 So now, since we've unfortunately reached the offseason for the Baltimore Ravens a lot earlier than we had hoped for, there's a lot of wish lists that are being created. What Ravens fans hope end up happening with this team. And I know the comment section, oh, y'all put wish lists every video, but I'm certainly sure it'll be there for this one. And we're gonna hear from one Ravens fan, his wish list of what he hopes happens this offseason. But before we get into it, I gotta give a special shout out to the newest Team Keep It Clean patrons, Travis B. And Stan, appreciate the both of y'all and really shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean patrons. Now, quick shout out to everybody who's not even a patron anymore. Some people stepped away from being a Team Keep It Clean patron and that's fine. I appreciate any time that you even spent as a patron, but I know stuff changes. Sometimes different situations come up and sometimes it's like, hey, look, I don't feel like being a patron no more. And that's fine. I love y'all and I appreciate y'all. Thank you for just really everybody that contributes to this channel because y'all all contribute to this channel a lot. So with that being said, let's get into this first question that came from Baltimore's own 54. He said, a true Ravens wish list from a long time support. He said, hey, how are you? I know it's been a minute since I wrote in, but after watching the press conference, I had to see your thoughts. But it's not really a question, but more of a wish and a wish of, I hope they get smart and actually do this. I love my Ravens, but something's got to give. All right, let's see what he got to say. I really was, he said, I really would like us to, yeah, this, oh, let me just read it. I really would like us to trade for DK Metcalfe or Tyreek Hill or big name ballhawk wide receiver like them. That's what we need. And since they want to run the ball so much in so many stupid plays, like when they run it up the middle or run it where the drama is, get a big body running back like Derek Henry and edit the old line a little bit, where we are weak at. I feel like that will fix our problems on offense, but this is not maddened and I know that will never happen in real life, but it sounded good coming from my mouth. So I, well, that definitely is a wish list. The biggest name that they could go out and get as far as wide receiver right now is a DeAndre Hopkins. I don't envision DK Metcalfe going anywhere. Tyreek Hill definitely ain't going anywhere. So DeAndre Hopkins, cause he'll be out there. He's on the trade block already, whether he ends up being trade. Now if he gets traded, Ravens have an advantage. I mean, not an advantage, but they have a bigger opportunity. If he gets released, Ravens don't stand a chance in my opinion. Reason I say that because if Ravens could fork up some capital to acquire DeAndre Hopkins, but then I'm thinking about it. Right now they only got five picks and you know Ravens, they love them draft picks. So that kind of makes me think like, oh, but the, I mean, and with DeAndre Hopkins, I'm not like one of them, I ain't thinking, oh yeah, they for sure gonna do it. I think it's a possibility, but I'm leaning more toward the side of no already. Not that I wouldn't want them to, but I just don't think they will. But then now that I really think about it with the draft picks that they have, with a few draft picks that they have, they not gonna want to get those up to get know DeAndre Hopkins. Cause where would they get more draft picks from? Well, you got some decision that you can make on some other players and whatnot, but yeah, man, so I don't see it. And then with Mike Evans, he could possibly become a possibility. It depends on what they do there at the quarterback situation. Cause any quarterback that goes to Tampa Bay, you got Mike Evans, you got Chris Garwin. I mean, you got a nice little stable right there receivers to walk into. But so we'll see if any of them comes available, but I mean, they would have a high asking price as well. So as far as a big time receiver, I mean, we can hope my expectations for that are kind of low, but we'll see. I think the Ravens will be more so in the Alan Lazard, maybe a DJ shark type of thing. And they're not bad receivers. They're not bad at all. And they do have bigger bodies, bigger frame receivers. So I mean, they could come in and definitely help out. And then of course scheme is everything. So we'll see how that goes as well. And then who's your quarterback gonna be? Hopefully it's Lamar Jackson, but that's not set in stone. So that's a big question right there too. So Ravens, my wish list for the Ravens is just really to fix the offense, fix the offense obviously to get an offensive coordinator who like my wish list personal, Ravens update the philosophy. They upgrade the philosophy. And while they don't stop, don't stop running the ball, but you gotta focus on passing a lot more and getting your receivers involved and using guys talents, using their talents a lot more. Not forgetting about playmakers. That would be a big wish list that I would have for the Ravens going into next season. Don't forget about your playmakers. It's okay if somebody's going off in a game to keep going to them or if somebody's going off in a game, it's okay for the next game for them to still keep going off for you to keep feeding them. It's okay. So that's fine. There ain't no problems with that. And I would just like them to invest more in the offense and really realize just how valuable it is and how much it can really shift your team from being competitors to contenders. And this feels like a dream. I know just what I mean. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like got him made it. Got him made it. Boy, that's my homie. Ain't that right in Ravens? Team Keep It Clean, welcome to another episode of Questions From Subs. You want to be a part of it for the patrons. You can send it to your questions directly on Patreon. Of everybody else, you can send an email to teamkeepitclean at gmail.com. Don't send it anywhere else. Who else? Man, he's going in the trash. Anyway, next question came from a team. My guy Anthony, who's been a patron for four days. So brand new patron, he said, what's going on bro, love the content, keep being great. I've been watching for a while now and always send my Ravens fans, friends to the page. Hey, I appreciate that. Thank you. And he said, I've been talking nonstop about Lamar's contract, like 79% of the world, but I've been a Ravens fan since 2005. And one thing I know is that we take care of defense first, but I think this next two years, we are going to do things differently. I see us signing Lamar by letting Juice Man, Chuck, Kaleas Campbell, Justin Houston, JPP, and maybe, hit me out, Snoop. Letting Snoop go as well to pay Lamar. And actually, tag Patrick Queen. Do you see that possibility happening? Sorry for the long story, but everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I can spend the possibility on that move. A franchise tag for Patrick Queen? I don't see that. Because one, they got Roquan Smith. Two, between now and when that time comes, they got to decide by, I think, May, if sometime in May, I think, if they're going to pick up his fifth year option. And that, so that has to either be, they're either going to pick it up or they're not going to pick it up. So that's going to decide whether Patrick Queen is on a one year deal. He got one year left on his deal and this will be the last year of his deal with the Ravens. Or he has two years left on his deal. But I just, I don't see a scenario where they would franchise tag Patrick Queen because they're already paying Roquan a lot of money. Then on top of that, if they franchise tag Patrick Queen, whatever the, because it's the highest of the five top paid inside linebackers or people at his position. So if they franchise tag him, then all that money will be guaranteed. So say, for instance, the franchise tag for linebackers is 15 meal. That's 15 meal cap hit right there. Ravens ain't going to want that. Not for somebody who's not their guy at inside linebacker. Roquan Smith is their guy. Patrick Queen is cool now. He's nice. He been doing this thing, especially this year, but that's not their guy. So I just don't see a franchise tag happening for Patrick Queen. Now, for all these other guys that you talked about, I don't really think none of them have anything to do with them all. I think a lot of them were gone already. Klairs Campbell, Justin Houston, you brought them up. And I think though they could retire, Marcus Peters, we've been saying that this is probably his last season with the Ravens anyway. And then Chuck Clark, yeah, him too. I mean, I thought he was going to be gone last year, especially with the whole Kyle Hamilton thing. They drafted a safety in the first round. Oh man, give me out of here. But they obviously didn't budge on that. Then they gave him a nice little raise too. They like, hey, Chuck, thanks for being a great teammate. He has a little raise, a little bump in your salary and whatnot. And JPP, JPP was just here for this year. I mean, he wasn't in no long-term plans for them. But Snoop, Snoop is an interesting one. I don't see them letting Snoop go though. I mean, unless they got like some crazy offer for them, which I don't really think they would. But that would be an interesting one right there. Next question came from my guy, John, who's been a patron for 23 days. Shout out to Jordan. Who's number 23 on the Ravens right now? 23, 23, 23. I can't think of it. Who's number 23? Cause it used to be Tony Jefferson. But this year, wow. I'm like, I'm in my bad fan cause I cannot remember who number 23 is. Anyway, next question came from my guy, John. He said, Hey, what's up? I hope all is well with you in the fam. I was watching a presser and I heard Hobbs saying about building wide receiver. Oh, building wide receiver room. Fingers crossed, he said to give them more chance to be his best. Hopefully they do. Thanks for all you do, bro. So like Roman, I am out. Why you had to do Roman like that? But yeah, hopefully that's what I said after the presser, man. They said all the right things, which is great. It's a great start, but now it's about delivering on those promises. Next question came from BG Method, who's been a patron for a year. Appreciate you. He said, I really believe we are going to find a way to keep Lamar Jackson. I was down about it, but I'm feeling optimistic now that I'm over the game. You and the family take care. Hey, I hope you're right. I really hope you're right. I mean, I know that presser from yesterday. Well, yesterday, it was yesterday as of the day I'm recording this cause I'm recording this on Friday at 10, 24 AM. But that press, I know it gave a lot of people more sense of hope that the Ravens are going to sign Lamar. But now it's time to make it happen. Next question came from a brand new patron, my guy Travis, who's been a patron for zero days. So he literally just became a Team Keep It Clean patron. I mean, that was him who we gave a shout out to in the beginning of the video. He said, hey man, so with the Raven season tragically coming to an end, how do you, yeah, how do you pass the off season? Hopefully next time we see the Ravens in action, Lamar will be our starting quarterback. Hope you and the family are doing great. Thanks for all that you do. I appreciate you supporting, man. How do we pass the off season? Oh, hey, look, a lot of times, like I will look at the off season and be like, oh man. Oh, yes, great. This is nice. All right, now things going to slow down. Now we get a more of a break. And I mean, the off season is a lot more chilled than the regular season, but the off season is still crazy. The off season is still very crazy. And this off season is going to be crazy the most. Like last, I thought last off season was crazy. And it was last off season was crazy. It was busy. It was like nonstop. Well, we did have some slower moments here and there, but we're right here in the off season too. Things are still busy in the off season too. And there's going to be videos for you every day in the off season too. So we ain't going nowhere. Next question came from my guy, Dominique, who's been a patron for three months. Appreciate you, Dominique. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope everything is good and well with you and the fam. After the ending to the season, I know we all see what JK had to say with him saying that I know he is not the only one that is thinking that or thinking like that. And once G-Row gone as well, well, boom. Well, we know what happened with that. And if we be honest, I still think Lamar wrote them fire Greg Roman paper. So let's say they decided to keep G-Row. Well, okay, we ain't got to worry about that. He said, so we can skip that part. He said, hope you're having a wonderful day. I've been thinking about how much leverage does Lamar have in these contract talks. I really believe he wants to be here. And after the way the season ended, hopefully the front office wants him here too. The team proved that they can't win without him. Even though they won two games, it wasn't really against good teams. In your eyes, what are the things Lamar can use to leverage himself even more? I will say his value, his value to the team, what he brings to this fan base. He can point to them and say, look, like, cause you got to do this stuff in business. You got to play the game. He can say, look, look at the attendance when I'm there, when I'm starting. Look at all the fans in the stands. Look at all the jerseys that they got on. Look at all of that. Now, I don't see him doing the whole jersey part cause that could be sort of, that could be sort of a, what's the word I'm looking for? Like, look at them wearing my jersey. Now, I don't think he would be like that. But it could be used in business. Like, look at all these people and look at all the people that are not there when I'm not there. If I'm not playing, if I'm not active, look at the people that don't show up. But then more, even more importantly, well, just as important, the product on the field, the points that we score and look what I've done without you even giving me the best of the best. Look at it. Look at our success rate. Look at how much we've won. We obviously haven't accomplished the ultimate goal yet, but hey, without me, you probably won't even come close to achieving the ultimate goal. So I think he could use a lot of that stuff to his advantage in negotiations. And again, with the Ravens on their side too, now they're gonna use their stuff too. Cause they're gonna say, hey, Lamar, look, these last two years, you've been hurt. Why should we give you X amount of dollars if you didn't even finish the seasons? Why should we do that? Is it gonna happen again? Should we expect it to happen again? I mean, it's happened two years in a row. So why should we do that? So I think however this thing goes, I am, cause we don't have any clue how it's gonna go. We don't have any clue how it's gonna turn out. I just wonder, like, it's so many different scenarios that you gotta take into account. Like for instance, what if they franchise tag them and they franchise tag them to be like, all right, we wanna see you finish this year out. What if they did that? Cause that's the scenario I could see playing out. What if they do sign him to a long-term deal? What if they do that? And if they sign him to a long-term deal, I wonder what the language in the contract is gonna be as far as the guarantees, the guarantees for injury. I wonder if it's gonna have any crazy stipulations, anything like that. I wonder how that's gonna be. And then on the other hand, there's him getting traded. Next questions came from my guy, BB. He said, do you think the Lamar Jackson contract negotiations are a negative distraction for the players and coaches? Well, certainly, there's definitely a big distraction because everything that goes on with Lamar, everybody goes back to the contract. They go like, oh, it's because of the contract. Oh, it's because he didn't got a contract. Oh, Lamar's not playing. Oh, well, he's holding out cause of his contract. Oh, Lamar did this. So, yeah, it's definitely a distraction. And he said, what will it take for the issue to be resolved? And do you think the Ravens even have the cap to pay Lamar what he deserves? They certainly got the cap to do it. It's just a matter of if they want to. Now, what will it take for it to be resolved? They would either have to pay him or trade him. Simple as that, and straightforward as that. And he said, the head coach should be in the offensive and defensive playbooks, not micromanaging, but understanding and influencing the style of play calling, possibly making a different call over the coordinator due to situational football. Now, you said the head coach should be in the offensive and defensive playbooks. I think he certainly plays a fact in those. I know a lot of people always talk about, oh, a hotball don't even know X's and O's like that or whatnot. But when you said, he shouldn't be micromanaging, but he should be understanding and influencing the style of play calling. He certainly does that. He certainly does that for sure with the Ravens. And then he said, the open offensive coordinator position needs to be filled by someone not already involved with the team. And yeah, I agree. I agree that it should be somebody who's not a family friend, not family, but somebody who truly is the best man for the job. Next question came from my guy, the legit goal. He said, I'm the only one who thinks this, and this was before Roman got released. He said, yes, I believe we need to fire Roman, but I also believe we're in a great position for next year. I believe we will be signing Lamar. Again, my reason are that he did say he wanted to bring a Super Bowl to Baltimore and plenty of players, friends and family, even media teams say Lamar is the man of his word. Not saying we're gonna get that Super Bowl with Roman as OC, but why would he say that if he didn't mean it? And I could get it. It could have been a thing in a moment, but I don't believe so. I also believe we will sign Lamar because I read a lot of reports and tried adding the math myself correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong. But the start of the 2023 season with all the free agents, plus the players we might cut, we might possibly have about 48.8 mil in cap space next year. Now I know that probably won't be enough to sign Lamar with what he's asking for and we might have to release some more players in a depth chart, but we have five tight ends for what? We all know for a fact. After YRT was on the roster now, we'll be going next year. When Bateman and Dube come back, keep JK and Gus for the third string, running back on the practice squad, hoping they pass through Avers and all that and use them for call-ups. I don't want the Baltimore Ravens trying to do is convince Lamar that they want him to sign him for a good amount of money, but more team-friendly so they can re-sign or sign or re-sign other players. So I do believe we will sign Lamar. It's just taken longer than any of us at the end of the bar fans would like. And I'm saying they will give Lamar help, but that's what they want him to believe. And he's not believing any of it. I know this sounds crazy, but we should also trade Ronnie Stanley. Think about it. All right, so first, before we get to that part, Ronnie Stanley ain't going nowhere, by the way. And if they trade him like trading them or cutting him, there will be so much dead money on the cap. It would not be worth it at all. Ronnie Stanley just got to hope that he remains healthy. That's it, because when he's healthy, I mean, minus against Trey Hendrickson, but besides that, Ronnie Stanley is healthy. He's really good. He's really good, but that's, you just hope he stays healthy. Now with the cap space, yeah, there's so many different things that can impact the cap space. There's draft picks, there's free agents, there's guys that they sign the future deals. There's resigning their own free agents. Lamar's not going to take up no 48 meal on a cap space. No, they got plenty of space to resound Lamar if they really want to get it done. Now back to the Ronnie Stanley party. He said he's a good player, but he rarely has played a full season and we paying him more money than he wants. Oh, he been giving us, when it comes to playing time, we cut him. That would definitely free up cap if we give his contract to another team. Didn't get into the thought of where to trade him to and want to get him for, I don't know, we could get a good amount because we know EDC loves those draft picks, but sometimes you have to lose something good to gain something great. I like that saying, but if you trade Ronnie Stanley, yeah, you can get some draft picks, but you're going to be having a lot of dead money on your cap with that. I don't know, I'm just trying to see ways thinking positive about the whole situation and how to keep Lamar been watching since 2019. I wanted to say thank you for getting me through my days at work. Listening to you with my air pods on this. This is my first time ever sending a question. I don't know why, but I'm kind of nervous to do it, but just like I'm hoping Lamar won't be in 2023. I'm out. Hey, now I appreciate this, man. I hope that while you're working, you don't get too distracted or nothing, or hopefully the videos, they don't put you to sleep. The length of this next question, it looks like this is going to be the last one on this episode. Ravens fall from grace. Next question came from my guy, Mark. He said, hey, buddy. I appreciate your videos this season. I found you around week two to three. Oh, so around, who do we play week one? The Jets week two was, what are the dolphins? Week two? And week three, I think was the bill. So I don't even remember, but I appreciate it, glad you came through, man. It's nice of you content that is not filtered through purple glass. You know what's funny? Just to talk about that real quick. Cause I've seen, I think it was after the presser. Saw a couple of people. I saw one guy saying, this is going to be the last time you get in my view, buddy. I was thinking, oh, okay. I guess that's that. I guess he didn't like the videos. And that's fine. That's fine. If you don't like it, just press the X button on YouTube player, whatever, close it out or scroll somewhere else and find something else. I get that. Not everybody's going to like our style. And that's fine. I respect that so much. I respect it. I would not ever want anybody to be sitting there watching something that they did not like. That is crazy to me. That just wouldn't make any sense. So if you don't like it, you can keep going. That's fine. Then there was a, I saw somebody else say, man, you must have something against the Ravens, man. Why are you so negative? And I was thinking, what, negative? No. Honest? Yeah. Negative? No. I'm not on here saying, oh, I hate everything that the Ravens do. They do this bad, that bad, that bad, that bad. I mean, we'll talk about the bad stuff that they do. We'll also acknowledge the good stuff that they do as well. And I think there was like one more person that said the same thing in the video about reviewing the press conference. And I think they took my message the wrong way. My message, because my message in that video, they said a lot of great things, but seeing is believing. Because they say all this stuff, which is nice, but we have a lot of reasons to be pessimistic about it. To where we want to see it be proven. We added that the talk game is great, but we want to see it be put into action. Because again, they can say all the great stuff, but if they're not delivering on that, then that's that. And I know some people took that, oh, are you being negative, buddy? And I'm like, hey, well, however you feel is how you feel. If I can't change that, I can't. I can only be me. So for anybody who's ever watched any video, I thank you very, very much. Very, very much. And now while I was talking, I end up losing the question. So give me one second so I can pull it up. If I can find it, oh, no, no, no, no, nope, nope. There it goes, I found it. All right, we back now. So let's run it back. It said, hey, buddy, I appreciate your video this season. I found you around week two to three. It's nice to view content. That's not filtered through purple glasses. We like the Ravens, but let's keep it real for sure. Exactly, that's how I feel about it, man. We love these Ravens, we love them. And honesty is the best policy for me. I'm not somebody who, and I think that's what I think a lot of people do. They take the fact that I think, and you see people try to pin their fandom against like other fans and stuff. I'm a better fan than you. You're not a real fan, cause X, Y, Z. If you don't, there's a lot of fans that feel like if you don't just blindly follow the team, then you're a fake fan. You're not a real fan. If you don't just take everything that the Ravens say for what it is, if you don't agree with every single move that the Ravens make, then you're a fake fan, buddy. And I think that actually, like, anyway. So, is it more importantly, you keep it clean? I will join the support team when I can. You already did, man, for supporting the channel. So you're good, man. My thoughts, I needed a night to sleep on this. I woke up with some good clarity and I am peaceful. Hey, that's always good when you got peace, man. I said, I can only give the Ravens my emotional energy for three hours. As you know, it takes a bit longer to get over losses sometimes. It depends on who you are. For me, usually a couple of minutes. That's, yeah, usually a couple of minutes. Even the playoff loss, like, when it happened, like, during the game, you see all this stuff, you get frustrated and whatnot. But, like, right after the game, especially that one, especially since Lamar didn't play two, I think that helped me get over it a lot quicker. I mean, I don't usually be, like, sulkin' over the losses or anything like that. But, yeah, it's just a couple of minutes for me for this last one. But anyway, let's keep going. He said, my father, me and my brother have had season tickets to the Ravens since 96. Shout out to section 105. Oh, y'all got good seats. Y'all got good seats. I think, yeah, y'all, yeah, y'all got really good seats. He said, I've poured my soul out to them hundreds of times since 18 of my father passed. We have been selling some of the weeks here and there. Hey, sorry to hear about your dad, man. Sorry to hear about that. I appreciate you sharing that, though, man. So that, like, I'm sure that makes you just, it makes you appreciate Raven stuff so much more because of the memories that you got with your dad, man. He said, this was the first year we sold all the games. I mean, it's a whole day investment from tailgating to post tailgating and then traffic back home. You ain't lying. You ain't lying. A football game is an all-day experience because, yeah, it's a lot. It is a lot. It ain't for everybody. It is a lot. It's fun. It's even more fun when your team wins. It's like, it's way more fun when your team wins. When your team loses, it's still gonna be fun, but it's a little different. But anyway, he said, running a business and raising a family doesn't allow for this anymore. Priorities, brother. I hear you. He said, next step may be to sell the PCOs this off-season. In today's world, it's not worth it anymore. I don't get back what I put in. Oh, that's real right there. He said, the sad state of affairs that is the Lamar, Jackson, Baltimore, Raven, Saga can be nicely split between the two parties involved. For Lamar's part, injured or not, you need to have clear communication with those that support you. Love rooting for you in the organization that pays you. You have proven yourself, no doubt, but the Ravens were the only team that saw your potential on draft day. See, that part, I disagree with that part. They're the only team that, I mean, only one team can draft a player because a player can't be drafted multiple times. But Lamar definitely would have got drafted for sure. He just would have probably got drafted in the second round. That's it. And I mean, obviously we'll never know, but that part, the Ravens were the only team that saw you, I disagree with that. But anyway, he said, fast forward, I'm a man that likes to handle my own business. So I respect an athlete repping himself, but never understood the, it's football time and no more negotiations thing. Roquan Smith proved you can negotiate during the season and cash in based on a few current weeks of production. If you are going to be your own agent, you can't shut the doors on your agency because football is happening. It's immature and not good business in my opinion. You have to cash in when you're hot. And if he would have negotiated, say week six to eight, he would have got what he wanted because he was at the top of the league in most categories. The losses we suffered with defensive breakdowns, not offensive struggles. Interesting. I don't think him shutting it down during the football season is immature. I just think he just, cause he knows how this thing works. Like Roquan Smith is a great player, phenomenal player, but his name is not Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson's name alone, like versus a Roquan Smith name, completely different energy towards it from the league, from fans, from everybody. Roquan Smith does, and again, this is not a shot at him. This is just their names. Roquan Smith's name doesn't even gonna have the attention that Lamar Jackson's name does at all and it's not close at all. So with Lamar Jackson, he could have negotiated during the season. There could have been a back and forth of stuff during the season. But you see like, I think that he, and he said, he didn't want it to be a distraction for him. He said he just wanted to focus on football, but had he been negotiating during the season, no stuff gets out, stuff can leak and stuff like that. And as it did before the season, you see how much of a distraction this whole thing has been toward the end of this season. I think if he would have been negotiating during the season, it would have been an even bigger distraction, not only for him, but for the whole team too. Like it has been, because they get asked all the questions about it too. Hey, where's Lamar? Hey, what's going on? So, yeah. Anyway, he said, as far as his injury, I am old school and he should have wrapped it up and went out there and fought because nobody's guaranteed tomorrow. He would have been rewarded in the end. There are countless examples where a player put a team over self throughout football history. Vic Woodson, Sean Payton are not in that locker room or in his body, but they have a right to their opinions because they lived it. Well, Sean Payton, I don't know about Sean Payton, but the other one's maybe in place. He said the old line would have kept him clean, no doubt. What? That old line? Hold up now, buddy. That old line? You sure? That, whoa, heavy disagree on that one. But no, oh, yeah, highly doubted, highly doubted. And as far as him going out there, yeah, nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. As far as playing in the NFL, I mean, he is. He's guaranteed another shot. But if you go out there, like, and now, you take it a step further because you talked about the contract before and that being a, or I talked about it being a distraction to the team, what if you go out there and you're hurt and you, like, you can't contribute to this team the way that you want to. So, with you being hurt, yeah, I know a lot of people say, hey, yeah, put a brace on it. Like Vic said, put a brace on it and go out there. If you're hurt and you go out there, you could hinder the team more than you could end up helping them. So that, yeah, anyway, he said the old line would have kept him clean, no doubt. I know he wasn't, I know he wasn't 100% as he stated, but that's what ice is for. If it's all about the bag, then say it and we can move on. Again, if he would have said that, distraction. Hey, hey, team, right before the playoff game, I'm holding out because I ain't get paid yet. Distraction, see? Plenty of successful athletes have put that money first over team, but they said it. For the Ravens, please scream. This is their formula, sad but true. On defense, they open up the checkbook, which I love. What Ravens fan doesn't appreciate bullies on defense. Yeah, that's true, but on offense, they play three-card Monty. They pay interior trench guys first, then tight ends, and the rest, oh, not so much. Flacco got his only because he put together a four-game span that rivals any history and the owner challenged him publicly before he did it. You notice Mr. B didn't do that this time around. He said, he said, I ain't calling the mile, buddy. No, I ain't doing it. I ain't doing it because I ain't trying to go through this again. Oh, but anyway, running backs, we just keep drafting them wide receivers. Ha, I guess we don't need them in QB's good luck. We need a system overhaul as you stated many times in different words. I, for the first time, think Harbs needs to go, along with Jiro and a few others. Defense is fine and almost a separate entity. Yeah, the defense is fine. They are fine. Now, yeah, Jiro is going. Harbs is remaining. He's staying. They let that be known yesterday. So yeah, now we ride it out again with Harbs and see how it goes. Hope for the best. I appreciate and love a great running game in Smash Mouth trench warfare, but we need to be able to rely on wide outs from time to time. For example, Tori Smith and Anquan Bolton. Yes, they were such a perfect pair. So we're still looking for that with the Ravens. We're thinking, hey, maybe it could be Rashad Bateman in Hollywood, but injuries took that away from us and then Hollywood was taken away from us by the Cardinals. So they did get a first round pick for him, which was that great trade value for Hollywood. And they got Tyler Linderbaum and he was a really good center as far as being a run block, I know pass blocking, but yeah, he could work on it. So he should be finding the long run. He also said, regarding last night and the possibility of trying to control the narrative with the Lamar saga, what a better way to gain an advantage in negotiations than to try a QB dive over the top from the two to make it about Huntley rising to the occasion, blah, blah, blah. See, there were some people that pointed that out. Only a few people have seen pointed out. You like maybe like the third maybe. I haven't seen too many people point that out, but I'm like, man, that is, that's a really good point. That's a really good point because that's real right there. That's business right there. Hey, look, look what we did with Huntley. Look what we did with Huntley. I mean, you could say we need you, but we don't need you as much as you think we need you. Huntley got this. Look what he did in his playoff game. Look at him like you mentioned, rise to the occasion. He showed up when it mattered most. Oh yeah, we good with Huntley. We don't need you. But anyway, he said, a total injustice for us as fans and the players. I'm not a coach, but I've played ball. You have at your disposal the bus. 230 pounds of Nigerian nightmare. Historically over five yards per carry. J.K. Dobbins, a beast who begged for the ball all week. And the Ravens, and the Ravens true wide receiver one project fat. 310 pounds of hurt. All of what you're capable of pushing the pile forward. No, they give it to the lightest choice in the backfield in some strange soap opera twists to hopefully create a narrative they want. See, we don't need to pay them more. Well, now they can take that decision just like Pete Carroll passing the ball on the goal line with one of the most dominant backs of the decade. It's unacceptable. And unlike Hobbs, I'm backing it up. Turning them off though. I will tune into your content this off season. Keep up the good work and shout out to Mark. Appreciate that Mark. This was a good one. This was a good one. He took it a lot of different places, but yeah, I appreciate it. That was a really fun one to do. I appreciate you. The way that you broke everything down and gave your opinions on everything. That was good, man. So yeah, I mean, that's that. He laid a lot of stuff out. Touched on a lot of different topics. And that was a wonderful way to in this episode a question from subs. This feels like a dream. I know just what I mean. What I mean. You too, team. Keep it clean. You see my boy. He like, I done made it. I done made it. Well, that's my homie. Ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. Right engraving. Shout out to engraving.
