 Now before we dive into this newest episode of NFL questions from subs I got to give a special shout out to all the team keeping clean patrons and the newest team keeping clean patrons It's Alfonso Michael J JT ball so hard and JT the Raven and to start us off We got the first question coming from one of the newest patrons JT The Raven and I appreciate you being a patron actually excuse me JT D The Raven I said hey, what's up in graven? Finally became a patron. I watch your videos every day Just wanted to know who do you think will be starting at running back in week one? Gus Edwards or J K Dobbins, who and that's a good question. Um, we has seen the clips Uh, when training camp and first started I haven't seen any since But we saw the clips from the I think the first day of training camp But it was like, oh jk dobbing. He was talking to John Harbaugh jk dobbing was running around He's trying to get on the field. He's trying to start training camp. He's trying to be activated off the physically unable to perform list So I think that he'll be back not necessarily any day now But I think if I had to choose between the two I would definitely pick jk dobbing because we haven't even seen gus Edwards out there We haven't seen him at all So that kind of makes me wonder like ooh is and and especially with the um, the they already Put him as um questionable for week one And when they did that it was like a month and a half before the game and I'm like thinking like what training camp hadn't even started yet We hadn't even been through preseason Definitely not even close to week one, but they had already declared Gus Edwards questionable. So I'm like, oh Yeah, that that doesn't all that adds up to not really sounding hopeful for Gus Edwards Being ready by the start of the season, but I mean it's still to be determined, but we haven't seen him at all We've seen Ronnie Stanley out there Standing on the sidelines and stuff But I haven't seen Gus Edwards at all Saw Marcus Peters like the first the first day we went there to the training camp and that was on thursday this past thursday Oh, so a week ago. Uh, we saw Marcus Peters even called our amp He did a little point because he had a hoodie That's the that's the only reason I know was Marcus Peters because he had a little hoodie on and the way that Marcus Peters has His hoodies is just like nobody else that has a hoodie like that Um, but we for Gus Edwards, we haven't seen him at all Not at all. Uh, so Um, I would have to go with uh, a jk Dobbins I think jk Dobbins has the highest chance of being ready by week one And even if it's not week one, then he has the highest chance of being ready earlier. Um, and then with uh With jk Dobbins and really with Gus Edwards really seems like with everybody what the Ravens are doing this year They're being extra cautious They're being extra cautious because it seems like they have learned their lesson from years past And especially last year Uh, but they learned their lesson when it comes to rushing guys back Ravens seem like they are going to be extra prepared. Uh, when it comes to bringing guys back from injury and that's a good thing Well, that's my homie ain't that right engraving right engraving Next set of questions also came from another patron Nazarene, and I appreciate you too And actually I got to go back because he sent a question that I had accidentally skipped Uh, he said what's good, bro? Have you seen what another anonymous defensive coordinator said about Patrick Mahomes? He said take his first read away. What does he do? He runs he scrambles and he plays streetball Uh, the anonymous defensive play caller on Patrick Mahomes via the athletic and yeah These these anonymous guys, I mean, I'll say it like this They um, if if you're gonna be anonymous then you must not really be that confident in what you're saying Because if you were that confident in what you were saying Then stand by it and the fact that they uh, they anonymously have been talking about Lamar Jackson Patrick Mahomes but Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson their success is not anonymous And the the success that their teams have had because of them is not anonymous So yeah, that's that. So anyway, uh his next question. He said that was good big homie. Yeah I just got done watching a video about odale beckham jr. He's one of my favorite players minus his time in cleveland ill But anyway, I don't really want him or will fuller on our team. Okay DK is dead to me. Uh, and so is shorty from the niners. Oh, wow He didn't even address debo by name. He said so is shorty from the nine. Anyway, nevertheless Do you and the fans remember when we were trying to get Adam Thielen during the ingotway trade? Yeah, I do remember that. Um, I do But vikings are like, nope No, thanks. But He said jesson jefferson believes he will get more touches this year More than cooper cup and more than davante adams since jesson jefferson has been in the league Thielen has been getting less and less touches That's the same thing that happened when stefan diggs got drafted I personally low key think ravens might still be liking to acquire him That would be a a sleeper that um, haven't really heard much about this year Adam thielen But who who are vikings other receivers? Like I feel like if you remove adam thielen from the vikings Then uh, that puts more pressure on jesson jefferson the more attention on jesson jefferson And I mean he's gonna get the attention regardless, but that puts even more attention on him um So I mean we'll see He said do you and the fans like adam thielen in a new purple uniform? I said, I see what you did there because he's already wearing purple Thielen can block and he has hands need a veteran in the locker room. That is a dog at receiver. Boom He's the one thanks for being consistent. Keep up the good work. Your channel has grown on me heavy. I appreciate it Sound like early on Was it really feeling it? But again, that's okay That's okay Because that reminds me what we always talk about not every not everything is for everybody And you you have uh, if you initially try something out Whether it's food whether it's a youtube channel whether it's this pair of shoes Whether it's a video game whether it's tv show whether it's a movie whatever it might be You initially try something out and you you don't like it. You could be like, all right. Nope. Not trying it again It ain't for me But then if you decide, you know what I'm gonna give it another shot Who knows? Hey, it could grow on you. That's what happened to me with chipotle He also said oh and adam thielen is a wide receiver 1b his situation with uh, Justin jefferson is like anquan bolden and larry legends larry fish jerry talking about Anquan bolden was a wide receiver 1b while justin jefferson stephan diggs and larry fish jerald Or wide receiver 1a adam thielen's numbers don't lie He has the odds the touchdowns and the eye test that shows He's elite. Oh that boy called him elite elite Yeah, that would certainly be a sleeper if they did circle back around to adam thielen and you know, they like uh where ravens They come back around for people that they really really liked it's having multiple times and it's gonna happen in the future too Like justin houston When justin houston first Became a free agent a couple years back ravens really wanted them they tried to get him But he ended up going to the cults. What happened last year. Well, you know the rest of the story um With uh, yannick and gackoy when the jaguars were first trying to trade him the ravens were like, oh, we like that guy Didn't work out. They didn't get him What happened? He went to the vikings and then the ravens were like, ah, this is our opportunity This is our chance and they did it. You know, I just got a lot of times. I forget about that trait Um, so ravens they are known to to to circle back around. So if they were to get adam thielen Um, oh, I wouldn't be mad at that. I wouldn't be mad at that because yeah, receiver with some good hands He's a little older a little older not like super old. Um I have that that that'd be straight Solid hands as far as being explosive because that's what I would want somebody who A big body or outside receiver explosive guy um Adam thielen he would he would be a solid addition though He would um, give us a proving guy. Like you said got good hands. Um, got experience in the league And could help make the ravens just add another shorthanded receiver to the guys that they have Um, would he really push them over the top like that? I think he'll certainly help. He'll certainly help. Um Hmm It's a really tricky one for me, man Uh Oof, it's it's a really tricky one for me because I know he is a red zone monster So that's a beautiful thing. Um, because it would just give lamar yet another target in the red zone seem like obviously mark Andrews is that him and rashaah baitman their connection is improving every day And to add adam thielen to to that especially in the red zone Uh, because the red zone is where ravens struggle a lot They they they struggle a lot from the 20 to the 20. Hey, we can tell me y'all's baby But then inside the 20 is like oof things can start to get a little bit ugly and questionable. Um So I wouldn't mind if they got adam thielen. They wouldn't be at the top of my list But if they got adam thielen, I'd be that'd be okay with it. Next question came from my god. Nox He said, what's good in graven? I hope you in the family. Good Is it weird that I think our passing game will be better without hollywood? Uh, when I was watching rashaah devin pro shea in thailand's highlights I thought about the fact that when hollywood touches the ball the play is over Whether it be a touchdown or a 10-yard pass. He wouldn't fight for extra yards All of our receivers now play physical and always looking for yak yards And that we just didn't get from hollywood now with that Because I know I was just talking to one of my guys about this or in the comment section a couple days ago And yeah, what hollywood with the uh the yak it was up and down If lamar hit hollywood and stride or he called it in stride Then he could again easily run for a lot of yak yards But um, it feels like a comeback route or something or slander and he got to create yak yards That's where it would get a little bit trickier. Um, because yeah, there will be a lot of times that he would just run out of bounds He would slide to the ground And it would be just the yak yards just wouldn't be there like that Um, there were some games like I think it was in the coast game where he brought that stiff arm out I was like, okay, let's go But we just would have wanted to see more of that. Um, and it could be him just second guessing himself the second guessing his body Uh, just him wanting to try to preserve his body as much as possible, especially him being a smaller Uh shorter wide receiver. Um, I think that had a lot to do with it. But yeah, not you you nailed it on the head Rashad Bateman was a yak monster from what we saw from him last year. Um James pro shade he gonna fight for Devin Duvenay. Um, a little pit bull Devin Duvenay He's gonna fight for it to Tylen Wallace as well. Um, so yeah, that that will make a big difference. Um with Just the offense period because that's big those extra two three yards Sometimes it could be extra two three yards. Sometimes it could be an extra eight nine Yeah, it like could you never know how a receiver is gonna stumble or fall forward and whatnot How they gonna break a tackle and then catch their balance and just keep on go You just never know because you you don't see any crazy stuff happening in that fail. So That yak will make a big difference. Um now with what you were talking about, uh, when you first mentioned better without hollywood um I uh, I wasn't even thinking about the yak that is a big part But I was just thinking about, um, lamar Haven't lamar not having some not to say he's not cool with the receivers because I ain't saying that But him not having like one of his best friends at the wide receiver position Uh, so there's less loyalty there. So with hollywood gone, there's less loyalty to the receivers So it's like, all right. Yeah, I am gonna look around a little bit more Because he obviously trusted hollywood. He gave hollywood a lot of opportunities and whatnot Um, so now it'll be like, okay, he might go through his Progressions that much more he already was going through his progressions, but now he could do it even more um, and he also said Something you said from one of your videos about hollywood's drops how they were emphasized because of the amount that we passed the football So it seems to hurt a lot more when he does drop passes true That's that's very true. Uh, because again, it's the the ravens passing volume is low So anything that they do good or bad is going to be emphasized that much more Um, but anyway, well, our current receivers have some of the best hands coming out of college So drops don't seem like they'll be a concern. I hope not. I hope not Um, so we'll see just wanted to know your thoughts and I appreciate all your videos They always help time go by faster when I'm at work or just sometimes something to tune into when I'm bored Appreciate it and I really appreciate all his honesty That's coming out in this episode of question from subs next question came from my boy adam He said what's going on in graven been a long time since I wrote in hope you in the family happy and well Yeah, we are doing really good. Uh the other day Greg ramen and then he put a little picture of noodles Mention that ben powers is currently number one at left guard position to me that caught me off guard a little bit Because personally I figured the battle would be primarily between Tyree phillips and ben cleveland and that powers would be the i-band out I know cleveland hadn't passed his physical yet at this point in time and now he has passed it So who that's a big relief. Um, but my thoughts still remain the same Uh, greg roman could have just as easily said they're waiting for someone to take the position But no, he said ben power See, I'm glad that I read this first because I was getting ready to say the same exact thing that you Wrote on this next part. Oh, I was getting ready to say the exact same thing Let me just read it though. He said a couple of years ago I wrote in and said that I thought jermaine eleanor starting narrative was just to rules Was just to rules to increase his trade value And what do you know? We traded him away before the regular season started I don't know about you, but this ben powers thing has given me the same vibe. What are your thoughts? Yes, same page Same page. I was just talking to some people about this Um, I think it was in a space a couple days ago Well, actually more than a couple days ago, but I was saying the same exact thing I've been hearing the same. Oh, yeah, ben powers. He's a starter. He's a starter and I think that they're not keeping everybody They ain't keeping everything ben powers. He did start a little bit last year. They were doing a little rotation thing But I think he is going to be traded as well I think they just saying that exactly like you said the whole jermaine eleanor thing I remember years ago when they did that and a lot of us we were looking at each other like jermaine eleanor Gonna be the starter Like Then they traded him away and it then is like, uh, okay, we get it now They were just trying to prop him up So people could be looking a little extra hard to be like, okay, and then he got traded to the pictures And he's been doing well over there. I think he's still over there now So shout out to him for continuing his career Um, and he said thanks for doing what you do man. Be safe and as always go ravens and roll Smoke screen next question came from my boy anthony. He said, what's up hope everything as well So I've been thinking about lamar's contract talks and how both sides say things will get done I was a believer at first, but now I'm questioning it The reason why is how the whole hollywood situation turned out the ravens did a very good job keeping the trade hush hush And made it seem like something would get done or worked out with him I know lamar and hollywood are two different people. But do you think this could be a smoke screen? Uh, I wouldn't necessarily call it a smoke screen. I just think that They they really do not want things to get ugly They don't want things to leak Um, but they want to try to continue to give people the reassurance that hey, this lamar jackson contract It's gonna happen. We we're gonna make this thing happen. Um, whether it does of course is to be determined I think it will early on this offseason. I was like, nope not happening not this offseason not at all Uh, but then when lamar came out in that first presser, uh, and he he started doing that public negotiating I was like, oh And then with his last presser the way that he was talking it was like, oh, okay Well, hey, it sounded like something was around the corner. The contract is around the corner Um, so the pressure's on though. The the pressure is definitely on Um, but I don't necessarily I wouldn't call it a a smoke screen. Um by the ravens or by Lamar jackson when it comes to the contract because both sides have acknowledged that they're talking Um, it's just a matter of if it's a quality Conversation next question came from our boy jamie. He said what's going on, bro? Let's play who gets the nod Who do you think makes a bigger impact? I feel like every year the ravens have a pleasant surprise performer on offense And defense. So who you got james pro shade or tylen wireless? um Out of those two I would say tylen wireless and the reason I would say tylen wireless was because of Just his big play potential not saying that james pro shade doesn't have a james pro shade does a really good job Especially when defense are in a zone He does a real good job of finding that open spot. I know all receive is supposed to do that But james pro shade, I feel like he excels at that. Um, but I'm gonna go with tylen wireless just because of the big play potential Um tyler baity or justice hill. Oh Uh, I'm gonna go with baity because I feel like with justice hill Um, the injury situation they do help, but it's still a lot at running back right now. Um, so I feel like baity Uh, it has a better chance of making the roster over justice hill. Um Yeah, so I'm I'm gonna go with baity just based off of that alone malik harrison Or dalean haze. Oh, that's a really good one Oh I'm gonna go dalean haze Um Oh This one is close though It's not like I feel like dalean haze up here malik harrison down here No, I feel like it's like neck and neck because both of them will be provided opportunity As pass rushers Um and dalean haze, he showed us like hey, he got i'ma go with dalean haze because he is the more natural pass russia though Um, you have justin houston. Uh, you have tyus bowser and he seems to be uh, oh he's not he I don't think he's been a training camp. He's been there, but not practicing yet He's still dealing with that coming from the killie's injury So this is an opportunity for dalean haze to really step in. Oh and i'll feel wait till you still got him as well So that'd be nice. But yeah, I think dalean haze. I could take that next step this year if given the opportunity Uh, the maryon williams or jalen amore davis. Oh, that's uh That's really a toss up that one. I I could I couldn't tell you because it just all depends on who gets more playing time Hopefully They don't really eat they neither one of them really get much playing time Because that would mean the guys in front of them are healthy Um, and if they do get playing time, hopefully it would mean that the ravens are blowing somebody out And they like a malin Humphrey a margis peters a cow fuller come to the sideline come chill for a little bit um And then finally is a likely a charlie collard I mean it's the way things are starting off because charlie collard is out right now What is uh sports hernia surgery? So isiah likely and you keep hearing this dude's name Just about every practice You always hear something about isiah likely he did this he did that he did that he did that you keep hearing this Dude's name like every two seconds. Uh, so that's a good and I know some people always only training camp. Well, that's a good start Uh, he said thanks for the consideration. Hey, you need to do a throwback call video Only if need be we'll we'll see Oh, we appreciate you and your family and the sacrifice to bring us this content. Let's go. Hey, appreciate you, man. Thank you Next question came from my guy Bravo. He said engraving. I've been a sub for years Maybe two but anyway never asked a question until now But how do you feel about hollywood brown getting arrested for speeding? um and for his injury and this uh and this going on Do you think it was the right move or is it still too early to tell? um me I would have preferred that the ravens kept hollywood brown um Just simply because they them getting rid of hollywood have made their wide receiver group weaker Um, and they didn't they didn't replace him. So but anyway, I uh, I feel like he just he's a young guy A lot of money um, and just maybe he just felt invincible Uh, and sometimes we as people We have to go through a growth process and a maturity process in life We don't all learn the same. We don't all grow up the same. We don't all go through the same type of things So I know there's a lot of people saying hollywood this hollywood that old man He he should have been speedy and he shouldn't have been speeding especially if the reports are accurate that he was going like 126 and a 65 um So he got he got to learn from it. He got to learn from i'm just i'm glad that nobody got hurt in the process um him anybody else because that's that's some real dangerous speeds right there, man um So he yeah, he got a like literally like slow down Uh, he said I hope for the best but doesn't surprise me since it is antonio brown's cousin See I I I don't like that I I don't I feel like that's such a um Like a lazy analysis when it comes to hollywood brown because a lot of people they they jump at that so quickly Oh, it's it's antonio brown's cousin. So no shocker there like So what what about the the good family members that hollywood brown has and not even saying that antonio brown is a bad family member but what about the the the family members that he has that are Looked at in in in a better light what about them Like I just I don't I don't like it when people just they go straight to antonio brown Antonio bro. That's antonio brown's cut. Nope. No shocker there Because I just feel like it's just so lazy and it's just like a cop out like narrative almost It just it doesn't make any sense to me at all They have been cousins for hollywood brown's entire life hollywood brown does not get in trouble hollywood brown does not have off the field any of that stuff This is the his first a hiccup in the NFL This is first hiccup in the nfl And you speed him think good if he ain't hurt nobody but He got to slow down But to just jump straight to oh antonio bra. I just I never been a big Fan of that when people do that but anyway You said your channel keeps me motivated Don't just listen because of Ravens talk, but you're really doing something special, man And I support every bit of let's go and have a great day. Hey shout out to you and I appreciate it, man um and and and please do do not feel I hope you don't feel because I'm I'm not wasn't doing that But I hope you do not feel like I was like picking on you anything like that I just You're not the only person that said it. I've just heard it a lot that and and and it it happens with hollywood brown Obviously because he that's antonio brown's cousin, but it's happened before Like it's like I've seen a lot of people where they just wait they wait they wait they wait hollywood brown's doing good. They're never like oh, hey That's ab's cousin remember ab was a baller ab was a ball in the league. Hey, that's his cousin over there balling too they don't do that But they wait when hollywood brown messes up if hollywood brown like when he called out the offense If he's slipping then for the negative stuff, then they'll be oh Antonio brown's cousin. Oh, just it's just like antonio brown, man They do it for the bad, but they never do it for the good You
