This is the very first episode of NFL Questions from subscribers after the crazy, dramatic, just stressful, but a happy win that they got against the Indianapolis Coastal Monday Night Football from the crib. I love y'all. Y'all brought some fire questions like y'all do every single time. Let's do it. First question came from my guy, Lee P, and appreciate you being a patron, Lee. He said, Lo and Graven, blessings to you and the family. Question, I know he's still young in his career, but does LeMau make the Ravens Mount Rushmore? I've got Ray Lewis, Ed Reid, Jonathan Ogden, and I'm torn between LJ and Suggs for that fourth spot. Well, say you, also, what are your top five LeMau Jackson games with his career thus far? Oh, wow. This is a loaded question. When LeMau wins the Super Bowl, he'll be there for sure. Right now, I mean, it all depends on your preference. If you feel like he's somebody, if you feel like he's somebody since his impact has obviously been super crazy with the Ravens. If you feel like he can go on there right now, okay, cool. And if you feel like, no, it's a little too early. Okay, cool. Me? I don't even know. I'm like right in the middle. LeMau, like he has like the impact again, the impact is crazy. What he's brought to this team as far as play, as far as attention, as far as the vibe, it's just, it's wild. But for Mount Rushmore right now, man, it's tough. I would say a very, very, very tough no right now. But you know, with everything that he's been doing, he is well on his way. He's well on his way. Now Ravens mess around and get a Super Bowl this year. Oh, hey, LeMau, you go ahead and you have a little seed at Mount Rushmore for the Ravens. Anyway, the second question. Top five LeMau Jackson games with his career thus far? Well, in no particular order, it's just off the top of my head. One of them will definitely be last night's game. Because last night, it just proved just so much, man. And he clutched it out. Another one would be this year against the Chiefs because it was like they finally did it. They finally did it. They finally got over that hurdle that they just haven't been able to get over for so long. Another one would definitely be week one 2019 against the Dolphins. The five touchdown special. Another one would probably be against the Rams in 2019. That money night football game because that was a game where I just I'm like, man, these Rams Aaron Donald and them I'm just I was worried about that game big time. And a fifth one. I don't know, man, this is tough. I might go with the Seahawks game, the Ravens versus Seahawks. I definitely picked them to lose that when I said that they were going to lose by at least 10. They were going to lose by at least two scores. And they proved me all the way wrong. And that was just such a big turning point, not only for that season, but I think really for the Ravens as a whole for Lamar Jackson's career, just that confidence boost. Oh, another one to will be the game against the 49ers in 2019. The bill is almost really good in 2019 against the bills. It's a lot, man. But to really consolidate it down to five, that would be really hard for me because y'all know I hate top five next question came from my guy Leonard, who's also a patron. Appreciate it. He said, I ain't graven hope all this well with you and fan big shout out to Carter. So my question is, since we so strapped for cash any word on that 10 mil from our Thomas, I think our D might need a little help. Yeah, the defense has been they've been strange this year because again, you got to think about last night in the coach game, the offense didn't help them out for the longest. They didn't help them out. If the offense would have been what the offense was early on, then the defense would have been in much better shape, I think, but they the defense held the coast to 10 points in the first half. 10 points. That's it. That's good. 10 points. But then but they were getting like the 10 points is kind of misleading. But I mean, at the end of the day, points is what matters the most. But the offense, the coast offense was moving the ball on them literally all day long, all day long. But yeah, we haven't heard anything about that grievance where old Thomas yet. So yeah, that 10 mil is looking like it's going to be taken from the Ravens, I think next year. Next question came from my boy, Mike, and who's also a patron. Appreciate you, Mike. He said, ain't great. But how are you doing during these nail biter games? Same way we are doing just a little bit crazy. You got to be a little bit crazy to deal with these games on a consistent basis like this. He said, Lamar continues to impress and the passing game looks fantastic. However, I do have concerns about injuries and defense. I think we all have concerns about both of those too, especially the latter. He said, what do you think our guys have to do to fix the defense? Do we need to bring in Ray Lewis and Adry for coaching? What are your thoughts? It's just fundamentals. Straight up, fundamentals. Tackling. Tackling, tackling, tackling. I think that is the biggest issue with this Ravens defense is poor tackling. That's it. They remember how to tackle again. They get back to the basics. Then I think they'll be in much better shape. Next question came from my guy, John, who's also a patron. Appreciate you, John. He said, A, and Graven, I hope you're having a blessed day. I just finished seeing your video on the expectations that we should have as Ravens fans for Rashad Bateman. I believe it's going to be a similar process that J.K. Dobbins went through. He said, he didn't start right away and was slowly integrated into the offense until he was ready. The way our receivers are playing, getting open, does allow for the Ravens to slowly integrate Rashad Bateman into the offense. What do you think? That's a very good observation that you make with that because since our receivers are doing so well right now, since our passing game is doing so well right now, that alleviates a lot of the pressure that will be on a first round draft pick Rashad Bateman to have to come in and be the savior for the offense. He doesn't have to do that. So that makes his job that much easier and allows him to ease his way in instead of having to jump in and be like, all right, I'm ready to save the day. So thank you, Titi and Kiki and Jiro for all working well together. Next question came from my guy Raven Pride, who's also a patron. Appreciate you. He said, what's going on in Raven? I hope you and your family are on good health. I wanted to comment on the NFL about giving Adafi a way of fine for the hit on Teddy Bridgewater. This was totally an unfair punishment and I believe we have time and time made complaints about all the late hits on Lamar and nothing has been done about it. The NFL has proven they will continue to target the Ravens for anything they feel they can. Also, the NFL has no respect for the city of Baltimore because they have plotted to not return football back to a city that was having a heavy crime rate. They continue to pray on the city that has one of the strongest fan bases in the NFL. So the hit with Adafi away, he did make contact with the helmet and I think the fine was just more so not even necessarily an attack on Adafi away. I just think it was just a warning shot because it wasn't a malicious hit. It wasn't like it was an intentional hit. It wasn't targeting anything like that. It's just one of those things that happen. A bang-bang play if it happens in football. So I think the fine was more so not an attack on the Ravens anything like that. I think it was just like hey you can't do that. It's just a little light fine for you. Just don't do it again. Just just try to be careful. You know it is football so it's hard to be careful in football. But as far as everything else, it's crazy because again in last night's game against the Colts they actually had Carter roughing the passer on Lamar Jackson and when when they called it I just I couldn't believe it. I know a lot of y'all couldn't believe it either. So maybe things are starting to finally turn around. Next question came from my guy Grant who is also a patron. I appreciate you Grant. He said, and Graven, has there ever been a team in the NFL history that had three defensive players of the year on the same team at the same time? I with Ray Lewis, Ed Reid, and Terrell Suggs. They all had been in a defense and in 2012 because Suggs won it the year before. Just wanted to know the answer to that. That is a a very good question and I don't know that because that's tough. Like on the same team at the same time? I don't think so but I don't know because like initially the reason I would say I don't think so because like teams have obviously had different defensive players of the years but to have all three of those guys be able to still play together. That's something right there. So I don't think so but I would have to double check. Next question came from my boy Brandon B. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope all is well with you and the fam. Now do you think after the Coast game we can start to say Hollywood is the best Ravens receiver of all time? I know there's a bit of a stretch saying this since he's only in his third season but he's been playing outstanding so far this season and he's on pace to break 1,000 receiving yards and possibly more. Thank you and hashtag team keep it clean. Now when you say Ravens best receiver of all time for this you have to be pretty specific because some people could say that's Derek Mason. Some people could say that's Anquan Boda and I think when you say that you mean maybe the best Ravens drafted receiver of all time and when you think about that and you think about a lot of guys that they've been through the Tandon Dals, the Clarence Moors, Demetrius Williams, Mark Clayton, Travis Taylor, Brashad Perryman. There's Miles Boykin two more recently guys like Duvenay and Proshay. And I mean the list it goes on but when you talk about the receivers that they drafted that's a conversation that we could have isn't it? Yeah like you said it is very early but and then there's Tori Smith of course too can't forget about Tori. But yeah that's the conversation that we could have and it's something when you like initially when you hear it best receiver of what? But then when you think about it it's like hold up yeah we gotta have this talk. The next question came from my guy Solomon. He said I ain't graven amazing game one question from it though. I understand we've had so many injuries and struggles by individual players like Anthony Everett, Patrick Queen and Malik Harrison but do you think there might be an issue with Wink's scheme? Maybe our incredible running game and time and possession from past seasons helped cover issues with his defensive scheme and play calling. I do agree with that part that the great offense it helps out the defense a lot because if your offense they putting up all these points over and over and over again then that makes it easier for your defense and that makes the opposing team's offense if they're not putting up points like your offense that makes them one-dimensional so it makes everything run that much smoother. But anyway it's easy to be aggressive on defense when your offense is consistently or constantly milking the clock and giving the opposing offense is less drives to work with. This year showing that we haven't been able to adjust defensively at all. Can't be all due to missing Peters and Fort. So is it the issue with Wink's scheme? His scheme is obviously very complicated. It is very blitz heavy it is very aggressive. I don't think it's the biggest issue. I think the biggest issue is just fundamentals really. We said it earlier but Ravens have not been tackling well. They haven't been tackling well because I mean we look at games like early on in games like the Raiders game even in the Chiefs game they got some nice stops on it on the Chiefs. In the Lions game they were holding it down with the offense was what just took forever to wake up and then of course all the drops and stuff. The Broncos game they held it down for all game except literally just one drive and that was it but the rest of the game they held it down. So it's just it's one of those things where when things are working they're working when they're not they're not. But overall this year it's been it's early on it works but then as the it feels like teams are adjusting to Wink's scheme. That's what it seems like to me. It seems like in the second half of games teams are like okay let's fix this let's fine tune that. Oh let's do this and it's been working and with Wink's scheme it seems like like there's been a lack of adjustment sometimes. So it's it's something to just monitor hopefully it's just a quick little five game problem and then for the rest of the games would be good to go but it is something that is a bit concerning but now the injuries they do definitely help with make it with they help with the Raven struggling. Because again Marcus Peters your number one corner is out well your number two corner one A1B whatever he's out. L.J. Ford very smart inside linebacker he's out. So you that's a problem but I don't know I don't know I think it's something that we just got to watch for moving forward and just hope that again like I said that the adjustments that's the biggest thing with me that when the opposing team when they adjust to what you're doing then you got to make sure you adjust even better and they did that and something like I said the Broncos game they they took care of business throughout except that one drive but in a cheese game they what was it that they didn't give up any second half points or no no points in the fourth quarter I forgot what it was whatever it was but that showed that adjustment right there so it's just it's it's important that Wink find what his weaknesses are what the team's weaknesses are and just really work on them again my my thing their biggest weakness to me the the running backs catching passes out of the backfield that is a killer for Raven's defense all day every and just screens in general too even wide receiver screens tight end screens screens have been killing the Ravens for a long time so that and just again fundamental stuff tackling screens screens and tackling with tackling the screen because I would put tackling as number one but as far as scheme stuff because tackling is not scheme scheme thing but I would say uh yeah definitely the screens and sometimes just situational play calling I'm not one of the people that can be like alright Wink you need to stop blitzing don't blitz at all don't blitz no you can't do you can't do that it's situational football man so sometimes you should blitz sometimes you shouldn't but just knowing the right time to dial it up and the last question on this episode a question from subs came from gave you said a engraving how you're doing I'm good I'm good hope you're doing good too so I got a question about our run defense going into the coast game we had all of our starters on the defensive line going up against a banged up offensive line and yeah I was saying it on the stream that I didn't even know that Quentin Nelson was out I had no idea that he was out and they still ran all over us they controlled that game yeah it's a big yikes anyway he said that being said the Colts still managed to run the ball down our throat to me are usually a top run defense do you see this as a concern for the future yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and he said is a solution to activate Josh Bynes or maybe signing trade for a linebacker hope this wasn't too long let's go Ravens oh man um Josh Bynes he he could help but I don't even think it's I don't even think it's something that we could just go out and get some player for um I think it's got to be something that just happens from within with people that are already here um and it's about just wrap up tackling wrap up tackling and because if you if you fail to do the basic stuff if you can't do the basic stuff well then when you get to the complicated stuff you're definitely not going to be able to do that either because it starts with the basics so Ravens got to get that in order and then this defense they'll really be able to just take it up notch by notch every week shout out to Raven
