 Now, before we get started, I got to give a huge shout out to the newest team keeping clean channel member Kevin and the newest team keeping clean patron Chris 401 if anybody would like to become either one of the two all that stuff is down below in the description And if not, hey, let's keep it moving and get right into this episode first question came from a patron my guy surge He said this or that and gravy the team keeping clean this past Sunday's loss to the dolphins was a devastating one Luckily one of the perks of living in Atlanta is that there is no shortage of football fans that know how it feels you ain't lying about that one and The Raven certainly did their best Atlanta Falcons impersonation This past Sunday against Miami, but anyway back to his question My local peeps were very comforting fair warning. This might be a long message. Well a fair warning This may be a long answer. I have a few takeaways from the dolphins game number one Marcus Williams looked phenomenal even when other defenders were giving up big players He wasn't too far from the ball I can't wait to see how he'll play when we get our defense in order and let him loose. I agree I agree 1,000% spot on number two zero does not deserve a pass Although he called a good game through 75% of it He could not get the job done if I as a realtor start a transaction with a client by getting them Pre-qualified getting there off the offer accepted completing the inspection Negotiating repairs and I don't turn in the documents in a timely manner my clients lose time money and the house Oh, I appreciate this analogy. I love it and in turn. I don't get paid and no one will want to work with me No one cares. How good you start if you can't get the job done And that was an all caps for emphasis and that's true That's true. No and a lot of times this like we've seen it this past week and it's like I know Lamar Jackson. He had a game That man had a game three passing touchdowns the one Russian touchdown and it wasn't just any old QB sneak Russian touchdown No, no, no the 79 yard touchdown run where he ain't even go for a speaker. He said they're looking back He was talking about it. He was looking up at the big screen. He saw looking back He said the speed is different so it slows you down But Anyway, a lot of people they they not even necessarily dismissed it but sort of like overlooked it It's not getting a lot of credit and I can understand because it came in a loss It came in a loss. So a lot of people they're not gonna be like, oh man. Well, hey, especially with Lamar Jackson They're not gonna be like, oh man, why it's such a great game with the Ravens lost I don't know. They're gonna be like the Ravens lost because that's what it comes down to now Oh, well, you know, we over here. We're not ignoring how great of a game. He had certainly can't But the the Ravens they they lost They lost so a lot of people they sort of put it to the side and I mean with with tour tour through six six touchdowns Yeah, they're too big buddy through six touchdowns So I can understand why a lot of analysts and media and all that are overlooking Lamar's good game Because one tour through six touchdowns. Thanks Ravens defense, but then on top of that the Raven I mean, ooh, I wish I could say the Ravens one the dolphins. They also won but anyway Now on to my question. Oh, yeah Ravens a price still going up Price still going up because he did his part But anyway, I've seen through social media that the Ravens were trying to make a trade But it didn't work out it's clear that we are thin at both cornerback in Paris, Russia at cornerback It would help to have a veteran quarterback that will avoid giving up touchdowns to our receivers running the same route every play And they say the best pass defense is a good pass rush If you had to pick one would you want the Ravens to trade for a pass rusher knowing we may be saturated later on down the road Or would you rather trade for a veteran quarterback that would eat into the rookies playing time? Side note, I wouldn't mind trading for Aaron Jones, but I'm biased because I grew up in El Paso much love and thank you for reading my question So, hmm, this is a good one. What's more important to the Ravens success? Is it the pass rush or the secondary? well, I Think that a lot of times a lot of people think it's pass rush Because they like oh if you got a good pass rush that just makes life easier for Cornerbacks for safety for the secondary as a whole and it's true Like if you got a good pass rush as a cornerback You you got way less time your job is made so much easier and that's what it should be about people making other people's jobs easier But your job is made so much easier because you ain't got to cover people for as long So if you looking in front of you and you got Tyreek here, you could be stressing out You could be contemplating man. Should I retire at halftime? But if you got a good pass rush you like oh, okay, Tyreek here. Yeah, he fast But he ain't gonna be too fast for too long because I ain't gonna have to cover him for too long So ain't got to worry about it like that like that still gonna worry about it But having a good pass rush makes life so much easier now on the flip side Great secondary great coverage if dudes can cover and cover for a longer period of time that can help the pass rush eventually Get there cuz the quarterback gonna be holding the ball holding waiting waiting for somebody to come open But if your secondary can cover then maybe your pass rush can eventually get there So if I had to choose one that was more important to the Raven success really any team success I would say pass rush. I would definitely say pass rush Because again, I feel like pass rush makes cornerbacks job easier than a good secondary makes a pass rush jobs easier Both go hand-in-hand, but pass rush. I feel like has a bigger impact now You still want a good secondary But again pass because pass rush you you getting quarterback hits you getting pressure you getting sacks So sometimes with a good pass rush a pass won't even get off But with a good secondary like you're covering longer and it's not necessarily even a guarantee though that your pass rush makes it home to the quarterback So but in the Ravens particular situation Like you mentioned, he said it could be saturated down the road and what I think he meant by that is um because he sent this question On September 22nd the date today is the 23rd So yesterday they signed JPP. He sent this at September 22nd at 4 22 p.m. JPP got signed. Oh, it was announced that he got signed around like 325 so about 330 p.m So about an hour after JPP got signed. He sent this So Ravens right now without fairway Justin Houston Jason Pierre Poe Brandon Copeland, he's on a practice squad But then with the saturated part later on they'll be getting back tires Bowser after week four So round week five, I think he'll be back may take him a couple a week or two to get right really back into it But we'll see we'll see and then maybe it's not a guarantee But maybe they'll get David a job old back this season not counting on him Everything from him in my eyes that you get this year. It's a bonus I know there's been a lot of back-and-forth still over the draft picking what not but anything you get out of David A job old this year. It's a bonus They should get Travis Jones back against the Patriots So that'll be nice for the the past Russian the defensive line just as a whole So in the Raven situation I would probably go Corner now he did talk about how uh, if you get a corner Because it could cut into the rookies playing time a veteran corner back and yeah It could but for me. I'm like a right here right now Trying to win trying to win a Super Bowl not trying to think about oh, yeah Well five ten years down the road you can think about that later. Let's talk about the right here right now You trying to make something happen? All right, so I would probably if I had to choose one I would probably go with cornerback Because you you got Marlon Humphrey you got Marcus Peters and you got your safety situation is Marcus Williams has done really good cow Hamilton. He'll come along. You got Chuck Clark But after Marcus Williams and Marcus, I mean excuse me after Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters It's just the rookies be oh you got Brandon Stevens to I forgot about him You got Brandon Stevens. You could call up our Darius Washington Mmm, that's a tough one because then you think oh as far as past Russia If you get somebody like that like that then that can really just give a huge boost to the past rush But then you can make Justin Houston that could allow him to be even fresher coming off the sideline Don't fairway will still be out there, but he is somebody young and somebody that's That's one of them guys That's a tough one. That's a tough one because you got JPP and it's not a guarantee that JPP is the He's not gonna be the JPP of old and we shouldn't expect that but um and bow's are coming back from injury So we'll see what happens with that and David a job. Oh, you don't know so, you know what? Maybe I'll change my answer to past Russia Maybe I changed my answer because if you get a nice past Russia, then you go to have him in a doubt fair way And then you still or depth your depth guys to be Justin Houston and JPP and then bow's on top of that, too So yeah, I think I would actually go with past Russia because they got a healthy Marlin Humphrey healthy market speeders Brandon Stevens gets healthy again And then the two rookies because the rookies that's the thing at the end of it I know everybody's thinking about the end of the game and everybody all manner into the game and suck You had Jalen Davis or Jalen Alma Davis on Tyree kill one-on-one. He just let them go right past them No, no, no, no, but it was supposed to be a safety back over top. But anyway Everybody is so hung up on the very end of the game what happened with the rookies But they had actually had some really good moments, too They both of them had some good moments throughout the game now again the end is what everybody remembers Everybody remembers the worst part so it can make people forget about the good Just like we talked about with Lamar Well since the Ravens lost a lot of people like oh, they forget about Lamar's great game Because the Ravens lost and just like with the rookies a lot of people forget about the good plays that they made too Even Calamity now Calamity fourth and completion. I remember but anyway So it wasn't like they were all bad and again, they were rookies their rookies So the things will get better over time. So I'm changing my answer. I'm gonna go with a past Russia Made it The team keep it clean welcome to another episode of questions from subs and we always talk about how timing is everything I'm recording this on Friday, September 23rd. It's 11 10 a.m And it just came out that Jason Pierre Paul who was recently signed by the Ravens will sign It won't be official until Monday. So He will not be playing in this Patriots game. So anyway That's that next question came from my guy droid 209. He said uncle Graven my man He called me uncle made me sound old even though I am old but anyway Hope the family is all gravy and all healthy. Oh, yeah, everything is great. Let's just pretend real quick You are the Ravens defensive coordinator. Oh me me And Madden I'll be running a lot of blitzes, but see you know what real quick I was playing Madden last night Madden 23 or 22, whatever Madden we on I was playing the last night And I was going against the Browns. It's late in the week So it's crazy because Madden actually the first time I faced the Browns It was going to present but then a second time place to play the Browns It was the Sean Watson. So do they have like suspensions in the game is Madden getting realistic like that? Anyway, I don't know but I was playing to Sean Watson and usually every single week Every quarterback I go against normally just I'm blitzing like crazy blitzing like crazy and it works We lead the league in sex we lead the league in interceptions, but it's just in a video game I also signed Adamic ensue. I think somebody else too, but on offense. Well, that's not a bunch of receivers But anyway Because I signed over there back on junior. I signed will Fuller I said I signed Marquis going cuz I just I needed some speed But that's beside the point defense we get a lot of sex lot of pics But I blitz all the time. I'm always blitzing every passing down. I'm always blitzing well like nine times out of ten But with the Browns with the Sean Watson, it was not working. It just was not working. I wasn't getting sex We were forced some turnovers every now and then but I just was not working the blitz wasn't working like that So what did I do? I made adjustments. I made adjustments and I stopped blitzing as much I dialed it back a little bit and We had success against the pass. He still threw a couple picks. He ended up winning the game I think he won by like 10 or maybe 14. No, it's 14. It's a really good game. It was close But then uh, yeah, we made the proper adjustments and close it out So anyway, just give me a little bit of my my defensive background and whatnot Check the resume. Anyway, he said how would you coordinate the fourth quarter? Uh, I mean the fourth quarter of the uh, the Dolphins game that we just watched Oh, I mean, we make an adjustment even before the fourth quarter Um, I'm it's a safety up top over time over every time over Jaylen Waddell Tyree kill I'm playing that super safe because I know about both of them dudes I know about both of them dudes. I'm having my my cornerbacks try to press them Especially like on third downs I'm trying I'm having my cornerbacks try to press them Not every down because I don't need y'all getting gas like that, especially if y'all not even healthy But Yeah, y'all y'all gonna be pressing them especially on third down But then if if malin Humphrey was out of margith Peters was out I a safety's y'all playing deep because I ain't having my young boys get beat like that straight up Anyway, uh, he said also a great move for jason pa pa. Do you also think we have some needs for positions? All right If so, what are they and who would you try and get thank you again? Uncle graven keep it clean my brother appreciate it. Um Needs for positions I think really the biggest need for ravens positions is health Is health because like, um left tackle ronnie stett health Uh at the running back position you could get better health jackie dobbins gust Edwards. Um Who else uh tight end to get even healthier and helping to run game two nick boyle health Um cornerback second day. I mean we saw last week malin Humphrey margith Peters health We want to up the pass rush. They just signed jpp but bowels in a job health So you get my point next question came from t-dog x says could tay-tay come home No, but anyway, let's see the question. He said what's up in graven? I think it has been sometimes since I submitted a question. Oh, yeah, it's been a really long time But it's all good But here we go. So in light of the signing of jpp I was interested as to where he would fit in on defense. So what did I do went to madden l o c. Hey, hey I was just talking about that Anyway, he said I saw he was not yet on the team. So I looked at the free agency list and who did I see on there Tayvon young. So this made me wonder could the ravens bring tay-tay back He is from be more and played uh and has played When healthy, uh too bad he has played well When healthy too bad. He's not always healthy The ravens seem to need a slot corner and that is where young is at best I know it's a gamble, but I think he'll be the perfect pick up because we could get him cheap You sound like air the custer Just wanted to shoot this random thought by you to see what you think. Thanks for what you do appreciate it um, no, he's on the Bears Yeah, he's on the bears. I think they put him on injured reserve though But yeah, he's in chicago. So you're not even a free agent next question came from kogan He said Kenny golliday and he put the little eyes emoji. Anyway, he said what's up, and I appreciate your content and analyst style I feel like you read my mind most of the time when you take oh man So you crazy, too I thought it was just me solo But anyway, you said so I might be the minority or at least was until they started having a chance to show Out this season But I have a lot of confidence in our receiving corpse with that said as history has shown us And I know you've mentioned a few times that a team could never have too much depth never ever ever We lose baitman andrews or even duvin a and things could tailspin quickly I wonder if this would be a good chance for us to go out and make a trade For golliday with us forcing the giants to eat some of that salary, of course Yeah, they would have to eat a lot of it. Um I feel like if ravens if they wanted to get golliday because I I don't know when the earliest the giants can really cut him um And not have to like deal with so much of the salary cap mess um, but if they I will say if The ravens especially from what we heard about him with reports and stuff Would it even be worth it for him? If he's if he if it's that rough for him over with the giants Uh, if ravens were to trade for him Like giants would have to get I say giants take like 90% of it at least And ravens give up like maybe like a fifth or sixth or seventh round pick something like that like I don't know man. I um Hmm That's He wouldn't be very high my little if they were to trade for uh, see this this is where because I know a lot of people are like Hypo on Darius Layton This is where I would actually prefer if they were to trade for somebody I would rather be him than than Kenny golliday Um, just with everything considered. But anyway, he said I think he would not only be a solid depth But a great weapon for us. Who knows might even show the mother organization is all in on him in every possible facet And they should have been showed that uh, he won't admit it At least not until a memoir in about 20 years because he's far too professional But we all know he sees all these other teams going out and loading up around their qbs I also understand that at this moment our eyes should be focused solely on building our edge rushers Which we desperately need but I know how hard it can be for gm And especially edc to pass up on an opportunity when the stock is down on a player Of golliday skill set when available See his stock may be down, but his price is still way up So I don't even think the rabies would even be looking at no golliday If he was like a free agent They didn't have to give up anything and they could come up with his contract Then I think there will be a possibility But the fact that he got this crazy large contract and it's been crazy low production I don't even think they look as well. He said anyways, I appreciate the time you take out of your days to give the flocks some solid content Let your family know we appreciate the time away Uh from from you they sacrifice for you to do something you love. Oh, I assume you love We we do we do enjoy uh What we do I I appreciate that uh and connecting all of us and making your mark on the ravens family I appreciate this kogan. This was a fun one. Appreciate you next question came from markets He said should the ravens bring back lj for it? You know what? I'm like surprised because they they apparently were talking to blake martinez. They um They obviously brought back josh bines. They tried to get uh bobby wagner Um, so they obviously got questions. They lost josh ross They they signed the linebacker from the jets. They signed brandon copeland So they signed all these linebackers not all of them are inside linebackers some are but and they went for all these linebackers, but uh What's up with lj for it? Like you know him you you got the you definitely got the insight on his medical history and whatnot, but uh So I don't know. Anyway, he said um a engraving this marcus. I hope you and the family are doing well Obviously, we are very thin at the passers-by position and I was thinking should the ravens bring back lj for it I'm not necessarily saying that he should immediately start But somebody who can be a rotational player and can provide quality depth What are your thoughts and hashtag team keeping clean? Appreciate it marcus So, yeah, it's that that is a really good question and I just I wonder why maybe it's something that we don't know about Uh, I don't know because I just haven't heard anything about them at all And again with like you mentioned with the ravens having these needs at at the linebacker position You would think like, okay, they're just running back with fort again, but it just it hasn't been anything Next question came from my guy. Caleb. Oh, and this is more like More like a comment. He said ain't great But I'm going to my first NFL game this sunday ravens vs. Patriots and will you better not lose lol Also any updates on jk dobbins? No, he's practicing the same old stuff. So but yeah, ravens better not lose You don't you don't want to go to one and two not not for Caleb's first game Next question came from my guy joseph. He said hey, they team keeping clean really appreciate the content No, I appreciate you listening to it. He said I have been listening to you for a year now and appreciate your insight Also love how you literally keep it clean and I can have you on while my kids are around We family friendly over here, baby. So everybody is welcome. You say anyways, my question is about john hardball Let's say the ravens do not do as well this year and the ravens end up firing him Whoo, that would be something that I don't even think would happen in a million years, but Let's just for the sake of the conversation. Let's see Do you think we should pursue sean paying? He recently said he will return next year if the right situation comes along And yeah, we know what he meant by that. I mean, it's pretty straightforward though But that means he just wants to be a coach again. He wants to be a coach again He wants an opportunity again. He wants to start fresh. He like them saints. I love the saints things for everything But I'm ready to go in a different direction um I would not mind at all See the the thing I think the thing I think about with that is like with sean paying. We know this dude offensive genius um, and he I feel like he would really Maximize lamar jackson as a quarterback Just because of the way that he operates the way that his offenses operate In the way that he does a good job of really bringing the most out of his quarterbacks um But would lamar jackson even be here? That would be a big question. Oh, but then if you got a sean paying to whoever your quarterback is whatever your situation is Uh, you got to feel like he would he would get the most out of whoever it may be I mean, you obviously would hope that it would be lamar jackson for sure But we just don't know right now But as far as just coaching overall. Yeah, I would not mind sean paying at all and last question on this episode came from My god be blake senior. He said hey my boy. So happy to finally be a part of team keep it clean as you're reading this How's your day going? Oh my day is going pretty good. It's going pretty good. The time is 11 23 Um feeling good not sure what we're gonna get into today. Um, I don't know but today would be a nice day to take like a little adventure sometimes, um I just like uh with with the family my wife and my son Start with just like just doing random stuff going to random places something like that Just seeing random stuff and just just having fun getting out the house because it's it's always a good timing um, it's always nice to uh To sometimes we do some of the same stuff like go to park or something go to Uh, we might go to arcade go watch a movie or something like that. Go ever go to a mall Um, go go get something to eat That's that's one of the top ones right there going out to eat and that's man It could be such a problem too because you can have food at the crib But then you start thinking about your favorite restaurants and you're thinking about good it is and then You know, um, but anyway, that's that so we'll see I appreciate it though I said I just watched your last vlog video on youtube about writing our wrongs and moving forward And my thing is I'm always looking forward and there's so much to say But everyone is all over the place about these little hiccups Yeah Hey, that's how it is and that's how it is after after a win everybody like oh, yeah We good. We got this. We got that. Yeah, we straight after losses Everybody goes crazy. So it it happened. He said but you said it, right? Let's get past buffalo before we really start to panic and also yes fans are not dumb We do know our teams more than these uh analysts gurus and he put that in quotation Another member mentioned and ravens are the most talked about throughout the nfl I'm sick of the bashing. So I look forward to every game we play whether we win by a point or blow out We're gonna leave it on the field and get better Oh, well, he certainly left some plays on the field on this past sunday Um, good. Anyway, he said I do hope lamar and the ravens come together with some deal because I can deal with huntley But not as qb1 Let me just keep reading And I don't see anyone else in the backfield as a better quarterback for the ravens than lamar Or flacco no questions. Just a rant keep doing your thing. I will have a few questions after this interesting Patriots matchup. Oh appreciate that man. Yeah, uh, hopefully we have more answers than questions Oh, but yeah, like I talked about I I know a lot of people have been freaking out, which is understandable. It's fine, but Again ravens haven't even I I established their identity yet It seems as if okay. Oh ravens. They about to be a passing team, which I don't mind at all Yeah, I know it Um, but they they still looking for the running game too, which they need to look for because they they need to hopefully find it um, so whether it's uh The offensive line a matter of them just blocking better Whether it's a matter of jk dobbins returning or this matter justice He'll get more opportunity And making the most of that opportunities. It's important to um when you do get your opportunity to to be efficient with it Um, so it's it's a mix of mix. Ah, it's a mix of things that they need to put all together to make this thing right Ain't that right engraving right engraving Shout out engraving
