 This has been a crazy busy Monday. I wanted to try to work on and drop this video a little earlier, but stuff happened I had a lot of stuff. I got to take care of Carter. He getting ready to start school today And it's just it's been a lot been handling a lot, but uh, we're here now This is going to be a crazy busy I can't even say week. Well, yeah, I guess week because I was gonna say like a little more than 24 hours about 27 hours depending on what you see in this video Because the Ravens they have a lot of moves to make to get down to 53 men on the roster But then it doesn't stop there because they have to get to the 53 man roster Well, the initial 53 man roster by Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern time, but then the following day by by Wednesday I think at 4 p.m. Eastern time to they have to establish the practice squad Just to give you all the heads up the way that it's gonna work The initial 53 man roster is just simply that it's an initial 53 man roster So that means a lot of the moves that are made some of them might be headscratchers Some of them might seem a little strange or what not like though that doesn't make any sense But again, it's a process. That's not gonna be the final roster That's not gonna be the roster that they go out there with week one with like most of the guys will be there for week One, but they're gonna have to maneuver and do some little crazy things to get the roster right So just a heads up. It's going to be very busy I would expect probably a lot of notifications from us so turn your notifications on so you don't miss anything So because again, it's gonna be pretty pretty busy very very busy.

It's all love on this end now Let's get into the first question that came from a patron my guy AW juice man now. He said handgraven. Congratulations on the baby girl my brother all love and support Caught a big brother now. How about that man lol so happy for you and she is going to get a good dad Thank you, but no thanks because we are not having a baby There was a little mix up the other day on Instagram because I posted a picture me and my wife at a baby shower But the baby shower was not for us and initially when I first posted it I was thinking okay It's a picture of us at a baby shower, but then I realized like I saw a bunch of people saying congrats and like oh, no Ain't no congratulations over here. No, no congratulations over here for us Um, and I had to get that cleared up. We have no baby So anyway, I appreciate the congrats, but it's not needed anyway He said I've been pondering this on my mind for a while 2014 to 2018 were the days of CJ Mosey we found our heir to the almighty number 52 However, Ozzy or any of the Ravens guys on top weren't taking the initiative to get him an extension or signed at the time Mosey was our most valuable and best player aside from T sizzle, but he was aging season by season Judon and Zidarius weren't exactly them dudes that then there's a Tucker Marlowe. Oh, then he said right now. There's currently a Tucker Marlowe Oh Marlowe was a rookie back then and in his second year. He was teammates with CJ Mosey Ravens basically let him walk Do you think that same thing will happen to Lamar? Oh I hope not I hope not. I see what you're saying like CJ Mosey seemed to be like a cornerstone piece for the Ravens But um, I would hope not for the CJ Mosey They did and I mean it when you think about it, especially the way you put it I mean think about it all sounds pretty familiar But it's this is different is the middle linebacker versus quarterback and we hope it would not get there But the Ravens did offer CJ Mosey a deal. They offer him a deal to stay like hey, it goes an extension There you go. Take it or leave it. He left it because the money wasn't right. So hopefully Lamar Hopefully the same thing don't happen You Next question came from a boy mg shout out to you being a patron my brother He said hey, what's good engraving? Hope you in the family doing well with us being bit Bit thin at the edge rush position temporarily at least until tires comes back and since our interior pressure has improved with Pierce and Jones Jones is out too Do you think that we that we'll free up our edge guys and give them better looks at the quarterback in other words We also solidify our edge rush by proximity. Let me know what you think looking for your content and peace Appreciate it. Um, so just really improving the quality of them rushing the quarterback I think that's it's to be determined. I mean so far in the preseason has been a good start The past rush has looked a lot better But it's also been the preseason because in the preseason not only has there been a nice little past rush but they also produced sex and That was a big issue with wink throughout his tenor. He can produce some pressure now, but it wouldn't Produce sex and that's why when he said oh sex overrated. No, I Disagree with that wholeheartedly. They are definitely not overrated so With that being said, it's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time till we really find out how real and how significant of a positive or negative change It's Mike McDonald defense is but if he allows edge rushes to be edge rushes and get quality edge rushes Then we'll be in good hands next question Or really it was a comment came from my guy Gary and appreciate you being a patron Gary He said the Ravens do not need street clothes on the bench will full of just my sense That was it straight up like that He had nothing else to say about it next question came from another patron my guy feel he said I know a lot of fans like Tyler Huntley and others say trade him because he deserves a chance to battle for a starting spot But I don't see that till next offseason because it's too late and right now Seattle and Atlanta are tanking for a top 10 trap pick and To draft the top two Quarterbacks Bryce young from Alabama and CJ Straff from Ohio State due to being in rebuild mode through all preseason games I got to say Anthony Brown has looked better than Tyler Huntley because he pushes it Downfield yes, he does he does a really good mix He'll do the thinking and Duncan now you take the little short stuff But he will push that ball downfield for sure. He will take them chances And they're like they're like calculated chances. They're not like bad chances He's not like throwing these terrible thoughts. No, he takes some good chances and they've been paying off Anyway, he said he has a smooth throw emotion and he has the arm strength 256 yards on only 15 completed passes a lot of fans will disagree, but I would rather see Brown as The number two QB because Huntley is mainly a dinking dunk passer your thoughts engraving and take care I wouldn't be mad at that. I was just talking to one of my guys the other day and saying that I would not be mad Oh, yeah, it's my god markets I was saying I wouldn't be mad if they went with Anthony Brown as QB to and Tyler Huntley got traded So Tyler Huntley he could get a chance to go start somewhere and then they would have another undrafted free agent Back up rookie quarterback like they did with Tyler Huntley a couple years ago and Lamont's a starter It'd be the same thing all over again So I wouldn't be mad at that at all and I would be comfortable with it So will it happen? Probably not but you never know. I will know over the next 24 hours But probably not and he said also who do you think has earned the last linebacker spot between John Ross or Christian Welch? They both played great. Well Ross had one second watch had two and a half. Hmm. Is there a way to do both? Well, I would say probably Ross But then Welch on a practice squad. I don't think anybody gonna take him from the practice squad So I would say yeah Ross roster Welch squad next two questions game from a guy job. Oh, he said as a child We always wondered if we came across a lamp and a genie appeared What would our three wishes be well today? Mr. Graven you found that lamp a genie appears and grant you three wishes But there's a catch your three wishes can only be Ravens related So what are your three wishes? It can be Ravens past present or future So think carefully because you only get three and you can't wish for more wishes Um Well one the Ravens win the next three Super Bowls or actually the Ravens they they win the Super Bowl Ever because this is this could actually be one wish the Ravens win the Super Bowl every other year for the next 10 years Also, that would be five Super Bowls. Yeah, I would take that That'd be cool. They win the Super Bowl every other year for the next five years the Ravens they Changed their philosophy that'd be another wish they update their philosophy They don't want again. It's not getting rid of the running game But they just put play places a lot more emphasis on the passing game and on the wide receivers and really get the most out of those guys and number three They show you why the cap is cap and then his next question He said what are your thoughts on this poll? Who do you think is the worst QB to everyone a Super Bowl? So some of the names are that are on this poll with Trent deal for Joe flakko Nick foes Brad Johnson I couldn't put Joe flakko on there Because again once he got his little groove once he got a little flakko mojo in the playoffs after those first couple years Then he was on in the playoffs Brad Johnson that was with the Bucks. I think Nick foes obviously with the Eagles Trent deal for with the Ravens too Probably Trent out of those four guys I say probably Trent then Brad Then foes and then flakko would be dead last at a dead last out of that list next question came from tech 13 What's up tech? He said ain't great. Hope you days going well I was just thinking about the Ravens offense and what came to my mind with why Greg Roman is not putting his players No offense in the best position to succeed if you have Lamar Jackson DC's are going to stack the box just because of the narrative Anyways, and if you have a healthy JK, you could run a spread offense Which he did in college and played at a high level with Mark Andrews I'd say a likely out wide this will most likely leave Bateman and Robinson who can win one-on-one matchups and likely Will most likely go off against a linebacker a one-on-one coverage Or if you put a CB3 on him It's probably gonna be a matchup nightmare on Slans and you would have the threat of Lamar Jackson taking off or handing it off to JK. I just don't think Roman and company have done the absolute best position Oh have done the absolute best To contend for a ring deep in the postseason also Ravens, please play look Please please pay Lamar Jackson five years 250 mil already You're not low balling the guy that says he wants to become a billionaire. Oh, what a beautiful way to end this in that in that off Yeah, I love how you put it I love how you um you put that offense into perspective and how you you just really brought it to life Because he talked about them running the spread offense. So Lamar and JK in the backfield Okay, and then yeah Bateman the markets Robinson likely Andrews. It's like who do you double? And and that's what I've been wanting for the Ravens for the longest for them to have quality weapons and really be like All right, who's who they gonna try to take out the game because we got somebody else that could go off So hopefully we get to see that this year with Ravens offense next question came from a guy Rodney Kay And I've been I appreciate y'all cuz we getting a lot of new faces in here We got a lot of the same people saying quit but now this episode we get a lot of new faces I appreciate y'all. He said hey, what's up in gravy and hope all this well with you and the fam Been watching for years. I grew up as Ravens fan and it grew more watching the channel. Hey, appreciate that. Thank you But back to the matter at hand first question How many yards and TDs do you predict likely we'll get and second? Do you think Jiro will see the possibility of this I play quarterback and understand routes and defenses? Well, I'm sure they will line likely up outside on many plays along with Mark Andrews being inside not to mention Robinson and Bateman will be on the field as well Wow, both questions like go hand-in-hand with each other this one in the last one But anyway, he said as well. What does this what this does is throws the defense off having likely splitting the coverage with Andrews Needing to be double likely will either get mismatch a mismatch corner to guard him or safety Which will put the defense at a disadvantage to begin with let me know what you think and thanks for listening Sorry for the long message. No, you gotta apologize for that. How that is crazy Because these are two different people two different emails What this is pretty much the same exact question So about mismatches and that's what we hope happens. That's what we really hope happens Hope the Ravens make a lot of mismatches with their offense versus other teams defense is because they have so many possibilities They got so many possibilities and different things that they can do and just I really hope they take advantage of it I really do we really do we all really do But to the first part of the question how many yards and touchdowns do I predict likely we'll get I say I think the yardage will be I guess low I say about like six six six hundred six fifty yards Maybe seven hundred. Yeah, I say about six hundred. I say about six hundred yards, but I think the touchdown will be high So like six hundred yards, maybe like seven eight touchdowns See another name that really don't really send in questions like that next question came from my guy Chris L He said ain't Raven. Hope you're well Got a question for you that might intrigue all members of our team keep it clean family I love how you put they said our team keep it clean family because that's exactly what it is He said unless I missed a big report or something. Have you heard or wondered on how defense is adjusting to the new scheme? It's a whole new thought process for everybody. Is it similar to his scheme at Michigan last year He did bring Michigan's defense from 115th overall in 2020 to third overall last year And seems to utilize every player strengths as a whole to improve reactions assignments and teamwork to explode in a good way I looked at some film from last year and the first two games showed some similarity with a ton of zone rotation combo zone reads with man zero coverage outside or They could just be duping like they do and show complete brand new schemes to the Jets Sounds nuts, but it would be unlike Ravens to show complete decoy offense and defense this month to give up nothing to the league I think this might be possible at least somewhat because I've seen just one or two Roman and McDonald cookie cutter presses all summer And Harbaugh is King vague. I like that What do you think sorry for the rant? It's always stay safe take care of the family and be cool appreciated Chris Yeah, I mean we for that I think we won't know till we know because I know We can start to see a little bit of stuff in preseason, but they they're not showing nothing in preseason And they're showing up in there. They doing very very basic stuff very basic stuff very simple stuff They not really scheming up like that They look trying out little stuff here and that trying to get different guys involved in what but they ain't doing nothing crazy So I think what we'll really learn about Mike McDonald And how he operates definitely obviously in the first game, but I think by like week three or four We could start to really look for patterns With this defense and see what he specializes in what he does great and what he needs to improve on as well Next question came from my guy Jared. So what's up in gravy? God bless you and the fam I was just watching question from subscribers on the day of the Ravens last preseason game in the video There was a question about who will be CB3 cornerback three and it made me realize how much depth and strength we have in the secondary True forgive me if this question sounds goofy. I don't have much technical football knowledge on formations and such But do you think the Raven should try to play as much nickel as possible this year? I think we should try to put the best 11 on the field It's not a secret that our linebackers are much weaker than our corners in our safety So I think how Hamilton is a better tackler than someone like Pat Queen and he's more versatile. No hate to Pat I hope he breaks out this season. You always talk about the how the Raven should play to their strengths I think that means putting the best 11 on defense Even if that means the inside linebackers Pat Queen Bines and Harrison getting less snaps again No disrespect to them. They're all on this team for a reason But on paper the second day is elite and I think they should all be on the field as many times as possible Appreciate your videos and hope to see you at the bank come late January. Hey So too, I appreciate it Jared. Hey, um Yeah, man, I think with with the second area. It is definitely a position of strength But everything just depends because I can't sit here and say alright I just hope that they and nickel as much as possible What if it's what if they're on the goal line? What if the offense is on the goal line? You can't be a nickel then you gonna be in the little goal line package of what now a goal line defense It just it just all depends. So you want like you mentioned, you got to put your best players on the field for sure As far as the the cornerback in linebacker situation I think that's that's where it gets really tricky because that's where a lot of safeties could come into play You mentioned Kyle Hamilton as one of them Chuck Clark could come into play With Patrick Queen and Malik Harrison and Josh Bynes and of course the roster this this video is being recorded before the roster's official so I Don't think any of those guys obviously Patrick Queen not gonna get cut Josh Bynes. I don't think he will either Malik Harrison, I don't think he will but there's always that chance, but I don't think he will but you never know But I don't think he will but I just don't know I don't think he will But yeah, they're gonna be doing a lot of mixing and matching They are they're gonna be doing a lot of mixing and matching with those linebackers and the safeties Tony Jeff if he makes the roster we'll see Because he could be one of those guys that ends up playing a lot of linebacker the dime linebacker old Him Chuck Clark out Hamilton them just rotating a lot But with that when you have a defensive back like a safety that could play that role It can also help you in past coverage depending on who it is because sometimes there'll be safety that are better than linebackers and coverage I'm done. They could be linebackers a little bit of safety and covered it just all depends But I do like you're thinking about really having the best 11 on the field But then at the same time Since there is a lot of depth in the secondary, which is a beautiful thing that allows you to Have a better rotation and of course you're not gonna be subbing guys in and out left and right back and forth You don't want to do that because again guys got to get into a rhythm and whatnot But if somebody's tired if somebody's having a Struggle game for a little bit or somebody just needs a little break for a quick little breather something They just like I've been out there getting cooked or hey I've been out there locking down and I'm a little tired from locking all these receivers down Hopefully it's the latter But you have other quality guys that could step in next question Hey, and you know what at first when I first saw the title the subject said who's joining the wing But then I picked up the question just now and uh, okay, I get you now He said quick question. Oh, he came from my guys. It was a Darian He said quick question before the 53 man roster is finalized Tony Jefferson Geno stone Ardarius Washington One is getting cut and scooped up by the Giants. Who will it be? Hmm. That's something right there. Um, I Think I think Geno stone definitely makes the roster. I think he I think he's a lock to make the roster I think he's the safest one especially out of these three to make the roster second safest second safest for I think really for emotional value Being a veteran and they really love him Tony Jefferson, but I don't think he's safe though I don't think Tony Jefferson Ardarius Washington are safe, but in the order of safest I think Geno stone is a lock and I think Tony Jefferson has a much better chance than Ardarius Washington to make the roster But yeah, so I could see them cutting Tony Jefferson. Oh, but as far as who's joining wink I could see them doing one of them Raven deals where they cut Tony Jefferson initially And then they end up bringing him back after they put somebody on IR designated to return Or I could see them. Yeah, I could see him going to wink the Giants needed some help there I could see that yeah, either one really Tony Jefferson though because that would give them a better I'm not sure what their safety position is right now But if I had to pick one, I would say Tony Jefferson the last question on this episode came from my boy Lord valley. He said what's up my guy been a long time since I spoke but his preseason is over and I'm loving how the Ravens They're the entire offseason. He's a now after looking at the third of the team play I love it coming in to probably the biggest season in Raven's history on offense Lamar's contract the Ravens running backs coming back Receivers playing against all odds. Yes, sir. Oh line-seeking redemption. Oh, I hope they get it And of course the play call of Roman and game management of Hall ball spot on He says so I see a gym in that boy likely and honestly We found our number three pass catcher number one Andrews number two Bateman and number three likely now The other guys will hit if you's right, but I can see the offense lining up three receiver sets But with Bateman Robinson and likely as a slot opposite of Andrews But still having Andrews on the line with Dobbins in single-back formation seat I'm loving this episode because this is the third time when when y'all are really coming up with these different concepts And these visions of of the Ravens offense and what in the potential of it what they could do what they should do what they might do and Just the the possibilities of the success that it can make the Ravens have on offense I appreciate y'all for that But he said I think it's no possible way likely plays less than 30 snaps and doesn't get eight balls thrown To him. He is Aaron Hernandez 2.0 and I can't wait. Well, hopefully he's not Aaron Hernandez 2.0 Nothing, but I get what you're saying Anyway, he said he is the star that we were looking for in an actual wide out and with the addition of Robinson If he can create separation two to three times a game Lamar can and in Lamar can deliver that deep ball OMG look out. That's my time love the channel Ravens flock. Let's go. Hey spot on man Spot on I hope all of this stuff that y'all been talking about in this episode all comes to fruition when it comes to that offense and Ravens just They let it they let it let it fly man. They let it fly and they just rack up points They rack up yards, but most importantly in the process. They rack up wins. We out
