Thank you for the people that watched the Madden live stream earlier that we did today and thank you just for everybody continuing to show support and show love despite the guy who makes videos with a busted lip from his son. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Let's get straight into these questions. First question came from our boy Kevin. He said, why is it after half a season people critique Lamar Jackson for his wobbly throws? When it took Joe Flacco 10 seasons to not throw off his back foot and he was still doing it. But anyway, he said Joe Flacco is still my guy but people gotta lighten up on Lamar Jackson. Yes, it's just the way that everything went down. The way that everything went down a lot of people they just, and it happens not just with Ravens fans but it happens with a lot of fans of different teams but big time with Ravens fans they don't like giving guys chances. They are not patient. They just want results right here, right now, and if you ain't cutting it right now then you're out of here. We're not going to be patient with you. We're not going to give you an opportunity. If you ain't cutting it, buy it. And with Lamar with some of the passes that he was throwing last year, yeah they weren't on the money. Some of the passes that he was throwing last year. They definitely weren't on the money. But I think with Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson, it's just how everything went down. I think that plays such a big role in this whole thing and just the over-analyzing and over-critiquing of Lamar Jackson because some, again, like we talked about, some people are just going to look for any little thing. Some people will not be satisfied. There are some people who actually, they just do the unbiased critiquing and they just give honest opinions, but for some people it's fueled by hating. It's fueled by them not wanting Flacco to have been exiled, I guess, so to speak. But that's just the target that he has on his back. That's how it's going to be. And it's up to Lamar Jackson, the Ravens coaching staff and the offense and everything like that. It's up to them to shut a lot of people up. They got the tools to do it. They just got to execute, put it on the field. Next question came from a guy down the wheel. He said, do you think Lamar Jackson's fumbling issues was from him being nervous in his beginning starting role and he wasn't comfortable yet? And will this year look a lot better? So I think that did play a part, too. That played a part, but he also talked about how he wasn't ready to grip that NFL ball yet. He wasn't used to the size of it yet. So along with time, I mean, there was still more fumbles, too. But it was a process. This whole thing is a process. That was 22 years old. He's 22 years old. So things will come with time. And I was getting used to NFL football. It'll come with time. A lot of it was on him. Some was on the offensive line. Letting some guys straight through. Some was on the ball just being wet because some of it was rain. Some of it was just miscommunications. It was a perfect storm. It was a lot of bad things just all together that made for a perfect storm of Lamar Jackson fumbling that football. My goodness, that dude. But it has no choice but to be better this year. This year he's another year comfortable. He's another year adjusted to the size of the NFL football. Just another year being the starting quarterback. And he will have been dealing with NFL football in practice with the Ravens leading up until the season. So I definitely expect the fumbles to be cut way down than they were last year. Next question came from my boy Travis. He said, I had a question. As a fan, did you feel a little disrespected when Suggs left for another team? I'm not going to lie. I felt like he turned his back on us. Honestly, didn't like his excuse either. It seemed petty. If there was any time the team needed his leadership, it was now with the tremendous losses in leadership. So did I feel disrespected? Not at all. Not at all because this is a business. This is a business. Yes, some personal feelings do get involved, especially from fans. But this is a business. The Ravens, they try to work something out with him. He said no. But when you talk about the leadership, I felt like Terrell Suggs, I mean, the writing was kind of already on the wall. I didn't see it, but he kind of put the writing on the wall already. When Lamar was starting, and again, we keep going back to this because this question brings it up. But when Terrell Suggs said, hey, we got a Super Bowl winning quarterback. When they asked about Lamar Jackson starting, he said, hey, we got a Super Bowl winning quarterback on a bench. And that right there, that was him showing his leadership right then and there. And he showed, as a leader, as a spokesperson on the team, as somebody that a lot of younger guys look up to on the team, he wasn't with this whole Lamar Jackson thing. He wanted Flacco to be out there. He wasn't with the change, and that was just the beginning of the end. So I don't feel like he disrespected the team by leaving. I mean, hey, if the Ravens weren't going to pay him, he wasn't going to come to a deal with them. He wasn't going to come to a deal with somebody because he's still playing. And he got to go back home, so good for him. Next comment came from... I'm not even going to give his name in the airtime. He said, you're wrong, Joe Flacco is a good quarterback. He sent me a DM on Instagram. He said, you're wrong, Joe Flacco is a good quarterback. And I said, did I say he was bad? And he said, yeah, you wanted him going for a while. And I said, I sure did want him going for a while. He should have been going years ago. And he said, you're one of those stupid fans I can tell by the way you're acting and your stupid responses. Joe Flacco was never the problem if you had a good football IQ. You would realize that he never had an offensive line and his receivers were awful after 2013 and never had a good running back. Think about it. Four set, one year, and later Alex Collins is not good if you have no offensive weapons. You can't win as simple as that. And don't get me started on the defense. The defense is scoring. And then I just replied to him. I said, OK, then he sent me a video chat. I said, no, I'm not joining. Then he sent me another video chat and I declined it. Then he said, come on, bro, join. And I said, OK. And then I proceeded to block him. That was it. Next question came from my guy, Jacob Raleigh. He said, people have been saying that the Ravens run first offense is not sustainable but if you really look at it and think about it the Patriots have been doing the same thing as Brady has gotten older. What do you think about that with run first? I don't think Patriots are run first. They do incorporate the run in there, but I don't think they're run first team. What the Patriots seem to do on offense, they do a lot of short passes. They do a lot of quick passes so they can keep Brady upright and he's not having to take a lot of hits back to back to back to back. So he's been able to stay healthy for so long and of course they change a lot of the rules to benefit Tom Brady as well. But I don't think they're run first team though. Next question came from a boy, Jacob Raleigh. He said, people seem to be sleeping on Jaleel Scott, but he's a huge possession receiver. Could he be the next Chris Moore? Struggling to get playing time, but then shows up. Could he be the next Chris Moore? I think he would much rather be the first Jaleel Scott. Nothing against Chris Moore, but Jaleel Scott, he just needs to. If he does get playing time, I want to see what he can do. Hopefully this preseason he can get a lot of playing time because we didn't get to see much of him last year. I feel like we saw him for like 10 plays and then boom, he disappeared. But I hope he does get a chance this year to really try to prove himself, try to make some plays because he's a big 6-5 guy, he can move, but I heard that he's kind of stiff. But again, I want to see it for myself, see what he can do. And hopefully if for his sake he can make some noise whether it be with the Ravens or whether it end up being with somebody else. You just hate to see stuff like that, man. These guys get drafted and then boom, they don't even make the team. They don't even get a chance to really show their stuff. So hopefully he gets a chance to show his stuff. Next question came from a boy that dude, Jarvo. He said, it's a question for team keep it clean. If you could bring back one Raven, who would it be? Prime Ed Reid, because safety has never been the same ever since Ed Reid left. So I would say Prime Ed Reid for me. And y'all please let me know in the comment section who it would be for you. And his next question was, if you get one player and coach from another NFL team who would they be and who would you give up? So if I get one player or one player and coach, I'm assuming that they would be a package deal. It would be Belichick and I guess I got to take a player from the Patriots. Belichick and Devin McCordy. Belichick and Devin McCordy because with his coaching style, he has a response for everything that you do. He is very good at countering. He is very good at adjustments. He is very good at film study. He is very good at analyzing and paying attention to different players that strengthen their weaknesses. He is very good at being 10 steps ahead of the rest of the NFL. And he knows his stuff in and out. And he treats every opponent the same. He does not overlook anybody. Do the Patriots sometimes play down to people? Rarely. Rarely. They normally take care of the teams that they're supposed to. And so yeah, it would be him. And the reason I say Devin McCordy, because I don't want to see Belichick, I don't want to see him with Lamar Jackson. But I would also want to see our safety position taken care of. I know we got Earl Thomas. But if I had to pick it would be Bill Belichick and if I had to pick a different player from the Patriots, because it seemed like he's making this like a package deal. It could be Brady, but no. Belichick and... Oh, Sonny Michelle. Because that could give us a nice little running back right there. The Haitian sensation. So yeah, either Belichick and Sonny Michelle, Belichick and Devin McCordy. Hey, Perry, 28. He said, do you think the Packers have a chance to get A-Rod a second Super Bowl this year? Well, I mean, you always got a chance until you're knocked out. So if that offense could be on point, it's really the defense. If A-Rod is a healthy one. But if that defense can make a good amount of plays, they don't have to be great at anything. They don't have to be locked down. They don't have to be shut down. But they need the offense to get back to Noma to get back to scoring a lot. And the defense just got to be alright that they would have a chance to. A lot would be just riding on those two things. Neither one has to be great. Neither one has to be sensational. Of course, if one of them is sensational, then that would help that much more. But if the offense can be good and the defense can be alright, then they will have a shot. But do I think they will? No. Next question came from my guy, Ali. Why? He said, Buck Allen is the last Ravens free agent on the market. Where do you see him ending up? I don't know. I don't know. Because the Saints worked him out last week. And you ain't hurting me thing after that. No follow-ups, anything like that. So, I don't know, man. It's just a way to see approach with him now. He could end up fizzling out of the NFL. I think if I was him, I would start like, you wouldn't want to. But I might have to start looking for a backup, man. A backup, like, career. Life after football, possibly. Hopefully not for his sake. But it just might be it. Because he's not a bad running back. He's just not explosive. But he always falls forward. He can catch. He can contribute. He can make some stuff happen now. If he were to go to the Saints, he could go there and eat. If he can get in the rotation. Because you know they already got that guy. But if he can make the Saints, then he could definitely make some stuff happen there. Next question came from my boy, Richard OP. He said, after this draft, it appears our offense is looking like for what is possibly the first time in franchise being made a priority. Lamar also looks like he's going to work hard to be all he can be. Flacco looks fired up after saying he won't mentor a lock. My question is, who will have the better season? We all know Flacco can do damage when he's motivated. Who will have the better season? That's tricky. What do you define as the better season? The better winning season or the better season statistically as a quarterback? Better season, statistically as a quarterback, I think it will go to Joe Flacco. The reason I say that is because Denver, they pride themselves on offense. Flacco's got a lot to prove. Lamar's got a lot to prove now too. But the system that Lamar is in is a lot of runs in there. They definitely going to throw some passing in there too. But Greg Roman, he's with his with his quarterbacks, with his offenses. It's usually like a low amount of touchdowns, low amount of interceptions. They do a lot of ball control, a lot of running. 21 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, stuff like that. Lamar is going to be identical to a Tyrone Taylor, to a Colin Kaepernick, anything like that. But the way that the offense is built is built to have the numbers around there. I would love for him to exceed those numbers. That would be great for everybody. Well, for everybody in Ravens. I would say statistically as a quarterback, Joe Flacco would have the better numbers as far as the team. If Ravens offense can be good, I think that Lamar would have the more successful team. Especially because the AFC North is close. It's going to be close. Browns, they've been going to work stillers. They're still going to be in it. Ravens, they done did the thing. The Bengals, Bengals still give problems too. But with Flacco, his division, he got the Chiefs, he got the Chargers, he got the Raiders. Oh, they got some tough stuff, man. We already know about the Chiefs and the Chargers, but with the Raiders, they got that new stadium built. They're getting that new stadium built. Look, straight up, if somebody gets a new stadium built, you know NFL is going to push them. Look at the Rams last year. The NFL is going to push them. Look at the Chargers last year. Chargers trying to get a stadium. Okay, don't stop last year now. But, it's going to be tough for the Broncos, man. So I say, statistically quarterback-wise, Joe Flacco. But overall, team-wise, Lamar Jackson. Next question came from my boy, Thomas Morgan. He said, What's happening with Christopher Azalea this year? He was a protective member of the Ravens practice squad last year as part of the foreign talent development program. He is still on the roster now. Could he make the final 53-man roster? And if he doesn't make the roster, would another team come off the practice squad this year? Yeah, I don't see him making the roster this year. With that practice squad thing, I believe they can still have a spot just for him because of that program. Now, I don't know if they get a different person every year with that program. But because I know it's like a program for like, is it from the UK? Is it the UK? I'm not sure exactly where it's from. But I don't know the details of the program. But I don't think he's going to make the roster at all. But as far as another team could sign just whether he makes the practice squad or not, but I don't know if that special spot designated for him on the practice squad. I don't know if they keep that same spot for just one person every year or if they get a new person who's part of the program to come in and fill the spot every year. I'm honestly not sure how that works. I'm going to have to do more research on that so we can find a better answer for this. Next comment came from Boyrick Benji. He had sent me a video that Lamar had posted about a week ago. Maybe a week and a half, maybe longer. Or him throwing some passes. Not practice passes, but some highlights from last year during the season. Because there's of course been all this talk about can Lamar throw, he can't throw, he's running, all that good stuff. What he sent me was a screenshot of some of the different players commenting on Lamar Jackson's video. Anthony Avery Jr. He's put three goat emojis. Tavon Young, he put like that. Zeppelinian, I don't know who that is. He said, I know you can be better, man. And Lamar Jackson responded to him, he said no cat. But anyway, Jerry Alexander, the Packers cornerback, the first round draft pick from last year. He said, dang, I thought they said he couldn't pass in the pocket. Ha, stupid. Now it's people from other teams too. And then Zeus, Orlando Brown Jr., he wasn't team keeping clean, but I'm going to just put the edited version. He said, Lamar is a problem. So what my boy Rick Benji said, he said I love how the players have so much faith in Lamar, man. Them fueling him up makes me so hyped to just see him play again. Other teams better not sleep on him this year. So that is a beautiful thing when you have support, because just like with us when we have support from our family or friends or whatnot, it makes the world of a difference. When you have real support, like with y'all with me with team keeping clean, y'all support, man. Y'all support and it fuels me up. So imagine with him, this dude, there are so many people doubting him and but he has support from people who matter to him the most and that could just set him up for a great year and a great career too. Shout out to my guy Blue Trey, because he also sent me some of the videos too that Lamar Jackson was posting around there. And he said, what do you think our boy is trying to tell him with these videos? And I said, you already know, man. He's trying to show out. He's ready to show out. And you know Lamar, everything being said about him and whatnot. So I think he's just really ready to just make this thing happen. And he really wants to just shut the whole world up, man. He hears a lot of the outside noise, but I don't think he lets it affect him. I think it does affect him, but in a good way. It just makes him work that much harder. Next question came from my boy JD Donemoya. He said, do you think we can develop Gerald Willis to be one of our top pass rushes? I don't know, but that would be great if they could. They can definitely develop him. They can definitely develop him. But pass rushes, I think they can develop him to be one of the best interior rushes. Or maybe even outside pass rushes too. Let's see, but I think him in sort of the Michael Pierce role to where they strong enough for defensive to play defensive tackle. But they can rush and they can stop the run too. So I think something like that. He does seem like a DN too, so he could do a little bit of both. If he played like a Michael Pierce not a Terrell Suggs role, but a defensive because Terrell Suggs more like an outside linebacker slash DN, but Gerald Willis is like a DND tackle. So he could blossom into something serious, man, because you could tell that he got some serious potential and that dude is going to be real. He's making a team. I don't say that plenty, he's making a team. No way that he's not making a team. He will make the team. So I can't wait to see him though, man. Next question came from a boy, Aaron Daco. He said, who do you think is the best coach in NFL right now? Bill Belichick. Next question came from a boy, Joshua Rose. He said, do you think any players on the roster could potentially hold the Ravens back? I know anyone can, but I'm talking locked in starters. Maybe that shouldn't start or have less opportunities if other guys shine to be in more in depth. My guess is Jimmy Smith on defense. Injuries, injury concerns, he lost a step with age, and Snead, due to so many offensive passing and affairs calls. Come clutch, time that makes me nervous. I know my answer, but I would like to know yours. Thanks again. Appreciate you, Joshua. Woo! Is anybody on the team potentially holding the Ravens back? I would say Alex Lewis. I would say Alex Lewis, maybe Matt Scurra, but maybe those two, because that's the weakest side of the offensive line. And I think we definitely need to get stronger there, especially since we're going to be running a lot. Other than that, I can't think of anybody else. I can't think of anybody else. Yeah, I really can't. Because everybody else, I think definitely deserves their spots. I mean, for the spots that are locked up, like Marlon Humphrey, Jimmy Smith. I don't think Jimmy Smith is holding the team back. I really don't. I think the only thing that Jimmy Smith is holding them back from is moving on. And the only thing that he's holding them back from, and that's really their decision anyway, he's holding them back from finding out who's going to be the next starting cornerback alongside Marlon Humphrey. And Willie Snead, I don't think he's holding them back either. I think Willie Snead is a nice safety blanket for Lamar Jackson. Yeah, he's got some passing interference, offensive passing interference call, but were all of them good? No, definitely not. They weren't all good calls, but yeah, if I had to pick somebody, I would say Scurra and Alex Lewis. What's up Team Pittsburgh? Team Pittsburgh!
