We got a whole lot of questions to cover. Today is August 5th and you know what, let's just get into it. First question came from my boy TA804. He said, what's up in Raven? Hope all is well. I've been seeing roster moves opening up recently and a few names that stick out to me besides Antonio Brown are there's Brian Delaney Walker, Jordan Reed, and Josh Gordon. Out of all these names, if healthy, which guys could you see us picking up based on how you think the offense will look? Well, I know he did say he sent this question. He said that he said in a comment section of a recent video, he was like, man, every time I send a question, that person gets picked up referring to Jordan Reed because the 49ers just signed Jordan Reed. I would say, I think Delaney Walker, he would be a really good fit. Obviously Antonio Brown, we know the situation with that, but Delaney Walker, I think out of those guys, I think he would be the best fit because he's worked with Greg Roman and Greg Roman's system before. So I think it would be him. So maybe probably by the time you see this video, he probably get picked up by then. Next question came from a boy, Will. He said, what are doing, Graven? Love from California Bay Area. Oh, shout out to you. We appreciate it, man. From the West Coast. He said, quick question. I love Boykin's potential. His big body speed combo is intriguing, but I feel like he was slightly underused in this offense. True. With Hayden Hurd's shift to ATL, could you see them using Boykin as that third titan in certain packages? He might have to put on some muscle, but his blocking is already a strong point in practicing with guys like Boyle would only improve that. I can't get the Darren Waller situation out of my head and the similarities are uncanny. What are your thoughts? Oh, and you said love the channel. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it, Will. That would be cool. That would be cool. I would like that. You ain't got to make him have a full transition of titan, but if you're using in some packages, that could be cool. But at the same time, if he bolted up to where he just wouldn't, I mean, he can block, but then he would be blocking like more defensive linemen outside line backers. And that's a whole different ball game and blocking like cornerbacks and safeties. So I just wouldn't want it to get to the point where he bulked up too much and he bulked up to where he lost a lot of his speed because he still is a wide receiver. So that would be a tricky situation. And if it came to that, I would just rather him just stick to stick to receiver. I mean, you got other guys that did just sign Jair. They just did just sign Drill Adams. And they still have some, they still have Charles scoff to maybe able to see what he can do in the NFL soon. And they still do have the opportunity to sign somebody else at that titan position. So you can leave Miles Boykin where he is as a six, five wide receiver that got all the potential in the world. Next question came from my guy, Mark basket 24. He said, do you think the Ravens should try to trade for Darius Leonard so they could add more help to the linebacker position? If so, what do you think the Ravens would trade to get Darius Leonard? Now, Darius Leonard would be great on this team. He is an amazing linebacker, but it would take everything for the Ravens to get Darius Leonard, man. They would have to give up probably multiple first round picks and even more picks, maybe even throwing a player there too. But they just drafted Patrick, Queen and Malik Harris and you got to get them boys a shot. So now Darius Leonard, while it would be nice, it just, it wouldn't be worth it. And you got to get your young dudes a shot, let them come up. Next question also came from my guy, TA804. He said, what up in Raven? By the time you're reading this in NFL world, knows AB will be suspended for eight games. As a longtime Ravens fan who has experienced average to below average wide receiver cores, I'd like us to pick up AB. What are your thoughts on a two year team option with a zero tolerance contract that is cheap and may come with some incentives that could be related to on and off the field stuff? I feel like our locker room is so solid he'll fit right in with no issues. Also wanted to get, okay, before you get into that. Yeah, I mean, y'all know how I feel about AB. I wouldn't mind if the Ravens signed him, I wouldn't mind if the Ravens didn't sign him. I don't think AB is a necessity to what the Ravens need to do and how they can get there. But I feel like he would definitely improve the team, even if it will be for eight games, eight games plus playoffs obviously too. But I feel like he could come in and just and help immediately, like right away, you know, he's going to be putting in work. But I would, I think it would be a one year deal. I mean, a two year deal, if somebody signed him to that, I think that would be more so so just in case he did still have it. And if he if he ended up doing really good, they'd be like, okay, we got you for a second year too. But just a one year deal, incentives, it will be heavily not even heavily incentivized because he'd be missing the first eight games. So it would just be a deal to where yeah, I think any deal that he does sign with anybody is going to be no tolerance. I didn't think anybody going to be putting up with anything. If they see any shenanigans, most teams, they're going to be like, okay, bye. And as far as your second question, he said, I also wanted to get your thoughts on our rematch games with Casey and Tennessee. We should have a fully healthy secondary and improved experience paths Russia that are perfect against Kansas City, and an improved D line and linebacker call, which are crucial in stopping Henry. Yeah, it is big. We are going to be playing a much Kansas City going to be going up against a bunch of different Ravens team and then they went up against, especially last year, because last year, they went up against the the two and two version of the Ravens team. They hadn't gone against the Ravens, the 12 game win streak Ravens, but still no excuses. They still took care of business Ravens did not. So they'll Ravens will definitely be more equipped to take care of Casey. It's just gonna be a battle. It's gonna be a battle. I do expect us to play them twice this season. I mean, with the Titans, too, that should that should definitely be a fun game. It's always a fun game against the Titans. Things get very personal when it comes to the Titans and probably because they used to go up against each other a lot more back in the day. But it should be fun, man. And he said, again, thanks for the content. No, again, thank you for the questions and I appreciate it, man. Next question came from a boy, Zay King. He said, I ain't great and hope all is well with you and your family. We all know scoring at the goal line was not hard. However, what if we could make it way easier? I had this idea, this new goal line formation idea. Ronnie Stanley, Orlando Brown lined up a Titan, normal offense, offensive line with Mada Bique and Broderick, Washington and Tackles, Phillips and Kaleas full backs. Rick Steiner running back and going up the middle. Oh man. Wow. Wow. That would be some big boys now. That'd be some big boys. You know how the Chicago Bay, they put the fridge back there, but this would be like this would be like a whole brand smart in the backfield if they did something like that. That would be wild. I think you should try it in Madden and then see how it works out and then let us know. Next question came from a boy, Zay King. He said, I ain't great and hope all is well with you and the family. Appreciate it, man. And if in a playoff game against the Titans drops were a big issue. And in that playoff game, we saw how quick, hard ball Roman lost faith in the run. After this, do you think they will have even less faith in passing the ball? Maybe limiting Lamar to 20 to 25 passes per game. Oh, that's a good question, man. I would definitely hope not. And I don't think so because Lamar, now while he did make some bad passes in that game, he made some really good ones too. He made some really good ones. And of course, the bad will get highlighted over the good because Raven's obviously lost. But he did make some really good passes in that game. And I think that's why they got approached and that's why they got a Duvenay. And that's why it was said that they tried to trade for Deandre Hopkins. But the point is they went after guys with short hands. They went after guys who catch that football, who don't drop. So that was very important. So you can have guys that Lamar can have more trust in and guys that are known for the exact opposite of what was happening in the playoffs. So I don't think they'll necessarily limit Lamar's passing. I don't think they should. I think they just, I hope they don't limit the running of the football like what happened in that playoff game. But I don't know. I don't think the playoff game should limit Lamar's throwing. I think they do need to work on their game planning, especially in playoff moments because that's past two years and big yikes. But yeah, I don't think it'll limit Lamar's passing. Next question came from my boy Adam L. He said, Now I know over the last two months we've been talking about what moves could be made. Now that we know there will be no OTAs, no mini-cams, no pre-season, along with rosters having to start with 80 players instead of 90. All 10 of our draft picks have been signed, where it will be hard for any undrafted free agents to make the roster. Last year we had the top secondary, but our pass rush and defensive line needed improvement, which has now hopefully been taken care of. Now I know Judon signed his franchise tag for 16.8 mil. Do you think it will be smart to trade him, save for Ryan Kerrigan, now that Washington has drafted Montez with Anna Chase Young over the last two years? Also, this could free up CapSpace to bring in Jadavian Clowney on a one-year Provid deal or a veteran at a cheaper price like Everson Griffin. No, I think you might as well just ride out with Judon for this year. Judon already knows the defense, and it is a complex defense, but he knows it, he knows his role, he knows what he can do, and now he'll have more help alongside him. And the one way to think about it is that Judon did get nine and a half sacks. A lot of them came when Ravenson sent a bunch of pressure and whatnot, some of them came against Titans, but nonetheless he still got nine and a half sacks. And for him to have gotten nine and a half sacks last year when the pass rush was not good at all, just imagine what he can do with a better defensive line, better pass rush, better line backers, better speed, just a more physical, more versatile defensive line around him, and more help around him. So I think Judon, and again, he's going to be playing another contract here. So you know he's going to be trying to show out so he can get paid at Brad, man. So I don't think it would be worth it to trade Judon for a Ryan Kerrigan. And his next question was, now what I'm about to ask, I've mentioned before, but I just read an article that makes sense. So I would like to hear your thoughts. Brandon Williams has two years left, but over the last two we have drafted Dalen Mack, well, now he's going, Justin Meta BK and Braderick Washington along with bringing back Justin Ellis. So if EDC was to consider trading B Williams, it frees up 14.2 more cap space, which would open up room to sign Stanley and add picks for next season. What do you think? Now for Brandon Williams, I don't, I don't think he's going anywhere this year because I know the dead, I don't know exactly what the dead money is, but it is crazy to it. It just, it can't happen. I think next year, though, next year he could be going, he's still a really good run stopper, really good run stopper. But I think the Ravens just, they're going to want to continue to get more versatile on a defensive line. And I think, depending on how the other guys do, they could end up taking a defensive lineman early, a disruptive defensive lineman, a disruptive interior defensive lineman early in the draft next year. We just got to see, but I think Brandon Williams, this year, no, he ain't going nowhere this year, but I think next year could be the year. And unfortunately with Brandon Williams, he is a fan favorite. He's really fun, always dancing, always in a good mood, having a good time. But I just, the business side, man, it's tough. It's one of the toughest parts in football, man, when that business gets in the way, man. And that's just the part that it can't be avoided. Next question came from a boy, Jarvis Fowler. He said, how do you think the salary hit, the salary hit on the cap will affect the signing extensions? Oh yeah, the cap dropping from 198.2 mil to 175 mil. That's a big, that's a lot. That's a whole lot. Mark Andrews is Todd Heep and Jacob Breeland is Dennis Pitta without the injury. So, well now, you see, I mean, he sent this way before Jacob Breeland was waived and put on the injury list, but yeah, man, that could have possibly been something, but yeah, it's going to have a big hit on it. Because now you have approximately 25 mil less than you were going into the season with. So that makes the decisions that much harder. And that's, oh, that's, that's scary, man. Because you already couldn't keep everybody, but now you definitely can't keep everybody. And you are going to have to get really just, you're going to have to do some crazy stuff with the salary cap and with any extensions that you do give out. Because yeah, you 25 mil less, man. You 25 mil, about 25 mil in the hole already. So that just, it just makes everything that much tougher. Next question came from my boy Yozef D. He said, what's up in Graven? Keep up the great work. Appreciate it, man. I don't know if you know, but many times on the live stream, I'm very passionate about Matt Judon, and I'm very against all the hate he gets. When Judon made his real estate in KC joke, all the hate poured out on him. But before we talk football, let's talk about why he's a valuable off the field player for the Ravens. First off, he's a favorite in the locker room as well as being a defensive leader. When the Ravens put the tag on him, he made it clear that he is the type of guy that wasn't going to hold out and he's willing to bet on himself this season. So just based off of that alone, I'm confused why people hate on him. Why would anyone hate a player who is confident in his own game, and a player who is well liked by his teammates? Now, let's get to football. First off, after watching some tape myself, which I'm not great at, I found that he seems to be a smart player. I found to my liking that many people who study film for YouTube vids agree with me on that. Ravens will play a 3-4 defense, meaning that outside linebacker will drop back into coverage many more times than an edge rusher in a 4-3 defense. Being that Matt Judon is also progressing every year in pass coverage, the Ravens make him drop back more times than many outside linebackers in a 3-4. For example, in the 2019 season, Khalil Mack had 487 pass rusher attempts, 8.5 sacks. Matt Judon had 450 pass rusher attempts, 9.5 sacks. Now, I'm not saying Judon is as good as Mack. I'm just trying to get people to understand that Judon is really good. Not every team can have a great pass rusher. Let's look at Judon's stats from the 2018-19 season compared to Mack. Mack had 434 pass rusher attempts, 12.5 sacks. Judon had 366 pass rusher attempts, 7 sacks. If Judon is getting the same pass rusher attempts as Mack, 68 more, he may have been able to reach 9 or 10 sacks. In the 2017-18 season for Judon, he had 333 pass rusher attempts and got 8 sacks. I couldn't find Mack's pass rusher attempts for that year. Don't get me wrong, Judon isn't Mack or Donald or Miller, but if you look at Judon's career, he was always the 3rd edge rusher on a team. 2018-19, Judon was behind both Zadaria Smith and Tyrell Suggs and he still produced. This pass season in his first year being one of the top 2 edge rushers, he had nobody else but him who could rush the passer at an above average level. Nobody. Yet, even though he might have been the only pass rusher other teams would have to seriously game playing for, he got 9 and a half sacks. So I feel that if you hate Judon because he isn't Khalil Mack, because he ain't a star, then you'll come to realize that you are wrong. This season, Judon is betting on himself. He's the main edge rusher in his 3-4 defense. And now, he has help. Campbell, Wolf, Matabique, and the development of Ferguson and Bowser will help Judon. It's not much of a question, but if you have any comments on this, please share. Hope you and the family are healthy and happy and making the best of this summer. Go Ravens. Appreciate it man. That was something. Wow. But yeah, he's right. Judon does get a lot of hate. And I think it's for a mix of reasons. One, it just all depends on where the fans are coming from. Some fans, they feel like Judon is and all that. It's just because the, I think one of the biggest problems with the NFL and with being a football player and just one of the toughest things about being an NFL player is that everything is public. So everything is out there. Everything is in the public. But they are, they have one of the most highly criticized jobs because their job is on display every single week in front of millions of people. Think about that. If you had, if your job, if you had to work and your job was put on display for in front of millions of people every single week, so they got to critique you every move. They can watch every single play. They have film of you to watch from every single play that you've ever made. And your pay is publicized too. So they know exactly how much money you're getting every year. They know exactly how much money, they know how much money you're guaranteed to get. They know how much, how, how much average you're getting paid per year. They know all of that stuff. So that, that doesn't go in favor of these players because that allows fans to, to critique them even more because fans would be like, oh, he getting paid this much? Oh, he don't deserve that. Oh, he getting paid earning that much? What? Oh, man, he shouldn't be getting paid that much. And that happens a lot. Again, because everything is publicized. Now, you did bring up some really good, some really good information and really good numbers and whatnot. But with Judon, I think one of the biggest things with him that the Ravens are in favor of is that he's versatile. And I didn't even know that his numbers, his past rush numbers were that good. But one of the things, like, like you did mention in here, he's versatile because he, he'll, he'll pass rush, but he'll also drop back a lot too. And that's exactly what the Ravens need on the team right now. They need guys that can do multiple things and they love guys that can do multiple things. They love that. And Judon, he, he's been improving every year. That's one thing with him. You got, you got to give that to him. You got to give that no matter what side of the Judon fence you on, he has been improving every year regardless of what anybody says. And like you did mention too, something that's extremely important that is underrated is that he is a good teammate. He's a supportive teammate. He's always laughing, always joking around, happy, all that. He has fun. He has a lot of fun. And you want people on your team that are like that. I'm sure, yeah, like you did say, he is a fan favorite. I mean, he's a locker room favorite. And when you think about Judon, you think about a guy that's always smiling, joking around, making everybody laugh. And like I said, just having fun. And another thing too, Judon, he used to have a little too much fun on the field, but he cut down on all that. The, the, the, the dumb penalties that he used to get, that's, that's gone. The, the, the dumb plays that he made a couple, that's gone. Cause I remember just, I don't want to say dumb. That's, that's probably, that's not the nicest word to use. The unnecessary stuff, the unnecessary stuff. He, he got rid of that, man. Probably trying to get paid too. Cause you know, I mean, and he did, he has got, but he got that 16.8 mil, that salary, that franchise tag. And then he set up to get a deal next year. So we, we, we're going to see what happens with Judon, man. But I, I do seriously appreciate just all of this, man. You bringing up all of this and you doing your research and detail and being able to share it with a, with us here, Team Keeper Clean, man. We appreciate you, man. Next question came from a boy, Pretty Boy Swive. He said, engraving, what's up? It's pretty boy Swive. I hope I finally, finally get to be in one of your questions and answers. But anyways, how do you feel if the Ravens got three more Super Bowl titles and out of nowhere, they moved to a new state? Would you still cheer for them or go with another team? For me, it's hard, but I think it'll be 50-50. For me, I hope you're doing your family, doing good. Can't wait for you to get the one meal. Hey, appreciate that, Pretty Boy. Thank you, man. Oh, if the Ravens got three more Super Bowl, we'd be so hyped, man. We're so hyped, man. But then if they moved, that would, that would be something. That would certainly be something. That would be a dagger. And I know that, I know Brown's fans would certainly be happy if that happened. They would be jumping for joy. But if, whoa, would I still root for them? Yeah, probably would. I probably would, most likely. It's hard to say. Well, I most likely would, though. That would be some pain right there, though, man. Doing Ravens. We, as Ravens fans, would get that feeling. I mean, the Colts did it. The Colts did it. But then, yeah, they happened to the Browns, and it, that's just something, man. So, yeah, I think I still would root for them. Yeah, I'd probably still root for them, man. It would just change so much. It would be weird, man. Next question came from my boy, Brendan N. He said, I ain't great, but I hope all is well with you and your fam. Quick question. I'm looking at the top 100. And do you think Calais Campbell will become the leader on this Ravens defense? He seems to have that respect in Jacksonville and also won Walter Manning, Walter Peyton. Walter Peyton. Is it Walter Peyton Man of the Year? He put W-M-P-O-T-Y. Anyway, y'all know what I'm talking about. Walter Peyton Man of the Year. Anyway, he said, I love to hear your thoughts. My bad Brendan for putting you on blasts, man. But, oh man, better. But certainly. I think he definitely will. I think there's no question about that. He's already earned that respect, like you said, throughout his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, certainly. And even with the Arizona Cardinals, but Calais Campbell just in his voice, in the tone of his voice and commands respect. But his play does as well. Like, it could be one thing if somebody's trying to lead you, but then on the field, they can't even lead themselves. But with Calais Campbell, we've seen the production on the field and the consistent production on the field. So that can lead to him being productive off the field in his leadership. So I definitely think he's going to have that leadership role for the Ravens and that could help them go a long way. Next question came from a boy, Alberto. He said, what's up in Raven? My question is, do you think this organization is so good to the point where it hurts themselves? For example, every year we develop our defense to the point where we make them too expensive for us to keep. That's been a problem over the years from Darius Smith to C.J. Mosey. Those are good linebackers that were too expensive for us to keep. And now that our offense is getting better too, we probably won't be able to keep them either. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Keep making content and I'll keep consuming it. Like the vlogs, I appreciate it, man. Much love. Oh, this is cool, man. This is where we met at, I think this was the Ravens open practice, I think. Oh, no, this was the Cardinals game, because I see a little Fitzgerald jersey in the back, man. So shout out to my guy, oh, that never focused. It's still focusing on me. I wish I could just tap it and then go, oh, hey, there it goes. Hey, okay. Well, that focus a little bit. But anyway, shout out to my guy, man. It is a good problem to have. It's a good problem to have. Oh, man. It's like it's a gift in a crash, because yeah, you do develop these guys that end up being good, whether they fifth round picks, whether they first round picks, whether they second, whatever they are, and they end up doing so good for you, and they end up balling out. But then it's like, oh, when it's time to keep them and try to pay them, you can't afford everybody, you can't keep everybody. So people got to go. And that's a very unfortunate part of it, man. People got to go and so you lose out on players and that's part of the NFL. That's why you got to just keep on being a team that drafts well. That's why the draft is so important each and every year, because you got to keep restocking that team. You got to keep reshuffling that team. You got to just keep on building that team up over and over again, because you lose people. So you are you all right. It has been a gift and a curse and it is tough.
