 First question came from a boy Ricky B said what's up engraving I was listening to a podcast a couple days ago And they brought it something to my attention with that record breaking deals of today's QBs The teams aren't able to keep high-profile receivers For example Adams leaving Green Bay because of the 50 mil contract for an arrages Tyree Kale leaving due to my homestail Lamar deserves every bit of 45 mil plus a year Should we be coming concerned about us not being able to pay top receivers to play with Lamar? Or do you think it won't matter because maybe we could have success who says success with drafting wide receivers in the near future? I think having Keith Williams and T. Martin are still huge impacts With having experience knowing what an NFL ready wide receiver looks like and hopefully are helping in the draft room with scouting wide receivers Thank you for taking the time to read my question and much love my friend appreciate you man With Patrick Holmes he's been on his deal for a couple years now They had Tyree Kale and Tyree Kale I got paid and Travis Kessler. He got paid to and Chris Jones. He got paid to So I don't even think it's the fact that you you can't keep your receiver Um, I think with KC. I think they I think stuff just fell apart there man straight up their car just got paid and They and they paid Devonte Adams I think before Tyree Kale, I don't think Tyree Kale's a pastor, but I'm not sure but either way Devonte Adams he got that he became that the highest paid wide receiver. I think ever Then they paid their car after that too So um and then yeah with with Tyree Kale. Yeah now he's in Miami and he got to us. Oh, we see how that go I'm like really excited to see how that plays out man Um But yeah as far as the Ravens It just depends on what they want to do and how they want to do it Are they going to continue to invest heavy heavily into the defense and on offense? They they penny pinch will see as far as at receiver Are they gonna penny pinch because they'll pay a lineman. They paid Mark Andrews, obviously the mark I'll get paid, but are they gonna penny pinch at receiver? That's just to be determined really next question came from my guy Earl He said going with the theory that a player can't be tagged after an extension What are your thoughts on Lamar signing a one-year extension for 75 mil guaranteed? Oh So that would be 75 mil in one year Guaranteed no not happening Ray Ravens would never do that Be nice for the motto Ray Ravens would never anyway. He said I know Ravens nation would think that's a lot of money But it's essentially will be a two-year deal for 98 mil guaranteed since an extension would include this season's salary as well Are you saying? 70 no, you're saying 75 mil plus the 23 mil this year. Yeah, there's no way to do that So two year 98 mil Is that oh? That's 49 mil per year If you average the two out It's my math right? Yeah 49 mil per year. I don't think they would do that Lamar still gets to renegotiate a deal in the offseason But the fans wouldn't have to worry about our quarterback potentially being tagged two years in a row keep up the content And much success to you and your fam. They appreciate that Earl. Um, yeah, I don't think they would do that Because the franchise tag is cheaper It's cheaper than that because the franchise tag is Yeah, it's definitely not 49 mil a year, but it's like I think you see the I Think it's in like the low 40s Maybe hi, sir. I gotta check out this whole franchise tag thing man because with the franchise tag I Don't know what the the status of it is and exactly what it's gonna be because it's like it's weird But no, I don't see Ravens doing that at all and questions came from Nova He said hey, I got two questions Hope all is well with you and the fam as well as the rest of team keep it clean So as you may know the Ravens like to pick up players from certain teams mainly the Saints and Seahawks a few names come to mind Like Marcus Williams mark Ingram with the same Latavius Murray Earl Thomas Alice Collins and attempted for Bobby Wagner There was also a lineman that the Seahawks drafted in the first Round a while back that the Ravens has signed. I forget it. They signed them last. Yeah, I forget his name though Anyway He said and as you know DK has been in the media and been a hot name for those kind of signings that aren't Raven style However, I do recall EDC saying they aren't done and I had a hunch but wanted to know what you thought Could you see the Ravens making a trade for Michael Thomas? Michael Thomas Wow Underneath guy, I know people a lot of people call him the slank King Looking to be healthy this season Ravens of course got ties to the Saints Mmm, that would be a sneaky one that would be a sneaky one But a lot of people had been talking about that a lot last year and a little bit this offseason two I Just don't see the Ravens doing it Now Saints they will get to unload his contract. So Ravens will be taking on somebody in the middle of a contract I just don't see them doing it. I don't I wouldn't be mad if they did but I don't see the Ravens doing it. It's just it's not them it's not them and Yes, just not something that they do. That's why I said even with DK. I would love for them to do it I just don't see them doing it. Oh, I would think he would fit in here lovely But I just I don't don't see them doing it Unfortunately, he said he restructured his contract. So for a one-year rental, he'd be cheap and as long as he's back to health He would be an immediate asset for a passing game after this year the numbers good Numbers get ugly. What if he has a productive year? You would think that the Ravens would add years to stretch out the remaining 30 mil It's a 30 mil per year. No, I can't be no 30 mil per year No receives one getting paid that yet when he got his deal. So is it only 30 mil left on his deal? Yeah, you can stretch that to like two years 15 Anyway, he said it's also obvious the Saints are rebuilding with Peyton leaving the game And we have the picks in the same that the Saints will cover it It's a dream slash stretch, but if the Ravens want to add to Lamar success, this is a low key way to do So I'd love to know your thoughts as well as a package. You think would work. Yeah I would not mind Michael Thomas at all, but I just It depends on if the Saints are really trying to get rid of him But if the Ravens were to trade for him, I think they could get him for like a second and a fourth and a fifth Because reason I don't say a first because you taking on a contract Saints will be getting rid of the contract You'll be taking it on So I don't think a first would be necessary But they would want multiple picks for that guy. So I think that would do it And number two you said if you could get in G rose head as a play-caller What would you add as an emphasis for our offense after watching your videos? I think I know your answer screens. Oh boy Oh boy and I think another thing would be Getting rid of a lot of Lamar's designer runs But you said it. What would I add as an emphasis? Okay as an emphasis Yeah, I would say emphasize Using Lamar's legs less let Lamar choose when to do that more But you you shouldn't I don't think he should be the person that chooses that I don't think G rose should be the person that chooses that But yes screens for sure Let's finish for you. No, it's a while. I agree screens would make magic happen for our offense I want to see more quick slents with man Drew's Hollywood and Bateman each could flourish with this addition Yeah, add them to the quick game would be a great addition to it would make everybody's job easier get the ball in their hands earlier Allow them to get just more relaxed earlier in the game Instead of guys going on dry spells throughout the game to where they ain't even touching the ball And it would just help get them hot a lot earlier So man Drew's has the body to punish the defenders long as long as he catches it Hollywood will turn that six yard pass into a yak play and Bateman will turn that into a first down In addition, you will get more yards than the run play we do on second Usually lastly we've seen this time and time again used by QB greats like breeze manning Brady and especially been to beat the Blitz Which as we know is the newest method to beat Lamar Jackson adding this would give the offense another way to beat the Blitzes that we're going to see all year. Let me know what you think and thanks for all the great content and consistent content You create they appreciate that I agree. I agree 1000% this would be a great way to just open up Ravens offense. It would be such a great way to just Make the offense better and it's the thing is see You said that I would say screens and I do agree with that You said slants and I do agree with that as well, but you know what's so crazy Is that you asked somebody what would they do to make this Ravens offense so much better? What would they do to make this Ravens offense so much powerful? It's always simple things It's always simple things that we think of it's always just simple Fixes but these simple fixes would be so effective Ravens got to stop overthinking Keep it clean They keep it clean welcome to another episode of question from so you can ask any NFL question You want to and we answered in a video just like this for the patrons team keep it clean patrons If you want to send a question, you can send it directly on patreon If you would like to become a team keep it clean patron You can go to patreon.com slash engraving vid and if you're not a team keep it clean patron Which is fine. You can see a question at team keep it clean at gmail.com We got a lot of great questions. We already had some great questions. We got even more great questions Let's go do it. Let's go do it. I don't know what kind of intro that was I don't know what I'd be saying So anyway next question came from my guy Mackay. He said hello in gravy I can't wait for our receivers on our offense to prove this fan base wrong on why we don't need to Go big on another weapon full of more Throughout this season fans were screaming for crocheting Wallace to get more touches and then a couple months later You guys want us to trade for DK and signed a wide receiver. So, um real quick just to address that. Yeah, that would be me but the thing is with The reason that we wanted crochet and duvne to get more touches was because that's what we had That was our only options and with Sammy Watkins. He was unreliable and unhealthy But with we had a Bateman and early on he was unhealthy We also had Hollywood But we wanted the offense to try to be opened up as much as it possibly could with what we had Those are the only options back then right now one another receiver to add to the to the mix because They got other options right now. It's not the middle of the season It's not week eight a week nine to where I this is what our roster is our roster is still being constructed So that's why me personally would love to see them add another quality target for Lamar Jackson But anyway, let's get back to the question he said and Then a couple months later you guys wanted us to trade for DK and signed a wide receiver Which is going to significantly burry guys like duvne crochet on this roster and then this team already has great weapons We have a Titan who just had 1400 yards this season Bateman who hasn't even played six games with Lamar yet and we have Lamar's best friend in the receiver who just had a Thousand yards those are three great weapons with a solid slot in duvne It's obviously no disrespect to anyone who wants a wide receiver But when duvne crochet play great this season Don't act too happy because not too long ago you guys wanted to replace them keep up the great work No, people can be happy if like no nobody's rooting against duvne and against pro shade So many Ravens fans try to make these extremes to where oh just because y'all want one thing then y'all hate the other No, it's not that it's not that at all. It's that we just want a higher quality receiver duvne crochet slots It's slot receivers. We want a high quality outside guy to add to what the Ravens having There's nothing wrong with that that why wouldn't you want to make Lamar's job easier? You want a job to be easier, right? Like give him somebody with a bigger catch radius. That's not James pro shade. That's not Devon duvne Even somebody with a bigger catch radius. Yeah, we got Hollywood. We got Bateman. You got man juice. What's wrong with adding to that? What's wrong with making this offense indefensible ain't nothing wrong with that Like make the job harder for opposing defenses to where they if they take out Hollywood Even if they take out manju we still got somebody else. Oh, we got Bateman say fences They got a nice corner on Bateman holding it down. They got somebody covering Hollywood a man juice is off Oh, we got somebody else for you. Oh, you can't hold everybody down So it would just want the job to be easier for Ravens and harder for whoever's going up against him next question Speaking of receivers came from I got Matthew. He said ain't Raven good videos a nice work You matured in your craft with your transitions and break points appreciate it Matt I he said anyway a lot of hype on a DK Metcalf trade, but I don't see it Not from a fifth standpoint, but a real world Yeah, I don't think it's gonna happen either Anyway, he said if we trade for him you have to pay him and guess who else is due for contract from the same draft class Hollywood Okay, or let the chips fall where they may pay everybody on offense Pay him paid him their bread. Anyway, he said plus you have to pay Lamar true So how's that personal convoy gonna be when Lamar's best friend on a team is the odd man out on the moral crew and DK Is also him lobbying for Hollywood's departure and that's a sticky situation for the now and the paid day No, you you find your way around it you you find your way around it if that were to happen the a lot of times I feel like as Ravens fans we worry about the Ravens money more than they do and They they have to find a way they have to find a way We got we got a hundred million dollar Cornerback that they just paid and we had I forgot how much My markets Peters made per year They paid both of them Both of them are pretty good at their position. Wouldn't just say They pay both they took care both and and they had tape on young on an extension to so they had three cornerbacks That were on extensions three of them Now I know wide receivers cost more than cornerbacks But you can start shifting shifting that money from the defense to the offense and you make it work Next questions came from a leak. He said ain't Raven. Do you feel like the Ravens are wasting Lamar Jackson's potential? Yes, I feel like they rely on his athleticism too much and not his arm. Anyway, he said I feel like Lamar Jackson is a generational talent We failed to provide Lamar Jackson with the necessary Support to properly succeed, but Lamar has found a way to succeed anyway I feel like another organization would have provided Lamar Jackson with way more support than the Ravens Just imagine Lamar Jackson with Sean McVeigh or Kyle Shanahan as a head coach Yeah, and I think that's just simply because the Ravens they they're not used to this They're not used to having somebody like this on offense. They just not used to it So I just feel like they just haven't known what to do with Lamar Jackson They've been running this this RPO type offense and whatnot and Lamar he didn't even run that in college man He ran a spread offense in college Ravens don't be running and spread nothing So it's like they go against what worked and it's just Anyway, number two. He said he felt like the Ravens organization is heading in the wrong direction We failed to attract free agents. We can't make in-game adjustments and we have no leaders in the locker room Now they got some leaders in the locker room. They got Kalaeus Campbell. They got a Josh Bynes I got a Lamar Jackson. So they got some leaders in the locker room But anyway, I said the Ravens organization as a whole has been slowing Slowly going downhill with the retirement of air reading Ray Lewis I have you also noticed that we haven't drafted a pro bowler since the 2018 draft Well, they drafted a a pro bowler in the 2020 draft Devon Duvenay He made the Pro Bowl as a returner. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no returner. What was he just all pro? No, I think he's an approval Yeah, he's an approval He said we also failed to keep up with the times Ravens organization is so stuck in there always that we can't see that The league is leaving us behind now that part. I do agree with and I know so many Ravens fan Oh, no Ravens. They need to play Ravens football And I know a lot of Ravens fans. They also say, oh, man I lost so many y'all want the Ravens to be the chiefs or bingles or the Rams or the Bucks Y'all want the Ravens to be all these other teams. No, we need to be the Ravens The reason that so many Ravens fans compare or hope that the Ravens would take on Just more that offensive approach like a lot of these other teams is because that's what's been working Those teams have been in the playoffs those teams have been in Super Bowls more recently than the Ravens and the thing is that they They've been like they've been right there as far as assembling their team assembling their squads Right around the same time as the Ravens with Ravens getting Lamar Like those teams have been there too. Some of them even got their quarterbacks after the Ravens got Lamar And they made it further than the Ravens have And it's just like like Ravens just Ravens Sometimes it seems like they're like stuck in this box To where they don't want to jump out the box and get with it. They just want to stay in that box It's like it's okay to do something to get out of that comfort box that comfort box of the comfort zone Get out of it. Get out of it. It's okay. I know my god. My god skeptical made such a great point Yesterday by the time you see this video, it's probably gonna be for like three four days ago But anyway, you make such a great point when you talked about how like Teams they you got to be willing to take a chance on being great Because if you if you're gonna be good, okay, cool, you'll be good and Ravens are a good team but they're not great And teams that take the chance on being great they make stuff happen And the the opportunity ain't gonna work out every single time But it's a matter of taking that chance. So you will have that opportunity to make it work and hope for the best But ravens they It just seemed like they're content with being competitive Uh, they gotta do more though. Next question came from the marksman. He said yo, what's up in graven? I just want to say love you god bless your family and keep up the good work Appreciate that my question is do you think that juwan james contract should be restructured? No He's on the last year of it and it's no no point But anyway, who said I was looking at and I found it to be pretty outrageous Especially for the position he has on the team as a depth offensive tackle. What do you think? Thanks. And once again praying for you appreciate you, man No, I know because if they restructured it then they will just they'll have to add years to it So you don't want to prolong his time with the team if it doesn't like say for instance This year doesn't work out You will have restructured this contract and you still got to keep them around another year Now just leave it where it is And if you end up resigning him, hopefully hey, hopefully he has a nice impact on the team. That'd be great Worst case scenario is he doesn't but then next year. He's a free agent. Next question came from my guy matt He said with the upcoming draft I totally agree with you that the ravens need to add more offensive weapons Especially with the ravens prioritizing defense in the old line during free agency However, though, how would you feel about the ravens drafting one of the top tight ends in the draft in a second round Instead of getting a wide receiver in the first Considering how Greg Roman likes to run his offense the success of our passing game between the hashes In a combination of age and health concerns for nick Boyle Tight end could be a potentially bigger impact for this team than wide receiver Oh, um One of the top tight ends In the second round No, I'd rather I'd rather wide receiver. Um, I wouldn't mind the tighten like the third or fourth But I'd rather receive Um, I see what you're saying though as far especially with the offense and stuff But yeah, I mean, they are gonna need to tighten Because with nick Boyle, you just you you don't know you don't know and with mark with mark angels Again, he's been healthy. So he's been pretty obviously very good. He's been great. Um But yeah, with nick Boyle, you just you don't know what you're gonna get from him and when you're gonna get it Um, so yeah, I they definitely need to add another tighten Um, what is if josh oligan be josh oligan be like, hey, I'm here to the rescue He said trape Mcbride out of colorado state a greg uh Dulkich out of the ucla should both be available at the top of the second Both add a lot of the same things as raven's fans are clamoring for as far as a pass catcher in terms of athleticism Ball skills and reliable hands just not at the wide receiver position You know the impact of top tight a top tier tighten can have oh, we certainly do Uh, so why not invest more in a position? We obviously know how to use better Uh, thanks for listening. I hope you all are doing well. Best of luck from new england and take care. Appreciate that um I just I don't I don't see them doing I don't see them getting a tighten too early I just don't um, I just I want them to spread it out more man To uh spread their offense out more Um, really be able to use the whole field. That's on roman. That's on lamar too. Um, lamar getting different guys involved Um, but I want his different guys to be top quality guys And I want there to be more receivers out there than tight ends Of course, mark angers gonna be out there mark angers like a receiver and a tighten all at the same time um, but When they run and spray it I will just love it to be those three high quality receivers bateman hollywood and whoever else Uh, and then mark andrews and then in the back field. You got jk august um Or duvenay in the back field too. No, but yeah, man I would just I would I would love that and that's for yeah as far as another tighten. Yeah, I'm sure they'll get one um that early though I don't I don't think so next question came from my guy greg from b more He said ain't raving to start this. Thanks for the reminder in the previous video that the wwe NXT star brawn breaker used to be a ravens fullback in training camp in 2020 Sucks the preseason was taken away from players trying to make the team that year I remember when they signed him, but I 100 forgot Even though i'm a wrestling fan and I watched him for a while now i'm rooting for him even more Oh, yeah, shout out to him brawn rick steiner. Oh, yeah, never forget when a raven signed him um, and he said uh Anyway, my question is the NFL draft is soon I know they say best player available But what position has the most need for the ravens to target in the draft and any players you got an ion like bateman last year Solid pass rusher can make an impact as a rookie to grow with away or Offensive tackle who can be a solid behind ronnie stanley if stanley can't go gets hurt again In this draft, I would love for them to draft the much love and positivity to everyone in this community and go ravens So what position has the most need for the ravens to target? um probably cornerback cornerback um Offensive line But I think cornerback more than anything Because they after their two top guys who both come back from injury Nothing Nothing, so I I definitely say corner next question came from my guide to show and he said instead of signing melvin gordon Why not just bring back davante freeman? um It's possible that they that whole melvin gordon report could have came from melvin gordon side But it could have came from the ravens side too to try to maybe bring down davante's price a little bit I don't know but um, we'll find out soon enough What the whole report was about and what it was trying to get the ravens to do or What it was trying to get melvin gordon. We'll find that out Soon when the ravens make whatever their next movie is that running back next question came from field He said I just got a notification about the panthers talking to other teams about moving back I believe if there's any way for the ravens to show they are looking to win now It's by trading with the panthers on draft night We get the sixth pick and their sixth rounder and they get our 14th pick Third third rounder in our fifth rounder with this sixth pick We get kt k von tibido and with our second rounder We trade up a few spots and get george pickings passing up the coast and bears just in case we'd have our edge Wide receiver call for the future. This also gives us impact guys that wouldn't We wouldn't have to pay big money too for a while and would only continue to have Uh success working out lamar's contract. This could answer questions Would up to how much we pay lamar seeing the amount of help he would be getting as well From there, we could use a couple of additions at offensive line defensive line in cornerback But our answer with pass rush and playmakers on offense besides lamar will be settled What are your thoughts? I wouldn't be mad at this at all I really wouldn't impact guys I wouldn't be mad at too guys Um, yeah, so you nailed it. Next question came from maw. He said hope everything is going great, man I've seen in a lot of questions lately and I appreciate the respectful dialogue you have engaged them with. Hey, no, no problem Uh, I'll keep this short. Do the recent video about feeling like a defective ravens fan What move would you prefer out of a trading your first third and devon duvin a to the seahawks for dk Metcalf or to the 49s for debo samuel. Nope. No debo samuel If you choose one the other ceases to be available Then paying them as a top five wire receiver to keep them around So, um, okay, let's see the other option or be keeping our picks signing or del beckham jr Drafting pickings in the second round and using the remaining draft picks on defense No offensive line. No running backs. Just defense. Oh Oh I have the options listed like this because I truly believe that if the ravens do go out and bring in a big Wide receiver, they won't bring in any offensive talent besides that said wide receiver If they don't make a big trade, I see them taking a swing at drafting another wide receiver and taking a shot at one of the remaining free agents um I would go I would go b I mean I wouldn't be mad at a or first and third and duv for dk. Metcalf I wouldn't be mad at a But I wouldn't be mad at b either because with b Um, he said sign over there beckham jr. So he'd be he possibly he caught come on later But you would have that quality option there too. Um, then drafting pickings I would love if they got him because just that nastiness that he would bring Um, so you'd have bateman, hollywood pickings and then later bateman, hollywood pickings Oh there beckham jr market. Oh, yeah and then Uh using the remaining draft picks on defense No offensive line So they're still free agency though. So you can still get some guys on free agency with no running backs Okay, just defense so linebackers corners edge All in the other rounds um Yeah, I I mean Either option work for me, but with b It gives me more And y'all know I'm greedy so I'm gonna go with b and the last question on this episode came from my guy man You well, he said what's up in grave and shout out from Mexico You're edc now all record is six and two with an early close loss to the bingles and buffalo on week seven All our victories have come from the ma being come back and our defense Being let loose as promised our next opponent is russia wilson before the buy and after we go to tamper Our defense has lost binds due to injury and malik harrison is not there yet furthermore been powers is injured and stanley Is just returning to play for the first time But g-roll has not used our wide receivers as he should and mandrew's hollywood bateman Come to life when lamar has to bring us back like in the colts game What is your next move considering that the trade is out? And they're still undrafted talent at o-line and your favorite wide receiver treylon berks What do you do with coaching or you won't touch it at all stay safe and take care of yourself and your loved ones p.s. The revenge tour will be lit All right, so we're six and two And we just all the deep all the victories have come from lamar having to come back um If that's the case Does he have to come back? Does he have to come back from just like like a game winning drive? um If so we having a call we having to talk with mike mcdonough Or does he have to come back? Like it was last year where the offense would just start slow and slow and slow and slow and slow and slow and slow Then all of a sudden on the fourth quarter. You're like, oh, hey, wait a minute. We got a game to play That's the case. We got to have a talk with greg roman So it would all just depend on how this stuff is happening He said but g-roll has not used our wide receivers as he should Uh, mandrew's hollywood and bateman come to life on lamar has to bring us back. So with that part, um Then I that that'd be a conversation that I would have to have with uh with gregory I say excuse me gregory um You either pick it up or pack it out Straight up. I know we're winning but I for me I would not let winning cloud everything because a lot of times winning can cloud your judgment because you could be like Hey, we're winning. So we straight, right? Right But no, uh, it's all about the quality of wins too So yeah, look like me and gregory would have to have a little talk in the office And the last last question came from my guy slim He said what's up in graven hope all is well with you and the fan man been a little minute, but I have a question I noticed the ravens have been silent with myles boykin. They haven't spoken much about him But they haven't released him either. It comes off though. Like he's the tyson williams of the receiving corps What do you see them doing with boykin this season? Uh keeping them trading them letting him find his own way, um Y'all already know how I feel about myles boykin. I just feel like it was uh It was a relationship that didn't work out. Um to where He wasn't put in the best position to succeed. I know a lot of fans like oh man myles boykin He was running the wrong route of myles boykin. He did this and that but Myles boykin didn't get no volume. He didn't get no targets his way He he was dead and yeah, he was regarded as the best block and receive on the team But that was it So they no jump balls no Fade no none none of that stuff So he caught a couple catches here and there, but it just he he wasn't used at all So I thought that they their relationship him and the ravens relationship was going to come to an end last season I really did especially when um, I think he had like a hamstring injury Well, like every receiver had a hamstring injury, but I thought their relationship was going to come to an end last year Uh, but I think the same this year whether it's trade or release I don't think he's gonna be with the team Moving forward. Um, yeah, and yeah, we haven't heard anything about the possible trade or possible anything like that um, but I just He he hasn't gotten an opportunity With the ravens by now Then it's it's just not gonna happen and I think we all know that Um, so hopefully wherever he does end up whenever he does end up somewhere else Um, hopefully he can get a real shot and they can really use his skill set They can maximize his skill set and they can use him the way that he's supposed to be used
