Lamar would be pretty cool on the same team. So cornerback Lamar Jackson. That is something man. A cornerback named Lamar Jackson. That is very interesting that that is even a thing. Oh he's 6'3". So he's a big, big cornerback. Okay. So he could essentially, I mean we got an even marshal. But I mean you as we've seen already you can never have enough corners. You can never have enough corners. I would have to take a deeper dive. I would have to dedicate some more time to really looking into Lamar Jackson the cornerback and we can do that in a different video. But how invested will the Ravens be in drafting the cornerback? They usually draft them every year. But how invested will they be in drafting one early? Because I believe I've heard that he's definitely going first three rounds at the minimum. And he definitely won't make it past the one of the first three rounds. So with that being said would the Ravens be willing to invest the draft pick that early on a cornerback when they just re-signed Marcus Peters to a big deal when they're getting ready to re-sign Marlon Humphrey to a big deal. But they don't really have much outside of that. They still have Brandon Carr for now. They have the option to pick up his option. Jimmy Smith of course he could possibly come back. We'll see. Tavon Young is going to be coming back and he's due for a big year because again every other year Tavon balls out. Because again his rookie year he balled out. Second year he missed with injury. Third year he balled out. Fourth year he missed with injury. So again this fifth year he's due to ball out. Eamon Marshall is still there. You still got Anthony Avid who's I will see what happens with him. But I don't really see them investing too early in a cornerback position. But I wouldn't be mad if they if they did. But as far as the first three rounds right now I don't see it because there's free agency too. There's also free agency. So with there being free agency and with them having a lot of other needs and hopefully cornerback doesn't become a need it could because again Jimmy Smith could be going and I think with Brandon Carr what I think they're going to do is decline his option but then try to sign him back to a cheaper deal. So it's less of a cap here less salary blah blah blah. But I mean we'll see we'll see. So we'll take a deeper dive look a deeper look into Lamar Jackson in the future. Next question came from my boy Kevin Irvins. He said what's up in Graven. Keep up the good job. I appreciate that Kevin. He said here comes the offseason again. Wow. I know you'll have us keeping us updated. Totally appreciate you. Hey thank you for that man. He said I just wanted to shed a little light on why Seth was mad at Mink. Okay at Ryan Mink. He said LOL. He said the Ravens went 14 and 2. Who wants to leave this. Look how much fun they had all year. He don't want Mink to be insinuating that he's not coming back and we have a great chance to win it all next year. LOL. He said he overreacted but he don't want Mink to be giving the coaches any ideas and he said LOL have a blessed day. Was that it. I mean it could be. That could be a part of it. He just don't want to make it look like he don't want to be here and I mean I don't know how much I don't know how much impact the Ravens social media really would have on the coaching and their decisions. I don't really think any but I mean you never know but that's we'll see. Next question came from my boy Joshua Hoffman. He said I just watched the question from subscriber video today January 14th which was recorded before the playoff game. Jarvis Fowler sent in a question about all the Ravens having too much fun. Before the game I would have laughed that off as ridiculous more or less the same as you answered it but now after the loss which has me completely scrambling to understand what happened there I wonder if this idea had some merit. Now I'm gonna try and convince you some sports watchers don't believe in momentum. Our main man at film study Ken McCusick is one of them and I was just debating with him about that on Twitter over the fourth down attempt rather than the field goal in the third quarter. I was saying it was too risky for our momentum and he said there's no such thing. The math says go for it. I do believe in momentum because I know things like confidence, exhilaration, dejection, frustration or for this last game nausea. Nausea are real. I will rephrase Jarvis Fowler's question a little were the Ravens having so much fun because they were dealing with basically no adversity for so long and did they forget how to deal with adversity? I will rephrase that a little to make my point if they had to keep their nose to the grindstone to fight their way into a playoff spot kind of like the Titans are we seeing them have quite so much fun all season did they lose their perspective emotionally rationally of course they knew what they knew what was what but just maybe they were too high emotionally and it just maybe and it just maybe it left them unprepared for having to toughen up it's not really fun it's not really fun I'm talking about either it's the celebratory effect the exhilaration the strutting behavior we see at the press conferences some of the stuff in the games like Lamar with the bib and spoon thing or wink during the team photo with his chain out this past season I get it I was right there with them but now I don't want to see the defensive coordinator celebrating on the field until they hoist the Lombardi trophy or the Lamar Hunt trophy excuse me like you used to say about Matt Judon act like you've been there before uh when you get a sack I certainly did say that man because yeah because when he would get a sack he would just it would just be like oh I have you not gotten a sack before like you had to do this like extreme celebration but anyway he said in reality they hadn't been there and few teams have or ever will so I can't blame them this is about the future so when the playoff game got underway by the second quarter these players were having less fun than they'd imagine possible they were probably shell shocked uh where they left prepared to deal or were they left prepared to deal with that level of adversity my feeling is that they were on kind of an emotional high rightly so then a long rest then things got very tough very fast next season I'll be hoping to see them be just a bit more business like because now they have been there there's a point of celebration for this team uh they just can't be at any more until they get over the hurdle of at least some success in the postseason the franchise can't live down this loss till they win a playoff game uh rather than the super crazy joking around silly stuff presses after the game I hope to see them looking like the eye of the tiger knowing it means very little and knowing that they can do this every week but it still is not caused to be absolutely through the roof even the group photos I don't want to see a lot of that if the defense wins a game awesome it's one game celebrate how you feel but best be ready for the other shoe to drop this postseason I don't think they were ready they were ready to steamroll everybody but they weren't ready for a dogfighting bad luck fun of course uh they should be having having it if they're winning always but on an emotional high no this past season I get it but next season no I want to see them looking like they're ready for the bottom to fall out any minute being ready for that day so they can respond they can be 16 and 0 and I want them on guard I know I will be ready for the bottom to drop out come next postseason thank you thank you as always and we'll see you um yeah I can see what you're saying uh with um and yeah I did the same thing initially when um because Jarvis asked if somebody asked it uh a few weeks back to um before the Titans playoff game they asked it like during the season like Carter Ravens having too much fun and I was like no no no no no not at all um because they're winning they're they're enjoying their jobs they're having success at their profession so they deserve to have some fun um but I mean it for that the the the loss it could have been a different number of things um now and I can't even say they weren't battle tested because they had been and in games that got tough for them they um they did their thing well besides well the chief's game they they got away from themselves early and then they obviously lost it but uh in the Browns game just the fundamentals were terrible but after they tightened up and made a lot of changes especially on defense and played their game which they did for pretty much the majority of the season after that after week four things went a lot differently and when they were battle tested they responded when they uh when they they could have gotten beaten by the refs in the Steelers game the first Steelers game in the Beals game um and I think there might have been one more um but definitely those two uh where the the refs definitely made some questionable calls and uh but they they responded well against a tough tough team a the Super Bowl team um the San Francisco 49ers in an ugly ugly game with ugly ugly weather they end up getting a win and they were down in that game by seven and they came back and it was just it was a battle all throughout a super tough game ugly game but they got an ugly win um they the Beals game again the refs did get involved a lot in that a whole lot in that game especially on I think in the last drive alone the refs gave the Beals like 61 yards I believe um something like that something it's some crazy high amount but regardless it's like so that they had been battle tested they went against some tough opponents they went against some tough situations and they responded um um but with the uh could have been a time off um and with momentum I I I do I do believe a little in momentum um because you you wouldn't when it's hot you want to keep it going when it's hot you want to keep rolling and whatnot that's why initially um I was not a big fan of them resting the starters uh come week 17 I understood the health aspect and I understood there was a lot of people saying oh well what the stealers they may try to hit Lamar dirty um so I could I could understand that but at the same time I was like a little worried about that but I wasn't like overly concerned and when they rested them I was like okay cool it is what it is like this team I felt like this team would have their focus on they would be mentally prepared and whatnot they'll be ready because Hubbard's been leading them Lamar's been leading them they got a lot of leadership on the team so they'll be straight when the situation comes but uh they obviously weren't um and I mean leadership made some bad decisions um there was some poor execution of course uh but I just were they having too much fun no but I can understand why you feel the way you feel about next year like if if if you don't want them to be jumping up and down jumping for joy after every play I still would like them to have fun but at the same time they'll need to realize like hey um we like we we doing all this and I mean I I like like Lamar this year like Lamar he was a perfect example he had a lot of fun on the field a whole lot of fun but every press conference every presser every interview he would always say the same thing I'm trying to get to the Super Bowl oh Lamar Jackson you're the MVP you're looking like an MVP this season what do you say about that I'm trying to get to the Super Bowl oh Lamar Jackson you just got the highest speed and mad and mad and NFL had with the franchise what do you say about that I'm just trying to get to the Super Bowl oh Lamar Jackson you just broke Michael Vicks single Russian record for a quarterback what do you say about that I'm just trying to get to the Super Bowl oh Lamar you got the most pro bowl votes what do you say about that I'm just trying to get to the Super Bowl so he had his head on straight and I think the team they follow suit but just once that playoff game hit they they just got knocked in the mouth they got knocked in the mouth and again the game plan and some decisions that were made during the game were pretty bad and again some execution was pretty bad um but I just next year I would still like them to have fun but still always know what they got to do and again like you said um in the other question too yeah until they actually get at least a win in the post season they're gonna be looked at like people people can't not that they can't take them seriously but they're not gonna take them as seriously until they do it they they're gonna look like a regular season team that just can't do it in the playoffs yet now this year they were certainly built to run it in the playoffs but we obviously know how it went so they like I said I want them to still have fun but they they they're gonna know in the back of their minds especially the everybody that was here from this past season everybody's gonna be here next season and of course the newbies too they're gonna know like last season yeah we were 14 and two and we got trounced in the playoffs they got beat down so as long as they go into the season knowing that they gotta get that monkey off of their back they should be good to go next question speaking of Jarvis Fowler came from Jarvis Fowler he said what are your thoughts on the Marlon Humphrey statement about the Ravens being playoff chokers it's true um they they are they are exactly that um they strong team ready but they got to the playoffs and they ain't they don't do anything that's that's who they are now and it's a sad harsh reality but it is the sad harsh reality and until they until they win in the playoffs that's what they're gonna be known for right now that's what they could go steam roll teams next regular season which I hope they do but until they actually win in the playoffs that's who they're gonna be next question came from a boy Eve he said uh been rocking with you for about a year now and you've been my go-to guy for Ravens news and more recently positive words after we fell against the Titans hey I appreciate that Eve thank you man he said I appreciate all the hard work and research you've put into this channel I've learned so much about the ends announced to the NFL by simply watching this channel if nobody else has told you let me be the first I definitely see this channel opening opening a radio personality door in Baltimore somewhere if you're willing to move yeah I appreciate that a lot man thank you for that well that was special man he said but finally to my question um I'm sure everybody has noticed more than how I'm finding the team as one that chokes into playoffs would you say that this was him assuming his leadership slash bad guy role and should he keep that same energy in a more focused approach reminding receivers of their drops in that playoff came during practice ooh okay so uh would you say that that was Marlon Humphrey assuming his leadership slash bad guy role so that's a very interesting way to put that a leadership slash bad guy role I think that is him establishing himself as a leader and um he's the the straightforward leader he's the guy that um obviously he's he said what a lot of people wouldn't want to say he took it there and I wasn't mad at him at all I know some people hey well I was Marlon Humphrey say that and does that mean that Marlon Humphrey doesn't want to be a Raven anymore no he's being straight up he is being straightforward straight up and he knows what this team is he knows who this team is and they have been chokers and so they it's like they got this high mighty team and then boom they fall flat they fall flat uh and it's been on the offense the past two years and it's been on play calling past two years um and execution past two years it's like um you know what's funny it's not really funny though it's kind of sad Seth Roberts and Chris Moore boy they they look exactly alike or not exactly alike but they they definitely look similar last year in the playoff game uh Lamar to a passing Chris Moore and he dropped it it ended up being interception uh this year the playoff game Lamar to a touchdown and Seth Roberts and he dropped it it wasn't an interception but anyway um yeah I do like Marlon Humphrey saying that though because he's put letting people know like hey he letting the team know putting it out there he's putting it out there he's not letting the media put it out there but he put it out there himself Ravens are played off chokers so you could take that sound bite you could take that quote and put it out there because I said it so he's letting them know and then to your next question uh should he keep that same energy in a more focused approach reminding receivers of their drops in a playoff game during practices well that depends on how many receivers in practice from the playoff game make it to the next year's Ravens practice we know Hollywood will be there but he didn't have any drops Seth Roberts I think it's a big chance that he could end up coming back so he could definitely get some reminders but we'll see what they do uh Chris Moore didn't have a I think he came out like for maybe like two snaps while somebody got hurt I forgot who it was but he didn't have a catch anything um Mark Andrews or he'll be there uh Nick Boyle he'll be there uh Miles Boykin he'll be there so yeah for the most part a lot of the guys that want to play off he'll be able to give them nice reminders like hey catch the ball next question came from laser man he said what's up this is before the AFC championship and my question is could the Chiefs be the next NFL dynasty Andy Reed is a very small coach that can draw up amazing plays like Bill Belichick they have an amazing defense an amazing offense a great scouting team for finding future talent an elite young quarterback in Patrick Mahon's and thanks and have a good day so could the Chiefs become the NFL's next dynasty um they they they certainly could um now you said Andy Reed is a very small coach he is that can draw up some amazing plays like Belichick he is uh they have an amazing defense hold up wait a minute now I don't know about that part um they're good they're a good team now they're a really good team amazing defense I don't know about that part opportunistic defense okay amazing defense uh I I I really wouldn't say that the defense can get it done like that defense is good enough to get them a suit I'm obviously they're good enough to get them a suitable because they're in a suitable amazing though no um but a dynasty does not have to have an amazing defense they don't have to have an amazing everything they just have to be a team that is built to have continued success for the long haul so and the Chiefs right now they're looking like I mean I think the biggest thing is the quarterback and the coaching coaching and the quarterback those are the two biggest things I think that can really start an NFL dynasty a franchise and a dynasty those are two of the most important things you got to have in place um because if if one of those two if you don't if you have one without the other then it can be ugly it can be ugly but Chiefs got that in place um and he said a great scouting team for finding future talent I mean yeah we've seen that uh with their draft picks uh and an elite young quarterback and Patrick went homes yeah well certainly certainly so the Chiefs they could be the NFL the next NFL dynasty I'm hoping it's my Ravens I mean for the Super Bowl this this will be a way to start it for the Chiefs if they do end up getting that win um but we'll see oh that should be a good game I honestly don't care who wins I know I before I said I was rooting for the AFC but I mean I really don't care who wins um I just do know that uh Ravens help they help mold both of these teams in the playoffs
