Okay. That's cool too So seriously, I appreciate y'all. Thank y'all for what y'all doing and thanks to all the team keeping clean patrons Appreciate all of y'all if you want to become a team keeping clean patron You can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids if you don't want to if you can't don't feel bad It is really okay. Um, the fact that y'all support a lot and it just that that means everything Because as y'all can see stuff has picked up a lot stuff has gotten a lot crazy a lot busier There's been a lot of tour days as far as videos not not workouts But there's been a lot of tour days because stuff is just Jumping it's going crazy right right like we're here the season's here So it's only gonna get crazy, but I appreciate everybody for supporting now first question Because oh over the weekend. There has been a lot of just I don't know a dissension and arguing and back and forth amongst Ravens fans Some Ravens fans upset at other Ravens fans for Ravens fans having thoughts So what's new what's new people always looking for a reason to be mad people always looking for a reason to argue And it's like for what why just let people feel how they want to feel anyway First question came from my god terry and his his subject was in all But what is he in all about? Well, y'all saw the thumbnail y'all see the title of the video He said what's up in graven? I know I sent a question for himself a couple days ago But I'm sorry. I have to say it. We should have drafted george pickings instead of david a job I wasn't mad at the pick with us selecting david a job, but why not get a ready uh a ready injured player Oh, excuse me. Why get a not ready injured player david a job When you could get a major impact player of need in the second round with pickings that allowed you to give him last Guaranteed money quality depth and gives us an opportunity to sign another impact player from the jump at the edge position Is it cool if I can get your thoughts on this and if there's anything you will fix What would it be if you don't mind telling? Thanks. Hope for the best keep going at it and trust Appreciate it terry. What a way to start us off um george pickings There's a lot of ravens fans that do wish we would have drafted george pickings and if y'all don't want to speak up I will I did I sure did And you can go look at videos and I kept saying the same thing. He's a wide receiver um And then I when we when they track when they traded hollywood away. I was like, oh, yeah They definitely drafting receiver for sure without a doubt It's definitely happened because they they just traded away Their top target He's going And we know rishad babin is probably gonna get into that role now, but I was like they traded their top target away They ain't gonna roll with the guys if they got no way No way. They yeah, they traded for somebody. I mean they drafted somebody. Nope Oh, they traded for somebody. Nope But george pickings was sitting there. He posted up. Yeah, he had the little injury that that that dropped him out of the first round but a ball is a ball and Raven's like, oh no, we good They drafted david a job when we know david a job would have been a really high pick Maybe top 12 top 15 pick. Uh, had he not gotten the achilles injury But he did get the achilles injury And this year, uh, I would say anything you get out of him as a bonus I wouldn't really count on him till next year I know hardball did say that he expects him by mid or david a job Oh actually said that he expects to be back by mid season. It's okay. Hey don't rush him ravin But it's like you Any draft pick is a question mark Any single one is a question mark because you just don't know how they're gonna do But if you get an injured draft pick Then it becomes an even bigger question mark because one, you don't know what they're gonna do But two, you don't even know when they're gonna do it Now david a job. I hope he falls out. Um, when he does hit the field eventually whenever that will be But who knows when he's gonna hit the field george pickings, like you mentioned, it was a position of need Especially with them getting rid of hollywood Um, it was a position that would he could have had an immediate impact And I I loved everything about him and I told you that there were uh Character concerns. That's I know that's something that a lot of ravens fans bring up Who who who don't like other ravens fans talking about george pickings. They say, oh character concerns edc would never He would never But guess what didn't he sign dad's brian? And he signed that brian, this doctor concerns. I think he did Oh character concerns Who's the guy that I kept comparing george pickings to on defense? I said george pickings was the offensive version of this person Marcus peters had character concerns edc not only He went and traded for marcus peters traded for him So I don't want to hear about that character concern stuff Because that's false false george pickings would have been just fine He would have been just fine The character concerns that people were talking about was him getting into some fights on the field him I think That is so Marcus peters too him like spraying a water bottle in somebody's face That that ain't nothing but Marcus peters, man But and and so many ravens fans. Oh man, we miss Marcus peters Of course for his play, but we just miss his swagger. We miss his presence We miss his energy You wouldn't want that same energy on offense too If you if you saying you missed it, but then you saying oh well the ravens They shouldn't have drafted george pickings because he got character concerns Then you cannot say that you miss marcus peters So that sounds like a beautiful double standard to me buddy But anyway It is what it is. Um george pickings would have been great um and still as they they obviously have a history of doing a phenomenal job of drafting and developing Wide receivers. Hopefully the ravens can turn the page on that and we'll see what they do with the guys that they got now um But george pickings he's been doing nice and the thing with him. Um, he's been as advertised The same thing that he's known for excuse me I didn't even eat breakfast yet, but the same thing that he was known for in college It's transferring to the pros right now. He's known for making plays But known for running his mouth too, but he backs it up And of course the the talk of it all the training camp all george pickings this george pickings that what a crazy catch by george pickings Oh, man, he got another touchdown in training camp. He balled in training camp. You kept hearing this stuff But then it's like, all right. He's doing it in training camp. That's cool. Let's see what he does when it's a game He did the same thing in the game same thing in the game Even did a little tonio down tonio brown dance to a sound. Oh, okay, george pickings out there Because you hey, you know stealers fans there. They know who antonio brown is But i'm like man, wow That dude is he's doing it but then They were these ravens fans that are like, hey Ravens fans you guys aren't allowed to celebrate george pickings being successful You guys aren't allowed to acknowledge him being successful Oh, you want to cheer for george pickings? You want to talk about how good he is? Go be a stealer fan, buddy. And it's like it's not that serious. It's it's not it's not george pickings is balling right now And ravens gonna have to deal with that two times a year Two times a year at least could possibly be three if both teams make the playoffs and they match over each other But they're gonna have to deal with that two times a year So ravens they better come with it And again george pickings is being everything is advertised in this grid now another thing that a lot of ravens fans have done They try to be like oh Since you you you're you're you're celebrating george pickings doing good You're talking about how good george pickings is and that you wish we would have drafted them That means that you don't like our own guys No, that doesn't mean that at all That doesn't mean that That's what we talk about but like It there's a lot of ravens fans that just they look for things to be angry about and it's not worth it They look for reasons to be like hey I'm the best ravens fan that there is there was and there ever will be shout out to bread heart by the way And it's like You don't have to put your fandom against other ravens fans to try to show hey This is the real way to be a fan and you're not being a real fan Please no don't do that. It's it's not necessary. It's really not Seriously, it's not Stop policing how people fan stop please It's not worth it's not worth the energy. I promise you there's so many other things that you could be doing with that energy It's not worth it It's not worth it Just because a lot of ravens fans are acknowledging how well george pickings is doing Doesn't mean that oh man. They saying oh david a job old sucks Oh, man. Isaiah likely sucks Oh, man our draft picks up. No nobody's saying that Well, there probably is somebody out there saying it, but most people aren't saying that they just like all right Hey, we wish that we could have got george pickings, but they stay still gonna hope that the ravens guys do well too That that's it. That's it I wish we got it would have got george pickings, but they didn't okay. Cool. They didn't get them All right, they didn't get him. He would have been nice with the ravens. Okay, but they didn't get him You know, brother's wagon to the ravens on over and but hey, they didn't get them They didn't get them Okay, so let's hope the guys that the ravens do get and did get they could ball out But I do understand people's argument when specifically the pickings and a job oh Because best ability is availability and again, we know We feel bad for uh, david a job before happening to him It sucks It really sucks because it messed up everything for changed everything for um, but The bottom line is when when you're being straight up about it Pickings is on the field david a job. Oh, it's not and like we said earlier Every single draft pick is a question mark But the answers to george pickings questions are getting answered a lot faster than the david a job both questions That's it. That's it. They don't need to fight about anything. No need to go back and forth It is what it is All right, first question came from my guide terry next question came from my guide taren So I guess this like tear episode anyway He said you may want to read it all before responding. Oh, okay Here we go. You know how we could talk and get it. Anyway, is it angry even I know you have said that That you hold everyone accountable on the team, but I don't think that's the case. Uh-oh. Oh, it's another person But something's saying about me and that's okay. He said when have you ever criticized Lamar Jackson as much as you have a receiving court our offensive coordinator or tyler huntley You must not have been around last year You I you must not have been around last year I think um, this is uh Even earlier this off season we did a video specifically about Accountability people different people on the ravens from top to bottom being accountable specific on everybody We talked about steve bishadi. We talked about edc. We talked about john harbaugh. We talked about greg roman We talked about I think wink was still the defensive coordinator at that time So that's how early in the off season. It was we talked about Lamar Jackson Specifically we had sections for every single person Every single person and who else do we talk about then we talked about somebody else too, but we talked about it um as far as uh And I think oh and you brought up, uh, greg roman Well, yeah, we we be getting on greg roman because of his history And the reason that we get on greg roman because of his history is because history has not shown success for the wide receivers And see it's like a trickle down effect because you said oh you don't get on anybody as you don't get on the mall Like you get on a receiving court oc those two are tied in together for sure Because greg roman's offenses have shown aid the quarterback gonna take off quarterback gonna run And the running game the running game gonna run But the receivers they ain't gonna run like that. They ain't gonna get much burning. They ain't gonna get much There's not gonna be an emphasis put on those guys but then um With tyler huntley, I think with the tyler huntley I think you may have a little recency bias reason I say that is because Who was the quarterback That finished out the season for the ravens last year Who was the quarterback that played in the preseason this year? It's tyler huntley tyler huntley tyler huntley has been a quarterback that we've seen the most recently So maybe that's why you feel like I criticized tyler huntley Extra i've been criticizing him more like really get on tyler huntley like that even like in the preseason game We talked about the deep ball It was like hey, he threw one deep ball and it was just off the tip of benjamin victor's hands It's just a little bit too far But it's like okay. I also said it's preseason Is I said I ain't nobody gonna trip out over like over one pass It's preseason But anyway, let's keep going. He said obviously lemar is great But you never have any dissertations criticizing him throwing the ball into the ground not getting the ball out quick enough Missing targets because of inaccuracy, but you do criticize receivers for drops Even when the majority of their targets are catchers like lemar with passing Oh, I think I see what you're saying, but that that's wrong as well We we talked about oh man, we I think I wonder if you were only here Later in the offseason like more recently in the offseason I think that might be why you feel like that Because early in the offseason, especially like right when the season had finished we talked about that a lot We talked about um lemar making quicker decisions. We talked about him Needing to do more check down plays. We talked about him hitting guys in stride We talked something that we talked about and I'm so glad that it's happening too Something that we talked about that will make lemar so much better We'll take his game to another level. I said timing routes And back shoulder throw and now the back shoulder throws is coming in play, baby But now where where I do understand what I can understand you if you came here like In the the heat of this offseason because most of the lemar jackson talk that we've been doing on here Because the biggest thing that has been surrounding lemar jackson on here Is a lot of analysts and media guys continuing to doubt him and continuing to say he can't do this and he can't do that And there's been a lot of contract talking. What should he get? Does he deserve it? So we've been talking about that a lot on here So I could understand how you would feel this way and it's fine. It's fine But anyway He said tyler honey gets the ball out quickly with minimal inaccuracy for short and medium passes But suffers on the deep ball, but you knock him for his ability anytime he's brought up I don't knock him. I I I don't I don't knock tyler huntley I Again, but again, what let's keep going the ravens didn't stop doing ravens things when he came in They were still in nail biters only this time They didn't have the one miracle play to save the day like lemar was lucky enough to have while he was playing Oh, you talking about tyler huntley. Okay like okay, so he So so now it's um Did see that part That when when people do that the whole tyler huntley la bar thing and say oh tyler huntley did this thing and he did do his thing But he lost he lost La marge at the difference like you just said yourself. I ain't right this you wrote it like you just said yourself The ravens didn't stop doing ravens things when tyler huntley came in They were still in nail biters only this time They did not you said it you wrote it Not me They did not have the one miracle play to save the day like lemar You said it not me So you you you just you put lemar over tyler huntley you like you said it not you wrote it you wrote it your email not mine So you've acknowledged that hey lemar is better than tyler huntley lemar Won more than tyler huntley lemar made more plays than tyler huntley You wrote it ain't right this And and that that part right there That part for me was about a lot of people They know when they were saying i'm like what were you talking about when people were like oh, hey, hey Ravens you trade away lemar jackson and and keep tyler huntley It's like what? Yeah, anyway, let's keep going. He said when lemar is struggling is everyone else's fault, which is why now you are really pushing no excuses What? What? Oh, no, you must not know me my friend Again, again, if you if you knew here again, it's okay. It ain't no worries But like no if lemar has a bad game We will say lemar had a bad game lemar make a terrible decision We will say lemar made a terrible decision It ain't nothing like like man this season this season really need to come back around Because it sound like you tripping out this this season need to hurry and come back We need to see lemar on the field and hopefully lemar won't have no bad decision But he will it happens every quarterback has some bad decisions that he does like I remember the chief's game The chief's game And the chief I mean the ravens won that game and they're like, oh, yeah, let's go I we could talk about the browns game that little four interception game That was uh, uh, that was yugly yugly because it was yikes and ugly put together. It was yugly But anyway, um that chief's game. I remember, uh The the interception that he threw the second interception that he threw um Well, he was throwing a hollywood hollywood had like three dudes on What was that? Well, because a lot of times when I'm watching the game live watching lemar play live and he'll throw an interception or something He'll throw a bad play or it'll be a bad play and I'll be thinking Let me see the replay. So let me try to see what he saw. So they'll show from a different angle So I'm like, what what was that? Who what was he thinking? So yeah, we we get on lemar too Anyway, he said Excuse me Oh about what you were saying you are really pushing no excuses. No, I've wanted there to be no excuses Because I've wanted the Ravens to really provide lemar with the best of the best like a lot of other quarterbacks are getting And I feel like they haven't done that and I've said that a million times. Yeah, y'all already know Um, but that's it. Anyway, we'll keep going. He said Tyler Huntley was able to get a first possession touchdown something lemar struggled with for the entire season We talked about that a lot We talked about that all season had the offense would just come out so slow We talked about that all all season. I mean not all season all season But anyway, I said he also didn't turn over the ball to put us in holes that we had to come back from His defense was worse Then lemars. He did have trouble scoring touchdowns, but where are the g-roll and receiver criticisms when discussing that when we criticize Greg Roman when we criticize even receivers We talked about that. We talked about with the offense period I said from the 20 to the 20 thumbs up But once they get inside that 20, it's like, oh, here we go. That's what lemar. That's what Tyler Huntley when we talked about the drops too like hollywood, I remember um in the uh Oh the stillers game last game of the season Tyler Huntley moving the ball Ravens running the ball to get to the red zone. It's like, all right Tyler Huntley Put it on hollywood in the chest, baby, and hollywood said Come on Who's that on that's on hollywood? They don't know hunt They know Greg Roman. That was it wasn't a bad play call that then That was on hollywood. They got nothing to do with anybody else. Tyler Huntley gave you opportunity. He dropped it So we we get on everybody. Trust me. We talk about everybody respectfully, of course Not like disrespecting nobody none like that But everybody is nobody's above criticism. We always say that Nobody is above criticism at all because nobody's perfect Nobody is anyway. He said Um, I love lemar and I hate when the media constantly says he can't throw as if he hadn't had the most accurate 400-yard uh four touchdown passing game in NFL history or led the league in touchdown passes But I would love to see more honest and objective criticism of lemar rather than calling everyone around him sub par Just as though Oh, I think you meant just a thought just a thought keep doing what you're doing I appreciate you for making being a Ravens fan. Just that much more fun. Oh, yeah, again. Yeah Everybody everybody gets it everybody gets it. But then at the same time Well, what you were saying about everyone around lemar being sub par um Think about not and it's not that everybody around him is sub par. That's not the case um, but How does the team do when when lemar jackson is playing versus how does that how does the team do when he's not playing? Think about that and then we'll get back to it
