 How one fan's hate of Hollywood Brown turned into love. When Raven's running backs get healthy next year, are they still gonna be as past heavy? Why Ravens need to run the no-huddle offense a lot more? These and many, many more questions on this episode of NFL Questions from subscribers. Yeah, this feels like a dream to change. You too, Team Keep It Clean. What's going on? It's a engraving here with another video and another episode of NFL Questions from subscribers.

Shout out to y'all because everybody has been sending it to the right email. Thank you. Or for the patrons, you know y'all can send it directly on Patreon. Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Let's get into it. First question came from a boy, Martin. He said, and appreciate you being a patron, Martin. He said, for the longest time I have been a Marquise Brown hater. I never liked to pick when Ravens drafted him and I hated last year how Ravens media hyped him up for a breakout season when I knew it wasn't going to happen. But I tell you, I am happy to eat my own words. And for Marquise Brown to be doing this thing and making a claim to be an elite wide receiver, I've gone from hater to fan. Also, it might just be that number five magic shout out to Joe Fleck or Marquise Brown. Hey, man, I appreciate how straight up you are with this. I sincerely appreciate your honesty because it takes a lot to be willing to admit that you were a hater of somebody or a player, whatever it may be. I appreciate that because you ain't had to let us know. You could have been hating in silence or if you was hating in the comment section or hating on Twitter or whatever, you could have quietly changed your tune without anybody really noticing, without anybody even knowing. But the fact that you brought it up. Four questions from subscribers, you brought it up. I appreciate that for real. And because I know there are a lot of people that still hate on Hollywood. And that's fine. I mean, it is what it is. I just one thing that I never got. And I don't understand how somebody could just really hate on a player like. Like I just if you don't if you didn't like to pick. OK, if you don't don't think they're the best player in the world, but to actually just really just sit there and just hate. I it's it's crazy because hate with hate, you got to go to extremes for that. You really got to go to extremes to be a hater of a play or something like that. You don't like to play. OK, cool. You don't like this style. You don't like how they do this, how they do that. All right, cool, whatever, no big deal. But actually hate is just crazy, man. So kudos to you, man. Speaking of hate, next question came from a boy, Dana. He said engraving, team keeping clean family was good. See if you can guess these two players in their stats. No cheating. They were both or they both wore the number 57 for the Baltimore Ravens and the Baltimore Jets. He said CJ Moseley and Bart Scott. All right, now match them to their stats. Player A, 729 tackles, 25 sex for interceptions, six force fumbles and one Pro Bowl. Hmm, OK, player B, 634 tackles, nine and a half sex, 10 interceptions, six force fumbles, three defensive touchdowns and four Pro Bowls. Oh, four. All right, 729 tackles, 25 sex for interceptions, 634 tackles. Since player A has 729 tackles, I'm assuming that's Bart Scott, because he played 11 years. Only reason I know he played 11 years was because he just said it. And all of his hate for Hollywood, he would just say, oh, you wouldn't touch me 11 years in a league. People know who I am. Go look at my go look at my posters on the wall over there. Go look, but anyway, so I'm going to play. A is is Bart and player B is CJ. Let's scroll down the answer. He said, so answer, CJ Moseley. OK, it is right. So CJ Moseley is player B. He's been playing for seven years and stats are way better than Bart Scott. Player A, who played for 11 years. Bart wasn't even the best fit. He said Bart wasn't even the best 57 on either of his two teams. He has no room to talk trash to any players. Drops, Mike, LOL. Man, that whole Bart Scott thing was crazy because with Bart Scott, with his whole thing with Hollywood, it's funny because I know my guy Raven C pointed it out. And some other people pointed it out, too. They were like, man, this dude, like he's saying he ravens this. He ravens that. Oh, yeah, go to the go upstairs where they keep the real awards that in the trophies in the pictures, not just the player. The week they get those out to everybody just to make you feel good. And he's saying all this stuff about Ravens this, Ravens that. Oh, you already know who I am. I'm a legend. I got it, man. But then you look in the background and his pictures of him when he was with the Jets, what you're saying? All this Ravens and you and the thing about it, too. Is that you prepared for this segment? So you knew you were going to be saying stuff about Hollywood and the Ravens and all that, but you still you. You could have switched them out. He could have been like, oh, you know, you know what? Let me get some of those people. Well, maybe maybe it's because all of those pictures, maybe because the Ravens got all those pictures. Maybe that's why he ain't put those pictures up in the background. That's probably it. Next question came from Lord Shaquon. She said, good morning, engraving. Hope everything is well on that side with you and the family. But I just have a question about the Ravens offense. I watched all the Ravens games this year from first quarter to the end of the game. Then I watched the Chargers game versus Seahawks. And I was thinking to myself, the Chargers ran about five to 10 wide receiver and running back screen plays. And I was thinking to myself that the Ravens have not ran one wide receiver running back screen play this year. I think if the Ravens put that in the playbook, it will open up the offense. What do you think? Oh, you must be new here because this is something that we've been screaming for, for the Ravens to incorporate the screen game. Now they have actually run not any running back screens, but they have ran some wide receiver screens this year. But not many. It's just something that the Ravens don't do. I don't know why. When they do run one, they run like one a month. They ran one in September, October. We ain't get one yet. So it could happen in a Chargers game. It could happen. But don't count on it being that many. Next question came from my boy William J. He said, what's up in Graven? That's not a question, but simply an observation. I was watching Kieshawn Johnson, J. Will and Max Show. And they had a phone interview with one David Kaplan. And he says, Lamar Jackson is not considered in the MVP talks until he can pass in the pocket, in the playoffs, in one of these elite teams home field, throwing from the pocket. Can you pick apart defenses in that setting, shaking my head in Graven? You're absolutely right. The goal post will continue to be moved anyway. That's my spiel check. That interview out for yourself. Let me know what you think. Be well, bro. That ain't even no surprise that somebody would say that. Because again, with Lamar people, they don't want to be wrong. And it's crazy. You know one thing that I've noticed big time with Lamar Jackson? If he has a bad game, he has a bad game, especially Raven is Raven's loose. Because it's one thing if you have a bad game in Raven's win, but if you have a bad game in Raven's lose, especially. Boy, they come out. Out of the shadows, they come out of the World War. Hey, Lamar Jackson, oh, that guy sucks. He's terrible. But he having all these good games, doing his thing, passing for all these yards. And then I don't see nobody. I don't see the normal Lamar Jackson haters in the comment section. The MIA, they like, oh. But I know they waiting. I know they waiting because a lot of them, they go with these goal posts. They move with these goal posts. And it's sad that people, again, they just don't want to give credit. Where credit is, it's always got to be, oh, but it's cause of this. It's only cause of this. That's it. That's it. Like with the Colts, the Colts game. Oh, Lamar only did that when Colts, they were down to their second, third string cornerbacks, I mean, excuse me. Cause of that. For the Denver game, they didn't need anything. I didn't need anything for that one. Like they didn't come up with anything for that one. And I was trying to think, what are they gonna say? But they came up with nothing. Against the Lions. Oh, it's the Lions. It's the Lions. But a lot of yards and points were dropped on that field against the Lions. Then against the Chiefs. But oh, it's the Chiefs. They're so bad. So I mean, it's always, well actually it's not always gonna be something. Cause again, like I said recently, they've been quiet. They've been hushed. I've been looking and I'm like, where they at? I don't see them. But I know why. Next question came from my guy, Silver Fox. He said, engraving, keep doing what you're doing. Man, I enjoy your videos. I'd love to know who your contact is on the inside. You seem to break all the Ravens news first. No, I don't know about all that. But he said, I'm writing to give you kudos on your earlier call that you felt one Devonte Cornelius Freeman would be the best of the three vet running backs that we acquired. When that man runs, he usually gets the kind of yards we Ravens fans are used to seeing with the likes of Gustavus. You really? And Freeman has most certainly been the best running back catching passes from Lamar out of the backfield and getting significant yardage after the catch. And as you say, we appreciate it, Fox. With Devonte, I did feel like he was gonna be the best fit. But he, I don't know, as far as running, he did get one nice pop, I think on his first carry. What game was that? Was that week two? I forgot what week it was. But other than that, maybe hasn't been doing much. I mean, I know in the last game though, I know that that recency will be like, oh yeah, Devonte doing it, which he did do his thing with the past catching game. Toward the end of the game, people, they were all defending that deep ball. Lamar was like, oh, hold up, last year I would try to play hero ball and I would force it sometime. But this year I'm taking a check now. Devonte Freeman, there you go. Freeman caught it, yak. And even when under contact, he would fall forward too. I was like, okay, Devonte, that's exactly what we needed because it was allowing him to get more and more yards. But as far as a runner, not a pass catcher, but a running back, now I don't really think he's really done much of anything though. None of the running backs really have. Latavius Murray has been, let's say the three, four yards guy. He'll get the touchdown, like he'll get the touchdown close but in the red zone and whatnot. But none of our running backs have really stood out to me. So we'll see what happens moving forward, but we're still waiting on something. Next question came from my guy, Elijah. He said, I had the Ravens going eight into in our first 10 games, leading up to the division rivalry schedule with the lovely addition of the Packers. Since I've been perfect this season, I'm crossing fingers that I'm wrong this week, which leads me to my two-part question. Do you think this game against the Chargers can decide whether we're playing in SoFi or M&T Bank for the playoffs? We both know the goal is SoFi in February. It could, but it's so early. Both of the teams are four-in-one. Obviously if they finished with the same record, then yeah, it could possibly determine whether one of them got a home field advantage or not. But I just, no, for me, I think, not that it's too early to be thinking like that, but it's just, it's too much that can happen through now in the end of the regular season. He said, number two, do you think the NFL purposely made our December schedule crazy because they won Lamar Winning streak to stop? We haven't lost the game in December since the Chiefs in overtime in his rookie year. Really? They haven't? Really? Man, I'm trying to think now. If that's the case, I don't know. Excuse me. But anyway, no, I don't think the NFL purposely made the December schedule crazy, but the whole schedule is crazy. Like Raven's schedule is very, very tough. It's hard, it's very, very crazy. So it's crazier in September as we've seen. It's crazy in October, even though they had the crib, it's crazy in over, it's crazy in this, it's crazy the entire year, so no. Next question came from my guy, Manuel. He said, what's up in Graven? Shout out from Mexico. Many people want to see Bateman kill the opposing defense on the field, myself included, but after watching these five weeks, I want more pro shade because he is all Bateman on the field, what? He has been catching balls and never letting it drop. Cough, still is why I received his last year cough. Even if Bateman is healthy, Giro said he is not going to play all game and we must understand they don't want another pyramid situation. So in the meantime, we got sticky hands pro shade on the field, making those tough catches. So yeah, I mean, pro shade is still going to get his playing time in, and that to me was proven when Sammy Watkins went down, and especially if he's not a goal against the Chargers, which ooh, that would be scary, but if he's not a goal against the Chargers, then pro shade will definitely get his playing time, but Bateman, he'll be sprinkled in there as well. But when, oh, back to what I was talking about, when Sammy Watkins went down, I thought that Miles Boykin, but okay, Miles Boykin time. But Raven's like, nope, we're still going with Hollywood, we're going with Duvenay, we're going with pro shade. So pro shade's still going to get his on Bateman, but eventually Bateman's going to be getting more than pro shade, so it's only a matter of time. Cause you don't, your fifth round pick from what, last year? Oh, what was it, fifth or sixth, I forget, but anyway, a low round pick from last year is not going to be getting more playing time than a first round pick from this year at the same position. And he said, now that I'm out of the question, do you think Boykin has resolved his mental issue so that he can perform better in the passing game? Cause he would be a bigger bolder than if he has. We won't know till we know. Cause we haven't seen him on offense, so there's no way to tell that until we actually see him out there consistently. Next question came from Tyrone, he said, ain't great, but hope all is well with you and the fam. Love the channel and shout out to Team Keep It Clean. Yeah, shout out to those guys, they pretty good. They said, I have a concern about the Ravens offense for next year. We all know that our passing offense this year has been great and Lamar has been handed out for the past couple of weeks. I feel that this is only due to the fact that two of our starting running backs are out for the season and the running backs we have really haven't been that effective. This has forced Greg Romanton to change up his play calls and let Lamar throw way more than he has in the past. I feel that this has been a blessing in disguise because I felt like the Ravens never let Lamar throw the ball and see what he can actually do out there. We have always been lost whenever our running game wasn't on point, that's true. As a result, he's been leading our team to victories and has been breaking passing records. There's Brian took shots at Greg Roman last year and put up videos on Instagram to back up Lamar and his passing ability to show that he can throw any route. My question is, when we get our running backs healthy, how is the offense gonna look? Are we still gonna be more run heavy or is it gonna be more balanced? We are winning games because of Lamar's playmaking ability in the passing game but there needs to be a balance next year with our running game. I'm worried we'll go back to our old ways and habits. In PS, you can't call Devon Duvenay a Jet Sleep King anymore. He's catching passes now. Hey, you ain't lying to Tyrone. You right, man. You right. He ain't been Jet Sleep King this year. So I love it. You were 1,000% right, man. So shout out to G-Row and them, TT and Kiki and them. But anyway, when them boys come back next year, Gus, JK, I still, I mean, even when they were here, I don't think it was gonna be like this, the passing game, but I think it was definitely expectation that the passing game was gonna get up a lot this year because they had been talking about Gus, had been talking about it, JK had been talking about it, that they had been working on catching more passes out of the backfield this year. They added Rashad Bateman, they added Tyrone Wallace, they added TT and Kiki and them. So it's like, when you do all of that, then you're showing like, hey, yeah, we're about to pass this ball this year. But again, I didn't think it was gonna be like this on this level, but I think, like you said, with the running game and the shape that it's been in, which is not good shape, is forced to Ravens. We gotta throw this thing. And it's shown like, hey, yeah. Oh yeah, Lamar can do this. Shit, I know Lamar can do this already, but Lamar can do this. So, and he's shown that in the past too. But he hasn't been able to show it consistently. He didn't let him do it consistently. So we know he could throw the ball. This ain't no surprise that he could throw the ball. But it's just been a nice thing that to see the Ravens, that's the biggest thing, like you said, the Ravens, when the running game had been stopped, they look lost, excuse me, they look lost. They're like, oh, what do we do? They can't run. But now, even though they can't run, but they have found their way. Speaking of offense, next question came from my guy Seth. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope everything is well for yourself and your family. My family is upset since we're from Southern Indiana and it's mostly Coach fans. LOL, but I'm chilling. Quick simple question, just wanted to hear your thoughts. On the last drive, it was mostly hurry up offense except for the play after the coach called a timeout. Would it be realistic to think if we incorporate this more, we will be in better shape later in the game? Our reason being is correct me if I'm wrong, but Lamar was six for six around 54 yards in a game winning touchdown. He also rushed twice for around 18 yards. Pretty efficient. What are your thoughts? Be safe and take it easy. Appreciate that Seth. So yeah, the hurry up offense, that's also something that we've been hoping the Ravens would incorporate a little bit more. Now with hurry up offense, it's not one of those things you can do every single drive because safe instance, you go three and out and you go and hurry up. So you're gonna make your defense that much more tired. So it's one of those things that you gotta do with not necessarily balance, but it just gotta be right me. It can't be every single drive. But to incorporate it sometimes, especially if in the flow of things it's working and whatnot, you're moving, you're grooving, you're wheeling and dealing, and you're going down the field. Oh yeah, it could certainly be something that up-tipper offense, you keep the defense off balance, the defense can't make substitutions. And if you got a mismatch, then you can keep taking advantage of that mismatch. So that would be on, I think that a lot of that will be on the model recognized too. So if he sees a mismatch with the defense, I bring your boys back to the line and scrimmage that much faster, get them lined up that much quicker so y'all can keep this thing going. This question came from my guy Eddie. He said, what's up in Graven? Just want to say much love from the UK. Oh, shout out to the UK. He said from the UK flock. Yes, we're international to yourself and family and keep up the great work you've been doing, especially in promoting positivity in a world that can often be quite toxic, especially now. Yes, it can be, you ain't lying. He said, but I digress. It's something that's been eating up for me, eating up at me for a while with such a crowded room at receiver, the old age dilemma, which you have covered extensively since the end of last season. What do we do with Miles Boykin? Clearly the man is very talented. However, the flashes that we've seen from both Devin Duvenay and Prochet have wanted them more snaps and playing time at the wide receiver position, albeit as fourth and fifth options, especially now since Bateman is about to return and you have Sammy Watkins in the picture too. It's quite clear to me that he has not, he has not been amiss as far as the receiving has been concerned, but as significant value in terms of the skill set as a down the field blocker and as a possible red zone threat. And I hate that you have to say possible there because he just simply isn't using the red zone. But anyway, my main point is that with his skill set and a couple of extra pounds on him, would it not be worthwhile converting him to tight end like we did with all of those years ago? Sure, he may be undersized by about an inch or two, but six feet four isn't exactly short. Potentially in doing so he could get more game time, especially if we reintroduce those three tight end sets. But that's just my take, much love again. See the thing with that, I appreciate that Eddie. The thing with that with Miles Boykin and the whole tight end conversation is let's see him as a wide receiver. Let's get his confidence up as a wide receiver. Let's give him that boost of confidence as a wide receiver before just switching him to tight end because I just feel like with Boykin and not that if you switch him to a tight end now it'd be like, oh man, his confidence will be all low or anything like that. But again, the mental part, and I just, the same thing I keep saying with Boykin, if let's just, I wanna see him get opportunities as a wide receiver first, man. I really wanna see his maturation with Keith Williams and T. Martin first, see the type of impact that they've had on him because we see the impact that they've had on all these other wide receivers with the Ravens. We see it. So I would like to see it as a wide receiver with Miles Boykin first before you just, all right, tight end, to tight end, you go. So let's see that. And then we revisit the tight end conversation again. Next question came from my guy, Lord Valley. He said, what's going on to America's team? I call it that because in the world we live in today we are faced with so many obstacles and setbacks and been told what you can't do. And the Ravens are a great representation of perseverance and fight and belief and leaning on your family to get through. Other than that, that boy, what a game. Sheesh, it was very disgusting in the first half. I saw poor execution and lack of heart, but hey, we played anyway. I watched him stream the whole game and yes, he called us the screen, but even so, why are grown men's safeties over pursuing ball carriers? Like I'm sick of it, seriously. Then you pursue and sloppy. Next thing, Queen, really playing like a princess this year might need Harrison to take his spot. One game check himself, don't wanna be a Jalen Smith. Ooh, yikes, ooh, you a boy. The tackling period is off of this year and needs to be felt with immediately. Upcoming, we got Eckler, we got Williams, Allen, then we got Cook, Jefferson and Thelon. Oh man, I ain't even think about the Vikings, yes. Then mixing and check, oh my goodness. I hadn't even been really thinking that far down and thinking about the tackling when it's come to those games that the Ravens got coming up, that's scary. These are star threats with better defenses as well. So A-Rit, buddy, forget getting beat. I need you to never, ever have a performance like that again. Two yards, all you get off the receiver, bro. I know people got bad days at work, but OMG. All right, then second half, the comeback story, greatness, all I gotta say now that the record is gone, I would actually rather see Lamar throw 40 times a game and get 350 to 400 yards and see everyone touch the ball, literally. That was beautiful. Looked like the old 2007 Colts and Boykin and Bateman, Boyle, Gus J.K. didn't even touch it. I think we will succeed in a no-huddle pistol shotgun offense. Rush yards will be easy to get to. Plus the pocket breakdown, rush yards will be scary. And last thing, I think Lamar should wear a glove on his offhand to prevent his fumbles, which they found the emails week one, Flock Nation, I'm out. He talking about it with John Gruden. So the Ravens could possibly be undefeated. Man, yeah, this was a lot, but yeah, you made some really good points to tackling. Definitely has been terrible and with those games we got coming up, yeah, they better fix it fast. With Averett, yeah, he had a bad game, but yeah, the challenge gets a lot tougher this week. We, Mike Williams, Kenan Allen. Yeah, so, and then with the, he say you want to see Lamar throw 40 times a game. I think, I can't say that. Situational football, man. Situational football. It all just depends on everything. And now obviously Lamar is going to be throwing more, especially with the running game and the condition that it is in, but it just all depends on how the game is flowing. And yeah, the offense was looking good though. And then he said, and Boyle and Bateman and Boyle, they didn't even touch the ball. And of course, Justin, Gus and JK, because they out. But yeah, when we getting them boys back, I mean, we got Boykin back, but Boyle Bateman on his way back too. All them Bs, just like a tongue twister, but yeah, he on his way back too. So they getting healthier at the perfect time. And the last question on this episode, the question from subscribers came from a boy flirting in Winske. He said, it's your boy back again. How are you and yours? How's your heart? Are you still on life support like the rest of us at LOL? Yeah, that was crazy games as usual now. First question is something that I've noticed that really scares me a lot. Literally every play, you know how they say, oh man, Lamar is going to get hurt running around, blah, blah, blah. But my fear is sitting in a pocket, which history doesn't lie. Look at every mobile quarterback. They got hurt sitting in the pocket too long. Do you think Lamar is trying too hard to prove everybody wrong instead of playing his game? Hmm, that's a good, that's a really good question. Cause he does stay back there. He'll stay back there and he will deliver through like even you look at his last two, well, not the overtime throw, but the other, the two of the last three touchdown throws to Hollywood, the deep, deep throws. The one in a Broncos game and the one in the Colts game, the deep throws. He sat there in the pocket, waited, waited and threw it. Perfect throw, obviously hit Hollywood and strived touchdown, but he took some hits on both throws throws, right in the pocket. But with Lamar, it's like, it's one of those things where, I think with the way that he's playing, I do think that there's something going on to where he may be a little banged up, just a little bit. And like, man, cause, cause yeah, early, during the game, some people are like, oh man, Lamar looks like he a little bit slower. So now I was like, let's keep watching. Let's keep seeing. So now I watch him run and yeah, he did look a little bit slower. So, and I don't know if that was him overthinking or just that he was just slower. And I think it was more so the latter. But maybe he is a little bit, he's ailing a little bit cause he been getting beat up back there. He been getting beat up like all season, man. Except for the Chiefs game. They kept him pretty clean in that one. But other than that, he been getting beat up all season. So hopefully, so I don't even think it's him necessarily trying to prove everybody wrong about the passing. I just think he may be just hurting a little bit. Like he said, last night, the play before he missed Hollywood in the end zone, he went through his reads almost three times, then checked it down to the running back that dropped it. But he had a clear path to the end zone. Like literally nobody was over there to the right side, like within at least 10 yards. I was losing my mind in the stands, LOL. That's what makes me think maybe sometimes he's sitting in there too long and you know, that's when the wicked things happen. Also a statement, every with the bad game by, or every bad game by Anthony Averett, I believe that's what he needed as always. I go back to the times when it was Jimmy Smith on the left and Hump on the right getting picked on, you only get better with reps. Oh, I love that. I love that. And I really appreciate that because yeah, it's true like with Anthony Averett now with, especially this game that they got coming up in a couple of days. He can only go up from here.
