Without further ado, I know you wanna get into it. I know I wanna get into it. Let's go ahead and get into this episode of NFL questions from subscribers. First question came from my boy, King Lou727. He said realistically, what is the ceiling for this year's Raven Squad if we remain happy? I think you meant if, I think you meant if we remain healthy. But maybe he was just having a happy day that day. So remain happy and healthy. We'll just include both of them. I truly feel it'll come down to week 17 once again to determine our playoff fate as a division winner or wild card. And he actually put division dinner or wild card. So I think he was both happy and hungry at the same time. And that's kind of weird for some people because I know like with my wife, if she's hungry then it's very hard for her to be happy because she gets hungry. Now I'm sure a lot of y'all can relate to when people getting hungry. So but with him, he was happy and hungry because he put fate as a division dinner or wild card. Anyway, we know what you meant. I'm hoping that the Ravens do buck the trend that they've been having for years with how they start off hot. Then they slow down a little bit. They kind of limp into the bye week. And then at the bye week, the after the bye week, they get hot and then they do the same thing again. They start losing, they start flip flopping losses. And then it comes down to the very end to where they have to win out. And it's like that every single year they don't like letting us take it easy as Ravens fans. They don't like just wrapping up the division early. Even the top spot in the AFC, that would be great. I would love that. But he said the ceiling, the ceiling for this year is Ravens squad if they remain healthy. The ceiling is the ceiling, man. Ceiling is the top. So I know a lot of people don't see it. I don't even see it. But you never know because the ceiling is just that. It's the ceiling. That's as high as you can go in the house. But the ceiling would be number one seed. That would be number one seed. But he also did say realistically. So I think realistically the ceiling would be division. It would be winning the division. And you know what? No, I think getting the three or four seat, I think that would be the ceiling realistically. And again, that means the highest that you think this team could be realistically. So I would say getting that three or four seat because that three or four seat would mean getting that division. And yeah, no wild card, man. Division and not limping into the playoffs like they usually have been, but actually holding down the spot and holding it down for a little while. So I think that's what they could do. Good question. Next question came from a boy Spencer. He said in Ravens, the Ravens cut Alex Lewis and with him being cut, does that pave the way for Ben Powers to start? Or do you see another player like Hurst or Eleanor starting? It gives Ben Powers a chance there. It gives him a chance, but I don't think the Ravens are gonna do it because that's just not what they've done. They don't normally start rookies on the offensive line, especially if they're not a first round draft pick. If he was a first round draft pick, then I think he'd have a much higher chance, but with him not being a first round draft pick, I think it would take a little bit more or a lot more for him to start. I wouldn't mind seeing him start, but the Ravens, they would. I mean, they did it last year with Orlando Brown Jr. That's the best example that I can give you because he was somebody that should have started from the jump, he showed he should have started from the jump, but he didn't start. And then I think the Ravens, I think they regretted it after they finally ended up starting him after Alex Lewis got hurt and James Hurst got hurt, I believe they had to flip fly with the offensive line. But I think he should, but I don't think he will. Next question came from a boy, Justin Eggman. He said, I could see this as a long shot, but a possibility for Johnny Manziel. Could he make a comeback to the NFL as a Taysom Hill type player in the right system if he gets his act together? No, not at all. Not as a Taysom Hill type player. Maybe as a backup quarterback, but as a Taysom Hill, no, not at all. Taysom Hill, what a lot of people don't know that Taysom Hill is a lot bigger than people think. Just because he's a backup quarterback slash everything. Johnny Manziel had a very small frame and not saying that you can't compete with a small frame in the NFL, not saying that at all. But to do what Taysom Hill does is, no. That's why the whole talk about what's the name doing at Trace McSawley. I don't know, let's see. But with Johnny Manziel, I don't think so. Now, could he make a comeback in the NFL? I don't see it just because there are so, there's so many quarterbacks, man. I mean, there's just so many players, period, that people may, Johnny Manziel, his reputation may already be ruined in the NFL. Now, I'd never say never, of course, and all it takes is a chance and opportunity because I think, I don't know what he's doing now. I don't know if he's gonna do the XFL, if he's gonna CFL or what, but he would definitely have to use those to build up his brand, build back up his reputation and really try to get a shot again if that's what he wants. But right now, I don't see it happening. Next question came from Don Will. He said, do you think they'll put Justice Hill as a punt returner to get him in the games? If that's something that he can do, if he's capable of returning punts, then maybe, but just to get that speed on the field, just to get that game-breaking element on the field. But if that's not him, then no, I would not want him to put him somewhere where he's not comfortable, that, of course, he's gonna want to get in a game and take any opportunity that he possibly can. But if he's not, it takes a certain person to be a punt returner, it's not for everybody. You can't just plug anybody, but it's not maddened. You can't just plug anybody back there and expect them to be good at punt returns because that's just not the way it works. But it takes a certain skill set. It takes quick decision, like quick decision-making. You can't be back there and be thinking about it or whatnot. You gotta be on it right away. It takes somebody who's quick, who's agile, who can make one cut and be gone. Just somebody very instinctive, too. Not saying that Justice Hill can't be those things, but we don't know. But if he is, then hey, fine, put him back there. But if you just want somebody with speed back there, you got to throw him back there and he's not a true punt returner, I wouldn't even want them to waste a time. Next question came from my boy, A-R-I-J-12-12. You say, what's up, engraving? I got a couple of questions for a video. Who do you predict will win the MVP this season? Lamar Jackson. Nah, I'm playing, maybe Patrick from Homes again. Maybe Patrick from Homes again. He went back to Beck. Cause I really can't see anybody else. Maybe Ann Rogers have a big bounce back here. But yeah, I'm gonna go with Patrick from Homes. And his other question was, do you think a Raven has a chance to win any end of season awards? And if so, which ones? And he said, shout out to Carter. I hope he has lots of fun watching the Ravens this season. I appreciate that. A-R-I-J, thank you. I hope he does, too, man. I hope he does, too. Cause I know I'm going to and he's gonna be right there with me, too. So he's probably gonna be like, daddy, quiet down, daddy, you too loud. Cause he already started that last year. So I'm sure this year with him talking even more than he was last year, then yeah, he's just gonna be annoying. But anyway, do you think the Ravens have a chance to win, would Ravens have a chance to win an end of the year award this season? Well, rookie of the year award, if he can go off, if he can keep putting stuff together, Miles Boykin, offensive rookie of the year. Now that would take a lot, especially for a Ravens player to win offensive anything of the year. Besides alignment, oh yeah, that would take a lot. Comeback player of the year, could be Earl Thomas. Jaylen Ferguson, with how strong he is and how powerful he is. If he gets enough opportunity to get that technique right, maybe defensive rookie, it just depends, though. He would have to get a lot of opportunities and just really be out there a lot, so. But I will go with Earl Thomas, comeback player of the year. Can they get that on defense, though? Next question came from OG from the 0-5. He said, do you think Hollywood will line up at running back just like how Tavon Austin did with the Rams? I could see Ravens doing that, because they like putting Chris Moore, they like doing them on the jet sweeps and stuff like that. But as a running back, ah. As a running back, no. But with a jet sweep or a year, with a little reverse or something like that, I think he could definitely end up doing that. Next question came from, why so serious, I'm curious. He said, team keep it clean. Here's my question. Since Lamar has been quite impressive in camp, I've seen the slander go down a lot. Do you think Lamar Jackson will make everyone eat their words? Thanks for your time, man. I wish you and your family the best on your road to 20K. I appreciate that, man. I wonder when we're gonna get there. But again, no rush. When it happens, it happens. I appreciate it. I appreciate you being part of it, man. Do you think that Lamar Jackson's gonna make everyone eat their words? And he said he's been seeing the slander go down a lot. I think he is. I think the Ravens are like, I think they're super anxious to just let loose. And dolphins are, dolphins are gonna be the first one, man, to find out. Because as we saw in the first pre-season game, by the time you see this video, who knows if the second pre-season game will have passed, most likely. But we saw in the first pre-season game that they just had Lamar sit there. They didn't have him running around or anything. They said, hey, show off some passing. Don't do too much, but just pass. Don't run around. Don't need that. We just threw a couple of passes and that's it. But I think they are really anxious to really show everything that he can do and everything that they wanna do and whatever creative things that they've done with this offense. And just, I really think they really just, they wanna stick it to the NFL, stick it to just any other naysayers and whatnot. I think they're ready for that. So I do think he's gonna make people eat their words and because they really just wanna let him loose and let him be special. So I'm looking forward to him doing that. And it should be a super, super, super exciting season. Next question came from a guy, super slugger. He said, could you see Zeke going to Baltimore? We have the money after Flacco. No, I don't see that at all. They, yeah, I don't see that happening at all. I do not think running back is a top priority for the Ravens right now, especially with them signing, having signed Mark, Zeke ain't coming here. They'd be nice, but it's not happening. Next question came from a boy, Justin Eggman. He said, do you think the stealer's drafted Devin Bush just to stop Lamar Jackson? No, I do not think Devin Bush was just to stop Lamar Jackson. I think Devin Bush was drafted because they've been looking for that inside linebacker for a long time now, ever since Ryan Shea-Z here has been hurt, and he's probably not gonna play again. But ever since Ryan Shea-Z went out, they have not had that guy that can hold down that inside linebacker spot. So now they saw an opportunity and they moved way up in the draft to get him. And I think that was a really good move by Pittsburgh. So I hope he does well, just not against the Ravens of course, but I do hope he does well for them. Next question came from a guy, Sam Twelf-Reese. He said, we saw Mark Ingham thrive in New Orleans with a speedy back like in Alvin Kamara. Is there a chance Justice Hill can become anything close to that to elevate Mark Ingham? I love this question, man. And I think it will be limited depending on the amount of workload that Justice Hill would get. Because that could be, it could be Justice Hill, Mark Ingham, it could be Justice Hill, Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, Kenneth Dixon, it could be Justice Hill or whoever, because Justice Hill is that speed guy, and we don't have anybody else that's really that speed guy. So yeah, he could help elevate anybody and those guys could help elevate his game too. Cause those guys have the NFL experience, he doesn't. And he's obviously gonna get it, but it's just a matter of time for win. It's not an if, but it's a win. So I think it just depends on how much of a workload Justice Hill would get game by game. And he could definitely help those guys out. Cause he's that speedy guy. Of course you could wear him down with the big physical running backs and then bring in that speedy guy to take advantage of these dudes that are worn down. And they're gonna be so tired from trying to catch Mark Ingham from taking all the hits and stuff. And they're gonna be so worn out from getting run over by Gus Edwards. And then Justice Hill can come in and go, whoosh, take off. Next set of questions came from a boy, Josh Rouse. He said, well, Jaylen Smith make the team. I don't see it right now. Would you rather have Lavine or Young start next to Peanut? Young, young, Lavine situational, but young. Well, I mean, I don't think you could go wrong with either one, but Lavine, they've used him in like situational plays like dime packages and whatnot, some nickel packages and whatnot. But I, and he's been special in those plays. Now, if he got on the field more, hey, he could still be special. But I think I would say Kenny Young. With Alex Lewis going, does that mean Powers is gonna start? Because we all seen James worst. I mean, Hearst. I don't think it means that Ben Powers will start. I think that would be nice. That'd be cool, but they still got Eleanor too. And they do love their veterans. Even if the rookie shows they can be better or they look better, they still do love the veterans. So I do not think it means that Ben Powers starts, but hopefully. Who's the favorite for our last corner spot between Avery, Kennedy, Biggie or Gene Baptiste? I would definitely say Anthony Avery, but I don't even think Anthony Avery would be the last cornerback spot. Because of course, Jimmy Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Carr, Tavon Young, then Anthony Avery. But I think you get at least one or two more in there because you need corners. You need a lot of corners too. Does Mark Ingram's personality remind you of Eric Guetto? Except this time, the offense is starting to look hype. He doesn't remind me of Eric Guetto, but he does bring that leadership and does bring a different kind of energy. But I can see what you're saying, but it's just what he's doing for the offense. It reminds me of what Eric Guetto could do for the defense, but it's just a different kind of vibe. But great questions, appreciate you. Next question came from a boy, T-Raw. He said, I think the Ravens will win 11 games and rank 16th in offense and third in defense. I don't follow the Ravens too much, but what are your thoughts? Third in defense, I could definitely see that. 16th in offense. I think the Russian offense is gonna be really high. Pass and offense could be middle of the pack, so I think they could actually be a little bit higher than 16th. And I know a lot of people are saying they will rank like ninth last year, something like that. And that's what a combination of everything, with Flackels and Lamar's offenses. But I think the pass and offense, yeah, they may be like middle of the pack. So I think maybe around like, maybe 9th, 10th, and that wouldn't be bad. I know some people say, oh, well, that wouldn't be right really good. But that could actually be very good for them, especially. Even if they got like 11th or 12th, of course you want them to be top. You want them to be top of everything, but they're not gonna get top of everything. But I think around from anywhere from 9th to 12th, with their offense has a potential to rank. Next question also came from my boy, Justin Ekman. He said, is there any chance Michael Floyd makes the team? I think absolutely not. Next question came from my boy, Michael Blackman. He said, the question for team keep it clean and really all Ravens fans. Who's tackle against the Jaguars was better? Will Heels body slam a few years ago or Kenny Young's decapitation? Definitely, well, I mean, it's close, but Kenny Young's I would say. Cause Kenny Young's, well, he picked the dude up, wham! But Kenny Young, it was just, it was like a car wreck, man. It was like a car wreck. And you could tell from the quarterback, like he, he just, I mean, he tried to hurt me and get his helmet and whatnot, but he was like, no, I wish I would have done that. He was ready to get off the field, man. He was ready to get off the field. He was ready to be gone. We look like he wanted to quit football right then and there. So I'm gonna go with Kenny Young's hit. Next question came from a boy, Eric Christian. He said, it's great to have Ravens football back. I wasn't able to watch the game because I'm in Spain and kickoff was at 1.30 in the morning. And they also not showing American football here. I watched the highlights and part of your live stream from last night. I didn't finish it because we had family plans. I don't know if you mentioned him or not, but care vet Vick surprised me. Not necessarily with the fact that he was making kicks, but the fact that all of them were hitting straight down the middle. Also made that 55 yard look easy. Yes, we did talk about him. That was toward, that was later on in the live stream, but we sure did. And now he's a Viking. And he said, I also believe that once Tony Jefferson's contract is up, Deshaun Elliott will become the starter alongside Earl Thomas. What are your thoughts? I don't think it's gonna take Tony Jefferson's contract to be up for Earl, I mean for Deshaun Elliott to become the starter next to Earl Thomas. I do believe that they are grooming him for that role now. And I think next year, next year I think would be the year that they would be like Tony Jefferson, thank you, unless he just has a crazy great season this year. Which I mean, we all hope that he does. But I think that they are grooming Deshaun Elliott to take over for Tony Jefferson starting next year. Next question came from my boy Glory 102. He said, I know there's a lot of talk lately about Vedvik possibly taking over for Sam Cooke's punting job. And of course we know by now that Vedvik was traded to the Vikings and this question came before Vedvik was traded to the Vikings though. So let's see what he was saying. He said, yeah, so there's been a lot of possibility. There's been a lot of talk lately about Vedvik possibly taking over Sam Cooke's punting job. My question to you is that if Sam's great punting ability isn't enough to keep him on the roster, do you think that his other abilities are? I mean, he's a perfect four for four in passing and executing fake punts for first down and giving our team or giving our offense a second chance to get points. His last pass, if I'm not mistaken, happened in the game against the Texans when our offense could get nothing done for a whole quarter. And his pass to Chris Moore led to a touchdown by Buck Allen that tied the game. Not to mention, he also does a great job in holding the ball on fourth down to kill time off the clock like in the Super Bowl in the Bengals game a few years ago. He's also not that bad at being the last man to stop a touchdown when the opposing team breaks one on a special team. So what do you think? So hey, maybe you work for the Ravens coaching staff and you were watching videos on something you were like, oh man, why do they keep talking about getting rid of Sam Cooke and keeping Vedvik? And look at boom, that's what happened. They kept Cooke and Vedvik is out of there. But yeah, I mean, you make a lot of great points. And I think the Ravens took all those points into consideration and that's why they made the move. And of course with Vedvik, he's unproven in regular season games. There's a difference now, because we have seen a lot of players that go off in the preseason. But when it comes to regular season, oh, you don't see any of that. So Ravens, they made a good move. They made a smart move and they paid off. They paid off, they got a draft picking. Yeah, Sam Cooke, he does do all those things. And those are things that a lot of us don't need to include in myself. Don't even think about when it comes to Sam Cooke. But I love this list of attributes and qualities that you talked about that Sam Cooke has because he does possess all of them. So really good points you made. Next question came from my boy Craig Zero. He said, Raven, who do you see as Ray Lewis' disciple? Kenny Young, a peanut. I asked because Young said that he is following his footsteps as a linebacker and a leader on defense. I don't know. I would say neither. The reason I say neither is because, I mean, yeah, Ray Lewis was the dude they may look up to and whatever, but they not following in Ray Lewis' footsteps or CJ Mosey did that. And that ain't kind of filing in CJ Mosey for this. Of course they want to be their own kind of linebacker. But I mean, I think it all just depends. It depends on who gets the shot. Right now, Kenny Young is not slated to get that shot, but it ain't over till it's over because he could have a great remaining couple of weeks in camp and regular season comes and they could have him as the starting guy next to Peanut. So right now, I think Peanut has obviously the better shot at doing it, but Peanut is trying to play with his own style, man. He's trying to play with his own style and I mean, still he's trying to wreck stuff, but I would think that Peanut would have more of an opportunity to do it. Kenny Young might really want to file in Ray Lewis' footsteps, but Peanut has more of a chance to do it since he's getting a lot more playing time right now. He's a starter. Next question came from a boy, Justin Ekman. He said, how come everybody that's not a Ravens fan is saying that Lamar Jackson is gonna get hurt running while nobody's saying that Josh Allen, the Bill's quarterback, will get hurt, even though he runs a ton too? I mean, that's just because of the narrative being pushed. Now I'm sweating no big deal, ain't no surprising. It just is what it is. Next question came from a boy, D-Moneyo 405. He said, do you think when we play the Brown that Marlon Humphrey will shadow Odell? I don't think they'll do that because Ravens don't, they don't typically play like that. They don't have one of their corners shadowing somebody. They usually just let their corners play on their sides and that's it. So I think it's gonna be a mix of Humphrey, Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carr, Tavon Young, they move Odell to the slot. So it's gonna be a little bit of everybody, so not just one. Next question also came from a boy, Justin Ekman. He said, do you believe we'll get a Super Bowl out of Lamar Jackson? I mean, he's good enough to win a Super Bowl. And if he improve, if the reason I say that is because if last year was the floor, then that says a lot. And so they definitely, if he can improve off of that and then the Arabians could definitely get a Super Bowl out of him and hopefully they get multiple ones. But yeah, I do think that he's good enough to get it to get one. Next question came from a boy, A Saucy. Shout out to my guy, Aero, man. He said, hey, captain of Team Keep It Clean. Question from subscribers of just a question. Still has just lost their wide receiver coach. He just passed a recipe to him. Yeah, that's crazy, man. Yeah, and I think he's like 56, they said. It's also beyond, man. And he said, but does that end their wide receiver tree that's been dominant for so long and hope you and the family are doing well? Um, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. I wouldn't say that. I think he's a new wide receiver coach, I believe. Cause I believe that the previous wide receiver coach went on to do something else. I think I'm not 100% sure though. But no, I don't think though that because with teams, when they're really good at something, they have a formula for being that good at whatever their something is. You look at the Ravens and one could be like, Oh, well Ravens lost this defensive coordinator. So maybe now the defense not going to be as good with that finally be the end of their defense being good. And it's the same scenario, but Ravens just to get somebody else usually promote from within and have somebody else take in the defense still remains good. Sometimes it can get even better. So no, I don't think this will end their streak of just being so good at drafting and developing their wide receivers. So good question. Next questions to end out this episode of NFL questions from subscribers came from a boy, Benji. First question is, how should the NFL handle the running backs that sit out? They rarely get that second contract because teams have a stable of replacements and it totally puts on their bodies. So how should the NFL handle the running backs that sit? That's really up to the organization. That's up to the teams to see if they're going to give them that second contract or not. See if they feel like, oh yeah, we can get by without you. So we're going to just move on. So I think it could end up making some of the second contracts go down. But I mean, I respect the running backs for trying to get their money. It really just any player trying to get their money if they sit out or whatnot that they try to really show these teams like, hey, you're not this good without me. So I think it's not necessarily for the NFL to handle it, but for the actual teams to handle it. The next question is, why can't Ben Powers play right guard next to Orlando Brown Jr. like he did in college? You might be more comfortable that way than Yanda can ball out at left guard. I mean, if they decided to do that, cool. Especially if that's something that he was comfortable with but it seems like they grooming him to be a left guard or he could be that Marchionne replacement. But you know, Marchionne is getting up there and what he is up there, he needs to be replaced. They need to find, I've been saying this for the past like two years, they need to find his replacement. So he could be that. So this left guard thing could be temporary or he could be a backup right guard and just be learning from Yanda. I'm sure he's learning from Yanda period but Ben Powers, whoever he's more comfortable that would be great. And I know they can move Yanda around. Yanda's been moved around before. He can play anywhere, he can ball out anywhere. So that wouldn't concern me if they moved Yanda to a different position or to the opposite side for him to play left guard and for Ben Powers to play right. So that'd be a good idea. And he said, who's our most undervalued player that no one talks about? Maybe we could call it the Jared Johnson Award. Most undervalued, well, I don't think it's really anybody that people don't talk about. But undervalued, I would say Brandon Williams, Anthony Levine and Brandon Carr. I think those guys are three guys, and I didn't mean to go all defense but I really think those guys are people who are guys who people really undervalued. Especially Brandon Williams and Brandon Carr. Oh, I guess it's just a Brandon thing. I didn't even realize that. On offense, you can say score. I mean, as painful as it is to say, but scorer, he was there with Flacco, he was there with Lamar, and is he the best in the world? No, but he made the transition a lot easier for the Ravens in their offense, and he was a part of that. It's like some guys might not have been able to handle that, but he was able to handle it. So I would say Matt Scurro on offense. And his last question to take us out, he said, if Bruce Lee were alive, what position do you recommend he would play? He said, I'm thinking kick or wide receiver because of his felt and elusive nature. Now, I was gonna say, part return or kick return, because he was so elusive. He wouldn't let anybody touch him. He would be making everybody miss and whatnot. So I would say return man. And if we had him on the team, that's touchdown every time.
