 First question on this episode came from my guy Jordan and team keep it clean. What's up, baby? I hope you're doing real real good because we are anyway He said do you think Pat Ricard is a bubble player for this coming season now before we get into this question? I got to give a special shout out to my guy KO Kevin. I'll strike her from locked on Ravens I am my guy Nitro from the wonderkin show shout out to the both of them Those are my guys, but they covered this before a few weeks back I know my guy KO covered and I think about a week ago my guy Nitro covered it So it was interesting hearing their thoughts on it, but now Jordan is asking me to share my own And he said do you think Pat Ricard is a bubble player for this coming season initially and he got more to say Initially when you hear that question you could think what Pat Ricard a bubble Why would Pat Ricard be a bubble player like see when I try to say it just now I wouldn't even it wouldn't even my mouth wouldn't even allow me to say that because it sounds so weird But then when you really think about like really think about it They keep bringing Ben Mason back. That's two years in a row. They brought Ben Mason back And I really thought last year when he brought Ben Mason back. I was thinking okay Well, I guess that might be the end for Pat Ricard with the Ravens next year But no he's still there, but then you also think about the comments from Todd Munkin Todd Munkin in his introductory press conference He spoke about how fullbacks just aren't used like that anymore They didn't and it's true We know that like Ravens are one of the few teams that still even carry a fullback And we expect this offense to be changing a lot We still expect him to run them, but we expect them to do a lot more passing So if you're doing a lot more passing then Pat Ricard even though we always call him why I receive a one I think that could actually change this year So if they're doing a lot more passing then his role could be even more limited and and he's on Not a significant contract like it ain't like he making no crazy money but still Ravens could cut some corners and save some bread by Releasing him and you know Ravens like I know man, but anyway, let's continue with his next part of the question He said although I don't see the offense going to 90% passing under Todd Munkin Like some may think I do question his usage Ravens are one of the only two teams that really use a fullback in NFL The other team being the 49ers and where they get their fullback from I know, you know shout out the juice He said there may be another one I don't know, but they the position has died out the Ravens can still run very well without him in That's a really good question man really really good question And I mean we said the same thing that I should have read everything that he wrote before I started running my mouth But y'all know how it goes anyway shout out to you Jordan appreciate the question That's a tough one that that's a really tough one but because it's like Would with the Ravens just keep him around just to have him as as an option because you could go a much cheaper out and been mason Now been mason obviously has improved himself in the NFL yet like Pat Ricard has you know what Pat Ricard can do You know what he's capable of if I'm the Ravens, I'm keeping them I'm keeping them this year cuz it's like I like might as well Might as well you got them goal line packages and whatnot and you could use them on some short down short down short yardage downs and whatnot so Like I'm keeping them what what's another I mean? I'm not sure exactly how much cutting him would save what maybe like one or two meals I know it ain't nothing crazy but I'm keeping them around because He again the short yardage game goal line third and one When you just want to straight up line it line it up and you want him to just knock somebody on their behind So he can lead the way for JK Dobbins or Gus Edwards or Keaton Mitchell or Justin whoever it may be Even some cases for Lamar Okay, keep Pat Ricard cuz you know what you got already me again y'all y'all know how I feel I'm trying to have the best roster that I possibly can the best roster. I wanted to be the strongest I wanted to be OP Overpowered I wanted I wanted to go crazy So if it's me I'm keeping Pat Ricard if I'm thinking like the Ravens are thinking I think they keep Pat Ricard because they also love Pat Ricard now We know they got some players that they love before that they still got rid of but I think Pat Ricard I think his spot is safe Right in Keep it clean welcome to another episode of questions from selves Well, you can ask any question you want to you want to be part of it You can send an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com or for the team keep it clean patrons And special shout out to the newest team keep it clean Patron my guy Harold and my guy Jason appreciate y'all a lot I just appreciate all the patrons if y'all would like to send a quote Y'all don't have to send an email y'all know y'all VIP status over here, baby For the team keep it clean patrons if you want to send a question you just send it directly on Patreon straight like that man now next question it came from my guy Stanley He said do you notice how the media is starting to create a narrative of Lamar Jackson not having any excuses when I never really heard him Make any excuses. Oh, yeah, you know the money ain't ever gonna make any excuses He ain't ever gonna say oh man. Well, it could have been like that Oh, it should have been like you never hear him say anything like that Now what the media is saying is that they like a now look Ravens got you some receivers now, man That's what a lot of fans been talking about because we sure have been because Raven just they had not been But they like a Ravens got you some receivers that they got your Odell Beckham, Jr. Proving. You still got Rashad Bateman He's like half proven. We know what he could do. Just got to put it all together It's there they drafted say flowers in the first round. You got Nelson Aguilar You still got Devin DuVernay and if he's used the right way he could do some stuff You got um Laquan Treadwell, and they they like you got like what five first round picks a wide receiver. No excuses, buddy but um So now it's all good man. It's all good like I Yeah, yeah, they are creating a narrative that Lamar has no excuses But hey if everybody could stay healthy to know they on any they could get this thing done, man They like I really really believe that if Ravens can beat the biggest enemy that they've been facing for the past couple years that being health They can get it done. They can really go all the way all the way because Time and time we've seen it like if Lamar is healthy if he's going Ravens can rock with in knee by D Any team any roster any squad any quarterback receiver defense what anybody if Lamar is there they can rock with anybody Now you can't always do it alone. We can't do it alone It's obviously football the ultimate team sport, but if Lamar is healthy, they got a shot so Yeah, I got get it. I ain't mad at that at the commentators and all that say oh, yes No excuses for why I ain't mad at that. Okay, whatever. So let let there be none Ravens got enough of what they need to get it done. Hey, they would add more though Be my guest next question came from my guy Cedarian. He said and Raven hope you and the fam are doing great Oh, yeah, we're doing real good. He said just wanted to say that I'm really excited about the Ravens moves It while I receive this offseason as I type this the Ravens have five first rounders and two Super Bowl champs in the room I can see Lamar getting career highs and all passing categories this season, especially under Todd Munkin. I Agree I can see that as well I think a lot of that or a lot of us can see that with 17 game schedule them being Expected to pass a lot more, especially how they've made significant investments at the Y receiver position We could definitely see that Lamar being another year older another year of experience in the league And now him him having some receivers that have experienced everything in the league being first-round picks winning Super Bowls that being a Odell Beckham, Jr. Nelson Agalore This like yeah, man, it's it's just time Anyway, he said but one thing that has been in Achilles heel for this team is getting past the divisional round You all right Even during the Ravens last Super Bowl run the divisional round was still the toughest game It required a mile-high miracle and the second overtime to get the victory Unfortunately, the divisional round has been the Raven ceiling since then Whoo because When they cuz Flacco Flacco then made the playoffs after the Super Bowl they made it in 2014 They is that the is that when they beat the Steelers is that when they let they whooped up on the Steelers And then they lost to the Patriots in that crazy game I think that was that 2015 everybody's heard 2016. I don't think they made playoffs 2017 They make playoffs. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they got kicked that that that was that 2017 was a fourth and 12 the bingos game 2018 Lamar Jackson so into him Then they they lost that playoff game against the Chargers after playing them like two weeks prior and not changing anything 2019 I was 14 and 2 They got home field advantage, but then they got beat up on by the Titans in that playoff game at the crib then 2020 They beat the Titans because their whole offseason was remember the Titans and they built their team to beat the Titans after that they played the Beals in a divisional round and then They Lost that's when Lamar got concussed when Pat McCartney. He got jealous of playing quarterback So he wanted to play quarterback and he wanted Lamar to be a Rewire receiver So he overthrew Lamar Lamar They had to go run and get the ball and then he got landed on his head then 2021 No, they did not make the playoffs. They had that's when Lamar got hurt and they just yeah They started off so hot and then 2022 Was last year started off high Lamar got hurt Tyler Holy was the playoff guy low expectations for all of us, but yeah But the game was really close. So anyway, yeah, so yeah, appreciate that those reminders anyway, I said, oh, okay He listed it. I should have just read my fault He said 2014 divisional round lost to the Patriots 2018 division around lost to the Titans. Well, no, that was 2019 but anyway 29 then he said 2019 division around lost to the bill that was the 2020 season, but it's all good He said I don't want to get too deep into this But that's always been my benchmark to see if the Ravens are really a Super Bowl team I mean, you got to win in the playoffs period if you really a Super Bowl team like that Obviously, that's when it counts the most regular season is what gets you there in position To make it to the Super Bowl but playoffs is that's when everything's on the line That's when everything counts that much more So Ravens they better come with it this year And the last question on this episode came from my guy Manuel He said what if Ola and Raven shout out from Mexico? I know we're all speculating on the Ravens offensive potential And we know what our defense can bring now on the McDonald shout out to the McTrio on the weekend But what if we end up seeing a repeat of Super Bowl 47 and this time instead of the light score out The game is over like Georgia has done the past two years in their championship games in 2022 Georgia won 33 to 18 And in 2023 65 to seven that Was under Todd Monk and so how do you think the score will go if we face San Fran in the Super Bowl PS The multiple Super Bowl MVP caught a number one pick overall in 2040 so And I think the score will go if we played San Francisco in the Super Bowl Hey, look, I don't even care what the score as long as Raven as long as when the clock is zero at the end of the game Ravens had more points in the 49. Hey, I'm good. Whatever Score could be 27 26 35 288 to 7th. I don't care what the score as long as Ravens had more points. That's fine with me You
