 No, no, no, no, no, no that is so many Ravens fans response whenever we talk about the Ravens acquiring a Significant addition and establish wide receiver to go along with the guys that they got no, no, no, no No, we have enough weapons already is a lot of other Ravens fans Responds to that same topic, but let me tell you somebody who says no, no, no to you who disagree That will be one Lamar Jackson And I think just maybe Lamar Jackson knows a little bit about those right wide receivers that the Ravens have He knows a little bit about that Ravens offense And he knows a little bit about what they could use to help take them over the top now we've heard all the DK Metcalf rumors in the world, especially recently and We've seen Tyreek Hill be traded. We've seen Devonte Adams be traded And it just gives you another reminder that nobody is safe No player is safe Anybody can be had for a certain price and apparently that's what the rumor is with DK Metcalf right now Because there was a report that came out just yesterday That apparently DK Metcalf can be had for the right Compensation that the Seahawks are willing to listen so when I saw that what that told me was that the Seahawks They already got offers for DK Metcalf, but they want to try to see if they can get a little bit more and Somebody who wouldn't mind the Ravens sending an offer for one DK Metcalf. Well me of course, you already know But the Ravens quarterback the Ravens unanimous MVP The Ravens guy who broke like 50 million records and he'll break 50 million more One of those being a contract record, but we could talk about it another time Lamar Jackson He even reached out to DK Metcalf via social media and he's trying to add recruiter to his resume Will it work? Only time will tell But anyway, let's see what mr. Lamar Jackson had to say to DK Metcalf He said DK Metcalf slide and if you're not from Florida what slide means is come over come through Stop by so he told him to slide anyway. He said we got them guys, but you could slide too We welcome everyone here with open arms. You definitely one of them guys as well. So Lamar let it be known Hey, we already got some playmakers at wide receiver. We already got some weapons, but You can be added to these weapons as well and you would help make us that much better that much better and He would because we were a shot Bateman We were shot Bateman. We got a jump ball type of wide receiver to go up and get it type of wide receiver And then with Hollywood you got this speedy guy who who is a deep threat He's more than just a deep threat, but his specialty is being a deep threat But then with DK Metcalf you combine those two and you add about three inches of height and That that gives you a DK Metcalf Because he got crazy speed and he will go jump up and go get it and he got that that physicality So you if you like add that to what we have Can you add that to a Rashad Bateman add that to a Hollywood brand add that to a Mark Andrews add that for Lamar Jackson? Why not? Why wouldn't you do that? now again No, some people get so mad at me when I say this but I'm not trying to get anybody excited Not trying to get anybody overhype anything like that how you choose to feel that's on you If you want to get hyped about thinking about the possibilities of one DK Metcalf for this Ravens offense By all means go ahead if you don't want to get hyped thinking about the possibilities of DK Metcalf in this offense By all means don't go ahead. The choice is completely up to you I'm just here to inform you of what's going on Anyway now I know Whenever we talk about the Ravens potentially adding a wide receiver whether we talked about it through the draft whether we talk about it for a trade a lot Of people say the same thing and I can understand why they say this they say man if the Ravens add a wide receiver Via trade even if they draft them early They're not gonna use them. They're not gonna use them this offense. They're not gonna use the wide receiver He's gonna come here career is gonna be wasted Well, I say to you this and that's a legitimate response. That's a legitimate feeling Who are the wide receivers that the Ravens used the most last year? When they were healthy, obviously Hollywood Hollywood number one Mark Andrews to that's yeah, they invested a lot of money in him, right? Early on it was Sammy Watkins, but then he got hurt then who came through after that who got inserted into the lineup after that It was Rashad Bateman Rashad Bateman, they use Rashad Bateman more than Jane crochet They use Rashad Bateman more than Devin Duvenay It was Rashad Bateman and they actually should have used him even more than they did use him But my point is what the where the Ravens true investments are where they're real investments are that's what they're gonna use That's what they're gonna use. So if they were to acquire a DK Metcalf, they would have no choice But to use him no choice now I know a lot of Ravens fans the other argument which I couldn't completely understand Is the guy who we don't talk about? We don't talk about G rule. No, oh we talk about now though, but Greg Roman. They say man It's Greg Roman offense. It's DK Metcalf with just he will vanish here. He will disappear here so I can see what you're saying but My counter to that my it's more so my hopeful counter to that. That's what I'm hoping for is that with an addition of a DK Metcalf That they could Do what they had been doing last year would really open up the passing game But he could open it up that much more He's open up that much because like really think about it and again. I keep getting reminded of Kerry Dixon Who they just added as a assistant QB coach? And he used to coach wire receivers at Georgia Tech and So, I mean know the game Georgia Tech know the game. I forget which one anyway He used to be a wire receiver coach in college and he helped change his most recent School from them being like an option-based offense to a more pro sprayer type of offense So I really think and I'm hoping that But I do think the Ravens are trying to sort of step up the passing game We saw flashes last year. We did but I think the Ravens may be taking that and trying to really expand on that and If they are really trying to add a significant wire receiver like we've been hearing and stuff We'll see but if they try to add a significant wide receiver That will let me know that they're not done They're not done with the offense that they still trying to make tweaks to it and even still even with Again, y'all saw the impact of a tee more and y'all saw the impact of a Keith will you saw their immediate Impact with the Ravens wide receivers. You saw it like that It was almost like night and day from 2020 to 2021 now There was still some issues now. There certainly were but you saw a huge improvement And again, I still do think that Greg Roman Those cheeks are getting sweaty because he is on a type of a hot seat. He's on a type of a hot seat Again, they don't bring in guys to help somebody where they're weak at if that person isn't under pressure So, yeah, that's be that'll be something to look out for it, too But with a DK Metcalf, it would just just really help this Ravens team so much so much now I Know there another Ravens fans response is Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson, he only throws to Hollywood Lamar Jackson He only throws to Mark Andrews. Lamar Jackson. Don't even hardly get those other guys a shot And yeah, the majority of his targets do go to 89 and 5 they certainly do no argument on that one And that is something that we want Lamar Jackson to do a much better job of is really spreading that ball around because if you can really Spread that ball around then you can make other guys more much more significant threats And that'll allow you to really open up the offense open up the field and just make everybody's job that much easier But let me know if you think if Lamar Jackson is asking for somebody if Lamar Jackson is requesting somebody If he's openly publicly because he knows He knows anything that he says on Twitter anything that he says period is gonna be out there in the public It is going to be out there in the public so if he's openly requested a DK Metcalf slide You think that you see number 14 on the field or whatever his number would be you think Lamar Jackson gonna look his way and I think that Lamar Jackson and they would try to establish trust early now. You see Lamar Jackson is off-season Who's he been training with? See Lamar Jackson out there with Rashad Bateman You see Lamar Jackson out there with James brochure and those are guys who He should be giving more opportunities to them as well and Him building up that trust with those guys That would help his that will help his game that much more that'll take his game to a whole nother level Oh, another thing that would take his game to a whole nother level two things We talked about both of these before but just thinking about if Lamar adds that to his repertoire throwing guys open So not waiting until they open to throw it but throwing guys open that would be saying that's on the receiver too But also them the little timing routes to and a jump balls and he ends on the little fade routes So adding those those three things. Oh, it would just do wonders. He'll do wonders And then I mean the play calling got something to do with it too, but Lamar He he got a lot to do with it as well. So again Lamar got some ways that he could step up his game But you you add in a DK Metcalf that will certainly make his job a lot easier That would make Hollywood's job a lot easier. That would make Rashad Bateman's job a lot easier That would make Mark Andrews job a lot easier and Isn't that the goal? Shouldn't that be the goal? I feel like the whenever I hear Ravens fans say, oh, no, we got enough We got enough already. We got enough weapons already. We drafted the most wide receivers in the past couple years We got enough weapons already whenever I hear that. I feel like a lot of Ravens fans They just they don't want to make Lamar Jackson's job easier When the what like if you are a contractor if you're a contractor and You got to work on this construction project And you need to hire guys to help build whatever site you're trying to build you trying to build say you trying to build a Library just using that as an example. So your contractor you got hired to build a library and You need to hire workers Um Safe instance, you got five workers Those workers are straight. They are good enough to get the job done. They're good enough to finish the job But is your work really are you really excelling at that library and the jobs that they've completed in the past Have they really helped you take past libraries and past buildings over the top? What if you found like you got five workers now, but what if you had another worker? You're like, oh man That guy he would really help me a lot He would help make the job easier for the guys that I have already. Oh, man. Would you be like, you know what? No, I don't need to hire him. Yeah, he's got a good resume. Yeah He's helped do nice libraries in the past and nice buildings in the past, but you know, no We don't need to hire him You're crazy if you wouldn't why not Yeah, your guys that you have now have been enough, but y'all haven't really accomplished too much and You ain't you shouldn't you always be looking to accomplish more To get better at your craft. Oh, that's your site Anyway, my point I know that story went a little bit left, but my point is with a DK Metcalf The quality is there man is there is he a top five was receiving the league No, is he an established why receiving the league? Yep He sure is He certainly is and and he would do a lot for this Ravens offense It would be hard for them to take him off the field because you know Ravens gonna want to run a ball to DK Metcalf is physical So he would be out there blocking and then he would also be out there catching passes to So he could do more than one thing Hey, that's it. That's what it's about right the more you can do right But for me again, it's a no-brainer now another question I hear another sort of rebuttal that I hear about the Ravens possibly adding DK Metcalf Contract time DK Metcalf. He's in the last year of his deal. Why would the Ravens give up draft assets or draft capital blah blah blah? To get DK Metcalf when he's in last year of his deal Go all in Go all in for your quarterback Show your quarterback that you're willing go all in for That's it deal with the contract stuff later. Go all in for your quarterback worst-case scenario if The Ravens were to acquire DK met worst-case scenario for them if they acquired DK Metcalf worst-case scenario he helps out this offense and Then you can't come to a contract extension with him Then you get the load comp pick or whatever Okay, cool best-case scenario He helps out the offense a lot and you come to a contract extension with him So you would have him You would have him Hollywood and bait if you came to a contract extension with him You would have him Hollywood and Bateman for this year and next year Because Hollywood is fifth year option is next year Bateman Of course still on his rookie deal and then DK Metcalf will be extended But of course I would think I don't think if the Ravens traded for him that they was giving an extension right away No, I don't think that I Think that they he would have to prove it. He had to prove I would what you gonna do in this offense because they just gonna acquire no wires even I extension time No, I don't see them doing that But I mean that would be the goal though eventually like trading if you trading second-round pick first-round pick Whatever you trading your goal would be to end up signing to a contract extension eventually So but the way that I feel about it You can worry about all that stuff later way about all the money and all the contract and all that stuff later And I see a lot of people going back and forth. Oh if they traded for DK Metcalf What about Hollywood? What would you do with Hollywood? How would you treat Hollywood? Would you keep them? Would you trade them? What would you do me honest? I Want to keep them both. I will I will want to have all three a DK Metcalf a Hollywood Brown or a Shaw baby And I know first thing people gonna say who are about the cap the cap engraving what are you talking about? What paying all that money to wire receivers, please? It's not happening, buddy Why can't we have a Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey situation but on offense? Why can't we have that? The Ravens traded for they had they had Marlon Humphrey who they drafted The Ravens have Hollywood and Bateman who they drafted They traded for Marcus Peters Guess what they did? They signed Marcus Peters to a contract extension So they had two top corners And then they end up signing Marlon Humphrey too. So they had two top corners on contract extensions But whenever you talk about the Ravens doing that on offense, a lot of people shake their heads Like it's just oh, no, that's tasteless. That's terrible. That's bad cap strategy. Why would you pay two wide receivers? Is it? You can do it on defense, but you can't do it on offense But a is what it is. Anyway Ravens go get me DK Metcalf and go get him now
