 So youtube team keep it clean before we get into this i appreciate y'all so much man i know it has been a lot of videos today and i didn't even put out videos on everything that i wanted to because of course there's patrick chung from the patreon he opted out there's marquis going from the eagles he opted out but i was like oh you know what let me chill um because it's been a lot and there's still like more videos that i got from yesterday that i haven't put out yet too uh and video from today that i haven't put out yet either and it's just it's just been a lot but i appreciate y'all for coming through on the videos showing support for the videos watching the videos um and just nobody's been complaining about anything so i appreciate that a lot thank you for uh supporting and like genuinely supporting me seriously um i appreciate all the positive comments all the encouraging comments and all the uh the grateful comments thank you man thank you to to all of y'all the team keep it clean ain't nobody liking me straight up man um but anyway so gust edwards today it made it official where he signed his exclusive rights tender and i had actually thought i thought he did this a while back i really did i thought he signed this like months ago but i guess i was wrong i really thought he did but maybe i must have read something wrong or maybe my memory is not serving me correctly like y'all know that's normal though but um i really thought this happened a while back but anyway that just makes it official that gust edwards is a raven right now um and he is finally under contract and again i thought he was already but i was obviously wrong um so we gust edwards it's um earlier this off season uh with gust edwards and just the way that his career has been especially last year um we we've talked about it just extensively on here um and i have been very adamant uh about gust edwards about me thinking that gust edwards would not be a part of this team um not because he didn't deserve a role not because he hasn't earned a role not because he isn't a good running bag because he's done all three of those things he's a good running bag um he's earned his spot he's earned his stripes and he he's nice i like gust edwards um love his style love that um he shared it he shared it wait which i need to do myself too i'm working on it but he shared it wait and while he he gained speed uh but he still kept power too because you know how some people they can lose weight and then they'll lose strength as well but gust he maintained a good level of strength um but gained some some burst too so that helped his game out even more uh but with gust edwards i just i didn't see him being on a ravens this season um and the reason that i said that is because just the way that they used him and the way that they didn't use him and when it mattered the most they they barely use him at all and of course referring to the the titans game and the playoffs um and then when they drafted jk dobbs in the second round it was like okay we don't mark ingram isn't going anywhere um i figured a gust could be the odd man out he could be the odd man now because we kept getting all these clues and all these signs to where it's like oh yeah gust he's the odd man out but now um as we watch especially even as we watch today uh and we see player after player after player after player after player we see all these guys opt out of their contracts um so these roster rosters are already like players they have to get to i mean teams excuse me teams have to get to 80 men on the roster but now it's like teams are gonna be below 80 men because i know the patriots just a couple days ago they had trimmed their roster to 80 men but now they got patrick chung he's going down to high tower he's going mark his cannon he's going and i know there were a few more on the patriots too i can't remember the names of brandon bolden that's another one he's going and there's another one too but now they're down to like 75 so now they got to get people to get back up to 80 so my point is that and it's more names are gonna come out even probably by the time this video finishes upload because we certainly don't got the best internet in the world uh because if we had better internet then y'all would get videos a lot faster um and probably more of them too but anyway that's beside the point um but with uh with all these players opting out and whatnot then it's gonna happen more and more around the league and again like i said by the time y'all see this video we're probably gonna get another name that pops out because i'm let's let's see let's just run the test i'm recording this video at 340 p.m. it's 340 p.m. um but anyway so teams are roster spots while they are extremely valuable like the the value on roster spots went up a lot when it came out that rosas had to get to 80 men but now with all these players dropping out it almost makes the roster spot sort of lose value a bit because a lot of players are going to and have already dropped out opted out of this season so with Gus Edwards um just the way that this season is set up now i actually do think it is a high chance that he stays only because of this whole opt out thing the way that it's been um i think that increases his chances of staying because yet like y'all y'all know i was definitely like oh yeah ravens they gonna trade them and there's still a possibility that they do so it's not like it's set in stone that he remains with the team or whatnot but um just the way that rosas are man and how the teams are they losing players and again don't can't hold it against the players man players want to opt out fine cool that that's that's okay because it's their health that's at risk they don't want to put their health at risk they don't want to put their family's health at risk and i'm sure nfl is still going through different uh they're still probably going through different ideas and whatnot on how they're gonna go about this season they still because they're looking at uh mlb and mlb they having problems they're looking at nhl nhl's been perfect they're looking at mba mba's been perfect you can look at wwe wwe they had their hiccups so you can look at all these different major sports and whatnot and see the the good that they've done and the bad that they've done and you can take from all of that and then come up with your own thing but with the nfl is is so much different though baseball had problems baseball travels mba didn't have any problems they didn't travel they got their little bubble thing going on um i think nhl too i don't know how nhl is doing it but they they haven't had any problems wwe they had a few problems they had quite a few problems um but they don't really travel well it's their superstars come in and they record for like mondays and fridays and wednesdays they record everything in bulk uh and then they go back home so but nfl they they got to figure it out they got to figure it out i know everything that's been going on has um made a lot of people feel like hey whoa man yeah it definitely ain't gonna be no season now it's not gonna be a season at all it ain't happening me i still think that nfl they they i think they are going to scratch and kick and claw and they are going to fight to make sure that there is a season i think they definitely are but again um this makes the roster spots a little less valuable in my opinion since more guys and even more guys on the more guys on the ravens are going to opt out to it's going to be more people all across the league so it's going to be more spots that end up opening up so it's just crazy man it's it's crazy and it's just it's so different but we'll see how everything goes down now with gus it was this season um if he does remain on the ravens i i'm not really sure what to expect from i'm really not because i i wonder how are they gonna do active game day rosters um because you know i mean mark and he's gonna be active jk dobbins gonna be active and then with gus it was i would assume that he would be active but then you got uh justice hill as well now for justice hill you can use him on offense too you can use him in the return game on special teams so that may force them to activate four running backs on game day but will the nfl possibly have more active players on game day we'll see we'll see we're gonna see man because a lot is gonna change but as far as gus it was rolled this year um i really don't know what to expect i really don't because while i expect the ravens to still be a run heavy team and hopefully they won't forget about that hopefully they won't forget about the run game especially come play all the time but while i do expect them to be a run heavy team i expected to be mark angler um and i do expect gus to get his fair share of the pie too but with them drafting uh jk dobbins especially in the second round man that lets you know like hey we want this guy to be a big part of what we do we want this guy to be a huge part of what we do especially since he is an all around back he's an all around back and like like i've been saying too i expect him if not by the end of this year then certainly starting next year i expect him to be the guy i expect him to be the starter i expect him to be excuse me the ravens lead back i expect that from uh from jk dobbins um so with gus it was i'm just i'm a little bit lost on what i think is gonna happen with him and and how the ravens will use him this year could they use him on the goal line use him on like third and fourth and short they could certainly do that but you you wouldn't want to minimize him to that because gus can do more than that and then the thing with gus edwards is like yeah you got mark angler you got jk dobbins you got justice hill who are all known for their past catching ability so they i expect them all to get used in the passing game but with gus edwards he's not known for his past catching ability and am i saying that gus edwards can't catch no i'm not saying that at all i'm saying that he just hasn't been put in those situations where he's asked to catch the ball too much too often so with gus edwards you i feel like ravens could almost sneak him in past catching situations they could sneak him in there because if teams watching a film on the ravens they're gonna be like oh yeah second and long third and long gus edwards is out there oh he ain't gonna be nothing nothing but uh pass blocking he's gonna be trying to chip linebackers and dns that might come through so they don't hit them all we ain't gotta worry about gus edwards and then you sneak him on a little screenplay you you never know so i just the thing with gus edwards man i just i just want him to get his opportunity man and i know it's a crowded backfield with the ravens but i just want him to get his opportunity and if a lot of y'all may disagree but if if they weren't gonna give gus edwards an opportunity i would want them to just trade him so he could get that opportunity because it's just like the hating her situation man to me it's just like the hating her situation you got somebody that's obviously not your starter he at once was your starter but things happened he didn't lose his starting spot due to injury like hating hers did but things happened to where he wasn't your starter anymore but he ends up being your backup guy but he doesn't get his opportunity he doesn't get his chance he doesn't get his uh yeah he doesn't really get the recognition of his skill so if the ravens weren't going to use them i would just i would want them to trade him but again i would i could understand too how they if they wouldn't trade them uh because they may be looking at all these people opting out and whatnot and they may be looking around the league and they may be like oof uh hold up we run the ball heavy and they may be thinking about injuries in the future possible injuries in the future and be like hey we want to have as much as much flexibility as we possibly can just in case somebody does get hurt at the running back position so we'll see but that's just my thoughts on that whole Gus Edwards situation because i want the best for me straight up i want the best for him i almost feel like like an uncle or something watching a nephew or something like that and you're like frustrated because you know what they can do you know their ability you know what this dude can get done but you just see the way that he's being used or the lack of his use and you're like man i just know this guy can do his thing but he just needed time so anyway shout out to Gus Edwards man i like Gus Edwards Gus Edwards a low-key dude he don't make a lot of noise and but he he shows up gets the job done he don't do a lot of talking he just shows up take care of business anyway team keeping clean appreciate y'all i love y'all and again thank you so much for supporting um and i like i said i know it's been a crazy amount of videos and it probably still will be over the next couple days because nfl is just going cuckoo right now um but i appreciate it so i love y'all and i'm out
