 So team keep it clean. Oh man, we about to get into another episode of questions from subs And real quick special shout out to the newest team keep it clean patrons kim I know that's a ravens girl shout out to you and your husband appreciate that both of y'all supporting Shout out to christian and also domineek Appreciate y'all three being team keep it clean patrons. Um, but before we get into the questions Obviously last night was crazy. Uh, I Think I haven't seen anything like that before I was watching the game with my wife Um, and she was shocked too. She was shocked too and I was uh, It was just it was just crazy, man It was it was scary too because it's like man, you just You know football like we see injuries all the time. We see we don't see players breaking their legs They break their arms their shoulders They got the acl's mc all that type of stuff But something like that like last night That's like super scary man, and it was it was just different. Um, so for For demar, uh, hopefully everything Is good with him. Um, I know they they did say that it was it was a heart attack. They said it was a cardiac arrest um, just looking I don't think um Yeah, we haven't seen anything as of right now anything else. It's 11 o 8 a.m when i'm recording this Uh, so for demar hamlin. Yeah, hopefully he'll be straight But I was um, I was actually pleasantly surprised With the nfl reason I say that is because we talk about it all the time that nfl is a business We know it's a business. We know it's a nasty business too um, but I was pleasantly surprised that They stopped the game And they actually postponed the game I was really surprised because we've seen times before when an ambulance has come out for a player And that ambulance takes the player to the local hospital or whatever and they say, all right back to the game Back to the game. We've seen it a lot of time. No, y'all have seen it. I've seen it We've all seen it. Um, but last night was just different It was different because they stopped the game And I know we all heard about the old the the players got they got five minutes to get ready and go back out there Um, but that got scrapped and that I think apparently an nfl came out with a statement saying oh We didn't give the players five minutes. So we weren't doing something like that. But anyway, um I was surprised that they actually stopped the game. They cancelled it. Well not cancelled but postponed the But either way it was just um, it was different Uh, because I was talking I was I was texting one of my boys and I was telling him like oh I said, I know nfl they're gonna try to do everything in their power not to cancel this game I know they I told them they should but they they they're gonna do everything in their power not to cancel this game So when they actually came out and I think on the um on the broadcast they were showing the bills Um, the equipment team taking the stuff off. I was like, oh, wow So they they are really actually like gonna stop this game. I was shocked. Um, but yeah, man, it's uh It was just a another reminder Um That these nfl players are humans too. We try to talk about that on here a lot. Um, because these nfl players They are people too. That's why we whenever we try to whenever we talk about these nfl players coaches Whatever, um as much as we get frustrated with the outcome of this game or that game or that decision or this decision or whatnot, um, try to handle it with respect Because these are people at the end of the day they're people um, and and this like Is it should never in my opinion? Um, it should never be anything personal Um, when you're talking about something that you disagree with don't like whatever blah blah Um, it should be handled professionally Um Because again, they're people they're people that face real issues that face real problems and whatnot outside of football But this in the case it was inside of football and it's tough. It's tough. So hopefully, um Hamlin is is good. Hopefully even by the time y'all see this video Hopefully we'll have we have gotten an update that that he's straight and he's good to go um, it's crazy because like This is like it's tough to compare to a workplace situation, but Because it's just a little different because we I know I've seen it and I'm sure plenty of y'all have seen it in the workplace too where a medical emergency happens And it's like everybody's looking and it's crazy and everything just stops Everything just pauses But we're in the workplace um After the medical situation after the person's like taken away Then everything ends up going back. You may have like a five ten minute Timeout or breaker whatnot, but everything ends up going back to to normal and and work continues Um, because that's that's just how it goes But again last night. We're just very very different. So hopefully, um, Like I said, hopefully the more Hamlin is good. Um, and there the next update that we get will be a real positive One So team keep it clean welcome to another episode of questions from subs Of course, this is a series where you can ask any question you want to um, and we answer in the video like this If you want to be a part of it for all the team keep it clean patrons So you can see your question directly on patreon You don't need to send an email, but for everybody else you send an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com Do not send it anywhere else because it will not be a part of questions from subs and I am not doing any like I ain't doing any exceptions or nothing if you send it to the wrong email It's going in the trash straight up. But anyway, uh, first question Gotta say that with a smile First question came from my guy flex and appreciate you for being a team keep it clean patron. He said, uh, My end of the bar thoughts, you know, we're going into week 18 of the 2022 season And we're having the same problems as we had week one of the 2020 season at this point It's like we're trying to mop the ocean with a broom. Uh, what are we doing? It's been three seasons. You think we pivot and do something that would actually work. I don't know They don't know I didn't have a problem with us only having three carries jk was having a good game feed the hot hand That's what we've been asking for. Uh, it was done. It's time. We establish a feature back I don't want a committee. I don't want evenly split reps when healthy jk needs to be the guy I get that part. Um, but it's nice to have a complimentary back Um, and if jk ain't rolling Uh, I mean he pretty much was for most of the game then they just They just thought like doing goofy stuff, man Um, but it's nice to have them both because they compliment each other And they're both capable of going off But I do get what you're saying and I do appreciate that that about really establishing a feature back having somebody who's All right, it's him. That's our guy Uh, but it is nice having both To compliment each other. But anyway, um, he said when healthy jk needs to be the guy What i'm gonna say next is a piping hot take Gus should be cut whoa It has nothing to do with his talent, but rather his cap number his cap hit is 5.6 mil That's a high number for a backup running back cutting him would say 4.3 mil dead cap is 1.2 mil But i'm willing to deal with it It's time to defund the roster and allocate funds into positions that matter no more giving the bag to role players Gus among others makari boy old chuck rickard to name a few would be unfortunate casualties Oh, wow, you starting off this with a bang um Is that really his cap hit? I know his deal is worth like five something mil per year But is the cap hit that high too? um, because I I I don't know um, but as far as uh I I see what you're I don't agree that Gus should be cut Um, because it's nice to have both. Uh, it's nice having both of them I I do see the vision that you're talking about uh as far as um It said in allocating funds to positions that matter no more giving the the bag to role players uh, well See that that's where that part is like, uh, it depends on exactly what their role is um Sometimes ravens give money to guys based off of uh emotional ties. It seems like um But not guys that impact like look at um nick boyle Nick boyle that because you listed him there. Um What what does he do for the ravens? with nick boyle, he's uh He's been kept on a roster and it was seeming like and I mean it still seems like I guess next year But it was seeming like after the draft like oh, oh nick boyle's in trouble Well, really, I thought it was gonna be josh oliver first, but josh oliver stood stood stayed around Um, I didn't really think nick boyle was gonna be here because they they already had mark andrews They had nick boyle. They had josh oliver. Then they went and drafted two titans So you have five titans and like ain't no way ravens keeping no five titans on the roster But then I should have really thought about it like these are the ravens They they would keep 60 titans on the roster if they could um But with nick boyle, it's like he has a a high cap hit but There's a lack of an impact and it's not even lack of it It's not it's not only lack of impact, but it's lack of actually playing time too a lot of times He's inactive. Uh, his snaps are extremely low, especially for somebody that high of a pay Pay grade or whatever you want to call it. Um, it's just it's really weird now pat ricard The ravens one thing like you could say a million things about pat ricard whether you why receiver one as we all know He's a fullback. He's a running back. He's a titan. He's everything to the ravens, but uh with pat ricard Ravens are they getting their money out of him They really are Uh, because you may not like how to get their money out of them But they are definitely getting their money's worth out of him because they use him a lot They use pat ricard so much sometimes too much, but they use him a lot So when it comes to the money versus the use, yeah pat ricard, they getting it out of him Um, you also mentioned mccurry Now with mccurry, uh, I think he's a good um option to have Because especially, I mean you look at ronnie stanley Ronnie's not ronnie stanley getting a lot of money when he's out there phenomenal But a lot of times he ain't been out there and there's been a lot of games where he's left He's missed some games this year, but pat mccurry. He's somebody that can play every role on the offensive line So his role as a role player is to fill in when somebody's out morgan moses just went out this last game Who stepped in pat mccurry And it's every time and he can play every position on the offensive line So he's very valuable to the ravens because unfortunately, you do have injuries. Unfortunately You have injuries to the offensive line. I mean you have injuries to every position But for somebody that can fill in five different positions That's very valuable. So I would leave him off the list too um chuck clock I mean chuck clock is a starter, but I think that his time, uh, is coming to an end I really thought it's going to be this fast off season. Um When they tried they draft the cow hamilton. I was thinking, oh, okay. Yeah. All right. We see it and they signed markets We was like, oh, okay. Yeah. All right. We see it But they said not yet. So um, I guess maybe there's coming off season Uh chuck will be out of here. So I see what you're saying as far as not paying role players, but I would only agree if They don't play a role if they don't have a significant role Because you're not only going to be playing starters You can't only pay starters the money the money is going to go to different guys on the team as well But it's important that you allocate those funds the right way if guys have key roles Okay, they're going to get some money. They're going to get like I guess mid level money or whatever They're not obviously not going to be top paid, but they're going to get that mid level money So but it's just important that the ravens give it to the right person next question came from another team Keep it clean patient. My god, Danny said man, honey really threw that pass to end the game And he was about to yell at the y receiver lol pro bowl qb hauntley. Hey, yeah He's still a pro bowler. Next question came from a new team. Keep it clean patron. My god, Dominic and I appreciate you man He said ain't great. I just wanted to show some love to you I really appreciate you being a part of my daily life, uh, whether I'm driving into work or drowning out the TV while playing madden Your bids of my background. So thank you for all that you do. I appreciate you. I appreciate you, man Uh, you you played madden on xbox. I might have to mind the dust it off, man But anyway, you said uh, so I have a thought Do you think the unknown at offensive coordinator next season and lack of quality y receivers plays or has played into lemar's decision to sign Or not sign a new deal Or is it all about the money? We all know he wants to be the highest paid qb Will he be i'm not so sure But if the ravens brought in an oc that lemar wants to work with do you think he'd be willing to come down on Guaranteed money if he thought he'd get some rings here Or maybe even seeing the ravens go after some serious offensive weapons for him in the draft or free agency We all know lemar jackson once at once and Once what he deserves But are the ravens the team to give it to him? Oof What will it take to keep lemar jackson in the black and purple keep it clean man? And i'm out appreciate that man um What will it take obviously uh a lot of money? Um, that'll be first and foremost, but I think uh I think for lemar it would be beyond the money. Um, it would be the vision of this team Uh, what what what direction are they really headed in or is it gonna be a lot of the same old stuff? We obviously know lemar jackson loves the ravens loves the team loves the the the culture a lot of the coaches and whatnot um He just he loves it loves the fans. Um, and I mean that's clear as day. We see that all the time um But I I do think it would it would be more than money Um, all right. Hey, how's this offense going to be? Are y'all not only going to invest in me financially? But are you going to invest in me as far as with weapons and stuff too? With the scheme, how are you going to how are you going to? Fix this offense because there's obviously issues. There's problems. How are you going to fix it? Like when you think about it When you think about that interview that lemar did with rich eizen two years ago I think it was two years ago, right? Um, where he said that the the teams are calling out our plays Like think about that like when you think about that In retrospect, it's like man the starting quarterback of the baltimore ravens spoke on it publicly That other teams were calling out their plays And this is the same offensive quarter coordinator. I just said offensive quarter But this is the same offensive coordinator that the ravens still have Still have And and and they've been having these issues and they are very predictable like not and and lemar like not only What a defense is calling out the ravens plays. We were at home too. Other people sitting at the end of the bar We were calling out the plays. We've been calling out the plays too. A lot of time. We know what's going on Um, but it's just that's that's something to think about So, um, yeah, I definitely would think that it goes beyond money Um, and I just think it's about the future The next question also came from a newer team cubit clean patron my guy Matthias he said yo, what's good and graven first off just wanted to say thank you for the videos They're super insightful and they're always well done I don't know if they're super insightful. We don't know nothing, but I appreciate you watching them Matthias and he said, um, I was wondering if you've seen film on quentin johnson from tcu Or johnston, excuse me. Uh, you said we should drive someone who's that guy and I think he might be him He's six four in a monster on a field He plays just like raven in my opinion and wanted to know your thoughts keep up the good videos And I hope you're in the wife and kids are good. Appreciate it, man. Or should I say Matthias? Is it Matthias or Matthias let you let me know because I know I'd be messing up some names um, so my apologies in advance but, um You know what's funny? I was literally uh We because we went on a little vacation um This past weekend Uh, because when they when they said that the ravens game was gonna be sunday night instead of sunday afternoon I said, oh, okay. We can take a little vacation there. All right. Let's go. But Anyway, um, while we were on vacation. We were getting ready to um, we're getting ready to go out Me and my wife and Carter we were getting ready to leave the hotel and and shout out to uh Tori Smith and Chanel they were they were at the same hotel that we was at um, but we were getting ready to leave and um We were oh, I was watching the game. I was watching, uh, it was tcu and Not at tcu. Who were they playing michigan? Was it tcu or michigan? I think that was it, but um Y'all know, I don't I don't really watch college like that, but I did see the 74 yard catch and run um And I'm pretty sure it was the same guy Johnston uh quitting Johnston Um, because he he caught the ball and then he made that one defender miss and that was it He took it to the house. Uh, and yeah, he's six four. They were talking. I forgot what they said He runs in the 40, but they were like, hey, they they not catching him They ain't catching him in the open field and I was thinking like, oh, yeah That looked nice. That looked good. Um, so yeah, I guess uh this offseason because you know, we're gonna obviously be talking about Why I receive is more. Uh, this offseason. I I I'll try to look at some more stuff on him But from what I saw in that game Uh, he fit the bill next question came from my god another team can be clean patron My god jason e g he said this is my rand I'm highly disappointed in the ravens front office They have allowed far too much noise and influence in their house and I realize what this truly all culminates to The ravens have never had to live the life of managing and negotiating with a true star player Uh, for those that remember when ray lures hit the free agency window The market wasn't kind to him air reading to rail sucks had given their best years to baltimore before moving on So as it goes with lamar, I charge bishadi in the costa with how this has gone this far Agent or no agent his value is undeniable the ravens can't cheap their way around this Literally every qb that got paid this year equals garbage The leverage game has been lost by the front office and now with things like, uh, the 180 degree reports from mike freston Now the ravens are navigating in an unfamiliar space their own history documents how doing wrong by winning qb's comes back to bite them Dilpha uh flak overcame an anomaly because he was paid due to real-time service rendered I honestly think the end game is lamar gets paid to stay for the long haul But the ravens front office has no true experience in dealing with a bona fide star player And it's showing maybe if azi was still in the driver's seat. Uh, we wouldn't be here I don't know. I can't say that last part With azi noose. I I can't I can't say that last part. I remember, um, lunetta had asked about that same thing In a previous episode if azi would have got the lamar jackson deal done by now, um, but I guess yeah, we'll we'll never know um Now he said when rey louis hit the uh, when rey louis hit the his free agency window the market wasn't kind to him I don't remember cuz I don't remember what it was. I remember I was scared that he was going to go to dallas I was scared that he was going to go to dallas or denver I was I was frightened when he became a free agent, but he ended up returning to the ravens. So I hope I was I was scared. I was scared. Um so So I don't know. Um, but this this is that first this is his first deal lamar's first deal um, and yeah, he is a different type of Enigma he is a different type of star Um, and he's at the quarterback position I think that's what makes it so different because it's at the quarterback position like They've had star players at different positions. Like obviously rey louis. He's lying back every a safety rey rice Was running back to rail sugs outside linebacker. So they've had star players at other positions But at quarterback it's been different because joe fleco He wasn't a star like this. He was known around the league or whatever But he wasn't like a a star like lamar. So this is like way different It's way different and then Um, just how much attention lamar brings to the ravens. It's way different. So yeah, you're right This is definitely unfamiliar territory with the ravens. The last question on his patron's only episode of questions What's up came from my god, harry I said, I wish I was starting off this year right into you saying how brilliant we played and how greg romain was in What ingenious ingenious? I don't even know what that word is Ingenuitive with his play calling john harbaugh can outcoach anyway Or I think he meant anybody and our defense is dominant instead. I'm writing how steve bishaddy needs to clean house again Honestly wish I worked for the ravens because it doesn't seem like you can get fired for job performance And you just uh, you just get let go when your contract is up and they just decided not to renew it Harbaugh was outcoach roman offense was vanilla and now I just want to hear what the steve bishaddy plan to do about it I don't think you're gonna hear anything about that. Um, not publicly at least But anyway, he said I have been a ravens fan since they got awarded the team back in 96 from the browns until then I was cheering for the baltimore stallion cfl team I remember when they had the contest on what the team name was going to be because we didn't want to do The cleveland fans what isray did to us when he moved the colts to indy I'm just saying all of this to say for the first time. I don't have faith in the ravens as an organization We have had worse seasons, but we have always had direction We don't have direction right now. Sorry for the long run, but I just needed to get all of this out I really don't have a question except to ask what is our direction? Because it's obvious that the fans want lamar and the organization wants harbaugh These two things can no longer coexist sincerely frustrated fan. That's a deep question right there. Um, what what is the direction? Of the baltimore ravens. Um, and I think that's a fair question too Um, because a lot so many ravens fans are thinking past this season Because they're wondering like what's going to happen next. What's what's it going to be? Um, you have obviously You have all these pending free agents. You got roquan smith Uh, you got marcus peters, uh, could coleus camber end up calling it quits could justin houston end up calling it quits What's gonna happen with them? Um, but obviously the biggest question mark Is lamar jackson That's the biggest question mark with the baltimore ravens moving forward What's gonna happen with him and there's since there's so much unknown then it's like, oh Then of course with greg roman, that's another question mark. Uh, a lot of us I mean, none of us know what's gonna happen with him either Uh, because again, he contract could expire. He could be gone. He could be fired blah blah blah, but at the same time He could end up getting an extension Because ravens like doing these swears with stuff like so we we just don't know So I think since so much stuff is literally up in the air right now Then that's that's why the question was asked. What is the direction of the baltimore ravens? You
