 Now this first question got sent to the wrong email but since he's new here I'm gonna give him this one pass and one pass only. It came from my guy Greg B. He said, just wanted to let you know, big fan of the channel, watch it almost daily. I'm not a subscriber, don't ask me why. I should be, but I watch it on my TV and it's said to guest mode but I just might be too lazy to log in and subscribe. Hey, it's all good man, I appreciate you watching. And I appreciate the honesty too. Thank you for that. And thank you for the lazy comment because I'll be getting lazy with a lot of stuff too. So I feel you on it anyway. As I said, I'm a fan of watching channel almost daily. I've been a Raven fan before they even came to Baltimore when the Browns left Cleveland. I followed them to Baltimore. All right. So he'd been rocking with them before they were even them. I was watching today's show and I noticed one of your questions from subs brought up John Harbaugh. And if the Ravens don't get to the AFC championship game, should he be fired? This clicked and made me realize there have been many episodes on your show where fans or even yourself have put Harbaugh on the hot seat. Not hating, but it made me think about why do we say these things about Harbaugh, but no noise ever comes out of Pittsburgh on Tomlin. Tomlin has one Super Bowl win, same as Harbaugh. In fact, other than not having a losing season, their resumes are almost identical. Sean Payton only has one Super Bowl. Never heard of him being on a hot seat. Pete Carroll, etc. Well, first, because we talk about Ravens. We talk about Ravens like 99% of the time on here. We talk about Ravens every single day of the year. So that's why, I mean, we ain't really worried about Tomlin, Carroll, Sean Payton. So yeah, that's why. I mean, simple answer. That's it. We talk about the Ravens. And he also said, just want to know your thoughts because Harbaugh is in a very unique group of coaches, with one being with one of the longest tenors with one team, Belichick, Payton, Tomlin, Harbaugh, Roundup, top of the four of active coaches. Harbaugh operates the most dominant run offense in the league. Even Brian Billick said Super Bowl year 2000, our strategy, run the ball down the opponent's throats and unleash our defense. See, you see what you just said though. Let's read that again. Even Brian Billick said Super Bowl year 2000. That was 22 years ago. Our strategy, run the ball down opponent's throats and unleash our defense. Baltimore has never been a pass first offense, so really Harbaugh is doing a fantastic job. If run first won't win you a Super Bowl nowadays, then wouldn't it be more effective to talk about the shift the organization needs to take rather than putting it on Harbaugh? Harbaugh is part of the, I've been saying this. I said that, yeah, Harbaugh is a big part of the reason too, but I also said it's a philosophy thing. And I've also said that it starts from the top down. It starts from the top. Well you said this before. Who can just put it all on Harbaugh is a big part of it, especially because he's the one that hires the offensive coordinators, the defensive coordinators and whatnot. He's a huge part of it, but it starts at the top. So yeah, Harbaugh is huge in it. So is Eric Dacosta. Bashati, I think Bashati is just like, hey, I got the money, I'll pay y'all, y'all do whatever y'all take care of it. But so that's why I think it starts at Eric Dacosta and Harbaugh. Those are the main two. Philosophy change. We've been saying that for a long time, man. So yeah, that's that. Anyway, he said just some observations. Hope you in the family are good. Love the channel. Hey, I appreciate it, Greg. But yeah, that's all it is, man. That's all it is. You saying the same thing. We been saying. So we on the same page. Next question came from my boy, Sean. Oh, my dog ain't seen it. He ain't seen it even in a minute, but he always bring it. I appreciate you, Sean, man. Got a lot of love for you. I appreciate you a lot, man. Anyway, he said, yo, what's up in gravy? Long time, no chitchat. See, he knew. He said, long time, no chitchat. No problem with you in the family. We both on the ground, but I still watch every day, though. Appreciate it, man. I was at the Ravens practice, the Ravens Stadium, and let's look at the big picture here. The Ravens have the two best wide receiver coaches in the league and T. Martin and Keith Williams. And let's not forget Jerry Rice came from Tennessee State as a nobody and became the greatest of all time. I believe the Ravens are counting on the coaching staff to bring the best out of the wide receivers that they have. Let's not forget the words from the man from Lamar Jackson in Hollywood Brown. We have some dogs in this room, and I believe in them, and they just need a chance. I believe if the Ravens keep what they have in sight, one of those big undrafted guys, I see big things in the future because if Lamar believes in them, like he says he does, then we should believe in them. Everybody including myself wants the big flash receiver, but I've been raven since 96. They never value why receivers are. First top flight receiver was Michael Jackson. Nobody even knows who he is. I'm saying that to say this. I believe they hire T. Martin and Keith Williams to develop what they drafted and make something out of them because let's remember Devonte Adams. He wasn't Devonte Adams until he worked with Keith Williams, but Keith Williams works exclusively with the Ravens now. And I believe in Tyler Wallace, Devin DuVernay, James Prochet and Rashad Bateman. He made me believe in the games that he played with three different quarterbacks. I'm saying that to say this. I believe they hire T and Keith to develop what they drafted and make something out of them because let's remember Devonte at all. It's okay. I don't know why the email is repeating itself right there. That's weird. Anyway, he said it's good to talk about and dream about a DK Matt Cav who is officially signed now. So congratulations, DK and all these other guys like a Deebo to his officially signed now. Congratulations, Deebo. And let's not forget EDC tried to draft James and Williams, but they took him a player two ahead of our picks. So he just didn't give up on the wide receiver group. Every time we picked, they took what they took all we wanted, like one or two picks beforehand. See, with that, I, he tried, there's a lot of trying that there's a lot of trying. And hey, kudos to trying, but you got to get it done. You got to get it done because I like, and I've heard about the whole James and William thing before. Um, it's like, Hey, oh, they, they tried to get James and William. They try to get, uh, was it Calvin White? Um, but if you really like, and I know things happen, surprises happen or whatnot, but if you really feel like that is a guy that could be a difference maker, a huge difference maker for your team, you had 10 draft picks, 10 draft picks. This was obviously before the Hollywood trade. Um, but you had 10 draft picks. You could have threw something in there and moved up a little bit to, to go get that guy. Um, but anyway, he said, I also believe that before we picked Jalen and more Davis, EDC wanted to draft Kobe Bryant, who was the cornerback of the year in college football. So being a fan of Raven, since the inception of the team, I believe in the route they're going and I'm willing to support, I think we'll all be okay with what we have just as long as Lamar signs the contract. And yeah, I agree with you. No hometown discount. Get your money little brother. Uh, you keep up the good work cause I watch you every day and you're getting large. Uh, tell the family, I said, Hey, let's have a little more belief in the roster that we have because the rain was, uh, the Ravens was going to sign one of them, uh, six, three or six, four guys and they will make an impact. But I believe what we have already will make an impact. Peace out, bro. See you next time. Be more PS. I was looking for you at the practice at the practice. Ravens stadium. But it was a lot of people. Uh, then after the fireworks had to bounce, uh, y'all be good. Hey, appreciate you, man. I could tell this was a, uh, whoo. This was, uh, you did the voice, the voice to text. Cause, uh, this was, this was, this was a tough one right here. But we, we got everything that you were saying, um, the text ain't it all, but we, we understood it anyway, um, the belief in the guys that the Ravens have, um, I just, I hope that it's, it's real belief because what the, the Ravens have done, it seems, um, it's like, like it with them trying to draft, uh, uh, uh, Jameson Williams and trying to draft, uh, uh, Calvin White. Well, I feel like that's not his name. The one that the Steelers got a little small receiver, the small fast receiver that Steelers got. Um, if you try to get, it's easy to try to get somebody. And then if it doesn't work out, be like, oh, no, well, I really want them anyway. We believe in the guys that we got. And it's like, oh, okay. You believe in a guy that you got, but you still try to get this guy. Um, and I, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Cause again, me, I say the more quality, the better. Um, cause that's what I'm all about quality, quality, quality, um, improve on the quality, get the best that you can for your quarterback. Um, so I mean, we'll see. I mean, I feel like, uh, they got no, I mean, they, they're not going to say we don't believe in the receivers that we got. But yeah, as far as the team on and Keith Williams, they were brought in for that specific reason. And that's something that I had been, uh, clamoring for, for years, um, for the Ravens to bring in some wires, some new wire receiver coaches that, that got good experience, that got good resumes that have good track records. Um, so they can really try to get the most out of, uh, Ravens receivers. Um, so there's, there's a lot riding on this year. I am, y'all know me personally, I would, I wouldn't prefer to go the experimental route, uh, with Ravens wide receivers. I can understand why a lot of fans want to though, because a lot of fans are like, Hey, I need to give our own guys a shot. Um, we need to do that, give our young guys a shot. And if this was, uh, 2019, I could understand that. Cause I was on that same thing. Hey, get a young guys a shot, man. Let them grow with Lamar. We're in Hollywood. Obviously grew with Lamar. He got better every year. Um, and I, and of course I know somebody going, Oh, Hollywood had all those drops with the Ravens offense, since it is a run first offense, um, they were not a pass first offense. I mean, last year, uh, they were a little bit, but Ravens are a run first offense. So what that means is that, well, them in that particular situation, um, since they don't pass the ball that much, whenever they do pass the ball, everything that they do in the passing game is going to get emphasized a lot. It's going to get emphasized a lot. And with that, um, everything is going to, it's just going to get blown up so much more and that's good or bad. Um, that's why people talk about Hollywood's drops and they were bad drops. I mean, no drop is a good drop. Um, but Hollywood's drops were blown out of proportion because of the Ravens offense, the type of offense that they run. If he was in a different type of offense and had what he had, like five, six drops last year, I think nobody would really be sweating it because of, but it's because of the volume. It's because of the volume since Ravens are a low volume team, then every drop, it hurts Ravens that much more. They're low passing low, low pass volume team. Um, so, I mean, it's, it's part of the business though. Um, but yeah, man, I, uh, if this was 2019, I'd have been like, Hey, yeah, roll with the young guys, but the, the biggest reason, and I've said this a lot of times, the biggest reason for me that I just, I would love for them to get, I would have love for them to get a proven guy is because of the situation. Lamar Jackson contract here. Ravens, they, they got it. They got another special team right now. They got another very spec that their roster is set up so nice. It set up so nice. And I feel like they so, if they stay healthy, they so close, man, I feel like they are so close. And I just feel like, like you should really just go in for it, man. Go for it. Go for it. Try to be the best of the best that you possibly can to really try to get over that hump. And I feel like it's just, in my opinion, I feel like it's just too much riding on this year, right here, right now for them to be like, yeah, we'll test our, we'll test our young receivers out. We'll test it out. And again, I hope they do. Well, I hope they do a phenomenal job. I really do. But I just, that's why I would, I just would love for them to go out and get somebody who's like that already, not somebody who has to prove themselves, not somebody who we hope works out. And we could, of course, hope all the Ravens receivers work out, but that's my reasoning, man. Cause I, and I get, I get all the people saying, hey, no, this, this all time to get a young receiver's a chance. This, this that time. And it could work out in a different way. You could look at it a different way. You could be like, hey, well, these receivers, the NFL doesn't know about these receivers. So that's a good thing. Cause they, they got a little bit of film on them or what not, but they ain't got tendencies. They ain't got a bunch of guys who got over a thousand yards or whatnot. They don't have that. All these guys are young, unproven guys. And in the NFL does not really know about them like that. So you could, you could look at it like that way and be like, Oh, these receivers, they can shock the world. And hopefully they do. Hopefully they do. But we'll see, man, we'll see this. I just feel like it's just, it's so, it's so risky, but it's a different type of risky, but we'll see. Hopefully, hopefully it pays off, man, whatever they end up doing, hopefully it pays off. And I'm, I'm hoping my boys should more bridges makes the roster just had to throw that in there. Ooh, bad habits. Next question came from my boy, Kevin. He said, I'm a more Jackson fan. I'm originally from Louisville and have been watching him since freshman year in college. My question is, why has Lamar picked up this bad habit of touching his towel when the play is a pass? Does touching his towel when it's a run, uh, can, can a coach or someone tell them off to touch his towel every play or don't touch it at all? Shaking my head. What are your thoughts? He said Kentucky Cobb is coming again soon. Man, you know what, I, I, I think I might have heard of this before a while back, but I'm just not aware of this. I got to, I got to watch for that now. I got to watch for that now to see if that's true, because that's something that's scary to think about. I'm, I'm, I'm gonna look for that. I'm, I'm gonna try to put this in the back of my mind, well really somewhere in the middle. Um, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to keep this in mind, uh, next time I'll watch Lamar because that's something that I just, I didn't know about. So hopefully that's not the case, uh, because that would give it away. Um, I don't, oh, I don't know where I got to watch out for that. I appreciate you putting us on though. If that's accurate, we all going to be watching out for it now. Next question came from my guy, Rave Kingdom. He said, what's up in gravy and hope you and the family are well. Hey, we doing really good. I appreciate it. Justin Houston, when the Ravens picked him up last season, I felt it was a great decision, but he also showed us he lost the step. Well, yeah, he ain't the young boy no more. That's why they call him Yoda. Yoda's old with all his knowledge and whatever. But anyway, I think he's a wonderful veteran player on our team. What are your expectations from Justin Houston? Um, to sort of bridge the gap, uh, between, um, him and to sort of help transition the young guys, the young up and coming past Russia, the Dalen Hayes, the Adafi Aways, the Tyus Bowser's, the possibly Malik Harrison, but him to sort of be there and be like, hey, let me show you all some stuff. I still got some moves in me and whatnot. He was really good against the run last year. Um, and he got a lot of almost sex too. But, um, and then he'll be another year with the Ravens, another year more comfortable with the personnel and whatnot. And I just think he and I think the Ravens view him as somebody who can not only be a player, but also be a coach. So they get like a little two for one deal, like a little Bogo buy one, get one. You give them saying next question came from Chef Carter. He said, what's up in Graven? Just wanted to let you know you're doing a wonderful job. Just want to give you flowers, man. We ain't doing nothing special over here, but I appreciate your support in the channel, man. How do you feel about this year's Ravens? We got a lot of depth at DB, O-Line and Titan. Yeah, they do get a lot of it. So they're gonna have to make some tough decisions. Not at Titan. Um, O-Line, not really. Let me get a little bit. Um, but anyway, he said, from what I see, we're going to be better at what I receive or something about key and T, they make things better, better for us if we can stay healthy. What do you see the season going? It's funny, especially with that, uh, the second question from this episode. Thanks for all you do. Good brother Lamar Jackson going to do big things this year. Looking real good. One more month for the season. Let's get it. Hey, I am, um, right now, I got Ravens at AFC championship. But again, like I always say, I hope they prove me all the way wrong. Again, the only thing that holds me back from putting them in a Super Bowl is just the unknown at wide receiver. So I just really hope that these guys emerge and if the Ravens are going to roll with the guys that they got. All right, let's get it. Let's let's see who shows out. Let's hope that they show out. Let's hope that they stay healthy. Devin Duvenay, the other. See, this this was what I was talking about. And I know it wasn't on serious or hopefully not. But Devin Duvenay, the other day at the open, at the open practice, Devin Duvenay ran into Chuck Clark, where he was trying to get a catch. Chuck Clark was trying to get a pick. They ran into each other. They knees collided and I was looking like, oh boy. Chuck Clark got right up. Devin Duvenay, he got up after a couple of seconds. But this is why I just it's another reason why I had one of them to just go grab somebody for some quality person. I just oh, we just going to get somebody for debt but quality debt. But we'll see, man. They got a lot to prove. And you know, like this this it can go in the Ravens favor because I know like for me, I mean, we ain't special with anything, but it's it's some there's been a lot of times in my life when I felt like I and so I could see where it could benefit these receivers. There's been a lot of times, especially like at past jobs and stuff where I felt like, man, like I can do this. I know I could do this. I know I'm capable of it. I know I can make this thing happen, but I got to overlook. They end up giving a position to somebody else. They end up being, oh, no, no, no, you know, I either didn't get hired. There was a promotion that I might not have gotten something like that. So it and it was frustrating. It was very, very, very frustrating because I'm like, I know I could do it. Why they ain't like they ain't choosing me for it. And it hurt. There were times when it would hurt. So I guess the receivers, they could look at it like that, too. A lot of people have been doubting them. But like me, I haven't really been doubting them, but I just been questioning them question like, hey, is this going to work? Because again, I would rather something proven. But hey, if they if they're going to roll with that, then they could take all the doubt and all the questioning that people have been doing to them. And they could take that and be like, hey, let's let's go show the world, man. When we do get an opportunity, we're going to show the world. And I can understand it. Because again, with those opportunities that I missed out on, now looking back at it, I'm glad things worked out the way that they did because maybe had I got that promotion, had I got that job, that opportunity, then we probably wouldn't be doing this. So just something to think about. And I got to keep that in mind, too, whenever I think about the Ravens wide receivers because I'm sure they have that that same mindset.
