 What's one really big change that could help Miles Boykin take his game to a whole other level? What would be your ideal move that you would want the Ravens to make? What area of Lamar Jackson's game does he need to progress at the most in order to really ascend to that next height? These and more on this episode of Questions From Subscribers. So YouTube team keeping clean what's going on is saying Raven here with another video another episode of NFL Questions From Subscribers and what this is is a series where you can ask me any NFL question you want to based off of any NFL team and we answer in a video just like this. Now if you ever want to be a part of NFL Questions From Subscribers and you can send me an email to teamkeepitclean at gmail.com and we'll answer your question in a video just like this. Now in today's episode we have a very special guest who a lot of you already familiar with but if you're not then it's time for you to get familiar with him. That is my guy keeping it right. Go ahead and let team keeping clean know about yourself for your YouTube channel what made you get started in YouTube just to hold nine tell him who you are and why you do what you do. All right what's going on team keep it clean it's keeping it real here you know with this whole YouTube thing kind of started like a couple years back. I remember around 2017 I was thinking of doing it myself for the most part but you know when it comes to like making videos the one thing you got to tell yourself is like you can do it and you got to be consistent with it. The first thing when you're starting off a channel is just putting yourself out there and like just making a video and at least letting it happen. That was one of the things I wasn't able to do back then but one you know like around 2018 you know that season coming up flakos last year Lamar's rookie season for some reason I just felt like you know what I've been having takes for like years regarding this team let me see how I feel about just putting out a video I've wanted to do it for years let me just get started and I just put out my first take wasn't my greatest take but you know your first take is always something special so by the way nobody go and look that up please do not just for the sake of me don't do that so now you're gonna make everybody go and look it up so you brought it up true that but um what would you say is probably your favorite thing about doing YouTube? My favorite thing is just the freedom for the most part you kind of dictate your own content like whatever you really want to do it's really up to you you know if you want to talk sports and that's what you're interested in you could talk sports if you like music and you want to base your channel based on that you can and the best part is there's like no limits so like if you want to do a mix of music sports gaming you can do all of that so that's the great part of it. That's a good point but now what would you say is your least favorite part about doing YouTube? Ah man I think all of us gotta say man those negative comments when they start to pile up they get you the one thing you gotta tell yourself is that you can't let those negative comments get to you and you kind of just gotta write it I feel like whenever you get negative comments you tell yourself you finally made it like you're here you finally made it people because people don't hate on you unless you're making progress or doing something great or working hard towards something you know if you're not doing anything in your choir people aren't gonna know if you put yourself out there people are definitely gonna know you so it's like hey put yourself out there but sometimes those comments man they can get to you and you gotta like calm yourself and be like you know what it's all in good fun hey that's what it is man so I appreciate you dropping them gems uh on us and team keep it clean so without further to do we got some questions to get into so let's do it all right the next question came from my guy cell and he said I ain't great and much love to your content I'm not a Ravens fan I'm actually a Cowboys fan but your content has made me pay much closer attention to them this past year and a half uh seeing the inconsistencies at times with Lamar Jackson's mechanics do you believe it is time to get Lamar some help in the off season with his footwork in the pocket and on the move to help show up his one downside he has shown at times uh being a Cowboys fan uh Dak Prescott has similar inconsistencies his first three years in the league and it wasn't until John Kittner came in and changed Dak Prescott's process and helped him um that we've seen him take off in the passing categories the last two years do you believe the same thing could happen for Lamar if a QB coach upgrade was made that's a really good question that's a load of question yeah yeah I would say um I will I would wait it out and I think a lot has to do with the scheme too um because of course yeah Lamar does have his issues here and there but I think a lot of it comes from being unsettled and being unsure and not being confident in whatever the Ravens may be doing on offense uh at that given point in time um sometimes he can appear uh flustered uh in the pocket sometimes he can appear uh frustrated in the pocket but again especially from this year from what we've seen a lot of it was due to just him not having much time in the pocket because offensive line it was rough like all year long um but I mean of course having somebody that can help you with your mechanics and all that stuff it can only help uh but I just I wouldn't not that he's not broken I don't want to say broken so to speak because I was gonna say you don't want to fix what's not broken but at the same time um you don't want this guy coaching him for this and this guy coaching this guy this guy you don't want all these different coaches and whatnot um so I would say let's see how this year goes with a hopefully upgraded offensive line and hopefully uh an upgraded upgraded passing plays like with uh Keith Martin and I mean excuse me T Martin and Keith Williams and and and let's go from there um and of course I'm sure he's still gonna work with uh Jacoby Harris who he's been working with for the longest um but let's see how things progress this year and then if there's still those same issues and they continue throughout the season then I may say okay but I would say let's see how things go what about you keeping it real yeah I definitely agree you know I've always preached this whole thing in terms of quarterback development it takes three to five years to get a full look at what a quarterback's abilities are and for that progression to happen we've heard from both my homes and the Russell Wilson that by year three they started putting it together but you know at the same time year three isn't where everybody puts it together you know sometimes it takes year four year five and the same could be said with Josh Allen by his third year he's put it together in his progression so from Lamar I'm I just want to give it one more year to see what he does plus I want to see what the team does in terms of schemes and in terms of what they added uh this actually goes back to one of the recent ones I think this is actually the last one that came out with um you Sutton and simply by the way shout out to them probably rain gang rain gang uh yeah you guys were talking about you know getting Lamar to a point where you know the Ravens giving him the keys to the offense and one thing you pointed out is like you want the Ravens to get to a point where they've given everything to Lamar and now we just got to see what Lamar does so I want to get to that point I want to see one more year of development from Lamar Jackson because we know he still needs some regression and I want to see the Ravens put him in the position to win when they give him the projection they give him you know at least one more weapon I don't think you need to have multiple weapons if you have one solid weapon alongside Hollywood Brown and Mark Andrews you'll be fine so they give him the pieces and we see him in an offense that's been built up hopefully our you know both our new coordinator our new passing coordinator our new receiving coaches hopefully they come in up in the clutch but you know I want to see all that come together and then if there's still some issues with his mechanics then we know this is Lamar himself and at that point the team can go and address that specifically by potentially getting him I don't think he needs it right now but we'll give you one more year to see where he is at that point. All right next question came from my boy of Philip L he said in your last video you were talking about if the Ravens don't sign a veteran then they will need to draft the receiver who is NFL ready within the first two rounds I have two in mind that draft analysts really ain't talking about and may drop today too first off Rashad Bateman from Minnesota he only played five games this junior year but in his sophomore year he had 1200 yards and 11 touchdowns yes that is um yeah we we definitely we did some research on him and yeah he he looks ready he looks the part uh and then he said Elijah Moore from Ole Miss he had 1200 yards and eight touchdowns last year what are you heard of this guy huh yeah I heard of this guy Elijah Moore yeah he looks ready for the most part you know he definitely has that catching ability for the most part that we're definitely looking for so I can see why they would point to him as well and you know what and speaking of him too I know that's the guy uh that Hollywood actually recommended too Hollywood said hey he's next up because uh when I asked him that day about do you have anybody that uh that Ravens or not even just Ravens but the NFL should be looking out for and that was the guy who he mentioned Elijah Moore so we'll see if uh Phillip if these uh come to fruition or or you know they're gonna come to fruition but where will they come to fruition that will it be with the Ravens or will it be somewhere else we'll see we'll see my next question came from my guy Rainmaker he said engraving hope you and the family are doing well I have a question for you I was watching Keith Williams interview with Garrett Downing earlier and he was talking about helping guys with talent reach that certain mentality that goes along with the talent do you think besides scheme that's what Boykin needs a change in mentality maybe more aggressive but not disrespectful attitude or being more vocal about what he wants as far as getting opportunities to help this team as a receiver besides blocking because closed mouth don't get fed just wondering if you think that's his problem and if T and Keith can bring that out of looking forward to seeing what you think ooh that I love this question man it's a good question uh you want to get started I mean if it's about Boykin I could go on forever but I'm gonna let you I'm gonna let you start it off all right so when we talked about the scheme for the most part we've kind of already discussed saying that the scheme itself kind of holds back our receivers in some cases because it's more built towards the running game in the passing scheme specifically isn't as complicated but you know it's still something that there's problems there so I could see some of the issues with Boykin however from a mentality standpoint if that's an issue oh I believe that can definitely be something that if it's improved on it could definitely be something big for Boykin and it's actually something that I feel like we saw towards the second half of the season because Des Bryant that's something we talked about Des Bryant coming in and just being that veteran receiver all of a sudden we saw this mentality when Byles Boykin kind of shipped where he was being more aggressive and you started seeing him make more of an impact on the offense that's why he started to produce more it was that mentality that he brought in and a lot of people would attribute that to Des Bryant because of his veteran leadership and his ability as well and how he was in his career so he understands what it takes to be that top receiver and has that mentality to try and be more vocal in the offense so I believe if that's more of the case for Myles Boykin then yeah mentality standpoint oh man it would definitely help out Boykin if he's more vocal in the offense if he can just take whatever we saw from Des Bryant and whatever lessons he was able to teach these guys if he can bother that up and come back with that as well as continue to work and we'll see what happens with this new passing scheme we may see then I believe Boykin could be something great I'll definitely say mentality could definitely be a big part and what would help Myles Boykin take his game to the next level yeah I agree man because Myles Boykin again the physical tools are there man it ain't no question about the physical tools again six four big guy big frame um he obviously got physicality to him because he wouldn't have such high praise for his blocking if he wasn't a physical type of wide receiver so now I think one thing that's just lacking is the opportunities but how do you earn those opportunities well it starts off in practice obviously practice you you got to show yourself in practice and then when it comes to Myles Boykin since he in the passing game on the actual in the actual games since he got so few opportunities then when you do get opportunities you got to pretty much be almost perfect you got to know which plays you and Lamar got to be on the same page because we saw a lot of times last year they weren't they weren't on the same page and they weren't even in the same book um they were just it was way off so that that can't be an issue um and then you got to get the opportunities too uh the passes have to come your way and you got to make the most of it so with with all that being said with Myles Boykin there's been John Hubbell talked about it today in the presser he talked about one thing that the Ravens are not gonna do and hopefully they don't do it I know they had that great experiment with Darren Waller everybody talks about Darren Waller um even though he it didn't work out here it worked out uh with the Ravens it started to work out here a little bit um but then of course we already know the story with Darren Waller so we ain't got to get into that but um with Myles Boykin a lot of people want him to switch to tight end but John Hubbell again this wasn't the first time that he shut it down but again in the presser he said no Myles Boykin is not switching to tight end he's ran some ran some routes that tight ends run but he's not going to be a tight end and I don't want the Ravens to switch him to tight end I want the Ravens to really try to make this thing work for Myles Boykin at wide receiver uh but with the mentality yeah that that's big because you could be really good at something but if you are just sitting there and like he said in the question um he said from Myles Boykin he doesn't have to be disrespectful anything but just speak up a little bit more yeah um so this is why it's important that when he does get those opportunities the few opportunities that he's gotten he got to make the most of it because if you're not making the most of it when you do get opportunities if they're not coming away that much if you speak up people are not going to take you that seriously they're going to be like oh you're just talking but look when we through that pass you dropped it when you were supposed to run this route you ran that route and it was all wrong so no we ain't going to take him seriously that's why he got to be on point like in every aspect because if you are going to talk to talk you got to make sure that you can walk the walk too yeah so I'm really hoping that with the uh with Keith Williams and with T Martin that they can have that big enough impact on the Ravens and on their receivers and I know they talked about how um I believe it was for Keith Williams that he's going to be working on the route running not just with the receivers but with the tight ends and also with the running backs too um so his impact that so he's going to be really the sort of the overseer of the route running from everybody so hopefully um Boykin can just really show himself up in this offseason and then another thing too is that we actually are going to have an offseason of course last year with the whole pandemic that messed everything up so it was an abnormal offseason but this year should be a little closer to normal it's not going to be exactly normal because I mean they already having the uh the pre-draft visits and stuff but they all got to be virtually so that's super weird but um I'm hoping that Boykin just really takes advantage of everything and it doesn't just end up being just a good blocker we don't that's cool that's a really great attribute but we don't if you're a receiver that should be something that people talk about with you uh second or third that shouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind like oh okay how about this receiver oh well he's a great blocker no he's not an offensive lineman he's not a fullback he's not even a second string tight end he's a wide receiver so if people talking about you as a wide receiver they need oh he he's fast he got great hands he could jump like crazy he had cashed in favor that that's what they need to be talking about definitely definitely again Miles Boykin takes whatever opportunity he's given and hopefully he's given some decent opportunity but of course again it all starts in the offseason it starts in practice and all that it's going to start in training camp so hopefully he shows out enough and he can get that opportunity to where he can take his game to the next level and be and and hopefully we're not even having this wide receiver talk during or even after this season yeah these guys we'll see what they can do in the offseason of DuVernay and crochet I feel like this offseason can definitely help them out because they didn't really have an off season last year and I feel like that was a big part of why they weren't able to get integrated into the offense with the new scheme he got two new guys coming in that's definitely going to be working with these guys hopefully they take advantage of this offseason and we never have to really discuss this whole receiver thing now we can build up our receivers and develop them well so we'll see what happens next question came from my guy Alex B he said do you think that we need AJ Green and Antonio Brown or Lamar Jackson I think we need a veteran at wide receiver because our wide receivers are young and Antonio Brown and AJ Green would help out these are two wide receivers and two better receivers those are two powerful names right there and actually this is not I don't think the Ravens will sign would sign both of them I mean I don't think they're going to sign Antonio Brown at all I wouldn't mind if they did but I don't think they will but um with these two names that they're both actually very affordable man these are the guys that Ravens will be able to pay um but I just no I don't think you need all that I wouldn't be mad if the Ravens did that but at the same time I just say I would just say one guy one guy's significance veteran guy um I know that there was that rumor that AJ Green said that he ain't want to come to the rat birds I haven't seen it officially for myself I don't know if did you see it no I didn't even know that I heard about it but I haven't seen it so I'm not putting it out there like it's actual fact I heard about it though um but I mean we'll see because I still could see AJ Green I could see the Ravens signing like AJ Green um but um AJ Green and AB I just I don't see that happening what about you yeah I don't see that happening um I could see them potentially signing one I don't see them signing both even though they could afford both I just don't see it I feel like this team for the most part they they could use one veteran receiver I think that's all we would really need to get in terms of free agency one veteran receiver so I wouldn't mind if it was either AJ Green or Antonio Brown but for the most part I'm not sure the Ravens are looking to get either of those guys but if they were I'm I don't mind them getting either or but it would have to be one I just don't see them getting like both so you'd have to be one next question came from my boy Sahaj P he said engraving do you think hubs is on a hot seat I mean his team has been a consistent playoff team the past three years and only got one playoff win one of those years he had the MVP at QB if we really look at it he hasn't done much since we won a Super Bowl we're two and four in the postseason since then I feel as though his team just isn't ready to play in the postseason we're just holding meaningless playoff spots all right not not saying how it should be five uh but he should be looked at also your favorite receiver might be might be missed but I'm taking Megatron oh oh I think he meant the right mouse he said also your favorite receiver might be mouse but I'm taking Megatron over any receiver all day now I'm still taking my money I mean Megatron was nice Kevin Johnson was nice but yeah most I mean you can't go wrong with either one but um hubs on a hot seat and he said we just hold in meaningless playoff spots but the the I think the most important part that he said was that I feel as though this team just isn't ready to play in the postseason um Ravens Day it's like right now Ravens are at the point where and it was especially this after last year or going into this past season where you almost you have this confidence about the Ravens like oh yeah regular season not worried about them I ain't worried about what they're gonna do in the regular season no they're gonna take care of business in the regular season they're gonna have some hiccups here and there but the postseason that's where all the sort of fear and the worry comes in like what are they gonna do then how are they gonna act there what's gonna go down in the playoffs um but as far as John Harbaugh on the hot seat I don't think he is right now I I don't think he is right now but if the offense isn't picked up in my opinion by like midseason maybe even before midseason but if the offense isn't clicking and it isn't going and it's not advancing and if they fight if they fire Greg Roman then I think John Harbaugh will be on the hot seat because it'll be like hey this was your guy this is a guy who brought in and he had a vision and he executed that vision and now hey it's this ain't working you held on to him even after last year which we understood and whatnot but hey if you want to let him go we see a problem here we see a consistent problem all these offensive coordinators they just keep coming and going we always complain about the offense this the offense that even though recently over the past couple years it's been different complaints which is a good thing because offense has been better it's been a lot better than what we were used to from years ago but now now the complaint so it's different complaints now which I do appreciate that advancement as a Ravens fan because before it was a complaint about like the whole thing but now it's just strictly the passing game and we're wondering if it's gonna take that that next step for but with John Harbaugh I think that he would only be on the hot seat if Greg Roman were to get fired because then all eyes would be on him maybe and they'd be like hey Harbaugh you gotta fix this what about you I definitely agree with your take for the most part right now I don't believe he's on the hot seat you know it we've kind of gotten to this feeling especially with Lamar being our quarterback since we haven't missed the playoffs once in the three years he's been you know our guys so like we got this feeling that this team's gonna get to the playoffs no matter what they have to face but when you get to the playoffs that's where the real test begins and so far the Ravens have failed those tests you know this team hasn't looked ready to play in any of the four playoff games they've played in the last three years even the one against the Titans yeah that was a spectacular win but you're down by 10 early on teams not connecting everything's not going well it's good that they were able to come together for the first time in a couple years but they weren't ready to go so like there's definitely a big worry for John Harbaugh coming into this season not in terms of his job but more in terms of well what are you going to do in terms of getting them ready if you're back in the postseason I definitely agree if we get into this season and halfway through the offense hasn't made any advancements it still seems the same we're still seeing struggles in the passing game and they come to the decision to fire Greg Roman then yeah he'll definitely be on the hot seat but one thing I'll definitely add is if he gets into the playoffs despite that because I still feel that even if Greg Roman was gone they'd probably still make the playoffs just based on the way the team's able to perform they'll come together if he gets into the playoffs and we see a similar performance that we saw in last playoffs specifically with the special teams because that's one thing we don't really talk about much the special teams against the bills were awful and that is his specialty that is what he was doing that was what he was doing in Philadelphia he brought that over here special teams is always supposed to be great under John Harbaugh they were awful against the bills if they get into the playoffs and they're that bad again they may seriously consider firing him all right next question came from my guy William H he said hey brother first off congrats on having Hollywood on the live stream and you're amazing always look forward to all your videos lol appreciate it he said but my question is what would be your ideal move that you would want the Ravens to make love you brother and hope you and the family are doing well so we start off for you so keep it real what would be an ideal move that you would want the Ravens to make and whether i mean whether some crazy or whether some whatever you want all right so i'll just say based on let's say realistically and then what i would want hopefully ideally okay on an ideal standpoint man a move would to be go out and just get a top receiver like i won i wanted Julio Jones for the longest time if you can get Julio Jones the Baltimore that would definitely be a move i would want to see because you pardon up Lamar Jackson with Julio Jones that just that catch radius the physicality everything Julio Jones brings to the table that's going to do so much for Lamar's game getting him a receiver like that would be a dream but realistically a move i want to see them make well considering the fact that we're getting into free agency and a lot of us do not believe that judon and engaak we're coming back i would say make a move to go out and get a pass rusher if you're not going to sign either of those guys or tag them then go out and address that specific issue i know we want to focus on trying to get a receiver but you can't forget we don't really have a pass rush it's we've had a solid pass rush within gakway and judon but if you lose both you have no pass rush and that'll be a major weakness on our defense so if we were to lose both of them go out and get a pass rusher i know we're on this whole thing with this offseason focus on the offense definitely but if they're not going to retain either one of these guys go out and get a pass rusher so that would definitely be my more more realistic one and one i would want to see most other than that try and see if you could fix this offensive line probably goes and if you can get an offensive lineman i believe there is one right now in free agency or someone that's going to not be franchise tagged so if you could go out and get him or try to pull off a trade for an offensive lineman it would definitely be great but yeah if you're not keeping judon or engaak we realistically address that in free agency yeah that's a good point because uh yeah all all of our pass rushers are all free agents well except for sec daddy uh but because judon and gakway bowser um dereg wolf uh gi how ward pernell mcfee everybody they're all there oh we have a lot of people they got a long long list of players that's hidden free agency so yeah those will be some smart moves all right the next question the last question on this episode of questions from subscribers featuring my guy keeping it real uh it is from justin c he said hey what's up engraving it's justin he are hoping all is well with you and the family i've been listening to tons of opinions on the ravens from coaching to play on the field to gm moves and one thing that i haven't heard much of is what lamar's biggest area of improvement needs to be i started thinking of this due to comments i've heard about lamar won't throw the 50-50 ball he doesn't call audibles he needs a true number one receiver etc while these may all be factors i'm reminded that lamar has an incredibly high football iq and then i started thinking about the elementary play calling he gets from g-roll and i came up with two things one lamar needs to progress as a risk taker and decision maker on the field and command more in the huddle and locker room in terms of traditional ray louis kind of accountability because he has all the skills and all the talent to be a tom brady or better all right so that's number one we'll start with that because he got some more so he said that lamar he needs to progress as a risk taker and a decision maker on the field and command more control in the huddle in the locker room i i love that and i agree i know with lamar jackson ever since his rookie year he's been very very he's very cautious with the football i know his rookie year with all the fumbles that that was as far as throwing he doesn't throw like many risky passes or there would be some passes he'd be like man how do you do that you like turn and then do some crazy stuff like that but with lamar he's very careful with where he throws the ball to and i know my god jt here he had pointed out to me uh a little while back that lamar he'll take another step forward when he starts uh throwing when he starts uh throwing to nfl open wide receivers instead of college open wide receivers and what and what he meant by that is that nfl open is a lot different than college open because college open there could be so much separation but nfl they'll be open but the separation it won't be as crazy as it might be in college anything like that because this is guys on a whole another level so if lamar start doing that a lot more then it'll take his game to a whole another level um so i i do agree with that because at the end of the 5050 ball too like given those guys it's now he does throw that with mark andrews but with everybody else no and will he sneeze sometimes too but most of the time no mark andrews he gets them but the other receivers no not really um so yeah for that first part yeah i i agree with that and the decision making too even with decision even deciding just to take a check then instead of um you know what i want the big play no just take what's right in front of you you ain't got to get everything on every down uh you could get the little bits and bits and pieces and chunks of it and whatnot because it could be a running back in a flat second be running back right in front of him and a lot of times lamar will he'll still be looking downfield not that there's anything necessarily wrong with continuing to look downfield but you still got those check down options in your back pocket so what do you think about this first part about lamar uh really progressing as a risk taker a decision maker and also getting more command of the uh the huddle uh and more command of the locker room too i love it i completely agree with the take um one thing i do remember seeing when i look at his film in louisville is he was more willing to take those risks downfield and throw those 50-50 balls and i feel much of that has to deal with the chemistry he built up with those guys during his time there and you know he kind of pointed out with mark andrews he's willing to take those risks with andrews and i feel like that's because they have such great chemistry that he feels that i can take that risk andrews is going to go up and catch the football and in some cases we we see that with uh hollywood brown where sometimes he'll take a risk he shouldn't and try to force the ball to him so if he definitely you know works on in kind of just taking those risks more it would definitely improve his game but at the same time you got to build that chemistry up and i think once he's able to build that chemistry up with these receivers we'll see lamar take those shots more often as for taking check downs that is something he absolutely needs to add to his game because a lot of times we're looking at lamar he's looking for the big play downfield and i understand you know the big play is what lamar loves to do with a big part of his game but sometimes if you look downfield you don't see nothing there first target not there second target not there the check downs right there just take it you know it's just right there that's why i check down there for a reason you can just get extra yards that's that's usually smart play you know if nothing's open downfield take it and there are times where lamar will take it if nothing's open but right now his instinct is more of look downfield try to extend the play if nothing's there i'm going to take off i would love to have him add on to okay nothing's there i don't necessarily need to take off i have a check down right here let me hit Gus Edwards or let me hit jk dobman's more and get them involved and let them take it for extra yards so i definitely love to get that happening as for more control of the offense i definitely want to see that we've talked about lamar jackson being able to audible and do that in the huddle for the most part and greg roman doesn't really allow him to do that nearly as much if they can add that to that that would definitely be great just him being able to make adjustments at the line of scrimmage and have more control will definitely help not only improve his game but would just help communication in general for the entire offense so i definitely agree oh i love it and that a second part of the same question he said from the gm to the coaches there needs to be more involvement of lamar since we are forging such a revolutionary and indefensible offense we need to have more input and influence from the most indefensible and revolutionary player in the league just like how some quarterbacks have influence on who their teammates will be as we saw lead to one lead one to a superbowl just saying talking about tim brady of course yeah sorry for the for the long win but i wanted to give a little backstop but my question oh that wasn't even a question this whole time i thought that was a question already but he said but my question is what do you feel is the most important thing that lamar needs to either progress in as a leader or quarterback or is the most important thing that needs to happen for lamar as a leader or quarterback hope to hear your thoughts on this and as always thank you for making great content and go ravens now um i know timing is everything he sent this question on uh march 2nd but today is march 9th and today was the day that uh eric acosta and john hall but in john hall ball's pressor specifically he talked about that with lamar lamar has an impact on some decisions that the uh that the team makes as far as uh the personnel and whatnot so what you were asking in this question it pertains to that a little bit um but as far as the actual question what do i feel like is the most important thing that lamar needs to progress in as a leader or quarterback um for that part i uh for as far as a leader i would say and i don't know if he doesn't make he may do it offline we'll never know but i would say uh calling guys out when they're wrong and what i mean by that and not in no disrespectful way i don't know controversial way but just in a hey man and man whether it's during the game whether it's a practice wherever it may be hey you ran the wrong route that no that's not what you were supposed to do don't just get frustrated to be like and i know you're frustrated and you could see it when he does that little thing and he get all upset and whatnot but let them know what they did wrong and i think sometimes we do see him do that because they'll be showing the uh the little broadcast view and there may be the time where he might have thrown an incompletion or something or he threw it one way but the receiver went the other way uh and then he'll be talking to them and be like oh you should have done this but continue to do that and build on that and just don't be afraid to approach anybody when they do something wrong and also continue to be approachable when you do something wrong too um so and we know that he he definitely takes accountability of what he does wrong uh we hear him in the press conferences something goes wrong he'd be like hey that's on me he never puts he never throws anybody under the bus and that's a sign of a really really good not just great teammate when you'd be like oh no that was on me or you you you use the word we or he actually used the word i a lot too when it comes to victories and stuff and good stuff a lot of time he says we but when it comes to bad stuff a lot of time he says i um so that's just something about lamar and and as far as the most important thing that needs to happen for lamar as a leader or quarterback um i'll say as a quarterback again just the ravens to where they they give him no excuses they really showed hey we gave you the best of the best that we could possibly get there you go so what about you what what do you feel is the most important thing that lamar needs to do to progress as a leader or quarterback or what needs to happen for him uh the most as a leader or quarterback i'll definitely say as a quarterback i'll just double down on what i said just kind of in terms of the progression in utilizing your check downs and more so gaining more control of the offense i'll definitely say as a quarterback if he can improve on that that would definitely take him to the next level yeah at the same time i do agree let the ravens put this man in a situation where he has no excuses because if they put him in a situation where he has no excuses that is the best way to test lamar jackson you were telling him this is all on you i need you to make that improvement and as a quarterback if he can gain control of the offense and most importantly be able to utilize his check downs utilize the entire field if nothing's open i got check downs i got other guys get them more involved than that would definitely be the progression i want to see as a quarterback as a leader i gotta agree man hold these guys responsible they're professionals as well when you do make a mistake the quarterback's gotta be willing to talk to them you don't have to be disrespectful say amen you missed the route right there amen no i need that was a slam you're running the wrong route just come on them one on one talk to them man demand amen you made a mistake here this is what you need to do this is what you need to do and that is something that can definitely help because now lamar as he enters year four he's starting to become a veteran and as a veteran you start to get those you know that leadership skills that you have to continue to build there are gonna be young guys coming in especially with the offense we'll see in the draft which you may get a receiver coming in you have to be able to build that relationship because if you can build that relationship with saying yeah you missed this route here do this if you can build that relationship with that receiver that builds chemistry and trust because now that receiver knows my quarterback is seeing i'm making mistakes here i gotta step my game up so that we're on the same page so with that leadership if he can get more involved and more vocal towards you know pointing out the mistakes the receivers are on so that they don't make those mistakes and both the quarterback and the receivers are on the same page then lamar will definitely improve more as a leader you know he already has the humbleness every time they win it's we every time we lose his eye you know he he's just got he's just a humble guy and he's always willing to take responsibility for the team's performance as a whole so i would say he definitely has great leadership skills now but that would definitely be one to take it to the next level in terms of getting more vocal more personal with these receivers and getting them on the same page as you because now that's what veterans do you see that a lot of time throughout history with a lot of veteran quarterbacks man Peyton Manning was never afraid to talk to his receivers when they're wrong tom brady is never afraid when you're not on the same page as him so if you want to be one of those great quarterbacks start talking with your receivers especially the young guys to get them on the same page as you because that tells the receiver that his quarterback is paying attention to him he trusts me i have to get to that same level and play so we're on the same page and that i never miss a player i'm never wrong on the route and we're clicking on the same page so yeah definitely as a quarterback progress and being able to utilize the entire field get your check downs above more as a leader get more vocal with your receivers and get them on the same page as you
