We got some fire questions like we do every single time Let's do it first question and shout out to my guy Harry for being a patron He said how you doing engraving and the team keep it clean family. So I love that. He ain't just excellent I'm doing we good by the way But he asked how y'all are doing to and I hope all of y'all are doing really good despite the Ravens not doing So good. I hope y'all y'all are doing good. Anyway, he said after this season I'm pretty sure me and all true Ravens fans are hoping for major changes I was actually thinking about trading hardball to the Bears for draft picks and getting an offensive-minded head coach like Eric The enemy Josh McDaniels of Byron left, which I think we need to change with the times and this will be a good way What's your opinion on that? I do agree that things need to be changed. I think with the Ravens I think they're just entire philosophy needs to be Changed the way they go about things that needs to be changed I'm with and just to go piece by piece Offense that this is the biggest thing because I know Ravens the MO from jump what they started with Run the ball play good defense run the ball play good defense That has been them. That's been their thing. Oh, it starts with the running game But we gots to understand that we have a Rashad Bateman. We got a Hollywood. We even got a Watkins. We got pro shade. We got Tylen Wallace DuVernay, you got break into like you have some receivers that a cape. They got to air this thing out They got to air this thing out They have to change the philosophy man And I know a lot of times Ravens when everybody's agging they want to zig a vice versa whatever But it's it's time man It's time to get with this because you have something I do not want to see Lamar Jackson wasted I don't want to see him wasted. Don't want to see these receivers wasted. You can mark Andrews You got one of the best tight ends in the league and he gets used a lot. Oh trust me We we can see that him over here breaking all these records and whatnot, but it's time for Ravens to change this thing up Now I know a lot of people whenever you talk about the possibility of the Ravens moving on from Greg Roman Lot of Ravens fans get a little scared by that they get a little intimidated. They like oh, but what about our running game? What's gonna happen to our run game and why is it? That's that's the only thing that a lot of Ravens fans question when it comes to moving on from Greg Roman the run game They don't say oh, but what about our pass game? They never say that they say oh, but what about our running game? Something to think about you mean to tell me That if the Ravens moved on from a Greg Roman and they still had Lamar Jackson They have a healthy Lamar Jackson. They have a healthy JK and a healthy Gus Edwards and whoever their other running backs are gonna be They still have Nick Boyle. He's on the contract for I believe one more year. They fix up and get a healthy offensive line Like you really think that the running game is gonna go anywhere. It may look a little bit different Because you know Greg Roman he can come out with some fire concepts of the with the run game But you you really think the run game is really gonna go anywhere Seriously think about that The Ravens have always been able to run the ball and this was before Greg Roman and It's been after Greg Roman. I think there was just one year where they were struggling big time. I think it was 2013 maybe where they struggled to run the ball, but recently besides that They've they've been able to run that football and in 2015. I mean, that's like yikes And in this year with the run game, I know it's been a wash The run game has been a wash this year, but you don't have a healthy Lamar You don't have a JK or Gus Edwards either your offensive line is beat it beat up battered bruise all that good stuff So the run game this year hasn't been what it should be but If they were to move off of Greg Roman The run game would be just fine But that's not the concern for me. The concern for me is the pass game That that's a big concern for me. It's the passing game And the Ravens need to get with the times they need to be able to take advantage of Lamar Jackson his skillset They need to take advantage of their wide receiver skillset and in a big thing with that Just a lot of the decisions that are made that they they baffle us That they're very concerning one of the biggest Ways that they're concerning is the use of Pat record. Why is Pat record out there more than a lot of receivers and even on passing place? It's just there's so many times when the Ravens that we always talk about People been talking about it for forever and Lamar Jackson even talked about it last year publicly Who knows what he said privately if he said that publicly who knows what he said privately but anyway, um how the Ravens offense is predictable people know what's coming and Is it's true and not that every single play is gonna be oh, whoa surprise. I didn't see that happening I didn't see that coming but if there's certain person nails that get put out there You just as a fan, you know, and if we as fans if we know, you know those coaches on the opposite end of the Ravens They know too um Ravens they With their run game Well, not even the run game, but with Pat record that that's a big example They bring out these sets with Pat record with Eric Thomas and Boyle. They're those are the big three Those are the big three and and when those big three on the field, you know about 9.9 times out of 10, you know what's going down. You know what's happening But I just my my thing is not even with that not not even just with the the personnel on in them different sets and whatever but it's the usage of weapons and The lack of usage of all weapons because I just I'm very fearful that Uh, we're gonna have more Antoine Wesley situations Remember he was on our practice squad for a while. He was there Raven signed him as a rookie undrafted free agent Uh, and but at the same time it was like Ravens always had all these receiver problems He always had all these receiver problems. Then you see him go out there to the Cardinals. He's doing this thing He's doing this thing Um, and with with Rashad Bateman, you got a Rashad like you got a Bateman You you got a Hollywood you you you have some guys that can really do some stuff But how are you gonna use them? This is another thing that also concerns me. I just feel like the players I just feel like with with greg roman if if they retain greg roman Then I I almost feel like To not really expect much change And even to a certain extent John Harbaugh And I know that that's a very touchy conversation for a lot of Ravens fans He's like John Harbaugh Super Bowl winning coaching Understand that respect John Harbaugh love everything that he's done for the team But sometimes it just it seems as if He has almost run his course And that's not even just with this year with all the injury. Yeah, we know the whole team been injured There's been the covet to get that I get it But it just seems as if It's it's gonna be a lot of the same stuff if this whole thing continues Now I heard somebody somebody had a great example. I forgot who it was And but they compared it to Mike McCarthy in um in green Bay Like Mike McCarthy, they didn't like he was a bad coach or anything like that But he and he even won a Super Bowl with the Packers But the time had come and he had just ran his course. That was that And with with Harbaugh, I feel like with him I just feel like he won't be willing to make those big changes Those those those big changes to really shift this team and take them to the next level offensively And I know he's a special teams coach and a lot of people say, oh, he don't know anything about X's and all He's a great motivator though He's a great leader He the team really rallies behind him and and he he is those things and he gets that these teams to fight This season has been another great example where he gets these teams to fight Oh with all these injuries and all that all the people out on the cove listen all that a lot of these Ravens games They should have been blowouts, but nope. Well only the Bengals game was the Bengals games were but Other than that it ain't been no blowouts It ain't been blowouts because this team they they fight for Harbaugh They fight for him and no matter what side of the the Harbaugh offense you on You cannot deny that these teams these Ravens they they fight for Harbaugh. They love him. He's a players coach. They love him And he um and and even you you go back to 2015 too. Look that that's it seems a bunch of injuries and whatnot, but they fought They fought so hard for him But it just seems as if the Raven they just keep coming up short And I don't they don't expect them to win a Super Bowl every single year. I don't But it just seems as if change it change would not be a bad thing And Is it possible that Harbaugh gets replaced? Is it possible that another head coach could be a leader too? Is it possible that another head coach could be a players coach? Is it possible that another head coach could could really get the best out of their guys? Is that possible that another head coach could could lead a group of men together? And and have them advance especially on offense Is it is it possible? Yes, it is Because I know a lot of people's argument too. Oh, man For all your people that's saying to get rid of Harbaugh. Who would you replace him with? There's options out there It's people out there Harbaugh is not the end all be all he has done his thing with the Ravens Loved it. He's done his thing with the Ravens All the playoff victories well early on from 2008 to 2012 All those playoff victories and of course the afc championships and then of course 2012 season Super Bowl awesome but ever since then I think the Ravens they got the the the playoff victory in 2014 against the Steelers um, and then Then yeah, then Lamar's first one last year against the Titans And that's been it that's been it And they've had some talented teams But a lot of those years They just come up short They come up short They come up short and now Excuse me. What I'm very afraid of is if the Ravens I'm just very afraid of how they'll handle Lamar and how because This ain't just this ain't just no normal quarterback This ain't just get your average quarterback. It's it's not Does Lamar have some some some things that he needs to improve on? Yes for sure Yes, he certainly does for sure He got plenty of things that he needs to improve on in his game to really take him to the next level But who's going to set him up for him to get to the next level? That's there right now Who's that who's who's that going to be? Who has that power and that that that authority over Lamar to where they really going to move him to being great? who who And another thing too with the whole philosophy is just it's very concerning because and we've talked about this before I just feel like with the Ravens With the the the hirings and stuff and and and that's why I say with with hardball if hardball still remains hardball He probably ain't gonna go nowhere I don't expect him to I don't think he will Crazier things have happened before now because remember with um Nate John Fox when he was the uh The coach of first he was coach of the Bears Then he was the coach of the uh The Broncos I believe got to the Super Bowl Got beat down got fired Like who who fires their coach after you get you got to the Super Bowl with him like that's crazy or is it Because they they saw that they had the players in place. They saw that they had a team But they said John Fox now you you ain't it This is why when I know there's some people that say oh if if hardball was to go If hardball was to get fired or whatever if anything happened to hardball with the Ravens Then the Ravens they will fall apart. I don't believe that I I really don't I really don't And that's not a a slight to hardball at all, but that's just more so you look at this team you look at this roster Look what they have Hardball he he walked into a really good situation having like an air reading But he walked into a great situation and then he added to it He drafted a Joe Flacco. He drafted Ray Rice. He drafted Tory Smith They brought over Anquan Bowden. They did all these things then his pity and all that stuff So he walked into a really good situation, but he made it even better If anything would have happened with hardball where he wasn't the Ravens had coaching anymore and they got somebody new They would be walking into a good situation You have a Lamar Jackson. You got a jk Dobbins. You got a Gus Edwards. You got a Mark Andrews You got a Ronnie Stanley. You possibly even got a Joanne James You got well, you might have Bradley Bowden. We'll see he might move on But you got I don't have to go down a list of players an offense defense both sides of the ball We don't have to do that. But because y'all know But if somebody took over this team, they would have a really good group of players a really good group So for somebody to come to this team and fail I feel like it would be harder for somebody to take over this team and fail Rather than it would be for them to succeed But like the the Ravens philosophy has gots to change it has to It has to or else it's gonna be the same old stuff. It is going to be the same old stuff a big tail for the Ravens this offseason will be what they do with Greg Roman But again, even if they move off from Greg Roman, I'm just worried that Hobart is going to bring in some more of the same A guy that has peaked That's what I'm worried about. They're going to bring in a guy that has already peaked A guy that's already been a head coach and just failed miserably at it A guy that's not getting no more higher opportunities than to be an offensive coordinator for the Ravens I'm going to get somebody that's peaked already And when you get those guys that are peaked already You're not really trying to advance You're not trying to advance your team as much as we would hope you would be We go to the defensive side of the ball this scheme Wing scheme In this tough with with him Um, I feel like with him It all depends on what you want With this scheme it asks the players to do so much To where they they don't specialize in anything They don't They're jack of all trades and masters of absolutely nothing in this scheme They can't eat They can't feast like that They have to do this that in the third and when you have to do this that in the third You got to do so many different things then that that slows down the way that you think So that slows down the way that you play When when when you play more comfortable when you're more comfortable in something You'll think faster. You'll react faster. You'll react quicker You make better decisions quicker decisions, but also good decisions So with with that being said I just will wink this the scheme Again, we talked about this a couple days ago with the as far as the past rushes With we we always wonder like man, why don't Why the Ravens still having so much trouble Getting to the quarterback why? And I know so many fans have looked they've been oh look at your unique in Gakue leading the league in precious looking mad judon who's one of the league leaders in sex Look as a Darius Smith when he was healthy went out did his thing And it's like man, we look at that stuff and it's like Why not us? This is why with Matt judon He a lot of Ravens fans didn't feel like he was all that but Matt judon He probably deserves a lot more credit as as a good player than a lot of Ravens fans gave him including myself Because for him to be able to scratch and claw and get nine and a half sacks in this scheme That's unheard of And for him to do that in 16 games We we we getting ready to play a 17th game and I think our sack leader is like Uh, I think Bowser with like six sacks And maybe after the last game he got seven. I don't even remember but it's something like that And that's after 16 games and I think he did may might have missed the game Do the injury or COVID or something like that but still Imagine I know that there were some of the times where he would just he would rack up sacks against some bad teams So even he would struggle to really consistently be like that as a pass rusher with the raven scheme Because it's tough It's tough Because the pass rushes they can't just rush the passer Raven we we we could continue to have these conversations man. We cannot get to the quarterback Why can't we get to the quarterback and we even like there will be these games where It's like the oh, all right. We're going up against like the week one The Raiders offensive line, uh, they were missing so many starters along their offensive line So going into that game of thinking ooh these boys by the eat. Nope wrong wrong it didn't It's like with the pass rush. They can't take advantage of bad offensive lines They can't consistently do it because they they'll have some games where they do it like I mean the last one that I could That comes to my mind is um Last year against joe burrow When he was a rookie too, so that that has something to do with it But last year against joe burrow, I saw somebody say one time And then it made me think like hold up. Wow They were like with wink scheme the only time that you see him consistently get good pass rush The only quarterbacks that struggle against his scheme are the the young inexperienced quarterbacks And I was like whoa hold up now And I really had to think about that now to to really dive into that I would really have to just look at every single game over the past couple of years But it's just something to think about I was like, huh interesting But So much with just again the philosophies of the ravens. They have to change They they got to get with the times they they they they got to upgrade this thing Because you you have the the potential is there and your players man. It's there you have so much potential But it's it's it's all going to go to waste if you continue to do the same thing over and over and over You want to be this running team? And that's your primary go. Oh run the ball well and play good defense. Okay, cool It's only going to get you so far. You got to air this thing out. You have to You have to Because if you don't it's going to be the same results It's gonna be And just because you decide you want to air out the ball, it does not mean that you stop running It does not mean that you won't be able to run It just means that you'll have not even necessarily balance, but you'll have options You'll have better options You know the marking throw the ball. That's old news. We've been knew that You got to let them develop this game to where These players like they like they really like out there running some routes and they timing routes That's something that I would love to see the Ravens incorporate with Lamar Jackson I would love love to see that To where Lamar will throw the ball In a spot where the receiver supposed to be Before they even there I only did a little bit with Bateman But I would love to see that incorporated a lot more. I would love to see it More up-tempo offense more of a quick fast-paced offense with Lamar though We've seen it sometimes with Tyler Huntley With Josh Johnson even in his first saw a couple of drives. We saw it But for some reason with Lamar, they just it doesn't get done I just I don't understand like Why man? Well, I do understand why because of the people who are in place, but Something's got to give man That their their mentality with this team their mentality with these players that their MO especially offensively Especially offensively it has got to change It's got to Ravens are so outdated with their way of thinking. They are very outdated And it it it's very it's it's time for them to to move forward Instead of don't be stubborn Stop being stubborn be willing to adjust And we know that that's been a big word that a lot of us have been using all year adjust There's been a lack of adjusting a lack of adjustments But Ravens, they they cannot be stubborn with this thing man They cannot be stubborn if they're stubborn, then they're going to get the same results Same results It might look a little prettier next year when people are healthy, but it's going to be a lot of the same results So many the same results So I Um I'm just I'm hoping that Something changes, but my my hope is high but my expectations are low Well, that's my homie ain't that writing gravy writing gravy
