 Throughout this offseason, we've continued to hear so much about different players from our favorite team, the Baltimore Ravens through practices and training camp. We've heard reports and updates and this and that on how they've been doing. But Saturday was different this past Saturday. We actually got to see them in a live game in the first preseason game of the year. And it was fun. It was fun. But there were some guys that had great games and there was some that had not so great games. But is it over? Does that ended all? Does that finalize whatever their fate is going to be with the roster? Well, we're going to talk about two of those guys first, one being James Proshay and the other being Keaton Mitchell. With James Proshay, does he have still have a legitimate chance to make this Ravens roster? And with Keaton Mitchell, does he have a shot at pushing for some playing time when it comes to Ravens running back situation? We're going to answer those questions in plenty more on this special episode of questions from subscribers. But first, a word from our sponsor. One of the most painful things to see on the football field every Sunday is a blindside hit. And that's because with blindside hits, you don't see them coming. They're painful, they're inconvenient and they hit you out of nowhere, you ain't got no way to prepare for it. And the same can unfortunately be said about a car accident. But when football players get whacked, they know exactly who to call. When us regular people get into accidents, sometimes we just don't. And then just a simple thought of the process of hiring a lawyer. It seems super stressful and it can bring a lot of anxiety. But with Morgan and Morgan, they make it easy. What Morgan and Morgan have done is modernize the injury law process. So you can actually submit a claim and have it looked at by a lawyer without even leaving the couch. If you need to sign documents, send any pictures, share any medical records or doctor bills, you can do all of that from your phone. And for those of you like myself who don't feel like being on the phone all day, you can even text message the case manager or the attorney without ever having them to go into an office. If you ever injured in an accident, hiring an attorney is one of the first things that you should do. And with Morgan and Morgan submitting the claim, it's super easy. More than 3 million people have trusted Morgan and Morgan when they've been in an accident. So if you're ever in an accident, hopefully you won't be. But if it does happen, you can check out Morgan and Morgan. You can submit a claim in eight clicks or less. And you can have America's largest injury law firm fighting for you. You can get started at ForThePeople.com or Dial Pound Law. And that's pound 529 from your cell phone.

But anyway, the regular season is not here yet, but a prelude to the regular season is the preseason. And we got our first game this past Saturday. And somebody that stood out in that game was James Proshay. And a lot of people felt like with the way that James Proshay, the game went, it is all but over for him when it comes to him being a Baltimore raven. Does he still have a legitimate shot at making the roster? Initially, during the game, I was thinking, yeah, that could be a wrap, too. He had the two passes come his way and they were both broken up. And he had his big player tonight, which was the fumble, the fumble on the punt return. And it was just I just felt for him, man, because I'm like, oh, man, just it's been rough. It's been a rough year for James Proshay on the football field because it's like it just seems like everything that could go wrong. It has gone wrong for James Proshay. And it's been unfortunate, it's been really unfortunate. So while I was watching the game, I was thinking, man, that might be a wrap. But then I thought, man, I actually do think he still actually has a chance at making the roster, not not even just a practice squad. I definitely think he got a shot at making a practice squad, but I think he actually still has a chance at making Ravens roster. It would take a lot. It will take a whole lot because he did have a catch after the after the two passes went his way and they were both broken up. And after the fumble, he did have one catch. But in order for him to make the roster, he will have to have a phenomenal outstanding out of this world last two preseason games. He will really have to. But it also helps that the Ravens, they really, really like him as a person. So that bodes well in his favor, but he will have to just go out there and destroy everything in these last two preseason games. So a lot of that is not really in his control, but he can only control what he can control. So when the opportunity comes, he will have to make the most out of it and more. It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough, especially with the the main person who he's battling with, in my opinion, for that last wide receiver spot, Tyler Wallace, because Tyler Wallace, he had a good game, even called a touchdown and all really nice touchdown to. So right now I would have to give Tyler Wallace the leg up on on his competition being James Pro Shade. And really everybody else right now as well, who's battling for that final roster spot at wide receiver. But it ain't over till it's over. And somebody whose career is just starting and it's definitely not over. It's Keaton Mitchell. Keaton Mitchell, I had heard so many different things from Ravens fans when the Ravens first brought on Keaton Mitchell. And so many of them said the same exact thing. There is no way that he he has to make the roster. Ravens can't let him go. He is going to make the roster. He got the breakaway speed. He can be a return man. He can do it all. And I was like, OK, I like what I hear. But then when we saw the preseason game, I was like, Oh, I love it. I love it. And I want him to make the roster. But how will he? Kenny, Kenny actually pushed for playing time on the Baltimore Ravens roster. I think he can. But it will take a lot. One, the one of the biggest ways I think he could push for playing time is in a return game. Right now, Devon DuVernay is their returner and he is an all pro returner. He is. So it will be really hard for Keaton Mitchell to carve out a role there. But I think he could, especially given the opportunity because Devon DuVernay, a straight line speed, that's him all day. But he's not wiggly like that. And Keaton Mitchell, he is. And I could definitely foresee him breaking some big returns on special teams. Another way that he could push for playing time if he could beat out Melvin Gordon, because J.K. obviously lock. Gus Edwards, lock. Justice Hill, lock. But Melvin Gordon and Keaton Mitchell, it'll come down to those last two. And with the Ravens, with their offense, because they, I would expect them to be passing the ball more so they may wanna keep three running backs instead of four. But Keaton Mitchell, so far, it's still early, still got two preseason games left, but so far he's given them every reason to keep him around. Cause for somebody like him, again, it's just been one preseason game, but it's been some nice practices too. But somebody like him, it's like, you almost feel like you cannot let them go. So we'll see what happens, but as far as those two, James Frosche and Keaton Mitchell, I feel like their trajectories are bolted in with the Baltimore Ravens are headed in two different directions right now, but let's see if they can both get on the same track. Now those two first questions came from me, but now let's get some questions from you all. First question came from my guy, Ejion. He said, greetings and gravy, team keeping clean all the way from Southern Cal. My question for you is, between Keaton Mitchell, Melvin Gordon and surprise, Devin Duvenay, who's the odd man out? Who's going to the practice squad? Oh, good question to start us off. So out of those three, Devin Duvenay, I think he stays. Odd man out, I would say Melvin Gordon. If I had to choose one for practice squad, it would be Melvin Gordon or Keaton Mitchell, maybe both. I think Ravens would possibly run the risk of I don't want them to, but the way that they've operated and especially they got some tough decisions to make man. JK ain't going nowhere, Gus ain't going nowhere, Justice Hill ain't going nowhere. So if they end up keeping four, then Keaton Mitchell got a shot. But if they only end up keeping three, then I think they could put him on a practice squad. He said, Keaton Mitchell, Rookie Phenom, won't last long there if he continues to showcase his talent, set a very affordable rate. Yes, man. Yeah, you summed it up perfectly. Melvin Gordon, a veteran running back with decent production, the known commodity with receiving capability in his new past friendly offense. Good point again. Devin Duvenay with real wide receivers added in the offseason, very little buzz so far. The Justice Hill can return punts and Keaton Mitchell was just seen returning kicks. So to me, he's a surprise candidate that could possibly not make the team this time around. Ooh, that, no. You know what I thought about that before? Devin Duvenay, there's no way that they would just outright cut him though. I think the only way that Devin Duvenay is not on the Baltimore Ravens is if he gets traded. But as far as cut, no, I don't see it at all. He said also I highly doubt Baltimore carries five running backs on the active roster. Oh no, not at all. Next question came from my boy Kevin. He said, wrong about Ben Cleveland. Watch this YouTube video breakdown on how Ben Cleveland played against the Eagles after that first bad play against Jaylen Carter. On that Carter play, I think the center and him should have double teamed Carter. But that's my opinion. But Cleveland had a dominant game the rest of the way. Watch the video please. And yeah, I did hear about Ben Cleveland and his dominant game. Me, I wasn't really focusing on the offensive line throughout the game. I wasn't focusing like individually on the different offensive linemen and whatnot. But I did hear really good things about Ben Cleveland that has been the consistent, excuse me, the consensus around Ravens that he did have a pretty good game. Besides that first play, where would have that Jaylen Carter play where he got blown up. But other than that, he was spot on. Next question came from my guy Paul. He said, hey, engraving hope all is well for you. And I'm looking forward to your coverage of the upcoming season of Ravens football. Hey, I appreciate that. We looking forward to it too. I said, I really enjoyed the game against the Eagles and while it's crazy that we won 24 preseason games in a row, we all know the point of these games is to evaluate the depth at various position and give guys the opportunity to compete. One position that I'm sure many Ravens fans are concerned about this cornerback as there are very few established players after Mullen Humphrey. And there have already been several injuries to guys like Roccassine, Damarian Williams, Trayvon, Mullen, et cetera. This opens up opportunities though for other guys to step up and show what they can do in the preseason. One player that really stood out to me was Keevon Seymour who had a lot of playing time and had really nice coverage on Eagles where I received Tyree Cleveland. Oh, that's his name, Tyree. Cause yeah, I kept seeing Cleveland. That's number 85, right? Cause he kept catching catch after catch after catch after catch. Anyway, he had good coverage on him early on in the first quarter. Seymour had been around the Ravens for a while and while he didn't look very good in 2021 when literally everyone ahead of him got hurt, he has impressed me and came so far and he can play special team. So given the uncertainty at the cornerback position, this year could be his big opportunity. But that said, do you expect him to make the roster? And if so, what could we expect from him this season? Anyway, nice to finally be back. Good luck this season. Appreciate that. So Keevon Seymour, I think that he'll make the roster simply because he's made it already. Several times, there were several transactions with Keevon Seymour last year, I believe. And Ravens brought him back again. So I could definitely see them keeping him around, especially because he has experience out there, like really out there, not just, not a little bit, but he got a lot of experience last year with the Ravens. So they know him, he knows them, he knows their coaching staff, his coaching staff knows him. So I think he'll make the team. Next question came from my guy, BB. He said, what's up Team Keeper Clean? I gotta say we being Ravens fans gotta look more at appreciating Devon Duvenay. This two-time pro bowler has glue on his hands every game. If this current system was implemented a few years ago, he would be considered a possible number two guy on this wide receiver roster. He has been the most solid wide receiver on this roster since his rookie year being in a system that doesn't favor wide receivers as threatening targets. Duv is so undervalued, we need to give him his flowers. And he said, hashtag Team Keeper Clean and Super Bowl bound. Hey, we gonna see, we gonna see. That Super Bowl bound, I can definitely see that though. But with Devon Duvenay, I think that with him, it's just about opportunity. It's about using him the right way. I feel like he wasn't used the right way over the past couple of years. And hopefully this year now, a monkey will use him to his strengths. And also from BB, he said, with the struggling of the offensive line, do you think Ravens will start Daniel Philele? He did very well protecting last season with this injury-stricken old line. He's six nine, three hundred eighty nine and he is a luxury for the team. Your thoughts? Ooh, starting Daniel Philele. Oh, they start him at guard? I mean, cause they not gonna start him at tackle. They could experiment. Well, I would like to see them put him in at guard with the starters on the offensive line, like in pre-season or something. But if they don't do it, they're not gonna start him. Next question came from Luffy. He said, what's up in Graven? It's been a while, a while ago. I basically said, we didn't need a job, but he has came a long way from his injury. I never wanted to down a man trying to fulfill his dream. So it was self-centered by me to say what I said. So I take it back and I hope that he has a great career wherever he is. And I apologize for any disrespect. Anybody associated with the Ravens, if they fell some type of way about my comments, genuinely, peace. Hey, I appreciate this. That takes a real person right there to correct something that they feel was wrong about what they said and if it offended anybody too. I appreciate that a lot. And with David Ajabo, yeah, man, we gonna see, with David Ajabo. So far, so good as far as training camp and stuff. Preseason, he was a little quiet, but who knows what the coaches told him. Maybe the coaches told him, hey, David, did y'all just go out there, run a little bit, engage a little bit, but don't go too crazy. Don't show him what we've been working on. Just keep that on a low. But yeah, man, we do hold David Ajabo does really well. Him, the doffit, just all of them really, man. So I appreciate you doing this. Speaking of Devon Duvenay, this next question came from my guy, Michael. He said, what's good? My name is Michael, huge fan of the channel. I appreciate you watching it, Michael. So he said, so I don't know if I'm overreacting, but I've seen a post about Zay Flows becoming the Jet Sleep King now. What does this mean for Devon Duvenay? Now, I think Duvenay will be straight, especially because he got the return game. I do think Zay Flows will be more involved with the offense than Devon Duvenay will. Simply because Zay Flows is more of the future right now than Devon Duvenay is. Duvenay is on any on the last year of his deal, I wanna say, I think he is. But either way, Zay Flows is the first round pick. Devon Duvenay was what, a third round pick a couple of years ago, and with Zay Flows, like when somebody's the first round pick, especially a wide receiver, that's what all eyes are gonna be on. I'd say that eyes are gonna be off of Devon Duvenay, but more eyes are gonna be on Zay Flows for the Ravens than it is on Devon Duvenay. But it's important that, regardless of what they were drafted, regardless of what year they got picked up, regardless of what the future holds, it's important that the Ravens use both of them the right way now. Long season, next question came from my guy Jordan. He said, first off, God bless you on your page. It has had so much positive energy. So thanks for that. No, Jordan, thank you for that. He said, if the wide receiver room does well in the preseason, not just the top three or four, but the ones behind them, what are your thoughts on the Ravens putting Bateman on I.R. to start the season, which makes room for one of the bubble receivers on the roster and saves Bateman for when the season starts ramping up, and he could be fully healthy. No, I wouldn't do that. If Bateman is ready now, like when the season starts, play him now. Play him now, because the more the merrier, I get what you're saying is, you're playing more the long game, but I'm playing the whole game, man, the whole season game. It is a long season, like it was the title of your question, and I get where you're coming from, but if Bateman's ready, I say put him out there now, man. Let's go Ravens and O's. Next question came from my boy Kevin B. He said, hello in Raven. Hope all is well. I'm gonna make this short. We cannot let Clowney leave without a contract. We've been begging for him for some years, and hopefully JK gets everything resolved because he will be a big part of the offense. And look at that, everything was resolved by the time we got to this question. He said, he has to get out there and ball out. JK, 23 games in three seasons that doesn't look good on your resume, my friend. Peace and blessings. Well, JK ended up coming to peace with the Ravens and blessing us with his presence, and now he's back. Next question came from Reese. He said, first off, thanks for everything you do, and how are you all doing? Hey, we good. We pretty good, man. I appreciate that. Hope you're doing good too. He said, my question is, and I may have missed something, but Bateman was working out with OBJ and Hopkins before training camp. Did he get re-injured or put on PUP lists? I think maybe he got in trouble, and that's his discipline. Maybe I'm wrong. That's what I'm seeing. I don't think so. Because that wouldn't be wise of the Ravens to put him on PUP lists to discipline him. So no, I don't think that's what it is. I think maybe he got the injury that he had. I think they said he wasn't responding like his body wasn't responding. Cause look, when you're working out, excuse me, when you're doing your private workouts, you don't have the team medical staff around you. You just would have your private workouts with your boys. But with him being back with the Ravens medical staff, they can take that much closer, they can take that much more of a closer look at him and seeing how his body is, seeing how his body responds to stuff, seeing how his body's feeling and whatnot, how the treatments are going and whatnot. They can take a much more extensive look at him than he would got if he was on the outside. Next question came from my God, David, who's a team keeping clean. Patron, appreciate you. He said, ain't great, I have a question for you regarding the wide receiver room. So my locks this year, Bateman, O'Dell, Flowers and Aguilore. In a situation like this, do you see the Ravens keeping five or six receivers? And is there any word that Pro Shae beats out Doof or a spot? No, I don't think Pro Shae beats out Doof at all. I think Doof is pretty much a lock. I think he's the only lock that could be a possible, not lock, but I think Doof may pretty much is there. But Pro Shae is not a lock by any means at all. I say, I don't think this is likely, but I'm curious as to see how Pro Shae has maintained a spot on the roster up to this point, given his lack of production over the last few years. Oh, well, that's a good question. I mean, that ties into the first question that we had about James Pro Shae. That's what I said, the Ravens really like him. I think they would just really like, there was the potential that they may have seen with James Pro Shae, but it just, things just haven't worked out yet. But hopefully, whether it's with the Ravens or whether it ends up being somewhere else, hopefully it does end up working out for James Pro Shae. But as far as Devin Doofen there, Devin Doofen is a lot more safe than Pro Shae is. Next question came from my grad Martin, who's been a patron for two years. He said, so I know I got on the Ravens media for the hype videos, candidates, but let me reverse that a little and say, I do like their podcast with the players and them asking random questions to them. It's always fun getting to know this guy and it makes you root for them even more. I love our players and how they are really like a family. Did you see Nick Bosa holding out over there and saying, friend, he's been one of my favorite players and never thought of the possibility of trading for him. Hey, EDC should at least give a call over there to see if they can make something happen. I know I'm definitely not ungrateful for the masterful offseason EDC has done for the team. This will be my all in year. Get everyone, let's make that Super Bowl happen. Love you guys, team, give it clean. You guys are awesome. That would be nice. That'd be great. But yeah, you got like, San Fran ain't paying. Yeah, I just Ravens, no, they not going to. But anyway, continuing, he said, I'm off for players getting their money. I think JK will have earned his money, but think his situation is trickier than the other holdout running backs for multiple reasons. Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley are coming off career years. JT had Jonathan Taylor, had an MVP like season two years ago and all three of these running backs are essentially to their team's success. Not saying JK isn't, but one thing you have been saying for the longest is that the Ravens have a 1A1B situation, whereas the other running backs holding out don't have that problem if JK sits out, which I don't think he will. Then it's Gus time to shine. I don't want this to come off as JK doesn't deserve to get paid, I'm just saying he has a lot working against him. Oh, no, no, no, no, we got you. We all understand it. And that's what we've been saying too, is he doesn't have any leverage right now. Like I always talk about no problem with players trying to get their money, go get all the bread that you could possibly get from the league, cause they got plenty of it to give around. They be wanting to hold it back sometime, but hey, you go out and get it. But with JK doping situation, it was really, really, really tricky for him. So he's back now, so he's off to a good start. Let's hope he has a great season and he can cash in afterwards. And the last question on this special episode of questions from subs came from my patron, Dominic. He said, what's up engraving? Hope everything is good and well, hey, I appreciate you Dominic and appreciate you being a patron. He said, I'm saying Pat Ricard just came off the PUP listen, noticed that hardball has said that Ricard was taking snaps at old line as well. To me, this tells me that his position as a fullback will either be limited or taken away eventually. I think the Ravens like Ricard as a player, that's why they are trying to move him around. But as an old lineman, I can't see him doing that. What, would he be a guard or something? What are your thoughts on this? I mean, yeah, I could see that too. Cause like I told y'all, somebody told me a long time ago, like when they start moving your positions and stuff, they start trying your different places, then that means you just really don't have a place. But we'll see what Pat Ricard, cause like you mentioned, they really like him. They love Pat Ricard. So I'm sure they'll find something for him at least this year. Next year, I think that's when it becomes a real possibility that he wouldn't be with the Ravens no more, especially since and Munkin came out and said it from jump, like he don't be using full backs like that. So that's, that's, that was significant. So we'll watch to see how they use them. I mean, they try them to, they had them today. Well, it was today the 14th or 15th, today the 15th, they had them today the 15th or a practice, joint practice with the commanders. They hadn't working that tight in a little bit too. Just moving around in different places. So he've been doing a little bit of everything. Maybe he'll be like the skill position version of Patrick McCurry, where he play all these different positions of what? Cause I mean, last year we saw him at full back, running back tight in and wide receiver too. So maybe this year they're just running back, but with more intent.
