 First question came from my guy Marco. He said, do you believe the bingles making a Super Bowl with a young inexperience receiving core means Ravens can do the same? It's always looking forward to your video. Ooh, that's a question right there. Of course, it's always a possibility. There's always a possibility. Now I would rather them add an experienced guy just to help out because listen, the bingles chase young, I mean, not chase young, Jamar Chase, I'll be getting them to mixed up, but Jamar Chase, he was obviously an experienced. He was a rookie. T Higgins, he had a little bit of experience, but it wasn't no crazy experience. But they did have somebody in that room who had experience, not Super Bowl experience, but had NFL experience, had clutch time experience. I mean, us Ravens fans know all about Tyler Boyd. So while they did have a good amount of youth and obviously Joe Burrow is super young too, they had a good amount of youth. They still had some veterans there, Joe Mixon as well. So and then they had some guys on the defensive side of the ball too. So their receiving group is young, but they did have a mix of experience and that veteran leadership as well. And that was on both sides of the ball. So with the Ravens, they can do it. It's possible, anything's possible. But for me, with the receiver room, I would very much like for them to add somebody of significance too, to just make the group that much more dynamic, to give Lamar Jackson yet another option as a pass catcher. And I know a lot of people have made a really, really good point about the Ravens and how they feature wide receivers, or really how they don't really feature wide receivers in the offense. Of course, this offense is built, it's about the tight ends, it's about the running backs, the offensive line of course, and Lamar Jackson having to do 50 million things as well. And the receivers, they come way at the back of the list. So when some people, when you talk about adding a receiver, they're like, for what? What's the point? Why should we do it? Well, me, I would rather, much rather quality, quality, quality, quality over quantity, but you can have both, you can have both. And the Ravens, the way that this roster has been constructed, they got quality depth all across really, all across. And that's a beautiful thing, but at wide receiver, that's where the biggest question mark is, but can the Ravens do it? Could they make the Super Bowl with a young, inexperienced wide receiver room? They could. Again, like I said, it's the possibility for sure, but I would much rather the Ravens go into the season with more of a sure thing at the position. Next question came from my guy, Diego. He said, they ain't gravy and hope you're doing well and that your family is staying safe and healthy during these tough times. I appreciate that, Diego. He said, last time I submitted a question, it was on some free agent linebackers I thought the Ravens should sign. It seems the Ravens are moving towards giving Malik Harrison a second chance at a starting job. However, I feel the best option for this Ravens defense is to sign or trade for a veteran linebacker. With recent news that Deion Jones and the Falcons are seeking a divorce, what do you think about the Ravens trading if the Falcons cut him? Or excuse me, he said, what do you think about the Ravens trading or if the Falcons cut him signing Deion Jones? I would personally welcome this move considering he is only 27 and it feels like he is way older than that. Yeah, I ain't know he's 27. I ain't know that. I thought he was like maybe like 30, 31. That's crazy, man. Anyway, just wanted to hear your thoughts. Much love to you and team, keep it clean, keep up the good work and until next time, I'm out. But yeah, that's a really good question. Deion Jones, I was talking to somebody about this the other day and I wouldn't mind if they did that at all. Veteran guy, not an older veteran guy either just to help solidify that linebacking group. But I just, I wonder what his role would be, what his place would be. And I mean, I wouldn't mind if the Ravens were like, hey, sign first, ask questions later. Let's get them on the squad and we'll figure out what to do with them later on. But I just wonder like if they did that, all right, so what do you do with the Josh Bynes? What do you do with the Patrick Queen? And Patrick Queen, he could still be that Blitzen linebacker. Cause he's an excellent Blitzen. And with Patrick Queen, once he puts the whole thing together, it's going to be such a beautiful thing. And he's showing us flashes of it being a beautiful thing. But just the consistency, that's what he's got to work on the most. Being a consistent tackler, consistently getting off blocks and whatnot. But Deion Jones, I wouldn't be bad at that at all. I would like if they did that, but I just, I really don't expect them to. Next question came from Anthony. He said after the Ravens signed Kyle Fuller, which I personally loved, what do you think the Ravens do next? It's like, man, like, they, they got it. Like we talked about it earlier. They got a lot of depth at a lot of different positions, like really all across the roster, except at one. So that's why I would think that they would do something next cause they've been trying to, but they just haven't sealed any deals yet. And he said, also seeing Chuck Locke at OTA says a lot about how mature he is and it shows to me that he wants to stay. Many blessings to you and your family. It does speak to his maturity for sure. I don't think it necessarily means that he wants to stay. He could, he could not. We'll see, maybe him and them had a conversation about something we don't know, but it does speak volumes about his level of maturity. Cause you know, he's been hearing all this stuff that they've been saying. He hears all of that stuff. So I'm sure he is more than aware of it. So if he really felt some type of way and was like, Hey, you know what, not participating? I would have no problem with that. I would not have a problem with that at all. It's OTA, it's voluntary anyway. But the fact that he is there participating says a lot about Chuck Locke. Yeah, this feels like a dream. That's what I mean. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like automated, automated. Boy, that's my homie. Ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. So team, keep it clean. Welcome to another episode of NFL Questions From Subs. Seriously, you can ask me any question you want. We answer it in a video just like this. Special shout out to all our team, keep it clean patrons. Appreciate what you all do for the channel and what you all do for just team, keep it clean as a whole. We got a lot of great questions and some that we already done answered and a lot that we got to get into. So let's keep it moving. Inside noise. Next question came from a boy with Sean. He said, what's up, team, keep it clean. It's with Sean here with another question. And in this question, I will be asking about the inside noise rather than the outside noise that could have been impacting Lamar's game these past couple of years. All right, let's see what you got to say. We sometimes talk about the outside noise that could and sometimes does impact Lamar Jackson's game from time to time. But with Hollywood being traded and now knowing that he's been winning a trade for a couple of years, we now know that there was some inside noise going on and noise being told directly to Lamar Jackson himself. Hollywood has stated that he has told Lamar and has had multiple conversations throughout the years about not being satisfied being a Raven and wanting to leave. I believe all of that started after 2020 season when the soldiers were not being used. Prior to that predictable non-soldier using season, I have and I'm sure we can all recall Lamar spreading the ball well and he wasn't really forcing balls to Andrews or Hollywood as he was actually taking what the defense was giving him and living to see another down. That didn't seem like the case much in 2021. Although in the beginning of the season, Lamar was on pace to have his best year of his career and was in the MVP race once again. Something was off. Lamar wasn't always taking what the defense was giving him and he wasn't spreading the ball around. And most importantly, he was force feeding the ball to Hollywood like there was no tomorrow. Could this have been Lamar listening to the inside noise from Hollywood and that kept Lamar from playing Lamar Jackson football to keep his friend in Baltimore? That's a really good question. And you know, you ever been in a situation where you're in a group setting but one of your friends is there too. You're in this group setting. Maybe you're doing like a group project or something. You're all working on it or whatnot in school and one of your friends is in your group and he's just struggling with something. Everybody else is getting it but your friend is just struggling with something. You're like, man, he ain't getting it or she ain't getting it. All right, I gotta go the extra mile so I can help them out because I want them to be here with the rest of us. I want them to get an A on this project like we all hope to get as a group, as a collective unit. So let me go, I'm gonna spend some extra time with them, try to work on this project a little bit more than everybody else because I just, I want them to be caught up with us. I want us all to be on the same page. So you're doing that and the other people in the group, they see it and they're like, hey, what's going on? Everything okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it. But they see that you might be just a little off, just a little off because you're trying to help your friend out. And that could be the same thing that happened with Lamar Jackson. It's some really good points that you brought out about that inside noise. Hollywood, yeah, like he expressed, he told everybody he hadn't been happy for years. This was not a new thing. This was not just this year, this has been for multiple years. He wanted out, he wanted out, wanted to be gone, wanted to get traded. So of course, and he did say he expressed that to Lamar Jackson and Lamar Jackson, of course, why would Lamar Jackson want Hollywood to be traded? So Lamar could have been like, you know what? I got you. Don't worry about none of that. I got you, trust me, I got you. So that could have been a reason for Lamar, giving them the ball so much. He did throw the ball to him a lot, but at the same time too, you got to think about it, like Hollywood been making plays for Lamar ever since Hollywood's rookie year. That has been his biggest play, his biggest play receiver. Dude, it's ever since 2019. It's been Hollywood. There's been other guys here in there too, but the one who's been giving him the most has been Hollywood. And him and Mark Andrews, those have been his two guys. And he also force-fed Mark Andrews, but don't nobody complain about that. So it's a lot of the same thing with Lamar Jackson. He, yeah, he did force-feed Hollywood, but he force-fed them. It could have been because he didn't want to lose them and he wanted to make them happy, but it also could have been because that's who he had the most trust for, just like he does with Mark Andrews. But now that Hollywood is gone, you know what Mark Andrews still gonna eat, but now it should result in that ball being spread around a lot more. But he also had one more paragraph. He said, now knowing what we know about Hollywood not being happy in Baltimore, I do think that had an impact on Lamar's game. And I think that now, that he doesn't have to worry about that inside noise and keeping his friend happy, he can go back to playing Lamar Jackson football. Although there were a whole lot of other things like the old line, Gregory Lamar needed to work on some things, et cetera. That was affecting this game. I believe that the inside noise from Hollywood was definitely getting to him. What do you think? Was the inside noise getting to Lamar with Hollywood getting traded and prove Lamar's game? I'd like to hear your thoughts. That's it for me for this question from subscribers episode. Love y'all, I appreciate y'all. And just like what Hollywood said to Lamar and Lamar Ruz's ankle, I'm out. I'm telling you, you stupid man. But yeah, man. I do think Hollywood being traded, that can, it can actually help Lamar's game because yeah, like we said, now he has one less go-to guy. So now you have to go to other guys more and just him building that rapport with a pro shape, with a Bateman, with a dude, with a Tylen, with these other, and whoever else makes the roster a wide receiver, this will give them an opportunity to really be able to show themselves. And Lamar an opportunity to really be able to show himself and just for him to have big trust with his other receivers. Next question came from Elix, it's Odell Beckham Jr. They ain't great even how you and the family doing. We doing pretty good. I have your answer at wide receiver but I need you to hear though. It's Odell Beckham Jr. Let me break it down for you. We all know that Odell Beckham Jr. had a second ACL surgery. That's not his fault. I mean, if, oh okay, let me let you keep going. He says the doctor said, who did his first surgery, they messed up really bad and that it was going to tear again and that it was going to happen soon too. Odell Beckham Jr. got surgery on February 23rd, 2022, I think nine days after the Super Bowl. So that would put him at about six months to start field work like running and another two and a half months to doing wide receiver explosion drills, routes and doing his personal condition that put us closer to November, December, depending on everything going at schedule. See, the first part with that, so with Odell Beckham Jr. I love Odell Beckham Jr. And I feel like he would be, I feel like he would love to be a Raven and I feel like he would just have so much fun. But if it wasn't Odell Beckham Jr's fault, okay, cool, it wasn't his fault but it's almost like, and if the first doctor messed up, you would hope that the second doctor would clean it up and keep it clean and fix it or whatnot, but it's almost like he would be like damaged goods or something. So the first doctor messed it up and they expected the tear to happen again a second time, I don't know about that one. And with Odell, and I got to get to read and the rest of your question, but with Odell, it'd be nice. Yeah, you're going to get them later on in the season, but what does that do for you now? What does that do for you early on? And I know Rams, they got him later on in the season, but they also had a Cooper Cup. They also, well, before the season started, they had Robert Woods, but he towards ACL, they had Van Jefferson too. But like, so getting him now, you're not going to be able to really get him till later. So I just, I would rather somebody who can contribute right here right now because then you can start building the chemistry. You can start building the chemistry early. With Odell Beckham Jr, that chemistry, it's a possibility that they may never have chemistry like that. Because if he's not going to be ready till like December, that's right before playoff time. And yeah, you got a chance to build some stuff up, but if he's just going to be starting to get into the thicker things and just starting to get back into like football shape, I'm sure Odell going to try to push to go earlier, but safe instance is December. And then he just started getting right, he started doing his explosion drills and the route running and all that. Then it's like, oh, like, okay, playoffs right around the corner. Do we have time, and are you for Odell Beckham Jr? Once he was activated to the roster, who's getting deactivated? Who are you putting down for Odell to come up? Especially, and it could be somebody that has chemistry with Lamar, based off of how the years been going. So, but anyway, let me keep going. He said, if the Ravens were to sign him early and give him the playbook now so he could learn plays, Greg Roman. Oh, he said so he could learn plays. Greg Roman, when the season starts, he'll be on the physically unable to perform list until November. They have about two weeks to bring him to the active roster. I think in those two weeks, well, it's three weeks. But still, he said in those two weeks, Lamar Jackson and Odell Beckham Jr. can somewhat build chemistry. When it comes to games, they could have him on a pitch count and sometimes have Lamar look his way to so start to get, so he can start to get comfortable. So going to the playoffs, if we make it, he could benefit us in a good way. To me, the Ravens don't have a problem winning regular season games, but kinda have a problem winning the playoffs. Yes, that's true. And I think we need him more around that time more than anything. I feel what you're saying. Yeah, I feel what you're saying and I see why you're saying it. I appreciate you breaking it down the way that you did. But yeah, I would just much rather somebody right here right now. So you're not trying to work on building chemistry with a receiver at the end of the season. If you got somebody that you have that chemistry with already, then that can make the ride that much more smooth. And I'm not saying that you can't build chemistry late because again, look at the Lions. Look at the Lions, I'm so sorry. Look at the Rams, Matt Stafford Lions, that's the first thing that clicked, but look at the, how Matt Stafford and the Rams did when they added Odell Beckham, they added them later and he came through and he made some plays. He made some big time. I mean, us Ravens fans, we know, we remember that fourth down clutch catch where it was looking, just one more play. I think it was like fourth and five. It's like, one more play, y'all, come on. Then Odell Beckham Jr. got it. That Rams game, man, that, the two, what two games like really upset me the most last year? The Rams game hurt cause I just, I knew we were going to win that game. And the Packers went too. Those are two games that I just knew the Ravens were going to win. Rams and the Packers because everything was against them and I just knew like it was going to be one of them, almost like a trap game for both of those teams. Cause Ravens, they were down to their last. They were down to scraps and whatnot on this field, on a roster and the Rams and Packers, they were coming in ready, coming in heavy, two of the NFC favorites, but I just knew the Ravens were going to be able to get both of them, but anyway, Odell Beckham Jr. they were still able to get that chemistry late. So I'm not saying it couldn't happen with Lamar and them, but I just rather somebody who's impacting it right now. But yeah, you did bring up a good point about the regular season games versus playoffs. Playoffs is where we need guys to really show up and show out for sure. Because regular season is cool and it's been cool. Ravens been doing anything in the regular season, but playoffs, that's still the biggest question mark. Next question came from my guide to Sean. He says something I've been thinking about and something I don't really hear people talk about is Ben Mason. I remember we drafted him and everybody for short when we saw Project Pat was out, I for sure did, but then they cut him. But anyway, he said, but then they re-signed him. Ben went to the Patriots, hardball wasn't a fan of it. But then the Patriots cut him, then the Ravens got him back. What do you think this means? I don't even know, really, I don't know. I figured it was like one of those stay ready so you ain't got to get ready moves because they signed him back before they signed Patrick Ricard. And Patrick Ricard, they signed him to a three-year deal. So that could be a two-year deal. It could even be a three-year deal. He may make it all three years. But so with Ben Mason, it might be one of those things where they just keep him around. Maybe he's on a practice squad. Yeah, just in case Patrick dealing with injuries or something like that. So maybe they keep him around on a practice squad. He's not gonna be on an active roster. There's no way to carry no two fullbacks on an active roster. So yeah, I think it's just one of those stay ready so you ain't got to get ready moves and he can be the backup to Patrick Ricard, the Justin Case fullback. And last question on this episode came from my guy, Nick. He said, hey, hope your day is going well. I have a question, more like a vision that I want you to see. So remember, Hollywood wanted to trade and Eric said Hollywood came to him after his rookie year and said that he wanted to be traded or the year after. So listen to this, what if the Ravens already had a set in stone for Hollywood to be traded? Remember that next year we went into the draft and we got Bateman. So we already got Hollywood replacement and that's why this year, we didn't focus on the big wide receiving the draft because we already had it. So what do you think about that? Because we didn't really think about that. Sorry for the long message. Please reply to this in your next video to give our fans some insight on my vision. Thanks. I appreciate it, Nick. Yeah, that's, I think that's definitely part of it. Rashal Bateman was definitely a part of being a Hollywood replacement. And especially because of, I think really Rashal Bateman skill set because it differs a lot from a Hollywood skill set. And I feel like with a Rashal Bateman skill set, it probably matches the Ravens and their style of football better because Rashal Bateman is, he's more physical than a Hollywood Brown. So you need, obviously need that physicality if you're gonna be playing in this Ravens offense. And now that the offense is gonna, probably gonna feature Rashal Bateman as their go-to guy receiver. That's what the expectation is. He of course still got to prove it, but that's what we all expect to go down. It's gonna be different. It's gonna be different. So I do think that this was their plan though, as far as, it was said that they tried to, they wanted to get a receiver though early. It was said that they wanted to get a receiver, but everybody's just started getting snatched up. And then a little later on, they wanted to get Calvin Austin, but the stealer was like, oh, oh, Ravens won Calvin. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, let's get him. So yeah, but I mean, let's, it makes sense. It makes sense, because they drafted Hollywood in what, 2019, first round. And then they, then Boykin in the third round, and then 2020, Duvenay third round, Pro Shae, fifth to sixth round, then 2021, they say, oh, we going back into the first again. Because 2020, 2020 was the soldier's comment. That was the soldier's, and then 2021, it was Rashal Bateman. And again, Hollywood said it's been multiple years that he's asked for, he wanted to EV out. It wasn't just last year. So if it's been multiple years, that would be at least two. So that would take us back to 2020. So it would just make sense that Rashal Bateman is there to replace Hollywood. And this would allow them, and my guy, Rome, he pointed this out like a long time ago. I think this, I think like last June, because he talked about how, I was trying to find a message because I was just talking to him about it. Oh, there it goes. Because last June, or June 16th, 2021, he sent me a message. He said, I just thought about something. Every year, teams, the Ravens included, juggle the cap and let players go while signing others. Eric D'Costa will give Lamar, Jackson, Mark Andrews and others money, but with the drafting of Rashal Bateman, he doesn't have to overpay to keep Hollywood. Eric D'Costa isn't just feeling needs. He got his eyes way down the road, predicting obstacles. And we obviously know the obstacle that came was Hollywood wanting to be out. So yeah, it just makes sense. It makes sense that Rashal Bateman was there to feel the void that the Ravens expected to come upon.
