Thank you, and thank you for everybody for supporting the channel I'm recording this on September 16th So this is after we get the news about the Ronnie Stanley injury after we get the news about the Chris West your injury So hopefully by the time you see this video We do not have any more news on any other injuries because this has just been wild I love y'all team keep it clean. We got some great questions as we always do Let's do it first question came from bird squad. He said what's up in gravy? I've got a semi quick question not with all the letters that I see in this email He said I'm trying to figure out what the Ravens biggest need is so if you could select any player in the NFL and bring him to the Ravens Who would it be basically which player around the league? Do you wish would be a free agent think as if it were Madden and you could have any player on the squad without losing anyone? I know we can't just get whoever we want to but this would definitely help us figure out What to look for and you never know GMs may watch team keep it clean so which player in the NFL Would be a given for us to win a Super Bowl if there is one I have my guy But I just wait till the video drops. Anyway, man can't wait till oh this was before the Yikes the the stream for the Raiders game, but now I appreciate it. Um now given the Raven situation Before it would be why I receive it before the injuries and stuff would be why I receive it But right now it'd be just a really good offensive linemen and a really good left or right tackle So I whether be Trent Williams, I think that will be just a really really good one Man and even on offense, I would say like a Trent Williams I can't really think of the I cannot think of all the top offensive linemen off the top of my head right now I guess cuz I'm just I'm a little distraught right now with all the injuries at the Ravens just because it's been a week It's been a week like the loss is one thing loss was like, okay, whatever we lost All right, we got 16 games left. All right, but the injuries is like really what's been getting to a lot of us And it's like man, he just keep piling up but I would say a premier left tackle and then on defense somebody like a TJ White um a Yeah, TJ White like a Tredavious white A very rangey rangey safety some something like that. So yeah, that's what that's the direction I will go Next question came from my god Jeff J. He said, thanks for your podcast after the game. Appreciate you listening to it Always a good listen Raven's offense doesn't seem to have a system It's either 20 yard or more pass or run playoff tackle so predictable Maybe it's just because it's the first game of the season But why did Tyson Williams stop getting carries? He was a beast the first quarter. All right. So with that Timing is always everything. He's in this on September 14th But today is the 16th and the Ravens today had a pressure that featured Greg Roman and he explained why Tyson Williams stopped getting carries and he said that he just wanted to get all the other running backs involved That was it. That's what he said And he said oh the days of that just only going and using only one running back those days are long gone That's in the past That's not happening now So that's why he stopped giving carries of Tyson Williams now Of course, I don't expect and we shouldn't expect the Ravens to really dive into the why he stopped getting carries But one would have to think it was a pass protection thing one would have to think it was a uh, just the the the the miss Communication with the snap Oh with the handoff, excuse me not the snap between him and Lamar one would have to think it might have been the fumble That was that he fumbled us out of bounds all those things But still even still I just Yeah, so anyway, that was that that's what Greg Roman said He also said Hollywood was getting some passes as well He sure was hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes made in this game defense I'll give them a c plus some big plays for stops, but stop still giving up the big chunks of yards They'll learn also must give props to the raiders much improved team I agree next question came from my guy Carlos. He said in graven. It's been a while since I sent in a question Hope you're doing great and your family as well. Appreciate it man. Uh, hit me out Let's get Ingram back for seven seven round picked tops or late sixth rounder Get him back. He knows how to run with Lamar and the point of exchange is way better than any of these other new guys For the time being should cleveland start. Uh, oh should Ben cleveland start at right tackle And have Patrick McCarty move to left guard or move via Nueva Alejandro To the left guard spot. What do you think? Wow, so this is crazy because he sent this on september 14th The Ryan Stanley injury news didn't come out until september 16th, which is today So he was already on or something even before Um, so with mark Ingram if they traded a six or seven round for him to come back I wouldn't mind that but I just don't see it happening. I don't I really don't Um, now the the second question should cleveland start at right tackle That would certainly be something um, but I would rather him start at right tackle Well, just based off of body size alone because Patrick McCarty he got like short arms and he just Ah, I'm a little worried for him to be all right tackle. I really am um But hey, what's the worst that could happen at this point man? Um, so with Ben cleveland I don't I don't even know what I want these Ravens to do because this is just it's a mess right now Alejandro is getting ready to go back to left tackle. So he could scratch that part of the question out Um, but at right tackle, I would just rather some but uh, but Patrick McCarty He like low to the ground like a little pit bull little pit bull playing offensive lineman um So I guess when guys try to get underneath them, it'll be nice because he'll be he'll be low to the ground But at the same time it's like man I don't know man. I'm just I'm I'm very worried about this offensive line man I am very worried because they were already bad enough with the starters and now they just they lost Two starters and Ronnie Stanley and Terry Phillips. Um, so now Vinoeva going back to his original position that could help him Um, but as far as everybody else, I'm just I'm very worried and then he said third the point of exchange is what lost What was lost with the new guys do you think it will take long to get that down? Thanks for hitting me out and hope you continue to have success. Appreciate it And now I think just repetition All it's going to take is repetition for them to really get that down and then after that It should be smooth sailing this question came from my guy Ricky B So they ain't graving love watching the videos or watching videos every day. Hey, appreciate it man Every time I get a notification of a new vid I get so hype Sorry to be so long-winded, but I have a couple of questions regarding the offense Uh-oh with the offense Do you feel like the offense evolved over the years with Lamar Jackson as quarterback? Uh, yeah, of course for sure because Ravens were never ever a consistent offensive team and it's like just Y'all imagine when we complain about the offense nowadays They like even the other day against the Raiders. We complain about the offense. Oh, they scored 27 points If we could get a Ravens offense of the past To score 27 we be jumping and screaming and celebrating That's how spoiled we become with offense But it's because we know their potential. We know that it can be so much better But this as with with the winner Ravens offense does bad that look at they scored 27 points They scored 27 points So, yeah, they certainly evolved for sure 1000% He said every year we get preseason hype about the offense evolving, but I don't see it My next question does and can Lamar call audibles at the line of scrimmage when reading the defense He said, yeah, he's he they asked him in the press to the other day He said, yeah, you could check out a plays and stuff call different plays switch stuff around and whatnot So, yeah, and he's done that before over the years too He said I feel as though once the play is called by g-roll. That's it Like before the snap, I don't see any pointing or talking to the offense to change something because of something He reads in the defense the Brady's Rodgers and my home's always pointing and pre snap calling audibles because of reading the defense I'm not saying Lamar doesn't know how to read defenses But maybe he just needs more command of the offense and freedom to audible plays I thank you for all you do for the Ravens nation fan base sincerely Ricky beat Appreciate that Ricky. Um, so, yeah, he he has he said that he does it He said that he does it. We see it sometime. We don't see it like all the time So, yeah, that would be a good idea if Lamar just took more control of that offense And it was like, look G-roll I got this Let's let's do it my way. I would love to see that. I am maybe we have already. I don't know But I would love to see what Lamar just where he like really really run the show Next question came from a boy laying C. He said hope everything's good with the fans Sorry, I wasn't able to attend the live stream. Don't ever apologize for that. That's all good, man But I was able to watch the Ravens game and I think we have to really think that Justice Hill is in danger Tyson Williams burst the speed and ability to maneuver is amazing with gusts and jk dobbins as our power backs I think he's a solid second or third option. Yeah, he certainly is He said, what are your thoughts on Alejandro Villanueva? I'm in high school and played a tackle position on offense and when I look at him move He does everything right, but he doesn't play aggressive enough. He doesn't get his hands on the ends Cries be played amazingly and really stood him up and my final thing Oh, well, okay. So before you get into the final thing with Villanueva Whenever you've been doing something for so long and then you're asked to do the same thing, but In a completely different way It's not doing the same thing. It's completely different. So it can be a big challenge So with Villanueva, he had a very frustrating Monday night football game So imagine how much fans have were frustrated with his performance imagine how he himself is frustrated with his own performance So we just got to give it time give it time and just hope that it gets better All right, so my final thing is what kind of threat do you think the raiders and the chargers Put on Kansas City as far as winning in division because we know patching my homes is great But the raiders and chargers are looking nice and we can't forget the raiders were having back and forth games last year with the raiders They certainly were What oh, I think you meant the raiders were having back and forth games last year with the chiefs But I understood what you meant, but it's all good. Um They're definitely a threat because of the how familiar they all with the chiefs in the same division So anybody that's in the same division with you that goes against you two times a year They're always going to be a threat because they play you at least Twice sometimes in the case of the playoffs, they'll play you three times But they play you at least twice. So they start to really know your tendencies next question came from my guy Seth T. He said, what's up engraving? What's up, Seth? I've been listening to your videos on my 45 minute drive to and from work Oh, yeah You got plenty to listen to them. I appreciate that man, which helps a lot I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the Ravens and making sure everyone is in a positive state of mind Hope all is well with you and yours appreciate that Seth because that's important man Because again, we all know that people going through stuff Everybody got something that they're going through man. So yeah, man, I appreciate that I'll be straight to the point because I know others have questions as well Speaking from an overall standpoint Do you believe our offensive line is holding us back and could be improved with the cutting Of Villanueva and replacing him with Mitchell Schwartz. Or is this too far fetched due to paying the man The line lacked to protect. Boom. There you go. You already answered your own question Alejandro ain't going nowhere this year Nowhere his contract was always set up to where he'll be here this year and the next year they probably end up cutting Um, but for this year, he's here Ravens are paying him. He got I think like six points Some guaranteed something like that, but he's staying now. Um for him to be benched It would take a lot a whole lot and now with Ronnie Stanley being hurt Yeah, he is probably not gonna happen like at all Um, so I definitely wouldn't even count on that now Mitchell Schwartz That could be something and it just depends on if he still want to play football now I don't know what his status is. Um, I don't know what his situation is right now So I I can't say but it would just all depend on him and if the ravens even wanted him too Because that's I mean they gotta want him first Uh, and he said you you can't let little brother take hits Especially in the pocket And or since his bread and butter is using his legs to create opportunities with passing or breaking some ankles himself Now with you saying that um, you said his bread and butter is using his legs to create opportunities Uh, that is obviously a big part of his game, but Yeah, if if you had the offensive line to protect him He wouldn't have to use his legs as much now. He's still gonna make his players with his legs now But if he had the offensive line to protect him that would just make everything that much easier I appreciate your time and you have a good rest of your week And take it easy appreciate yourself and question came from my guy Jonathan D Today in graven. Hope the family and everyone is doing good I know more questions and concerns are going to come up from ravens fans Since we lost our week one match up against the raiders So i'm going to try to keep it short. This uh, this is not short at all He said he's gonna try to he ain't say he was he said he's gonna try to but anyway He said uh as fans, uh like me We get concerned when we see the problems early in the season Especially in week one upon watching the game against the raiders I couldn't help but notice how our offensive line was still a problem and yes, it is inexperienced There is no chemistry It's a revamped to the offensive line with new faces fresh starts and our best laugh tackle It's coming back from injury and now he is injured But our right tackle was our biggest problem throughout the game Example both fumbles by lemar happen on the right side of the field if the tackle finished the block They would never pursue lemar on the back side. Ooh or finish blocks And get to the second level, but hey, i'm still going to hold lemar accountable Majority of pressures hurry throws happen because of the right side concerns I think we need to find the right tackle now. He put now in all caps Here's my reason week one is in the books and we dealt with yannick and max crossby We have 16 more games left on the schedule. We are facing the whole nfc north AFC west and of course our division the afc north twice and dolphins rams and colts Let's look a little bit deeper nfc north calil mac akeem hicks Preston and zedaria smith the nail hunter and anthony bar yikes AFC west yannick max crossby. We lost that game brally chub chris jones frank clock is our next batch of enjoy postal yikes afc north tj watt twice myles gear jadevan clonnie twice yikes dolphins ammanuel agba drone baker rams and donnell Surprisingly, where do majority of these players line up on the right side? Where do most of these players pressures come from the right side except for erin donnell? He pressures on the inside, but he's commanding double teams and triple teams Which leaves one on one on the right side out of all these matchups I expect our right tackle to dominate in four games the colts lions bingles and in the bingles twice Based on this observation. Do you think it's time to find a new right tackle now before later? There's some experience guys left on the open market and there's some trades that can be done I'm not the type of fan to give up on a player But if pass rushes can wreck a game as we all witness week one Can we trust that greg roman will make play calls to get the ball out quickly? Oh Boy Or running backs and tight ends by committee to chip block and help out Or should we just trust adi hondro v and waiver to step up like taylor luan from the tight end Said after being dominated by channel jones. What do you think? Thank you and sorry for the long message and built up frustrations It is all good my friend because we are all going through it together. Um Now again this this came before the injury news to ronnie stanley So if v didn't even move to left, uh, what are they gonna be the options at right? Um I would say They see how they they they try it in house first So they try it in house first see how it goes and see how it goes for a couple of weeks I think they do that first And hopefully no more injuries But see how it goes for a couple of weeks and then if if it just really is no improvement at all Then you you you look to trade for somebody Um, you you because you got draft picks You got draft picks, um So you look to make a move for somebody who that somebody would be I honestly can't even think anybody right now, but Just an offensive lineman that plug-and-play guy that can come in right away help out Uh, and just make the offensive line that much better, but hopefully in house That gets it done next question came from mary cage today in graven. Hope you and yours are well Hey, we doing good. Do you feel like with all the injuries some of the players who were brought in Have not even had a chance to work with them or all the ravens offense And they really just need a couple of weeks to get acclimated. Please tell me your thoughts on this Okay, I feel you so all the injuries held them back from sort of practicing together um As far as offensive line Yeah, but as far as uh, the running backs too Like levy on bell, you don't know lamar's game like that. I mean he watched it, but he hasn't played in it Uh davante freeman. Let's see how he does latavius murray even tyson williams because tyson williams He was working with like tyler huntley. He wasn't working with lamar So it's a big adjustment because these injuries like popped up out of nowhere with jk and gust and then it's like boom He was thrown into the mix now as far as the wide receivers They've been working with him. So that's that's why that that had been straight like with the wide receivers Especially sammy walkers and hollywood that flow of the connection. Um, that was fine. And of course, you know mark andrew They got the connection. You know mark andrews with that the little drop. But anyway, um So for for the running backs. Yeah, that could be a problem there offensive line Yeah, and no, but Yeah, no, so it's it's it's a mix of both, but that's a real good observation Next question came from greg from bmore. He said, what's up? Hope you day is great Remember last year raiders upset the saints, although obviously saints were better team last year than them overall So i'm not overreacting to the ravens losing but those fumbles still hurt while figuring out and adjusting to injuries. Hopefully we don't even Uh go 0 and 2 I still think we'll get to january. But my question is With ali hondro at right tackle if that continued if he continues to struggle Remember this is new for him being at right tackle and it's just been one game Could you see macari replacing him later or a possible trade for tackle or a crazy thought? I don't see happening But if it improves the line move stanley to right tackle and vietnam waver to left just for this year He said he said and again he sent this on september 14th He said, I know it's not happening don't want it to happen and stanley should stay at left no matter What it was just a thought is all anyway keep doing what you're doing And boom it's happening now Everything that he said in his email minus. I mean stanley obviously got hurt, but he said again Could you see macari replacing ali hondro at right tackle boom is happening? Could you see? Via nuova going to left tackle boom is happening And now again the stanley thing it couldn't happen because he got hurt But hey He ended up calling it next question came from my god dealing jay. He said they ain't graven Hope you and yours is doing well. We're doing really good dealing. Appreciate it We all saw the game on monday and it's quite obvious the offensive line was incredibly underwhelming in protection There are a few free agents available that I'd be happy to see us at least bring in to see if it's better than what we got What do you think about the likes of rick wagner or russell o'cong at tackle and forest lamp at god? Oh, you trying to upgrade everything I see i'm thinking a trade for any sort of upgrade would be expensive if not impossible not impossible But depending on who you get if you're getting a starter Yeah, you're gonna have to pay pay some uh Some capital some draft capital, but not impossible. But as far as rick wagner, um rick wagner would be an interesting one because he Was contemplating retirement. So you don't know what his head is uh russell o'cong wasn't he like a Wasn't he really like a really high pick? I think he was I forget though. But anyway, um, so that's a possibility Uh, and again, you never want to count anybody out. You never want to be like, oh, it's a reason why they're free agents Um because I mean it could be but at the same time these guys could come in and ball out Just like lj ford and josh binds did when ravens picked them up out of nowhere and people like what? Just like with uh, dom pico and justin ellis did when ravens picked them up and a lot of people like what? um, so Yeah, it's it's possible and I think um, I just think it would take the ravens exhausting all their in-house options First before they made a move next question came from ejd. He said ain't graven. What's going on tough loss last night? Hope all is well. Uh, why do the ravens blitz and play man so much? It's like they don't know how to play zona zone blitz cover zero or one on the other team's side of the field It's not good play calling. Do you see wink going a little more conservative because we will get smoked Playing this way against the chiefs No, I don't I don't see wink going more conservative. I don't see wink holding back the blitz I don't see wink. Um Not russian not russian seven or not russian less than seven or sometimes eight or nine or ten or no Um, I just I don't wink wink. I don't think he is going to change his philosophy as a defensive coordinator Um, just because it's not working now. Um one thing my my biggest concern with wink is not even oh stop blitzing so much Well, it can be but Endgame adjustments man Endgame adjustments you you you can have you it's it's okay to have a strategy for an opponent to to come up with a game plan For an opponent and you're going through the game and whatnot and and you see okay. That's this strategy isn't working It's okay to change it up It's okay to be like, you know what? No, this This ain't working. We we got to switch stuff around We we got to we got to change this up And sometimes I don't know for sure. I can't say for sure But sometimes it seems as if There may be a Strategy that he has for for opponents and he just he sticks with it no matter what even if it isn't working Like my thing will be okay if in the first quarter it's not working. All right, cool He's still trying throughout the first quarter. Okay, you're trying but it's not working. All right, cool Second quarter you're still trying it. Okay, cool. You don't want to give up on it What not but all right second half if it if it just wasn't still wasn't working change it up switch it up Adjust adjust to what they're doing So because because you just because players know too They can see that stuff I'm sure they have plenty of conversations with wink and stuff too because they they always say it's a player's coach man People love wink. They love them um, so I would just say the the adjustments just they they got to get better this question came from crystal s Say good morning. I hope you and the family are doing fine. Oh, we're good. I appreciate it She said I stayed up watching the game and just kept saying to my husband They are letting Derek Carr throw everywhere Ravens only got to him a couple of times where as Lamar was sacked more than Derek Carr I am not too good with the names of everyone on the team But I think that queen and whoever else that was supposed to get to the quarterback Just did not do their job the corners. The rookies just let the raiders catch the ball We had to leave but we could not keep it Lamar did good But he should have run more to put them away when we had the opportunity to do so They will struggle with the chiefs. I'm sad to say have a good day and blessings to you and the family Appreciate it crystal. Um, and yeah, the game was certainly a struggle Against the raiders. There was a lot of frustration a lot of things they could have done better Um, we just wish they would have finished drives more. Uh, just converted some third downs more Made some some some passes were caught. Um instead of dropped The running game was better. The offensive line was better. The defense was better Um, to me, I feel like the biggest letdown in the raiders game was actually the defense in my opinion I really do um from the uh Just took the still the lack of a pass rush Um, the lack of a consistent pass rush and especially when our offensive line is supposed to be way better than this And often offensive line got dulled There's was it was up and down early on but they started they started holding down for Derek Carr Because he yeah, like you say he was throwing all over the field um But it's just I just my biggest thing was uh At the end of regulation They got 37 seconds. It's like, all right Ravens defense 37 seconds to a team and they ain't got no time out seat. Oh, please just tackle them in bounds Just don't give up nothing crazy. We'll be straight. No Nope didn't hold it down So, uh, and now you facing the chiefs this week
