I appreciate you all again like always say always appreciate all the conversation and Again, whether we agree whether we disagree It's all good because it's all love. I always appreciate Hearing other people's opinions on stuff. I always appreciate hearing how you guys think on different subjects Whatever it whatever it is that we're talking about always appreciate it always appreciate the feedback always appreciate Again the dialogue the conversation the back and forth as long as it's respectful if it's not respectful No, we don't appreciate that but if it's respectful we do team keep it clean great questions as always Let's do it First question came from my boy Roger. He said hey, what's up man been listening to you for a while now I like the content keep up the good work. Hey appreciate that Ross. Thank you. This is my first question ever So here it goes. I know everyone is saying get rid of the Sean Elliott But I think we should keep him and change his position. Oh, well, I mean Raven ain't got to get rid of him He's a free agent But let's let's hear about this position change Patrick Queen struggles and coverage a lot So why couldn't we re-sign Elliott and move him to middle linebacker sort of like a hybrid role like Neil did with the Cowboys Okay, okay, I got kind of like where this is going He is already about safety with better coverage and instinct skills and would make our defense faster Yes, he would if he was at that linebacker role And around the box because obviously they got Marcus Williams To play deep but you have the Sean Elliott around the box and that's somebody who you know He ain't scared like he ain't scared of contact with anybody and We need that like more. I know they re-signed Tony Jefferson and he'll probably have like Sort of a Levine role, but maybe not quite. Maybe special teams or some defense and whatnot, but um We'll see how he does Being back. Um, I know his coverage skills are not the best What Tony Jefferson speaking of but um, I wonder if the Ravens I wonder if they thought about it like with the Sean Elliott I wonder if they thought about and obviously he wouldn't be a starter. That's Marcus Williams You don't pay the dude all that money in heaven. Well, you know what you're sit on the bench. No, um, I Wonder if they thought about the Sean Elliott being sort of that that Anthony Levine role To where they use them in different packages and whatnot. He's sort of the He's sort of the I don't say the backup to all the backups, but He's sort of that Not even necessarily Swiss Army knife guy, but if they just had him in something like that We have him involved in like different packages and whatnot Put him at some different places on the field playing that safety sometimes playing that line back or move them around I have him rush to pass it like did with Anthony Levine. So I wonder if they would do that with him But as far as this middle linebacker role That would be something I Wouldn't be mad at that. I really wouldn't because again, he he can tackle He's a good tackler and again very very physical and fast He got some good speed to him too he would add some speed to the linebacker position and He would not be afraid to be physical with those tight ends now My only concern because I don't remember how he was in Like man coverage I know some defense sometimes they play zone sometimes they play man I don't know how he would how he is when it comes to like following like if you got a follower tight end If you got no not follow if you got a cover tight end. I just Cannot remember how he was with that So that would be something that we would need to be mindful of whether it's good or bad because I again I just don't remember He said he is already a box safety with better coverage and instinct skills and would make our defense faster Everyone always talks about our lack of pass rush, but that's He said well, that's because they're all old and slow Houston Campbell Ford McPhee etc We needed overall team speed athleticism and skill on defense just my thoughts hope you and your family have a good one Appreciate that, Raj. Um, I Wouldn't be mad if they did that We still on Bobby Wagner watch, so we'll see what happens with him, but I wouldn't be mad if they did that just had him as a sort of Just a crazy roll guy a guy with like different roles and whatnot a guy that you could sort of plug-and-play guy Like I the shine this way we need you at on this play this way We need you in this in this defense this way we need you in this situation. Can you do it for us? He probably tell the Ravens. No next question came from my guy saying he said a engraving's been a long time You got a question for me, but I got five question five question five Here we go Number one if we can afford Tyron Matthew or Bobby Wagner should we go after him trade or trade our picks for him or Bobby Wagner you ain't got to trade no pigs, baby They both free agents, so you ain't even got to worry about none of that. They are both free agents, so It's up to the Raven, but I would say Bobby Wagner for sure because they already signed that safety They got their safety of the future and hopefully everything works out wonderfully Cuz it doesn't go hell it went with the last safety as long as Morgan Williams ain't swinging on Chuck Clark Everything will be a okay. He said number two J. C. Treta is a need or Tyron Matthew Bobby Wagner is a need Well, I would say for the Ravens Yeah, I'm starting to really think about this Patrick McCary thing and it does seem like he may be what they do at the center position But depending on how the Ravens feel then yeah either J. C. Treta or Bobby Wagner will be a need Tyron Matthew would not be a need at all Because again, they got Marcus Williams number three. How's your family? Oh, they're doing good. They doing really good I appreciate that number four should we go after a left tackle that is young if God forbid Ronnie Stanley gets hurt again. Yes Yes mm-hmm Ravens have to prepare as if Ronnie Stanley is not coming back And they also have to prepare as if Ronnie Stanley will go down and miss time because he has went down Every single season in his career. I'm pretty sure he's missed some time every single year and Some seasons a lot more time than others. So stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready number five When are you playing Madden on YouTube again, uh, probably never No, cuz again, yeah, cuz if any y'all that don't know that's how I actually started YouTube I started YouTube playing Madden and then We started talking about the Ravens different stuff with the team and whatnot and then I just fell in love with that and After that Madden just got to the point for me Where? Recording it and making the videos on it. It just wasn't fun anymore and this worked out next question came from a boy Phil He said a engraving want to get your thoughts on this now I know it's Lamar's decision not to have an agent But if he did do you think he would get a nice size contract by now and it would have been negotiated and signed No, I don't think so. I think that the dialogue or whatever the dialogue is or is not We don't really know that Eric Acosta has said his stuff publicly, but Lamar hasn't said anything and If he had an agent in and his agent could put out stuff like the Ravens be putting out stuff and The his agent could put his own spin on things. He could leak stuff to reporters and whatnot But he ain't got no agent. So everything is in house So Lamar knows what's going on Eric Acosta, and they know what's going on We can only think of What could possibly be going on but in my opinion, no, I don't think he would have even if he would have had the agent I don't think he would have had a deal by now He said my point is do you think Lamar understands if he lets his contract run out with his fifth year option? Only worth 23 mil and does not come to an agreement before free agency in 2023 They would tag him they could That is a huge possibility. It's been talked about a lot as far as them tagging him then tagging him again So we'll see now. He said Now I saw the 2022 QB tag was worth 29.7 mil where it will probably go up a few mil next season But do you think Lamar knows if he's tagged he'll be making nearly 10 million less than a regular franchise quarterback contract Which is 40 to 45 million Are you sure that that's how much it is The franchise tag is the it's the average of the top five highest paid Quarterbacks and I wonder if you were looking at a different tag Because it's there's no way it is no way that it's that low. Well, no, no, no, you said the 29 mil that's for this season Okay, so you're telling the 35 even that no Because my home's he got here now the Sean Watson the Sean Watson with a 45 mil per Patrick my home's I believe he's at 45 mil per Josh Allen is at like 43 mil per Dak Prescott is that I think 40 mil per So even whoever the next highest paid quarterback which oh and Rod and Rod is at 50. He's at 50 So no Lamar straight. He's straight With the friend that with the franchise tag. Yeah, it's not guaranteed. I mean, no, it is guaranteed It's guaranteed for that one year in that one year only But yeah, he Will be just straight man, he wouldn't be making no 10 mil less than average. No, he will be making a Good amount of money whatever the average is of the 50 mil 45 45 43 and 40 and maybe if I miss somebody Maybe I did but he will be straight for that year. But again, it doesn't provide the long-term Stability But I'm sure if Lamar was like, uh, I ain't feeling the Ravens so right now I just I don't want to commit to them right now. Then I'm sure he would be a okay With the franchise tag next question came from a boy daddy game. He said a great one. I hope you're well, bro I got a question for you. How come you think the Ravens will draft the wide receiving the first three rounds I see so many good wide receiver prospects, but with our current wide receiver room Would they really go out and draft another guy? Hope to hear your thoughts on this stuff. Take it easy. Appreciate it, man now The only way that I feel like this could change I don't feel like it will but the only way that I feel like this could change was if the Ravens went and Snatched up a superstar wide receiver or even if it wasn't a superstar wide receiver if they got a Marcus Williams type of wide receiver on Offense Because the real and what I mean when I say that a Marcus Williams type of receiver Obviously not a receiver that plays corner or defensive back But Marcus Williams, he Is a good safety. Is he a great safety? No, it's a good safety though and he has the potential to be great and he's up and coming and He's not old and washed up and he's really entering his prime And he shows you that he can really play in this league and he's really established a name for himself in this league Is he a household name right now? No, he's not not yet But he has that potential to be and as long as he don't swing on Chuck then everything will be okay But that's the this that's the type of guy that I will want the Ravens to get but Well, if if they don't do that if they don't trade or sign somebody who's like that Then this still stands, but that's the only thing that will change them drafting or receiving the first three rounds Miles Boykin Unfortunately, I don't think he's gonna be with the Ravens this year. I don't And after they are clearly invested in Hollywood They are clearly invested in Rashad Bateman, but after that They don't have any clear investments. They got potentials. They got some potential guys You see potential with James crochet, but Ravens. They ain't enjoy doing on they don't know James crochet like that Again, and I hate to keep bringing it up But we got to remind people like hey this dude despite it being a beat down loss He caught seven passes for 76 yards versus the Bengals And it's like oh wow, okay, or will be a fifth or sixth round pick I forgot what round he got drafted in but they feel oh man James crochet caught all those passes for all those yards Wow Okay, we lost the game, but you know what man? He showed us some stuff What are we gonna do with him next game? I an active Then he was an active again They're not invested in him and I know a lot of fans like oh James crochet James crochet and I'm like yeah Jane crochet, you know that boy can catch he can catch but Ravens down look at him like that Ravens don't care about no Jane crochet, man. I hate to say it like that But it's real they've they've shown you that do their actions. They don't care about him like that We look at Tylen Tylen Wallace is tough because he was a rookie last year and then on that fake punt He got hurt. He was in there for a couple plays, but he had a whole lot in front of him, too But being a fourth round pick It's scary, you know fourth round pick a wide receiver for the Ravens. That's scary stuff right there That's scary stuff Devin Duvenay Devin Duvenay named the Ravens like him as a Sort of a weapon not really as a wide receiver though sort of a weapon And they didn't they didn't even play him to his strengths I mean, that's a big issue It just had a Raven play a lot of their wide receivers. They don't play them to their strengths they don't put them in Positions to where the receivers can take advantage of their skill sets and That that's an issue in itself But again, if the Ravens don't Trade for somebody or sign somebody who is again the markets Williams on offense Then yeah first three rounds for sure Because this will be them and I think it would be like a big guy Big guy no Bateman like six little Bateman like six one six foot six one But a big guy with some good speed So I think a six three six four guy, but somebody who's liked that in college now I know I keep hearing. Oh, yeah, this this draft class is loaded with talent wide receiver. Okay All right, cool You got jizzy Drake Drake London. Okay, cool because he little shifted He got some like underrated speed for a big man there like he reminded me He reminds me of a Antoine Wesley To where I remember when the Ravens first signed him as a hundred was it Antoine Wesley? No Yeah, Antoine Wesley, I think that's the one who went to the Cardinals, right to where he um, he's tall He's tall, but it was shifted anything. It's like, okay See you So that that would be nice because what we need at wide receiver is Yack We need yack and that's part of being a playmaker getting yack Not just catching the ball and going down. I just catching the ball No, no you catch the ball making somebody miss catching the ball breaking attack him catching the ball and in stride and just hitting it To the end zone That's what we need when I talk about play making is it's already above Ravens need that in a major way Because that we keep talking about everybody making everybody else's job that much easier when it comes to offense If they if we like got more yak because that's something that the Ravens. Oh my goodness They've been struggling in yak for for a long time a very long time Because it's like Ravens with a lot of their passes It's even on if it's a deep pass then that deep pass once it's caught. It's either a touchdown It's not much yak involved. When do we see that stuff? When do we see it? When do we see a short pass in this? Oh, they hit it. Oh, they went crazy with it When do we see a deep like again for a deep pass when it's caught? It's usually like all right It's caught in the end zone and that's not a bad thing for that But that the yak has been missing for a long time like consistently. It's here and there But it's been missing overall from Ravens offense for a while So they need some real yards after the catch guys because it's it's been a problem So that's that's what I would be looking for in a wide receiver for the Ravens Somebody that can add to that because again Bateman you you see it there You see it there Hollywood you see it there. You see it there, but we just need more Need a lot more So the man juice like I remember what was it again last year with man juice like dragging all the Browns like down the field When he caught up he caught up. What was it the chiefs? Oh, was it both? Oh, was it the Colts? I don't know. It was one of them three teams Maybe two of those three teams or maybe all three when man juice like dragging I think it was the Browns though, but um, we just need we need more of that But yes, why receiving the first three rounds and the last question on this episode came from my boy, Rodeo He said put your cap on. Oh good evening missing Graven I'm not here to bug you today, but instead of sign you a mission if you accept this mission keep reading If not disregard and go to the next subscribers question. Okay No, let's keep going your assignment today is to plan Essentially four hours worth of your best pitch to a free agent real or imaginary free agent Your free agent is arriving at 12 p.m. And leaving Baltimore at 4 p.m Your job is to tell us how your pitch to a free agent would go number one. Where would you take them first? Oh? goodness I would probably take them to Jimmy's seafood reason Because they have really good drinks Jimmy's seafood that their drinks are really good The the whole crab cakes thing it's so funny when you see people say man Like I seen it on to a lot like that people would be like, oh man Raven's got to be able to offer something besides free free crab cakes but I will go there and I'll be like all right. Hey Jimmy's we got this potential free agent coming through Hook us up and I'll be like, hey, I'm I'm getting a free meal too So I am trying to get get fed to and if I ain't got to pay for a and it's good food to the chain gotta pay for Oh, yeah, I'll be with it all days are like hook this potential free agent up and I'm getting hooked up too But yeah, and the vibe there is nice. I like the um, I like the outside see them I love it out there because it's it's chill. They don't they don't be bugs because it's not by the water It is outside though, but yeah, I like the outside see them I like how like that that dark gray or black the walls that just it's like a simple simple decoration But it's effective. It gets the job done The service there is pretty good and again if the food is good too. The food is very good, too I really like their their lamb their lamb is really good And if the the free agent if he likes crabs or crab cakes, you already know what time it is But yeah, that's what I will take them. All right second part What's your sale? Cuz it sure ain't money My sale We're talking off offense or defense defense. Oh, yeah, we got it all day defense. Hey, I'm sure you're familiar with array Lewis, I'm sure you're familiar with a read I'm sure you're familiar with loading out of Tyrell Suggs Even guys that didn't have the same name as a lot of the the Baltimore Raven greats on defense They still not only made a name for themselves in Baltimore, but they made a name for themselves in the NFL they ended up becoming established players and they not only had success with the Ravens on defense but even After they left the Ravens, they still continue to have success Throughout their careers and ended up getting some of the biggest contracts of their lives So depending on the age of this player this that conversation can go either way because we could either be talking about Him playing for Ravens for a couple years and moving on or him retiring as a raven So if it's like somebody older veteran guy like hey you You've already made your name in this league Why not go out with a bang? With one of the teams that prides itself on defense You know that you would be valued as a member of the Baltimore Ravens You know that the the fans they will love you And you know we pride ourselves on defense last year We took a step back But if you could be a part of this organization with ushering in a sort of new era on defense We had had wink here for a while and we love winking We wish him well over there with the Giants accept the game that we played on this year But we had wink over here for the longest, but we're now bringing in Mike McDonald So you as a veteran player what your job can be is to help usher in this new offense We got some young guys on defense. I mean usher in this new defense We got some young guys on defense. You're a veteran player You could help show them the way they would definitely respect you because your resume speaks for itself And that would that would be all that would need to be said You would be a cornerstone piece and what this defense could be Over these next couple of years and we want you to be a special part of that's what I was telling me for the now offense Maybe G-Roll might be out of here after this year so next year it will be might be better for you might next year might be straight But now an offense on an offense. I think will be a much harder sale Because I'm depending on the position If it's wide receiver Oh boy, I would have to make some empty promises Tell him like hey, we're trying to really change what we do on offense We're trying to really shift what we do on offense and I'm sure you're familiar with Mark East Brown you're familiar with for Shaw Bateman But we're missing just somebody like you You would be an excellent compliment to both of those receivers. We also have Mark Andrews I'm sure you're familiar with him as well Yeah, one of the best tight ends in the league and was the best Titan in the league last year if you recall Under Lamar Jackson When he was still healthy and he wasn't even fully healthy last year So we didn't even get to see a full Lamar Jackson, but under Lamar Jackson We were one of the top passing offenses in the league last year And we didn't have our top three running backs all of them were injured our offensive line was banged up And we still managed to be a top passing offense in the league last year Just imagine the possibilities if we could add you to that add you to what we were banking on last year But unfortunately due to injuries everything came crashing down. Do you want to be a part of that? We would love you here and we would we just really want a sort of culture shift not even a culture change but a culture shift to where The fans know what to expect from us on defense But we want them to really be able to expect something from the offense that is that much more That much more and if you could be a part of that we would love it Here finish your crab cake. So that's what I would do for them One bad thing about One bad thing about Baltimore hmm Um Now sometimes Some of our coaches can be a little arrogant They can be a little stuck in their ways and they may not want to adapt as quick as we would like them to but Hopefully if if you your voice is respected your voice would be respected in a locker room and among the coaching staff to You you seem approachable and our coaches they can be approachable for the most part as well I'm sure your voice will be heard So you'll be able to especially as a veteran in this league you've seen this and been there done that So you will be able to share exactly what you're seeing with our coaching staff So hopefully they can implement some of the things and changes that you see so that will be the bad thing Number four why they shouldn't pass on Baltimore You shouldn't pass on Baltimore because we're close. We're very close and we want you to be part of this opportunity You see that quarterback over there? Yeah, I'm sure you heard of him before number eight. Yeah, he's something very special but so is this entire football team and If you want to be part of something special We want you to be part of it and we want you to help us get over that hump because we're close We're right there and we've been right there for the past couple years But we just seem to be missing something and you could be a part of that of what we miss And he said number five etc. So I guess that's it
