This is an extremely special week so y'all just y'all just be on the lookout man stuff is like Stuff is moving man, and I'm just I'm just grateful. I'm grateful for all of y'all For being who y'all are I'm grateful for all of y'all for just continuing to Support the channel like y'all have been so thank you so much for that. I appreciate it a lot and Stuff about to take a little turn a little turn, but it's gonna be a real fun week, but anyway Yesterday Timing is everything. It's absolutely everything as we always know and talk about Yesterday we put out the video yesterday morning Talking about a what the Ravens they gotta make a decision like they have to make a decision on Patrick Queen ASAP because the deadline was was coming up like literally coming up. It was today was and They we hadn't heard anything We had not heard anything And whenever Eric the constant spoke about Patrick Queen in the fifth-year option He was very mum on things He would not give us a direct answer and even if he would have given us a direct answer Seeing would be believing because they hadn't done anything because if I take you back to last year with Hollywood Hollywood is the question start coming up. Hey, you gonna pick up Hollywood's fifth-year option He said yeah, we anticipate picking up Hollywood's fifth-year option And then they traded So you just again they could they could say whatever they want But really it's the actions that tell the real part of the story But they declined it they officially declined Patrick Queen's fifth-year option So what that means is that and I don't think it really came as a shock to anybody I don't think anybody was like, oh man, it's so surprising. I can't believe that this happened I don't think anybody was like that Because again Ravens fans are a very smart Ravens fans Understand the business they get it. They're like Aaron Ravens They just traded for Roquan Smith last year then this offseason Ravens Drafted a linebacker with their second pick an inside linebacker that got the explosiveness and that got the burst I got some speed that looks like he can make some plays We'll see on the NFL level, but I would anticipate that he he can he does well, so we hope that he does So a lot of Ravens fans kind of saw the writing on the wall at least for the future But what does this mean? I know we briefly went over some of the different options yesterday if the Ravens were to accept or If they were to pick up or decline the fifth-year option for Patrick Queen So now that we got clarification on that What happens next what happens now? Well the draft is passed the draft is over. I mean trades can still happen, but I don't know man I don't know y'all know how like adamant I was and I felt like Patrick Queen was definitely Getting traded and he really that he wasn't gonna be with the Ravens for the long haul I still think he won't be for the Ravens for the long haul, but as far as being traded. I don't know man I don't know it Unless you're gonna get like unless you're gonna do a like a player for player trade something like that Yeah, or unless somebody could give you a deal that like blows you out of the water or something like that maybe Just maybe which I would love. I know I would love Maybe he stays Maybe Patrick Queen stays another yeah, but I still got my doubts, but if he could stay another year And this is obviously will be his last year with the team. I would love that not that I wouldn't love that It was his last year with the team I would love if he could stay with the team this year and do his thing and go get paid go get your bread Go get your money Because that's what I mean just that's what we hope for these players. They go get their bread We know the NFL stands for not for long Patrick Queen super young super young so He got plenty of football ahead of him. He does not have Injury issues anything like that. He's been really healthy throughout his career And he's on the upside man. He's on the upside. So I would I would love if Maybe they they take the approach like they took last season at the safety position But they take it with the linebackers because last year we signed Marcus Williams We still had Chuck Clark. We had Geno stone for a little bit. They had Tony Jefferson, too But they had a plethora of safeties. I had plenty of safeties they still drafted Kyle Hamilton and When they drafted Kyle Hamilton first round pick two What was it wasn't he picked 14? I think just like his number but anyway, they drafted Kyle they drafted Kyle Hamilton and Remember, I was thing. Oh, they'd like that's a lot of safeties. We didn't do it on them safeties But they found a place for them. They found a role for them and it went well. It went really good as The season went along. He just got better and better and better and better and better And he's doing this thing So now maybe just maybe hopefully The Ravens can do that With the the linebacker with Simpson, I believe I gotta I gotta get these rookie names down because I'm I'm Struggling with them right now because it's been just so much going on still But with the rookie linebacker, they drafted in the third round Maybe this the same can be applied because we got Roquan Smith. We got Patrick Queen for now still We still got Malik Harrison. You got Christian Welch. You got Josh Harris So you you have some linebackers already, but you just drafted and inside linebacker. So one could think man We even got a lot of linebackers which they do But maybe the same rules can apply with how it happened to Hamilton last year Because I mean with with this being Patrick Queen officially now. This is his last year of his contract I Would expect it to be sort of a Chuck Clark approach now if he does stay which hopefully he does stay this year Hopefully he does To where he can come do his thing, but they they start finding a role for the rookie too and The way that they did that with Kyle Hamilton They didn't force him to be the drop-back safety. Chuck Clark was handling that for the most part Chuck Clark was stealing the box and stuff too, but um with Kyle Hamilton it allowed him to ease in ease into the NFL and Not saying that it's like this for every single player prospect or whatever because different things happen But I think in a lot of cases when you can ease somebody into the NFL ease a player Into the NFL instead of being like all right come through. It's all on you. I Think in the long term and again every case by case basis But I think that's a great way of ushering them in helping them in and allowing them to get more comfortable and That way while they're still working on themselves. Why they're still adjusting to life in the NFL It's not like everything's on them all the pressures on them. If you can alleviate pressure from somebody Why not? Why not? If you can make their job easier, especially for a rookie, especially a young rookie coming in there's a big That's a big step. That's a huge transition So maybe just maybe That can be what happens Because I would love it I would really really love that because like we talked about yesterday like the the depth the insane depth that that would be at linebacker and Just thinking of what Mike McDonald Just thinking about how because Patrick Queen, you know Patrick Queen one thing about him excellent Blitzer Excellent Blitzer because he's explosive But just imagine if you could find ways to to use a different linebackers different packages and whatnot And maybe you know some packages with all three on the field at the same time I think it will be rare, but it could happen But just to have those options Because when you have more options, you can be more creative. It allows you to be even more flexible and with Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen those guys got the experience They got the NFL experience. So this will be another NFL year under their belts under both of their belts But now you got the rookie coming in And this will be his first year. So he can learn from both of those guys He can watch both of those guys and he can be alongside both of those guys That could help him so much Help make this transition just so much smoother and it's so much easier So again My stance on one and Patrick Queen to stay never changed um, but now My thoughts on the possibility of it happening They are They are Just this year next year. I don't think he'll be here um And again, I mean he could still be traded this year, but next year for sure. I don't think he'll be here um And but this is uh, if he does stay and this is how it goes. This is how it ends This would be how I wanted it to um to where They ride out the rookie contract and don't trade him before Because that again, that would be my preference because again, y'all y'all know me I'd be wondering if it was to keep these players playing and then ride out the rookie contracts But Eric the cost would be telling me no, he'd be like no, I ain't doing that I'm trading them so I can get something now for them rather than later I ain't letting their rookie contracts run out So Patrick Queen Again, I don't think that he's a part of the Ravens future. I don't think Eric the cost of views him like that So of course he could still be traded any day now. He could be traded anytime um But I was just talking to uh, my god night show about it yesterday and I was saying I uh, I do appreciate and I respect How Patrick Queen has handled himself throughout this process is at least via social media because He has shown and again, it's just been a few tweets in the re-tweet too, but He has I appreciate him Being willing to acknowledge what's going on And not and it doesn't it doesn't seem like he's in denial um And again, there's a few tweets that I could be looking too much into it because of course when they drafted The rookie in the third round He tweeted sheesh And I mean you could take a lot of different things from that But what I took from and just like oh, yeah, that's the business right there Oh He just the inside line back and they got me sitting here. Oh man. Wow But then um, when it was officially announced yesterday that the ravens weren't picking up his fifth year option um, he retweeted it He retweeted it Obviously, he knows that everybody knows he knows everybody got that notification too. Look for him to to retweet it. I was like, okay Okay So that's him letting all his followers know showing all his followers like hey It didn't get picked up What you gonna do now? So Hmm, let's see what happens now, man. We'll see what happens And I like I said, I hope it's a chuck clock approach this year because remember they they try to trade chuck clock last year They really they wanted to trade chuck clock last year. There was no takers Now for patrick queen, I definitely think there would definitely be takers for sure But what would the compensation be? What what would they offer the ravens for a patrick queen if they were interested But again, hopefully it ends up being like chuck clock to where they end up staying one more year so the costa it's It's okay to just get the comp pick in two years Don't don't don't don't worry about getting compensation now for patrick queen. Just let him stay Just let him stay let him stay and ball out this year do his thing And then he'll go get some bread next year from who? Ooh, that'll be something right there But we do wish him well whatever happens with patrick queen Or we do hope that uh, he does really really really good However, he ends up um this year next year and and beyond so shout out to pq, man um, but I love y'all to keep it clean again Subscribe please subscribe and turn your notifications on So I just don't want nobody missing anything Uh, because I ain't I ain't gonna feel bad if you miss it because Again, that's on you.
