 Who are some free agents that could immediately improve the Ravens? Do people expect more from Ravens receiver Miles Boykin just because of his body type? The Ravens have still been having a bit of trouble with their past rush, so should they look to the player that just got reinstated, David Irving, to give them a boost?

into and this will give you all sort of something to do while you're waiting for the game to come on you waiting for one o'clock you're sitting there looking like man it's taking forever when the game's gonna start we got you covered but anyway also make sure you check out mysecretdwelling.com for my aunt the reversible masks for the Ravens and I mean really whatever team you want or whatever you want you just got to let her know hit her up and tell her in Gravenville Ascension she got you so let's get into these questions man let's do it first question came from my boy Jarvis Fowler shout out to my guy man he said if we do make a trade for alignment wide receiver or pass rusher what picks or players do you see getting shipped out well uh picks you know that famous fifth round pick you are you already know what that is but as far as I mean so the the picks can fluctuate but players I could see possibly being traded unfortunately Justice Hill Justice Hill uh maybe a Chris Moore um just because I'm just thinking of guys that just really have not been being used at all uh special team guys um possibly guys with some more uh quote-unquote significance I am not sure I'm really not sure because it seems like Ravens just need everybody that they have man it seems like they need everybody that they've been using um they really do so I don't know just the business side of me would say maybe Gus Edwards that would be unfortunate that would be very upset um I would be happy for him but I don't know man I just feel like they feel like they have so many people that are not trading and I don't see them trading judo I don't see them trading him I don't see them resigning him this year but I also don't see them trading him so I mean with EDC you just never know you pull somebody out of hat and be like hey you're going you being included in this deal so you appreciate you thank you for everything but you're gone but I just I don't really see anybody like that where it would be like a shocker that this person gets traded I don't see anybody like that being traded anybody of a certain status so to speak I don't like to say that but I don't see a majority of the roster not majority of the roster but a lot of the guys that we see every sunday out there playing a lot I just I don't see any of them getting moved man because you with Bowser you can't move Bowser because that's your best pass rusher but so maybe Bowser but yeah that's that's our best pass rusher right now so I really don't know who I don't know I have no clue who will get moved but those those the only two that I feel like would definitely be looked at first would be people like Justice Hill Chris Moore other than that I really can't think of anybody next question came from my guy Michael B he said a engraving hope you're doing well uh I'm a young Ravens fan been a fan since old seven I got two deep issues that uh combined into one and I think you're gonna understand the idea and even agree all right let's see uh he said I think we should fire wink or bring in someone else and demote him I think he should have been fired after the Chief's game think about this Andy Reed is a play calling god my home's historically is great versus the Blitz and they have six six possession receiver for over the middle who's six six on the unless you're talking about Travis Kelsey but besides him who's six six but they have a six six receiver for over the middle every time or every receiver they have can take the top off a defense at a moment's notice uh pair that with Pat my home's Russell Wilson like mobility and three backs that are beyond capable of either lining up in the slot or catching out of the backfield and can take any screen to the house on any given play now does that sound like someone you would want to blitz now this part I feel like he should be fired for is the fact that other teams in the league most recently Chargers Texans Patriots Raiders all got the memo not to blitz him obviously degree of success varies but for some reason wink after playing the Chiefs two straight years in the seasons prior in two years worth of film study are still willing and went and pulled out that gimmicky blitz and got torched up and it's so frustrating that was so frustrating is that even during the game the commentators even said they noticed the Ravens did better when they just drop back in coverage and wink still didn't notice it that's in my humble opinion is a man worried about his ego and doesn't adjust according to the opponent week to week he just brings the blitz and hopes that it works and when it doesn't it's ugly so yeah it has been ugly I wouldn't say fire or wink I would say just ride the season out with him it's like it got really bad like really bad that was just one game now now where are you seeing fire wink when they got what seven sacks on the bingles uh well I mean I guess you are because you you sent this uh today um oh it's your Saturday when I'm recording this uh so I guess so but but wink is it's that what would I say about wink all the time man he's in a tough spot because his pass rush can't do anything they haven't been they haven't been doing anything so he's forced to end up blitzing all these corners these linebackers different people with different places to try to generate some pass rush and I understand his goal he was trying to generate some pass rush on Patrick Mahomes and it rarely worked sometimes it did a tiny tiny amount but most of the time it didn't so you got to make adjustments you got to just yeah I'd say pull them back for a little bit pull back the reins um and and hold back on the blitz for a little bit and and one thing with wink one thing I've seen with this defense while overall they have been they've been good haven't been great they've been good uh if you grade in all five games together they've been they've been good um but the thing with them is that they they have to start really accounting for players a lot better because if you see a player just going off on you all then the chief's game was the worst chief's game was the absolute worst because Clyde Edwards Alaya he kept catching passes out of the backfield and entire first half I'm like okay they'll adjust second half he's doing the same thing and Travis Kelsey was wide open the entire game so that was frustrating it just it was just that game was just bad for the defense because they were all over the place the communication was poor uh it was just a terrible effort but I would I disagree with the the fire in him right now and you said I feel like the scheme has to change I've been noticing a problem even with Dean P's reckless blitzing versus the wrong teams I think DC's get an understandable higher ego boost when they dial up a great blitz so a game plan that rattles a QB like last week versus Joe Burrow uh my problem with the Ravens and their notorious exotic blitz packages is that they give up easy screens and plays over the middle of the field my bigger problem is that it only works for it only works versus young QB's journeymen backups and teams are really bad offensive lines hmm or QB's who hold the ball too long now Joe Burrow and uh Deshaun Watson um I've seen this defense time and time again get called up by vets who don't even got to be great just experienced enough to see through their fake complexity of the Ravens blitz scheme uh we make excuses for them by saying there's no password so they they have to artificially create pressure and get it uh oh and I get it corners can't cover forever but let them earn their money we have in my opinion the best or second best secondary in the league so let Marlon and Marketson company earn their money isn't that what you pay them for versus people like Mahomes or other good to great quarterbacks I think it's way smarter to simply rush five to six occasionally and let's see if the White House can beat all DB's that we paid good money for that's a good point it all just depends on the game though it all depends on the game then he said I'm all I'm actually okay with blitz and it's just the way that we do it that seems dumb like you're trying to look cute and outsmart people but but all you're doing is hurting yourself Ravens fans will see that 27 three versus Bengals are upcoming Eagles game and think it works but forget what happened the last two Chiefs games well I don't think anybody forgetting about that but you know some some people probably do but you know we on here we don't we don't uh we we definitely talked about how with the Chiefs game um with the Chiefs game or actually with the with the Bengals game and with the Washington game which happened both happened after the Chiefs game the pass rush ain't fixed it's not fixed now it's a good thing that the Ravens were taking advantage of those bad teams and those bad offensive line but the pass rush certainly ain't fixed so we still got some work to do on that but anyway um he said uh or even 2018 versus Saints and Panthers if you remember if you know you know ironically the game before the Saints and Panthers beat us we sacked Marcus Mihajota seven times you get the trend here if the opposition has a competent old line or has a QB with a real IQ then it's pretty easy to beat um so it certainly has been frustrating uh with the uh the blitz the pass rush it's been tough um but they just trying to create pressure and yeah it does usually work better on younger more inexperienced quarterbacks but you gotta try to get pressure on everybody and that's what the Ravens want they want pressure they want that pressure they want they want these QBs that they're going up against to get hit to get rattled to get flustered and all that and it's like but if you just sit back and just let your front four if you just rush three or four and you just have the corner backs drop back that's cool with that but if the quarterback got all the time in the world yeah I got to say what you're saying you're gonna earn that money but at the same time the quarterback got all the time in the world just sitting back there waiting oh is he open oh he ain't open here does he open yeah oh no he ain't open let me just wait a little bit longer I mean just waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting and we still ain't getting no pressure somebody eventually gonna come over somebody eventually gonna come over because the cornerbacks they can't cover forever um so Ravens I think is just more of a personnel issue it's more of a personnel issue um now what you said about the screens that's big because Ravens have been getting eaten alive by these screens eating alive and that's in every game where teams use the screens against them they are eating eating alive every just about every time the Chiefs of course they always just kill the Ravens with that but the Washington football they were really getting the Ravens with that man they were getting them bad with that one now the Bengals game they defended a little bit better but again that's the Bengals that's the Bengals so now we'll see how they do today against the the Philadelphia Eagles that's just gonna be something to watch out for see how this defense does against them but I know you're gonna be watching extra heavy extra close and probably extra agitated too next question came from a boy Jonathan D he said first and foremost I want to give you a shout out for always providing great content I've been watching you for almost two years now and this is by far the best uh I've seen so keep up the great work here I appreciate it Jonathan thank you my question is I know the team is still lacking in wide receiver right guard and edge rusher and tight end and the front office is looking for big splash trades now why haven't they looked in free agency because I've looked and I've seen some notable names on there for example right guard Larry Wolford Josh Klein Kyle Long all three are good at run blocking and experience wide receiver Muhammad Sunoo Taylor Gabriel Quincy Annua all three are good at working the middle of the field uh edge rusher Cameron Wake Clay Matthews Toriel Suggs greatest setting edge and situational pass rush tight ends Delaney Walker Charles Clay Ed Dixon great third down and they can move the chain if it was up to me I would get Larry Wolford make him an immediate starter uh Taylor Gabriel to stretch the field and work the slot with Duvenay well that's one that a lot of people been talking not a lot of people but a few people been talking about Taylor Gabriel bring some more speed on here and really open up that field because they I'm so tired of talking about that man but edge rusher clay Matthews rotate them in with Bowser and Ferguson since Wink is sending everyone look at he on the same page as my guy from before tight end Charles Clay he's a great blocker and can be a situational third down stretch the field and seam route tight end what are your thoughts and again thanks for the great content I appreciate it man um I I agree I could see some of these things going down like right God man we just did the video that came out yesterday I'm talking about the Raven's most important position that they need to improve me and I really do believe that that position is right God and really just the offensive line as a whole they need to get that offensive line set man they got to get it set because that's been the biggest problem this entire season so far the offensive line um Larry Warford he was what he get cut from the saints I believe and nobody picked him up still I thought he got picked up already but I guess not um wire receiver again Taylor Gabriel I think Quincy and new one got like a neck injury or something like that I don't he's a free agent but I don't think he's healthy uh Mohammed snow he's healthy but yeah so um it's just these are some good options especially the Laney Walker I thought the Laney Walker would have got picked up by now and I mean he's sitting out there he knows Greg Roman's offensive scheme he got experience with it and he got experience in the league too and you know Ravens they're missing that third tight end man you can't tell me no uh no otherwise man they are missing that third tight end big time so uh a lot of these that you said they they make sense next question came from my boy uh Louis he said hey what's up in Gravenhopal as well got a bit of a long one for you it's a two-part question he said number one do you think that people expect more from Miles Boykin solely because of his body type ah I say this because when you look at similar similarly built receivers like DK Metcalf he is way outperforming our similarly built receiver when you see DK Metcalf a tall wide body receiver doing the things he's doing in Seattle then take a look at our tall wide body receiver I feel like people can't help but wonder why Boykin can't do the same thing I think oh that's that's a part of it because of his frame because that's the first thing that so many people talk about is including me I say man it's dude 6465 and he got he got the frame he could be boxing people out going for the jump balls but what people have seen from that is just that lack of a being aggressive that lack of aggression like gonna attack the football going to get it but we don't see that from him so it's been very frustrating as Ravens fans and we just hoping that something can click out for both him and Lamar to where they can be in tune together because that's another big part of it as well and other people have talked about that they feel like Miles Boykin may have possibly checked out of the game because I know my guy Enonic mentioned it in his question from subscribers that Miles Boykin may be going through practice and whatnot he may be catching some passes in practice but then every time game comes around it's like nothing nothing gets thrown in his way and so he's not getting an opportunity so he might he may be like man what's the what's even the point and that would be unfortunate but it could be possible so hopefully that's not the case and then you said question two do you think something happened to Lamar before his injury that caused him to miss practice I say this though I say this because even though I know he is fast he still looks like he is half a half step slower in terms of putting his effort in running comparing his agility speed and overall looseness from last year to this year you can obviously see it's not the same I feel like something happened way before his announced injury that kept him from practice and with how the Ravens like to play with that injury list I wouldn't put it past him to announce any nagging injury that Lamar might be dealing with yeah that's something that some other people been thinking of too maybe he's dealing with another injury that they just they're not trying to disclose because they know if um they know if they disclose an injury they know teams would attack it they know teams they the teams would be all over that they will be all over that if uh if Lamar had an injury so they I'm sure they wouldn't want to even make mention of it because it's like oh man if he got an injury that he's dealing with and that could explain a lot why the Ravens have been passing so much that could explain part of it but if he's dealing with an injury then that could be very scary um if they put it out there and then teams they start gunning for him because this football is a nasty league and you know people like to do that so if he did have an injury that would definitely explain some more things that have been going on and the last question on this episode of question from subscribers came from my boy Sean C he said hey this is Sean my question is knowing that the Ravens are in the market for a pass rusher what do you think about David Irving David Irving just got reinstated by the NFL and he's now a free agent he just turned 27 and there's a great pass rusher who was a pretty good run stopper as well I think the Ravens should go out and sign him he would take a cheap deal and it would help the Ravens pass rush out tremendously he's six seven two 82 and has a wingspan of seven uh feet five inches Ravens nation what do you guys think it kind of hurt put him on a practice squad your brain meant for a workout see how he is see what type of shape he's in and if you like him you can put him on a practice squad then call him up for game day we talked about this in the live stream that we did um a couple days ago uh this exact scenario so yeah it ain't like you're gonna have to come in so much money to him you can sign him to the practice squad and then boom you call him up for a game they see how he is and and if he if he's like really good to go then you can call him up to the active roster and then he could be on a team for good then so it could be a simple like simple solution if he looks good if you bring him in for a workout first and if he looks good then boom hey you want to practice squad my friend and then once once you activate him for that first game day and if he's looking apart you try him again for a second game day and you can even protect them because you can protect four people on the practice squad every week so if he looks that good you can protect them so nobody can steal him off your practice squad and then if he looks that great then say hey welcome to the team
