Thank you for supporting and Team Keep It Clean as a whole. Thanks for rocking with us because I'm rocking with y'all right back. Y'all sent some great questions as y'all always do literally every single time. So without further ado let's jump straight into it. First question came from Chef Carti, he said, Hey Engraven, quick question, how you feel about moving Bowser to the middle linebacker spot? He's the best coverage and tackling linebacker queen, hasn't looked good this year at all. He's pretty small, move queen to rush linebacker. What you think? Thanks for all you do for the Ravens, you make my days better with your videos. I've been watching for years but this is my first question from subscribers. Thanks again you're my guy and like Dante Saturday night, oh yeah, Dante who wilder right, that's his name. This has been a question that's come up a lot over the years man because Ravens have had some linebacker, a lot of inside linebacker questions for a little minute, of course after CJ Mosey and what not, but you know I know they played him there a little bit against the coats and with Patrick Queen he has struggled a lot this year, it's definitely been rough just seeing it, the tackling, the biggest issue is in my opinion and I'm no film junkie anything like that but from what I see with my eyes, Patrick Queen he just struggles with tackling and he struggles with just getting pushed back. As far as Bowser, I know he's good in coverage, that's one of the things he specializes in but I probably wouldn't change him, I probably wouldn't change him, I believe coming out of college he was known as being a good pass rush guy so I would leave him there because I just, with me I don't like when Ravens are just teams period but more specifically Ravens, I don't like when they take something that somebody does well and they change it from, like make them do something different and with Bowser, I believe Bowser is actually he's missed a lot of tackles too, I believe, now he obviously does play a different position but still he's missed his fair share of tackles as well so I don't know if that would be the end all be all solution to the inside linebacker problem that the Ravens have right now. So no, I wouldn't change him, I wouldn't change their positions. They could do, that would be bold though, I was about to say start Malik Harrison and have Patrick Queen sort of bagging him up but they could end up starting Chris Board. If things get to like a rough point and I mean we might even see something against the Chargers because this is a game where the tackling has to be on point because this is a very physical offense but to answer your question I wouldn't make that switch. Expression came from my guy Chaz, he said I know you always say that the cap is cap perhaps Lamar keep making strides he's making wins and getting MVP, Ravens win the Superbowl and they sign him. Would you think it would be best for Lamar to take a pay cut at a young age to continue to build around him? No. Not at all. Nope. And I'm going to tell you why in a minute but let's finish reading first. He said do you think the cap is cap and they pay him and still build around him or do you think he ends up similar to Patrick and his scenario paying all that money to where they have to let people go? I mean Patrick he made a lot of money but they still got a lot of people and they redid the entire offensive line. So it's doable it can happen you can pay your quarterback and still make a lot of moves and there were even more moves that the Chiefs were trying to make but it just didn't end up happening. So it can be done. With Lamar the biggest reason that I would not want him to take a pay cut is because this is literally his first this is going to be his first second contract you can only get a second contract once and this could be well this will obviously be the biggest contract that he ever got now in a couple years down the road after this he could get another big one it just all depends on everything but if you decide alright right now I'm going to take less I'm going to take a cheaper deal if you decide that now then that's how it's going to be for the rest of your career you're always going to be taking cheaper deals because when you had an opportunity to cash in for the biggest contract of your life you're like okay I'll take a cheaper deal and it's not selfish because I know it's dead I know some people gonna say oh man that'd be selfish if Lamar decided to take all that money no it's not this is a business it's a business so in that business you're trying to make money Lamar should take everything that he can get next question came from my god Jared he said what's good in gravy and hope all is well with you in the fam love your commentary and I look forward to it every day appreciate that that may that might make you a little crazy if you're looking for that every day he said but anyway they might engrave this guy man he said who do you think are going to be the odd man out if and when the Ravens activate both miles boy can ever show up Bateman my personal opinion I think it's going to be Tyler Wallace and or one of the tight ends Josh Oliver no or Eric Tomlinson I don't think that's a really good question I don't think Eric Tomlinson or Josh Oliver have anything to worry about until Nick Boyle comes back and then when he does come back I think it could be Eric time that's tough oh that is really tough actually they might end up keeping them they might end up keeping them just in case like just to be safe rather than sorry just in case they have another Ronnie Stanley thing because again Ronnie Stanley was hurt he came back probably came back too early then he got hurt again so now he's out so they might they might keep four tight ends they might but anyway as far as when both Boykin and Bateman Boykin is activated now but when Bateman comes back to yeah I think it not necessarily odd man out but Tyler Wallace think he could start being inactive on game day I could see that I was a little surprised he wasn't inactive this past game day but um they still have some spots that they can play with since they don't have a 453 man roster but when Bateman is activated yeah they still won't have a 53 man roster I think they'll be at like 52 maybe something like that so it might not have to be any odd man out only odd man out on game day taking the Miles Boykin this next question came from my guy Cole he said was good hope all as well the Ravens drafted then wide receiver Darren Waller in the sixth round back in the day he couldn't make the roster as a wide receiver so at some point he changed positions to tight end and it's now balling out with the Las Vegas Raiders thanks to his big frame plus great athleticism he simply gained weight and became a mismatch in coverage I'm sure you see where this is going well I saw it was going from the title because the title says miles Boykin could be the next Darren Waller but anyway he said miles Boykin has a similar build to Waller and if he could put on some weight to switch to tight end and then hopefully play well Boykin would be able to have a bigger role in the offense in my eyes Boykin is the odd man out in the wide receiver room but he could be our second pass catching tight end giving Greg Roman another interesting piece for this offense this has been because we've heard this question a lot but the way that he put it the way that he set that up has been one of the most beautiful ways to word this question and word this scenario I know the Raven said they weren't gonna do it I hope I said he wasn't gonna do it I could see the Ravens that I can see the Ravens doing it especially with how things have been going this year with the past game now on this past Monday night miles Boykin he wasn't involved on offense at all they didn't have him out there not one play on offense the only special teams and they had guys like obviously Hollywood Sammy Watkins before he got hurt but after Sammy Watkins got hurt I was like all right I guess it's Boykin time but the Ravens like nope it's pro shade time it's duvenate time and in those those are guys that we're gonna run with the guys that have been here and done that miles Boykin as a tight end it could yeah it could work I think but um we just got to see where his mentality is as a wide receiver first because that's that's the biggest thing so if his mentality is has been just a lack of aggression and the lack of physicality as a past catcher then as a tight end the position gets that much more physical because you got a block guy you got a you got a block defensive end and linebackers and all that stuff and he got to do that a little bit now but more so as a tight end because you're closer to the to the offensive line so with miles Boykin I would just like to see like where he is as a as a past catcher at wide receiver first before he made that transition because the mentality got to get right then once that once that mentality gets right he can do whatever he wants next question came from time to be said ain't gravy no ball as well with you and yours had a couple of questions to ask about our running backs and our corners first question one running game seems to be suffering I know it will take some time to establish our running game but what do you think the problem is offensive line or the running backs because we didn't have this problem with our offensive line opening up lanes last season now it seems like they are not in sync or are the running backs not able to find lanes to run because the run game has been shut down and this has never happened before I think it's a mix of both the offensive line just as far as opening up running lanes it just has not been good and then when you think about it like Lamar Jax depth the mesh point the point where Lamar Jackson he puts the ball in the running back stomach and he either they either take it or he pulls it back and he keeps it they don't do that anymore or they don't do that as much and when they do do it it has been very sloppy so you have these running backs that you're not even comfortable with you have these running backs that you don't even know Devonte Freeman Levy on bail Latavius Murray all have had success in their careers and all have been some nice running backs throughout their careers but they the more Jackson them are not familiar with each other so that has I feel like that part right there alone has held the running game back then the offensive line too so I would definitely say it's a it's a good mix of both and her second question she said I heard Ken who was very informative state that Anthony Averton Peters might cash out of Baltimore I don't think that would be wise for the Ravens to get rid of them our secondary is suffering because the linebackers aren't tackling and we always have injuries at the corner position every season resulting in us having to get corners off the street wouldn't be wise to keep all corners that are already developed and know our system instead of relying on new players that might be struggling we always develop our own and send them to another team to thrive leaving weaknesses on our team what's your thoughts now that's a good question but this is where you can't keep everybody and what he was saying when he explained it he said that the Ravens are getting ready to pay Lamar and we all know that and Lamar is a quarterback and Lamar is not just any quarterback Lamar is a very extremely successful quarterback and he bottom line he's going to get paid a lot of money a whole lot of money he is going to probably get paid the biggest contract that a quarterback has ever been paid so when that happens for Lamar Jackson then other areas of the team are going to suffer I mean it happens on every single team and with Marcus Peters he he's getting paid a lot of money and what Ken was saying is that the Ravens could save a lot of money by cutting Marcus Peters and this this was actually been talked about like even before Marcus Peters got hurt a lot of people thought that this was Marcus Peters last season with the Ravens but even before he got hurt now we certainly wouldn't want it to be because we all love Marcus Peters but it's the business side of football and then with Anthony Avert I think a lot of people forget because I know a lot of people definitely before the Coast game I know a lot of some people don't switch their opinion now because of one bad game but anyway with Anthony Avert he I think a lot of people forget that this is at the the last year of his contract so he's getting ready to be a free agent so with the way that he's been playing minus the Coast game but with the way that he's been playing that money is going to come in he's gonna cash out and he would definitely get a better offer from somewhere other than the Ravens when if and when he decides to become a free agent so it just it doesn't seem like he would be staying with the Ravens if he keeps playing like he played weeks one through four it looks like the he could move on and go get his breath somewhere else so that's all it was about of course we would love to keep everybody but the business side just won't let you next question came from James so hope you and the family are doing well I appreciate it James hope you and your family doing well too is it I want to thank you for giving us in Louisiana PSA for the hurricane Ida victims in Louisiana I was very happy for that it made a difficult day a little more easier for me all right I appreciate that James um no and that that's important man it's important that uh you just check on your people man whether it be friends whether it be family whether it be whatever you got to check on your people man so now I appreciate you he said my question is do you think that the Ravens will sign some offensive line help before the trade deadline because I think we really need it with the injuries we have suffered what do you think and it's crazy because he sent this on October 9th the date today is October 13th so he sent it before the Ben Cleveland injury he sent it before that I what is the position on offensive line well they could just really use a big upgrade because Patrick McCarty he's been doing well Zyla's been quiet so that's a good thing Bradley Bozeman he's been doing good just the left side the left guard left tackle position feel like that's where it's been a bit of a struggle V and waiver but he's been a lot better than he was week one but it's been a little up and down the whole offensive line has been a little up and down but I think most on the left side but I'm honestly not sure they just lost Adrian Ealy I forget his first name but they just lost him for what six games due to PD's and that's I don't know that is such a good question because if you bring somebody in it has to be somebody that is in my opinion it would have if you're gonna bring somebody in it got to be somebody that significant better significantly better than what you have and that will cost you a pretty penny or even don't really have a pretty penny they would have to bring somebody who's still on a rookie contract or if they own a second contract it gotta be like a crazy low contract so I'm just not sure I really don't know next question came from my guy Java he said give this man a check already I know it's way too early to talk about the offseason but let's talk about it with Lamar getting his major contract extension and with a lot of players on one year deals who do you think we should resign and who do you think we let him go oh yeah a dot fair way for rookie defensive player the year great question who do we sign yeah way too early for that but who do we possibly let go I talked about I think Anthony Avery I think he could be on the way out Marcus Peters is a possible candidate the Sean Elliott is still up in the air right now I think he is still up in the air right now I think with the Ravens they don't know right now what they want to do with the Sean Elliott what they want to offer because again he would have to accept they could they could offer him all the deals in the world but he'll still have to accept them too so that that's something right there I think LJ Fort I think he'll probably end up being gone unfortunately because they would they were transitioning to Patrick Queen and Malik Harrison but LJ Fort with this with the injury I think that pretty much made the that made the transition officially official so I think they'll move on from him Brandon Williams I think Brandon Williams I think this could finally be the year excuse me Kaleas Campbell I think Kaleas Campbell he'll end up retiring hopefully he retires with a Superbowl Purnell McPhee I think that could possibly be another one because they signed him on a one-year deal Anthony Levine I mean let's say this every year but he just keeps on coming back but Anthony Levine is another guy I think could be on the way out so yeah those only guys I could think oh and then Devonte Freeman Latavius Murray and maybe Levy on bail so those guys too so and Sammy Watkins is still up in the air right now but his up in the air is a bit I think it's a better up in the air than Deshaun Elliott's right now but though they both on one of your deals so we got to see how the rest of the season plays out for both of them. Next question came from my guy Enonic he said engraving hope all is well with you and the family appreciate you Enonic he said just watched some of the Money Night Football game but had to turn away in disgust no rushing attack or scrambles by Lamar poor tackling yet somehow we won it looked like G. Rowan Harves made it a point not to run the ball 400 yards streak ends at 43 games I truly believe the injuries to Gus and JK have forced the Ravens to evolve the passing game faster than expected and it seems to me like we have abandoned the running game because Tyson is in Harbs doghouse and do you think Ravens have lost their identity and do you think this will hurt us down the road what are your thoughts do I think Ravens have lost their identity no but I think the Ravens have created a new one and what their identity before was that a we're gonna run the ball we're gonna come at you with the run game and you ain't gonna be able to do nothing about it but now the Ravens identity is we'll try to run but hey if the running working which it hasn't been this year then we're gonna air you out we're gonna air you out and you better hope that this offensive line does not block for the Marjaxon Ravens you better hope that these receivers do not catch the ball for the Marjaxon Ravens or else it can get ugly so I don't think that they've lost their identity I think they just established a new one and these are 2021 Ravens and with the run game again like we talked about earlier it's been a mix of the offensive line it's been a mix of the running backs and the lack of chemistry and again that the mesh point is so big cuz we've seen fumbles from it we've seen some sloppy plays from it and is when you lose what you had especially what you had had worked so good for you and with you and you had y'all are just so familiar with each other that can change everything so I don't even think is that they haven't been trying to run because they tried they tried but I do one thing about that and I'm glad you brought that up is that I love how Greg Roman and company hugs TT Kiki shout out to them boys but I love how the Ravens the run hasn't worked it didn't work but the past has worked and this season in different games the Ravens had well besides the Raiders game but the Ravens have stuck with what's working they've stuck with what's working and that's something that we wanted to see from them for a very long time as Ravens fans and that will be some of our biggest frustrations is that they didn't stick with what's working so now they they are and they need to keep it up
