 Now, if y'all know me, then y'all know I am super basic. My YouTube setup is basic. Added in the videos, it's basic. The way that I dress, T-shirt and some basketball shorts and some crocs, it's basic. And I could go on and on and on about just how simple of a person I am. In my basicness, it transfers to my drinks as well. I don't need all the fancy, pretty stuff. Just give me the chaser, the alcohol, and the red cup and I'll be good to go. But Shaker and Spoon, they said nah, we about to change it up a little bit. And what Shaker and Spoon is, it's a subscription box to where they say, hey, you are not just gonna be some basic bartender with us. No, we're gonna help you fancy it up and pretty it up a little bit. They not only send out instructions for you to make different drinks using whatever your favorite type of liquor is, they also include every single ingredient that you need in order to get your drink popping. So it's time for us to get the mixing, baby. Shaker and Spoon box that we chose is called a naeho, let's go. And what a naeho means is age tequila or rum. Each box comes with multiple recipes, so let's just choose one at random. Any mini, mini, mo, the beat goes on. We're called for two ounces of tequila, one half ounce of this spice moho syrup, which I just spilled on my phone. And it says three dashes, not drops, but three dashes of old fashioned bitters blend. So let me try to get this, one, two, three. I think that was more of a drop than a dash. And then one to two spritzes of spiced lemon oil. And again, all of this stuff was already included in the box. All you gotta do is show up and bring your favorite liquor. Now it says for me to fill the glass with ice. Use a bar spoon to stir until the mixing glass feels ice cold. Test. It's getting there. All right, we're good. You know what? I actually forgot that we had one of these. So our mixing glass is now ice cold. So now it says to take this and strain it into a rocks glass over a fresh large ice cube. We didn't have the fresh large one, but we decided we wanted to innovate and just add three ice cubes. And the last step says for the aromatic finishing touch spray the spiced lemon oil over the top of the drink. There we go. And we're gonna call this the Raven relaxer because after a stressful game from the Ravens, they'll make you need one of these. Oh, oh, that's strong. Like I added a little extra tequila, but it's good. But you can go to shakeandspoon.com and choose your favorite box so you can mix it up probably a little better than I did. Use cold TKIC for a discount. You know drinking alcohol is only for people that are 21 years of aging up and make sure you drink responsibly. See my boy, he like automated. So y'all gonna have a drink with questions from subscribers now? What? Let me know. Anyway, first question came from my guy Elijah. He said, A, engraving hope everything is well with you and your family and hope y'all are having a wonderful summer. I remember one of the first questions I sent to you was about John Harbaugh in the coaching carousel which leads me to my question I heard in one of your question videos that a sub had the Ravens finishing 10 and seven. I had us with two more wins, but how do you think Raven season will fair out? I say 17 games like 12 and five. Yeah, probably about 12 and five. I think that's a record that the Ravens could have. You know how Ravens get down. They're some games where you absolutely think they for sure gonna win and they lose them. It's other games where you think, oh man, they about to lose and they win them. They do a lot of winning though. As long as the Marjaxon is healthy, he's a quarterback. I expect him to continue to do a lot of winning with him under center, but actually under center too because actually having a lot of plays under center because that would be nice. That would open up the flavor. But anyway, let's get to the what if game section of this question. Because we're gonna do some what if. We're gonna play what if when it comes to the Ravens. Well, let's see what he had to say. He said, if the Ravens finished 10 and seven or 12 and five, but don't make the AFC championship game. Does hardball deserve to get fired? Will he get fired? No. Will he deserve to get fired? So much will just depend on so much. We can't just say, all right, if Ravens don't make AFC championship game, hardballs out of here, no matter what. Because so much depends on, well, why didn't he make the AFC championship game? How did the team lose whatever game eliminated them from making it to the AFC championship game? Was it the offense? Was it the defense? Were they just consistently unprepared in the playoffs? What was it? What was the issue? So much depends on so much. So it's very hard to say. But then this next ball, he said, if the Ravens fired John hardball, even though you know that they won't, but he just talking about what if. I actually never say never because you never know. But again, we're hoping that the Ravens have a lot of success this season. We obviously hope that they win the Super Bowl. So we don't want nobody to get fired. Cause anyway, we still playing the what if game. He said, if the Ravens fired John hardball, should the first phone call be to Sean Payton. Ooh, yikes. In a good way, yikes. If that were to happen to John hardball. Because with Sean Payton, it's like, see my mic wasn't even ready for this question. You just know me. I just know if, if we got a Sean Payton, I know this guy, he would get everything out of Lamar Jackson. If we got somebody like Sean Payton, I would not have a lot of the worries and concerns that I currently have right now when it comes to the use of one Lamar Jackson. Because I know he would just extract everything out of Lamar Jackson skill wise. Passing, running, everything. And just the concepts, the offense, getting a bunch of different guys involved. We watched this guy. We saw what he did with Drew Brees. It's like, okay, somebody could be like, oh, oh yeah, that's Drew Brees. Okay, cool. Look what we have one Teddy Bridgewater got in there. Look what he did with Taysome Hill. Even though some of that is like, Taysome, Taysome Hill, yikes. But Jamie Swinster, give me Jamie Swinster for 500. So you see what he's done with all these different players and then you think about all the different receipt that they got these guys involved in different ways. They actually, they get their receivers involved in different ways. So many of them. We saw Marcus Colston. We saw Ted Ginn. We saw, oh, it's in Marquez Callaway. We see Trey Kwan Smith. The guy that I'm thinking of, I cannot remember his name right now off the top of my head and it's driving me crazy. He's from a little ways back though. But anyway, oh my God, yeah. So if, if hardball were to get fired, I would not mind if they gave that guy Sean Payton a call. He said, I believe if hardball doesn't make a Super Bowl run this year, it should be his last. Oh, oh, you ended it off like that. Well, they certainly have had some teams. They certainly have had some rosters. And I think with hardball this year, so much is just about smart decision-making and holding guys accountable. And this is nothing. No, we said this early this off season. That's what I'm looking at with John Hardball this year. Holding guys accountable, holding himself accountable too. Holding guys accountable, especially like coaches and stuff, and making smart decisions. I don't feel like thinking about those two-point conversion plays in a lot of them that really shouldn't have been, that didn't need to be. And just really him being willing to step in, even though that's not really him a lot of times, but him being willing to step in. Hey, offensive coordinator slipping, step in. Defensive coordinator slipping, step in. They don't really have any problems on special teams, but step in, step in and step up. And real quick, special shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean patrons, the two newest patrons being Ed Elle and Chris Oz. I appreciate everybody who's a patron. Thank you, because again, that's something that y'all ain't gotta do, but the fact that y'all do it, appreciate it a lot. If you wanna become a Team Keep It Clean patron, you can go to Patreon.com slash Engraven Vids. And if you don't want to, the love ain't going nowhere, still. Love y'all, still. You know that already. But this next question, it came from a patron, my guy, named that y'all are very familiar with, question from subscribers, M.G. Say it was good Engraven. So yesterday I was looking at some articles and ran into a Bleacher Report article about predicting the biggest bust on the 2022 season. They listed Devon Duvenay for the Ravens, although the writer made one point that I kind of agree with, which was Ravens might have regrets. I for one disagree with the rest of the argument he made. I'll link the article to you below. Let me know your thoughts. You and the fam stay safe, healthy, and peace. Appreciate it. So, oh, the biggest bust for the 2022 season. Wow, I hadn't heard about this one, but they chose Devon Duvenay. Part of Kay's reasoning was about how Duvenay doesn't have big stats to show from a receiving perspective over his first two years in the league. Well, yeah, you're playing in offense that's not receiver-friendly. It's a run-first offense, run-heavy offense. You're not very receiver-friendly. But anyway, it says with Brown, Hollywood Brown, and Sammy Watkins now gone, Devon Duvenay is poised to step into the wide receiver two role across from Rashad Bateman. I don't know about that, but we'll see. While Duvenay has proven himself to be an elite return man, evidenced by his pro bow nod in 2021, he only has 53 career receptions for 473 yards and a pair of touchdowns since entering the league in 2020. Ooh, Kay also talked about how Baltimore would benefit from having a proven veteran on their roster and that they're likely to regret trusting Duvenay to be their second wide receiver option. Oh, yikes. Ooh, a proven veteran, huh? What do you say? Anyway, although Duvenay is confident he can thrive with an expanded workload, the Baltimore passing offense will be set back by the lack of battle-tested wideouts on the roster. The Ravens are likely to regret not drafting a replacement for Brown and trusting Duvenay to make a seamless transition to wide receiver two as they look to return to the playoffs following a disappointing 2021 season. Wow, lot to unpack there. Ooh, lack of battle-tested wideouts. Well, this will be their battle right here. Proving that they can do this thing, proving that they can get the job done, especially if the Ravens don't make a move at that position. So they will be, they may not be battle-tested now, but they will be battle-tested moving forward. I'm thinking, as of right now, the player that I feel like would have the biggest chance to be Ravens the wide receiver two is Tyler Wallace. I think it's Tyler Wallace. If you say it's healthy, Tyler Wallace. And it's, oh man, with the Ravens it's just, oh, it's just so many just unknowns right now. In training camp, of course, gonna start getting some stuff sorted out and whatnot, but we're gonna see how it all shakes out. But Devin Duvenay being a bust, one of the bigger busts for the Ravens in the 2022 season. I can't really see him being a bust because in my opinion, a bust is somebody who has super high expectations for them. Devin Duvenay doesn't have that. He doesn't have these super high expectations. Nobody expecting Devin Duvenay. Oh man, he's gonna get like 13, 1200, 1300 yards and eight, nine, 10 touchdowns and whatnot. And just, I don't think anybody's expecting that. If he got that, that'd be nice. But there's not this high level of expectation there. So if he ended up having a disappointing 2022 season, which we hope he doesn't, but if he did end up having a disappointing 2022 season, it would not be considered a bust. Bigger than Roman. Next question came from my guy, Rodeo. He said, good morning my guy, straight to it. I'm not sure if the Roman slander been highlighted more than right now, but by a wide receivers who signed elsewhere continues to grow louder and louder. I completely understand that this truly isn't a wide receivers dream scheme and it's more like a wide receiver retirement home. With that said, I still feel it's not 100% Roman's fault. Baltimore can't get his guys at wide receiver. That's true. We've been on that. It's much deeper and bigger than Greg Roman. This has been an issue for a long time. Anyway, let's continue. He said, number one, since the Baltimore Ravens came into the existence, it's been known for two things, defense and running the ball. After that, the next best thing was probably kickers and tight ends. The Ravens never, and I mean, never valued wide receiver and always got the crumbles out of the jar just to get by. This was way before Roman. You clearly see not much has changed in the Ravens values and principles as they swear by stock piling draft picks, heavily pursuing on defense and running the ball and of course a good kicker and tight end. We all know money talks and the stuff we flush walks. The Ravens double dip and even take triple trips for guys on the defensive side of the ball. They even retain most after their contract expires. If the Ravens truly pursue the wide receiver and not shown interest, I'm sure things would be different. And of course, when I say pursue, I mean with that bag, not the change purse. You get what you pay for. So being cheap in this area has resulted in cheap play. It's the reason the top five wide receivers are making 90 plus million dollars. While Roman is indeed the lead horseman in the fiasco during the fall of the Ravens today, could it be at all possible of other reasons? Yes, Lamar is generational, beloved, a superstar, future Hall of Famer special, different, et cetera. Could some guys love from afar and just not want to ball with him? His best friend was here and left to go elsewhere. Business is business and will always come first. No matter other guys' feelings toward Lamar, they can love from afar. We can't assume every wide receiver like or love Lamar and will want to play with him, even though it would kind of be hard to understand why they wouldn't. For that part, especially with the Hollywood part, Hollywood knows it's a run for its offense. He knows that better than anybody. He's coming up in contract time. He's already just been frustrated with the offense, already complained publicly about the offense from years ago and that continued and he won it out. He won it out. He said to himself, it ain't got nothing to do with Lamar, it's an offense. He said Lamar could run any type of offense he gets put into. Hollywood did not have to say that. He ain't had to say that he was not axed at, but he said that on multiple occasions. That's not Lamar, he said it's the offense. So, and the results, you see the results for themselves. They showed themselves over the years. Look at any of Greg Roman's offenses and just look. We're gonna see it. Hollywood, if you were a wide receiver, you seen all these crazy wide receiver contracts and you're like, man, oh, my time is coming up. And you have an opportunity to go to a past first offense with somebody that you already have rapport with? Oh, yeah, no brainer. Anyway, he said all in all, yes, Roman is the headline of the show called We Can't Be Supreme in Your Scheme. Roman is indeed at the top of the depth chart and we may not see change until he is gone, but even after he leaves, can we guarantee change? No, we can't because even before he got there, it was the same thing. He said, it may be likely guys would be more willing to come with a different OC, but with the Ravens pay. Prices will only continue to go up on superstar talent. Are some guys continuing to monitor Lamar's progression? Even in a past heavy Ravens attack, if the Beals and Josh Allen under chiefs in the homes can offer the same money, would a wide receiver choose Lamar? Gotta ask all these questions. Hmm, that's a good question. And it would just depend. It would depend on what type of opportunity that wide, first it would depend on the money, obviously, first and foremost, that's the biggest thing. But then it would depend on the opportunity that wide receiver would get. If that wide receiver would significantly get real opportunity in Buffalo, or real opportunity in KC, or real opportunity with the Ravens. Next question came from Sterling. And let me just commend y'all, cause y'all are just fire with these questions. I love it. He said, what's up in Graven, quick question. I know you've been talking about Baltimore trading for a veteran wide receiver. What do you think about us drafting a low, oh, excuse me, I read it wrong. What do you think about us trading a low draft pick? Like a fifth or sixth round pick for Robbie Anderson. Here's a couple of reasons why I think he fits. First off, Lamar was seen hanging with Robbie Anderson when he didn't come to OTAs. Well, they both from South Florida. They both from Browell County, so it was bound to happen. But anyway, he said, secondly, I believe Robbie is from Florida too. Shoulda read it. Secondly, I believe Robbie is from Florida too. Lastly, he is the perfect Hollywood replacement for what he does. A speedy wide receiver that can take the top off of defenses. I think he'd be a great number two to Rashad Bateman. Also, Baker just got traded to the Panthers and Robbie tweeted a couple of months ago that he didn't want to bake on a team. So to eliminate the drama, just bring him to Baltimore for the low. Thanks and Graven, keep up the great work. Appreciate it. I love how Robbie Anderson, we know he ain't no fan of Baker may feel it. And that's okay. I love how he covered it up though. Cause he was like, hey, I was just, I was just backing my quarterback. I was just backing Sam Donald. And that was my quarterback at the time. So I was just backing him. Me personally, I didn't believe him. I just felt like he just, he wasn't feeling back at all. Cause he never said like, hey, we got Sam Donald already. We straight. He's just like, no. But anyway, Robbie Anderson, yeah, for, for, especially for what you said, like a fifth or sixth round pick. Oh yeah, no problem at all. No problem at all. He obviously cool with Lamar. So they will have that, that off the field chemistry. And when you got off field chemistry, that can turn to on the field chemistry as well. We'll give us a deep threat. You have a little drop issues here and there, but he got the speed and he would be playing on his first winning team. So that can really change your complete mindset. Next question came from my boy, Justin C. He said, what's up? How you on the fam do? And we are doing really good. Do you think Patrick Queen will break out this season when him having all the starters back on defense plus the new pieces the Ravens got? I see Patrick Queen having a huge breakout yet with this team. Hope you and the fam having a good day. Stay safe. Appreciate it, JC. I couldn't see that. Everything just depends on him being comfortable, knowing his assignment, knowing what he has to do and then tackling. He improves on those two things, especially tackling alone, then the sky is the limit. It really is. And I don't just say that just to say that. I don't just say that because I'm a Raven fan. I'm saying that because with Patrick Queen, you see, you continue to see so many glimpses here and there like, oh, wow. Oh, nice. But then you see the hiccups too. And the hiccups are usually, usually the hiccups of Patrick Queen is just missed tackles or just confusion. But he's in his third year. So we're gonna see this year. We're really gonna see, because this is crunch time. Next question came from my guy, Logan. He said, what are your thoughts on Orlando Brown Jr. and the chief's issues that they've been having? He wants top pay and they don't think he's worth it. Thank you for keeping it real. Appreciate it, Logan. I don't even think it's that they don't think he's worth it. They offered him a contract, but it wasn't that top dollar contract. And when you are a really good player and the market has already let you know what top money is, you want to achieve that top money and you don't wanna settle. So I commend Orlando Brown Jr. for not settling. Right now, apparently he's holding out of training camp and whatnot. It doesn't want to play for them or not even necessarily holding out because he doesn't have a contract. They franchise tagging him. I don't think he signed his franchise tag yet, but he's holding out. So we're gonna see what happens with it. But no, you're worth. No, you're worth. And I respect players that just know they're worth and they do not want to settle for less. Next question came from my guy, BB. He said, I'm ready to hear something positive about Lamar. Like he has 41 wins and 17 losses. I thought it was like 37 and 12, wasn't it? Anyway, you tell you name is MVP, youngest player to win the Heisman, et cetera. Best offensive player the Ravens have ever had. As a Ravens fan for 26 years, Ravens need to sign him and show Lamar how important he is to this franchise and to this community. Hey, what do you see? And for Ravens to sign him, it takes two. Lamar would have to want to sign as well. And one of the only things that I think could possibly be holding Lamar back from signing is whatever the Ravens are offering. Or he could really be thinking, not even necessarily even deeper than that, but just another thing he could be thinking of another route. He could be thinking about what they're gonna do for him. Long term. Because he can sign. He can sign right now for a whole lot of money. But he could be thinking even beyond just the money. He could be thinking about legacy. How are these Baltimore Ravens gonna set me up for success? How are these Baltimore Ravens gonna help me out so I can really be the best Lamar Jackson I can be? What kind of weapons are they gonna provide for me? Are they really gonna go all in? Are they really going to really try to win? Are they gonna really try to take this thing to the next level? Hey, I'm working on me. I'm trying to be the best that I can possibly be. But how's the coaching staff gonna be? Who's the personnel gonna be? What kind of plays we gonna be running? How's our scheme gonna be? He could be thinking about all of that too. Next questions came from my boy, Slurred Nowinski. He said, yo, what's good, bro? Hope all is well with you and yours. Quick question, could Lamar Jackson be a prisoner of his own success? You said Allen was questioned and they got digs. He skyrocketed. Kyler was questioned, they got de-hopping. Moore and he skyrocketed. Lamar won MVP with a hurt rookie, Seth Roberts. LOL, no knock to Seth and Snead and a hurt Hollywood. But yeah, you get what I'm saying. You think his ability to do a lot more with less is hurting him. Look at Kyler, he has had everything and he has done nothing honestly. But when you look at Lamar, he's doing it all. That is, that's a great question. And yeah, I think that that right there, they look at that like, all right, so we could upgrade a little areas here and they're like offensive line and they have a lot of Ravens fans thinking that too. Oh, we upgrade the offensive line. That's all we need to do. We straight. We saw what Lamar did with back in 2019 with that. It's all he did in 2020 with that. So all we need is offensive line. He'll be straight. He could do the same thing. We got a great season. He was like that. We got Mark Andrews. One of the best tight ends in the league. That should be enough. But yeah, so yeah, I do. And I think with, yeah, man, you just look around the league, man. And you see what's going on. Man, that's a sad story. Anyway, he said, I also understand that Lamar I hate this real, but it's not even about Lamar. Have you ever thought it's because of the overall team being overachievers? I know it sounds crazy, but we can go down a list of almost every player on the roster, especially the strongest parts. One is a quarterback that can play quarterback, but he ends up being the top five QB in the league. One undrafted running back, then another running back that they took too high. Best backfielder in the NFL. I don't know about the best. They're a really good one. I don't know about the best. But anyway, he's at a third round placeholder at tight end. Now he's a top three, if not the top tight end in the league. Speaking about Mark Andrews. A left tackle that was considered an injury prone bus. You know, I have never been a big fan, but he's not what they say he is. He just needs to be healthy. Now, who's that about? Left tackle that was considered an injury prone bus. That's not Ronnie Stanley. I don't know what you're talking about. Cause it's not Orlando Brown Jr. Oh, maybe I guess you're talking about Orlando. I mean, Ronnie Stanley, because he said he just needs to stay healthy. So, okay, I think, okay, I get what you're saying. So he's saying that Ronnie Stanley was considered a bus and when the Ravens picked him, it's considered injury prone. Well, that ended up being true by the injury prone part. Then anyway, he said an outside linebacker that had zero sex his last year in college, but then his stats are right behind the player that won defensive rookie of the year with multiple sex. So he talking about, I was about to say a job, but he talking about a daffy away. One, a cornerback that doesn't tackle at all, gambles too much, high risk, low reward. Surprisingly, one of our better tacklers, he took out Derek Henry on his back pockets. Also, it's been a high reward, low risk with gambling. So he talking about Marcus Peters. And then he said Lamar does play a part because everybody is mad that they were wrong about him, but they were wrong about his whole team. And I think it just kills them. And they directed all to the QB, formerly known as eight, but soon to be one. Oh, I really do hope he changes his number to one. That will make us so happy. We would love that. And he said, also, I have a hot take. Uh-oh, let's see. The Ravens were going to the year with the worst wide receiving room, but come week 10, they will be considered top five. Yeah, you gotta take, yeah, you gotta take, you gotta take all right. Yeah, this, yeah. Yeah, that'd be nice. And I hope you're right. But let's see what you're talking about. Because when it comes down to it, every season he proves everybody wrong and they move the goalposts. Well, they're starting to run out of space. So at this point, they're going to say he has too much help and try to down him because, well, that's what they do. Bateman and them got that dog in them and it's going to show. All right, hey, I hope you're right. I know they got hot. I know they obviously got that for show, but now I got to show up on the field. That skill got to show up on the field. So we going to see. We going to see. And he said, last but not least, I really feel like we have a new Lamar on our team, very skilled, high potential, very unorthodox and no, I'm not talking about a Snoop. Daniel Fahley, he's raw, but man, once he gets his legs up under, it's a wrap. Do you think that he will be a starter come mid season? I hope not. Now, reason I say that is because that would mean that our offensive line is healthy and everybody's doing a great job. That's the only reason why I would hope not. Now, if Daniel Fahley is better than somebody who's a starter, then, hey, yes, I would love him to be out there, but I would love if the guys that we got right now are doing a great job and they all keep their jobs. He said, and like the sports analysts will be once Lamar Jackson changes his number to one in a few months. I'm out. Appreciate it.
