I'ma leave everything in the description, so it'll make it just one click away. So why did you start talking about the Ravens? You're obviously a Ravens fan, but what made you really start talking about Ravens and just feeling like diving into YouTube and podcasting parts? I just felt like, I mean, because all the conversations I had with people, you know, all the shop or the neighborhood, stuff like that. I said, why not put it on a platform? Okay. I feel like your voice should be heard more than where more people can hear my opinions and takes, you know what I mean? So I'm like, hey, it might be the next Steven A. Smith or something like that. You never know. You really never know for real, man. You never know where this thing could take you, or the podcast and YouTube and whatever it may be. That's true. So a lot of people, you hear that a lot of times, but that is a reality. You just really never know. So I think it's always important that when you do start doing whatever it is that you choose to do, that you just go at it, put your own spin on it and have fun with it, man. And treat every video, not like it's your last video, but treat every video. Just know that you never know who's watching. So just bring it every time. That's a word of advice that I really give to anybody that's looking to start, looking to do it, but doing it already. Just bring it every single time because you never know who's watching. But we got some real good questions, like we always do. So without further ado, let's go ahead and hop into it. All right, first question. This question came on the 17th. So it was before the Ravens and Chiefs game. And this is the first episode of question from Subbs after the Ravens and Chiefs game. So keep that in mind. It came from my boy, Joey. He said, what's up in Graven? I was typing up some comments on YouTube and I thought I should just become a Patreon and bring it up there. I've been around the channel for about four to five years and now you make it so easy to support. Thank you for that. I appreciate that, man. He said, anyway, been watching the Ravens since 2008, the flag go in hardball years. And I've only called for one coach's job since. That was offensive coordinator after Lamar's first playoff game against the Chargers. I love all Russian attack but seeing no adjustments Monday night to throw some quick slants, quick outscreens to get the pass rush to relax really tick me off. So referring to the Raiders game in Greg Roman. I know we're one game in and I've been on the, we still have 16 more games trained but I'm calling for Greg's job. With all the new running backs, I would like to think we should use the kiss approach. Keep it super simple. Let the great running backs and Lamar just naturally be great. How are you feeling when we once play calling and do you see us making adjustments for week two? Offensively and defensively. Now, even though this question is obviously in hindsight, for me, I really felt like going into this game, Greg Roman was gonna have to call the game with his life because there was a lot of pressure on him. There was a lot of pressure on him going into the season already, especially when they hired Keith Williams and T. Martin. I think that really showed that there was a lot of pressure on him. So going into this chief's game, the world already watched last week on Monday night football. The world would definitely be watching because it's Lamar Jackson and Patrick Holmes. So all eyes are gonna be on him. So I just, I felt like that he was gonna have to call the game with his life. He didn't have no choice but to. And they certainly did. Now, how did you feel about the play calling from the game last night? Well, I'm gonna start with the Raiders game. Then I'll give you a little bit because I can see the pass this question. You did a pretty good job against the Raiders, if you ask me. The only thing I would say, I didn't really like that he went away from Taishan, what Taishan weighs. Just ripped off a big run, run fourth down and get us attached to that play 46 yards, 47 yards. I'm not completely sure. But why not give him a few more carries? You know, 18 to 30, 250 yards, I believe, attached down. He had two costly fumbles. One of them was his bandcage. The other one came off our band protection. So you put up 27 points, a couple misreads. But like I said, all in all, the office is averaging right now over the last two weeks. I'm not mistaken. Well, 31 points a game. You don't get too much better than that. Now, fast fourth to last night, like you said, everything he said happened last night. The run game was on. We kept the Chiefs against him. We didn't abandon the run game. We all had 11. I was saying to myself, oh, we ready to pass hand, he was ready to come up, try and chuck it, chuck it. No, we stuck tall guys. You know, we made two dumbest mistakes. Lamar forced to pick. The first one, Sammy fell. So, you know, we got those hiccups up the way early. Yeah. It was not starting to get on our side. So, Hollywood had a great game. And, oh, how do you know? Bob Andrews had a pretty decent game. So, we was at, what, 13 carry, 78 yards. DeValte Freeman looked real good, came in. I got it. You were real high, or? Yeah. You brought him in. I watched that video. We'll take this. Every game he's playing, then he scored a touchdown. Like I said, he's yours, but currently he's probably not the greatest, but when we need him, he's coming through the red zone. That's a good point. Oh, the offense overall has been good to me. Both games. So, just cut back on the turtles. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And then just to flip it to the defensive side, when we go back to that Raiders game, the thing that was just killing me was the fact that Darren Waller, he ate the Ravens alive, the whole game, man. He just was dominating the Ravens. Like the whole game. I was thinking like, man, is Wink gonna make some like, are we gonna have some second half adjustments so we can try to take Darren Waller out the game? Cause he's really, he's the only player that's just really dogging and Ravens like from start to finish. And in the second half, it was nothing. So going into the game against the Chiefs, I'm like, oh boy, if we struggle like that with Darren Waller, who is the top three tight end, we about to face some people that's top three, but not three and go up against Travis Kelsey. So I don't like imagine what this dude is gonna do to us. So, and he did just that. He absolutely destroyed us. But Wink, he adjusted to Travis Kelsey but he did it a little too late. And with Wink overall in this game, he does get a lot of credit. There's a lot to improve on, but again, you were going against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. So that's a tough task, man. Cause they are one of the best, not just one of the best teams in the league, but Patrick Mahomes were the best quarterbacks. Look what it took for the Bucks to slow them down, took for him to miss his whole entire office a lot. So that's the tough task for any defensive coordinator. Right, exactly. And I just wish they would have, I wish they would have taken Malik Harrison out a bit sooner. Yeah, then they did. But it obviously ended up working out in the long run and something that I didn't even realize watching a game last night. I don't know if it's because you were there last night at the game. I don't know if you realize that when you were there too, but they, the Chiefs didn't get any fourth quarter points. That's it, that's it. I realized it once the game was over. That's crazy. Some of y'all scored them 12 to zero for the fourth quarter. And that's just like, if anybody would have said something, like they Ravens outscored the Chiefs in whatever quarter really, but then the clutch time in fourth quarter when they needed the most and like to hold them to nothing. Like that, again, while Kelsey did go off last night. So in what they scored 35 points, it was what, 36, 35? But while there's a lot of, there was some frustrations with the defense last night and Casey, they put up their points. We got to take the bad with the good too. And we got to talk about both of them. So being able to hold the Chiefs scoreless in a quarter is amazing. And especially when it's the fourth quarter, when everything is on the line, the most like this is the game right here. And especially in such a close game where things, they going back and forth and whatnot. So we definitely got to give Wink his credit. Another thing, how did you feel about the Blitzen from week one to week two? We, he downed it down a notch, which he was going to have to do because you can say no Blitz pass your holes. You just ask it for, you just ask it for trouble. Especially if you may undermine the secondary. So his Blitz was more controlled. It was more controlled Blitz. I like that, that's the way to go. Send a nickel off the corner, something like that. Or having the lay blitz of the gun, the linebacker, stuff like that. It was more controlled Blitz. It wasn't just, you know, hey. And he ain't tight stuff like, you know, we ain't playing that. So, you know, it wasn't really that easy. And we took time to get off the game. That was my biggest work. Travis Kelsey is going to get his numbers. That's just, no, it's not too much you can do about that. Cause a linebacker is too slow. I think he is too small. So it was like, he's going to give me my biggest worry was the cheater that he was held in check. So. Yeah. I think he had what, like three catches for like 14, it's 14 years, something crazy. 14 yards or something like that. Yeah. And for them, like for you to hold cheater all night, like literally for four quarters. In fact, like if, if somebody said, all right, going into this game, Tyreek Hill, he only gonna have three catches for 14 yards. I would have thought that, okay, only way that that happens. I don't care if you even double team them triple team or whatever that ain't happening. Unless Patrick Mahomes is not his quarterback. That's the only way I would have thought something like if Patrick Mahomes like didn't finish the game or something if he got hurt or something like that, that would be the only way that I would see that happening. But if you told me that Patrick Mahomes was going to play the whole game and cheater was going to play the whole game and he was going to only have like three catches for 14. I would have been like, man, stop that, man. Don't count on that. But the fact they literally took this guy out the game, man. That's crazy. Now. Shout out to the baller because he followed the majority of the right so definitely shout out to the baller how free Andy every. They played that game. Yeah. Avid man, he, I wasn't, it's crazy. I wasn't surprised by how he played but I was just really happy because what we've been saying with Anthony Avid is biggest struggle is just turning his head around because he'll be right. Exactly. The biggest problem just turning his head and then he did that last night, man. And the fact that we just, we really didn't hear his name called too much against the chiefs. That says a whole lot, man. Now we, we're not even done with this question yet. He said, and again, this was before the chiefs game that he sent this, but he said, we'll be calling for Wink's job too. If he doesn't realize we had amazing pressure only rushing for last week. Kaleas, Madabee, Gay, Orway, and Justin Houston definitely can get the job done. The rushing 11 every time worked great. The first and second year for great QBs and offensive coordinators know when it's coming now and all week they are practicing plays saying if they're rushing 11, then we will go with this play and score every time. Thanks again, engraving for the awesome channel giving us a place to give our opinions, to keep it clean and real. I appreciate that, Joey. And yeah, you got exactly what you asked for. He said, we had an amazing pressure only rushing for against the Raiders. So there was a lot of times when in this game where Ravens just rushed for, sometimes they even just rushed three and they still got a good amount of pressure. So how'd you feel about, I know you talked about the Blitz, but how'd you feel about, again, the lack of Blitz and how'd you feel about Jason away in that defensive line of pass rushes and all that? Oh, not Jason away, not Jason away, not halfway, gotta give him his respect. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Godfell, he played amazing man. Love was not going to really show it, but the constant pressure he had and he was, and he played stronger than a run game. So he had a little bit of a move game. I think he used to start, I get it, and he would gradually work her up and all that, but. Who, away or Mata BK? Oh, wait, I know Mata BK time is coming. It's like, what's the lens of those guys that are tired? He told me that, that's just the thing. But definitely, oh wait, him and probably, him and Justin, he still had to try and start. And just, the tires, Bowser just had to play some linebacker, because he's the best cover linebacker and just put him next to Patrick Quaid in the way we got two inside guys that can cover him. And then just let Malik Harrison just rotate it and out. Because he is a good run stopper, but. Yeah, yeah, he very physical. He probably won. Yeah, Patrick Quaid and Bowser are two best cover linebacks because they got the speed. Well, yeah, I think with Malik Harrison, he is definitely the most physical linebacker that we got. That would be something. I didn't think about that last night while the game was on. I know a lot of people had suggested it like throughout last season when we were having trouble covering tight ends, which has been a Ravens problem for years. A lot of people suggested what you were just saying. Lining up Tyus Bowser next to Patrick Queen. And they, I think they did that like a tiny bit where they would drop him back. They would have him lined up next to Patrick Queen. They would drop him back and coverage a little bit. I mean, and he was obviously in coverage a lot of being an outside linebacker for the Ravens. That's just something that you're going to have to do. So because they with outside linebackers for the Ravens, they're not, they don't usually get a bunch of eye popping numbers like that. Well, the last person that really got the numbers like that and drop back in coverage too was Terrell Suggs. And Matt Judon, he was getting about with like nine sex every year, but he had those games where he would go off where he would get like three sex and then something here just be a little quiet or whatnot. But Matt Judon, he wasn't bad though, but with Bowser, I wonder if like moving forward, if they would try that because we obviously got more tight ends that we're going to go up against like next week is Hagenson, the week after that is no a fan. Did Jerry cook up the charges after that? Oh, so yeah, the middle of the field going to get tested. So I wonder if they will consider trying that since Malik Harrison, and not to say Malik Harrison can't come along and get better, but I wanted to try mixing it up soon enough. What you think about that? Yeah, yeah, or use your safeties. You got guys like Brad and Stevens that can come in. Yeah. You got Gino Stel that was playing ball. Use those shots to cover the tight end. That's a good idea. Just be more flexible. Because like I said, it's a passing league. Yeah. That don't seem to me to take Russia to football or just like that. I don't say we're taking season. We may give up on the odds, maybe once. Maybe. Because yeah, you know that's Ravens, Brad and Butter. Stop the run game first. Stop the run game, of course. So definitely, that's the only thing. We definitely got to control those tight ends of the control a little bit. But other than that, the defense now stops when we need it. So that's all you can really ask for. Our next question came from my boy, Joshua H. He said, the tired Phillips lesson, and the real reason I don't trust hardball. And this came before the game last night against the Chiefs. But I know my guy, Joshua, I know his mind ain't really going to be changed from one game. But he said, remember in 2012 when practically everyone knew Michael Orr should be at right tackle, but they kept putting him at left tackle all year. And remember, they barely let Denil L.A.B. see the field. We heard it was because they didn't trust Brian McKinney, our true left tackle. And L.A.B. has some kind of personality, hardball didn't care for or else, didn't like how he practiced. Then when the playoffs started, what all of us know, what all of us know nothing fans thought was best was what they did. L.A.B. was a force. McKinney held it down at left tackle and Orr did well over on the right side where he belonged. Orr in 2018, when the whole fan base was calling for newly drafted Orlando Brown Jr. to replace struggling James Hurst at right tackle. Yes, I certainly remember that one. If Hurst hadn't been injured, would Orlando not have gotten a start until 2019? Probably not. Or last year, the whole town, literally everyone knew they needed to drastically reduce Mark Ingram's carries and give them to J.K. and Gus. The coaches did it, but only about six weeks after it was obvious to everyone. And last year, they had Tyree Phillips starting at right guard. When all the injuries happened, we learned McCarrie and Powers were both way better at that spot. Cole Jackson told me on Twitter the other day that they don't trust Powers because he's shown up to camp out of shape a couple of times. And lo and behold, they once again had Phillips starting at left guard this time over him in the Raiders game. And over Cleveland and McCarrie and everyone else. I have nothing against Tyree Phillips, but don't they need the best players in the game? And this week, when asked why Tyson Williams didn't get more carries in the second half, we got some nonsense answer about how they like to spread it around. I say nonsense because they didn't spread it around. They gave him almost no carries in the second half. That's true. He only got two carries in the second half for that Raiders game. Ordinarily, I'd just ask if it's just me, but my suspicions have been confirmed too many times now. I think most coaches would feel like they need to play their best players and get the most out of them. Most coaches would feel like Talon is scarce and it's their duty to make the most of what they have. Hardball thinks they need to come to him and be the way he wants first in many cases. He's not failed at this in every case, but his stubbornness in other cases is very obvious and it hurts the team. And I say this is a luxury. Hardball can exercise when his team is in Super Bowl contention, not floundering in the playoffs. He will cut off the team's nose, not despite his face, but because he believes their faces should be able to walk into a knife, this was what made me move from just being steadily annoyed with Hardball on some low level to being done with him last November. How much, if at all, does this sort of thing impact your trust of this coaching staff in front office? So this was a good question about just the Ravens really making the best moves of the team and Hardball putting the best players out there on the field. And especially when we as fans, I mean, we as fans, we don't know everything. We don't know all the behind the scenes stuff. We just see what they put out there every Sunday or Monday or Thursday, whenever they play. Last week they played, last year they played on Wednesday, but that with this game, like the Chiefs game, with the Raiders game, yeah, with Tyson Williams, he was clearly the best runner, Raiders game, but he did have that fumble out of bounds. He was struggling past protection and whatnot. And then in the second, first half he had seven carries, second half he had two carries. So they cut him off big time. But this game, I liked how, even though he messed up, again, last week he messed up in past protection, this week he messed up with a fumble on the goal line, even though he did that. And thank goodness Devin Duvenay was in right place, right time. Ooh, Lord, that player almost spilled my soda on somebody. But yeah, even though, yeah, Duvenay was at right place right time, I was glad that the coaches, they still stuck with Tyson Williams throughout the game, not only throughout the hat, but throughout the game, they still continue to give him opportunities because he was their best runner. We know how easy it is for somebody to get in Hardball's doghouse, especially when you're not a high draft pick and you do not have a high salary. If those two things are going against you, you better not mess up, because it's so easy to get put in a doghouse. That's why I was surprised last week too with Devin Duvenay, when he, against the Raiders, when he fumbled their punt, I was surprised that he stayed out there at punt return. Because I was like, oh, I would not have been surprised if Devin Duvenay would have been benched, or at least at punt return, not at wide receiver. But I was surprised that they stuck with him, but I was glad that they stuck with him. So could we possibly be seeing like some sort of change? Well, but at the same time, if Tyree Phillips wasn't the best left guard out there, they did go with him, but now he's hurt. So now they went with Powers and Cleveland. So I hope that this week is the start of something new when it comes to coaching, really putting the best players out there on the field, letting the best players play and just, and really making it happen. Because again, we as fans, we don't see or know everything. We just see what's out there. And sometimes fans got a good eye though. Cause I know like some people always be like, oh, y'all y'all are fans for a reason. Y'all not on a coaching staff, blah, blah, blah. But I mean, sometimes you could just see these things, man. So how you feel about how the Ravens put the best play if the Ravens really do put the best players out there to play. And just there, some players having a shorter leashed than others and how hard ball is with putting the best players out there on the field for the Ravens? I mean, it's, I don't think definitely that you had me strength in my head. That's a lot of pain. I felt like I was with this guy, you know, he did that, but just impressed the character. Everything you want in the office, a lot of it, nasty ball up, smart, like, I'm like, something must be going on. Why is he not starting that? You know, I guess that he played pretty well despite not having all season last year, you know, COVID stuff like that. Right, right. He showed it and by it, you know, how to resolve for the most part. I mean, JJ White exposed it, but that's JJ White. That's the first thing that all the things went healthy. So, you know, so, and Ben Cleaver, I was wondering why he ain't touched it for the first week. I was just, I saw the reports and all that stuff, saying he's not ready, that hurt. He's not deal waiting for the issue that we go off. So, why is he not on the field? Yeah, because I know he, with Cleveland, they say he had got a concussion, like late in camp, but he did return to camp, but yeah, he was in active week one. You know, he played some right tackle at Georgia too. Oh, he did? Yeah, he played some right tackle there. He played, I always think he didn't play myself. Oh, okay. So, he was all over the offensive line then. Yeah, because they had a few injuries, especially when I was, when was the kid, they the tightest draft, they the cut to do the offensive. I think Isaiah Wilson. When? The offensive line. I think yeah, I think Isaiah Wilson was the one, the tightest just recently cut. He just cracked, maybe it was when you play. Yeah, I forget his last name. I know he's talking about that. Who's Wilson? I'm not mistaken. Maybe. I don't know. Well, yeah, we know who you talking about though. Yeah, once he got hurt, he moved big Cleveland around. So, oh, still they give him no sack. So, that's what I'm saying. He's six, six, and three, four. He can play right tackle, push, cut, and shove. Yeah, I was with Ben Cleveland. I was not with Ben Cleveland, but with Patrick McCarty playing right tackle. I was worried, man. I was shocked, because I ain't think, because the offense was long enough to get him. Yes, exactly. That's the exact same thing I was worried about. So, what it worked out for the best. So, but I think something that they could have in mind. But I think Ben, the way he was going to go back there, he'll probably play a little bit better than them. Yeah, I hope so. They coached Joe Diaz there. You know, he's been coaching for 34 years. So, he's probably letting them know we need to tighten up for us to test me and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. This Roddy asked to play last time. You know, it's just though, it's like that. So, you know, you don't think there's a chance, even if it's a slim chance, that when Ronnie does come back, that they might be like, Ronnie, you want to try it out at right tackle? I would say, I mean, it's obviously not going to be about money, because he's already getting paid left tackle money. So, the money's out the way. Do you think that it's, because especially with how well, and it's just been one game, so we can't like overthink about it, because it's just been one game, we had to see circumstances. That goes both ways. Like, see how Vela Webber played bad at right tackle for one game? Mm-hmm. Move both ways, because the Raiders' defense a lot, showed up still as Olaf. He's like, Yeah. The Raiders, that's not just us, the Raiders have a pretty good defensive, decent defensive knowledge yet, so. Mm-hmm. So, I think, like I said, it's probably, I don't give it like a five percent chat, because they might just be like, yeah, all the last four years, we're gonna be here by the left and by the right. So, he'll get more comfortable with the game, so. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
