I love y'all team keep it clean I want to waste no more time. Let's just jump straight into it first question came from my guy Ken patchy He said you ain't graven can patchy here. I just want to give you a true hypothetical to kind of get a break From reiterating all the losses and obstacles the Ravens have and have had to deal with this year So he's tired of the Ravens right now. He don't want to hear nothing about the Ravens He don't want to talk about the Ravens. He just tie and I don't blame you But anyway, he said my question is do you think John Hobbler could break the Detroit curse? I'm a Ravens fan through and through but I can't help upon of these type of scenarios Thanks for being my number one source of all things Raven So could John Hobbler break the Detroit curse and all what does that mean like get Detroit to what a winning record have them as a winning team? That would depend on the weapons that John Hobbler He could sure make them fight like fight hard and and and give it their all But could he break it so to speak? It would just it would literally depend on everything around him It would depend on everything around him and it would take that much more For him to really be successful with the Lions because we know like it's it's been a big yikes over there for a long Like I feel bad for Lions fans man. They like man. They just been going through it for the longest man for the longest Um, so I don't know next question came from my guy Connor He said good morning. How are you and this season has been up and down but this offseason What do you think the Ravens will focus on? I personally think that Cuz Lamar got hurt offensive line is the number one priority So the Ravens focus going into this offseason Obviously to get healthy, but yeah, it has to be offensive line. It has to be yeah You got some guys departing on a defense, which is very important You got to replace them But offense and on offense you pretty much as long as some guys get back healthy You're pretty much set as far as weapons and stuff, of course, you could add another tight end You could add a Offensive line man for real. That's yeah, so I I agree I think it would that it would be that it would have to be that because you need to protect your franchise Quarterback you need to make sure there's a unit around him and it's like ain't nobody getting through I don't care And as far as what they need to do to protect him if Bradley Bozeman comes back great if he doesn't okay Tristan Cologne-Casteel will be my vote for for center But as far as the other offensive lineman Kevin Zyler, he'll be back Ronnie Stanley You hope that he'll be back 100% Anything from Joanne James is a bonus, but they need to get nasty up front They need to get mad. They need to get some offensive linemen that are nasty That are just hardcore that are just not nice You like you need to get some guys that is just rough man Because I feel like this offensive line. They just they're too nice They too nice like and they got to get guys that are gonna protect them all like some Ryan Jensen types Remember when Flacco got popped by Kiko Alonzo. Who was the only person that came to Flacco defense? It was his center. That was it. It was it his center So you need to get nasty on the offensive line So yes, I would agree with you that number one priority next season should be Balking up that offensive line and really trying to build that bully that they talked about so long ago Next question came from Ravens flock not from everybody, but his name is Ravens flock. Anyway, he said what's good in gravy We need a new offensive coordinator from the top officers in the league like a QB coach who learned from Reed McVeigh or something I remember when people tried to tell me we need to get rid of Lamar Jackson because we had all these close losses and moral victories without him I'll take an ugly win with LJ any day than a close loss Yes, for sure Chiefs, I know Eric B and me ain't coming here. We know that there's not happening, but they are they QB coach Y'all busy doing something right over there with Patrick Mahomes in them and even when Patrick Mahomes was out They were still making some stuff happen So the QB coach from over there. Is it Kafka? I don't remember who it is But anyway, whoever it is he I wouldn't mind that but I just don't think Ravens would do that I think they would uh, if they moved on from Greg Roman, which I don't expect him to at all I think they will go in the direction of James Urban I know T-Martin is somebody that a lot of us have spoken about and a lot of us would love because he's he's some new blood on This Ravens team and it feels like they just need an injection of life on this offense But I don't think that they would even look in his direction He may get like a new title or something like that But I think they will go to James Urban before they went to him. Next question came from my guy Desmond He said what's up in Raven? Let me first shout out the whole team keep it clean and Ravens players who stepped up during this Rough season now that I got that out the way This is right after the game so I may have angry fingers, but But we need major changes to the sideline I could easily say fire G-Roll, but what would that change? exactly Hardball is great is a great coach, but the hood hardball effect will hurt us He does nothing but hire a washed up coach My opinion hire Eric B enemy and give T-Martin the offensive coordinator position Come on man third in two and G-Roll calls a QB draw. I hit people saying fire wink I disagree he noticed his mistakes and adjusted the defense did good down the stretch But had no help from the offense the more that they on the field the more mistakes that they make sorry for the long message No, no, no, no, don't apologize for this at all my friend. Please don't but yeah, the the Yeah, we talk about hood hardball all the time And we love that he loves his people. We love that he puts his people on well We love that he's willing to do that for people The way that it affects the Ravens is not best for business Because it makes you hire friends and you know, let me hide my buddy. My my guy needs a job I know my guy can do this But can he do it the best is he the best man for the job or the best guy who won't threaten your job anyway As far as wink wink is something that's very tricky Because it's crazy with with with wink and and hardball does this too sometimes But with wink. It's like When all of his players are there when he has his guys even most of his guys The coaching decisions are like, huh? What what's going on? But then when he's like down to nothing That's when he he made the adjustments and he like oh, you know what? Maybe I need to I need to dial it back a little bit. Maybe I do maybe I need to Need to cheer a little bit. Maybe I need to stop leaving these guys on islands and stuff like that Okay, when he was down to his last so he did adjust But it's almost like he was like he was forced to like he He wanted to keep eating at these fancy restaurants, but he had the money to do it So he had to adjust to the situation like he was forced to adjust to the situation Because if you try to go to those fancy expensive restaurants with no money, you ain't gonna get no food Ain't gonna get no food. So the same way when when he was stripped of literally everything and everybody Then it was like, oh, okay, you know what? Maybe I do need to fix this So I just wonder how things will be when everybody's back Will he go back to the same old stuff and then even and I understand. Oh, yeah If your players out you the stuff ain't gonna work the same, but What if it's not working with the players that you're supposed to have are you still gonna keep doing it over? No, we know wink is wink wink is wink and and he got his MO like a I'm about to blitz you Don't care. I don't care if I got my starters. I don't care if I got my backups I don't care. I'm blitzing you and I'm blitzing you like crazy So I just wonder my concern is if it's not working Will he adjust when everybody's back? Well, he still adjust when everybody's back because he did this year down the stretch But will that be Consistent next question came from my guy Eric. He said he has it going my question is do you think that a lot of times the Ravens rely on Justin Tucker a little too much By him being one of the greatest kickers of all time. No, I do not man We saw that in the those stretcher games those stretch of those six games and a lot of those where they could have opted for Overtime bill. Hey, we got Justin Tucker. We kick this field goal. We kick this point after touchdown We just let's play for overtime and even hey, what what if we get the ball back first in overtime? We kick a field goal or we go ahead. We do something, but they know they don't they they do not They I feel like they don't rely on Justin Tucker enough in a lot of those crucial clutch Situations and they've been times this year when they've been in field goal range, but they said, oh, no, no, no, let's punt the ball Let's go ahead and punt it You know Justin Tucker be ready man. That dude is always ready He's the definition to stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready Now I do feel like over the years They've had to rely on him and if he was on so many other teams and he would not be the greatest kicker Of all time because other teams would have been scoring a lot more touchdowns Then field goals, but we know over the years. There were a lot of games where Justin Tucker had to try to on out there and kick a bunch of field goals So had he been with a lot of other teams that scored a lot more touchdowns in the Ravens over the years Then he wouldn't be considered the greatest now that ain't no new news or anything like that. We've been said that But he I mean he'll still be a really good kicker But he wouldn't have been known as the greatest caravans like they had got him Oh, they used to have him out there all the time all the time all the time But now they like, ah, yeah, not so much now it go for two next question came from Ray Nell He said so the QB controversy just died this night after the Steelers game One in six record and Huntley passed for three touchdowns and four interceptions. It's all right But he could have done more Bateman is always opening. Nothing goes his way Seems like Manju's earned his QB's trust so much that they throw him the ball every time good game Ravens I heard Vikings head coach is available in Vic Fangio for DC. Oh, he ain't coming back here Not under how about watch anyone not named Roman will do for offensive coordinator Especially those QB runs on third downs need to go Hey you Oh Yeah, even though they they were working What we're getting with the Steelers game with the game before in the Rams game I think they they were working and I was like, oh, wow You know, I'm still not a fan of those the QB runs The design ones if a QB takes off. I cool But the design in the way that the Ravens design a lot of them is just so bad but Yeah, man, you you said a mouthful and I don't even need to follow up you you don't said everything next question came from Brady said a engraving hope all is well with you And your fam I just want to get your initial thought process regarding free agency with around 26 or 27 million cap space without Restructures or cuts. We have these key players set to hit the market Bozeman Elliott avid Ricards Watkins Campbell Brandon Williams Justin Houston Jimmy Smith or Tavius Murray Josh Bynans Panel McPhee Devonte Freeman, etc You could have probably put the etc way before and that would have covered a lot of these people too Anyway, he said it's pretty obvious. We won't be able to retain all of these players However, I was wondering if you could give me your initial must keeps out of the bunch Must keeps none For me personally is Campbell Bynes Bozeman Ricard and Houston. I don't care much for the others Thank you for your time. And as always gold Ravens, who would be the must keeps out of this list? I Would say Yeah, yeah, really nobody. I got guys I will have some some light to keep some guys that I would like to stay Like a Kaleas Campbell if he's all the way in it If Kaleas Campbell's like if he's like, oh man, I want to retire Oh, man No, maybe I don't want to know if he ain't gonna be all the way in it Then no because you don't want somebody who's not all the way there If he's all the way there and he's with it And I know he said it before the season was over in that presser with him and Jimmy Smith But give him some time and and really let him decide Cuz things change situations change opinions change. How you think changes? So if he was all in it, I okay cool Bradley Bozeman will love to keep him. I don't feel like it's an absolute must But it would it would be great because if it would give you continuity along the offensive line But I don't feel like it's the end all be all I would much rather him be here than for him to walk But if he walks I understand cuz he's trying to get his bread He is trying to get paid and he will get paid a nice dollar on the open market The Sean Elliott again, I would bring all these guys back as far as depth Sammy Watkins is going though Pat Ricard. No, I would say going to as far as me For the Ravens I can see them bringing him back in and but that would have such a big impact on what the Ravens offense does Because you know Pat Ricard that that's all the slot wide receiver. They be having him out there And it's just like come on. Yo, what what are we doing? So, um, but yeah as far as like again must keep guys Now and well right now feel like Justin Houston. He's somebody that I feel like would Not necessarily have to come back, but I think they'll bring him back Especially with tires Bowser's injury Coming at like literally the worst time even though I mean the injuries are always bad, but it came at the worst time Right at the last game of the season. So I think that almost forces them to bring back Justin Houston and Josh Bynes, I feel like it's good. I mean, I hope it's not the same thing over again But it's like if it if it's just gonna be Patrick Queen and Malik Harrison again Then you almost feel like Josh Bynes is gonna end up being back It just depends on what they do at inside linebacker this offseason because that's a position that I don't think we're talking about enough I don't think we're talking about enough because Patrick Queen they're not just gonna go with Patrick Queen. They're not they're not gonna have him be their guy They're not gonna have him be the indoor be all inside linebacker. You just know So depending on what they do there if they're active at inside linebacker It's one thing but if they're not then Josh Bynes will be back next question came from Caden He said I engrave and hope everything is well with the season now over and the dolphins realizing that Brian Florida or releasing Brian floor is he put realizing but he meant releasing So anyway, he said do you think that we let go wink and get floor is no I don't think they will let go any coordinators I think they're just gonna give everybody a pass But anyway, he said in my opinion, he did a great job at coaching the linebackers with the pets Do you think it will be great for Queen and all the other linebackers? Thanks. It could be it could be I mean He sure know how to stop Ravens offense, but I mean Ravens offense. They knew how to stop Ravens offense But no, I just I don't see this one happening at all them letting go a wink and bringing in Brian floor is now Especially Brian floor. He trying to get a head coaching job So if all the other head coaching jobs got filled up and he just wasn't getting any opportunity there I still don't think it will happen But that would be the point where I think he would consider taking a coordinator role But you you try to go you try to aim for the top first You don't want to just get fired and have a head coach and be like alright Coordinated time. No, you want to try to get a head coaching job Especially if you want went what seven and one down the stretch or eight and one down the stretch Whatever it was you trying to get a head coaching job and then if nothing works out Then you consider other stuff, but Brian floor is to the Ravens. No now on the flip side We got a question from Falu said a engraving hope all is well with you and your family I had a question for you if we were to part ways with Craig Roman Would you be open to hiring Brian Flores as our offensive coordinator? Oh For him so him completely like flipping sides of the ball because I'm pretty sure he's a defensive guy So, no, I just know I That would be something what teams wouldn't know what to expect We might have linebackers out there running goal routes or something like that So we may have a defensive in running the slander, but no, I don't know next question came from my guy chase He said a engraving hope this question finds you your family and all the team keeping clean Well, appreciate that I do think that the with the performance of Tyler Huntley in the Steelers game that his stock may have Dropped to the point that the Ravens won't get any decent office Every draft report I saw talks about it not being a very not being a very talented QB draft class So I know that that may help slightly But what do you think the Ravens would be willing to accept as a minimum to trade Huntley? Do you think that the Ravens will keep him around for another year? Or will he be like the end of your videos and be out the best wishes to you And yours um, I don't think the Ravens are actually allowed to trade Huntley I'm not sure, but I don't think they are allowed to I got to Double-check on the whole exclusive rights free agent thing, but I think he has to stay regardless But so he ain't going nowhere He is his salary is like 750,000 something like that. It's something crazy cheap And he's a backup quarterback and you know he can come in and he can play he is not Lamar Jackson No, but I don't think people expect him to be Lamar Jackson But for him being so cheap And him being reliable Like you I mean you would hope that they would have won some more games with him in there But I mean we know the rest of the story But yeah, I don't think he's going anywhere now as far as his stock I Think is that it's a little it was at a weird spot. Now again, I don't think he's getting traded to be nice I would love him to get a shot somewhere But I don't think it happens But as far as his stock is it's at like a weird place Because he made some stuff happen, but his struggles with zip on the ball and with the deep ball I think that would have some people concerned So it's like I feel like his stock right now will sort of be in limbo, but he'll be a Raven next year Next question came from gold Marano said best linebacker in the AFC, huh? Great when we both watched every game this year I would like to know if our eyes are seeing the same thing Mike Tomlin made the comment that Patrick Queen is the best linebacker in the AFC north Why would the best linebacker in the north be a weak side linebacker? This is by no means a bashing session I appreciate Queenie's efforts, but unless I'm imagining things I watch Patrick Queen get run over by tight ends and running backs all Year could Mike Tomlin be using his words as a way to prevent the Ravens from drafting a linebacker in the early rounds Could there be a linebacker that they are worried may be scooped up by the Ravens who who draft way ahead of them Am I alone in my thoughts that Patrick Queen will best serve the Ravens as a strong safety? I saw somebody else say that before too. I understand he's only 22 But the player has to grow up quickly in this league I see Queen being a safety his size building speed could prove To make the linebacker just what we need in a secondary am I judging Queen too harshly? No, this um, this actually wasn't harsh at all Because I've seen some people the way that they speak not only about Patrick Queen But the way that they speak about players they can just be outright disrespectful And it's a shame to see it if a player struggles at something We know we get it but the way that you speak about somebody it says a lot about you and your level of respect I am not even talking about you I mean yeah It does say something about you go Marano because you spoke about what he struggles with but you spoke about it Respectfully so we could tell that you have respect But not everybody does that and it's a shame when you see stuff like that But anyway, I know we're getting sidetracked. Um, I think this was I think this is mind games I think that's a Tomlin playing mind games. Maybe he's maybe he's trying to recruit Patrick Queen for the future Maybe he's like a man is the best linebacker in the air see north. Hey Ravens don't pick up that fifth. Yeah option big dog Hey, you know where to find me You know what if I you always have a place whatever team I'm on if I ain't with the Steelers no more You always have a place or it could it could be them. I think it's just mind games really I think it is because No Patrick Queen Patrick Queen got he got potential he got potential He just he got a clean up some he got a clean up the fundamental stuff That's it That's it. He got a clean up then and the main thing is tackling the arm tackles and just wrapping up He got a clean up the fundamental stuff. He got the burst Sometimes he struggles getting off them offensive linemen, but um, he got the burst He certainly does And he he makes some flashy plays sometimes but even in the Steelers game There was a like the play where he He timed the snap perfectly was in the backfield, but he missed the tackle. He like over pursued it And just missed it. Thank goodness He started the the breakup of the play because I forgot who ended up making attack on the backfield But um, so he's got that he's he's got so much potential, but um, he hasn't got to Get there yet Um, but yeah as far as this week I think it could be too that again just mind games because there could be somebody in free agency who the Steelers may be thinking Oh man, the Ravens they they trying to get him, you know what? Let's do everything that we can even though it be tough Let's try to build this guy Patrick Queen up Let's try to put it out there to the media because we know Ravens They love listening to the media and stuff that the media says affects the Ravens so much So let's put this out there to the media Alright Patrick Queen best line back in AFC North and let's see how they run with it. Next question came from my guy Paolo, he said do you think that most of the defensive line would take pay cuts to be back with the team? Well, they're all free agents. So they wouldn't even have to take pay cuts, but they would just have to take a Lower deal a cheaper deal if they really wanted to be back that much But not if they get better office somewhere else Because money talks and it's like yeah, hey, you love to come back to the Ravens They gave you a shot. They traded for you or they drafted you or they signed you in free agency Great team great organization, but money talks. It really does Well, except for Justin Houston because I think the offer that he got from Pittsburgh was higher than the one that he got from the Ravens I believe. Oh remember when Pittsburgh signed Ingram Melvin Ingram and Then they were like man This ain't working out and they cut them and the chiefs picked them up and look how they doing now Just something I thought about But he said would it be good to have those defensive linemen back on the team since Tyra Bowser will be out most of next season Who could be a good replacement? Sorry for the combo questions. Love the content. No, it's all good. I mean, don't apologize But yeah, as far as Williams and Houston Campbell They it's possible, but as far if it's significantly lower money Then I just I don't think they will be back and again We're like I was talking about earlier with Kalaeus Campbell. It just all depends on where his head is at in the game With Houston though with Houston I think that he has the highest chance of all three of them to come back Especially because because of the situation with Tyra's Bowser And he said oh, yeah, since Tyra's Bowser will be out most of next season I don't know if it's gonna be most next year, but we'll see we I just don't know But who would be a good replacement? Yeah, it would have to be Houston Houston and um Houston in no way and away I forgot about away. He was dealing with the injury to the end of the season to not hopefully not a serious one But he was dealing with something. I don't even remember what it was But yeah, I would feel like the outside linebackers
