 Yeah, a Super Bowl is only one trade away First question came from my guy Jared L. He said engraving my question is what would you give up for a DK? Metcalf, I love it already. I love it already. I love it What would I give up for DK Metcalf? I give up a first. I give up a second And I probably give up a first in a second and the reason that I would is because I want to give up too much now Because we would be alleviating a lot of pressure off of those Seattle Seahawks reason being because This contract time, baby, and you want to get something rather than nothing, right, right? And then this would give Lamar an established and Establish big big time playmaking out to wide outside wide receiver Now I see a lot of people say oh man Lamar Jackson, he only throws inside the numbers. He only throws to the tight ends Where are his best passcatchers? Who are his best passcatchers? Who are his biggest targets? Who are his targets that have the most possibility to win those one-on-ones those jump balls? Who are they? But Lamar still threw outside the numbers as well, but now if you gave him a DK Metcalf That would be the most established Why outside wide receiver that he had ever had and then on top of that you would still have her a sharp Bateman You just help make everybody's job so much easier like that So I would love this move. I ain't even got to finish the rest of your question I would love it, but let's continue because you got a lot more to say he said now Oh, see I should have waited because he said now before you answer that Before boy already done answer, but anyway, he said now before you answer that I want you to keep this in mind The Ravens have had four first-round selections in the past two drafts alone They are an extremely deep team at multiple positions and in my opinion are in good shape to come up off for some of them draft picks I Agree love you Jared. I think it's hilarious that Ravens fans pay a bunch of money for a team merchandise tickets to games And even cable satellite and streaming service subscriptions just to watch Ravens games But in turn act extremely bullish when it comes to paying up for big talent Steven Shaddy is worth almost six billion not million six billion dollars up almost two billion since Lamar has joined the team Not saying there's a correlation, but hey the jig is up There is a correlation. It ain't no coincidence Lamar has gained the Ravens a significant amount of money Significant because he is must-see TV and he is all must-see QB better pay him his money to anyway He said not saying there's a correlation, but a the jig is up Mr. Lamar doesn't think he deserves a new contract till he wins a Super Bowl now that part that is false because we We spoke about that Last week a week before last he didn't say that that was mr. Bishat. Oh, no, no, no, okay. I see what he's saying Okay, he's he's talking to Bishat here. Okay. I see what you did there He's saying the jig is the jig is up Mr. Lamar doesn't think he deserves a contract till he wins a Super Bowl. So he's quoting Steve Bishati there. Ah You see you almost got me, but that was good. I like that DK Mack happens everything we need in a wide receiver Speed size jumping ability takes the top off a defense wins jump balls He'll take pressure off of our other weapons and not only make the Raven Super Bowl contenders with Super Bowl favorites. I agree Raven like you mentioned Ravens have so many depth in so many other places So much depth in so many other places Except why I receive that's the only one That's only place Thanks, I'm outside line back as far as past Russian stuff, but Why receive a man? He said again if you in EDC shoes, what would you give up for DK Metcalf? And what would you give him a would you give him a contract similar to AJ Browns? And he said, thank you. I Love this. I Love this so much Y'all know how I feel but you you brought up some great points As far as the reasons why why it just it makes so much sense and again the conversation is always Oh, we can finally give all young guys a shot This one stopped them from getting a shot and this would give the Ravens depth depth depth depth depth depth So much Ravens fans that they love the depth in so many other places So many other positions But every time you speak about why I see you even think about why receive before you say anything Even if you think about why receive so many reasons like stop it Stop it right there. We've got to give all young guys a shot now Gotta do it You bring a DK Metcalf young guys are still getting a shot. They still are still gonna get a chance Now some guys are gonna move down on a depth chart again Just to be straight up as y'all know but guys are still going to get a shot man They still gonna get a shot But he would make though he would give the Ravens a bigger shot He would give the Ravens a bigger shot of being Super Bowl contenders not just being the playoff team but being legitimate Super Bowl contenders and There would be less question as far as How far can this Ravens team go They get somebody like him I'm all in I'm all in it. I'm saying hey Ravens could really do this thing now And it's possible they could do it now without him, but it's just so much unknown But with the D add in a DK maker Like again size speed and playmaking ability Lamar Jackson has not been given somebody that has all three at wide receiver size speed and playmaking ability Hollywood has speed and he of course made a plenty of big plays Didn't have the size though. So there was there were limitations there Lamar still made it happen with him But there were some limitations there That ball for Hollywood if the ball has to be put like the perfect spot Seth Roberts Really snee wasn't a really no outsider. It's there's Brian Sammy Watkins Sammy Watkins decent size decent speed to He could make some plays, but he couldn't play because he was always hurt So that this would give I'm with it next question came from my boy Marco G and I appreciate you being a patron Marco He said what's good engraving it's your boy MG I think the Ravens are fleecing the NFL and I don't mind it at all The way they're doing it is they're upgrading the non premium positions like old line tight ends and the running back group and therefore upgrading and improving the wide receiver position by proxy in an indirect way Oh, yeah, I've seen I've seen the video that's been going around by FTC I forget the second part of the YouTube channel name But um, I've seen that video and they did a phenomenal job putting that video together And then of course it it came from an article that was written in the article did if it was put together good, too But for me I steals and yeah Ravens They they value these other positions that the NFL doesn't value But they still get some playmakers from them like tight ends offensive line or safety Line but all that stuff and again, it was a phenomenal video great points, but What has that got them what have they won what have the Ravens accomplished recently Really over the past what nine ten years? What have they gotten? That's my question They made some good points again in both the video in the article about the Ravens fleece in the NFL What have they got have they fleeced their way to a Super Bowl? No They have gotten some great players and it also talked about they know when the let players walk and whatnot and But what has it gotten them have they had true success? Have they? You can answer that question yourself Anyway, he said defensively they upgrade the safety position and bring in versatile safeties that can play safety slot corner and nickel or dime linebacker Essentially paying them to do and play two or three different positions nowadays quarterbacks on 45 to 50 mil a year And you give your quarterback what he wants especially if their name is Lamar All I'm about that action Jackson However, instead of dropping 25 to 30 mil on one receiver. Thanks to Devante Adams and Tyreek Hill You sprinkle that on other positions and once again make the receiving core better by proxy do you Because the those those names you mentioned they They just know average names. They ain't no average name. They ain't just a bunch of random players man But anyway When you improve the offensive line Lamar can effectively throw the ball in the running backs can find gaps to run through Therefore making the running game respectable and forcing the defense to stack the box when you have three tight ends who can play like receivers That also forces the defense to stack the box due to the possibility of a run and as a result Receivers should have better opportunities to make plays since the attention isn't on them in baseball What's the difference between a single and a walk? I don't know I don't know much baseball terminology, but I'm sure you're gonna break it down He said both gets you first base, right? I still fully believe the Ravens need quality depth at the receiver position They just don't need to cripple their salary cap if they can do it in a different way your thoughts on that Thanks again for the content in peace You don't have to cripple your salary cap by investing quality Over quantity and again like we talked about in the previous previous question This is all those other positions Ravens find a way to make it happen They always find a way to make it happen with quality guys to Quality guys But then at receiver that's when all the the biggest question marks come up and even amongst Ravens fans too Oh, man, they think about oh, we shouldn't give up this for that guy. Oh, we can't afford that guy Oh, he's gonna cost to it is only for wide receiver people don't do that for any other position ever It's always at wide receiver. It's the same The same concerns The same wonders the same thoughts and I think Ravens fans. They've been so conditioned To think that receiver isn't important It's true Ravens fans have been very conditioned to think that the wide receiver position is not important Because of the way that the Ravens have built the team over the years and what they've done But again that first Super Bowl with that historic defense that was that was defense often offense God, they had to make a little play here in there, but offense was chill They're like we cool defense was doing everything the one is Super Bowl amazing great job great job And they needed to play here and they on offense special teams and whatnot, but defense that was them second Super Bowl they had three Playmaking wide receivers and a playmaking tight end actually one and two to play making tight ends because Ed Dixon he was doing his thing and For he was actually doing this thing before Dennis Pitter was but then it ended up flip-flopping and so like Not really like Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews because it was a lot quicker for Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews to flip-flop But it was doing this thing before Dennis Pitter but anyway That Super Bowl year Yeah, I mean it I feel like it's in the coincidence that their last Super Bowl year They had three significant playmaking wide receivers Is it? and Juan Bolton Tori Smith and Jacoby Jones And they had a playmaking tight end and Dennis Pitter And they had a playmaking running back in Ray Oh, right right. They had a little squad man Ravens had them squad and then they had players that may play don't may plays on defense too And that was back in 2012 Like nowadays like you you got to have significant playmakers man and not just at the tight end position And your quarterback should not be doing everything. Excuse me everything all the time She had more playmakers man Playmakers make everybody's job easier There's been so much talk about Joe Burrow recently how great Joe Burrow is and Joe Burrow is a baller to me That boy can play he can play But a lot of people feel like with Joe Burrow Jamar Chase makes Joe Burrow overrated And initially when I see that I'm like, oh, why you say that but they'll be like a Jamar Chase Take a five-yard slant He'll take it 60 Because of so much of what he does as far as yak What he does after the catch why because he's a playmaker at the wide receiver position. It's a playmaker And in my opinion, you need those guys You need those guys Look at Cooper Cup Look at Odell Beckham, Jr. Look at Stefan digs Okay, even gate Davis one look at of course Tyreek Hill and I bring up those names because those are guys who've been in the playoffs recently been in the Super Bowl recently Because they're playmakers at the wide receiver position Again Ravens have conditioned fans to think that the wide receiver position isn't important when it certainly is their last Super Bowl came when they had Playmakers at that wide receiver position It is extremely important. It is extremely valuable and it continues to be it continues to be I Know they don't want to pay big money to wire receiver. I know they don't want to But it it is still a extremely valuable position next question came from my guy Kevin The owner of Kentucky Cobbler shot out to him by the way He said I have a question and a statement Why doesn't Greg Roman have a simple in-game adjustment for when opponents have an answer for the pistol offense all 22 great interview By the way, shout out to my guy all 22 Is one of the only fans besides myself that has been saying Lamar needs to bootleg with his back to the defense I would go even further with it and I'd run the stretch offense that Peyton Manning's Colts offense mixed with San Francisco's zone block run offense and would still keep the pistol offense, too I'd also focus on the tight ends like the Patriots did when they had Aaron Hernandez and Gronk We don't need another receiver Bateman your tight ends running game and good defense will win you a Super Bowl We go see we're gonna see I hope so. I hope so This is a set a two-year run for the Super Bowl Look at your young players mix with your vets and everyone fits perfectly for a two to three-year run for the Super Bowl I Think like with with the Ravens offense Yeah, he did bring that out because in the pistol He can't fully turn his back to the defense And that that lessens the chance that the defense gets confused on if it's a run or a play action or whatnot Add in plays under center What would help so much? Because that then he could truly turn his back to the defense and catch them slipping But the Ravens they just need more variety again. I know Greg Roman he brought up. I think it was last year or the year before last that Lamar was gonna be running more plays on the center I think he ran maybe about five of them But some of y'all brought up some really good points to talk about well the offensive line They weren't good at all last year So if he would have ran plays on the center He would have been on his back in like two seconds because that offensive line would not be able to hold up in protection for him Okay, cool. Well this year they invested in that offensive line. So hopefully hopefully hopefully hopefully They can run more plays under center. They can do more formations. It's not just this pistol offense and that's it They can do they can just do more because when you can do more It when you can have more variety, especially as an offense and then you mentioned in-game adjustments, too That could take these guys such a long way such a long way And it's it's feel like it's just simple things man And ain't got to be anything overly complicated the things that you got to think about to know it's some simple fixes Simple fixes just a little king here king there cuz we know that this offense they produce yards. They produce points, too But it's these these situations that they get in and it's like What are we doing? What's going on? It seems like they over complicate things a lot of times and I was just talking to my guy about this yesterday And I didn't even have nothing to do with football But I'll tell my guy JT like man. Why do we? I just as people as humans sometimes we just we can over complicate things and they can be these simple solutions these simple fixes That can be so effective But we can over complicate and overthink things the same thing applies to offense He said last thing oh good timing too based off of the previous two questions and what was brought up He said last thing Lamar doesn't need a big-time receiver. I'm from Louisville and watched him in college He just needs a very good offensive line and some ballers around him like J.K. Dobbins Bateman likely Edwards and look out for Beatty ball of prediction. See That's the thing. I see what you're saying and I know you watched him Again shout out to Kentucky Cobblers again, and I've seen it said to a lot of people also bring up 2019 they like a look at his receivers then look at how they were look at what they did Yeah, look at how he did MVP 36 and 6 at the league and touchdown passes Phenomenal 14 it's And he had a good offensive but think about this How great he did in 2019 he did a phenomenal job they did a phenomenal job and With how great the offense was it made the defense's job that much easier think about this Wouldn't you want the offense to be that much greater and you just talked about it yourself as far as the end game adjustments and different things that they could do if you have more Playmakers on offense Especially at the receiving position It will allow you to do more Defenses, you know, they're gonna be trying to take away Mark Andrews He's still gonna do his thing, but they gonna be doing that next up They're gonna try to take away Bateman. Why not have somebody of significance Opposite Bateman to to get to make your offense that much more powerful Why not? Why do we have to like settle and be like all right Lamar don't need that He don't need that. He'll be good. All he needs is an offensive line and Then watch him go to work. Why not give him the offensive line like it seems like the Ravens have and give him another playmaker Why not? I Just don't feel like we should just be like alright. Hey, that's all Lamar Jackson needs. He could do the rest No, give this man ballers and watch him do even more last question on this episode came from a boy Justin C say what's up in Graven? How you in the fam doing? Oh, we doing really really good, man I appreciate you. He said what do you think about Kyle Hamilton going against his former teammate chase Claypool not once But two times a season. Oh, they they were on the same team at the same time because how long chase Claypool been out he been out for At least two years. It hasn't been three though because Boykin came out in 2019 so 1921 so this Boykin's fourth year and working up by the way is on the stealers Don't forget that. Um, and if it's anything that could really draw out the talent of a wide receiver It's them. So that should be fun. But anyway, um chase Claypool. He's been out for I Want to say to Man Kyle Hamilton this obviously his first year. So you've been a Okay, yeah, maybe they were teammates for like one or two years. I'm not sure but He gonna have to bring it You're gonna have to bring it. It's against Chase Claypool is against Miles Boykin was again whoever whatever team they go against He gonna had to bring it, but he will definitely be put in There's gonna be a big spotlight on it. It's gonna be a huge spotlight on them, but for Kyle Hamilton The benefit of him the benefit for him is that he has a lot of other talent on defense around him and That can make his job that much Easier get it. See easy. See that Kyle Hamilton. He has a lot of other. He's talent. Listen, he's talented himself But he also has a lot of talent around him Therefore making his job that much easier Therefore taking pressure off of him to make his job that much less stressful and that much easier You see how it works on defense It can work on offense too, but anyway, he also said How do you feel about Dalen and Kyle being on the same team again and keep up the good work and stay safe? Appreciate you. Oh Dalen Hayes Dalen Hayes is somebody that I don't I feel like I don't talk about enough Because I feel like with him he has a big opportunity right now Last year preseason. He looked good. He looked good. And again, I know some people Oh, it was just preseason. Well, if he looked bad in preseason, it'd be a different conversation but he looked good and If he can stay healthy, he has a big chance to do some things this year We'll see what happens with Justin Houston Bowser coming back from McKinley's a job or coming back from McKinley's too He has a chance to do some things this year. They talked about him at minicam but OTA's and stuff said he was looking Excuse me said he was looking good there and a I know some people could be oh, it's just many came It's just OTA as well. He's off to a good start So of course now the pass getting ready to come on in about a month So we're gonna see but he has an opportunity to really do some stuff this year And even in his I think he only played like one game last year against the Lions. He looked good even made a play but I just um I'm looking forward to him Dalen Dip Hayes again shout out to my guy Haitian sensation because he came up with that name and it stuck It stuck Dalen Dip Hayes cuz he got that little dip move man that swim move and it's like ooh So if he can stay on the field, I'm excited to see him
