 Before we get into this episode of questions from subs, I got to give a special shout out to some of the newest team keeping clean channel members And you'll know who they are because they have that nice star next to their name in the comment section But anyway, shout out to DJ troupe peak, uh, Sonny Warren, uh, mr. Fox My guy Edmund Bolz. He actually became a channel member like right before the Jaguars and Ravens game I wonder if after the game you probably changes my but anyway, uh, Rodney to Juan-Gamaro and Matthew Levi so appreciate y'all. Thank you now Somebody else who be thanking the Ravens is a tight ends cuz you know Ravens like give me all the tight ends in the world I need all of them. I want all of them and I'm gonna have all of them first question Came from my guy Gareth. He said ain't Raven house things things are pretty good I appreciate you G and appreciate you being a team keeping clean patron as well He said hope you and your family are doing well. My question is with us being You say what I'm being so bad in the red zone Do you think we need to start putting three tight insets? So we would have more options for jump balls cuz a white receivers are not really tall enough. I hope this wasn't a stupid question Oh, no, it's not at all You want more options you want more diversity with your offense you want to be able to do more You should want to be able to do more Yeah, the Ravens most of their wide receivers are They're pretty short right now I mean you got the Sean Jackson and just cuz you're short on me you can't get open there Oh, and just cuz you're shorter don't mean you can still can't make plays cuz it's crazy because I'm remember Hollywood Hollywood was like what five five nine five ten. I think he was a red zone threat with him a little more Jackson They just had that chemistry and that's that's what is about the most having that chemistry But it's also about having that variety too So, um, obviously Mark Andrews is always a red zone threat always a red zone target as well Josh Oliver we saw last week. So, yeah But yeah, Charlie Cola whenever he comes back Isaiah likely When he actually know when Charlie Cola makes his debut and when Isaiah likely comes back I got those guys Nick Boyle He don't get no carries or nothing. Oh, like, yeah No, no pass attempts. I mean no no targets I'm talking about carries like here running back or something passes it. He ain't get no targets Sorry, it's um, it's early in the morning. My mind ain't functioning all the way yet Maybe cuz it's a new month I used to be in in December yet come recording this on December 1st, but I mean you're seeing this probably like Maybe on the second or the third or the fourth. I don't know when you're gonna see but anyway So yeah, you got you got a bunch of tight ends like you got a bunch of tight ends They just asked you more bridges, but I wouldn't expect him to get any any work early on Maybe like like I wouldn't expect to get anything like this first week Obviously now he literally just got here. I wouldn't really expect it a second week, either I mean, I'm not really expecting much my expectations are low I'm not my hopes are high, but my expectations are low for how they use Shamar bridges Um and Benjamin Victor he got sides too, but he just they keep on the practice clubs They like that guys they like that guys, but yeah, they certainly love their tight ends So yeah, I wouldn't be mad if they did that I mean with the way that the thing things been going in the red zone It certainly couldn't hurt and he said yes, sorry. I haven't sent in a question for a while. Shout out from Ireland I forgot to tell you this one from thanks for reading my question. Keep being great. Not oh He said not long until 60,000 and that's crazy because we um, he sent this when did he send this? Oh He sent this on December 1st So he sent this today early in the morning and we we yeah, we just like literally just hit 60,000 subscribers Yesterday so yeah channel still small, but I really appreciate all y'all for being such a big part of it Thank you for claiming welcome to another episode of questions from cells Well, you can ask me any question you want to we answered in a video just like this If you want to be part of it check the description for all of that. It's all in there. Love y'all Let's keep it going next question came from my guy Vinnie said Raven season stretch run Hey, great We hope you are doing well and having a good week Just wanted your opinion on how you feel these last six weeks of the season will progress heading down the stretch for the Ravens I'm really hoping they get back to the playoffs this he after missing out last year with all the injuries I think they certainly will I think they'll definitely be in the player Lamar Lamar's healthy I think they will definitely be in the playoffs now As of this recording yesterday, he they said he had a quad injury thinking old quad injury Let's see how that progresses, but yeah long Lamar good to go then they'll be good to go He said I think if the defense just finishes at the end of games Lamar make some fast decisions at times on the pressure with confidence I think they can finish strong within 11 and 6 record Okay, so losing two more games and winning the other ones and get to the playoffs and who knows what can happen from there I know it'll be a challenge, but I'd love to see Lamar stay a Raven for his career Oh, we certainly would I don't think it's happening But we certainly would love it He said I want him to succeed and finish this year strong leaving the Ravens no choice, but to pay him I know he hasn't had the offensive receiver weapons the last few seasons But I still believe they can get creative with tight ends to run game and make the receivers They have looked better by doing some more creative play action and Lamar just being a little faster with deciding if he's going to run or Throw during a play Let me just finish he said plus if the Ravens have a faster pace huddles and not let the play clock go down One second Lamar will be able to read differences better. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your week Let's get back on track. Yeah, hopefully the Ravens can't get back on track The quick passing game the uptempo offense those are small things that make big differences They have led to a lot of success for the Baltimore Ravens over the past couple of years But it seems that the Ravens don't want to stick with that And I always said I said every week I feel like we talk about with the uptempo offense a faster pace offense You don't got to run it 24-7 because it's about situation on stuff Like you ain't got like it would three minutes to go in a game even three four minutes to go in a game You're up by 10. You're not gonna be running no fast-paced offense No, you're gonna be taking your time But sometimes like at the beginning of the game It's a close game even if it's not a close game you trying to get points pick up the pace Pick up the pace get this thing moving now as far as um He talked about he feel like we we could be good enough with the running backs to tight ends And the receivers that we have And just getting the most used out use out of them. I mean, that's what you want But this scheme doesn't call for stuff like that not at least not consistently it just they a lot a lot with this This Ravens scheme they um It's a lot of inconsistency with it because it's like You a guy will go off a guy will be a playmaker one week then the next week It's like well, why don't we make him a playmaker again for what? No, and it's like and a lot of time just it's just it's the Ravens getting in their own way So if they can get out of their own way, oh man The sky would be the limit for this team, but we'll see we'll see hopefully they can't get out of their own way They still got time they got time. I mean to see they seven and four They seven and four could have been eight and three they but they seven and four could have been nine and two But they seven and four Could have been ten and one, but they seven and four Hold up now wait a minute buddy next question came from my guy Sam and I appreciate these new people sending in questions, too He said well, I'm engraving. Hope it all is well with you in the fam I'm just getting off work heading home and listen to your video about the possibility of Roman getting a stand for job You got to the part about a new OC likely not being able to make an impact on the passing game because of the Ravens philosophy I 100% agree largely the reason why I'm all for an entire overhaul of the front office and coaches now to the question We all heard about the anonymous tip talking about how much Roman emphasized and works heavily in the run game at practice Oh, no, that wasn't even an anonymous tip. I remember Mark Ingram. He talked about that. He said he said they work like I don't remember the exact number. He said but he said they work like on a lot of running plays all the time in practice But the passing game was sort of like an afterthought But anyway, he said do you think Roman schematic preference also has a negative effect on our secondaries in game performance Against teams with top tier receivers in a decent passing attack. Oh, that is such a great question. Wow That's a that's a great question Yeah, wow Because they're going against this basic simple offense, especially in the passing game Like it's always easy for them to cover in practice, but then when they face better quarterbacks better offenses Hmm. Wow. Oh, I like that one now They they have faced some nice quarterbacks even early on like with Josh Allen They held it down against him and with Joe Burrow. They held it down against him So but I guess consistently Because they they don't do it consistently because Trevor Lawrence When anybody think that Trevor Lawrence is this top tier elite quarterback and something like that No, but Raven sure made them look like one So, yeah, that that could actually be a part of it Wow, he said we always talk about how iron shopping's iron when the ones on offense go against the ones on defense We can't tell our receivers on getting as many reps They need because of lack of chemistry between them and Lamar, especially on deep routes I don't think many of us stop to think about how the DB's don't give me any reps to be sharp enough for quality game performance I know they are professionals But all professionals need reps during practice or training to be at a peak professional level Especially for Peters who is returning to the field after missing a whole season of football Fluck has been very hard on a secondary as they should but maybe Roman's presence is a much bigger issue than we thought Wow So I know I'm glad you mentioned catch radius when it comes to shorter receivers Decent amount of Lamar's overthrows could have been completions if the receiver had a wider catch radius Oh, you you would just he's just on fire with his whole email, man Next question came from my god William He said and great when I someone who has been a Louisville Cardinals fan my whole life I watched Lamar play for probably eight years when he was in college I never watched NFL when he got dragged into the Ravens. I love the team and I've always been excited to watch NFL every Sunday, especially the Ravens but With Lamar's contract situation the future doesn't look too hot and my consider the bandwagon if I support the team He goes to I love the Ravens and I'll probably be heartbroken if he left but I have to prepare for anything Lol, also, I love the team keeping clean community as well And hope to be able to see Lamar playing Baltimore uniform for more years to come. Hey, don't we all? Hopes are different than expectations, but don't we all Hey, and and as far as the whole bandwagon thing you feel Lamar fan Lamar fan if you're Ravens fan your Ravens fan if you just follow them all wherever he goes. That's cool too, please Don't don't let no cuz I it's some people that just they're like, oh you're a fake fan if you do this You're a fake fan if you do that or you're a bandwagon this bandwagon Who cares? Don't let nobody kill your vibe on how you enjoy watching football watching Lamar watching the Ravens watching wherever Lamar ends up going Can't nobody tell you how to be a fan can nobody tell you how to enjoy what you enjoy So you keep doing your thing and you enjoy it to the fullest next question came from a guy Dominique He said too much of the same ain't great in long-time subscriber first time right here Love what you're doing keep up the good work appreciate it Dominique He said we're just curious if you ever go back and watch all vids of yourself I stumbled across a gym of yours title is Ravens OC Greg Roman becoming a problem in Baltimore from two years ago in the video You read an article about Jiro from 2013 during his 49ers days everything everything in the article applied to the to the then 2020 Raven situation with Greg Roman sadly not much has changed even some of the game and analysis you made is identical to today's rape oh Wow actually most of the observations still remain valid today though I'm sure those same observations would not be made as optimistically as today Now I think you should go back and rewatch that vid and answer the question that you asked in the original video Is he a problem now because again long-time subscriber? I know you're gonna say philosophy is the problem But we had over a decade of winning seasons with a few bad ones sprinkled in using that philosophy and clearly Greg Roman has literally been criticized from coast-to-coast for the same deficiencies for about a decade now So is he the problem? I think you should go rewatch of it yourself before you answer that And he said a glad I finally found a legitimate reason to write in lol. Hope you have a blessed Appreciate that man. I have to go check that out now Philosophy is a big issue. I see what you're saying with Greg Roman and yet Ravens have had winning seasons without Greg Roman before that But the reason that I speak so much about the philosophy is more so because of Lamar Jackson, obviously everything runs to Lamar Jackson, but that's it literally everything runs Through Lamar Jackson runs The Ravens the reason why I speak so much in favor of the Ravens needing to upgrade their philosophy Is because they've literally wasted Years of having somebody so special at the quarterback position. They've wasted years. They have not maximized Lamar Jackson at all That's why I speak so much about the philosophy being the biggest issue with this thing Because if you and especially because we see so many other teams across the league They they find these special quarterbacks even quarterbacks that don't even seem as half as special as Lamar Jackson But these teams still be like, you know what? We're gonna go all in We're gonna get the most out of this quarterback whether we think they're good or bad We are gonna go all in to really have all of our questions answered and any of our doubts put to sleep So it but the Ravens have not done that with Lamar Jackson. So yeah, Greg Roman He is has been an issue himself, but that's why I say it's much bigger than Greg Roman It's on a much larger scale than just Greg Roman Last question on this episode came from a guy Howard. He said what's happening in Graven? I know that Greg Roman and Stanford news is the latest hot topic here in Baltimore I saw your video regarding that and I agree with you might take years if Roman leaves in whatever capacity Getting a new job or fire the Ravens will no doubt promote James Urban to be offensive coordinator You speak all the time about Harbaugh and his loyalty to his friends Harbaugh and urban work together with the Eagles. Oh Oh Well Wow, okay, he said Harbaugh and urban work together with the Eagles and coach Andy Reid brought urban in as a quarterback's coach Urban later went to the Bengals as a wire receiver coach during those years when aj green and company were killing us I say all that to say urban is more than ready for the job He learned from one of the best offensive minds and reads and knows the west coast system in and out He knows how to get high production from the wire receiver position and he would run his scheme not Romans I know all this is hypothetical at this point But what are your thoughts on my take? I don't know. I'm just If it's James urban, um, I mean right now, I'm just For me, that would be that'll be underwhelming. Um simply because He's already been under this scheme so much Uh, he Yeah, he's he's been under this scheme for a long time as a quarterback's coach So, I mean, I feel like it would be a lot of the same stuff. Yeah, he could put his own spin on it, but um I don't know. I guess we really wouldn't really know till we know. Um, I would just And it's so tricky because it was not even tricky that again philosophy I keep speaking philosophy philosophy philosophy as long as hardball is a coach It's gonna be a lot of the same but I just um If if he ended up hiring one of his friend, which is most likely he will hire one of his friends and so what not I just wish it wasn't like that. I just wish it would be somebody like On the outside somebody brand new somebody who could bring some like I know a lot of people been talking about like t-mart um I don't think you've ever been an offensive coordinator before But I actually think that um, if you're gonna hire somebody, you know, might as well be him Because he never been an offensive coordinator before. I don't think so. Um Oh, hold up No, I don't think he's been offensive coordinator before But regardless, well, he ain't been an offensive coordinator in the in the NFL before So you ain't gonna feel on him You ain't gonna feel on him And he could he obviously would be bringing something new but at the same time I keep saying whoever they hire Ravens could tell like look, this is what we do. Well, this is what we want to do This how we want our offense to look this is what we want to run This this is what the focal point is on our offense Can you do that? Will you do that? That's what we need you to do If you can't do it then if you're not gonna do it then no this ain't the place for you So I just Again the whole Greg Roman thing. Yeah, okay, Greg Roman could leave but What's really gonna change from the Baltimore Ravens once Greg Roman leaves What's gonna be is it gonna be that much of a significant change as far as the offense? I would hope I would really hope But it all it all just depends on how they go about this thing, man The the the biggest change would have to come from from Harbaugh And he would really have to be willing to adapt And if he wasn't willing to adapt When Lamar was under this cheap deal, even though I don't think Lamar is gonna be here next year Um, if he wasn't willing to adapt when Lamar was cheap Why would he adapt? Why would things change if Lamar was getting paid? Say for instance Ravens signed Lamar to this big deal Then what what's gonna change with their strategy? What's gonna change with their roster building? What's gonna change with their fallout? What's gonna change? What's gonna be different? I don't expect nothing to be different and then they could use his contract as an excuse Oh, that's uh, yeah, we can't get any more talent at the wire receiver position We can't we can't do that. We can't upgrade there so and So, I mean if James Urban ends up being the guy, we'll see um Don't my expectations they they honestly really wouldn't be too half that happen
