 I know I hit me out and let me explain so just a couple of minutes ago I was on Bleacher report doing a live stream and the subject of that live stream was Potential targets that the Baltimore Ravens could acquire via their draft capital whether it was rookies in the draft or Proving players so we went through a couple of rookies that the Baltimore Ravens could potentially pick But then we talked about some proven players as well and some of the proven players that we listed We talked about Marshawn Lattimore cornerback from the Saints We talked about Brandon Ayuk wire receiver from the 49ers and we then we threw in T Higgins in there We know that was not necessarily so realistic, but we threw him in there anyway But I was looking at the comment section during the live stream on Bleacher report and somebody made a very interest a couple of interesting proposals for the Baltimore Ravens to possibly acquire via trade at the wide receiver position I was thinking like what now before we get into it. I want to hear that. Oh, well, we need offensive linemen We are doing talking about why is it we know that the Ravens still need offensive linemen We're not saying that. Oh, well, just get a wide receiver and then be done with it No, so don't do that. I'm trying to kill the vibe man. Anyway, um couple people mention DK make half and And when somebody mentioned DK make half, I was like, whoa, what up now? That could really be Something because if I take you back a couple of years ago, I remember Lamar Jackson This is Lamar Jackson him tweeting himself. We know that he'd be tweeting everything from his Twitter account Lamar Jackson Okay, he tweeted DK make half is when it was looking like the Seahawks made they let me move on from him possibly maybe But Lamar Jackson he tweeted DK make half. He said look and I'm paraphrasing there, but he said You one of them guys nothing that we got some guys on our team already, but you one of them guys too. So hey Come through now it obviously didn't happen But when you really think about the possibility of a DK make half with the Baltimore Ravens Think about it. And I know a lot of Ravens fans are still upset about the 2019 draft because they feel like DK Metcalfe should have been a Baltimore Raven back then that was a draft what they drafted Hollywood Brown and With DK Metcalfe being a second round pick He was sitting there waiting ready available, but obviously the Baltimore Ravens went in a different direction Now I will say that had DK Metcalfe joined the Baltimore Ravens back then I do not think that he would be the DK Metcalfe that he is today But anyway, he is currently the DK Metcalfe that he is today and he is doing just fine And he is an amazing wide receiver somebody that we talked about years ago, but now with this new regime of The Seattle Seahawks is it possible that with the Baltimore Ravens current connection? To the Seattle Seahawks that that could make facilitating the trade Even easier. I don't know again. We just it's just an idea. So relax, but They just hired somebody who was pretty familiar with the Baltimore Ravens pretty familiar with their staff their coaching staff The owners everybody that being Mike McDonald the head coach He would just make the transaction that much easier. He really would Now I know it's a lot of people gonna say to we don't need a wide receiver We got Zay flowers, which we do great. We got Rashad Bateman question mark right there. We got Nelson Agla We got Tylen Wallace We got some receivers already But think about this and this is something a conversation that we've had to have a lot of times especially this offseason With Rashad Bateman, I know it's there You know, it's there. Well, a lot of y'all don't feel like it's there, but I do I feel like Rashad Bateman He got it. It's there. It's it's it's in them. It's just a matter of time before that potential We ain't just talking about potential anymore. We're seeing it on a consistent basis. It's there but in my opinion The Ravens they can't afford to continue to just bank on potential I Like Rashad Bateman a lot and I hope that Rashad Bateman goes out there and kills it this year Well, that's whether they pick up the fifth year option No, I just hope he goes out there and does his thing and we can really get to really see I out there He goes, that's that first round draft pick. There goes bait right there. That's what we've been waiting on this whole time, but you can't rely on it and in my opinion you cannot saying that you can't count on bait, but I Don't think it will be wise of the Baltimore Ravens to be like All right, we're gonna put all of our eggs into the Rashad Bateman Basket again not saying he's obviously not a bad player and Rashad Bateman be getting open He'd be doing this thing with him and Lamar Jackson that that connection is just it's not there yet And I know what somebody gonna say they'll say well, hold up Well, why would you bring in another wide receiver if Lamar Jackson and Rashad Bateman if that connection not even on point Yeah, why would you bring in somebody else at the same position wouldn't that mess up everything with that connection? No, it wouldn't because Rashad Bateman he been here for years and I get it and I've explained this to people before I Just it's been a timing thing with him and Lamar Jackson. I explained it again right now Rashad Bateman's rookie year Came on a scene. I was hype when we tried to Rashad Bateman. I was like, yes Oh, man, I loved it because that's exactly what I wanted the Baltimore Ravens to draft in the first round Drat the Rashad Bateman his rookie year, but then early on in his rookie year in training camp He got hurt. I think he had a groin injury and that was back then John Hall ball famous Rashad Bateman is day-to-day Yeah, right. He ended up being day-to-day. He ended up missing for months But anyway, so Rashad Bateman he missed a lot of training camp missed a lot of the offseason Missed a lot at the beginning of the regular season. So Lamar Jackson company. They were doing stuff without him So it's like, man, ah, it sucks But hopefully we get all rookie back soon He came on a scene and him and Lamar Jackson that chemistry was there because I was thinking All right. Well, we're getting Rashad Bateman back. We ain't really gonna do too much No, he came on a scene every catch was like a first down and he was doing all this stuff making all these plays and stuff Hey, there you go. Let's go but then Lamar Jackson got hurt and That messed everything up So then the following season of Rashad Bateman He was dealing with something during the offseason Lamar Jackson. He got back healthy So he was there during the offseason, but Rashad Bateman was dealing with something and they just the chemistry just it was a little bit off but then About a month and changing to the season where Rashad Bateman, I think he had like a foot injury. I think that's what it was He had a foot injury so then After he played like maybe a couple snaps in that Bucks Ravens game because we had went to that game fun game Glad the Baltimore Ravens one did a thing lots a lot of Ravens fans out there We had a blast great fun stadium to shout out to the DJ They got the best DJ in my opinion in the NFL. I even in many NFL stadiums. So maybe I can't say that but anyway That game against the Bucks Rashad Bateman played a couple snaps came off the field. He was done And then a couple days later. Oh, whoa Rule and we're ending Rashad Bateman season. He's elected to have a surgery that he's gonna so you can be ready for next year So, okay. Well, that certainly doesn't help chemistry So then the following year Lamar Jackson Rashad Bateman they both healthy Well healthy for the offseason, but then Rashad Bateman, he would be missing a lot of practices and stuff I think they said he had like back issues. That was something he was but he was hurt this past offseason So he ended up missing a lot of time and then he ended up missing some games in the regular season, too So I just felt like with him and Lamar. They just Timing has been thrown off with they flowers. Oh that connection is there for sure With market obviously mark Andrews a connection there, but even with Isaiah likely what Isaiah likely is there too Like that is something it's just something different when it comes to those guys Versus Rashad Bateman is just something different and it may be something other than the injury But the injuries and the time that they've missed apart from each other that certainly doesn't help It's not the end all be all but it certainly hasn't helped the situation But this is why I'm saying that in my opinion the Baltimore Ravens should help the situation at the position To bring in somebody established bring in somebody who is like that already And you can still keep Rashad Bateman still hope that he continues to grow But make that position even stronger now with a DK Metcalf You look at the production miss is there DK Metcalf don't do nothing but produce like we we already know that like Look at these numbers just for fun 2019 58 catches 900 yards seven touchdowns. That was his rookie. Yeah, this is rookie. Yeah Then his sophomore season 83 catcher 1300 yards 10 touchdowns. So again the production is that ain't worried about a production 2021 75 catches 967 yards 12 touchdowns. So his yards drop his catches drops his touchdowns win up average drop a little bit to 2022 90 catches 1048 yards six touchdowns 2023 66 catches 1100 yards eight touchdowns. So it's there the production is there now I would not expect it. Oh, well 66 catches and 1100 yards Ain't bad at all. Hey, that will be perfect for the Baltimore Ravens What I was getting ready to say but DK Metcalf and the and really both more is all I wouldn't expect him to get Crazy numbers like he's getting I wouldn't expect I would expect his production to be a lot different To where the catches go down and the yards may go down a bit too But the average goes up, you know Lamar Jackson gonna throw them deep balls But and then with DK Metcalf, there's the yak too But with DK Metcalf when you think about the potential of somebody like him on this Baltimore Ravens offense You think about one of the biggest words that I think about is attention attention DK Metcalf would command and demand attention and respect So many Ravens fans been talking about this office. He's all we need to extra see what we need to extra see what we need to extra see There you go All yours. Well, not all yours. He's all Seahawks right now But he would be just great. He just be such a great fit and then Another thing back to Bateman and also DK Metcalf to The element of the backyard football the element when everything breaks down. What do you do? Because that is so important. Obviously not every single player is gonna be backyard football and we get that You're gonna have to have time and routes. You're gonna have to have scheduled stuff We get in that's important. That's part of football. It's part of being a quarterback That's why being a receiver or pass catcher in general because you got tight ends or running backs all that but When everything breaks down When things ain't going right Hey, what are you gonna do? Who can you count on? And we saw last year. Yeah, he did fumble at the gold line We get it But we saw last year rookie year Say flower stepped up He really and yet with one play that he messed up on Doesn't change that he was phenomenal last year He had a great season last year And we get it the the biggest thing that people remember is obviously the negative because it happened at the worst possible time It sucked bad But say flowers was amazing for the Baltimore Ravens last year And he was a rookie It's rookie And even with how great he was there were opportunities that they missed Because there will be times when they flowers be wide open And Lamar missed them sometimes A lot of times I always ain't flowers be open Lamar got them, but there were opportunities that they missed And we get it like there's gonna be every quarterback gonna miss So I ain't got here saying oh man. Well, Lamar no no every quarterback they miss But I'm just emphasizing how great of a season That he had and how big his impact was on these Baltimore Ravens But again, you imagine pairing that With a dk mad cat. Oh I wouldn't be mad at that at all
