 So team keep it clean. What a night man. This was crazy. Um, I did not and do not like it But I do understand it and what I'm referring to is of course The Ravens trading Hollywood to the Cardinals. Y'all know, um, Hollywood was my guy He was one of my favorite players on the team Especially with him being from south florida But even more than that Just how he he showed a lot of love To the channel he showed a lot of love and support To me, um, and I I really appreciated that because Like this is a starting receiver for my favorite team. I'm like, he didn't have to do that He had to do that But but he did and he did it consistently and I really appreciated that about him a lot. Um, but Then I appreciated his play on the field too I appreciated the big plays and just how especially come playoff time, you know, hollywood was gonna show up Uh, but he he wanted out He wanted out and him wanting out It was no surprise. In fact, uh, one of my guys who um, he was close with the the ravens. He told me on on march 14th That hollywood wanted out um, so With all this it didn't really come as a shock But I still just I was hoping that all that would die down and it would cool off and Like cooler heads would prevail and they would be able to come to some sort of agreement And he could be part of what I would hope would be this offense That's just opening up that much more and he can eat more pavement, of course Do approach whoever's going to be the other receivers. I was just hoping that everything could be reconciled But it didn't and it wasn't I remember um earlier today, uh, well, it'll be yesterday when you're seeing this but earlier today um, there were the rumors going around that the ravens were shopping hollywood And I was like, man, here we go Here we go. I was hoping that they weren't true But it came from somebody who does have some credibility in past reporting that they've done Uh, so I was like, man So it probably is true But I was just hoping that all right, none's gonna go down and then I even remember um I remember thinking like, all right If hollywood is traded Then we'll know before the draft We'll we'll know before round one tonight because It's not gonna happen during round one. It could but I don't think it's gonna happen during round one It'll happen before or not at all or maybe on day two or something for a high second round pick, but nope Nope, it happened tonight Well, again, when you're seeing this it'll have been last night um, and now he's a card now Now we know hollywood, um I know a lot of ravens fans. They didn't like hollywood And then there are a lot of ravens fans that didn't appreciate hollywood Um hollywood was a good receiver. We're not a bad receiver at all. Um, he did have uh, his drops But he also had his production he had his touchdowns He had his efficiency and for him to continue to get better and better and better and produce more and more and more in a run first Offense because I think that that's something because a lot of people they they look at hollywood's numbers and whatnot They compare him to other receivers around the league and there are some receivers that are better than hollywood Of course, and even some of that got drafted in the same draft class as him Some that have that have performed better. There's some that have performed worse but A lot of people they they they paint a picture with hollywood and make oh, yeah, he's bad He sucks. Look at look at all these other receivers numbers in his in his draft class But that's when it's that's why it's very important to take To have context to have context with everything Because he was putting up numbers again in a run first offense like ravens offense is run first They run second run third, you know, then they'll pass on for what but they run the ball a lot like we know So he was steady improving but That's why I understand both sides of this thing I understand hollywood side why he wanted to be traded why he wanted just a new opportunity And then because you got to think about the timing of it We of course all remember the tweet from a couple years ago. Oh, what's the point of having soldiers if you ain't gonna use What's the point? So he he was frustrated with this offense as we all know, I mean hollywood was just like any other ravens fan to be frustrated with the offense but With his usage like He just I think he just wanted to show that he could do more. He wanted to do more He wanted to be in the best situation for him And in this offense on this team. Yeah, he'll be able to eat But if he goes to a passing offense a past first type of offense He'll be able to eat so much more And then when you think about the timing hollywood is going into his fourth year and the ravens They were before obviously before the trade They had They had a monday was a deadline where they would need to pick up his fifth year option And erie the cost has said it earlier. Remember. Hey, we anticipate picking up hollywood's fifth year option Because when we look around the league we saw these deals for you did the market for the receivers right now And having hollywood at 13 mil. Oh, that'd be a steal But I like I said right after that press conference and in other videos also Said erie the costa. He said that But actions we haven't seen any actions that have followed So and I kept warning people until we actually get that notification that the ravens have picked up hollywood brown's fifth year option Then all them words mean nothing And I anticipated them picking up his fifth year option I was just waiting for the figure there would be a formality at this point But no They waited and waited and waited and then today we we kept seeing this guy's fifth year option got picked up that guy That guy that guy that guy and I'm just sitting in the background just waiting like, okay I don't see hollywood fifth year option get picked up just waiting to wait on that notification But nothing nothing But as far as now, that's the car knows they have till monday to pick it up But with that, um, just the timing The timing of hollywood being traded he gets traded in a contract year Reason I say that is because right now He's in the the last year of his deal Now, of course that deal can be extended by a year if the car don't pick up the fifth year option But right now he's in the last year of his deal It is time to cash out He has an opportunity To go to a team Again air raid, we know But he has an opportunity to go to a team that passes the ball way more than the raven I mean everybody passed the ball more than raven, but he has the opportunity to really shine here He really does he goes first He was just playing with his boy with the ravens lamar now he gets to play with his boy In college who helped him become a first round pick And calamari So the chemistry is there already It's there They're super tight on and off the field So it's just going to make everything in his transition that much easier That much easier Another thing that's going to make it that much easier for him And it's something that I was hoping the ravens and they still can't do it But now the ravens maybe they feel like they're going to do addition by subtraction But we'll see it's still early. They haven't even got to round two yet. So we'll see how the ravens Replace hollywood and replenish their wide receivers. We'll see Um But calamari's job Calamari's job. Wow. It's like He doesn't have any excuses And the cardos they are providing him some weapons He has de andre hopkins one of the best receivers in the league. He has a j. Green Somebody who used to be one of the best receivers in the league and still I think he put up like 900 yards last year Then he gets to a hollywood brown added to that still has ron delmore. Zach earths max. Williams backing him up Filthy filthy It's like he has an embarrassment of riches man riches Riches for weapons So the cardons they they they doing that thing over there They're doing that thing Um, but he's he's in a really good opportunity because especially because of what's around him So that will allow him to Be wide open That'll allow him to eat that much more The receivers around him can help him and he can help the receivers that are around him. It goes both ways, man goes both ways So as far as uh, the ravens Now this again this to me This can work Bad way and also a good way The bad way first bad way because a lot of people they asked about it during their lives Oh, how does how does this impact Lamar Jackson in the contract because you know Lamar didn't like it You know Lamar knew about it, but he didn't like it didn't like it How will this impact Lamar Jackson in the contract talks this this guy and and he even You know, he tweeted about it before when there was some reporter that talked about hollywood brown possibly being traded Lamar said no no no no That's a clean version of what he put But he didn't want Lamar. I mean he didn't want hollywood to be traded And I can understand why that's his boy That's his boy. That's his guy And now your guy he's going And again, he wanted to be going he requested to be traded but still so, um The a lot of people question like what how would this impact the contract talks for Lamar Jackson Because ravens traded away his guy Now initially I was thinking. Oh, yeah, that's that's not a good look Because the team that's trying to resound Lamar they traded away his best friend But then when you got to really think about it his best friend wanted to leave his best friend wanted out So that's not really against the ravens Uh for hollywood wanting out. I mean, it's it's it says a lot about their philosophy Like we've been talking about which but It's not something where it's like, oh man, right ravens traded Lamar's best friend They traded Lamar's best friend. Oh, that's terrible. I mean, I It's terrible to me. I don't like it. But again, I understand why Because hollywood wanted to be going so Lamar understands that you probably don't like it But I'm sure he understands it hollywood wanted out So I don't think that Lamar would hold that against the ravens because hollywood wanted out So when you really think about it, I I don't think This may have a little bit, but I don't think it has much bearing on Lamar Jackson in his contract Now there's been a conversation that some people have been having. Um, oh, well the ravens, they should have traded Lamar I mean not Lamar. Sorry. They should have traded hollywood Because he don't need they don't need to pay him 20 million and I know ravens. They have never really paid a wide receiver big money They haven't they offered Tory Smith. I think they offered him, uh Five mil per year on a uh, I think it was a six Or was it six mil per year? And that was back then so the contracts were obviously way different But they offered that to him But he ended up going to the 49ers on a deal that was worth either one or two mil per year more than what the ravens were offering um But yeah, they and they they gave anquan bold in a contract extension when they traded him But it wasn't like big big money But um ravens they they don't pay wide receivers Not something that they do whenever they sign a wide receiver. It's usually like a one-year deal like last year Sammy walkins one year six mil um The michael crab tree when they signed him it was a three year 21 million dollar deal and it only had seven mil guarantee. So it was really a one year seven mil deal With john brown. They signed him to a one year Five million or six million dollar deal With willy sneed He was signed as a restricted free agent. He was signed to offer sheet of like two years maybe How much was it? It wasn't anything crazy. I don't remember what willy sneeds contract numbers were Um, there's brian. He got signed to the practice squad Uh, so he was dirt cheap and then they put one on active roster. So he's still dirt cheap um Seth robbers was a one year deal Uh, oh, I don't even remember how much his was but my but you see my point They don't pay you wide receivers But you get what you pay for And Being cheap at wide receiver Eventually you are you gonna keep running from paying wide receivers forever? Is this gonna continue to be a thing? Like i'm almost scared for what some people will think if bateman continues to look if if if he continues to develop into something serious Because bateman looks like he's gonna be nice He looked like he's gonna be a really good receiver in this league So what's gonna happen when it's contract time for resharp bateman? Are the ravens gonna run from it or ravens fans gonna be like, oh, no, we should just don't don't pay him draft draft another receiver replace him i'm i'm scared for that Winning if and when that happens. Hopefully it does happen. Hopefully we get to that point To where resharp and it's like, oh man. Let's do nice. He's been killing it. Da da da da But what's gonna happen then but um As far as back to lamar the how this is bad like I said it it just I think in the back of lamar's head it may make him think like, huh? About that offense about greg roman But at the same time on the flip side a positive about this um, we know that with lamar It's something we've been talking about all off season two ways that he can improve Just by simply spreading the ball out more If you spread the ball out more that would help the offense a lot um Because a lot of times he would lock on the mark angus lock on the hollywood because those guys have been his biggest playmakers over the years But now you don't have a hollywood anymore And I mean a lot of people noticed A lot of people noticed and they some people questioned it too When we see the videos of lamar jackson resharp, baby lamar jackson, james pro-shade lamar jackson, vijayman victor. They like hold up Hollywood is his best friend. Where's hollywood? Where's hollywood at Well, what's hollywood got going on? Where's he at? And then you'll see videos of hollywood training so low and be like, huh But no, it ain't nothing but then there's some people like, huh? No, that's something And it ended up being something Sometimes we say hey social media Sometimes you just never know you don't want to take it too seriously. But in this case, yeah for those who took it seriously Good job. You saw it You saw it but um, this can uh This this can be big for lamar jackson as a quarterback. It can be big for lamar jackson's growth as a quarterback Because now he One of his sort of safety blankets One of his crutches is gone It's gone So now the chemistry that he's been trying to build up this offseason with abatement would approach it with a victor with everybody else That's going to be so important It's gonna his chemistry with just everybody else is going to be so important this season Because that's going to dictate how the ravens offense goes And of course and I got to do a g-roll as well, but If lamar can get chemistry with these other guys that can help things a whole lot a whole lot So We'll see how this thing goes But I am happy for hollywood. Uh, this was he was ready, man Again, they said the trade had been agreed upon a couple days ago. Um That's why when hollywood, he did it like them wrestlers do man Where you think they're in one place, but then they end up showing up at another. They said the cardinals owner they said that uh Since this trade had been agreed upon already, um, they said that uh The cardinals owner because hollywood was in vegas for the the the game I think they were doing some little madden thing and he was doing autograph signings and all that So he was in vegas But the cardinals owner went and flew out to vegas picked up hollywood and his girl flew them back to the cardinals and When the trade so the when the trade was announced That hollywood could be there in person and then they could bring them out I said, okay The cardinals owner must be a fan of wwe or something with had a that's yeah, that was uh, that was something right there, man So, yeah, man, I'm gonna be rooting for hollywood. Y'all already know I will man because that's my guy Um, I hope he does a phenomenal job out there in arizona. I know he's gonna do a great job out there in arizona Because he is in such a good situation for him So i'm happy for i'm happy for And again, he's going to a quarterback who he also has plenty of chemistry with so yeah, again, he goes from chemistry to chemistry chemistry to chemistry So it should be a very smooth transition For hollywood. So shout out to him happy form. I'm still rooting for him Um, and again, I hope he does really really really well out in arizona What if we got a ravens cardinal superbowl? That'd be nice I surely wouldn't mind that but you know, I wouldn't mind whoever even playing a superbowl As long as they got there But anyway, um So I appreciate y'all. I love y'all And just like hollywood is now officially and yeah, no more 2019 wide receivers hollywood traded miles boy can cut no more 2019 wide receivers So anyway, just like hollywood is now officially we out
