 I know I'm not the only person that as soon as I saw the Raven signed Deion Kane, I checked to see if he was from Florida. Don't get mad, it's just what it is, yeah we talk it's foreshad, I think Raven being crazy. The YouTube team keep it clean, what's going on, it's Engraven here with another video and I'm for real, that was literally the first thing that I checked when I saw that the Raven signed Deion Kane, I said, oh is he from Florida? And my goodness, he's from Tampa. He's from Tampa. The Ravens also signed another wide receiver to a future contract Benjamin Victor. Is he from, oh, Pompano, who else is from there, a little more Jacksonous. So the Ravens continue building this Florida team and I mean, hey, it works. You get them Florida boys on your rosters, they're going to be some shit, but anyway, with Deion Kane, he's somebody that was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. He went to Clemson, I believe, play wide receiver there and he was somebody that they drafted based off of potential. But in his rookie season in 2018, he ended up tearing his ACL and he missed the entire thing. So then the Pittsburgh Steelers scooped him up and he's pretty much been low-key on their roster. I mean, he does have a lot of good receivers in front of him and then he spent the majority of this season on the practice squad. He was elevated for two games, I believe, but really hasn't gotten much experience in the NFL. So since there weren't many NFL games to watch of him, I did watch as much as I could but also went back and watched his college highlights, his college film, his college tape, watched him when he played for Clemson. So the one thing I noticed from him, he's 6'2", so he got a good size. But I also noticed he got good speed as well. He got good speed but something that really stuck out to me about him, about Deion King and it was probably my favorite thing about him, especially when you think of the possibility of Lamar Jackson throwing footballs 2-1 Deion King, the 50-50 ball. He is really good at the 50-50 ball and he showed that in college and he also showed that in the NFL as well in the limited amount of catchers that he did get and that's something that Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson got to take more chances now because we talked about and we're gonna talk about this more extensively but Lamar does have some room to improve, he got plenty of room to improve in his game and one of the things that I saw with Deion King from his college quarterback, I'm not sure who that was but the college quarterback would throw him open because he had that speed, he had a good speed to where he may be, the quarterback may be right there with him but the quarterback would throw him open to where he would create that separation and go ahead and go and get it so I love that about him and I just think about all these scenarios about Deion King with the Ravens and actually when you think about it it's not far-fetched that he could make the roster and the reason I say that is because now he would have to start with special teams of course but it's not far-fetched that he would make the roster, why? Because the Ravens are potentially losing three receivers right now and of course we still got free agency, we still got the draft and whatnot but he could be there for training camp and be batting it out and then there's also the practice squad but Ravens are losing Des Bryant because after he put that practice video you remember the last thing that happened to the person that put a practice video up but anyway they probably gonna lose Des Bryant, Chris Moore, I think they're finally gonna cut ties with Chris Moore, I think they're finally gonna be like you know what all right we love you thanks for everything but yeah and then Willie Snead as well so those three spots are going to open up and hey made the best men win whoever is on the team whoever remains with the team but with Deion King as much as I love what I saw from him I love the speed love the size one thing that I also really love that we need more of on this team is that dog that dog that that that attitude that catch it on you and I'm gonna talk that trash in your face I'm gonna go do the first down and drop the ball in your face I'm a point at you after I lost you I'm gonna run my mouth after I just got you on that play and Ravens don't they don't have enough of that they don't have enough of that like Ravens on offense they'll make a catch and be like hey corner back you need some assistance getting up hey I don't mind helping you up man oh linebacker you tackled me that was a great tackle you you are amazing how's the family doing and not that it's anything necessarily wrong with asking about the family but Ravens are missing that sort of swag on offense like that so they could use some more just straight up dog and that's one of the biggest things and biggest attributes that I saw from his game now I can't get too excited but I am going to be hopeful that with the Ravens offense and whether he makes the team or not this is still the hope for the Ravens offense that they actually use their guys Nick because it won't matter if we get a number one receive if we get two number one receivers if we get three number one receivers we can get ten number one receivers on the team but if they're not used to their strengths then it won't mean anything it won't mean anything some of the things I saw from Deion Kane's game he is quick he's quick and he's fast there's a difference to me but he is agile he can make somebody miss he's good at cutting and he's quick with it man so he's somebody that you could get them get them the ball in open space and they'll make something happen they'll make somebody miss they'll burn somebody so I just and I know somebody said it best yesterday they said oh man all these people continue to complain about Greg Roman but Ravens are stuck with him right now Ravens are stuck with him right now so hey it it is what it is and that's exactly what it is so we just have to hope that with Greg Roman and this Ravens offense with Greg Roman Lamar Jackson that the passing game coordinator if David Cully doesn't end up getting the job as a Texans head coach because they said he interviewed twice already but we'll see what happens with that because he's in competition with Leslie Frazier who was bills not their defensive coordinator I think he's a like DB coach or so I forgot what he does for the bills but right now it's between Leslie Frazier and David Cully so and I think maybe the enemy could get in the mix after they win the Super Bowl in two weeks we'll see but anyway Lamar Jackson and Greg Roman and David Cully they all just got to get on the same page and they really all need to step up their game everybody does it's not just on Greg Roman it's not just on David Cully it's not just on Lamar Jackson all of them need to step up and elevate their game Greg Roman the designing of the plan this is more a mix of Greg Roman and David Cully but with Greg Roman again we know the pattern we know the history top five running bottom five passing everywhere he goes every single year every single time that's got to change it's got to change it has to while Ravens yeah keep running the ball but you have to pass that ball you have to and you got to get better at designing the passing game get better at finding ways to get your playmakers involved and you have to use these guys to their strengths you have to and again that's on Greg Roman and that's on David Cully as well being the passing game coordinator you got it you got to use these guys strengths man we it was so frustrated and watching Devon Duvenay this year again JetSweepKing, Pro Shade, Point Return and again like I said before it was a numbers game but these guys were not used to this Pro Shade was used to his strengths initially as a point return because they wanted to play it safe at point return they wanted somebody who would not drop that ball what is James Pro Shade known for not dropping the ball but he's also known for catching the ball he's also known for catching passes I think he called like maybe one or two this entire season Devon Duvenay again JetSweep that's it they ain't throw him any screens they only threw like one deep pass to him maybe two yeah two two because one was in the Titans regular season game and one was in the Steelers game so they threw two deep passes to him but it was just he was in my a wasn't involved and then even the guys that they had already with Hollywood they definitely involved him definitely did but Miles Boykin got this big six foot four six five receiver with some speed get that man involved now one thing and again we're gonna talk about this more extensively in the future but one thing that my guy JT pointed out to me about Lamar Jackson is that he feels like Lamar Jackson he does not have that trust factor with his receivers so that's why he doesn't really take as many chances as a lot of other quarterback quarterbacks would that's why he doesn't throw as many 50-50 balls as a lot of other quarterbacks would because he doesn't have that trust for his receivers because a lot of his receivers are small and I'm not knocking them for being small I'm short myself but for the 50-50 ball that's usually something that's usually a pass that you would throw to to a bigger receiver and that's where Miles Boykin but you know there was that disconnect with Lamar Jackson the Miles Boykin for the longest and even though as the season went on we started seeing Miles Boykin slightly more involved slightly it was looking promising but then it just ended up going back to the same most stuff so I think there's there's still that that lack of trust between Lamar Jackson and Boykin and maybe all his other receivers too just because they are not all 50-50 guys and just to sort of segue to where Lamar Jackson needs to improve as a quarterback take what the defense is giving take it take it take it take it and we got to make them pay Lamar Jackson he needs to make quicker decisions Lamar Jackson a lot of times he will hold on to that ball for a long time hold on to the ball for a long time and he'll be waiting waiting wait and I understand he wants to make a play he wants to make a play but usually when you hold on to that ball for a long time sometimes it could be a big yikes but um he got to get better at just taking what the defense is giving the defense backing up okay throw some short passes take that check down you got somebody in the flats well you should depending on how the play is designed should have somebody in the flats have a little underneath route have something but and then another thing Lamar got improved on is the deep ball accuracy oh boy missed opportunities this year a lot especially the Hollywood especially the Hollywood and then the one that the interception of Duvay where again in that Titans game Duvay was going out Lamar threw it in interception then in the bills game I know it was Wendy but still Miles Boykin was going out Lamar threw it in interception interception oh I think that was actually the Titans game too was that the bills game ah either way no that was a Titans game that was a playoff Titans game so that happened in both Titans games where the receiver was going out and Lamar threw it in but and then of course like we talked about before too there were a lot of times where Hollywood he would be past the defenders and Lamar would either throw up short or Lamar would throw it too far and then there were other times with Lamar where he would just he would make the decision late and it will result in an interception or just a bad play and it reminds me of a past I think it was against the Jacksonville Jaguars Hollywood had beat his defenders beat his defense he was in the back of the end zone he was straight but Lamar hesitated and hesitated and hesitated then he threw it late interception interception so I think what Lamar was one thing that's got to definitely improve is the decision-making and really the the timing of the decision-making the timing because we saw earlier in the season how there was a lot of hesitation and there was some throughout the end of the season too but that that has definitely got got to step up now another thing too I know my god Josh Hoffman talks about this extensively is Lamar getting jittery getting flustered and we saw that in the playoff game and I know somebody just mentioned in the comment section like within the past 30 minutes where they said that with Lamar a lot of times on his emotion sort of takes over the game let me see if I can find the exact comment because they worded it very well alright here goes it came from M. Olson he said well if you go back and watch that game quite a few players were playing nervous Lamar Jackson in particular looked especially unsettled this is concerning to me because usually when you get your first playoff when suddenly pressure melts away and you can go out there and just be you Lamar however looked like this was his first playoff game all over again Flacco was teased for always looking the same and never showing any emotion whereas Lamar lets his emotions overtake him and that's not good it's obvious that the kid has more talent than anyone else on the field but he often lets his passion swallow him up in the biggest of games and I do like how that was worded because it is true it's true now some of the reasons for that especially that bills game that offensive line was a huge yikes and something that we talk about a lot on here is the QB clock Lamar QB clock it was all kinds of off in that bills game why because he wasn't getting blocked for literally all game long and that's another part where like my guy JT brought up the trust factor with Lamar with his receivers I also think that there could be a trust factor with Lamar Jackson in his offensive line because over the past couple of years the offensive line definitely last year and even this year bit too but this year like we've really seen without Marcianda from the jump we saw a lot of just mistakes problems and exposures but the offensive line has been a bit overrated why and that's because when pressure comes Lamar can make people miss but if that pressure is continuing to come then you're not gonna trust your offensive line that that QB clock in your head is gonna go off like that even when there's not pressure coming in because you're gonna end up getting flustered you're gonna end up getting frustrated cuz it's like man these guys ain't blocking for me so I don't expect them to block for me especially when we they know it's a pass and play I what am I gonna do so then Lamar Jackson he would try to be Superman and he would have to be Superman and then that circles back around to Greg Roman too because it's like man stop trying to like I understand the offense lives and dies through Lamar Jackson but let other people use their talents to we know what Lamar Jackson can do we know he can run all over the field we know he can pass we know to do all this stuff but it doesn't just have to be him let other people get their shine on to let other people put in that work too I've heard so many people say when they watch film that we're Willie Snead and Miles Boykin that a lot of times they just look disinterested in their routes when they're running them they look like they they may just be going through the motions because they know the ball's not coming their way they just know it so that's on the designer the place that's on Lamar too though that's on Lamar too because there will be times when Miles Boykin will have an opportunity whether he was opening whether it was one-on-one and Lamar wouldn't hit him and again that goes back to that trust factor so hopefully this year with a full offseason even though that's no excuse for anybody because we've seen teams execute not perfectly but we've seen teams execute and get the job done even without no offseason we've seen it and then with the Ravens I feel like with them I feel like they had a leg up on so many other teams because none of their staff was changing for the most part they still had a lot of the same people so it was like oh what's the excuse what's the reason but hopefully this year and I mean based on history it ain't looking like it but hopefully this year will be some different with this offense hopefully but again like I said everybody got to step it up so with Deion Kane we kind of we went way left but with Deion Kane potentials there the put the potential is there for sure no doubts about it he got all the potential in the world but how will he fit in this offense and how will this offense fit him in team keep it clean I love y'all and I'm out
