He said was having Raven been a while Hope all is well with you and the fam My question is do you envision a signing by Baltimore and know he wasn't talking about Jalen Smith or Stefan Gilmore from yesterday He said I'm thinking for the offensive line We're gonna get Stanley and Phillips back at some point this season and right now we're kind of plugging playing in people I know the Ravens love versatility in their players, but you always Say this phrase play them to their strengths or the play I'm suggesting is Rick Wagner He knows the Ravens organization and how they operate and knows what it means to play like a Raven and most importantly He's a natural right tackle to be honest. I like McCarrey and Alejandro, but I don't see them in Baltimore beyond this season What are your thoughts also? Hope we can do business in the future. You and the fam stay safe appreciated Brian um Rick Wagner, I would I would be a little worried and maybe this is me looking too much into it, but I know that he was Considering retirement So I know and I've seen a lot of players a lot of football players say it when you start considering retirement You're still thinking about it. Oh, it's gonna happen sooner or later. Like that's why I don't expect Jimmy Smith after this Yeah, I don't expect him to be back. I think he's gonna go ahead and hang it up But with Rick Wagner know I've heard about Rick Wagner read about people saying Mitchell Schwartz, too But I just with Mitchell Schwartz I'm not sure if he's fully healthy right now But with Rick Wagner, I would just be worried that he Maybe he might not be in the best of shape if he was considering retirement because if you're considering like hanging it up You might be relaxed and you might be chilling like, okay, well, I ain't got to work out today I'm gonna take today off. I'm gonna take it easy But Rick Wagner, I would just I'll be worried about that. How would you feel about Rick Wagner Ken? Especially with him having been here before Yeah, I I loved Rick Tackle as I loved Rick Wagner as a right tackle in Baltimore And you know if it really is a case of it has he kept the weight on in a lot of ways a lot of offensive linemen They immediately lose weight as soon as you retire, you know, we say Marshall Yanda biking doesn't even look like the same guy I mean, that's that's not a guy who's ever coming back Mitchell Schwartz is another guy who's lost a ton of weight And so I don't I don't think he's a guy who's who's gonna be coming back or if he does it would take time Part of the problem with the whole NFL this year is that just re-assimilating Players to your own building takes time with the COVID protocols And so you can't have an immediate answer and then you're asking yourself Wait a minute is Ronnie Stanley may be gonna be back in three weeks And then I only have this guy for one and so does this seem reasonable and you know people I think a lot of GM's are balking at that the Ravens are good They have four offensive tackles on the practice squad They got to find two of those actually that work and try and play them. I honestly I don't believe Andre Smith is the answer But you know, maybe it's maybe it's another guy in the practice squad that that can really help them Like David Sharp, maybe what is the other guy is not Not odd and Ely was his name Adrian Adrian Ely He's he's still on the practice squad, right? He's still there. So on the practice squad And he's a developmental player a right tackle who's got some real You know good ability to push what we've seen from him in the preseason Highly you got to consider context because he's only played about the last 15 20 snaps of some games And he looked great then but you know, I think I think you need to consider context with him and He'll he'll I don't nobody's taken him so far, which is a little surprising to me But then again when you take somebody from another team's practice squad now you have to elevate them And also you have to process them. So yeah The next question on this episode of questions from subscribers came from my guy Brandon J He said ain't gravy. There's no over here with two questions I saw last time my questions were too wordy. So I'll keep these two shorter. It's all good Brandon No worries number one Obviously, we have williams and some running backs off of yesteryear on harasta My question may be premature, but next year we get back gust edwards. We get back jk Dobbins and we get back justice hill Real quick before we get into this question question that I have for you because it was something that I was confused on With justice hill, they did the uh the waived injured reserve to justice hill How does that work? You know, I'm not the person to ask that question to but if justice If justice hill went only to injured reserve meaning he stayed on the roster and he went to injured reserve Then he's still under contract for his fourth year I didn't I I guess I'm not exactly familiar that they did a waived injured reserve Which might mean that they terminated his contract put him on injured reserve And then I don't know what his status is for for 2022 Yeah, I have to look that up because I was I was super confused on that Um, yeah, it's just weird And he said do you think that any of these current running backs as far as gust jk and justice hill? Do you think that any of these current running backs will remain with us? next year Oh, and okay, I think he's he means the uh the guys like levy on bill the elder statesmen. Yeah So from what I've seen so far I think Latavius Murray is is probably a low percentage chance to be around next year You know power back, but I think he does a lot of things that the other backs do in particular that that Guess I guess edwards does but I don't see any hope for freeman I think he's he looks like he's done to me bell looked surprisingly good in that second app Both as a blocker and as a runner So I'm interested to see what he still has left left in the tank and I'm shocked that they Sat down tyson for a week. Obviously they're concerned about the fumbles, but You know the raven's offense needs a speed back in order to really have the full playbook open And if you're not going to have williams by the way, I think you really got to use use Duvernay as a running back or as a as a jet motion option Uh, because I think otherwise you really don't have the full set of threatening the field. I apologize for the dog barking here No, that's fine. That's fine. Um, and yeah, uh that them sitting tyson Williams last week I was really confused about that because I was for sure since we all knew levy on bell. He was he when he got activated We knew he was going to play but I was 1 000 percent sure. I'm like, okay It's going to be levy on bell It's going to be letavious murray because he's been getting a lot of action too And it's going to be tyson williams and divante freeman He's going to be the one that they sit because they're not going to have four running backs active And they got to sit somebody so it's going to be freeman. Why not? But when they Had tyson williams uh inactive I was like, oh, okay that I didn't see that coming I didn't agree with it either. I didn't see it coming because he Yeah, those guys they don't have that burst like tyson williams and like you mentioned. Yeah, the fumbles have been a concern um, but still I just I I didn't see that coming at all. Uh, and as far as next year, I um Levy so much depends obviously on how the rest of the season goes, but yeah freeman. I don't see him coming back uh, letavious murray I Just I don't see it because I don't think especially at this point in his career. Um I don't think that he'll want to take Third place as a running back as just a reserve option because You get you're getting gusts and jk back and and of course you hope that would just gusts and jk that when they do Come back that there are no setbacks. You got to see how they uh, their body responds to the injuries and how they can bounce back and whatnot. Um, but Yeah, I just I really don't see them as of right now. I don't see any of them coming back But again, everything depends on how this season goes and how they respond to the injury Now the second part of his question. He said i'm not gonna lie I've been impressed with greg roman's play calling this year, but I do see one issue We have major issues on third down I would love to hear your thoughts on this and can it be changed with coaching? Getting back players that were on injuries or or is it a mental thing? Keep up the good work and hopefully you and the family doing well and as always Keep it clean Now there was a stat. I don't know if you know the stat off the top of your head But there was a stat that they kept showing during the broncos. Yep But the ravens were like Some crate like two for 19 or something crazy. I forget what it was On Yeah, it's like third down and six or seven or more and they were they were I think starting the game. They were one of 17 one of 18 something like that and then they they might have converted one during the game Um, that's really a reflection of the offensive tackles more than anything It's not Lamar's having a great year throwing the ball. Um on first and second down their play action is all available to Lamar and he's been very effective with that Um on third down when the when the other teams are pinning their ears back that exposes the ravens tackle problems to the greatest possible degree And you know, it makes it makes it more difficult and teams have been willing Uh to take more chances rushing the ravens specifically the broncos. That was the most extreme Rush game Jackson's ever faced but not only that I think maybe any raven is ever faced Even flacco was you know, a guy who wanted to stay in the pocket didn't really like to be moved He was never rushed at a 70 rate in one game 70 five plus From the Denver Broncos in this game just really unusual I'm going to say one more thing. It was disturbing That when you look at the yards per play, it got worse with every additional rusher But I'll tell you it's it's off the top I had when they rushed four he threw for 9.8 yards per play when he rushed five he threw for 8.5 yards per play All both good when they rushed six and they did that a lot He rushed for 6.1. Sorry through for 6.1 yards per play And when they rushed seven he threw for 3.0 yards per play on five Five five plays five seven man rushes in a game, you know, right there. That's telling you they're keying in on something They like about that Hmm. That's well those those some powerful numbers. I'm scary numbers, too And um, it almost makes you think like Because you know if You have access to those numbers, you know the coaching staff has access. Oh, yeah And future coaching staffs will have access to those numbers as well um Because yeah, it's a copycat league and if something works against the ravens and other teams are going to do it And I don't know if uh, the broncos they watched that lions game and they were like, oh, you know what? this is how you stop their running game because Lions did overall. I know the ravens still ran for over 130 yards I forget the exact number that they ran for in the lions game, but Even with that it was still uh, not one of their better russian performances against the lions And then the broncos it it came down to that final play for them to even get over 100 yards So with that, um, you almost wonder if the coats are like, okay So this is how you stop that ravens running game But let's do it. Now, of course, you still got the passing game now, too Um, but you almost wonder if the coats are looking at what Denver did With russian six and russian seven and russian more To sort of mess with the ravens passing game, which has been really successful over the past overall Has been really successful over the past couple of weeks Yeah, I mean, I think that's a real possibility and and the coats if you go back to the jamal luis era The coats were one of the teams that knew they were small upfront So what they did is they did a lot of run blitzing and so denver effectively by playing These extremely tight Set piece formations, which means they're their front seven guys are all very tight to the line of scrimmage It they yeah, they had some eight man box too and that helped to get justin simmons in there and making some plays But the the thing that really I really noticed about it is it was like watching super bowl five again In terms of having those linebackers so close to the line of scrimmage play after play after play And when they're willing to do that and and shoot gaps with it directly That creates this very high risk high reward structure on every play that flakko has to throw I sorry flakko jackson has to throw to beat it But but he had but he uh, also is taking chances to do so And so what what I think they're going to really need to do to make sure other teams Don't do the same thing that the broncos did is really have good check plays for lemar at the line of scrimmage So if he sees blitz he can check to a very quick slant pass or other pass that will get the ball out of his hands quickly And then they're they're also going to have to have More help and more inline blocking Even than they've had so far so they're going to have to be willing to have some two man and three man patterns Which normally I don't think that you want to limit the number of those that you have in a game very Very strictly to essentially a two man Two men kept in is what you would call max protect And you don't want to have Eight of those in a game if you have three if you have four that's okay But but you really want to limit the total number you have
