subscribers this is a really good one I mean everyone is really a good one because y'all be asking some fire questions all the time but we got plenty of good ones as usual so let's go ahead and jump into it all right first question came from a guy sirens he said why are fans spoiled with Lamar Jackson performances Lamar's week one stats were pretty good and he was rightfully recognized by the experts with the play of the week award fans however don't seem to appreciate it if Joe Flacco threw for 275 yards with three touchdowns and no picks 80 completion 150 QBR and rush for 45 yards everyone in Baltimore would have lost their minds like Flacco was really balling when it comes to Lamar everyone was like man national poll said the same thing as fans appreciated other QB performances what is the deal here um see this you're right and it is it's sort of a good problem to have reason I say that is because we as Ravens fans yes we are very very spoiled by ever since Lamar Jackson's cut well really since he took over the start in week two we've been extremely spoiled by the offense extremely spoiled and the defense been pretty good too but we've been spoiled because the offense would be putting up so much points yards touchdowns all that stuff so now we starting to kind of get used to it like initially last year in the beginning it was like whoa who who are these Ravens who's this but as the year continued we got more and more used to it we started seeing all these blowouts even of good teams and it was like oh let's go are we really an offensive team us Ravens really after all these years so and it has been consistent and since it had been consistent with the Ravens scoring so many points every single week that's why it's almost become second nature and I mentioned that in the video when we talked about the Browns game that yeah he went 20 for 25 275 three touchdowns and that we've gotten used to it and it's like oh okay Lamar Jackson that that's just that's just a Lamar Jackson type of game that's why even in the game last week against the Texans he only threw one touchdown so a lot of people were looking at it like oh man he he didn't have such a good game and he did have a good game he did make some plays uh but it wasn't what we're used to Ravens still won of course and they won by what 17 I think but Ravens still won and us as fans were like uh it it it almost felt like to some of us like it wasn't a satisfying win even though a win especially a 17 point win I think it is pretty satisfying um but we did notice things that the Ravens need to improve on but again they still won so that's the biggest thing at the end of the day as long as they are winning a pretty loss is much worse it's always going to be worse than an ugly win because the winner still wins say for instance it's a playoff game say for instance it's a Super Bowl if you come out there you 29 for 32 415 yards 5 touchdowns no interceptions in the playoffs or Super Bowl and you lose well the none of the blame might be placed on you but you still lost you lost now say for instance it's a Super Bowl you come out you you 24 for 48 two touchdowns two interceptions one fumble but your team wins hey y'all got y'all the champs it was an ugly game wasn't the prettiest of games but y'all won now when you compared it to Flacco I think one of the biggest reasons that a lot of people would go wild like you said if Flacco did something like that was because with Flacco we were never consistent offense that was the thing under Joe Flacco the Ravens were never consistent offense they were consistently inconsistent so that's why a lot of people had their frustrations with Flacco um he did a lot of good he did some great there's some bad too now but it was a mix of everything in between but we appreciated Flacco for sure of course because I mean everything he did throughout the years and he never complained never complained never complained about oh man we need more weapons we need younger weapons I need guys that I can grow with he never complained about that he should have he could have he deserved to but he never did um he was not no soft corner back he ain't complaining about no late hits uh he none of that man he just showed up did his thing okay I'm cool I'm done bye and went home um but if Flacco would have had a game like this especially first week yeah people would have been going crazy because that wasn't the norm for Flacco for Lamar Jackson it's becoming the norm like for Pat I said the same thing about Patrick Mahomes he went out thing the first week through three touchdowns and nobody was like oh man what a crazy game oh man Patrick because that's becoming the norm for him so again Lamar Jackson's on that same boat to where these games are almost regular next question came from a boy Braden S he said hey Mr. Engraven long time no question I thought you just sent one the other day maybe not he said sorry I haven't seen a question for the longest life has been crazy hey well you still got life so that's good so you winning you winning um things get a little crazy for all of us from time to time but that's that's just part of life that's part of life and um everybody we all go through different things we all face different battles that we got to go through um so I I even appreciate you even sharing that your life has been crazy so that lets everybody else know including myself that hey crazy things happening it is normal it happens it happens to all of us so we appreciate you for that alone man and he said anyways I have an interesting question for you and Team Keep It Clean could Baker Mayfield end up with a similar outcome to his career as Johnny Manziel oh I wonder if you missed that question from subscribers but it's all good man he said now I know their careers as of right now don't look to be that similar at all except that they were both drafted by the Browns but could Baker and Johnny football both end up being draft busts in the sense that they never lived up to their college or pre-draft hype even though I'm a Ravens fan I hope that Baker finally shows us why the Browns chose him as the number one pick back in 2018 just for the sake of competition in the division even though the competition is pretty weak I don't know about anyway he said sorry for rambling and thanks for acknowledging my question whenever that may be I hope you and your family and all the Team Keep It Clean are having a great day and much love hey we appreciate it Braden thank you for that man um with Johnny Manziel and Baker Mayfield yeah Baker Mayfield hasn't lived up to all the hype or whatnot um but he definitely it doesn't seem like he's on that road to Johnny Manziel status because Johnny Manziel it was said I don't know how true it is but like with the alcohol and the drugs that he got caught up in all that uh Baker Mayfield we haven't heard anything about that um but he he doesn't seem to be going down that road uh yes he he hasn't been the best as a number one pick he hasn't been an absolute stud an absolute just killer and maybe it's just taking him a little while to find his groove of course he has had like three four different offensive coordinators three four different head coaches in this short span and you see guys like uh Lamar Jackson he's had uh the same head coach his entire tenor and again this only his third year but for but it just it just shows consistency man consistency is everything uh and and it goes a long way especially when it comes to coaching offensive coordinators passing i'd say passing game coordinators uh qb coaches all of that stuff it makes such a big difference when you have consistency because and that goes for anything man that just goes in in life period um i don't mean to get too deep but i know somebody i know a guy who um him he he is a step child i mean no not the guy he's a step father uh to his wife's son and his wife's son is struggling with some different things uh but the wife's and he's been trying to help the wife's son with those things that he's struggling with but at the same time for him it's a big struggle because the wife's son is with his dad uh during the week so since he's with his dad during the son is with the dad during the week and he's not with the stepfather and the wife during the week he's only with them on the weekends there's that lack of consistency and i told him that i said hey that's it's gonna be a challenge it's gonna be a big challenge because he's with with his dad during the weekend with y'all during the weekend so he's gonna lack that consistency so whatever he's learning at his dad's house that's gonna be one thing and then y'all are completely y'all teaching him something completely different so he's almost gonna be like confused like which is which and what should i do and with baker mayfield again he's had this head coach Hugh Jackson uh freddy kitchens greg williams was in there now kevin stafanski so it's like oh man what what should i do what's really gonna work so i think with baker mayfield he just needs continued consistency and then we'll be really be able to see and determine if he is a true number one pick or if he can live up to that status next question came from a boy melvin j he said ain't graven hope all is going well i'm in the middle of watching the all game and man oh this was during the game he said a man marlin with that peanut punch again i'm thinking we need to name it after marlowe now it's his favorite move it is and he said by the way i'm predicting we will blow out the red blow them out the rest of the game let's go and team keep it clean uh so yeah marlin need to go ahead and uh he need to go ahead and uh get a get a signature on that man but yeah that's been that's been his thing he loves it like we all remember the stealers game last year and marlin i'm bow i mean the the first bow didn't work out and he ended up giving up a touch down the jiu-jitsu but the second bow it ended up working out well and that's of course the first game against the stealers because i don't did he play in a second game against the stealers i don't even remember if he did a little bit i think i know marcus peter did a bit but anyway um yeah marlin that he's been doing this thing and we didn't quite blow them out but we did uh win decisively next question came from my boy trevor c he said hello engraving hope you and all team keep it clean family are doing well and staying safe appreciated man he said i've quietly been watching all your videos for over a year now but this is my first time submitting anything for question from subscribers appreciate your quickness with the videos your insights and analysis of all team moves and the games i appreciate that man and thank you for for continuing to rock with us man so thank you i'm gonna call you a silent subscriber but it's all good man i do appreciate it for real man he said but to start this question off i feel like our running game is at best at the best i've it's at the best it's ever been for sure uh the addition of jk dobbins looks as it will prove to be fruitful for us true continuing to have a reliable veteran presence like mark england's gonna help out true and justice hill is a speedy back with loads of potential even though we haven't seen him this year yet um i'm wondering when that would be because like with justice hill like where would he fit in that's the tricky the well where would he fit in because obviously got the three running backs already got lamar getting some carries as well um return game got devin duvenay uh punt return game got james prochet where does justice hill fit in so it's looking like as of right now that he's going to continue to be one of those healthy uh healthy scratches during game day but we'll see um but anyway he said uh not to sound like much of a downer but am i the only one that thinks gust Edwards should be a starter i do not think you are or i mean no you're not because i see i see a lot of team keeper clean in the comment section uh i've had a lot of conversations with people where they think the same thing that gust Edwards should be a starter and he said i mean really every time i've seen him get the ball since last season he does nothing but give 110 every down he plays usually helping move the chains and after the texans game it's evident any run he gets can break for a big game and he's still hungry as he was when he was a rookie if possible i wish we could keep him around for another year but with jk and mark is probably looking unlikely how do you feel about gust Edwards and the possibility of him starting again or going somewhere else oh yeah this something that i talked about a lot man um i think with gust Edwards we and we can keep him another year and it's unfortunate i know my god nitro points it out all the time uh when we do talk about gust Edwards in his contract situation uh right now he's an exclusive rights free agent um so that means next year he'll be a restricted free agent not an unrestricted free agent an unrestricted free agent is somebody that set to hit the market and the only way that that team can retain them is if they sign them to a deal or place the franchise tag on them now a restricted free agent is somebody that the team they can um if they don't want them to hit the market they can place a tender on them a tender would be in in a draft pick so if you feel very highly about a player you can place a first round tender on them a second round tender on them and you'll have to pay them a little more money not still not no crazy amount but you can pay them a little more money and they will be with your team for a year but then teams having uh they have the chance to sign them to an offer sheet if another team signs them to an offer sheet with a deal that you don't match then that player goes to that team but you receive that team's first round draft pick or whatever draft pick whatever tender you placed on that player so say for instance just use it as an example to try to make it clear say for instance gust the Ravens they placed the first round tender on gust Edwards next year and the Saints they signed gust Edwards to an offer sheet of a deal to three years uh 15 million dollars now the Ravens would have three days to match that if they wanted to keep gust Edwards if they did match it then they will keep gust Edwards nothing would happen but if they didn't match it then gust Edwards would go to the Saints for that three year 15 million dollar deal and the Ravens was received the Saints first round draft pick so it all just depends on how much you value a player but with gust Edwards um I I could see them signing him to an offer sheet I mean signing him putting a tender on him just to keep him around another year especially because he would be so cheap now with gust Edwards and I've said this in the previous video too I don't remember which episode again I failed questions from subscribers it was but with gust Edwards what I think is gonna happen and I think it's gonna be Hayden Hurst 2.0 I think it's gonna be Hayden Hurst 2.0 where you have shown that you you can make some stuff happen you can show that you a baller but your your opportunities are just limited your opportunities are far and few you don't have no beef with the team you ain't got no problem with the team it ain't nothing like that but you just want to go show your stuff you just want to go show the people that hey I can play in this league I can do it so what I think is gonna happen like I said Hayden Hurst 2.0 I think gust Edwards is gonna request to be traded uh so he can really get an opportunity either traded or release I think it'll just be traded though because you know you know he ain't gonna try to give no play away for no free but I think gust Edwards is just gonna request that and again like I said no bad blood with the team anything I think he's just gonna request it out of wanting to play out of wanting to have a chance out of wanting to be a starter next question came from Carter he said now do you think Tavon Young has played his last game as Raven after three straight season ending injuries um I I do I I do I really do unfortunately um because I don't think Eric Dacosta is gonna uh I just don't think he's gonna put up with it and it's unfortunate for Tavon Young man that it's just it's just keeps happening because it's it's fresh it gotta be frustrating for it gotta be because I know us as fans we feel bad for him and I know I've seen a lot of people that have been frustrated too but just imagine what he's going through personally having to deal with this over and over and over again it's gotta be the worst man it's gotta be the worst and with Eric Dacosta um I just he's he's a no-nonsense GM and not that this is nonsense obviously but he's a cutthroat GM man he is a cutthroat GM and with him I think it's one of them things where if if you're not contributing if you're not there then he he'll get rid of you and I think that I think that he's gonna end up getting rid of Tavon Young unfortunately man because um like Tony Jefferson you saw with him he got injured uh and Chuck Clark ended up stepping up they got rid of Tony Jefferson he still had a year or two left on this deal um Eric Guetto it wasn't even an injury thing with Eric Guetto he just he just was a little bit slow well a lot slower and then he just he couldn't make the plays like he used to fan favorite Eric Dacosta said hey you gotta go so with Tavon Young um it's just I think it's unfortunate but yeah I don't think that he's gonna be with the Ravens anymore after this season man next question came from my guy Frankie he said do you think the Ravens will look for a slot corner even though they already gave Tavon Young an extension and this he said this came after his injury um I'm not sure how what they're gonna do I'm not sure how they're gonna replace him yet because uh there's obviously been to talk about um Anthony Avert of course they put Marlon Humphrey in a slot a lot I think that I think this week and we play the Chiefs so it is it is definitely gonna be quite the test not even in the slot but just outside corner every corner gonna be tested this game um but I just I think they're gonna they're gonna go through an evaluation period first I think they're gonna go through an evaluation period and in that evaluation period um is there's really gonna be this week to seeing how guys play that slot position obviously they throw Marlon Humphrey in there a lot uh they could possibly put Anthony Avert in there see how he responds see how he does um and just really this week just see how see how the guys perform do practice and then of course on money night football against the Chiefs um I don't think it's set in stone what the Ravens are gonna do yet but I don't really think that they'll make a major move or I don't even think they'll make a real a real corresponding move to Tavon Young's injury um besides as of right now besides uh just I think they could end up promoting Jordan Richards to the active roster uh once they put Tavon Young on injury reserve then I think they're gonna assign Jordan Richards to the active roster I think he's gonna end up taking that spot now I don't know if he can play slot corner I don't know but I know he he can play some safety he can play some corners so maybe he can play slot corner we might see um and he just could he could end up just being a depth guy and maybe they I mean I'm sure they know Marlon's specialty is outside Marlon Marlon can see what makes him play but his specialty is outside corner not slot corner that's not where he needs to be he needs to be on the outside Marlon Peters needs to be on the outside Jimmy Smith he is no slot corner he does not need to be there I've seen some people who say hey what about Jimmy Smith nope he he needs to be on the outside so with Tavon Young's injury it is presented a void on that uh that that nickel corner that slot corner so they I'm sure for now it's gonna be a mix of Anthony Avery the mix of Marlon Humphrey uh and Jordan Richards if they do go that route with promoting him to the active roster
