 The Ravens signed Snacks Harrison or Mike Daniels to come in and help this defensive line. The second year receiving Miles Boykin struggles early this season, could we see his role reduced? Who will be some of the team leaders and stats this year for the Ravens? These and many many more questions on this episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers. If you want to send something to the PO Box, the address for that is down below in the description. First question came from my guy Zay King. He said, I hope all is well with you and your fam. Shoutout to my guy Zay King because Zay King is one of the most active people on this channel. Literally I see his name in every single comment section of every single video he comes through for all the live streams as random as they are, he will still be showing up for him. So Zay King I appreciate you man, I appreciate you just a huge supporter of this channel so thank you for that and thank you for being so active on a daily man because I see that big time. But anyway he said, let's say this was the case, the Infinity Stones were real and you could use them to make a team, reality, power, time, space, soul, mind, which would you have? One, a reality where your team is the best ever, two, the ability to scroll through time to pick players from any team in history for your current team, three, the most powerful physical attributes such as speed, vertical, etc. Nope, I'm not going with three. Number four, the ability to have infinite cap space and wide receivers with great route running so they can get up. That's funny. Five, motivators to ignite the souls of players on the team. Six, the greatest minds for players in coaching, perfect play calling with perfect game plan. Oh, I like that one. That's funny. Which would I choose? One, number one, because I feel like number one is more powerful than all of these because number one even seems like it's a combination of all of those. Well, not the coaching part though so that's, but I would do number one and I would choose number one with the hope that, that'd be kind of scary though, but I would choose number one with the hope that coaching wouldn't get in their way, that they could actually overcome poor coaching if poor coaching ended up happening. So yeah, I'm gonna go with one. I like this. This was a fun one, man. Next question came from my guy, Zay King as well. He said, engraving, how you doing? Hope all is well with the fam. Oh, they good. They good. He said, I was looking at some free agents and sources tell me that Damon Harrison is a free agent still. He could bring a veteran presence and help Kaleis and Wolf mentor guys like Mata BK and Broderick Washington and even undraft the free agents like Aaron Crawford out of UNC. What are your thoughts on this? I don't, I think the Ravens are going to leave everything as is on the defensive line because yeah, they got Kaleis Campbell there, Wolf and Mata BK like you mentioned Broderick Washington too, but they also have Brandon Williams. They also have Jiha Ward. They also have Jalen Ferguson. They also have Dalin Mack who's coming back for a second year. Last year he didn't play, but this year he's back. So I don't, I think they'll leave everything as is for now on a defensive line. Now, only way I will see him being signed by the Ravens would be in a situation that we don't want. And that would be if somebody were to get hurt. But other than that, I think the Ravens stick with what they got. Next question also came from a boy Zay King. He said, I've had a lot of time. So I decided to look at potential 2021 prospects that could help our team. One stood out to me the most and that was Xavier Thomas out of Clemson. He is fast and explosive off the edge and he hits hard. He can also come up and stop the run. If he plays at the level he's been playing at at Clemson, he could fall to us in the late first round or early second. What are your thoughts? Well, this edge defender, if he's an outside linebacker, defensive end, excuse me, he is going to be welcome with the Ravens for a few reasons. One, Jalen Ferguson will be going into his third year, which is great. But both Matt Judon and Tyus Bowser, they will be free agents. Matt Judon, I. They couldn't get anything done with them. And they're going to have Ronnie Stanley, Marlon Humphrey, Lamar will be eligible then. But they're going to have a lot of other deals to give out. And I just I don't think that Matt Judon is going to be part of the equation. It's just it's not looking like it. Anything is possible. Anything could happen. But I just I don't think he's going to be part of the equation. So there's going to be a need at that position. Outside linebacker, the end edge defender is going to be a need there. So I do expect Ravens to be picking at 32. Um, so if he does end up falling late first, early second, boom, he he would come right in and have plenty of playing time. And he would be like he will be right in will not right in the middle, but he will be because with Matt Judon and Tyus Bowser, they're both going to be free agents. Jalen Ferguson will be going into his third year, Kaleas Campbell. He'll be another year older. And hopefully he'll continue to be like wine and just get better with age. Derek Wolf, he is a pending free agent because he only signed to a one year deal. Now, we're hoping hoping that he ends up balling out and we end up wanting to extend him, but we'll see. So there's a lot of uncertainty on the edge and at the past rush position. So there could certainly be a need there. Next question also came from a boy, Zay King. He said, I've been looking at veteran free agents. And like you say, remember the Titans shout out to my guy, JT. He said, I was looking at Mike Daniels. Who my sources, Google say is a free agent. He brings veteran presence and can help players like Prodigy Washington and Justin Madibike with gap play when teams like Tennessee try to run up the middle. He can also rush to pass and force young QBs to keep an eye on the side or on one side of the offensive line, giving him a blind side that players like McPhee, Ferguson, Bowser and Judon can exploit. What are your thoughts? Pretty much the same. I still feel the same way. Just like with with snacks, they could be good additions. They could be good veteran additions. But with the Ravens, I think they're going to stick with what they got with a mix of their veteran players and their young guys. Now, him, Mike Daniels or snacks, they certainly wouldn't hurt. And I feel like they can only make the team that much better. But I think that the Ravens are just going to they're just going to hold on to what they got for now. And then if for one reason or another, one of the guys that they got now, say, for instance, they're not looking so good. And it's looking like, like, oh, well, he ain't panning out how we thought he was. Then they could possibly make a move. But for now, I think they're going to stay set. Next question also came from my boy, Zay King. He said, I was wondering if DJ Fluga was signed as a temporary mentor for Bredesen and Phillips, as they are all big and they excel in power run situations. Or do you think he'll make the active roster? Will he serve as a teacher in preseason and be gone by regular season? The thing with DJ Fluga, man, that guy, he yeah, his specialty was run blocking. That's what his specialty is. And the Ravens, they got him for a vet minimum. He's on a vet minimum, minimum deal. So it ain't no harm, no foul. It's super cheap. They could cut him, release him, and that would be that. That their salary cap, it wouldn't even take a hit. It will look at it. It will look at his salary and be like, oh, OK, that's that's it. Oh, see you. Salary cap wouldn't even be stun them. But so it's like a low risk, high potential type of thing with DJ Fluga. And, you know, there's got to be some extra motivation there with Seahawks having gotten rid of him. And him just having been sitting out there and Ravens scooped them up. They scooped them up. But it's like he has a chance to excel on it on this team where he played his best at in run blocking because they such a run heavy team. Now, of course, he's going to be asked to pass block, too, because he's not going to be a right guard just for running situations. And then they'd be like, OK, you know what, let's take him out. No, man. But with this team being a majority run team, I think this is a perfect opportunity for DJ Fluga to make himself some money because I while I do hope he does excellent and amazing with the Ravens, I could see him end up cashing out with somebody else after this season because he did so well and he looks so good in Ravens system because it's perfect system for him. So as long as he can hold his own and get a little better at pass protection and blocking those interior defensive linemen, DJ Fluga, he could set himself up nice. But yes, I do think he will also be a mentor to the young guys, like you said, Bredesen and Tyree Phillips, because he's a veteran. He's been around. He was on the charges. He's on the Seahawks. He's been around and he's been around some success as well. So he knows what it's like to have success. He knows what it's like to mess up. He knows what it's like to come short, to come up short on me. That's why Charger said, yeah, OK, bye. Then Seahawks say, OK, bye. So he knows what it's like. So this is an opportunity for him to do some teaching, both on and off the field. Next question also came from a boy, Zay King. He said, Judon signed his tag after the draft, which got me thinking. If we had drafted an Air Drusher, do you think Judon would have waited longer to sign the tag or maybe not have signed it at all? I think I think he still would have signed it because the reason I think he would have signed it, even if we had would have drafted an Air Drusher or drafted his potential replacement is because that's 16 meals sitting there for and is guaranteed. And if he would have signed earlier, or whenever he signed, then he would automatically lose control of his situation. Why? Because then he would be he would be on the official roster, the Ravens, so they could trade them to anybody that would be willing to take him on. But with Judon is the guaranteed money is the biggest thing. The guaranteed money. And with that guaranteed money, no matter what happens, no matter what team you are, that's yours. And the worst case scenario would be even if they drafted his replacement, worst case scenario would be if he didn't get traded. And he he just he just remained with the Ravens. Oh, that would be so bad for him. No, of course not. And he began paying 16 meal, fully guaranteed. So I do think that I still think he would have ended up signing the tag. Do I think he would have waited longer to sign it? Um, no, because if he would have waited the long he waits to sign it, it doesn't really, in my opinion, it wouldn't really benefit him. Even if the Ravens did draft his replacement, because again, he he wouldn't if he wanted to be traded, like because if the Ravens would have, if he would have signed it before the draft, that that would that would raise the chances of him possibly being traded. That would raise him big time. And him not him waiting to sign it till after the draft that really he sort of forced not really forced the Ravens hand, but because I mean they could have drafted his replacement, but they didn't. But it just the way that the Ravens drafted it kind of looked like it made it look like, hey, you know what we count on Jude on being hit this year. So it's it could have been a tricky situation. It could have been even more tricky than it is. It's not really too tricky right now. Because now obviously with the franchise tag deadline passing for them to sign with Jude on to a long-term deal, only two options left. He either plays for the Ravens on the tag or he gets traded somewhere else, plays for another team on the tag. So with that being said, I feel like regardless money-wise, it was a win-win for Jude on. It was a win-win for Jude on and the reason I say that is because with Jude on if if he would have signed a tag before the deadline to get an extension and been traded, then he would have been traded and ended up getting his long-term deal. And the long-term, him being traded probably would have been contingent on the new team signing him to a long-term deal. So then he would have had some say-so, a little bit of leverage in that with whatever team he was to be traded to. Or again, if he is traded or not, then he plays on it. He plays on the franchise tag for 16 mil this year. So money-wise, I think it's a win-win. It was a win-win regardless for Jude on no matter when he signed it. Considering the Peridman like play we saw from Boykin drops. I don't like that, not at all. He said a few times last season, do you think his role in the team might be reduced and that he might end up like Jalil Scott? No, I don't see that happening. Reason I don't see that happening is it's too early. It's way too early. He didn't even give him any chances last year. Lamar ain't hardly throwing the ball last year. Because he did make some nice plays, man. And but drops weren't like a consistent thing with Miles Boykin because he wasn't consistently involved in the games. We saw the drop in the playoffs and we saw some drops here and there throughout the regular season, but drops weren't a big thing. Really with anybody on the whole team, drops were not a consistent issue with anybody. The playoff game was when I got these dudes just decided to leave their hands at the crib except Hollywood. So with Miles Boykin, I don't see his role being reduced. I don't see him losing snaps anything like that. Especially because he's such a good blocker, too. And he got that big frame. It's like Miles Boykin. It's like, you know, you got that potential, man. He got that potential and we just hoping on it. We're hoping that he cashes out, man. It comes through. And another reason why I don't see his role being diminished necessarily is because he was an Eric Dacosta pick. With Jalil Scott, that was Aussie. Miles Boykin is the second wide receiver that Eric Dacosta ever drafted. And I don't see Eric Dacosta giving up on him after just one season. The last question on this episode of NFL Questions From Subscribers. I should call it Zay King Question From Subscribers. It also came from Zay King. He said, who do you think will be the team leader in stats this year? These are my projections. Passing yards, Lamar, 4,300. Pass touchdowns, Lamar, 41. Rush yards, Mark Ingham, 1,200. Rush touchdowns, JK, 11. Whoa, that's a lot right there. OK, OK, receiving yards, Hollywood, 1,300 receiving touchdowns. Oh, 14. Whoa. Tackles for loss. Kaleis Campbell, 13, sat 11 and a half for Kaleis. Oh, oh, you think they take in six picks? Whoa. Hey, I would be cool if all this stuff happened. Hey, I mean, and you never you never know. You never know. Well, Lamar, 4,300, I must say, I must say about 40, 41, 50 or 42. As far as the number of yards, 4,150 or 4,200. Passing touchdowns. Hey, I think I said the same thing. Maybe like 41, but the interceptions go up to. So I think he gets like maybe like 41 and 11, something like that. Maybe 41 and 12, something like that, because I think he might end up playing more this season than he did last season. Last season, again, remember he did 36 touchdowns, but missed two games in a quarter. So he missed nine quarters of football. It's you all know already. Um, Russian yards. Yeah, I think England will get it, too. I will say about I'm going to say about a thousand fifty, maybe 1100. Now, Russian touchdowns. I'm going to go with England for that one, too. But I'm going to say eight or nine. I think eight or nine receiving yards. Yeah, I think Hollywood will get that. I'm going with I'm going to go with 1100, 1100. I mean, I love it if he got even more, but I'm going to go with 1100. Now, you know, with Hollywood, you know, you're going to break some and he been putting on all that muscles. He's going to get some people to stick for him. He's still going to be able to shake him. He's still going to be able to burn him and all that. But I'm going with 1100. Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully we come back to this video next year and be like, oh, haha, you were wrong. And I'm going to be like, haha, I'm glad I'm happy. I want to be wrong. I want to know how to get more of the good stuff, not the bad stuff. Receiving touchdowns. He said, Mark Andrews, 14. I could see Mark Andrews leading. I could say 11. Yeah, I could I could see 11 for him because red zone threat tight in. I mean, he could break a couple of long ones, too. But red zone threat mark mark and yeah, I say 11. Attack us for loss. Kalaeus Campbell with 13. I said, Derek Wolfe. I said, Derek Wolfe with 11. Derek Wolfe with like 10 to 11. Sax Kalaeus Campbell, 11 and a half. Sax, I'm going to go with I'm going to go with judon. I'm going to go with judon. Cash out version of judon. Money version of judon. Hey, I'm on a franchise tag and I'm trying to get paid. It's probably not going to be about Ravens, but it's going to be about somebody that judon. And I'm going to go with 11 and a half or 12 sex for Matt judon. 11 and a half or 12 sex for Matt judon. Cause you know judon, judon begin them games where he like stacks, man, where he be stacking. And sometimes he get quiet, but hopefully this season he don't get quiet at all. And so I'm going with judon for that one. Then interceptions. I gotta go with MP, but Marcus Peters, I'm going with five. Yeah, I'm going five, Marcus Peters. Maybe six, I want to say six, but I'm going with five. Now he'll be with Ravens the whole year and he will know the system even more than he did last year. I mean, last year he came on, he got it, but this year he'll know it even more. He already got paid. So he's not going to fall off, he's not going to play lax, he's not going to just chill, he's still going to do his thing. So yeah, I'm going to go Marcus Peters, five or six. So you brought some fire questions this episode. Shout out to Zeke.
