I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Whoo. We got a lot of questions. Let's do it first question came from Heather I appreciate you being a patron. She said a engraving thanks for the positivity you bring each day Hope you and your family are doing well. We're doing pretty good. I appreciate that Heather She says so quick question when is G roll gonna open up the vault? I mean, I'm curious to see these top secret schemes he has and I believe it's time to open the treasure chest Thanks, I think we would all agree with you for sure. We've been waiting G and G roll. He's he's he opened up a little bit against the steel is a little bit But let's see what he's got in store Against the browns and against the pack like a if you ain't opened it up already When she did a tiny bit, you definitely had to crank that thing open ASAP with the games that we got coming up in the position that the Ravens find themselves in so it's time G Next question came from Clarence. He said is Lamar leaving the Ravens after his rookie contract I'm a die-hard Ravens fan, and I love Lamar, but the Ravens are not moving in Lamar's best interest Lamar will not sign the extension until the Ravens fire mr. Greg Roman and fix the old line Or Lamar is leaving the Ravens without signing the extension and he will be a free agent Lamar holds all the cards Do you think I am right? Well Lamar Jackson certainly has all the leverage in the world when it comes to his contract his contract talks Contract this because he look he could be like a Yeah, you you see that I've been I've been playing bad recently even though look look at what's around me and look at like Look at this look at this and I love man Somebody in a comment section made such a it was two people one of them was oh my god Don banks and every time he puts a comment I be thinking he yelling cuz he puts it in all caps like that But he put now lj's escape go he's hope for holding on to the ball too long Well, he's holding on to the ball too long because the scheme is the long ball And he's not seeing the check downs because his progressions are designed for the long routes while the pocket collapses around him So he takes a sack or tries to force the long ball because the plays are designed that way Now I was like wow that's that is a really good point And that's something that we've talked about a lot too with Greg Roman He gotta help out With the calling of the place it can't just be full verse all the time You you got to have some underneath stuff and they have but at the same time They have been some check downs and stuff that Lamar has missed along the way and some underneath stuff too But yeah, like I said my whole theory about the whole thing about Lamar just being broken right now I think just all the running around this whole season that he's been having to do I think it's just caught up with him mentally So it's it's sped up his clock in his mind and it's just things are just off right now And I do fully believe that he can get it fixed because we've seen Lamar do the great amazing stuff before But another thing that somebody else another point that they made I should have took a screenshot of this one too But they said that with Lamar right now this this slump that he's on right now They said it's just it's different because with Lamar and it's almost like he's been a victim of his own success Because we're so used to the extraordinary Lamar. We're so used to oh my goodness Lamar. How did he do that? That when he's been playing like he's been performing recently It's like what is this but it's like again He's been the victim of his own success because he's on like we put him on another pedestal Then we do for a lot of other quarterbacks But that that just happens when you accomplish so much in so little in such a short amount of time But anyway back to the question um I don't I don't see Him leaving after his rookie contract. Of course anything is possible until it's not possible anymore But I would not want to imagine that scenario Because oh Raven's fans would lose it. They would lose it We would lose it. Can you just say they gotta say we cuz I would lose it too um But Lamar he certainly does have the power Because yeah, he could tell them like look You you know what I can do You know what i'm capable of you already and even though i've been playing bad for this look at my resume This is not a normal thing for me. I don't normally play like this especially for this stretch So this offensive line y'all better get it right The receivers, I mean y'all y'all did better But offensive court every he could command them like that He has that power because without Lamar who it wouldn't be looking so pretty It really wouldn't so I don't think it gets to this to where he leaves after his rookie I don't think he's leaving at all. I don't see that again. Like I say anything's possible till it's not possible anymore but Raven's they yeah, they they do need to to fix this and again They can't control everybody getting hurt They can't control and like literally everybody got hurt this year everybody um, but Just moving forward especially the offensive line Because that's been the biggest weakness of this team It has to be fixed like ASAP and I know you can only do so much doing this Yes, I don't expect anything this year But this off season to really retool that thing and really just Build a wall build a unit that we ain't nobody even thinking about touching Lamar Oh, wow Y'all like team keeping clean be so in sync sometimes next question that came from my guy bb You said what if Lamar decides to move on from the Ravens after this season? Thanks for the channel fan and hashtag team keeping cleaning hashtag positive. Um, yeah We like we already talked about that now if he decided that he wanted to move on though That would be a whole another story. Um because he is on next year's the fifth year option And if he did oh boy, that would just break hearts like crazy and Again, we don't even want to think about that scenario. Like I said anything's possible till it's not possible anymore But Ravens they uh again like the previous guy said Claire's right Ravens gotta do right by him and they really like because It's been tough because before the whole the the argument was all man Ravens ain't really give Lamar receivers like that Then it's like, all right, so again receivers, but then oh Offensive line it just been it's just been garbage And you know depending on where you at with Lamar some people will view that as excuses for Lamar Oh, man, no first y'all talked about receivers now y'all talked about offensive line But with the offensive line and their receivers too it it was true It is very true. You can't operate With no offensive line that like a bad offensive line that shuts down everything immediately Um, but now you got receivers the receivers are legitimate and whatnot But the offensive line just been all kinds of bad Um, so you would hope that Lamar doesn't get to that again. I don't think he will at all. Um, you never know Do you think it's a long-standing problem that the ravens are all hard and no brains? Next question came from my god, Joshua. He said in raven. I appreciate you keeping it clean for the flock nation The team being eight and four is still impressive with all the adversity But i'm sensing that the organization as a whole values willpower over actual intelligence intact It seems from the coach to our gm to our coordinators to even the conditioning coaches the ravens just aren't a smart organization We don't make smart trades and signings. The coordinators don't adjust during the games Our cap situation is always sketchy and we are always injured Not to be overly negative But it seems like the organization has a whole lacks iq and important areas Holding them back from being the great team. We know they can be Wow this wow wow Wow Oh Do they value willpower over actual intelligence intact? Well, you know, this ravens team, they they love them some analytics They love them some analytics, but um From the coach to our gm. Well start start the gm start at the top um No, with eric the costa i uh man It's tricky and not like none of these guys are dumb. I don't think they're not dumb. Um, they're all very smart individuals uh, but to me Sometimes they misplace their value in my opinion, um and when with edc he Makes some good signings overall, um, he's more aggressive than ozzy um He has missed on a lot of signings to it. They haven't came through they've they've fallen through um but I just feel like there's been this extra value Put on draft picks. I know they love draft picks and draft picks You got to have draft picks. You got to build draft picks. You got to develop draft picks, but I feel like there's sometimes they're just too much emphasis placed on draft picks in my opinion um, and I just I feel like they could come up off of them a little bit more um In order to make that move for that guy who is proven and I felt the same way where ozzy knew some sometimes too Uh, like go back to the whole jail and ramsey thing They they could have had jail and ramsey, but they didn't want to come up off them draft picks Like they didn't want to they were willing to trade. I think the first and the fourth round draft pick But I think that it was a cow. I forgot who it was But they wanted the first and the third round drafting. They were like, nope. I don't want it Are we not going to do it? And it's been times other times too. We heard oh ravens. They they didn't want to give up all the draft picks it's like okay, um But He didn't see it. No, he's he's not he's still a good gm. He's a good gm That's just one thing that I just I disagree with sometimes with with the uh, how how much they really covet those draft picks um john hardball Oh john hardball uh willpower over actual intelligence intact um hardball can he can't have an ego sometimes we know that uh, and I think um Ah with hardball, I think It's fine when you talk about holding the team back from really being great I feel like sometimes the family ties they get in the way That's how I feel with uh with hardball because He'll with with the hireings the hireings that he'll do he'll bring in guys that are good enough Good enough to to do a job But not great enough to get it done in my opinion Because and he'll bring up bring on all these guys that he worked with in the past That he bit that he was with with the eagles, you know, like you you look up anybody that john hardball hired Uh, they all done been with the eagles. They all done work with him before some way form fashion Or they work with his brother It's either one or the other they either work with john hardball before or they work with his brother jim hardball It's always one of the two always And I feel like with that He hires guys that are comfortable that are well. Yeah, I know you but but guys that are not gonna get him out His comfort zone. So I feel like the ravens almost settle It's like they almost settle and and like a lot of times it just feels like that their potential Isn't all the way tapped um And then with uh with greg roman with greg roman um We know his history of course 49ers bills all that good stuff Uh, and I feel like with greg roman, um and and wink a lot of times throughout this year The the situation of football has been a big question mark for them Uh wink over the past couple of weeks has been a lot better greg roman. Um, it's been uh, it's it's been up and down It's just been very inconsistent and we know we don't expect the coach or coordinator We don't expect them to call a perfect game every game. No That's that's crazy talk for us to expect that but adjustments when it comes to adjustments. It's just It's been a lack. I feel like it's been a lack. Um, now he talked about Uh, our cap situation is always sketchy and we are always injured with the cap situation. Um, they they spend they they spend money a lot of times they uh Where most of their money goes usually it's into uh keeping their own it's in a to retaining their own Um, they recently given out contracts to marlin humphrey, uh to tayvon young to uh, to ronnie stanley Um So they've they've done a lot of keeping their own and you know la mar's contract has come and despite those Couple of first couple of questions that we got on this episode. Um, so it's it's on the way Uh, but again that yeah, they they keep their own or they just gave gust there was a contract It wasn't a big contract, but they gave gust it was a contract. Um, so as far as they're spending Yeah, they they they they spend to the cap pretty much every year Uh, now when you say the the cap situation is sketchy, um, I don't I don't really understand what you mean by that If you mean like oh, well ravens don't really had that much money. Um And they like for certain players and what not can you know, obviously certain players They cost more than other players because that's the cabin salary cap will be higher Uh, right they ravens could they could find their way around stuff like you can maneuver the cap You know, you can like I mean we see it all the time um But that's not something that they Really like to do like that Uh, they I think back in after after the superbowl year when they tried that and it just came crashing down They were like, you know, we're not doing that again And especially because over the past couple of years, they just got out of a lot of uh cap drama With but it I mean it's with the whole ray rice thing that was Yeah, and then with joe fleco when they traded him to the broncos. Well, that seemed like it was so long ago But when they traded him to the broncos, um They still had to eat some of his cap for his deal But they got out of that the following year after that, I believe but anyway, they um with the cap they they they spend to it Uh, but yeah, my my my thing is the uh, again my my my probably my gripes or whatever Things that I would disagree with like I said the how much they really covet those draft picks and The family ties when it comes to hirings um, but as far as uh Saying they just on a smart organization I don't know about that. I just feel like I do feel like some better more aggressive, uh more Team friendly moves could be made. Oh, how do you follow up that question? Anyway, next question came from my boy mac. He said angry when I just got finished watching this stressful stealers game And my anxiety is through the roof lol. I just got two quick questions I want your thoughts on my first question is why don't you think john harbaugh? Why didn't he trust wink enough to strategize a plan for overtime to get a stop and possibly win in overtime? Well, apparently um, well, obviously malahumford. He would he would have been out tay-tay was apparently just sick as a dog um, and so you would have jimmy smith anthony avert um robert jackson Uh, they probably I probably would have put brandon stevens that corner Um, and dropped gino stoner and chuck clark at safety So then you would have you would still have guys, uh, but I guess he Wanted to go with right then in there Uh, the offense since they hadn't been clicking much of the game even though they clicked on that last drive And they moved the ball downfield even though the mark he did throw that pick but thank goodness for that false Oh, that would have been an even uglier way to end the game. Oh, that would have been a much uglier way to end the game Um, but thank goodness whoever jumped jumped. I don't even remember who got the false start But so that negated that pick. Thank you um But I just I think he's just going with momentum and then since the bingles lost too He's like, okay bingles lost. All right, we straight even if we lose. Oh, we're still good. So That's that Uh, anyway, he said the second question is what do you think the biggest concern is going forward as we go through the remaining tough stretch Thanks for reading this and just like the ravens, uh for the ravens for the first three quarters of every game out Um Biggest concern going forward offense. This offense offense scoring offense Of the offense's consistency. Uh, just the offense has a hole next question came from t-dog. He said engraving. Let's be honest Our season is done. Well, your question is already null and void. It's that's false. It's not done They got five games left even though the team is looking like it's just a struggle The eight and four are in a good position season not done But let me finish your question He said Lamar's playing horrible O-line came blocked to save their lives wink won't stop blitzing and their injuries on top of injuries and on top of injuries If we make the playoffs, we're one and done call this an overreaction if you want But this is ugly. My question is if we do bounce back, how will we? By fixing everything that you just named Simple as that fixing everything that you just listed and everything that you just named you listed all the problems So you also listed all the answers next question came from a boy davin He said do you think our coaches have lost hope for us to make it to the playoffs? So they decided to keep babing as an unseen player for the most part until next year when everybody is back No, I I I would at least hope not but no, I don't I don't think that's the case. I just think um They are with sammy walkins being back. That's been a big factor The one that I forget about a lot of times when it comes to rachael babing in his playing time Um, but I think they may now be realizing like hey, he is a rookie So we can ease him in a bit more like when he first came back Again, I was so shocked at how many snaps he was playing. He was playing a lot from jump Um, but I I did forget about sammy walkins being out So when sammy walkins came back, that's the veteran and this is the veteran part of the season Not saying rachael can't step in and show out And I think he should get some more opportunity because that that dude is something nice, man Um, but I think they just relying on the veterans right now, especially in crunch time and whatnot Um, so I I think that's all it that it is I don't I don't think they're hiding them for next season because if they would do that That would not be smart if you were hiding him for next season That wouldn't be good. I don't think they're doing it question came from my guy Aiden he said ain't great. I hope you there's going well I just want to share my opinion on a two point conversion call I know you were against it, but I think it was the right call I was at the game Oh, that's why you afford because you you really wanted to shut up them stealers fans That's why you afford because you were there live, but now I hope you had fun, man I live in Pittsburgh as a Ravens fan and know the culture and stealers fans Hinesfield has a different type of environment. I can't explain unless you've experienced it yourself. No, never have If the stealers have momentum in that stadium, they can beat any team The Ravens scored on the last drive and took all the momentum away From the stealers and they tried to end the game so they couldn't get the momentum back If that game goes into overtime, the stealers are tj white sack or d yonte johnson 30 yard catch away from winning the game I could easily say the same thing about the Ravens The Ravens are interception or they are sack or force fumble or they are Lamar Jackson the hollywood touchdown assembly They are all that away from winning the game You could easily talk about both sides of it like yeah Anyway, he said it only takes one play to get that crowd going and it would only take one play to shut them up to He said I hate to say it But I wouldn't trust the team going into overtime and battling through the adversity Have you not been watching the Ravens this year? Did you all of a sudden forget about the minnesota vikings game? Did you all of a sudden forget about the indian outlets coast game? Did you all of a sudden forget about the red? Well, I know you want to forget about the raiders game because they lost but still This team has been in overtime and they've been in this down to the wire stuff too. Not just over They have faced so much adversity already So they know what it's like to deal with it. In fact, I think this team actually thrives off of it And I ain't saying that as no home or nothing The reason I say that is because when there's no adversity in the first three quarters three and a half quarters of the game They're just walking around Then as soon as that adversity hits late in the fourth quarter, that's when they start waking up So I that's why I think they really thrive and they enjoy all the drama in the adversity So I think they would have been just finding overtime. He said they battled through a lot this year and with the injuries I think our fuel is running out well agree to disagree Timing is everything next question came from I got bullet hrex lamar sense of urgency Angra even we all know lamar isn't playing like lamar jackson There could be many factors to why but like you said the sense of urgency just isn't there for this offense I think something has changed Uh, and that's that lamar got more patient when the pressure comes he steps out Oh, he steps inside of the pocket and tries to find a receiver downfield and a lot of times takes a sec He used to do a lot more as soon as he saw pressure He just took it and ran where a lot of his success came from Does lamar lack that sense of urgency where he realizes his pressure is there time to take off And could that be the answer to this slow and struggling? Oof that was an hd sneeze To this slow and struggling offense and they ain't even gonna edit that out This is exactly what kyler did on his russian touchdown. He saw the pressure and didn't think twice and just took off Um, see I think that is a part of it lamar. Maybe overthinking some stuff and not just playing football Um and also the the hero ball the big play stuff Uh, so I think that's definitely a part of it. He said also doing a two-point conversion attempt as soon as tj jumped instead of stepping off I think he would have found success if he took off to the right. Thanks for all the hard work You put in and keep doing your thing. They appreciate it man. Appreciate all the good questions over the years too Now lamar on a on the two-point conversion. He did a good job He did a great job on that play because tj white was literally in his face So he snapped the ball tj white is like tj white got snapped instead of the ball because he was right there Um, so lamar, he stepped in and did the throw did the little side on though Mark andrews. He slowed up a little bit, but though could have been better, but so go to the protection have been Uh, but again, it was a great play call. It was an amazing play call by the ravens. Um, but yeah, they just they couldn't execute um, so Well, yeah, I I do think it's a mix of all of those things. Um Because he yeah that he just I think second guessing Um, and just not playing instinctive football. That's how I would put it next question came from my boy an 20 He said angry with my question is if the ravens were to get rid of gregg roman Who else would be a good fit for the martin the ravens offense? Well, that's a really good question I would say uh keith Keith williams or t martin and the reason I would say one of those two is because Like they will be able to connect to the players Just on a whole another level. Um, they would also be be able to Understand what giro did well. Uh, they would be able to understand. All right. This is what worked for him in the running game Well in the years prior before we got here because everybody wasn't hurt But this is what worked well with giro and maybe this is didn't this is what didn't work so well So let's take that and let's incorporate our own stuff and sprinkle in some new stuff Because we've never been offensive coordinators in the nfl before so they would bring a fresh start also While bringing along some old stuff that was successful So I would say those one of those two next question came from long lee said a good morning Good evening graven with bateman signing with a new agent and speculations of him preparing to ask for a trade But hopefully not what do you think the ravens can do to satisfy bateman now? I um It was it was a little worrisome for me I remember when we first saw that I was like hold up the timing is just so weird um But I'm the same some people say that the this representation that he's under now. They also are They also signed a uh Are signed with or the agents of a couple of other ravens players as well Um, so hopefully it was just something where he saw a better opportunity maybe for endorsements Maybe for uh some promotional stuff. Maybe to just get him some extra bread on the side besides football Uh, I don't know so hopefully it ain't nothing crazy But what can they do to satisfy bateman? Uh, just keep him in a mix now next year if it's based off of everything that the way that this whole season has been Then I wouldn't expect sammy walkings to be back right now. We still got five games left But based off of the first 12, uh, I wouldn't expect sammy walkings to be back Um, not to say that he's been bad because he hasn't been bad, but he hasn't been like great Um, so I wouldn't expect him to return. So rashaul bateman's role would go way up Um, so that's that's that's a given Um, and this next part you said on the flip side Do you think we can do anything to keep him here in baltimore if he does ask for a trade? um Yeah, they would they would just say no Like and again, I don't think it'll get to that and like I said in the video when we talked about him hiring a new Agents, hopefully it's just nothing. Hopefully just ends up being a just a bunch of nothing um But all they would have to do is say no he'll be very unhappy, but and then you know, they will end up trading them anyway, um Because do you wouldn't just want to play it just sitting there not doing anything and you just he's just sitting there so He said i've already seen people commenting on his instagram post begging for him to stay This whole ordeal frightens me since rashaul was my favorite why receiver coming out of the college Just passed draft. I hope he only had an issue with his ex agent and not an issue with the team It's always thank you for all your input and consistent videos Hashtag teamkeeper clean appreciated. Yes. I I wouldn't worry about him I I wouldn't unless we hear a story this summer, but yeah other than that I wouldn't worry about it Next question came from jamie. You said i'm the louisiana raven. I hope you and the family doing well Being at the ravens are who we thought they were Faith in them to keep finding ways to win That said my question is do you believe we will make a deep playoff run and possibly a superbowl appearance It would maybe quiet some of the fire edc and fire g-roll and fire winking fire coach harsh people You play to win the game. Hello in my herm ewa's voice. We all could use a laugh Oh, yeah, you ain't lying about that. We could all always use a laugh. Um, I uh I think first and foremost they they got to get in and I guess I always say If you get in anything is possible Anything This team as frustrating as they have been Uh as stressful as they have been as dramatic as they have been they have shown like they can compete With just about anybody will accept the bangles in that that game was just not competitive Well in the second half but beside that, um They shown that they they they could fight They could fight as slow as their offenses be is that's what's so frustrating because it's like man We just imagine like man imagine if this offense actually scored some points in the first half of the game Imagine if this offense actually was even if it was field goals Even though touchdowns would be much better, but just even if it was field goal like imagine this offense being consistent You ain't gotta score every single drive. I mean, we would love that but you ain't gotta score every single drive just like once every two drives once every like something please and But they they don't do that So I just feel like if if they could get things clicking. Yeah, we know everybody and their moms is hurt But if they could get things clicking They got a shot They really do They got a shot If you can get lamar like feeling itself if we can get shades lamar if we can get Even a banana on the sideline lamar if we can get laughing on the sideline because he don't laugh no more Don't be laughing no more if we can get that happy lamar. Oh It would be scary for the rest of you I don't need it. Well, that's great. But why didn't great? shot
