 First question on this episode came from my guy BB said, do you think the Ravens have truly changed their philosophy by building the offense? In order for Ravens to succeed, they will need to operate on the old philosophy as well. Running the ball and playing good defense has been the common goal for years. Will hardball really give Monk in the rain and allow this offense to demonstrate its full potential? Ravens have been stuck in the Aussie main mind frame since 96. Will Ravens finally catch up to the already evolved league and be successful? We saw what Lamar did in Louisville and in 2019, Ravens got to unleash this monster eight that has been limited by bad leadership and stale philosophy. Team keep it clean. We're gonna get ready to talk about this right now. But before we do, let's hear a word from our sponsor. One of the most painful things to see on the football field every Sunday is a blindside hit. And that's because with blindside hits, you don't see them coming. They're painful, they're inconvenient and they hit you out of nowhere. You ain't got no way to prepare for it. And the same can unfortunately be said about a car accident. But when football players get whacked, they know exactly who to call. When us regular people get into accidents, sometimes we just don't. And then just a simple thought of the process of hiring a lawyer, it seems super stressful and it can bring a lot of anxiety. But with Morgan and Morgan, they make it easy. What Morgan and Morgan have done is modernize the injury law process. So you can actually submit a claim and have it looked at by a lawyer without even leaving the couch. If you need to sign documents, send any pictures, share any medical records or doctor bills, you can do all of that from your phone. And for those of you like myself who don't feel like being on the phone all day, you can even text message the case manager or the attorney without ever having them to go into an office. If you're ever injured in an accident, hiring an attorney is one of the first things that you should do. And with Morgan and Morgan, submitting a claim is super easy. More than three million people have trusted Morgan and Morgan when they've been in an accident. So if you're ever in an accident, hopefully you won't be, but if it does happen, you can check out Morgan and Morgan. You can submit a claim in eight clicks or less. And you can have America's largest injury law firm fighting for you. You can get started at ForThePeople.com or dial PoundLaw and that's pound 529 from your cell phone. So first question, we starting off with a bang from my guy, BB. Maybe the BB stands for bang, bang. But anyway, have the Ravens truly changed their philosophy by building the offense? Well, it's really seeming like they have. Just if we think about this offseason alone, how they really addressed it because it was looking like they were still gonna be the Ravens of old when they just signed Nelson Aguilos. I was thinking, hmm, okay, it's a start, and but maybe it may be a finish because the Ravens, especially at the position, especially at why I receive a sticker. Oh yeah, they don't make like major moves there. That's not them. That's not their style. That's not their philosophy. But then, then weeks later, they ended up signing Odell Beckham Jr. And they not only signed Odell Beckham Jr., but they signed him to a significant deal for some significant money, especially the fact that he had just missed the entire previous season and they still signed him to that money. They really put a lot of trust and a lot of faith in Odell Beckham Jr. And then on top of that, they went and drafted Zay Flowers. I was like, oh my, wow, they really going in. Then they mess around to sign Laquan Treadwell too. It's like Ravens, whoa, all these first round pig wires, okay now. Let's see, and you still got Rashal Bateman coming back, they kept him. Got a little worried, I was a little concerned sometimes, oh, are they gonna trade Rashal Bateman, hopefully not, cause I want everybody. And they still got Mark Andrews and company in. So yeah, the Ravens on paper, the way that they've been moving, the way that they've constructed the roster, it does seem like the philosophy may be changing. And he continued to say, for them to succeed, they'll need to operate on the old philosophy as well. Running the ball and playing good defense has been the common goal for years. So yeah, running games shouldn't go anywhere. I think it'll be different. I think more emphasis would be placed on a passing game, just really bringing it out of the Ravens, cause it just hasn't been brought out consistently from the Baltimore Ravens. But this year, I would expect them to do a lot more passing. And a lot more, just not even just more passing in volume, but more creative passing. Getting guys involved in different ways and just really opening up and using that entire field from sideline to sideline. Not having everybody bunched up in one spot, anything like that. But that's the expectation. And he said, we'll hardball really give Monk in the reins and allow this offense to demonstrate his full potential. That part is all, I mean, really everything with the offense is to be determined. We won't know till we know. We have our expectations. I got my expectations for sure, but we won't know till we know. Won't know till we see. So first preseason game, we'll get a little tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny glimpse. The second preseason game, third preseason game, oh, then it's only three preseason games. And then that's it. Then we get a little break and then it's regular season and then we're all eyes will be glued to see what this offense really does. Explain the hype. Next question came from my guy, Oreo Cookie. He said, I ain't great with things for saying that you weren't complaining about all the questions I was sending. I struggle with self-esteem issues and self-worth issues. So thanks for that. No, man, that's why I send them, man. Send them. If you got a question, send it. They just call a question from so long. I ain't say, oh, it's limited question from so long. Oh, you can only send one per mother. Nah, man. Send if you got them. Send them. I see it all the time. People will be, they'll send stuff in two in the morning, three in the morning sometimes. If it's on your mind, send it. I ain't gonna be reading it in two or three in the morning, but if it's on your mind, send it. This series is for Team Keep It Clean. It's for all of us, man, because it just is important for me that as a fan of the team, that we try to give other fans of the same team, even of other teams too, but give fans a voice to let their opinions be heard, let their different topics that they got going on and it might be heard because sometimes you realize how small of a world it is, but how other people are like, oh, you know what? I was thinking that same thing too. Oh man, that's crazy. I was just thinking about the same thing. So, and it's all conversation, man. We just all having conversation and just trying to have fun with it too, but I appreciate you, man. Anyway, you see, but my question to you is, can you help explain the hype to me about Zay Flows? Because I don't watch college football, so I really don't know. To me, it just seems like he played at a small school at NFL Talent, but my struggle, please help me out. Peace. Now, he sent this on July 26th. The day today that I'm recording this, it's August 2nd. Everything that, even if you didn't watch a lick of college football, y'all know I don't watch college football, so I ain't watch Zay Flows. Only once the Ravens drafted him, then I watched film on him and I was like, okay, that's what he can do. That's what I like. Okay, boom. But even if you take that out and you just go buy everything, not from Minicamp, because at Minicamp, they said he was looking really good. I'm like, okay, it's Minicamp. They ain't even got pads on the, whatever. Training camp, you have heard nothing but great things about Zay Flows. Against veteran cornerbacks, against younger cornerbacks, against everybody in between. They have just nothing but great reports about Zay Flows. So he's, if the reports hold true and he just continues this and gets his opportunity too, I would just be looking out for a very explosive player. You can never have enough of those. But an explosive player, a player if Lamar and him, they get that chemistry going early, ooh. It can be nasty. And the way he compliments the old L. Beckham June, the way he compliments Zay Rashad Bateman, the way he compliments Mark Andrews, and the way he can open that up, open the field up for all of them. Make life easier for all of them. That's what you should be hyped for. Your opinion? I don't know if you want my opinion. I don't know, let's see. But anyway, the next question came from my guy, George. He said, Ponder this engraving. I know your feelings on not wanting to trade PQ for Chase Young from prior videos. What are your thoughts on trading PQ to the Dallas Cowboys for Zach Martin? He hasn't showed up for camp and wants a new contract. I think this will be an awesome trade to bring back offensive line dominance in a division and other talk, that Greeny and other talking heads are claiming to be the strongest in the AFC. Try to keep this one short and sweet. Keep up the positive reports. Appreciate that, GK. Wow, that's, ooh, wow, that's a, ooh, that's a tricky one right there, because Zach Martin is Zach Martin, and like, I know Ravens have been saying, oh, John Simpson, they've been saying, ah, the sixth round rookie, I forget his name. And I know if even if I remember that, I'd probably mess it up for that left guard spot because it's open right now. I think they'll end up going with a veteran. Will it be on the level of a Zach Martin? You don't know about that part, but who PQ for Zach Martin, wow. Upgrading the offensive line tremendously, like that's Lamar Jackson, that's J.K. Well, maybe J.K. Dunn, but that's J.K. Dunn, that's all the wide receiver, that's the tight end, that's the offense. That will make their lives easier. Oh man. Oh, man, he's one of the best, wow. But for PQ, that would be one that I would consider, I would have no choice but to think about it, because it's about the given to take. Do you upgrade your offensive line in a tremendous way? You do lose something on defense now, you lose somebody, you lose somebody, open up a little playmaker on defense now. But upgrade the offensive line in a major way. I guess then you would have to throw Trent Simpson in that role at that point, at the PQ role. Man, I just, I wanna keep PQ, I really do. But that's, yeah, upgrading the offensive line and having somebody that you know come in and boom, they gonna get it done, that's a hard sale right there, man, well, I mean, that's not even a hard sale, but that's just a, it makes it so tough to say no, because it's Zach Martin, it ain't just anybody, it ain't just no random guard or nothing like that. It's Zach Martin, so yeah, if I had to, like my god, BZ said, think like a GM, then I would definitely have to consider it. Expression came from my god, Manuel, he said, oh, I ain't great, even after hearing today's presser, I think a question that was undervalued by the staff, but it is important, is the durability of man Drew. Sure, amongst offenses, wide receivers in it, but it actually helps Mark not getting hit a lot of, a lot on those third or even fourth downs where the drive needs to continue and certainly allows him to rest. That's a really good point. It's a very, very good point because the previous offense, we love Mark Andrews, we know he could play, we know he could ball, but he got used a lot and he got tired, he got tired, exhausted, but really good point. Anyway, he says, we have to remember that in the last two years, he's been hurt and it's because G-Roll's offense on the passing plays was, all right, Mark Andrews down there somewhere and he would catch the ball but get hit hard. This also speaks that Lamar will get hit less in the pocket because he won't have to wait for our wide receiver to get open since they have been, since they have been schemed open from the start. That's true. He'll be able to have more options, have more guys open hopefully, so he can get that ball out quicker and just, it'll just help the flow of everything that much more. He said, now that we have primetime wide receivers and an OC that knows how to use them, we can pass the ball even better on paper, but I can't wait to see it in action. Theory can get you so far, but execution to the max is even better with a win. That's true. Same thing we were saying earlier. Everything on paper looks good and we got our own expectations, but we got to see it. He said, P.S., I predict a 14 and three record if health is of no concern. 14 and three, I could actually see that. Now, last questions on this episode came from my boy, Flirt Nowinsky. He said, what's good, bro? Hope all is well with you and yours. I got a hot take. Everyone is talking about how it's a big year for Lamar. Odell, the ends, the old line, J.K., et cetera. But in all actuality, I believe this is the biggest year for Harbs. Ooh, in his career, okay. Wait a minute, man. All right. Initially, when you say it out loud, it sounds like a hot take, but then when you think about it, it's really not. But let's keep going. He says, I say this because you know he brought in his boy, McDonald. You know I'm not a fan. He lost us plenty of games, LOL. But if the defense doesn't tighten up, strike one. Jiro gone. We got Todd Monk and he wants to change our history since we have always been a run first team, which isn't bad. But if this goes bad, that strike two. And possibly three also, because due to the change of the offense, those that contributed before will no longer be affected and those that haven't contributed before have to be affected. I think it's not so black and white like that. It all just depends on the player and the position and whatnot. But anyway, he said, Hollywood 2.0, that can catch so far. Also, no knock to bro. He's always fan, but it's facts, LOL. I ain't like that one. I ain't appreciate that one. Anyway, he said, hasn't played in two years with no knees. Beckham, Rashad Bateman coming off of an injury. Nelson, I can't catch a wide open pass. Aguilar, hold up now, he been balling so far. Hey, again, we gonna see him with regular season starts, but he been doing his thing so far. And that, hey, I know it's just training camp, but he got to start somewhere, right? Anyway, he said, all have to be huge factors. Just looking at the tape from Monk in college days. This is the way it gets sketchy. You know our two best pass catchers? Yeah, Andrew's unlikely. Yeah, just by tape, their role will be decreased. Oh yeah. And the power run game is like option five. We see how that works out for the Chargers and Pills. So I feel like this transition has to be flawless for Hobbs, not to get fired. What do you think? Oh, that's powerful right there. It doesn't have to be flawless. I really think for Hobb all, and he made a little joke about it. I think it was this off season. Well, he talked about, he don't know how much more years he gonna be coaching. I don't know how much longer he gonna be coaching. So, but I don't think Hobbs, I think Hobbs is gonna go out on his own terms from the Baltimore Ravens. I just, I don't see him being fired at all. And with health, I think that this team will have plenty of success. So he won't even have to worry about being fired. But for Hobbs to get fired, like he would have to really be like just trying to lose and be doing a lot of losing too. And it would just have to be so astronomically bad for him to be voted. And it ain't gonna happen, man. Well, I don't think it's gonna happen. But anyway, he said, because regardless of which side of the fence you're on about G-Roy or Munkin, they are going to compare G-Roy's first year to Munkin's first year. Well, of course, for sure. And due to the media, if they aren't significantly better than Hobbs, might be gone. No, I don't think so. He said, this team is way better. So it should be easy, right? And just like Bateman was for a hot second, but now he's back. I'm out. It shouldn't be easy. It, easy, I don't know about easy, but we do, the talent is better in my opinion. And there's more variety. There's more depth, there's quality depth. So that does help a lot. Another one of his questions, he said, another hot take by halfway through the season. Cornerback one will be, oh, okay. Oh, you scared me at first. So it's like, what? He said, cornerback one will be rock your scene. Cornerback two will be Jaylen Alma Davis and in the slot, it'll be Marlon Humphrey. Just me personally, Hump's best times to me have been at slot corner. I believe they will revisit that this season. We gon' see. We gon' see. He sent this, today on Recordedness, rock your scene went down with injury. Halb said it's nothing serious, but I mean, I'm sure by the, yeah, definitely by the time y'all see this video, we will have had the update on whatever that injury is. And hopefully it ain't nothing serious, but we'll see. Just me personally, Hump's, oh yeah, I read that already. Especially because of Jabbo in a way will be getting crazy pressure off the edge. He said he's speaking into existence. You're seeing the solid. Jaylen Alma Davis has size and speed, but with good pressure, the first look is the check down, then the slot. That's where Hump comes into play. He will lock down the slot. Boom, we are elite. Even though as you know, I don't like McDonald, he can redeem himself this season. What do you think? And like Marlon was for lying, I'm out. Okay. And then they brought him back though. They did bring him back. So he's back, back with the Ravens once again. As far as that lineup with the cornerbacks, I mean, hey, anything is possible. And you did mention Marlon in the slot. So first, when I first saw it, and I saw cornerback, one rocket scene, and cornerback two, Jaylen Alma Davis, I was like, whoa, what you talking about? But then you say Marlon in the slot. I don't think they'll make it a full-time thing for him. Jaylen Alma Davis, the report's been bad about him recently. We'll see how it does for the rest of the training camp. But I think they could mix in Marlon here and there. They could move him around and whatnot. But I think they're still gonna have him primarily as an outside guy. I don't show he'll be in a slot some, but I just, yeah, I think they'll have him primarily outside guy. I don't think they'll put him in there as no permanent position for the year.
