 First question came from my guy Gary today engraving I just wanted to let you know how much I respect your morals That was a great episode. Hope you and your family are doing really well. Love you, bro I never miss an episode and always press the like button. God bless. I appreciate that a lot Gary Thank you. Um, cuz you got a lot. I remember a lot of your messages and I appreciate you just supporting Like crazy over time. I appreciate you being a patron. I appreciate Just how positive you are and I appreciate your respect too that that goes a long way with me because That's like we always say that's what it is at the end of the day at the beginning and the end of the day It's about respect. So I appreciate you a lot man I said my question is if we didn't go and get a DK Metcalfe Who do you really think we have a chance of getting? Mmm, so what impact player do the Ravens have a chance of getting now? Are you speaking specifically of wide receivers if you are? mmm It's tough. That's tough It's funny because I started seeing the little debo Samuel pictures start floating around the ones of him in the Ravens jet again I know a lot of people been talking about scary Terry With DK Metcalfe is And you're saying if we don't get him like I would I would y'all know I would love for the Ravens to get him I don't expect them to do that but because it's just not that's not them. That's not their element They don't do that type of stuff When it comes to the wide receivers and I think I think they're kind of scared. I Think they're scared And I think what was the last time it really gave a wide receiver some significant money And we were like whoa, I think it was um It was uh, I think he used to play for the Ryan Grant Ryan Grant remember that offseason where they paid him so much money and I felt physical fell physical and I just think Ravens are just Really scared to to get out of that comfort zone when it comes to the pain like paying significant money to a wide receiver Hollywood he was coming up. I was thinking okay. This could but no they traded them away Well, and they they usually signed guys past their prime for cheap like Sammy Watkins Seth Roberts was still young, but he was very cheap really Snead was still young, but he was also really cheap There's Brian We don't want to go down that list again But last time they really paid a wide receiver before Ryan Grant was a Angkwan Bowden But Ryan Grant was after Angkwan Bowden and they were just They were scarred they tried to offer theirs money before they offered it to Crabtree and they all should actually offer theirs More money than they offer Michael Crabtree, but they said no I ain't gonna He said I ain't going there And then they gave Michael Crabtree that three year twenty one million dollar deal But it was really a one year like six or seven million dollar deal But yeah, I think they are very scared because I think they don't want to get burned and then of course I know the the emphasis and their offense is not put on Wide receivers as much as it should be in my opinion And this is not even a Greg Roman thing necessarily This is more of a Ravens philosophy type of thing because again way before great Roman even stepped foot On a Ravens football field there was a lack of emphasis placed on those wide receivers but Something that does give me hope and that's whether they got a Significant wide receiver or not hopefully they do but something that gives me hope is again the coaching the coaching And I know we kind of go in the way left field with your question I ain't forget about it But something that gives me hope is is the coaching staff because the reason I say that is because Even though there has been a lack of emphasis put on the wide receivers It seems as if with the coaching hires that they're trying to Sort of shift and maybe put a more emphasis on The wide receiver room now with Greg Roman I do think this will be his last year whether he finishes the whole season He doesn't finish the whole season I think this will be the last year for Greg Roman and then I think they move on it just it's all it's like all signs of pointing to that All signs of pointing to that I hope he goes out there and has a phenomenal year because I mean Ravens had a phenomenal year on offense But it does seem like they are moving in a different direction It seems like this may be James Urban's last year too Reason I say that because they got the assistant QB coach They got Greg Roman assistants again to a team more than Keith Williams though for those guys They specialize in the passing game and they specialize in areas of Greg Romans weakness So it seems as if the Ravens could be trying to shift the fallout will not shift it But maybe add something to it. Hopefully Hopefully hopefully hopefully hopefully hopefully But we won't know but again back to your question as far as like what impact player do the Ravens have a chance to get him They honestly They got a chance again, whoever they want to Or whoever's available obviously, but they have what it takes to make some happen They could give whatever up. I think the bigger question is what they want to would they be willing to? If it's a wide receiver, I think the answer would be no. I don't see it happening And because the only wide receivers that they have been linked to this off-season Were guys that they could give for cheap Jalen Riga from the Eagles. He is not going to hardly cost you anything He would they would not have to give up significant draft capital for him Jarvis Landry who was a free agent You ain't got to give nothing up and you even gotta give him a big deal I think I forgot with the deal that he got with the Saints is like I think one year Maybe like was it six or seven? It was some cheap But they they wouldn't have to give anything crazy for him. They wouldn't so I just I Don't see them going to get somebody sickness. I still see them getting somebody but as far as a big-time Playmaker a big-time guy like a an it guy. I Just I just don't see it happening But I mean with the guys that they have I'm sure more emphasis will be put on them And hopefully they could just they make the most out of it and they can make some stuff happen But again, y'all y'all know how I feel about the whole the wide receiver thing. So anyway He said and what linebacker is poised to have a big year? Because I think we have to go and get one more now you talking about we need to go get one more inside or outside linebacker But as far as inside linebackers Patrick Queen all all Patrick Queen got to do is just clean up some small stuff Patrick Queen can be so good man He can be so good. He has and I hate use this word because it's a very Ravenous type of worry when the guns are certain players and what not in a lot of players Actually, but Patrick Queen has so much potential He has so much potential man. So much It's just just got to fine tune a couple of little things here and there Just one of the biggest things wrap up wrap up tackling Wrap up because a lot of times he'll do the arm tackle try to go for like a big hit or something Somebody might like bounce off of but wrap up tackling if if he cleans up the oh If Patrick Queen just cleans up the tackling Man this dude that that will ascend his game so much Because he got the speed the speed is there. This is his third year So the game should slow down for him a lot a whole lot The blitzing is there's a blitzing linebacker is there When he like with his explosiveness Uh, we've seen the place where he'll explode through the lines to shoot through the gap and get to the ball carrier quick Quick whether it's the running back or even sometimes a quarterback But he can break up a play But then we've seen some plays where he'll be back there and in the the he'll do like an arm tackle to The running back or like bounce off of him or whatever and say oh man. He was right there So the potential is right there They just gotta find to a couple little things and then just get it out of them and then so I will say Patrick Queen for sure Josh Bynes being there that should help him that should help him be even more comfortable be even more like settled So that could be a just a beautiful thing. So I would go with with with Patrick Queen If you talking outside linebacker or if you say an inside linebacker, we need to get one more They got who Christian Welch they got a I know I'm missing somebody too. I'm missing somebody They got Malik Harrison. I mean he's inside linebacker, but they said they're trying to my outside So we'll see how that goes but as far as outside linebackers It's Daylan Hayes ties Bowser David a jobbo who he'll probably start on the He'll probably start they'll probably have him They'll probably uh make them pass through the active roster They'll have probably have a make them make the 53 man roster But then put them on injured reserve so they can bring him back whenever Because if they put him on the physically unable to perform list and he isn't ready after six weeks Then he can't come back at all So what I expect them to do with a jobbo is have them make the 50 make the 53 man roster But then after that 53 man roster set put them on injured reserve so you can then bring him back Uh after it you could bring them back after three weeks, but he's not gonna be Ready after three week. Well, who knows the technology nowadays, but the expectation is not that he's back after three weeks but with injured reserve Again, you can bring them back whenever uh after the first three weeks of the season So you don't have to it doesn't have to be like the physically unable to perform list Where he has to come back after six weeks injured reserve if he's not ready by six weeks That's fine. You can keep on waiting So that puts less pressure on him to be ready and on them to get him ready um So again, Justin Houston is expected that he's back um Wouldn't mind if they signed jason pa paul to uh get greedy with it man get greedy with they they got Well, he's not the outside line back either the you know, I was thinking the brand urban So yeah, that's what I would do. Anyway, he said I really appreciate everything you do Thanks for answering these questions and hope you and your family are doing great Hey, I appreciate that. Thank you for even sending them in man. So I appreciate that a lot. Thank you as always The next question came from a boy Uh, flirting Owensky, and this probably gonna be the last question to take us out I know we went on a little bit before that previous question and my boy flirting Owensky He'd be going in man, but I appreciate you. I got a lot of love for you man We done had some good conversations about some ravens football man, and I appreciate you a lot man So I hope you're doing well, man. Anyway, he said yo, what's good, bro? It's your boy flirting Owensky back again. Hope all is well with you and yours out there Yeah, we doing pretty good man. I appreciate you First and foremost, I want to say Bateman like my comment and pinned it on his page. I was hype Okay, well congratulations on that man. He said for time to get the business So I know it's been a lot of talk about bringing in a vet. It's either we all for it or we hate it Yes, it's a lot of people on both sides of the fence man And I think it all depends on who we talking about too because that can change the conversation But anyway, uh, now I'm on the fence about that because it depends on who it is I should have just I should have just read I should have just read first See this is I always get to talking before I read and then they end up saying exactly what we said We on the same page so far, but anyway, he said, uh, now I'm on the fence about that because it depends on who it is Julio No debo as much as I love them. No because they are jimmy smiths on offense Um, what are you talking about being injured like a potential there playmaking ability there, but always hurt So DK yes hands down Love it. Love it. We could end it right there. We could end the episode right there. But anyway, uh, somebody nobody is talking about is Robbie Anderson He doesn't want to be in carolina. He's a big body burner also just like dk medcaf now get this That's not it though He's also from florida Hey, he's also from Okay, anyway, uh, of course people will get pushed down the depth chart, but I believe it is needed Let's be real. Lamar won MVP with a hurt rookie and Seth Roberts. No knock to hollywood hurt or uh, Roberts But yeah, uh, what is your thoughts on pulling the trigger trigger on Robbie Anderson? Robbie Anderson It's funny because he's somebody When he was a free agent a couple years ago. He's somebody that I wanted to rate Mr. Sine um just to uh That that downfield deep threat Um, I felt like the vibe was there. Uh, and it would have been there with him and Lamar, uh, both on and off the field Um, and I felt like he would have been a good addition a good compliment to Raven's team. I mean he did uh Was out there asking for Lamar Jackson the autographs But anyway, uh, this is one that doesn't get talked about too often Because it's something that kind of goes over my head. I remember uh, he did he did put it out there like Like he said he was just I think he said he was just playing or he missed Constructors what I forgot what he said the the reason really excuse was that he put it out there on twitter That he was thinking about retiring and I was like, um, I don't believe you, uh, but and then how he uh He said he said no the Baker Mayfield on the Panthers. He's like man, but we Like think about if you Robbie Anderson, man and You you thinking about stuff and you think like man Panthers or Ravens I mean if you're from north or south Carolina, okay, but he's from Florida. So yeah, I think it would be like an easy decision um But yeah, I wouldn't mind Robbie Anderson, man. I I wouldn't and that's something someone that gets uh overlooked um But I would my first choice would still be DK Metcalf though He would be my first choice I wouldn't be mad at a Deebo Sammy, but yeah for the reasons that you mentioned I would be a little bit worried when it came to injuries and stuff Julio, um, I feel like the expectation would be that he wouldn't even play the full season He'd be like a reserve kind of guy, but anyway He said of course people would get pushed down a depth chart, but I believe it is needed. Oh, oh, yeah I read that part. Um, he said also it bring me to my next statement. All right Uh, so my big thing was getting an offensive line for Lamar Uh, man, Drew's is elite don't get me wrong But people always say oh that's Lamar's favorite target blah blah blah But when snoop came in things didn't change. I know a lot of it is by design But a lot is about time uh them snapping the ball and having to run in a couple of milliseconds because the line leaves them no choice but to throw to the closest person lol hence Mark Andrews volume But with this new offensive line that we have that we have this will open up a lot for the offense plays on the center I mean I hope I hope I hope But anyway, uh, he said plays on the center bootleg shot plays etc. I expect Ravens offense to be wide open this season. What do you think? This is where things get tricky Um, because like we talked about in the previous question, it seems more emphasis may be placed on the passing game We just got to see Um, but it depends on how much of a voice uh, Greg Roman, not only Greg Roman, but John Harbaugh Um allows T-Martin and Keith Williams to have And, um, is it Adrian Dixon or Kerry Dixon? I think it's Kerry Dixon Um, it just depends on how much of a voice He allows them to have Uh, well you actually John Harbaugh, he just let offensive coordinators do the thing He let defensive coordinators do their thing He'll step in sometimes now, but he usually pretty much lets them. All right. Y'all got it. Y'all handle it So I guess it really depends on, um What their philosophy is gonna be so that's on Harbaugh, uh, and really bachati too But that's on that's on Harbaugh, uh, and Yeah, what they're gonna just allow that guys to do Are they gonna just be ground and pound ground and pound ground and pound? Or they're gonna just want to open it up more and I think they should open it up more because the more you can do The more options you have, uh, if you just so focused on the run run run run run and we know they're gonna run a ball But if there's just a lack of emphasis put on other areas of the offense Then there's gonna be a lack of production with other areas of the offense Especially when your primary focus it ends up being stopped Because they're gonna be some games where they won't be able to run a ball. They're gonna be games like that Um, but so you need to be able to do other things. You need to have other ways that you can operate We've known already even before last year. We've known Lamar can throw the ball Let him let that man throw that ball man. He always said he said he wants to pass the ball He said he don't want to be running himself So let that man throw the ball man Anyway, um He said it's kind of weird when you look at it Uh, though he said Allen. Josh Allen got digs and davis Kyla, he got de hop more orondale more a.j. Green and now hollywood. They love all receivers shout out to uh, Antoine Wesley right way uh, Fat Mahomes Uh, Tyreek Hill, he's gonna miss him Uh, Travis Kelsey, McCall Harman. I can't forget about McCall Harman. I'll always forget about him Um And we'll we'll see how his new guys do too. He got um, not sky more. What's what's the other receivers name? Maybe it is sky more and then the then the guy who I wanted to rave us to get uh, man I can't forget his name, but he had the neck injuries Uh, I cannot think undrafted rookie. Um I cannot think of his name right now, but he was nice. So hopefully he can stay healthier and then he can do a thing. Um, Josh Herbert, Kenan Allen, uh, Mike Williams Um, I took Allen to get all this to it it took Allen to get all this to do okay A lot of volume. Oh, no, I was nice, man. I want to say Josh Allen is okay Josh Allen is nice, man. That that that dude is nice, man But yeah, they they gave him they were like here. They were like in the beginning they were like, uh, you're okay, but Here you go. Let's let's really see and that boy is nice, man I know a lot of Ravens fans don't like to give him credit simply because of I think it's because It always seems like media try to put him and Lamar against each other. Like who's better? Who's this? Who's that? Josh Allen is nice though. No, Lamar is nice, but Josh Allen is also nice. Um, but anyway, um He said it took Josh Allen to get all this to do okay A lot of volume Kyla has all that an extremely high volume to underachieve We know Patrick with Holmes in his volume at lol. So Justin Herbert, uh, and his volume just to not make the playoffs Oh Uh, then you look at Lamar with the lack of a proven guy and look at the success It makes you, uh, think like, uh, forget them draft picks at lol If we can do this with them, imagine what we can do with a dk Robbie Anderson, etc Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you that That's uh, thank you. Hmm Thank you. Thank you so much because I I get frustrated when I I I always hear settling Like people be like, all right. Well Lamar got the offensive line. So he should be fine now Remember what he did is MVP season. Look at the receivers that he had and look what he did He should be fine now studying guys since he got an offensive line And I'm like, yeah, he got an offensive line. Why can't he get more? Like, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you Uh, last but not least everybody wants to put Lamar down for the lack of player success An example boosts burrow up for theirs But something they don't talk about in both cases is the defense Bingo's defense did what they needed to do Lamar losses our defense not so much Well, no, I wouldn't say that. Um, because the defense they would they would they were doing their thing Against the bills. They were holding it down Um against the Titans early on they were giving it up But as the game went on they got a lot better. Um, the Titans game. Hmm. It was like, oh, yeah The turnovers that the Ravens guy didn't help at all And then I think that put defense in some bad situation because Ravens get going four on fourth down They would have dropped the inception. There's all type of stuff um But anyway, he said I'm kind of scared We we let a lot of talent go in the defensive backfield But also do believe in these rookies they can get the job done Do you think our defense is ready for that playoff push if they say healthy? Yes, for sure. I do think so Um, and I think again, I've not been saying this for a long time. If the Ravens defense is healthy They'll be just fine I don't care what anybody says, but wink putting Westry and Anthony Averett on islands made them men you could see their progression all season That was much needed. As you know, I wasn't a fan of getting rid of wink after the amazing job He did with his practice squad teams, uh, but hey, we all can have it We all can't have it always just like the bingos will be once they actually play top talent this year. Mr. Playoffs I'm out. Love it love it Love it. Um Love it. That was that was a fun one And I I knew it was gonna be as soon as I saw the name who it was from I say, oh, yeah, we we info right. I appreciate you my friend
