 Tube team keep it clean. What's up, baby? Hope all y'all doing real good. Now, of course, we all listen to Eric D'Costa, his press conference. And I was very appreciative of both his and Harbaugh's press conference. One reason because the media, they asked a lot of the questions that we had hoped that they would ask to both Harbaugh and Eric D'Costa. And one of those questions was about Hollywood in the fifth year option. Because I was wondering and hadn't heard anything about what the status of it was. I know the deadline to pick it up is, I want to say May 10th, but it's somewhere in the beginning of May. But we just hadn't heard anything about it whatsoever. But Eric D'Costa did let us know that they do plan on picking up Hollywood Brown's fifth year option. Now, the value of that fifth year option is a little under $13 million. So Eric D'Costa, he said that's a bargain. He said that is a bargain. That's a steal for being able to keep Hollywood Brown on the team for another year. Now, one thing to keep in mind is nothing's official until it's official. Now, I don't anticipate Eric D'Costa going back on his word. But at the same time, crazier stuff has happened. But that's just something to keep in mind as we move forward. So until you actually see that notification, the Baltimore Ravens have picked up or the Baltimore Ravens have exercised Marquis Brown fifth year option. Then it hasn't happened yet. But we anticipate on getting that notification in due time. But with Eric D'Costa, when he talked about Marquis Brown, when he talked about Hollywood, something that I knew, but a lot of times I don't realize is that Hollywood Brown and Eric D'Costa said that he was his first pick, his very first draft pick as Ravens general manager. Like, oh, okay. So that has that sentimental value with Eric D'Costa because you can only have one first overall pick. And it ended up being Marquis Brown. And he certainly had a huge impact on these Baltimore Ravens. Eric D'Costa talked about how he liked his, he loved his talent, his personality, loved his energy. And he said for his skill set and for what he brings to the table, that that fifth year option, he said it looks like a bargain. And when we look at Hollywood skill set, we know Hollywood is a big play guy, a deep threat guy. He can do the underneath stuff as well. Now, Eric D'Costa did mention that he feels like Hollywood has not played his best football yet. And I think we would all agree. And obviously Hollywood, his biggest issue, the biggest thing with him has been the untimely drops. And of course, like there's no drop that I think really is timely, but it's been the untimely situational drops. That has been the thing that has just held him back from really going to that next level. Because you see, he knows how to run the routes. You see, he was open a lot. Like he was open a whole lot. And so you see, you see that potential there. And early on in the season, it was looking like that potential, even with the drops, a lot of that potential was getting unlocked. And like I always said it, ever since 2019, because that was Hollywood's rookie year, it's like you saw him throughout the regular season in 2019, he made some big plays, made some splash plays, and that was cool. But then in the playoffs, in that playoff game, that dude showed out. And that's what he's done in the playoffs. In the playoffs, he just turns into a different animal. And my goal, my hope for the Baltimore Ravens, and it's still my hope. And early on, it seemed like it was going that way. But of course, things changed. But my hope for the Baltimore Ravens is that in the regular season, they use Hollywood Brown like they use him in the playoffs. Because if they did that, that 1000 yards, that wouldn't be nothing. That wouldn't be nothing. And he was on a trajectory to easily pass getting 1000 yards that there's nothing. But everything slowed down. Everything. And it's just no surprise that Hollywood's numbers took a big dip when Lamar Jackson went out. Because he was still getting his targets, probably not as much, but he was still getting his targets from like Tyler Huntley. But the connection, it just, it wasn't there like that. They don't see eye to eye like that. And that's not a shot at Tyler Huntley or Hollywood, of course. They just weren't on the same page. And when you look at the way that Lamar Jackson and Hollywood Brown are on the same page, they like, in a whole nother book. Because they just, they get each other, they know each other. And again, Lamar now, even with that, even with that, Lamar Jackson, when targeting Hollywood Brown, he wasn't perfect. He wasn't perfect. He had some times where he overthrew Hollywood, under through Hollywood. So did Tyler Huntley. Well, Tyler Huntley with Hollywood, it was usually an overthrow. So there were times when Hollywood would be open. And the ball just, it wouldn't get to him. And that was with both quarterbacks. And there were other times where Hollywood would be open and the ball would get to him right on the money. And he would drop it. So we know like, obviously, I think everybody would be, it would be a unanimous consensus. Everybody would agree that one area where Hollywood can improve his game. It's just the drops. And he knows that he acknowledged it already. And we've all seen that. So it's, it's not like, oh man, breaking news. That's what Hollywood got to work with. No, we all know that. So if he can clean that up, ooh, boy, even with him, not even cleaning it up. Ooh, boy. Because it's there. And you see that, like that potential every year. You see it go up. You see the increase in production every year. If we look at his numbers in 2019, he had 46 catches rookie year, remember, herd all year to the 46 catches, 584 yards. And he had seven touchdowns. So okay, okay, cool rookie season. And we know that that Miami game, boy, that thing was crazy, man. But then the following year, he had 12 more catches. So he had 58 catches, 760, 90 yards and eight touchdowns. So production went up. Production, it went up. And that's, that's what he does, man. That's what he does. I think Hollywood, Hollywood just love him some week ones. Because I remember 2019 week one, that was against Miami. Of course, he went off. He had two touchdowns. Then I believe in 2020 against the Browns. Then he had two touchdowns in that game. I think maybe he had one. But either way, I remember he, he had 100 over 100 yards before halftime in that Browns game. And then week one against the Raiders. I know he had a touchdown in that game where Lamar was joking and jiving. And then he called Hollywood in the back of the end zone. It's crazy because Hollywood Brown, a lot of people talk about his stature. But it's crazy that him being what 5556, I don't even remember how tall he is, that he is a red zone threat. He is a red zone threat. Now, initially, if you don't watch Raven's games and you just look at, oh man, Hollywood Brown, no, that little receiver, red zone threat. No, you crazy. Nope. He is a red zone threat with Lamar Jackson, even without Lamar Jackson. But with Lamar Jackson, especially him out that connection, man, that connection is some serious. But anyway, back to the stats. So again, last year in 2020, he called 58 passes for 769 yards and eight touchdowns. And then in 2021, he caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns. So this is what Hollywood, it reminds me with his game, it reminds me a lot of Lamar Jackson's game. It just is very similar. And the reason I say that is because these two, they haven't played their best football. But despite them not playing their best football, they still make so much stuff happen. They still make a lot of stuff happen. They still put up numbers. Now, the numbers could be better and they will be better, but they still puts in work. So I'm excited for the future. I'm excited to see how Hollywood Brown continues to get better. I'm just excited to see the Ravens, the way that they continue to use him, because you know, he's going to get his targets. You know, he's going to get his targets, man. But I'm also excited just to see the wide receivers in general. Now, with Eric DeCosta in the press conference, he said, man, y'all, y'all still, I just, I can't wait till we get to the point where y'all stop asking me about wide receivers. Y'all keep asking me about wide receivers. But when he said that, I was thinking, oh, oh, yeah, they getting ready to sign another receiver. I really think that they are. And the reason I say that is because Eric DeCosta, he done done this before he did it last year. Remember, he was insulted. He was insulted. And then he went out and drafted Rashal baby in the first round, drafted Tyler Wollett in the fourth round, I believe, and signed Sammy Watkins. So was he that insulted? Was he? Hey, man, it's a game up there. You can't show all your cards when you get up there on the podium. But we'll see just how Eric DeCosta handles this whole thing, handles the wide receiver room. And the thing, one thing that I am, I'm appreciating a little bit more, they still got some work to do when it comes to their wide receivers. But as far as with Hollywood, I feel like I don't feel like they've necessarily maximized his potential, but they really pushing it. They've pushed it more and more and more. Because one thing that I always feel bad for Raven's wide receivers is that with so many of them that have come through the building, they have never got to see their potential. Because it'll be one thing if it's like, all right, hey, this is what this receiver is really good at. This was this receiver is bad at. This is what this receiver needs to improve on. This is what this receiver needs to work on. This is what this receiver, he does a really good job of. It'll be one thing if they got a lot more of that from their wide receivers. But a lot of times we as fans, we don't know, we don't get to see either how good or bad a player is because the Ravens just don't give those guys the opportunities. They don't give those guys the chances. And I'm not saying that every single wide receiver is going to get a thousand yards or a thousand catches. I'm not saying that, but we always, we continue to see so much untapped potential. And it leaves us wondering why, like, man, how good could that guy have been? How bad was that guy? So because we'll always be thinking, oh man, that receiver, man, he ain't work out. Oh man, he was bad. Oh man, that guy wasn't good. But did that guy even get a fair shot? Did that guy even get an opportunity? And it seems as if with Eric D'Costa, he's trying to sort of change what Ozzy Newsom did. And again, it's not a shot at Ozzy Newsom, but Eric D'Costa seems to want to do things a bit differently, especially when it comes to the wide receivers. He looks like he would rather go a lot younger because Ozzy Newsom, the last couple of receivers he got, he brought in Crabtree, John Brown and Willie Snead. And again, remember those were for Flacco, but then we saw Willie Snead. He had that connection, that connection. He had a connection with Flacco, but he also had a connection with Lamar. And Willie Snead, he is from Florida too, from South Florida, by the way, from West Palm Beach. Shout out to the 5-6-1. But anyway, with Crabtree, he was cool and he was down for Lamar, but the connection was, it was so-so. But then with John Brown, he did not want to, I don't even feel like getting into that story, that whole alligator arms and whatever. So they kept Willie Snead, but they went young, drafted Hollywood, drafted Miles Boykin. They went young, they brought in Seth Roberts. They went, they were very young at Y receiver, even with signing two free agents, those being Willie Snead and Seth Roberts. And then the following year, in 2020, it was Hollywood, it was, yeah, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin. So, and then they drafted DuVernay and Proshay. So they kept it pretty young again. They kept it young all over again. So then this year, well, not this year, but last season, it was Hollywood, they drafted Rashad Bateman, they brought in Sammy Watkins, who, it was so weird because initially I was thinking, oh man, this guy's older, he's all beat up, banged up, but Sammy Watkins was like 27 or 28 at the beginning of the last season. I was like, oh, okay. Now he was banged up because it was another season when he missed quite a few games and quite a amount of time. And it seemed as if when he got healthy, he was never even really healthy. It seemed like he just never got back to himself after he got knocked out, I think in that Colts game. But anyway, it seems as if Eric Dacosta is trying to go younger at wide receiver as opposed to signing the older veterans. So we'll see how this thing goes. But so far, Rashad Bateman and Holly Wood Brown, in my opinion, they are great compliments to each other. And that's what I love. I love when the Ravens do it like that because I feel like it's just, it's great because one of my favorite wide receiver combos and what I feel like has been the most successful for the Ravens was Anquan Bowden and Tory Smith. You got your one possession receiver that can make some stuff happen underneath. Don't sleep on it with the deep passes too now, but then you got your big play receiver, your deep threat, your speedster. So Anquan Bowden and Tory Smith was a great match. And then he has Steve Smith senior and Tory Smith and that ended up being a great match. When Tory Smith, when he had to be that guy and it was him and Jacoby Jones, that wasn't a good fit. But when you have receivers that really compliment each other and they compliment each other's skill sets, yeah, that's a good look, man. And that's exactly what I feel like Rashad Bateman and Hollywood Brown both do. So looking forward to seeing these guys in the future. And yeah, we're going to see how this thing goes, man. I love y'all team. Keep it clean. Appreciate y'all. And like Hollywood won't be since they supposed to pick up this 50-year option. I'm out.
