 YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and another episode of NFL questions from subs A series where you can ask me any NFL question you want and we answer it in a video just like this If you ever want to be a part of it, you can send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com Hope for the patrons you can send it directly on Patreon shout out to all the team keep it clean patrons appreciate y'all. I love y'all and I love everybody You know, we love everybody on here We got some great questions like always cuz y'all always bring that fire Let's do it first question on this episode came from my boy Jeff J He said the experts say Justin Fields will not do well starting with the Bears because he is a rookie. Hmm last time I remember the very good quarterback started in one flacco marino, etc. Which brings me to our guy Lamar I don't care about passing yards interceptions passing touchdowns. Well, I think you should definitely care about passing touchdowns interceptions But anyway, I care about wins. Okay, I get you Lamar's not a typical quarterback and who cares these dudes and do this You just can't figure out a category to place him in cuz he doesn't fit It's entertaining to see them try but it does get tiring at the same time with all the negative He's an emotional leader as well as a heck of an athlete period Cheers He said PS if you head up for a game I treat you to a lunch or something appreciate that Jeff that'd be a pretty big lunch because I am very greedy But anyway, I appreciate it. Yeah, um, and that's a lot of people that they're gripe with Lamar Jackson He he's not he's not your typical quarterback He's not your traditional quarterback and they don't know what box to put him in so they get frustrated and say he can't do this He can't do that and they talk about what he can't do and he what he doesn't do and why he doesn't do it Like this guy doesn't why doesn't do like this traditional guy does it but he doesn't does it his way and it wins And at the end of the day, that's what matters most next question came from my boy Jordan He said what's up in gravy and hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe. Appreciate it I've been a fan of the videos for a couple years and always wanted to submit something to question from subs I know everyone says this but it's true your energy and positivity for and respect for others has created an amazing community based around Fun and love of sportsmanship that it's hard to find these days. So for that, I appreciate what you do daily sometimes more than daily Thank you man That that was I remember when we started really when we started full-time because we we had the channel for a little Well, a little while but we started full-time Back in 2018 Lamar's rookie year because that was the year that I'm Lamar's rookie year That was the year that I got laid off from my job and I was like, alright So me me and Lamar is especially both being down here at the crib and South Florida We both like joined at the hip but anyway now that was the year that I got laid off from my job and I'm like alright. Let's just try this YouTube thing out all the way see how it goes and I Just one of the goals was just I wanted it to be a place where people of different different teams You don't got to just be a Ravens fan. Obviously it's mostly Ravens fan But just wanted it to be a place where Football fans period could come through share their thoughts about whatever team but respectfully Again talk trash. That's fine. It's all in fun. But respectfully ain't got to be disrespecting. Nobody ain't got to know It ain't that serious. It's all fun, man. I'm sorry. I appreciate that man He said on to my question Are you concerned about the Ravens having a down game this week against the Lions after a rather exhausting start to the season? I know we as Ravens fans have natural expectations to compete with the best teams and beat the teams You're supposed to be my concern for this game is that we have had an issue for a while with dealing with pass catching tight ends even more so this season, I don't think outside of Cephas they are any serious threats from this depleted wide receiver room Especially after watching how well a Everett did against Hill last week How do you think the Ravens deal with Hawkins and send this week double him with a safety have Humphrey follow him And with that thought do they have a linebacker that you think can match up with any of these pass catching tight ends? um as far as a lineback at the trackers board but No, not really Patrick Queen. No Malik here, so no and these are really good tight ends So it's not a shot at any of our players, but right now. No Your best bet would probably be Chris board. We'll see though. We got to see him consistently out there against Titans You could bring Anthony Levine, but hopefully they get Jimmy Smith back now. I know they um They wouldn't rush him back for this game, but if he's ready, he'll be ready and he'll play if he's ready So that would be big but with Hawkins and I can see some Humphrey on him And if Jimmy Smith comes back I can see him on him Yeah I'd say a tight end in safety a linebacker and a safety Just chip him a doffy away like do Justin Houston approach So shout out to Justin Houston for being a coach to like man shout out to that guy One thing a lot of Ravens fans do with a lot of these players when they get older They be like, oh man, I just I just hope they come back and be a coach and like I said That's what Ravens fans always say when they like oh man, this player. He ain't good no more So but we still love him though that every time that's how it is every time whenever they say something They want somebody to come back and be a coach. That's what that really means But with Justin Houston, he's still good and he's doing this coaching stuff too He like he's showing wink had to do his job and it worked but anyway He said Anyway, thank you for taking my question and hope to see it in the video either way have an amazing day And I hope you continue to enjoy what you're doing succeeded in life as a father husband and a person appreciate your team keep it clean Go Ravens Hey, I appreciate that Jordan. Thank you, man. That was that was special man. I didn't I didn't appreciate that That last part threw me off man. I appreciate that a lot man. Thank you As far as the trap game Yes, it is a trap game, but one thing about the Ravens under Lamar Jackson They have not fallen to any trap games So that's important. That's that's something that's important to know And something to just keep in mind with this game against the Lions They they don't they don't fall into the trap. So I expect them to take care of business Uh and them to take care of business in a big way next question came from my boy Sound like like an R&B artist name. Anyway, he said what's up in Graven? I'm still raving about the Ravens game I'm looking to more turnovers this season number 99 especially on the last play He said my name is Adafi and I take the ball away. I like that one, man He said lol, hope all is well with you and the family without taking it clean and like the Ravens told KC I'm out. Oh, I like that one. Next question came from my boy Eddie 1835 K, he said what's up in Graven and team keep it clean. I went to the Ravens versus Chiefs game at the bank and it was electric With this big win over the Kansas City Chiefs Wink Mardale put his trust into a four-man rush to stop my homes and clutch defensive situations With the risk of not getting pressure on my homes with his original philosophy Which is a blitz. So my question is after the Kansas City win Do you think wink will make the same adjustments? In the future when the blitz doesn't work against good passing offenses Love what you're doing to keep up the good work. Appreciate that That's my hope I I really hope so. That's my biggest thing with wink adjustments I mean really with both coordinators head coach the Ravens period Adjustments adjustments adjustments adjustments But with wink specifically Hey, if the blitz ain't working not to say, oh, you just stop blitzing completely But be willing to make changes be willing to adjust don't go into a game and be like, all right We're gonna blitz this guy every third down. We're gonna blitz. We're gonna blitz this guy like crazy No, don't just be willing to adjust, especially if it's not working Not to say give up on it immediately if it's not working, but yes, please make adjustments So we we hope that this game against the chiefs was a Benchmark for for making adjustments a good against good passing Can't even talk man Oh, because the the whole adjustments thing just it drives me crazy, man It really does because it would just be such a lack of it. So I hope that moving forward. Yes, this is What ravens do they adjust next question came from my guy, matthew He said a engraving hope you and your family are doing great today last night's game against the chiefs Definitely felt like a movie We beat the chiefs in their best month of september despite all the fresh injuries we're dealing with My question to you is who takes an MVP of this game? Lamar is very much deserving of it. But without a way, there's no way we win this I personally might give it to a daffy away Although this night will forever go down as lamar's night. Well, can you do like a dual MVP? Because I know you said Without a way, there's no way we win this but without lamar. There's no way we win this at all um Now with lamar too Had he not thrown the two interceptions Ravens could have possibly won by even more um But again, we don't need to get into coulda woulda shoulda and maybe and if and then and I've seen it It's been a lot of chiefs fans doing just that they dug up. They like it's like they cannot give ravens credit for the win I've seen there's so many to oh man. You guys got lucky off of that fumble Oh, if it wasn't for that fumble you guys would have lost Oh if claus er was a layer didn't fumble you guys wouldn't have won the game and When you think about that, like I said luck luck is not a real thing um, but even more so with that even even if you believe in luck A daffy away knocked that ball out He made that happen the ball didn't just slip out all of a sudden Oh a daffy away stuck his hand in there and knocked it out. That wasn't by chance He took a chance and made it happen. He made something happen So since he made that play that would throw luck all the way out the window So he knocked it out and scooped it. So shout out to a daffy away Um, but yeah, I saw I would I would give the mvp to lemar, but a daffy away Like they would just have to share it together Next question came from taj. He said, uh, I know it's early But at what point do we need to start talking contract extension for sammy walkins? Let's just wait let let's let this season play out and then I'm sure if he continues to do what he's been doing They'll get there next question came from my guy tj. He said no weapons formed against us shall prosper I think lemar and the ravens are like kobi and the lakers They have big leads blow them and win or lose just like the lakers which eventually brought championships Do you think lemar is our kobi who everybody loves to hate? Or to love and our ravens offense and defense will be shack robert ory rick fox Derek fisher and lead this team through adversity to multiple championship appearances Love the viz shout out to god and homeschool parents and stay blessed and safe I would love it if that happens. Um, because the the lakers over there. They obviously Had a whole lot of success with kobi brian and now with lebron They haven't a lot of success too. Obviously didn't win last year, but they won the championship the uh the year before Um, so I would love if that happens I would love it. I would love if the ravens started their own little dynasty and whatnot That'd be cool. Um, but we got to get this the first one out the way first before they start talking dynasty Next question came from my guy jlee said ain't graven hope all as well I remember seeing in hearing a question about lemar calling audibles on a video of yours before And after that raiders came and seeing Derek car called plays at the line of scrimmage Uh presnap and not seeing lemar called audibles that I can recall It made me wonder maybe lemar doesn't call audibles because the coaches don't let them or they don't go over any audibles during practice Or maybe it's something with lemar either way Why do you think audibles aren't called often either to change a play call? Or call up a play like car was doing against us I know that we do presnap motions, but I feel like if we incorporated audibles too It could bring our offense to another level. Thanks is always engraving for the daily quality videos Appreciate that jlee. He does call audibles. Um now with the way that Derek car was doing it Like I if lemar started doing that. Oh boy. Oh boy Um, that would be something Uh, but they do change stuff up a little bit a little bit. Um, but if they if What one thing we want to see we would love to see if lemar got even more control over the offense And I think that if lemar Um, and again anybody let me know if he does do it more than we may see But if lemar took more control of the offense started calling his own place Um, and dialing up his own stuff That would allow them to get to the line of scrimmage a lot faster So they would have more opportunity to make any adjustments or whatnot any any presnap reads or whatnot But at the same time It's like it's a gift in a curse. I think it's more a curse than a gift Uh, when they get to the line of scrimmage late because that can cause you to waste time outs Like it happened, uh on sunday night against the chief, but it can cause you to waste time outs Um, but at the same time and it can cause you to get a delay again So I feel like it's more things that it can hurt you with than help you But at the same time if you get into the line all late Then that gives the defense less time to really get a read for what you're doing So it's like a gift in a curse all at the same time um Now one thing that I was thinking like man, how much control does lemar really have over this offense? It's like a weird thing to think about because Hollywood that that was lemar's choice. He told them he said go get hollywood He wanted them to get a jerry judy too, but they couldn't go that high in the draft Oh, that would have been nice too. He got autumn floater boys. But anyway, um With uh You know that the coaches they have a respectful lemar jackson because like in the last game Hey, lemar, you want to go for it? You want to you want to go for it on the fourth down? And this is to this is the game man If you don't get this the chiefs they in good territory. They got some time They can move down the field and and go kick a game in a field goal And you know that kicker would be good for it So but the for the head coach not an offensive corner not a defense But for the head coach to be like, do you want to go for it? For the head coach to seek you out out of everybody. Do you want to go for it? That shows that he definitely had some power on his offense Um, so we would love to see him take even more control because and that would allow them to run that more up tempo offense Not that you have to do that every draft because you don't But that would allow them to run that more up tempo offense to really just uh Because I love when it when they did that against the coach. I was like, oh, I love this I wish they would do it a little bit more. Um So I I do think uh, I would love for them and him too audible a little more but hey The the offense is obviously working pretty good. Um, despite so many audibles being called Um, but we would just love to see limon Do it even more to just take his game to a whole another level to continue to take his game To higher levels. Um, so we'll just see we got to wait it out and see how this thing goes Next question. Well, oh no, I guess it's actually a comment. He said uh came from a guy, josh As he said you engraving man, I don't know if you noticed but I kind of troll in your comments It's out of love though, brother. Lol. I love your passion for your team reminds me a lot of mine for my chiefs Uh, you're a kick butt dude and keep putting out great content. Keep doing your thing man. Much admiration Hey, appreciate appreciate that josh. Thank you, man. Next question came from my guy Montez D He said hey, what's up engraving? Hope you and your family doing fine. Isn't that what everybody says lol, but seriously This guy, man. Yeah, we're good. I appreciate it Anyway, I like to sit back and listen to what everybody else has to say I actually do my own Ravens take on my funny looking show. We'll love the shout out but not here for that But just haven't been nearly as consistent as you I'm rambling at the present It's it's all good. We all do it. It ain't no thing, man Because I love when um, just a quick little side note. I love when people When they be like, oh man, you're you're rambling so much man And it's like but those same people would be upset if We talked about something and there was like a two minute video They were like, oh man with no we wanted to be longer And it'd be like so you you can never so ramble on is my point talk all you want to because Like you said, you got your own thing that you do and it's you too So it's your two. So it's the way you want to do things And that's just fine. So ramble on my brother. Anyway, he said I hate to be the one to say it And though it is inevitable each and every year I said this earlier my biggest worries were injuries because I just seen how stacked this team Sadly was and still has the depth to work on and I guess it truly is next man up I guess I'm here to say I hate to think that I was the jinx. No such thing as jinx. So you ain't gotta worry about that Uh, but what can you realistically see for the rest of the season? I guess our true answer will be after the chiefs game that I will be attending for my first nfl game And last but not least this question is way too long and will never get uploaded And that's why I have my own show. I'll keep up the great work I literally watch you and four on those sports talk every day. If y'all left youtube, uh, then that's uh, Then that's my youtube funny looking out. I appreciate it, man. Um Yeah, this this game did let us know even despite all the injuries despite a lot of people being on iar Despite having a lot of people in my a and not being down in miami Um that the ravens they could still compete they can rock with anybody That they can still make some stuff happen All right And a lot of those guys that are out right now they're gonna be getting them back now a lot of those guys They won't be getting them back at all which sucks, but they will be getting a lot of the guys back Uh, so they have the possibility and potential to get even better next question came from my boy Jaquon He said what's up in graven? Hope all is well with you and the fam two things first I know the ravens and all the nfl teams try to have a short memory But it seems like with us beating the chiefs They are still celebrating the win instead of actually moving on to detroit. Do you think this will affect us? No Ravens are professionals. They they know. Oh, yeah celebrate against kansas city, but yeah, it's it's on a detroit They I didn't get this from any ravens players from any coaches from now. I got it from fans Which is understandable. We've been celebrating but as far as the players No, I'm not concerned about that at all He said second Is it just me or the chiefs seem like when we used to beat the old patriots like 2013 time? Brady Patriots seems like they're the new Patriots. Sorry for the long question Oh, trust me. That wasn't a long question at all. But yeah, it does It did seem like it man because against the Patriots Like ravens were just oh, they like couldn't they couldn't consistently beat them um And in in the playoff of course that playoff game Oh boy, and then with some of the calls that like remember when tom brady, uh, it was one time we played them I forgot what year was we went to overtime and um It was a game where a great game But then at the end Tom Brady was standing in the pocket getting ready to throw the ball. Um, he was looking at terrell sucks dove at him Terrell sucks barely grazed him tom brady looks at the refs And then the ref throw the flag and then tom brady's like yes It was oh my goodness. I remember back those are the days I just I I could not stand tom brady at all man could not stand the patriots could not stand tom brady for nothing Because it was like man, it just it was so annoying and so frustrating how things were just always somehow go their way um, and a lot of the softest stuff too, man, but um And then of course the whole the 2011 playoff game where it was just oh, that was just the worst man Worst ravens lost ever ever ever ever. Um, but yeah, they ended up the following year They ended up beating them and they had beat them in the playoffs before in uh What year was that where ray rice that first game? I mean that first play of the game was literally like a 80 r Touchdown run from ray rising flacco like completed like I think he completed like a crazy low amount of pass like Maybe like four or eight passes that something crazy. It was something crazy But he ain't had to throw the ball hardly at all. Uh, but the ravens ran away with it literally, um, but uh In 2012 in that year Where new england, they came to mnt bank stadium on sunday night football and the ravens beat them on that jesson tucker field goal Um, that was like wow, hold up. We we did this We we we we we did we did it We did it and then they had to see them again in the playoffs and it was like, oh We we we did it again So hopefully the same thing the same exact thing ends up happening Uh against the kansas city chief's next question came from a boy ollie. He said what's up in graven Hope all is well with you and yours. How much longer are we gonna continue to allow mark andrews to have big drops Hayden was trying to say this that his hands are better than marks a few years ago And since then mark has been good for a dropper to in key moments He was a non-fact in the raiders loss not blaming him for the loss, but he did have a drop um Well in the uh, this was obviously before the chief's game the chief's game He had a bounce back game. He had some good blocks had some very nice catches as well So mark andrews getting back into the groove of things. Yes in the chief's game, though He I mean in the raiders game. He did have that big drop in Over time and shout out to jonathan abram too for really just knocking it out And making a better play on the ball than mark andrews did Um, but hopefully hopefully hopefully hopefully that'll be a thing of the past. Hopefully Um, it's only been two games. So I can't say if he's in a rhythm or not. Um That that raiders game was just oof I mean the chief's game too. They're both super stressful games super stressful games So I could imagine like as stress out as I am or was as a fan It's obviously like 50 million times more because those guys are actually playing in the game So they they go into all the feelings like you're really going through all the feelings in the then um But with mark andrews again Hopefully this is this is something that just he can eliminate from his game And he can really show up in those big moments and and make those big time plays in those big time moments. So we have 15 more games to find out next question came from my god dawg and he said ain't graven I'm dawg and from maryland. I've been a ravens fan all my life And I remember the sudden stinging confusion of losing grind billik as our head coach Don't get me wrong. I love john harbour in the culture He has built with the ravens and will always love him and flakko for bringing us the lombardi trophy But I always have the lingering thought of what if billik had been able to stay around and work with a quarterback like flakko Ryan billik was an offensive genius who revived randall cunningham's career and ran an offense that was missed That was a miss gary anderson field go away from the super bowl Imagine what he could do uh with a talent like lamar jackson Not a bunch of castoffs and washed up veterans from other teams Sorry for the long question and gravy much love from the fold. I know and I hope god bless you and the family Have a go on my brother hashtag in lamar. I trust Oh So and and the subject of this was what would it take to bring brian billik back as an offensive coordinator now, you know Now, you know because even up until what like last year Brian billik he just even last year like he was doing commentary for like ravens preseason games And you could just hear that that salt and that pain in his voice when he spoke about the ravens He like man, this is This is the guy lost my job and that's tough That's tough Like you you even heard it. Um Was it dennis pitta? I think it was dennis pitta one time too when um He had to speak about lamar jackson and you could hear it in his voice Because you know flakko is his guy and you know, you could understand it like flakko That's his rider that that's the one who got him a bunch of money He got flakko a bunch of money flakko got him a bunch of money. They vice versa. They they helped each other so much So when he was speaking about lamar jackson, oh, you could hear it in his voice. It was like, oh pitta Um, so with that being said, I will not see brian billik coming back as anything for the ravens except the commentator um As an honorary something for a game or something like that, but just as a coordinator No, there's any type of coach for the no They're not gonna go back to him. Uh, hardball is not gonna have him on his staff I It just wouldn't happen next question came from my guy brandon f. He said a engraving I just read this article on boston.com which talks about our former cornerback Shawn wade And the article shawna's quoted saying that there are a lot of differences between the ravens and the patriots Like the coaches the system and the atmosphere Well, well, definitely there's this two completely different uh environments But he pointed out the major difference in how the patriots train and lift weights He was quoted saying in baltimore. They do single legs single arms and stuff like that Here you do a lot of legs you bench and things like that, but every day is definitely a leg day here I see they really want to work on your explosion here. That's the number one thing Our injuries like acl and achilles tears could be related to how our players lift and do leg workouts Could this be one of the reasons why we are having so many devastating injuries to our players? Do they need to develop more leg strength to prevent these problems? Just a thought I would like to hear your take on it. I link the article below. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it, Brandon um I don't even know because I think with this this end. I mean this season the injuries have just been on another level So I and I don't think I wouldn't anticipate like oh all of a sudden this year 2021 They just changed the their whole regime for working out I couldn't expect that but um I you you just you you really never know You know, you never know and um, I don't know what it's been But it's just been crazy next question came from my guy joshua. Hey, he said just saying secondary needs help Draft picks and maybe even some personnel and his question was should the ravens make a trade for cornerback xavian howard from the dolphins Dolphins did not trade in him. They literally literally just This offseason little before the season started. They signed him. They like reworked his contract So he ain't going away next question came from my guy harry. He said engraving hope all is well I'm in my first year of college and monday was my first time watching the ravens playing 10 years without my family by my side Had your live stream on and have to say it's gonna be that way for the rest of the fall I really appreciate your interaction and outreach for team keep it clean Look forward to watching more games Alongside your very entertaining reactions, man. I was getting hype with you after that anthony avid pick Appreciate it, man Anyway, I got a simple question in light of all these o-line issues Do you think via naiva deserves some more patience from our fan base given his position switch from blind side to right side tackle And now to left side tackle again And learning of a complicated run scheme system Man, I know he was horrible on money night football like physically paying for the watch But all I see on instagram is twitter where people calling for him to get benched to cut Even if that was the right move who would replace him. I think he'll turn it around What are your thoughts and he certainly did that? Against the chiefs on sunday night and yeah It's definitely a patience thing. It's gotta be a patience thing like what i've been saying with alihandro With the bad and with the good Because we had one really bad game from him and we had a really good game from him You want to see consistency? What is he going to be consistent at? Is he going to be consistent at being bad or is he going to be consistent at being good? You obviously wanted to be consistent at being good, but you got to give him a chance It's not every single game is not going to be like the first game and every single game is not going to be like the second Well, we hope that it will be like the second game, but In reality, it's not so we got to see which side he leans more toward The good or the bad next question came from my boy, steven He said yo, what's up in gravy and keep up the good work always keeping us updated And keeping us turned up in the last strings for these games Actually, my first year watching in season and haven't been disappointed But anyway, that chief's game is one that a lot will remember for a long time And that was probably one of the best all around called games that g wrote called at least in recent memory And i'm wondering not to look ahead because i want to take it week Week at a time, but i'm not counting out the broncos and the chargers Who i think defenses are pretty tough The ravens have a fairly light schedule leading into the buy Do you think we see giro completely vamp up this offense with bateman coming back in the near future? And i think he needs to find how to get duvenay involved and get this 2021 ravens team ready for the tough stretch After the buy uh in the war in january help you in the fam a good and he said ps I heard you tell somebody in live stream. Don't wait and just get an anthony avid jersey right now And you know what after that performance i'm getting it and i'm wearing it on my 23rd birthday All right, you go get that jersey man um But yeah, it's it's gonna be nice to see and nice to see exactly how giro uh Really ups this offense that much more because offense has actually been doing pretty good Without a rasha bateman Without not without a duvet even duvenay because he's been out there, but he hasn't really been involved in a in a uh in the uh as far as passing catches um and then also nick boyle And then also ronnie stanley So you got like a lot of guys that have just been out um, but those guys should be returning Any day now we'll see when but any day now they could be back Uh, so this is um, it's just something that's really exciting to think about that This offense has been doing pretty good and they didn't even got everybody out there next question came from my guy bb He said what's up fam hope all is good We all saw how good ali hanjo played at his natural position against the chiefs So do the ravens move big money ronnie stanley to a different position on the offensive line? Let me know your thoughts um That's that's one that i've been thinking about still been thinking about um We'll continue to think about until ronnie stanley comes back and see what the ravens do Uh, but we got to see how ali hondo continues to play. It's it's just It's something crazy. And I know some people have said, oh, no, it definitely could never happen No, ronnie stanley would be the left tackle and that's that um But you want to put your team in the best position to have success One thing could be moving ronnie stanley to right tackle You know, we feel like it's a small chance that they could do that But at the same time you never know Another thing could be keeping patrick mccarrie at right tackle and having ronnie stanley come back at left tackle Um, and then what happens for ali hondo via noiva? What do you do with him? He's moving the left guard, but you you have been powers and been cleveland who have been playing there They've been rotating. Do you put them back at right? Like what do you do like this? It's it's like It's it's a good problem to have I guess but um What we gotta wait for now is just to see how ali hondo continues to play Hopefully he makes the decision very hard because that would mean that he was playing very well in ronnie stanley's absence But I just I have no clue what they're gonna do I have I don't have any expectations for what they're gonna do because I just I don't know I really don't know next question came from a boy dominick. He said ain't great And hope all is well my question is do you think our past defense will improve throughout the season? We allowed 435 yards today are caught in 343 to my home. I know it's still early But if teams keep shredding us through the air the offense will have to do more to maintain Yes, you are right. Um, the past defense has been it's been a big yikes But we have gone up against some really good quarterbacks, but uh, hopefully they they improved that big time Um, it's so weird because the ravens they haven't been giving up many big plays through the air It's been a lot of small plays that just keep adding up and adding up and adding up and adding up and adding up And then boom, uh, you see all these yards from the quarterbacks. So The passing defense is going to have to they they ain't got no choice but to improve And again, it is still early. So even though like I know past defense they rank like super low right now. Um It's been two games So we can't really get a feel for who the ravens are yet right now I say after about like five six games, then we'll really know who they are Um, so we just week by week We got to see and hope that they continue to make smaller improvements Next question came from a boy how he said what's happening in graven on one of your recent videos You made the point that someone brought to your attention about the ravens outside linebacker rotation I've been felt that they rotate too many people at the position Meaning nobody can get into a groove or flow from the past russian standpoint when wing first years defensive coordinator 2018 He had a strong three-man rotation and suds judon and zodaria smith We had a lot of sacks that year the next year when edc took over sgm He put this big emphasis on analytics on the coaching staff And I believe that plays a huge part of this constant rotating with the players on both sides of the ball They even have analytics people in the coaches box during games. I could be overthinking Or you could be being over analytical a little analytics joking. Anyway, anyway, uh, he said I could be overthinking But that's the vibe that I get. What are your thoughts? It's a really good question. Um Analytics has uh Not taken over the game of football But it's made a huge impact on the game of football over the past couple of years because teams Have been looking at analytics now more than ever And I just feel like yeah looking at the numbers are cool looking at the probability of different stuff It's cool and whatnot the success rate the failure rate all that good stuff But sometimes you just got to play the game man. You just got to play the game I feel like if you just you get so caught up in the numbers with this and the numbers with that and oh What's the probability rate and what's the distance? Like you you you got to play situational football you got to look And everything can't just be put into numbers You got to take the eye test and actually look on the field look at the product Looked at the matchups look at all this stuff and be like, hey, do we have an opportunity to take advantage of this? Yeah, the numbers say this thing But let's look at how the game is going. It's just it's so many different factors And you could you could be like oh well numbers tell the story and all these different situations What's the probability of you converting a third and seven and the fourth quarter with 10 minutes left again? It's You just gotta it Numbers can't do everything man. At least in my opinion The analytics are cool and whatever but you you just you got to you got to know and and really like That's the best way to even explain this man because I just That's like somebody to me. That's like somebody um Who's a mathematician? It ain't nothing wrong with being a mathematician, but they uh They don't know anything about football like anything um At all like me. I don't hardly know anything But they really they don't know anything about football they have absolutely no knowledge of football whatsoever And then them I feel like that's them Calling a game of football if they just using the analytics and that's it Um, like they wouldn't have the the feel for the game like that And I feel like you you really got to have a feel for the game You can't just go base off of numbers this question came from a boy brandon v He said what's up in gravy and peace and blessings to you and your fan Thank you for the quality and consistent content After the win over the chiefs the narratives have been quiet for now lol Which is music to my ears Oh, that just means you ain't been listening to them because they're still there But he said my question is how much of an impact do you think bateman and boykin will add to the offense when they return from injured reserve? yet, that's um That's a really good question and with with uh boykin As a past catcher and a run blocker for sure man He he just brings that uh another level of physicality to the offense Uh in another weapon Another weapon Um, so it's gonna be nice to get him back healthy and fully ready to go and then of course with bateman That's your first round draft pick. So you got high hopes for that guy And you know that they're gonna really get him incorporated into the game too Um, so we're just looking forward to him as well The route running him just creating separation him making plays I know everybody's gonna go crazy on his first catch and then on his first touchdown catch They're gonna go even more wild. So I'm just um, I'm excited to see both of them Return of course nick Boyle as well and just everybody else is gonna be nice Uh, that when everybody comes back everybody that we have left comes back Because we lost a lot of people that they're not coming back, but um Seeing these guys back will be uh really really nice and the last question on this episode a question from subs This episode went kind of long. I know but y'all bear with me I just wanted to make sure we get caught up as we head into this Detroit game But anyway, he said uh, it came from my boy Jerome W And appreciate you being a patron till he said just saw this on facebook and thought I shared with you I've been watching football for 50 years I've seen a number of good and great quarterbacks in that time But it's now becoming apparent that we've got an all-time great in our huddle right now In my opinion, we've had many good ones or a morale Marty Domres Greg Landry, Vinny Tester Verde, Trent Dillford who helped us when Super Bowl Steve Mcnann, Joe Flacco to name a few but only three great ones The first one was the goat Johnny unites. Can you name anyone better ever? I didn't think so The second was Bert Jones injuries cut his career short But the 1977 NFL MVP was a winner in every way now We have Lamar Jackson the thing that separates the good and great from the best ever Is this one little thing the best ever had the ability to say we are not losing today and then went and made it happen They were able or are able to put the team on their backs and carry out carry the team the victory Johnny unites did it so many times. It was surprising when he didn't do it Virtually every teammate has said when John said we're going down to win this thing I was with him. He done it too many times to not believe in him or follow him Or prove me wrong And they did I saw more than a few times That's why he was and is the goat and you saw that on Sunday night And it was not the first time you saw Jackson put the team on his back and will it to victory He used his arm his legs and it's savvy to carry us to victory Now he does it differently than unites United's had one of the strongest arms in football along with pinpoint passing ability An iron wheel and the ability to read defense and call the perfect play or improvise on the fly There was no one better at calling a game Jackson's getting better with his arm But his legs and running ability are the best in the league But the thing that makes them so alike is the fact that they are leaders who refuse to lose Refuse to let their teammates lose and sometimes just carry the team to victory on their back After the early picks Lamar just brushed him off Another united straight and just found a way to win He used both his arms and legs to get it done and you could see and sense him doing it On that fourth down play to seal the win. You could imagine united saying the same thing You want to go for it Lamar? Oh, yeah John you want to go for it? Oh, yeah, we'll get it. In fact, he did More than once then everyone in the stadium the fans the Ravens even the chiefs knew he would be doing it himself Guess what? He did it by sheer force of will He was not losing Sunday night and he did not lose united said that so many times He was surprised when he didn't get it done. It's becoming that way with Lamar Earlier this year as he laid Dying in a hospital bed watching Lamar carry the victory to all the the Ravens to victory over Tennessee in the playoffs My dad turned to me after a big run and said son That boy playing qb for the Ravens. He is good as johnny unites. I replied not yet dad, but he's getting there He's got a good pedigree and played at the university level like johnny you so he might be Dad then relaxed and said good. He passed away the night before the buffalo game I thought that at the time it was his way to pass the torch to me But dad saw united's all during his career. He knew what a great quarterback looked like. He knew We do too now. We might just have gotten lucky again. Maybe we'll be putting up another statue In a few years. Whoa That was something right there. That was powerful and my god Jerome said he uh He uh saw that on facebook from somebody um well So, yeah with Lamar, um He certainly has been Certainly been amazing very been very impactful Um in a positive way for the Ravens and we just hope that that success continues We hope that he finds even greater success. We hope the team finds even greater success even more success Uh, but that is certainly true. He does definitely, uh, put the team on his back And wheels away. He may not doing it do it the traditional way that so many people want him to But he finds a way to get it done. Um, and that's Well, bam's right by any means necessary By any means necessary he finds a way to to help the Ravens win Um, and with Lamar like they they gonna they always got a chance They got Lamar. Shout out to pookie. But as long as they got Lamar, they they got a shot So, um, we we are very glad to have him on the team as Ravens fans and just hope they continue to do their thing
