I appreciate it And if you don't that's fine, too. No issues. No worries. No problems We got some great questions as we always do and the first one it comes from me So like I said the very first question on this episode came from yours truly And it is a question to all Ravens fans about somebody who used to actually be a Raven one Zadaria Smith ooh the one that got away and the question is should the Ravens if The Packers do end up releasing him because you know it's the season of emojis and the eyes and scrubbing everything off your Instagram That's the reason for the season because free agency is around the corner and Zadaria Smith he wiped all his pack of stuff off last time he did this was when he was with the Ravens and he Wiped all his Raven stuff off when he was getting ready to make that transition in the free agency We knew he was gonna be a free agent. He knew he was gonna be a free agent We knew the Ravens weren't gonna sign him Ravens didn't resign him And then he ended up going to the Packers and oh and we watch him in that Packers uniform We saw him go off. We watched him do his thing and it was like man Even though we knew that the Ravens were not gonna resign them Still wanted them to hope they did but we just knew but should the Ravens Bring back an old friend bring back somebody who did his thing Especially in his last year when he got more and more playing time now Should they I think that they should I don't think they will but I think that they should now One of the reasons that I feel like they should Why not? He missed most of last season. I forgot what the injury was but he missed the majority of last year So the Packers they got to see what life was like without Zadaria Smith And they did pretty good now, of course, they could have been even better with a Zadaria Smith But they got to see what life is like without him and it had been widely speculated or it has been widely speculated That he will be a cap casualty So one thing you know about these Ravens. They love their compensatory picks. Whoo They loved them complex and some of them complex have worked out Some of the compics have not worked out, but either way they love the complex because it's an extra pick And it's it's based off of a player that went out somewhere else and got a nice deal and You ended up getting a pick in return for that player signing a deal elsewhere now On the reverse side the flip side of the compic formula If you sign a player in the in a certain time period in the beginning of free agency from another team Then that will go against any compics that you could get So but this is why it's a Darius myth if he does end up being cut by the Green Bay Packers He wouldn't count against the compic formula. Oh, it would be such a sweet thing now One thing that I think will go against the Ravens in my opinion money money I Think that that would literally be the only thing That will stop this thing from happening would be money Because We know he certainly knows but we know that's a Darius myth Even if the Ravens were interested in having just Reuniting him with the team and shout out to Patrick Queen because a Darius myth He put his little eyes emojis up yesterday then Patrick Queen he quote tweeted that then Marlon Humphrey He quote tweeted that and it just started going all around Raven's flock on Twitter Everybody was like ooh just thinking about it. They'll be nice but The thing was a Darius myth He knows like at like we all do that he could get much more money elsewhere other than the Ravens and I Wouldn't be mad at that and it's the same way with Bradley Bozeman I feel too and I think that's that's gonna be the one where again a lot of Ravens fans one They would they want to resign Bradley, but we would all love for Bradley Bozeman Bozeman to resign, but I Don't think it's happening. But anyway, we can talk about Bradley Bozeman later, but what's a Darius myth man Darius myth We haven't got to see this scheme yet because we have a new defensive coordinator, but It's expected that he is going to let his past rushes be past rushes So they're gonna get a significant a real opportunity to actually rush to pass it So before like when you would think about it think about a free agent past Russia Coming to the Ravens. You may be like, uh, it will be great to have him. It'd be nice to have him but How good will he be in our scheme? How much will he really eat in our scheme and one thing that we tend to think about or me myself personally is Can he overcome this scheme because for some past rushes that you ain't gonna just be able to just rush to pass and that's it You're gonna be dropping back You're gonna be doing quite a few different things and we know like with the Ravens they love that it seems like with their edge guys The first the first priority You got to be able to stop the run That's the first priority If you can stop the run. Hey, we love you already That's that's what Ravens M. Oh has been when it's come to their past rush or the edge guys at edge guys And then I think second is rushing a passer That's what it seemed like. That's why we're unique in God quay. He was not a good run stopper. It was not a good fit and Then he talked about he talked about with the scheme too But we ain't got to get into that but was the Darius Smith if the if it could happen. It would be great It'd be lovely. It will be a nice welcome home and then that would allow Tyus bow they do play different positions, but it would allow Tyus Bowser to Hey, Tyus, take your time. Even though, you know, Tyus is thinking, you know, he got he got to be thinking in the back his mind like man, I I got to get back out there quick because I know the NFL stands for not for long and Hey, if there's somebody out like like think about this scenario with Tyus Bowser If he's not ready by the beginning of the season, I don't expect him to be but maybe if he hits up the doctor that came Acres got who knows but if he's not ready by the beginning of the season worst-case scenario for him Ravens will obviously have to look to replace him have somebody ready Just in case Tyus Bowser is not and you know, you know It's so crazy is that the it's a possibility that as bad as this season was when it comes to injuries It can impact next season to it has a possibility of impacting next season to This season was so nasty when it come to everybody getting hurt but With Tyus Bowser, he got to be thinking like man, I don't want nobody taking no food off of my plate. I Don't want nobody taking my spot Because it's happened before and it's gonna happen again Not just even talking about Tyus Bowser, but that is life in the NFL. What injuries do? They take away somebody's opportunity and they also provide somebody else an opportunity That's how so many spots get taken. That's that's usually how the quarterbacks get shifted Oh, that's how you usually with the quarterbacks. You go from one quarterback to the next That's that's what the transition usually is It's usually with an injury and it and that could be for really any position not just quarterbacks If somebody gets hurt a starter gets hurt backup comes in. Oh back up. Oh, you ain't so bad Okay, go ahead. Do your thing That's all she wrote But with Tyus Bowser, we hope that he can be ready But one thing that we hope the Ravens don't do like they did with a Ronnie Stanley like they did with a Nick Boyle Like they did with a Derrick Wolf Don't rush him Don't rush him played a long game. Do not rush him. Oh, I was scared They were gonna do that with Lamar Jackson when they had him at that practice and he was all hobbling and limping around I was thinking. Oh, no, don't rush him. Please It's not worth it Let this season be what this season was don't rush it and I am so glad that they didn't and You see what the Packers like Ravens need to take a note in Packers book because Jaya Alexander was looking like he was gonna be gone for the season But they were like, oh, no, hold up. We'll put your injuries there. We'll see if you can come back He ended up coming back for the playoffs David Bach Bach Tiari, he was out for I think the majority year I think he came but then he come back in a playoff game But either way these were some of their best players and then like we've been talking about Zadaria Smith He was out for the majority of the year So they were willing to they held that their best players out and there was some talk there Oh, man, they could they could have came back sooner, but you just you don't want to rush anything It's tempting because hey, that's one of our best players. It's one of our guys. It's one of our stars But you got to play the long game So was a Darius Smith All that time off that he had and then he came he came back and look good He came back even got a sack in the uh, and in his first get one in the playoff game and Yeah, the playoff game didn't go their way, but yeah, man So he showed like hey, I'm here, but if the Packers do end up releasing him I don't think he's gonna be saying hey, I'm here when it comes to the Ravens. I would like it But I just I don't see it happening. But hey crazy things have happened, but he's gonna be very sought-after On the market if he does get released. So we'll see we'll see what happens with Zadaria Smith Man, I just every time I think about him and thinking about him with the Ravens I get reminded of that Titans game where they were just sacking Matt Marcus, Mario the left and right and Zadaria Smith just knew he knew he was get he was getting ready to break the bank because he looked at the camera after one of Those sex and it like this And I was like, oh boy. Yeah, he he's gone. He's out of there So anyway, I love y'all team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all I don't know why I'm saying it's like this the end of the video, but let's go to the next question So the first outside question that came from my god Martin and appreciate you being a patron said engraving hope all is well with you I was looking at why receiver group thinking about how the coaching staff has wasted all this potential But thinking about how this is on the receivers all wide out scored only two touchdowns after week seven I really like these guys, but maybe it's time to explore new options But then again, how much better would they be with the different coaching staff? I don't know. I wanted to get your thoughts on it Also started asking myself this because of all the wire receivers potentially hitting the free agent market such as Michael Gallant Devonta Adams Chris Goodwin and Mike Williams We have I think seven wide receivers if I'm not mistaken if we wanted to bring someone on We would have to take someone off I don't think it's realistic to have seven or eight wide receivers every year on the active roster Sorry, if maybe this wasn't as team keep it clean as far as talking about the wire receiver group But I just wanted to ask and get yours and team keep it clean opinion on it. That's a good question Ravens right now on the active roster Is Hollywood Bateman Pro Shade Duvenay Wallace Boykin? So that's six It was Sammy Watkins too, but you know, they did not resigning him And I don't even think he would even really want to come back, but So, yeah, I think this will unfortunately be the year Where they do get rid of Miles Boykin I would love to see him somewhere else and see him with like a real opportunity I don't think he got a real opportunity with the Ravens It just didn't get a consistent opportunity. He didn't really get that real chance to really get on the same page But I think it'll just they just gonna move on I think And I've been telling people this I do think that the Ravens a Sneaky pick for them in the draft in the first three rounds could be wide receiver. I really do believe that Because I just feel like they'll try to get somebody who got some good size good speed and Is aggressive that's gonna go up and get it That's going to fight for it fight for the ball fight for extra yards fight for just that's gonna fight You ain't got no hands with nobody. Hopefully not but just somebody with some real aggression And I think that they're gonna be looking for that again now I know they got appreciated as they still got duvenay. You still got Tylen Wallace as well But I really do believe I think they're gonna do that But anyway as far as the the free agent market Well first the first party a question about the coaching staff That is a good question Because this coaching staff as we know in the long run They haven't really consistently gotten great production out of wide receivers now They had spurts here and there they certainly have but Consistently it hasn't been a good spot for wide receivers now One of the reasons for that Well, one of the contributing factors was how they would technically draft some guys But they would sign a lot of veterans that would take those guys spots and under Eric Dicosta It seems as if he's trying to change that he's trying to make an adjustment to that to where Now we ain't trying to have a whole bunch of veteran wide receiver Let's let's really grow our own guy. Let's develop our own guys and I appreciate that I appreciate the fact that he's really been Trying to do that. Love it. I still do wish you would have got the Andre Hawkins, but that that's that's fine It's okay But I do appreciate that he's been trying to go younger and really like cuz because if you draft your own guys And then you're your fault and you don't sign a bunch of outside wide receivers Then you're forced to have to really develop your own guys and I do appreciate I did appreciate a lot to how They they they saw the issue Then they brought in some help for the issue with T Martin and Keith Williams. They were like hold up these guys They know some stuff about the development of the wide receivers and we did see improvement We did see improvement with our wide receivers Now we of course when Lamar went out like a lot of that went down But we we did still see some improvements. So hopefully next year With an improved offensive line Lamar making improvements Greg Roman making improvements the receivers making improvements Hopefully everybody can continue making improvements and they can continue making steps forward As far as some of the guys you mentioned Um Cuz he said he wanted to get get thoughts on on it because of all the wire see was potentially hitting a free agent market Yeah, I don't think they'll go for like any of these guys They would all be nice like Michael Gallup the Vonte Mike they would all be nice for Mike Williams. He'd be nice I really like him as a wide receiver But only thing is just the injuries man that that's the only thing with him that will bother me but Though those guys those are some nice receivers and I'm sure there's some more that we didn't even name But I just I don't see them signing any of those guys Most thing I could see them doing is to sign in somebody like for training camp Just like an extra body or something like that. You still got to practice squad guys, too But I don't see them making any significant moves in free agency For at wide receiver, but just I really don't I think they're gonna let Their guys be their guys Hollywood Bateman and that's oh Yeah, yeah, that's crazy that the hot. Well based off what I'm thinking happens. Nothing is set in stone but Right now Hollywood is the oldest wide receiver on the team And as a raven fan like hearing something like that. It's like what a Fourth-year receiver the oldest wide receiver on the team unless I'm missing something, but I ain't missing nobody That's crazy. That's crazy when you think about it. That is insane insane So it's just something to think about but I like I said, I do feel like Area the Casa has been he's been making that shift and I do love this shift the shift has come with some struggles But it's you got to go through that to in order to get where you want to go in order to improve In order to get better in an area where you're not comfortable at where things haven't been so good You got to be willing to go through that struggle. So I Appreciate the Ravens struggle at wide receiver what it's been Because I if anybody that's been on the channel for the past couple of years. I remember after Well, I think what was it after 2019 Or was it after 2018? I forgot what year was it was either after to 2018 after 2019 But I had said I was saying that I would not mind if the Ravens even like they just went all rookies for wide receivers That they really they really went young like all guys that they drafted I Said that a couple years ago Because and I was willing for the season not to be so pretty I was willing for the season not to look so good But they but for just for them to make that transition Because I wanted them to come off of just always signing the veteran wire see like if you sign the wire see But in there prime something like okay. Oh, all right. No problem. Cool. But that's not what the Ravens would do They will sign these vetted. That's way past their prime. We're like way past They will get the guys in like the the second third wave of free agency The the guys that either got cut or guys that nobody was really messing with like that. Oh, okay, cool Hey, you're available. Hey come through But again Eric Dacosta, you're like, no, but I wanted them to be like no don't do that anymore And they seem to be on that path So we'll see how this season goes when it comes to the wire see it was this this offseason is just it's so fun And it's only to begin. We're not even in the new league yet We're not even a week away for a week removed from the Super Bowl yet We almost all we've got six six days, but even a full week removed from Super Bowl So anyway, so see how things go. I love y'all team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all and y'all stay up Be good to yourselves Baby
