 What would be some of the best trade scenarios for the Ravens? What position should the Ravens target in the 2020 draft? Are the Ravens really contenders this season? And if not, what can they do to get there? These questions and more on this episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers. YouTube Team Keep It Clean, what's going on, it's Ingraven here with another video and in this video we got another episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers which is a series where you can ask me any NFL question you want to based off of any NFL team and we answered in a video just like this.

So hit them up and let them know that Team Keep It Clean sent you so they can take care of you. And a quick, I said a quick reminder, to make sure you take breaks, make sure you take breaks, make sure you take time away from whatever it is that you do. Like me, y'all know we make a lot of videos, make a lot of videos every single day. And I enjoy what we do, it's fun, but at the same time, there are breaks that are needed. And yesterday I took a break, I only made one video, and well, not yesterday from when you're seeing this, but the day that I put out the Ravens Bengals preview video was on Wednesday. That was the only video that I made, I didn't make anything else, I didn't edit anything else, I said, you know, I need a break. So I took a break and I feel refreshed and do no YouTube stuff for the rest of the day. I relaxed, went to sleep early, and I feel refreshed, I feel great, like really great. So I just wanted to remind you guys, too, to make sure you take breaks. Anyway, we took enough breaks, so let's go ahead and break down these questions. First question came from my boy, Perfect One. Shout out to him, he's one of the mods in the streams, so let's get into it. Make sure you're sitting down for this one. He says, so my question from subscribers, is it really that the wide receivers are not able to get open or other contributing factors that are influencing the lack of production? Hit me out on this one. For the last few years, we have been constantly told that our wide receivers are horrible and to a certain extent, I used to believe this narrative until I really started to pay attention. Oh, this sounds like it's about to get good. Because again, I tell y'all that for about 99% of these questions, I don't read them before we do the video. And this one, when I got it, I take my screenshots of the questions so I can save them, and then I read them as we do the video. So when he sent me this, and it took five screenshots to get all of this, so it's about to get juicy. Anyway, let's get into it. So he said, again, for the last few years, we've been constantly told that our wide receivers are horrible and to a certain extent, I used to believe this narrative until I really started to pay attention. I believe part of the blame is the wide outs. However, I also have to blame Lamar on trying to learn his timing, but more blame falls on the offensive line, because I know this was said with flackle to anyway, I still believe the biggest blame falls on into the offensive coordinator in John Harbaugh. The reason that I claim this is because the offensive coordinators have changed, but time and time again, we have seen the same schemes and the same production. The only comment has been John Harbaugh. With us knowing that he likes to keep control, and the way he seems to make terrible calls, I tend to think this is more on his head. We are still running a variation of the playbook that Marty used to run, even if we have a different play caller. I think that we will never be able to set up the deep plays the way we want because we lack middle ground. It's sad that Hollywood and Andrews draw so much attention and targets while the others struggle to get looks. I believe this is to be a scheme issue due to not using the players to their strengths. When Hollywood went out today, we didn't have anyone to stretch the field. Hollywood is only good for blocking as he has never had much production catching the ball. Snead and Moore should be productive in his system, and yet we never noticed him. My long-winded rant comes down to I believe that the wide receivers get blamed far more than they should. I think until we correct our offensive line, we will struggle. Since the offensive line is having trouble, we need to adjust how long plays take to develop. But yet all I have seen is a struggling team continue to struggle. I don't think John Harbaugh is a bad coach, and I do feel that we are lucky to have had him for this long, but I feel that his time here has ran its course. The reason I feel this way is because he has done certain things that I feel have shaped his demise. He is too stubborn and only his way works. A good coach learns from his mistakes and doesn't continue to repeat them. I didn't like the way he handled the mutiny before, or the pyramid injury, or the release of Tim Williams. The main reason is the way he has handled past players. If you look around the league, you see vets after they retire come back to help with mentoring the team. I think if we change coaches at the end of the year, it could shift the culture in a better direction. I think we need this push to truly become an offensive team. He only gets rid of his friends when his butt is on the line, instead of to improve the team. He never takes responsibility for his lack of judgment. Worst of all, previous players don't respect him. I still don't think that he can coach either side of the ball, meaning offense or defense. And yeah, well, his dance to that very last part, his specialty is special teams. So he doesn't specialize in offense and he doesn't specialize in defense. He specializes in special teams. And that has been the most consistent thing under John Harbaugh, special teams. But anyway, yeah, you make some very, very good points, especially about the consistency of the Ravens and their wide receivers. It has been, yeah, the offensive line is a big problem when it comes to that. I've seen the same thing just around during this season. Yeah, Lamar only looks for Hollywood and Mark Andrews, but nobody else is getting separation. But yeah, with the offensive line, they play a big part in that. Lamar plays a big part in that, too, with looking at other guys and giving them chances. But with the offensive line, they would give Lamar time to survey the field for guys' routes to develop and for whether it's the deep pass, the short pass, whatever. It would give them time to really, like I said, go through their whole route tree. Now, another good point you made, it does definitely fall on coaching. And we've talked about that a lot on here, especially recently that falls on coaching big time. Because if your offensive, like coach said, coach, except to Tali, coach, Ivan Evans, y'all know him. He said that this offensive line is not built to pass block. They're not built to pass block. And we see that every single game. Week one, one sack, week two, two sacks, week three, three sacks, week four, four sacks, week five, five sacks. Hopefully in week six against the Bengals, that trend doesn't continue. But this offensive line, if they can't hold up pass blocks, which they haven't been able to. But if they continue to not be able to hold up with pass blocking, then we need to get more short passes going. We need to get more slants, more drags, more hitches, more all that stuff. They need to do that stuff because you can't just rely on a deep ball. You've got to mix it up. And he talked about how with Greg Roman, he's just running a variation of the Marty Morniwake plays. And I remember they talked about it with Marty Morniwake. He would say like 50 words to call one play. But Greg Roman, he simplified it. So yeah, and so they've already come out and pretty much said that, yeah, this is they're not going to change everything with the playbook, but they're just going to simplify a lot of stuff. And they're going to make sure they made a few adjustments here and there, too. But they have not been creative enough. And in order to be creative, you don't have to be pretty. You don't have to be fancy. You don't have to do all these crazy looking plays and these exotic looking plays and all, no, but get different guys involved. Hollywood is not the only wide receiver on the team. Mark Andrews is not the only tight end on the team. They are not the only guys on the team, but they're the only guys that's producing in the past catching game. Willie Snead shows up here and there, but other guys have got to get it. Like you got this giant, you got this giant Miles Boykin. You got this other giant, Jalil Scott, not even active yet. You got Spices of Seth Roberts, Chris Moore. Like what's the problem? What's the problem? Why are none of these dudes ever just coming across the field? Because if they got the speed to beat the corner, whether the defense is playing man or whether they play in zone, you can find these guys. You can find these guys and create plays to get them that separation, find plays to get those guys involved, find plays to get these guys the ball. Because again, we talked about time and time again. If Hollywood and Mark Andrews are the only options in the passing game, teams take them out, then what? They're not going to go off every game and it's crazy that our top two pass catchers are hurt. Our top two pass catchers, not even 100%. But we got to rely on those guys to carry the team in the passing game. That's got to be fixed. And yeah, while that is on LeMau, while that is on the offensive line, while it's on the receivers, it's the most, it's on coaching. It's on coaching because you are the coaches that draw up the plays, they're called up plays that are supposed to be getting these different guys involved. Of course, you can't go on LeMau's head and make him throw to who you want him to throw to, but you can come up with plays that are designed to get different guys involved. Why don't we run screens? Again, we talk about it time and time again. Teams take away the DPAC. Why don't we run screens? Why not? It seems as if it's been the deep play or it's nothing. Live by, die by. And you got to be more creative going forward. So yeah, and like he said, the one constant that's been here has been John Harbaugh. With all these different offensive coordinators, John Harbaugh still been here. He's still been here. With the inconsistency zone offense, John Harbaugh still been here. He has been one constant through so much. So we just got to hope it improves. We got to hope it improves and hope they can start getting more guys involved. And that starts this weekend against the Bengals. So real good input. Appreciate it. Next question came from a boy, Big Bird Jerm. He said, I was going over the snap count from yesterday and saw that Seth Robbins played 65% of our offensive snaps, but only saw two targets. Do you think Lamar is having trouble seeing the field? All right, see, look at that again. Team keeping clean, a lot of y'all be thinking on the same wavelength. But anyway, he said, if he is, do you think it's because of lack of experience or protection? Look at that. Boom. Perfect one. In his question, he just talked about the same thing. Same thing. That's why I love Team Keeping Clean, because y'all be on it, man. Y'all be on it. Anyway, he said, could it also be that Seth Robbins can't get open? Look at that. Y'all be on it, man. It would be hard for me to believe that considering how much they put him on the field. Could it be that Lamar maybe doesn't trust Seth as much as he does guys like Mark Hollywood and Willie Snead? If that's the case, then why even have him on the field? The offense has just been on my mind a lot lately, and I want to know your opinion on this. Thank you. Y'all be on it, man. On it, man. But anyway, question by question, do you think Lamar is having trouble seeing the field? I don't. For some place, yeah. For some place, for a little bit, he does struggle a little bit with it. But for the most part, overall, no. And the next question was, and if he is having trouble seeing the field, do you think it's because of the lack of experience or the lack of protection? I think it's a mix of both. But I think the protection weighs heavy in that because he just hasn't had much time. He hasn't had much time. And then he gets so flustered because the pass rush keeps coming in because guys are not blocking. And then after a while throughout the game, you start seeing him, that clock in his head, go off a lot faster. So he's expecting the pass rush to come in because his offensive line has not been blocking. They let in guys through. And so he said, could it also be that Seth Roberts can't get open? I don't think that's it. And again, coaching, that goes down to coaching. But anyway, it would be hard for me to believe that considering how much they put him on the field. And could it be that maybe Lamar maybe just doesn't trust Seth as much as he does guys like Mark Hollywood and Willie Snead. And again, these are guys that he definitely got a great rapport with, both on and off the field. I don't know how it is with Seth Roberts. But hopefully they do get him involved a lot more real soon. And yeah, the offense has been on my mind a lot too. Like Big Bird Germ said, I agree. It's been on my mind a whole lot too because it is a major concern of mine. I don't know what they rank now. I know last week that going into the game, they'll rank though a number one offense, but I think it's very misleading. Next question came from my boy, Yozef D. He said, oh, we got, oh yeah, this is a, all right, might have to sit back for this one because we gonna be in here for a ride on this one. Let's go. He said, keep up the great work. Appreciate it, man. He said, the Ravens are loaded with draft picks for the next two years and will have around 70 million cap space this off season. Can you see the Ravens pulling off all these trades? Oh, so this is about to get real. Trade number one, Ravens get Jalen Ramsey and a 2021 seventh round pick. And Jags get the Ravens first round picks for the next two years. And a 2024th and a 2021 fifth and seven. And Hayden Hurst. Whoa, that's a lot, man. That is a, that's a lot. Great, getting Jalen Ramsey in just a 2021 seventh round pick. And then they will get our next two first round picks and a 2024th and a 2021 fifth and a seventh round pick and a Hayden Hurst. Nah, I don't like that, but okay, but okay. He continued. He said, it may sound like a lot to give up as it is essentially giving up three first round picks. But if Ramsey could have an effect on a Raven secondary like Khalil Mack had on the Bears defense, then this trade would make sense for both sides as the Jags would have a jumpstart on building a team around Gardner Menchew and give him a good talent at their biggest offensive position of need. And for the handful of late round picks that I threw in, the Ravens will have many compensatory picks as always. Again, I'm basing this off of the Khalil Mack trade where the Bears had to give up a first and seconds for two straight years. Okay, I like how you put that. And I appreciate you putting that too a lot because you knew it was gonna, you knew it sounded like a lot. You knew it sounded like a lot. And you were like, oh man, uh-oh. Team keep it clean about the freak out once they hear this. But then you explained your reasoning. So I appreciate that. Then he said, trade number two, Ravens get Sunoo. So Ravens get Mohammed Sunoo. The Falcons get Ravens 20-26 round pick and a 20-21 seventh round pick. Okay, cool. Solid receiver, real good hands, he can block. Anyway, unlike the Ramsey trade, this trade may seem like a steal for the Ravens, but with the Falcons season seemingly lost, this trade really makes sense for the Falcons as well. If you look at the trade that Eagles did for the Shawn Jackson, it is exactly the same trade I said. They gave up in 2019-6 and 20-27 to a Bucks team who were struggling. Mohammed Sunoo could really help the Ravens who are in need of a wider receiver who can create separation besides the dangerous Hollywood Brown. Look at that. Again, team y'all all be on the same wavelength. Same wavelength, so another good one. Trade number three, Ravens get Ryan Kerrigan. The Redskins get Ravens 20-25th round and a 20-21 fourth. I would like that one. He said, okay, let's put it plain and simple. The Redskins are garbage. This could mean the Redskins will look to clear out their roster as they look to restart their franchise after the firing of Jay Gruden. Good point. Ryan Kerrigan is a proven pass rusher who can help any NFL squad but will possibly prefer to go to the Ravens as he would be forced to move his family. But again, he can't choose where he's traded to. So he did put that because your Sef knows team keep it clean because you know some of y'all be super technical and some of y'all look for every little thing wrong that somebody says. And he knows it because he's been around team keep it clean for a minute, so he knows some of y'all, the petty ones. Anyway, so he said, again, he can't choose where he's traded to but just like the Seahawks who were desperate to give away, just like the Seahawks who were desperate to get Jadavian Clowney, no, wait a minute. I think he meant just like the Texans. So just like the Texans who were desperate to give away Jadavian Clowney, the Redskins might do the same with Kerrigan who is significantly older. For the Ravens, this would give them the reliable pass rusher across from Judon who is also solid at setting the edge in the run game. Yes, and that would be something that would automatically upgrade the Ravens. I know I'm asking for a lot to happen but let me break it down like this. 2020 picks given up, four, okay, let me slow down. So the 2020 picks that would be given up, there'd be four of them. A first round, a fourth round, a fifth round and a sixth round, that's confusing too. We know when I go like this, like one, two, three, four but I say a first, a fourth, a fifth and a sixth. Anyway, Ravens may get third round compensatory pick package with a possible fourth or fifth round compensatory pick. Ravens also have two fourth round picks with one being from the Pets. Yes, it's a lot to give up but it may be worth it. 2021 picks given up, four. So a first, a fourth, a fifth and two sevenths. So that would be five. Ravens will once again be given up a lot. They may have some compensatory picks and it's still a lot but it might be worth it. Players given up, just Hayden Hurst. Hurst has shown flashes but has yet to put together the great career Ravens fans are hoping for. Now, let's look at what the Ravens will get. So he was, he's saying that the Ravens actually do all of these trades, not picking one but the Ravens actually go through with all of these trades this season. Oh, that, that would be something. Now he said, let's take a look at what the Ravens would get. Jaylen Ramsey, Ryan Kerrigan and Mohamed Sanu. And they would trade the 2021 seventh round pick in a trade for Sanu. This will give the Ravens two elite cornerbacks along with the star free safety arrow, Thomas. This would also give the Ravens a big target for Lamar Jackson and a guy on a two year contract that's really sneak might leave after this season. Ryan Kerrigan is also on a two year deal and gives us a solid all around edge Russia. Now the most important thing, do the Ravens have the cap space to do this while also retaining enough money to sign new players and bring back some others? Simple answer, yes. As mentioned before, the Ravens will have 70 million cap next off season, which may grow if Fyander retires. And he said, God, please don't let that happen and a player will get cut or traded. And they could easily fit this under their cap. If you combine Sanu and Kerrigan's cap hit, you will get a total of a 20 mil cap hit. We are now down to 50 mil. Now we can give Ramsey his money and make him the highest paid quarterback in the league. Now we were down to 33 mil. Now is decision time. The Ravens could easily go sign either Michael Pierce or Jude on or both. But if the Ravens would elect to sign or franchise tag one of them, that would leave the Ravens with approximately 18 mil. Again, they may have more money if players retire and are traded or cut. If the Ravens elect to sign both Pierce and Jude on, they will have to let go of guys like Peanut, Anthony Levine, Senior Man of Scourge, Jimmy Smith, Brandon Koss, Sneed, Pernel McPhee, Kennedy and some others. They might be able to sign some of those guys because again, they may have more money if players retire and are traded or cut. Then they can go out in a draft to draft interior offensive linemen. Inside linebackers, wide receivers and pass rushers. So bottom line, Ravens can bolster this team for this year while still being able to retain these guys for the future. These moves will give the Ravens an elite secondary of better pass rush and a solid wide receiver. But reward also comes with loss as we may have to say goodbye to some key players from this team. But they also have options to cut care again after one year and save some money towards contracts for Jude on and or Pierce. Life is never easy in the NFL and nor are decisions but these trades could work in the Ravens favor. I would love if the Ravens made these moves because I believe the cost will find a way to work with the cap and keep good players on this team for future years. I would want the Ravens to only re-sign Michael Pierce and let Jude on go. We could, you see. One second y'all, screenshot got interrupted. Okay, I will want the Ravens to only re-sign Michael Pierce and let Jude on go. We could then bring back guys like Kars, Scurra, Peanut, McPhee who will probably take a discount and Levine. My numbers may not all match up but again they may have more money if players retire and are traded or cut. But that would also mean saying goodbye to players like Chris Morseath, Roberts, Jimmy Smith, Matt, Jude on will he seed and a bunch more. It will be tough to see these guys go but it may be necessary. The Ravens may have two 20, 23rd round picks along with the second and can build a better pass rush inside linebacker court and interior offensive line and wide receiver court. Thanks for all that you do and go Ravens. So that was a fun one. He broke everything down and yeah, he let us know why those trades could work, how they could happen and even the salary cap implications as well. So appreciate that yourself. Thank you, man. Next question came from a guy, Joey Flores. He said, man, are you watching this 49ers pass rush and that was against the game versus the Browns? He said, making me miss the Ravens defense so much. So do the Ravens use their first round pick on a pass rusher 100% in 2020? Or what else do you see as a big need or as big as a need? Thanks again. Hey, no problem man. Thank you. Pass rush is definitely a big need. So pass rusher, interior offensive line. I think those are two of the biggest things that the Ravens need this off season. And just secondary depth too. Oh, inside linebacker. So pass rush, interior offensive line, inside linebacker of the future. Who is going to be our guy? That's what I would go with. Next question came from a guy, Ty Berkins. An investigator, Ty. That's what I'm going to call him for this one. He sent me a post that Hayden Hurst put on his Instagram and it was him jumping over a stealer's defender and it said, by any means necessary. And it said, hashtag still here. And my guy, Ty, he said, hashtag still here. Do you think that means he might have been on the trading block? It could have been. It could have been him taking a little shot at him possibly being traded but him being, him still being here. So I'll be telling y'all, man, that team keep it clean. Y'all be some investigators, man. Next question came from my guy, Maurice. He said, sorry, one more question. Do you think we could be legitimate contenders if we dominate the Bengals? Or do we have to get that win against the winning team to be taken seriously? I can't lie, I somehow see us winning might need this to watch the game. And what he said we might need to watch the game was this. Tyler, no, I don't know if y'all can see that. If you can, cool, if you can't. Well, I explained it to you. Yeah, for the Ravens, them beating the Bengals, that's not gonna wake anybody up. That's not gonna make the, like the Ravens. Oh yeah, well the Ravens, they beat the Bengals, they're contenders now. No, not at all. Even if they were to dominate the Bengals, which I don't expect them to, I hope they do, but I don't expect them to. I still think it's gonna be a super stressful, annoying game. But for them to really be considered a contender, they would have to take care of business against the Seahawks. They would really have to. They would, oh gosh, these guys, these some tough game, this schedule, boy, it's rough. But they would have to take care of business against the Seahawks this year. Then we could have some contender talk then, but against the Bengals, if they win against the Bengals, they're not gonna be considered a serious contender for beating a winless team. Next question came from my guy, Tony. He said, do you think it would be a smart move for the Ravens to move Kenny Young from inside linebacker to outside linebacker so he can rush to pass her? I think he has a speed and agility to get around the tackles. I wouldn't be mad if they tried it out on a few plays, like had him rushing from the outside just to see. But it would be one of those cases where the Ravens would be using somebody. I know it hasn't worked out for him at inside linebacker overall, but it hasn't worked out for anybody inside linebacker overall this season, so. But I wouldn't want it to be one of those Camille Correa type of things, to wear the Ray, or Tony Jefferson type of things, or Matt Elam type of things, or Keenan Reynolds type of things. My point is I wouldn't want it to be one of those type of things where Ravens, they draft these guys, or they sign these guys, and they don't play them to their strengths, they play them out of position, they don't play them for the reasons that they were drafted for. I don't want that to be the case, but I wouldn't mind if they tried it out, just to put some feelers out for us, see how it was, and if it worked, it worked, but if it didn't, I just don't want them to have him out of position. Next question came from a guy that dude, Jarvo, he said, loving the grind man and glad YouTube recommended me to your channel. Hey, I appreciate that. And YouTube, I appreciate that too. Thank you YouTube for putting Jarvo on. Now he said a few questions. If you were to GM, which players would you trade for and who would you give up? Oh, yikes. Okay. So if you were to GM, which players would you trade for and who would you also give up? If I was a GM, who would I trade for? Well, I guess at least attempt to trade for because I can only do so much. It's up to the other GMs too. Um, I think I would be thinking about both Karrigan and Von Miller, seeing what it would take to get those guys. Jaylen Ramsey, I know it just came out while I'm recording this video that Shod Khan said he had a heart to heart with Jaylen Ramsey and he believes that Ramsey gonna play this week. But anyway, I would check on that. I would check on those guys, depending on their cap hit. And I would also look around the league to see some underrated guys. I would also wanna check on Yana Kingaigwe. See what, I think he would be a big one that I would really, really want because he's on the last, he's getting ready to be a free agent next year. But if I could trade for him, yeah, I would have to give up something really good. I would have to give up something really good. But if I could trade for him, I could take him away from free agency and he can come on the team, come through, play this year and he could, we could sign him to the deal. So he could be with us. We could take care of him but he even got to think about free agency. Who would I give up? I couldn't give up Brandon Carr. Not doing this season because it's just been too much uncertainty at the cornerback position. But next season I would, I think I would let him go. Love Brandon Carr, love everything he did. He's starting to take a little step back. I would trade, I would trade Chris Moore. I know he's been, he's a special teams guy, really good on special teams. I would trade him and put Jalil Scott out there. But first, before I did that though, I would actually, I would deactivate him and have Jalil Scott active on game day and have him out there and just see if we can get something out of him. And if we can get something out of him, then I would make the trade. But again, back to trading four guys. An interior offensive lineman. I know Quentin Nelson, we wouldn't be able to get him. But I would really look for a left guard. I don't know who, but I would really look for a left guard to really upgrade that interior because it's ugly, it's been really ugly. And he also said, do you think we should have re-signed Moseley and Zdaria Smith and then found a way to get Earl Thomas? I mean, hindsight is obviously 20-20, but yeah, that would be nice. Both of those guys would command big money. But it would be worth it. It would be worth it because that would give us smarts on the interior, well, inside linebacker, a leader. And then if we could've still got Earl Thomas or got Honey Badger, we would've still been straight back there. So yeah, it would've been, things would've been a lot better than they have been on defense if we still would've been able to keep C.J. Moseley. Next question that came from my guy, Cam 163. He said, okay, all right. Oof, you know, you're gonna rub some people the wrong way. But anyway, he said, if Lamar doesn't pan out, I think he'll be just fine, but hypothetically speaking, can we stop giving out QBs the number eight? It's only been nothing but curse, but a curse. Examples, Matt Schaub, Kyle Baller, Trent Delford. Yes, he counts because he was definitely not the reason we won that Super Bowl. And he said, and then Lamar Jackson. And then he said, hopefully not. Is the number eight that powerful? Well, we'll see how Lamar Jackson career goes. Next question came from my guy, Jackson Landers. He said, I heard some rumors of Yannick and Gagway, of a Yannick and Gagway trade. Maybe what are your thoughts on whether the Ravens should keep their picks or trade for a defensive back or pass rusher? Also think that if we get Jalen, he would temporarily play strong safety until Smith comes back. No, not that, not the strong safety part. But anyway, if the Ravens could get a Yannick and Gagway, I would be down for that. I'll be down for that. That would be cool. That would be a really good player. Somebody that can help set the edge and somebody that could also help in the pass rush department. So that would be an automatic upgrade. And he would help everybody behind them too. He would help the linebackers and help the corners too. So if they could do that, I'd be cool with it. Next question came from my guy, King Greco. He said, and Graven, what's going on? I got a question. Are the Ravens really trying to contend this year? With the organization knowing what our weaknesses are and them not making a trade or two for impact players, it seems like they are content with going through a growing pain season. I know they love their draft picks, but with the lack of hits over the last four years on these draft picks, especially on the defensive side, I for one wouldn't mind the trade. Thanks for the read and keep up the great work. Team, keep it clean. Appreciate that, King Greco. So are they really trying to contend this year? I think they are. And I mean, we've heard rumors about them possibly being interested in making some trades for some people, but we don't know the validity of it. We don't know how legitimate those rumors were. And I mean, and right now they're just rumors until Ravens actually make a move. Cause I mean, in free agency, you could try that. You could dip your hand in that, which they have with the LJ Ford with the Josh Bynes. And Josh Bynes, he made an immediate impact LJ Ford did on special teams on the first play. But let's see, let's see. But is this team really one player away from really taking a big step? I think they are. Are they one player away from being a Super Bowl contender? I don't know about that part, but they are one edge player. They are one pass Russia away from the defense taking a major stride forward, major stride forward. And on offense, they have guys, they just got to use the guys. So in order for them to really be a contender, I think they are trying to be a contender, but they also want to really evaluate what they have right now at the different positions. And they could be playing for the present and also looking to the future at the same time. The question came from a boy, Trev. He said, do you feel like this game versus Sensey is that one October trap game that the Ravens are supposed to win, but they end up losing? I don't even think it's really a trap game. It's just a game against the Bengals. And they are a tough team. They, while they have lost all of their games so far, for enough of them, they have been in their games. They were in their game at the Seahawks and lost at the very end. They were in their game against, now they got blown out by the 49ers. They, it's like every other game, they lose in a tight one and then every other game besides that, they get blown out. But so they've played three tight ones and got blown out twice. So it's going to be tough, man. And Bengals are not scared of the Ravens. They're not scared of being in Baltimore playing the Ravens. Andy Dalton has absolutely no fear with the Ravens. So it's a very scary game. I don't think it's a trap game. Well, I guess when you consider the definition of a trap game, it could be considered that. But, well, it's, Ravens could lose this one. And I honestly wouldn't be shocked. I hope they don't, but I honestly wouldn't be shocked if they did. But, because the team that we see out there, it's not a good team. They got a lot of work to do and they're young. So they got growing pains and whatnot, but they got a long way to go. So hopefully this long way to go starts with beating the Bengals and they can carry over to the next games throughout the season. Next question came from a boy, Austin. He said, should the Ravens trade some draft picks to give a huge offer to the Jaguars for Kalea's Campbell and Jalen Ramsey? Ooh! Not out. That would be Blockbuster, Blockbuster. That would be Hollywood video Blockbuster. Kalea's Campbell and Jalen Ramsey. Man, how old is Kalea's Campbell? Cause I know he been around the game for a little minute. He was with the Cardinals too. The Cardinals, Jaguars, he be making stuff happen, man. He be making stuff happen. It depends on the money, cause he's getting paid and cause he was a big free agent acquisition for them a couple of years ago. So he's getting paid and Jalen Ramsey would have to get paid. Ooh! That would be Blockbuster for real, but that would be two really good pickups. But it would just depend on where Kalea's Campbell is in this point in his career. But he can obviously steal a ball. So, ooh, that would be big, man. Expression came from a boy, Carlo. He said, I was just rewatching the game against the Steelers. And he said, thanks all 22. And I see we have a glaring need at wide receiver. The Mars are pulling all the coverage and nobody else out there are winning. They're one on ones, except Snead sometimes. Do you think the Splash player we need to be, could be acquired via Blockbuster trade or maybe on our roster already, but needs to develop a little bit longer. I hope it's both and I believe both will happen. So, you said, is the Splash player we need either on our roster already or could they be acquired via trade or some of both? I'm hoping they really get Boykin involved a lot more. He got some speed. He got size. You know, his hands have been up and down, but with his hands being up and down, let's try to get him into a rhythm. And when people are in a rhythm, then things start clicking more. So if he's getting more passes thrown his way, yeah, he may drop one, but then he may end up catching four. So let's get guys involved. That's been the problem. They haven't been getting guys involved. So it's like if the Ravens go trade for somebody, they could do that, that'd be cool. But then are they gonna actually get them involved in the game? I mean, they would almost be forced to if they go trade for them. But let's try that with what we actually have on the roster now. Next question came from a boy, Contact Diddy. He said, man, I watched your live yesterday. And I say, go with Eric Berry. Even with the age gap, he might be faster than Chuck Clark and DeSean Elliott. And we need the experience going with the younger player. Oh, and we need the experience. Going with the younger player hasn't worked out good for us this year. As you can see, I just thought about it. And what you think about bringing back Mike Wallace? Now, hit me out. See, cause he knew. He knew. As soon as he said that, he put now hit me out. But he said, if we did that, that's two speedsters. It would be hard for other teams to double Marquis Brown and Mark Andrews. And then if Brown goes out, Mike is still a deep threat. You have speedsters already. You have Chris Moore. You have Seth Roberts. You got Boykin. Boykin is a little different type of speedster, but you got those guys. I get them involved. And I don't know what's going on with Mike Wallace. I see him on Twitter all the time, but I don't know. Is he a free agent? I guess he is. Cause he was on Eagles last year, but then he got on Injury Reserve. I don't know if he's still here. I don't know what the status of Mike Wallace is. I have no clue. But I want them to get that guys involved, man. It's so frustrating watching Raven's offense and it's the same people. Get the other guys a ball. Next question came from my guy, Nathan Grape. He said, do you think the reason the defense has suffered is Joe Fleco in the dumb contract we gave? And we simply didn't have the cap space. Think about it. We never overpaid for an offensive player before. Oh, before Fleco. So we could afford to keep pieces on defense. No, I don't think that's it. Cause Fleco was here while they had a, well, they mostly was a rookie. As Darius Smith was still on his rookie count. All those guys were on that rookie contracts. But no, that's not it because they still signed guys like Eric Guero. They still signed guys like, I got to say TJ Hoosman is out of Tony Jefferson. They still signed guys on defense to these big deals, but they would neglect the offense. They'll be super cheap on offense. They'll get guys like Michael Crabtree who signed a $21 million deal, but super cheap. John Brown, they signed him to a one year, five or $6 million deal. Willie Snead, they signed him to a two year, the office sheet for two years, 10 meal. So they spend that money on defense now, but offense, they go cheap. So no, it ain't got nothing to do with Fleco contract. They just been cheap with offensive players for the longest. And then of course, he go back to Anquan Bolden. I know a lot of people like to put the blame on Fleco's contract, but that wasn't it. It wasn't it. And I think Ravens, they just wanted to make sure with Fleco, that was where the market was at. That was where the market was at. So Fleco cashed in at the perfect time and Ravens, I think the second part of the contract was bad. But the first one, the initial contract with Fleco, no, not at all. He got paid when he was supposed to get paid. And he had just won a Super Bowl. You can't throw him to the side. You can't be like, oh, the guy who won you the Super Bowl, you don't just throw him to the side. You gotta take care of them. They tried to take care of them the year before, but things didn't work out. So took care of them the year after you won a Super Bowl. And then they were cheap with Anquan Bolden. Six round pick to the 49s. Okay, bye, you're gone. Tori Smith, they wanted to pay him. They tried to keep him, but the 49s were paying $5 million more. They were willing to pay $5 million more than the Ravens. Okay, Tori Smith going now too. So you being cheap, guys are gonna hit it, man. Guys are gonna clear it, man. They gone. So that's been the Ravens thing. They've just been cheap. So no, they ain't gonna do a Fleco though. Next question came from my boy, Purple Birds. He said, I saw you put up the video about DJ Swaranger. Do you think we're gonna get him? He would be a nice addition, but he seems like an alpha. And you said he caused our coaching with that with Hobbs and the whole alpha male thing. Do you still think we signed him? I think they may take a look at him. And I think they're really gonna watch how this game goes on Sunday against the Bengals. And I think a lot depends on that, whether the game goes really good. And Drew's really had a safety's play against the Bengals. Cause this is gonna be their first test just to see how they do without Tony Jefferson. And it sucks that the Ravens have been put in that situation. Cause it wasn't by choice, it was by force. But yeah, now they forced to really do some evaluating. So I think it just, everything just really depends on how these young guys play Chuck Clark and DeSean Elliott in Tony Jefferson's absence. Next question came from my boy, Dave42. He said, do you think AJ Green will be a nice trade option? I know he's been hurt, but when healthy he is one of the best. And would they trade him to a conference full? Well, really a division full. So, do you think AJ Green will be a nice trade option? If they could get him for cheap, like a fifth round pick or lower, that probably ain't gonna happen. A fourth rounder, you know what? I would even budge on a fourth rounder. I would even budge on that. But again, like you say it, hurt. That's why I wouldn't really wanna invest anything too high in him because he's always hurt. He's always a phenomenal wide receiver, great wide receiver, love him. Love him. Great wide receiver, but he's always hurt. You can't be great if you can't get on a field. And he's always hurt. But man, oh man, that would be beautiful. And AJ Green, oh gosh. A sure-handed wide receiver, tall wide receiver. He can move, his speed is under, he ain't no burner, but he can move now, man. Oh, that would be nice. But would they trade him to a division full? If the offer's right, I think they would. They wouldn't want to, but if that offer's right, like Raven's greedy or something good, I think they would, man. So shout out to the Redskins, and there he goes, man. Next question came from Spooky Ghostface. He said, with all these injuries, what do you think the Ravens shall go out and trade for the most? He said, maybe Jaylen Ramsey, Patrick Peterson, Emmanuel Sanders, Jarrod McCoy, Jarrod McCoy. Chris Harris Jr., even AJ Green or Stefan Diggs. Well, out of those guys, well, Jarrod McCoy, was he on a one-year deal with the Pandas? But, well, they could move him around on a defensive line. Jaylen Ramsey would be nice, but we still wouldn't have a pass for us. Patrick Peterson got to finish his suspension. He still got two more games left, but they said they're not trading him. And now the shot concept, they're still not trying to trade Jaylen Ramsey. Emmanuel Sanders, it will give us a solid wide receiver with good hands. Jarrod McCoy will give us somebody on a defensive line who can provide interior pressure, and you can put him on the outside as well. Chris Harris Jr. will give us a slight cornerback who can cover on the outside, too. And AJ Green will give us a short-handed receiver that's always hurt. Stefan Diggs will give us an explosive receiver that we would have to pay. We'll continue to pay, because he got paid. At all those guys, I think a Raven's move would be in Emmanuel Sanders. I feel like the Jaylen Ramsey, Stefan Diggs, AJ Green, Chris Harris, I feel like those names are too flashy for the Ravens. And AJ Green's still hurt. He not even healthy yet, so he ain't getting traded anyway. But I feel like the Ravens move would be like in Emmanuel Sanders. And looking for a guy that can pass rush, looking for a pass rusher, and somebody to set that edge. So at all those guys, I think the Ravens' move would be Emmanuel Sanders. But he said, who do you think the Ravens should go out and trade for the most? From people on this list, that would make an immediate, that would really make the team that much better, right away. I would say out of this list, Ramsey or Stefan Diggs, but out of NFL, Yannick and Gagoy. Next question came from my guy Andy Bermudez. He said, do you think the Ravens should sign Diggs, or I know he meant trade for Stefan Diggs, because it, because we really think about it, making one trade for a defensive player would not impact the defense immediately. Well, it actually would, if you get somebody up front on that defensive line, somebody to set the edge and somebody to pass rush, it would make a tremendous impact for the defense immediately. It would upgrade everybody. Everybody would be that much better if we had somebody that could rush to pass them. Anyway, he said, but for the offense, when Lamar Jackson came past the Hollywood of Mark Andrews, it seems to keep the offense slow. That's true. The defense has been the problem while the offense ranks among the best in the NFL. I still think the rank is misleading, but we'll keep going. That being said, the Ravens need another go-to weapon in the passing attack. The Ravens can't make one trade and fix a bunch of defensive problems. Well, they can certainly help a lot of them. But he said, trading for Stefan Diggs would be the highest impact trade they could make. So, yeah, that would be a big impact trade, but with the Ravens, they just haven't been getting their other wide receivers involved and they need to do that. You have to do, you can't survive in this league if you only throw the ball to two people. Hollywood and Mark Andrews, that's not gonna work. They gotta find ways to get their other receivers involved. It's funny because literally just now, today is October 10th at 11.45 a.m. Ravens are having a press conference at G-Rogue, Greg Roman is talking. And let me tell you what, he literally just said, just now. It's kinda sad, but anyway. He said, screens and short passes to Marquise Brown are something that the team would like to add into the offense. After five weeks, you're just realizing that? After five weeks? Come on, man. And Jeff Zerbiak said he didn't quite pinpoint why we haven't seen any of that, yet other than to say, you can't show everything at once. That is just very frustrating and yikes, big yikes. But anyway, yeah, so that's what I would do. You gotta get your guys involved that you got on the roster because what if a trade doesn't go through? But you got guys, make them make plays, create plays for them to make. I said, it's on G-Rogue and Lamar. Next question came from a boy, Rondell Stokes. He said, one, do you think the Ravens make a big trade before the deadline? I do, I do. I think they're looking for that pass rusher. So yeah, I do. And he said, too, do you think that we will be busy this off season in draft building or defense? Yes, this off season is looking to be very busy because this season, they evaluating their current guy, seeing what they got, what they don't got, and then they could be looking for the future too via draft to see what they need to upgrade the most inside linebacker, pass rush, secondary. So they know what they need and then with them getting ready to have the most money that they've had and literally like forever, that's also a good sign too. And it's not like the team, I mean, right now they're three and two and we'll see how the season goes, but it's not like this team is like in full rebuild mode, anything like that. They just are simply gonna be retooling in some different spots. So they could, we'll see how they do for the rest of this year, but they could definitely take a big leap forward with a few moves this off season through the draft. And he said, oh, love your vids, I'm a truck driver and I listen to them daily through my radio, can't watch, I gotta be safe on the road. Hey, I appreciate that, man. Thank you for listening to him on your drives, I appreciate that.
