 I think it's always important to acknowledge people that you really, really appreciate in your life. You should do it all the time. Let them know, give them reminders that you appreciate what they do. That's why I always tell y'all, thank you for supporting the way that y'all do. Thank you for watching the videos. Thank you for hanging around. Thank you for being willing to give us time in your life like every single day. I appreciate that a lot. Now, a special shout out to the newest Team Keep It Clean Patron, my guy, Big Rich. Thank you for being willing to do that. But another special shout out to my guy, Authenix Only 22. And y'all can hit him up on Instagram. Authenix Only 22. Now, y'all know this is, this be more like us. This is one of my favorite hoodies that we have. And y'all see me wear it on special occasions. But my guy, Authenix Only 22. He say, you know what? Let's take it up a notch. Cause he sent these, these things are pretty funny. They are pretty, these white, purple Jordans. So, and I'm like, man, I'm like, look at where they, like they go together so good, man. But shout out to my guy. And then of course we'll go wear them with the Ravens Away jerseys too. So I really, really appreciated that. So shout out to Authenix Only 22. Y'all go follow him on Instagram. Hit him up if you need some shoes or something. Cause he had been telling me about that. He said he had those for me since like before the Jacksonville game. He didn't tell me what it was. But he said, hey, I got something for you. He'd be like, he'd been letting me know about it. But he did send them out. So I appreciate that a whole lot, man. You know, I appreciate you. I rock with you, man. And y'all, again, y'all go check him out for real, man. That was just, that was a nice little surprise, man, that he sent to the PO box. So anyway, we got an episode of question from subscribers to get into. Without further ado, let's do it. On the Bright Side, first question came from a team keeping clean patron, my god, JL. He said, I know the flock has been in shambles the past week over a ton of different things regarding the team. I wanted to take some time to look on the Bright Side of things. Okay, I like that. Let's put a positive spin on some things that have been a little bit rough. He said, we have seen the Ravens this season and last year be able to compete with any team. That's true. Ravens been able to rock with anybody. Their biggest problem has been just finishing. But they've shown that they can rock and they can mess with anybody. But anyway, he said, with a player like Lamar and an injury like a sprained PCL, the team is going to need Lamar back at 100% so that he is able to make magic happen. And that's, that is true. But it's, you hope, this is another reason why I wanted them to build around him more over the past five years. But I mean, they were here now. But this is why I hope that they would do that because, and hopefully moving forward. I know it may only be two games because it ain't looking like he gonna play against Atlanta. It may only be one game if he doesn't play against the Steelers. We'll see if he plays against the Bengals, but I would hope that the Ravens would try to use other guys in different ways to sort of take some off of Lamar. I mean, as a quarterback, a lot is going to be on you because you touch the ball like every single play. So you got to hand the ball off. You got to snap the ball. You got to throw it to the receiving and whatnot. But I will love if they could take some off him. So he doesn't have to always be Superman all the time. And there have been games where he hasn't had to be Superman sometimes, but they come far and few. But anyway, I've seen that he posted on his Instagram story that he had on training shoes which let me know he is definitely in the weight room rehabbing. I guarantee the thing behind this could be why rush Lamar back against the Falcons team with the rookie at quarterback when it is likely that you can clinch a playoff spot even with a loss. Here's the situation. Your defense has been given up 13 points a game since the Roquan trade. You have the greatest kicker of all time. Your running game is picking up. And last but not least, Superman is on his way. Here is a recipe for playoff success. Use that run game to open up play action with the Sean Jackson over the top. Oh, see, you know what? That's funny. You say something that's so simple. You say something that just makes so much sense. Use that running game help. Let it set up to play action and whatnot. Use your speed receive on the outside. Let them go deep and whatnot. Makes sense. But you see, this is why there was so many frustrations at the Browns game. Because the Ravens went away from what made sense. They went in the opposite direction of what made sense. And it didn't make sense. So we hear what you're saying. We love what you're saying. But the Ravens, they may not do what you're saying. But anyway, he said, use that run game to open up the play action with the Sean Jackson over the top. Mark Andrews man in the middle, while Sammy Watkins and the Marcus Robinson take care to short and intermediate route concepts to hopefully get first downs. I'm not saying it'll work. I'm saying if there is anyone who can, it's Lamar Jackson. Thank you. And what are your thoughts on salvaging the season? See, you don't even got to say salvaging the season. They're nine and five. They're nine and five. And big opportunity this Saturday against the Falcons to go 10 and five. And that would pretty much lock them up for the playoffs. But I mean, we won't know officially till we know. But again, like I said before, Ravens have to do more work not to make the playoffs than they do to make the playoffs. But yeah, as far as if, not even just salvaging the season, but as far as if you're gonna really make some noise in the playoffs. All friends got to get it rolling. Defense got to do their thing too. You got to play complimentary football. And I will say just really make stuff easier for everybody. Make stuff easier. And don't overcomplicate things for yourself. Don't overthink things that you have, you shown you do a lot of overthinking. You do a whole lot of overthinking. But if they could just relax, take it easy and just chill out, then I think things could be so much better, so much more efficient, so much smoother, so much more effective. If they would stop trying to outsmart themselves, then this Ravens team, especially with an offense, they could do much better. Next question came from another team, keep it clean, Patreon my guy Kendrick. He said, hey, and Raven, what if the Ravens are saving Lamar for the playoffs? Like he said in your last video, it would be harder for them to miss the playoffs than get in. Even if it's a wild card, the Ravens hit their stride at the right time, that would be crazy. Ooh, I remember that. Hey, Lamar, I've been saying Lamar is a man of his word. He said that we don't wanna peak too early. That's what I'm saying, dude. He sure ain't peaked too early yet, especially on offense, but if they were saving for the playoffs, I mean, I, again, with that video, I just wonder what the severity of the injury is. I wonder what it really is. And we'll see. I mean, we won't know till we know if they're saving him for the playoffs. I mean, I think it would be better for him to come in, as soon as he could, if he's healthy, so they can get back into more of a rhythm sooner. But if he's healthy before the playoffs, I say play him. If he's not healthy until the playoffs, then I say play him then. Whenever he's healthy, as soon as he's healthy, yeah, they need Lamar back and they need him back. Next question came from another team, keeping clean pace with my guy, Garrett. He said, hey, ain't Raven. Hope you and your family doing well. Do you think with us picking up semi-walking, do you think we have enough to make a run in the playoffs? I'm worried about the wide receiving room, but there's always a chance they could possibly make some noise in the post-season. I will always value your opinion. Thanks for reading my question. And, Raven, peace and blessings to you and the whole team. Keep it clean. Love you, bro. Appreciate that, Garrett. Do I think they have enough to make a run in the playoffs? Yeah. So that has Sammy Watkins. DeMarcus Robinson. James Pro Shade to Sean Jackson. Mark Andrews, I'd say it likely. JK Dobbins, Gus Edwards. The offensive line has been better, especially run blocking, especially Ronnie Stanley's out there. So I think they could make some noise in the playoffs. I think with what they have and with their style of offense and their coaching and their personnel too, I think that if they were to make some noise in the playoffs, I think things would have to really be perfect, especially the passing game, especially the passing game, because that's where there are so many limited opportunities. But at the same time in the playoffs, whoever the Ravens end up playing, as long as they make it there, they should make it there, but as long as they make it there, whoever they end up playing, you know, whatever team that is, they are going to do everything in their power to try to stop the Ravens from running. Will they be successful? We'll see. But they're gonna do everything in their power to try to stop the Ravens from running. So Ravens need to stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. That's been our motto this whole, before the season even started. Stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. So if Ravens could be ready in the passing game, then that would be, if they could just, so if teams take away their plan A, do you have a plan B? Can you execute a plan B? That would be the biggest thing that I think would be between them being won and done, or versus them making a nice little run. Will they have plan B ready just in case plan A isn't successful? Next question came from my guy, Joshua. He said, which number eight jersey should I expect to buy next year? 49ers, Jets, Saints, or Lions? What's up, ain't Graven, keep up the great work, my dude. Appreciate you, Joshua. In the likely assumption that Lamar is going next year to a better offensive team, which spot do you think he'll realistically land? 49ers, Jets, Saints, or Lions or somewhere else? I think Jets is a possibility. Saints, I think it's possible because they'd be reworking a bunch of contracts all the time and pushing money down the road. So they always a possibility. 49ers, I don't think that they would. I think he would go crazy there. But I don't think they would because they gave up so much to get Trey Lance. Boy, he would go crazy there, though. And he said, I know it's early, but I need to start thinking of jerseys now. Don't worry, I'll still be rooting for the Ravens for them to land a top, he said for them to land a top five draft pick in 2024, but I need my boy Lamar to get his Super Bowl with a front office that cares next year. That's something right there. It's, man, thanks so many Ravens fans. They just see it happening where they don't think he's gonna be here anymore. After this year, they see the writing on the wall, they see some propaganda that's been being pushed as well. They see it, they see it. We hope that it doesn't happen, but I mean, it's looking like it, but we won't know until we know. So till then, just gotta be patient, wait it out. But yeah, wherever Lamar ends up, whether he ends up staying with the Ravens or ends up going somewhere else, I just hope it's somewhere that is really gonna, I hope wherever he ends up, they really, really do value him. Like he should be valued and should have been valued. Oh man, I forgot to do the intro. Yeah, this feels like a dream. You too, T. Keep it clean. You see my boy, he like automated. Automated, writing, writing. So, T. Keep it clean, welcome to another episode of questions from subs where you can ask any NFL question you want to, and we answer in a video like this for the patrons. Patrons, you send your question directly on Patreon. You do not need to send it via email, but for everybody else, you can send your question to teamkeepingclean at gmail.com. If you ever wanna send something to the PO Box, that is down below in the description. Anyways, to support the channel really, everything is down below in the description. We got some great questions that we already had, and we got some questions that we have coming up. Let's get into the next one that came from my guy, Julius. He said, what's up in Graven? Philosophical failure. I'm over here knocking my mic out. He said, what's up in Graven? Wish his email was after a win, but hey, you and I and several other subs have discussed the same problems over and over again. John, John, John, his philosophy is to do whatever his buddies wanna do. Mike McDonald, G-Roy, both bring their game plans to hardball. He approves every game plan beforehand, so who should really be held accountable? Boom. Imagine teaming up with Kubiak or Payton with G-Roy and Mike McDonald. It's more business than friendship, and they would either shape up or ship out. Ain't no three to four years of bluffing and no results. You feel me? Then EDC not stepping to John, like either you get this team together or you get your desk together. Well, actually, wouldn't he be taking his desk apart, or well, getting his stuff together on his desk? Anyway, he said, EDC looks at John with all this belief and hopes for him to bring the Ravens back anew, but shaking my head, sad to watch. Crazy thing is, maybe Lamar would have signed the $180 million guaranteed contract in Hollywood with the state, but they wanted G-Roy gone in order for that to happen. But the Ravens kept him, so Lamar said, no, I need the full $250 million and Hollywood left. Remember, Lamar was surprised when he left, maybe because he thought the Ravens would part ways with G-Roy instead. Maybe Lamar was not betting on himself, maybe betting against the Ravens, like nobody can win with G-Roy, no matter who is on the center, no matter what scheme he comes up with, no matter how many tight ends, no matter how many veteran Y-Receivers you bring in to run G-Roy's routes, no matter how many headsets you replace, you're not winning. Huntley probably texted Lamar after the game, like even I need 250ms after running this game, playing for John to excuse it and use his leverage to blind EDC is just driving us fans insane. Woof. And again, that's what I've been saying. Yeah, G-Roy, not the best offensive coordinator in the world. Okay, cool, girl. G-Roy got his scheme. G-Roy offense is that third. But I just need to be looking at John Harbaugh. Man, listen. Next question came from my guy Evan. He said, ain't great, but thank you for all your content and consistency. I hope all is well with you and your family and is in good health. Appreciate that, Evan. Thank you. Man, listen, I didn't even believe that we are not a playoff team and most likely won't be any time soon. You said this on countless occasions. Us fans have said it. Analysts and former players too. We need to change our philosophy. We become way too undimensional and heavily reliant on a run game for far too long. Bullyball is great, but it's purely situational. It isn't the early 2000s anymore. It isn't even 2010 and it definitely isn't 2019. The run game just isn't enough. The game is ever evolving and changing as the years go by. I fear that we have yet to keep up with the times. I agree. We do not have a balanced offense at all. Yes, every team has their strength whether it's pass or run game, but all successful teams have displayed the ability to do both to an extent. Case in point. Look at Dallas right now. Look at Buffalo. Look at Sensi. Look at Minnesota. What do all three of these teams have in common? Offensive balance. Literally everything we call is mad predictable. The fact that our defense is based around Lamar's ability to use his legs, oh, excuse me. The fact that our offense is based around Lamar's ability to use his legs is disappointing. The fact that we don't have any weapons to help Snoop when Lamar is out is disappointing. The fact that play calling is lackluster and predictable is mad disappointing. Think of it like this. Garden of Men's shoe is the backup in Philly. If Jalen Hurst goes down, God forbid don't want to jinx that man's money. Well, he is out this week. Garden of Men's shoe is going to be starting. But anyway, he said Men's shoe was coming in with a top three receiving core solid run game and a defense playing on a contending level. Lamar goes down and we all have more anxiety and attacks than normal when watching. I actually feel like we have less because I feel like the expectations, they lower a lot. But anyway, he said we literally spend money on a championship level defense and have not set up the offense to succeed. I mean, have the staff not recognized the pattern we've displayed since 2019. Strong start until the rest of the league catches on to our repetitive basic non-creative play calling. Dog, I've been hoping G-roll this season to get in his bag and cash out. Bro pulled out two pennies of paper clips and lent and hopefully a pen for his letter of resignation. And honestly, hop on needs to go too. Sorry for the long reign. Still bleeding black and purple forever. Not in the grade. Appreciate that. Hey, that's real. He brought it all up. The consistent issues, the same stuff we've been talking about, the issues with the offense but he ended it all with pointing to the top. Lamar's greatness is his worst enemy. Next question came from my God, Dylan. He said, I ain't great when the team keep it clean. Hope you and the fam are doing well. Well, where to start? Firstly, how long has Duvenay been hurt for? You can't tell me that Duvenay from the first handful of weeks and now are the same player. But on my topic, Lamar has made Baltimore a killer. You can say what you want about Huntley or passing accuracy or whatever else you want to critique him for. But when Lamar has been healthy besides his first year being thrown into the deep end mid-season, we have reached the second round of playoffs. Unfortunately, Lamar's greatness, however, has now caused problem after problem. What I mean is the best receiver he has had wasn't Hollywood, although they had a great connection. His best receiver was really sneak. Because of the type of receiver he fits Lamar's play style, QB friendly and fighting for yards. Lamar was in a pro style passing offense coming out of college who scouted him because you can't tell me what you saw in college and what you have provided him is the same quarterback. Additionally, for everyone saying he doesn't deserve a potentially crippling contract on the team, even though you can have things work if you wanted enough, when Lamar stops being the leader, leading Russia on the team, then I'll agree. For now, he is Baltimore's offense with talent around him that doesn't match the standard. His attitude, demeanor, belief in himself, his humbleness and respectfulness and his willingness to win are all traits you want in a quarterback. He isn't flack old nor does he get, oh, excuse me, he isn't flaccid. I thought he was trying to say flack over those type of, but he isn't flaccid nor does he get complacent. He wants to be the best and work at that and the fact that they didn't surround him through his rookie contract is an absolute shame. I mean, you could have sent an email that just said the fact that they didn't surround him through his rookie contract is an absolute shame. You could have sent an email that just said that and that would have been perfect. But anyway, he said, but we are at the end of the bar and no, no better. So what can we really say? Hey, yeah, hey, drink, drinks on Dylan. He said once again, hopefully we are 10 and five. Yeah, after this game, we'll see how it goes. I think they should be, I think they should be even with Tyler Huntley starting, but it so much depends on what the Ravens decided to do. How they decided to play these Falcons. But I mean, a lot of people are looking beyond just the Falcons and Steelers and Bengals and whatnot. They just weren't in about the playoffs, but game by game, I think Raven should be able to take care of business against Atlanta. This question came from Oreo Cookie. He said, I try to be optimistic, but does this remind you of a playoff team? Most playoff teams realize what's working and stick with it. Well, from what I saw from JK Dobbins, he was working and they took him away. They tried passing when they couldn't do it at all. They couldn't do it all afternoon. The defense can only bail you out so much. You can't blow a lead if you don't have one. Tyler, Tyler, Tyler went and throw the ball away and took unnecessary sex. I've always wanted it to snow during the game, but I couldn't even enjoy the snow because the offense is so bad. Anyway, sorry for the long email and keep it clean. Ooh, yeah, that's just frustration, man. And he talked about they tried passing when they couldn't do it all afternoon. And then he said, well, from what he saw, JK Dobbins was working and they took him away. Yeah, this is what we talk about. Ravens do so much stuff to shoot themselves in the foot. And it's like, why? Eye-opener. Next question came from my Goddadz. He said, what's up, engraver? This is Dazz Longtime, supporting the subscriber. Just let me vent, please. I'm sending this message right after that so-called football game we just watched. Today was an eye-opener for everyone, except the staff and owner. JK had over 100 plus yards in the beginning of the third quarter and never touched the ball again. Now, no, people will say because we were down, but that speaks volumes on G-Roll's play calling. Snoop's first interception was a forced throw because G-Roll called a pass play on first down. After having the success of running the ball, today also showed what everyone in the world knows except Harb, Steve, and EDC. And that's that we lacked talent at the wide receiver position. Bingo. We, he said, can't play in the defense. They was on the field a lot. And when you hold a team to 13 points and have a hundred y'all rushing the third, you're supposed to win. Shake in my head, that's true. Another eye-opener is we finally see it's not Lamar's fault because Snoop was breaking the huddle and get into the line with maybe eight seconds left against Weeks Volumes on G-Roll. And just like every game we got to see are the lay of game flag. Maybe that flag should be called Ravens. We got a Ravens offense. Five y'all penalty, automatic first down. Lastly, when do you as a head coach step in and correct the issue at play calling? He can hear the plays in the headset. I guess he just gonna let the car crash without grabbing a steering wheel. Sorry for that long emotional message. Please do not apologize for speaking your thoughts and a lot of thoughts of other Ravens fans too. Next question came from Mars Rose that ain't Ravens been a while since I sent in a question. Mainly because this season has not provided me with many. Instead, it's the fan base that has me really confused. When Ronnie Stanley wasn't healthy yet, fans wanted him traded. When our pass rush wasn't going off, fans went after O-A. When we lost some close games, fans went after Queen. And now when Tyre speaks out against Greg, Roman fans want hardball fired. I would never understand being nine and five in the middle of a playoff hunt and you want to tear everything down to restart. You know who does that? Teams with nothing to lose. If we fired Roman, we could promote someone to fill in. Would there be hiccups? Oh yeah, but I can bet they wouldn't be as big as only scoring three points in a game. But why hardball? It just doesn't make sense. He's historically successful. Everyone seems close with him and he isn't the one calling the plays. He rides for his coordinators because he knows his limitations as a play caller he always has. And also 95% of fan bases hate their coaches so we are not unique here. Am I running with the wrong arguments in Graven? I feel like as fans this year have been showing a lot of misdirected emotion and blame going to the wrong people. Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay. Hey, I respect what you're saying. I don't agree with it, but I respect it. The reason I say I don't agree with it is because with, let's just go piece by piece because this is a fun one. When Ronnie Stanley wasn't healthy yet, fans wanted him traded. With Ronnie Stanley, a lot of fans are frustrated because of what his health has been and because he has such a large, he's so high on the pay scale. He's getting paid a whole lot of money and it's been issue after issue after issue after issue after issue. Ronnie Stanley's a great player, phenomenal player but that's why some fans wanted him traded. Now we knew he wasn't gonna get traded because that would have been so much dead money on a Ravens cap for years. But that's why fans wanted him traded because they were frustrated because the Ravens were paying somebody that just wasn't playing and wasn't available. And then he came back and got hurting, came back and got hurt. So that was with Ronnie Stanley. He said, when our pass rush wasn't going off, fans went after away. First round draft pick, high expectations. First round draft pick at pass rusher two, not delivering, not hearing from you. That's why fans went after away because it has been quiet. Especially after last year, last year, so promising last year had you thinking, all right, second year, oh yeah, he gonna be more comfortable, he going off. But away have been super quiet. When we lost some close games, fans went after queen. I think it all depends on the game. I think the bills game that the Josh Allen touchdown where it seemed like queen like sort of over pursued and just took a bad angle. And there was some plays where queen missed some plays but he made a lot of plays too. But I think fans, a lot of times that the negative could stick out more than the positive. Especially on defense, like defense, well, really any position, but defense, you could be doing the right thing all game. You could be doing the right thing all game. And then when you slip up and give up a big play, oh yeah, all eyes on you and people like, oh man, you terrible this, that and the third. So that's the stuff with Patrick queen. But he been playing pretty good over all this season. I said, and now when Tyus speaks out against Greg Roman, fans want hardball fired. Now with the whole Greg Roman thing. Greg Roman, yeah, he got his issues, but again, Greg Roman is not the deepest issue. Everything starts, everything is approved by everything goes through Jonathan hardball. Everything goes to him. He is the leader of the team. He is the head coach. He is the one that hired a Greg Roman. And the thing is, it's repetitive stuff. It's stuff that we see over and over, over and over. The Ravens are nine and five. That's true. That's very true. A lot of fans are just worried that a lot of fans feel like Ravens are sort of, they're fools gold. They feel like the Ravens are not real contenders. Now hopefully Ravens could turn some stuff around and be like, hey, we got y'all. And they do that all the way to a Super Bowl. That would be great. But most people are not really expecting a Super Bowl out of this team because you see the same issues happen over and over and over. And if, say for instance, there's a kid. There's a kid who's just acting up all the time over and over and over. Is it that the kid is just so bad? Or is it that something's going on with their parent? Who would you blame that on? Who would you, would the kid be in bad? Who would that be blamed on? Would that be the kid? Oh man, this kid's just bad. Or is the parent the one that's ultimately responsible? Next question came from my guy Luffy. He said, what's up in Greg Roman really quick? What do you think about the comments that Mark Andrews, John Harbaugh and Greg Roman made in the press conference? They seemed annoyed and almost angry. I didn't watch that press conference that had Mark Andrews. I saw him saying some stuff that wasn't so team keeping clean. I guess he had just fed up. Probably listened to a lot of outside noise and stuff but it just fed up. I'm sure he's frustrated too with how things have been going. I'm sure he's frustrated with how his year has been going. Thank goodness he got paid already. He got his bread. But I'm sure he's frustrated about it because it's been rough. It's been really rough. Greg Roman, I think I saw some quotes that said that he said he don't listen to outside noise. I was thinking, I don't believe that. I'm sure y'all be listening. Ravens let it be known that they be listening to outside noise. Anyway, he said they seemed annoyed and almost angry. For Andrews it could be viewed differently because he's a player and the issues do pertain to him but this still is the team he plays for so of course he would take offense. But I'm starting to think our comments are starting to touch some nerves along with live heckling at the games which is in my opinion uncalled for. But the truth hurts and it's exactly what's needed so that you can correct yourself and succeed. That's true, but you still wanna do it with respect. But yeah, he said, I don't wanna go on too long but I appreciate the vids you put out and giving Ravens fans a voice. Oh no, I appreciate that. But I definitely think Ravens players, coaches and stuff, they be hearing it. They be hearing everything that these fans be saying and whatnot, they be listening. They listen to the media, they listen to different fans and stuff they hear and I think with the frustration that it's coming from fans, it's not just coming from fans, it's coming from their players too. It's coming from players too. Like, again, the whole tie is Bowser thing. That's big, man. That's big. That ain't something you owe. You just sweep that under the rug. That's no big deal. No, that's a big deal. So hopefully they can get some stuff fixed. It's very late in the season obviously but it's gotta hold for the best, man. Next question came from my guy Sebastian. He said, the Browns game just shortened my lifespan by 10 years and it sucks when your best players, JK, are taking accountability instead of your coaches. Are we really taking Lamar for granted, man? I have a little theory. What if Ravens already offered Lamar money that's right for him but Lamar really just doesn't like to be in this hoared offense. So he's purposely denying the offers that Ravens made. Kind of like requesting a trade without saying it. They traded Hollywood and EDC proceeded to draft an injured linebacker, a defensive tackle who they overhyped so much, left tackle, a cornerback and two tight ends in the same round just for the culture. Oh, I'm gonna be so upset when they finally get good receivers after Lamar is gone. Why is it always who's gonna step up and not this guy for sure will cook? Oh, I never thought about it like that before. That was an interesting way to put it. He's tired of the we control our destiny comments every post game. Love this team, but this is a but shoddy problem. Ooh, he took it even higher. He took it to the owner. He took it to the owner. But back to your theory, what if the Ravens already offered Lamar money that's right for him but Lamar really just doesn't like to be in this hoared offense? I don't even think that's a theory. I think that's a real possibility. For me, I think it would be Lamar would be looking at the direction of the team, looking at what they've done and what they haven't done and the direction that they could be headed in. And you could think like, I don't see my best success. I don't see my best attempt of my best chances for success here. I don't see this team bringing the best out of me here. So yeah, and yeah, obviously has denied any offer that they gave to him because he ain't signed to the contract yet. And as far as requesting the trade, we'll see how this off-season goes. It's gonna be crazy, I'm sure. But yeah, the draft this year, it was an interesting draft. They did get some impact. Some impact came sooner than later, some impact came later than later. And there was some very interesting moves in the draft, especially around the fourth round, fourth round that went crazy. But yeah, man, it is what it is at this point. And as far as that who's gonna step up and not this guy for sure will cook, I love that right there. Because that lets you know the status of the playmakers that you have on the team, or lack thereof. This question came from Jamie B. He said, hey, I hope everything is going well. Hey, everything's really good. Questions after this latest debacle against the Browns. Do you think it is T. Martin and Keith Williams time? And time to say adios to G. No Roman. The guy who was running the game was eating the Browns alive. And then he goes to a bad passing game at the wrong time. As far as T. Martin and Keith Williams, again, it would depend on Raven's philosophy and how much they really allowed them to do. Cause that would be my only fear, man. If Raven still got the same philosophy, it don't matter who the offensive coordinator is, man. They still gonna be having the same, the way that they build the team, the way that they construct the roster and whatnot. And it'll be a lot of the same old stuff. But if they willing to change that, you give somebody else a shot, all right, cool. He said, why not just run till they stop you? Hey, cause it makes too much sense. But I must also say, EDC, this is what you get for not getting that dog wire receiver one. You need them to help and lead the other guys and no knock on them. They're giving it all. Raven's organization, I hope y'all will pay attention at your product. Sorry for the rant. Much thanks and appreciation for what you're doing. Graven and maybe like G. No, I'm out. P.S. If Hobbs seat heats up, bye bye G. No. Sad, but true. That's true. If Hobbs seat start getting hot, he ain't gonna be sitting up. He gonna be kicking other people off the bus. Next question came from my guy, Kevin B. He says, so predictable. And Graven, I hope all is well. So the Ravens aren't only predictable on the, as we all can see, and some already knew. When I saw that Packers cut Sammy Hammy, I was on my way to, and the entire time I was saying, he's coming back. When I got off work, I saw your alert and I knew what it was. Now let's go get OBJ also because it can't get any worse. Bad and him can only make it better. Beginning of the season, we said, don't put all your eggs in the Bateman basket and boom. The Ravens said, happy Easter Bateman, here's all the eggs. Why not get all the wheels you can to get over the hump? Instead, they just stay where they are just to make it halfway up the hill. Oof, that was deep right there. And yeah, that is what we said. We said it all off season. Love Bateman, think he got all the potential in the world, but I just, I did not want the Ravens to put all their eggs in the Bateman basket. And they did it, and it backfired. It backfired. Ravens could have been a lot more prepared this season. They lacked preparation at receiver. And inside linebacker, they tried. They really tried, because again, they tried to get Bobby Wagner. They tried, it failed, but they tried. But at the wide receiver, it just, yeah. It's, yeah, well, y'all know the story. So this, I mean, this is, nobody's fault, but this. Andres did happen, which is unfortunate. Andres changed a lot, which is unfortunate, but you still could have prepared so much better than you did. It's in the draft picks. Next question came from my guy, Golden Rano. He said, Engraven, why do I believe that Lamar only has three more games to play as a Raven, you ask? I think a lot of people believe that. I think a lot of people do. But anyway, well, there's playoffs as well, so we'll see how that goes. But anyway, he said, well, I'll tell you, EDC gave up a second in the fifth round, picked for O'Quarnon Smith, and quite frankly, RGM would never allow himself to miss out on spending more draft capital to select another second round defensive player instead of key game-changing offensive playmakers. He will make a valiant effort to trade Lamar in hopes of regaining that second round pick and something much better than a fifth round pick. He could possibly get a first and second in 2023 and two more picks in 2024. My point simply stated, EDC values draft picks more than his franchise, once in a generation quarterback. He's clamoring for two first round picks to go with a second and third rounder. He can use all those picks for defensive players. We're gonna see. This off-season is gonna tell so much of this story. The Lamar Jackson story, and it could be, we could be looking at the beginning of the end of Lamar Jackson with the Ravens. We hope that that doesn't happen. So many signs have pointed to it being that, but again, it's one of them things we won't know until we know. But I will still be just worried. I will just wonder, what would the Ravens do if they do keep Lamar? Are they gonna change their ways as far as putting talent around them? Because they could say, I mean, they've already got people sold on, oh, if Lamar gets a contract and the Ravens won't be able to put anything around them. And it's like, they already haven't put anything around them. And you know what was crazy too? So many times when we had that conversation that the Ravens haven't put much around Lamar Jackson. You know what a lot of people do? They say, no, what are you talking about? Lamar Jackson has had the top 10 defenses. This year they just traded for Roquon Smith. Remember 2019, they traded for Marcus Peters? I say, oh, what? So many people, they automatically go to the defense. They talk about the defense. They're like, oh, that's putting around, that's defense. Lamar don't play defense, Lamar ain't no going back. And it's just, it's always funny. And the last question on this episode of A Question From Subscribers came from my guy Vinny. He said, Mark Andrews, be ready, boost the confidence. I ain't Raven. Thanks for taking the time to answer my last question on this episode of A Question From Subscribers came from my guy Vinny. Mark Andrews, be ready, boost the confidence. I ain't Raven. Thanks for taking the time to answer my last question about the Raven and Foul and Stretch Run. Really appreciate it. Trying to stay positive when, but, excuse me, trying to stay positive, thinking they can score enough to be what I'm concerned about when I'm hardly back. Trying to stay positive when Mark Andrews presser really gave me a boost. Trying to stay positive thinking they can score enough to be the Foul Kings. It made me feel like they will figure something out and find a way to win. Mark Andrews presser really gave me a boost of confidence when he said, be ready without the end of it. It made me feel like they will figure something out and find a way to win and get in the playoff. We really don't. Now, a lot of that collapsed. Don't want it to happen last year. A lot of it. It was players on the field. You had a lot of injured players. I mean, not injured. We really don't. Now, injured. A lot of that collapsed. A lot of backups on the field. And guys that just hadn't played in a while, too. I mean, not injured players. Offense and injured, so. But at the same time. Some of the guys that just hadn't played in a while, too, it was culture. Offense and the unnecessary two-buck at the same time. The decision making on defense having guys that would just go for them as unnecessary two-point convergence and not closer to having them on defense, having guys that would just consistently put them in bad situations and not close to having them put them in bad situations. So a lot of it was execution as well. Yeah, you didn't have all your top guys out there. You put them in bad situations. But so much of it was culture. When you had that stuff last year, it was culture. So a lot of it was execution as well. Yeah, you didn't have all your top guys out there. Because you have less of a talent that can come up. But when you have back ups and mistakes, that's when coaching has to get it all the time. You got to do a better job of putting up your talents or they can come up for your mistakes. So last year, you got to do a better job of covering up your talents. So back there, there was an eight and three collapse, then nine and four collapse back to back years will be embarrassing. But anyway, I want the Ravens to keep that tough with the Super Bowl contending reputation. Eight and three collapse, then nine and four collapse back years will be embarrassing. I want the Ravens to keep that tough with the Super Bowl contending reputation. Super Bowl contending, they haven't had that. Do they have a Super Bowl contending reputation? If we collapse again in Mr. Playoffs this year, I think they have a competitive reputation right now. Super Bowl contending, they haven't had that. It's already damage. If we collapse again in Mr. Playoffs this year, because Ravens have not been a Super Bowl contendent. They've been competitive, but they have not been super-visionist. And if it isn't, it should be because Ravens have not been super-visionist. Anyway, he said, I'm trying to stay positive but the more negative posts and news that keep going out on the sports show, they haven't been super- Africstina, starting to make me think that last year. He said, I'm trying to stay positive but the more negative posts and news that keep going out on sports shows and social media now the really changes that's started making me think that last year. The rest of your week creep back in time. Oh shoutout to you that differentiated for us and I think they will win that can really change the outlook I think they will enjoy the rest of your week. Thank you. Shout out to you Vinny. Appreciate it. Yeah, I think I think there will be a lot of concern. I was never about the regular season. I think they'll definitely make the regular season. But we do see concern that we concern with the Raven but so many so much more concern was never my biggest concern going into the season. I expect that we concern with the Raven but we'll see if they get there. My biggest concern going into the season. My biggest issue and my biggest concern was playoff. I expect them to be doing five playoffs. What are they going to do on the playoffs? But my biggest issue and my biggest concern was yeah, this feels like a dream. No jazz but a man. You two team keep it clean. You see my boy, he like out of made it. Out of made it. Well, that's my homie ain't that right in Raven. Right in Raven. Right in Raven. Shout out to Raven.
