So them being sent to the email teamkeepitcleanatgmail.com them being sent to that email has helped out tremendously so I thank you all for that. This is the very first episode of NFL Questions from subscribers that we're doing after the bingles game and we got a lot of questions to answer. Let's do it. First question, well more so a comment came from Crystal Spriggs. She said that game was something else and she was referring to the 49ers versus Seahawks. You know what, me and my wife and Carter, we had went to Bonefish Grill last night. We had got there probably about like 7, left about 8.30 because we had a coupon. That's the only reason we go to Bonefish Grill. Their food isn't nasty. Their food is good but they just give such small portions. So the only reason we go there is when we get a coupon because they send it in the mail like maybe like once every like 4, 5, 6 months something like that. But anyway, we went there last night and we, because today is Tuesday, oh yeah y'all like to, y'all like me to let y'all know when I'm recording these. So this is Tuesday, November 12th. So there you go. We went there last night, ate, came home. I started watching the game. I started watching it right before halftime and then all three of us we ended up falling asleep. We all ended up falling asleep. So I didn't get to watch the end but I heard it was very good and it went to overtime and all that. And then Jason Myers kicked the game when the field goal. So the Seahawks won. I was not surprised at the Seahawks won, especially with the 49ers. They didn't, I don't believe they had George Kittle that game. Anyway, so I didn't get to see it but I heard about it. What she said, that game was something else. If we beat the Seahawks, we can beat the 49ers. And I agree. I agree with the Ravens. I think the Ravens can beat anybody really. They just, it's a matter of them playing their game and the defense really playing their game too. So that's true. Next question came from my boy Enonic. He said, engraving I got a quick question for you. Is that a such thing? Let's see. He said, well I guess it's really on me because I don't really make many questions quick. He said, in your opinion, now we're seven and two. What are your two areas of concern? Ooh, see that's not a quick question. It's not. But I know my answers already if I know what this is going. But he said, what are your two areas of concern? Offensively and defensively that could derail, oh derail the Ravens the rest of the season and possibly into the playoffs. Hope the family is doing well. Thanks for always taking my questions. Love the V's and let's go for 25K. I love this. Shout out to Enonic. Super supportive. Send some of the most fire questions out there, man. So I thank you, man. And I like that, man. We just got 21K, but he ain't say, hey, let's get to 22. He say, let's go to 25. Let's go to 25. Love it. Anyway, what are two areas of concern offensively and defensively that could derail the Ravens for the rest of the season? Well, it's the same ones that I talk about every week. For defense, lack of the pass rush. I think that could end up being a problem, especially for better quarterbacks and more mobile quarterbacks. If you don't have a pass rush, if you really just are not getting to them at all, then when they send four, if they're not getting to them with four, Wink may end up sending more. So excuse me, when he sends more, then depending on the quarterback, somebody, I mean we even saw it against Ryan Finley. They sent more, but Ryan Finley found somebody, found his hot receiver and boom, he hit him. He hit him because the Ravens had sent a blitz and they sent extra people on the blitz, too. So because they really wanted to try to get back there, but it just didn't work. And they were receivers open sometime. Not, it didn't happen too often, but it would happen a little bit. So I just think on defense, it's the lack of the consistent pass rush. And again, like I always say, I don't expect the pass rush to get to the quarterback every single pass and play. But for there to be a certain level of consistency, where we are at least getting back there every now and then, but for offense, I think it's the lack of getting multiple receivers involved. Because of course, when Hollywood's there, Hollywood gets involved every game that he plays. He usually gets like three to four catches every game that he plays. But then that'll be it. The Titans, they all eat, but for the receivers, no. They'll be hungry. They'll be here to be sitting there eating off his plate. And the receivers will be trying to look for scraps, but they can't get any. Now with that, it's kind of like it's a silver lining because the Ravens haven't really been forced to open it up like that with different receivers besides Hollywood. But it will be nice. Could they be like shying away from that and like hiding receiver skills? I don't think so. But they have shown that they can open up the playbook in more ways than one to move that ball down the field. So I think they could definitely have something to store for those other wide receivers. But maybe they just they're not showing a hand yet. I don't know. But that would be my problem, my area of concern on offense, the lack of getting other receivers involved in the passing game. Because it's just been Lamar to Hollywood and that's it. It hasn't been really Lamar to Seth Roberts, like at all Lamar to Miles Boykin and I'm Boykin and had some drops and whatnot. But still, you got to give your guys some chances. So that will be my area of concern for the offense. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good questions. Next question came from my guy in the Rome Taylor. He said, excuse me, oh, this is a, all right, he said, my question is knowing that the 49ers are the only undefeated team in the NFL. And if they stay undefeated, well, okay, I guess this question is null and void now because they lost. Buddy said, if they were to stay undefeated, I had to sort of remix his question a little bit. If they were to stay or if they would have stayed undefeated when they faced the Ravens, I feel that if the Ravens did what they did against the Patriots, I feel that the football analysts and everybody would definitely see the Ravens as true contenders, even though as Ravens fans already know they're contenders. Do you agree? I definitely agree. But I see them as contenders even before the 49ers game. Now they do have some tough, tough games coming up. I mean, right away this week, we got the Texans, then we got the Texans. I don't remember who Ravens play after that, but I know it's an away game because they do away home, away home, away home, blah, blah, blah. But we got the Texans. We got 49ers coming up. We got Rams. We got Steelers coming up again, Browns coming up again. Who am I? I know we got Jets, Beals coming up. Who am I missing though? I'm missing somebody and I cannot think of who it is, but anyway, I already see them as contenders even before the Texans, before the 49ers, before all these other games. Now these other games will still, they will either remind us like, hey, yes, Ravens are still definitely contenders or it could, I mean, they got a lot of tough games. So it's almost like, I know it's not technically like that, but it's almost like the playoffs are starting now because you're going against guys who are going to be playoff teams and you're going to be going up against some tough competition. So Ravens, like they already have been, which was a big concern of mine, going into the season, as soon as the schedule came out, I said, hey, man, Ravens going into the season, they got to be on point and they cannot take it easy on any game. They have to be focused simply because of their schedule, obviously because of the games, but just referring to the schedule alone, they got to be focused because, again, it's literally home away, home away, home away, home away, home away, home away. It flip-flops and fluctuates all season long, all season long. There are no two consecutive home games. There are no two consecutive away games. It's like that, the entire 16 games. So with that being said, they have done a pretty good job so far, so good. So they just need to continue throughout the season and then hopefully into the playoffs as well. But, yeah, I already see them as contenders. His next question was, he said, people are saying that the Texans are a great football team and they can give the Ravens problems, which I think they definitely can. But he said, as a Houstonian and someone who watches the Texans every week, they are soft. Ooh. And he said, let me explain. Sure, their offense is no joke. And I understand that their defense that people are not paying attention to, oh, he said, and I understand that it's their defense that people are not paying attention to and their offensive line. They have no JJ White, so that means the Ravens can run all over them and they have no secondary, that means the Ravens can throw on them. Now on to the offensive line. They allow more QB sacks and QB hits than any other NFL team. Trust me. I know the Ravens can exploit their weak offensive line and get after Deshaun Watson. Like I said before, the Texans are soft. Ooh. Yikes. Texans are soft. So we're going to see, man. Now with that, I can't even get too excited because the Ravens, they played the Bengals twice, beat up offensive line, they played the Steelers, beat up offensive line, they played the Browns, beat up offensive line and they didn't generate much pressure. They didn't generate much pressure, or at least consistently. So even though Texans may have a beat up offensive line, they may have given up the most QB hits, the most sacks in the league, Ravens still, that's been like Enonix's question, what's the big area of concern? That pass rush. So that can still be an issue. So real good observations too and hopefully you'll be right and Ravens can't take advantage and exploit it. His last question was, when will you have your wife help you in your vids? I don't mean any disrespect when I ask this question. I feel that she should be in your vids as well since Carter is certainly in your vids. Your thoughts? Maybe one day. I mean, she was going to be a part of the live stream that we did on the Patriots game. But yeah, she ended up not feeling good that day. So I don't know. I mean, she's in the vlogs, but we don't vlog nearly as, we vlog like every once in a blue moon. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'll see. But as for now, yeah, Carter come through the troll y'all a little bit. He come through the troll me for sure. He loves it. Like Carter, like he really loves being in the videos. He loves it. Like if I asked him to be in every single video, he would be in every single video. So he can't get enough of it. But for her, she's okay with not being in the videos. She doesn't mind not being in the video. She also wouldn't mind being in the videos, but she also minds not being in the videos. So I'm cool either way. Next question came from my guy, W. Gribble. He said, do you think any of the coaches or the Ravens Brass thought Lamar would be as good as he is this early in his career? The whole country is talking about him and I see he has the hottest selling jersey right now. Oh, I didn't know that. That's a good question. Do you think any of the coaches on the right order Ravens Brass thought Lamar would be as good as he is this early in his career? I don't think so. I don't think so. And that's no disrespect to anybody at all, but I don't think so. Simply because of the way that they were using him last year, the way that they played him last year, like when Flacco was still here, oh no, excuse me, when Flacco was still the starter, how they brought him in on a little gimmick place. That while I'm sure they were working with him on stuff in the background, like more quarterback stuff, that those plays when you just use somebody like that, you're just using them as a weapon, you're using them as a gadget, you're using them as a trick as a gimmick and not as a real quarterback. So but you know, you just knew they just wanted to get him on the field so bad. They wanted him to get to get him on the field so bad. So they were willing to use him however they possibly could. And they did that in those packages. But then once they, once he started playing, they were very run heavy team. They were throw some passes in here and there, but they were very run heavy team. And they, yeah, and they ran that ball well. They ran the ball well. But as a quarterback, you could tell something was there, but, and it was also a restricted offense too. But there were just some little blunders, some hiccups that he was going through along the way. And he's still going through those hiccups now. So for some of us, he, but he's going through a different set of hiccups now. To where I mean, well, he's still been really good. Well, he'll have a hiccup or two there. We might overthrow somebody. But again, it's compared to last year. You don't see those ducks like we saw last year. We saw some ducks, whether they would go straight into the dirt or they will be like way sailing. It's like, whoa, Lamar, who are you throwing to? But you don't see that anymore like that. But I don't, I don't think, I don't think they thought that his, the jump would be as big as it's been. Like this guy has, it's been amazing, man. It's been very, very special too. And it's just, it's been super exciting just to watch how much he's developed. And the game against the Bengals was just his 16th regular season game. So overall, this guy has just played 17 games, like, I mean, started 17 games. That's crazy. He's, he's, he started 17 games. That's one season and change. And I mean, actually you could, if you take that Dolphins game and then you combine it with that Bengals game, the last Bengals game, because he came out. Like in a Dolphins game, he came out the entire like fourth quarter for the Bengals game, he came out in the middle of the third quarter. So, I mean, you could kind of put them together and be like, oh, well, I guess 60, but anyway, y'all get what I'm saying. But yeah, it's crazy, man. He started 17 games. I don't, I thought maybe, of course, I think they may have thought he would be maybe good, but I don't think they would think that he would be this good and this successful with the team. But I'm sure it's been a great surprise. Now, of course they, they, they could see his attitude from last year. And what a lot of people say, they say great work ethic, it beats out skill. And is that the saying? Anyway, they could tell that he would, he wanted to work harder. And he would, he wanted to work harder. He wanted to get better from last year and he certainly did that. So, great question. Next question came from my guy Dustin R. He said, who do you think are the Ravens top five corners of all time? My list goes, Chris McAllister, Jimmy Smith, Marlon Humphrey, LaDarius, Webb, Dionne Sanders, top five Ravens corners of all time? Chris McAllister, I'm not throwing Dionne on there. Dionne was a top corner of all time, but not a top Ravens corner. Um, him as a Ravens corner, no, it, it was cool when he got that pick six, but I think it was against the bill. Anyway, um, Chris McAllister, uh, I feel like me saying LaDarius, Webb was kind of favoritism. In my opinion, from, from what I, yeah, Chris McAllister, I want to say Jimmy Smith next so bad, um, I know he did have his injuries and stuff, yeah. Uh, and LaDarius, Webb too. So like, yeah, in no particular order, Chris McAllister, well, he'll be number one. Um, then Jimmy Smith, LaDarius, Webb, um, Marlon Humphrey, he's only in his third year. But I mean, right now you could put him on that list. Uh, and, oh, top five Ravens corner. Hmm, not Gary Baxter. I mean, some people may say Dwayne, uh, Starks. Uh, hmm, that is tough. I definitely can't put Dion on there though. Um, hmm, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say Samari Rowe, uh, with Samari Rowe, um, he was not all that, but he brought us, he brought the Ravens some consistency at the cornerback position. Um, it's crazy to think about those years. Well, we really had Samari Rowe. Um, but yeah, he gave us some, he was like a branding car. Like how branding car is for us now? Well, he's not all that, but he definitely brings up some consistency, um, and leadership at the position. So tough question. Yeah, y'all know how I feel about them top five list, man. Anyway, he said question number two, how long till Lamar gets a shoot deal like Vic did back in the day? Um, and, and he said, will you rock them? Um, how long till Lamar gets a shoot deal? I think that could be like this off season. Uh, it just depends on how this season goes. I thought that he was going to start getting off. And who knows if he's been getting off as or not. I don't know. It's possible that since his mom and his agent, he could have been getting off as, but his mom might have been like, no, just focus, focus on the season. We'll do that in the off season. I don't know. But anyway, um, when will he get a shoot deal? Uh, yeah, I think it could be this off season, but I thought it was going to be in that Seahawks game when he was talking about it in the post, the post game. Like, man, like I've tried to put on these cleats and they kept slipping and I tried to put on these other ones. And then I was thinking like, okay, Nike, that goes your intro right there. Like, hey Lamar, we got some cleats for you. They won't slip. They're slip resistant. So I thought that might be it. And will I rock them? Will I, will I rock some Lamar shoes? Uh, maybe, um, I'm not big into shoes. I used to be long time ago, but now I'm not big into shoes. And me, I'm not gonna spend no $160, $200 on shoes. I just, I can't do that, man. Nothing in me would want to get a pair of shoes for even really over $100. Like, even like, even $80 for me, that's pushing it for shoes. Just cause I don't, I don't, I just don't care about shoes like that. I just don't care about, I got the same black shoes I wear every single day. Some black Nikes, the Roshas or whatever. Roshas or Rosh, I don't know how you say it. And also, personally, I think Yeezys are ugly. I think those are some of the ugliest shoes. They look like they are not well put together at all. They look super cheap. And I know they cost a lot of money. A lot of them cost like $300. And then I'll be on Twitter and I follow Fat Kid deals. Shout out to Fat Kid deals cause they got the best deals on literally everything. But they be putting deals for Yeezys and stuff. And they be like, oh well, these Yeezys usually sell for $300, but you can get them for $150. And I'm like, that's a deal for shoes, $150. But I think Yeezys are so ugly. I think they are so ugly. But anyway, my point is for buying expensive shoes like that, well that's expensive to me for shoes. Nah, I'm not with it. If they were under $100 then maybe, but if they aren't, then probably not. But anyway, his third question was, if we make it to the AFC Championship, would you rather face the Patriots or Chiefs? Either one, man. Either one. Either one. Either one will present their different challenges. I don't have a preference. Both are gonna present their different challenges. Patriots, facing them, it will feel more special. Now it's not more special, it would be AFC Championship. That'd be the, oh man, I'm thinking about that now, man. Cause that would be the game to go to the Super Bowl. That would be the game to go to the Super Bowl. I think Ravens can get there for sure. I think they can get there, man. And if they just play their game, man. Just play their game. They can get, they got some, they got some more proven games coming up. A lot of them, like a lot of them, they got a tough schedule to ride it out, man. But if they play their game, man. But I don't, I wouldn't have a preference for that. But for Patriots, it would not feel more special. It would just feel more like, oh, like this is it. This, this is the last hurdle to get. Well, it's not the last hurdle, but this is it. Facing New England again in order to get to where we need to get to, in order to get to Miami, you just gotta get through New England one more time. And then you can bring it on home. Oh, man, that, oh boy, that would be great, man. Oh, that would be great. Oh, I don't even want to think about it right now. Well, too late, man. But that would, that would be excited, man. But yeah, I don't, I don't have a preference. I don't have a preference. Geez, that would be crazy, man. It is possible, though. It's very possible. And he also asked, if Lamar doesn't win the MVP, do you think, or who do you think it would be? Right now, Russell Wilson. Oh, and then he said, A, because someone will put up way better stats or B. Oh, I think he meant, why do you think it will be? So he said, if Lamar doesn't win the MVP, oh, okay, I get it. He said, if Lamar doesn't win the MVP, do you think it will be A, because someone will put up way better stats or B, because the people voting are old school football homers and don't want to see the game goes the way Lamar is taking it? Oh, okay. I think it could be a mix of both. I think it could, yeah, I think it could be a mix of both, because with the numbers, like Lamar is not putting up, he's putting up good passing numbers and very efficient passing numbers, but he's not putting up the sexiest of passing numbers. Like Russell Wilson right now, he's putting up sexy passing numbers. Minus that 49ers game last night, but he's putting up sexy passing numbers. But Lamar, he doesn't put up the sexiest passing numbers, but the way that his contribution to this team is MVP level. Like, for MVPs, I feel, and I mean, you could say this for anybody, or not anybody, but you can say it for a lot of teams, like who is somebody that the team couldn't do without? And I mean, you could point to a lot of quarterbacks for that question, but who is a team that, like what team can they like really, really not do without their quarterbacks? Or not even that question, but what team their quarterback is just having such a huge impact on them? And I know that's kind of the same question, but it's a little bit different, but what teams' quarterbackers having just such a huge impact on them and on other teams, and teams are trying to game plan for these quarterbacks, but they just can't. And just nothing has been working. That's why Lamar's up there with the MVP voting, man. I'm listening to my song, but am I really keeping it clean myself? You know what? Clean check, breath, good, not great. Here, this is as good as it's gonna get. Here's what it is. I'm pissed, ooh, yeah, I can smell it yesterday, but my chest is clean, right? Oh, no, no, no, ooh. But I'm thinking back on the time when I used my regular clippers to shave, and it didn't work out so well. Why can't solutions just fall from the sky? It would be so easy.
