 It's a real small world, man. And it's crazy too. Last night, me and some of my friends, we had went to this spot in downtown Fort Lauderdale. So we was there for a little while and we were getting ready to leave. So when I was walking out of the security guard, he was like, hey, hey, hey, team keeping clean. I said, oh, hey, what's up, baby? What's going on, man? So that was super cool. And he was super, super, super cool and super nice too, man. So shout out to you. Anyway, Raven's fans, we tend to be all on one accord a lot of times because I think we're getting back in the thirsty mode. It's thirsty season. Because now a lot of players are being released. A lot of players are getting cut. A lot of players are being told they're gonna get cut. Whether it's pre-June 1st, post-June, whatever. They are going to be free agents and be available. So you know us as Raven's fans. You know we want everybody to come to the Ravens. So this is no different. And with the secondary, the Baltimore Raven secondary last season. And it's so frustrating because they had injuries. More than Humphrey missed a bunch of time. They were different guys that missed time. Really just heard the defense as a whole. But they were still the best defense and it just feels like such a waste. All that just went to waste. Yeah, it's frustrating to think about it. But anyway, the secondary. Got a lot of question marks in the secondary. Rocky scene, free agent. Ronald Dobby, free agent. Arthur Millette, free agent. Ardarius Washington, free agent. So you got a lot of free agents. And I'm sure I'm probably forgetting somebody too. You got Jaylen Alma Davis, who has just, he ain't been out there. So there's still a big question mark on him. I honestly don't even think it's a guarantee that he makes the team next year because this is getting to that point. You got Pepe Williams. He hasn't been out there either. So I feel like it's the same way with him. So we'll see. But Ravens have a lot of question marks. Marlon Humphrey still on the team. Brandon Stevens still on the team. And both of those guys are good, but you want more. You want more and even more quality depth. So with these questions, Team Keep It Clean seem to be on the same page. Let's read them. It came from Wesley. He said, ain't great for loving the content. Keep grinding, bro. You have came a long way from the first video. I'll solve yours. I appreciate you, Wesley. Thank you for even watching it. He said, anyway, his dolphins are expected to release Xavier and Howard. Ravens could use some depth at the cornerback position. And I feel that last season we were close to trading for him. Yeah, that was a couple of years ago. I think 2021, I want to say. But yeah, it was a couple of years ago that they were close. It was when the year Marcus Peters got hurt when he went down with injury, they were close to trading for him because it came out like after the fact. But I remember there was a lot of conversation about that. The way that I felt about it, I'm like, hey, go all in. Marcus Peters is out and deal with the contracts at the end of the season. But right now I was like, right then and there, get him, go for it, get after him. But it obviously didn't come to fruition. But anyway, he said, what are the odds that we sign Xavier and Howard? Or do the Ravens have too much going on already with attempting to re-sign all these free agents we have coming up? Gus, Zyla, Madda, BK, Geno, Clowney. Gus ain't coming back. Zyla, I don't think he's coming back. Madda BK, I think he'll be there. Geno, he's going. Clowney, I think there's a big possibility of him too. And he said, speaking of Clowney, Manuel Agua is also expected to be released by the Dolphin with you. Well, yeah, he was it all, man. I love it though. I love it. I hate them people who all, if you're trying to kill people's vibe, they be like, that's unrealistic. That'll never happen. That's not going down. Don't even ask about it. Don't even talk about it. You're wasting your time. Get out of here. Have some fun, man. Geez, anyway, Xavier and Howard, he's an interesting one. Because he put Xavier and Howard, I know most Ravens fans, when they think of Xavier and Howard, they think of Rashaul Bateman beating them on that inside slam for like 75 yards, something like that, man. And he got him. Rashaul Bateman got him, man. With Xavier and Howard, the thing, my thing, Xavier and Howard can obvious, he's like Marcus Peters to me. That's what he reminds me of. He's a cornerback that, I mean, not over the past couple of years, he ain't really been getting picks over the past couple of years, but he's a cornerback that would normally get a bunch of interceptions. But he'll have the blame when you give up a lot of yards. But Xavier and Howard, he'll be solid, but I don't think Ravens would be wanting to invest the type of money that he would probably command into another corner, especially when they got Brandon Stevens still. You got Marlon Humphrey, and not only that, with Brandon Stevens, excuse me, excuse me, with the Baltimore Ravens as a whole, they, even with the salary cap going up, they got some more money, but that doesn't necessarily mean they got more money. The guys could ask for more money. With the salary cap going up, yet they technically do have more space, but every team does. So since every single team got even more space now, then that means the players' values, they went up too. So they're going to be asking for even more money now because the salary cap went way up. So these players are going to be their salaries. They're going to want their salaries to go way up too. But I just don't foresee the Baltimore Ravens signing Xavier and Howard. I don't see it at all. He is somebody that, he had been hurt a lot here and there, but over the past couple of years, he's played in a lot more games. Because this year, he played in 13 games. Last year, he played in 15. Previous year before that, he played in 16. Previous year before that, he played in 16. Then in 2019, he played in five. 2018, he played in 12. So it was a little wishy-washy early on, but he's been overall healthy. I know he had some injury that he was dealing with this year. I forgot what it was, but I don't think it would happen. Not because it wouldn't be a good fit, because it would be nice like, again, it takes me back to last year. I was going to say it would be nice because it would be a sort of ballhawk cornerback. And that would be nice to compliment Marlon Humphrey and Flanders. But we didn't have a ballhawk cornerback last year. And we did just fine. We had the best defense in the league and they got wasted, man. It's so annoying, man. It's so annoying, man. Thinking about it, it is so annoying. They wasted it. Wasted it. Oh my goodness, man. It's so frustrating. They wasted it. They wasted, well, the Ravens overall wasted that defense. The defense ain't waste nothing. The defense was great. They were amazing. But overall, the Ravens' lack of ultimate success ended up wasting that defense. Oh my goodness. And then you think about like the 49ers and it's so annoying. It's so annoying. But as far as Xavier and Howard, I just, I don't see it happening. I wouldn't mind if it happened, but I don't see it happening. Next question came from my guy, Elijah. He said, sneaky, signing. And Graven, I hope you and the family are doing well. I know that nursery already set up for the little flock pundaloo joy that you'll be soon blessed with. I appreciate you, man. He said, stay ready so you ain't got to get ready. Hey, there you go. He said, one of the sneaky signings I hope EDC looks into is Bryce Huff. If we can somehow convince him to come to the Ravens, he will be a great fit for our linebacker. He was a rotational player this past year for the Jets, a brilliant past Russian specialist. That's him. And he got like, don't you got a real ugly number for a past Russia? Cause I remember watching the Jets before and seeing him make plays. Is it like 44s? Let me look it up. Ain't gotta do the legwork, man. Just gotta look it up. Ain't gotta try to overthink it or none like that. Let me look it up. Bryce, oh, I just put Bryce Jeff Jets. Bryce Huff Jets. Some of it putting words together. All right, his number, oh, 47, 47. Okay, sounds close. So yeah, ugly number, but hey, he made plays. He said, a brilliant past Russian specialist, even as a rotational player, he recorded double digit sex. Now it won't be easy, but if anybody can pull it off his EDC big truss. You a week, see, it's frustrating all over again. Because I was going to say, could always use some more past Russia's. We had your David and Clanny, we got nine and a half. I think Calvin or got like eight or nine of sex. I forgot how many he had. But so we had guys that produce sex. But then you look at those guys are free agents. We still got to die for your way. But it's like, we could always use past Russia. But again, it makes me think of last year where we did have past Russia's and we produced MatterBK, produced two and they wasted it, wasted it. Anyway, he said, now if he don't pull it off, I don't doubt EDC will make one of those sneaky one year team friendly deals, but this signing could have us secure a position for down for four years down the line. That would be an interesting one, man. I would like that. I like that idea. I really, really do. Young guy, productive guy, cause that's always nice when somebody is productive. Cause at that point it's not just based off of potential. Cause potential is good, potential is great. But actually seeing that potential get reached, that's even better in my opinion. Because when that potential is getting reached, it's like, oh, okay. It's all coming to fruition. Everything that the teams had hoped about, everything that they envisioned when they selected that player, when they signed that player, it starts happening. So that's a beautiful thing. Let's see how many sacks he got. What he got like 10, right? Oh yeah, yeah. See, he got 10 last year. So he been playing since 2020. And again, sacks don't tell the whole story, but in 2020 he got two. In 2021 he got two. In 2022 he got three and a half. And then this year, shot up to 10. So there's been some improvement. Maybe it was his playing time. Maybe it was his, the opportunity increased. Cause I said in his rookie year he played 14 games. In 2021 he played nine games. In 2022 he played 14 games. And then this year he played 17. So I think that's it. And they say he didn't, not even a starter. Not even a starter. So again, like you said, you did say pass rush specialist. So I think the Jets, they must have certainly looked at him like that as well and been like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He is definitely a pass rush specialist because they probably brought him out for pass rushing downs and say, Bryce, go hunt. Next question came from my guy, Robert. He said, what's up with engraving? Pray all this well with you and the fan. Appreciate that. He said, I had two questions. One, with the recent struggles and injuries with Rashad Bateman and the lack of production from a doubt fairway, do you believe it would be a good idea to let them walk? Oh, it's tricky. With Rashad Bateman, I've been thinking about this a lot even after I said that I had the hope that they pick up the fifth year option. And I do, like if I wish they could like put it on pause for a year and be like, all right, we won't pick it up now, but we could pick it up next year, but you can't do that. You got to make a decision this year. I just, I just want to see if they can get him involved. Like Odell Beckham, we'll see what happens with him. But even if he's going, even if, regardless of what happens with Odell Beckham, I think he's going to be going. But regardless of what happens with him, get Rashad Bateman more involved. And we just got to hope that he has a healthy off season because that's been one of the biggest things. He ain't been healthy. He has not been healthy. And you mentioned it too. You said with the recent struggles and injuries with Rashad Bateman. So yeah, he ain't been healthy, but it's the off script stuff where there's the struggle. I mean, it's just, it's the on script stuff too. It's just him and Lamar, they lack that connection, man. They really do. They lack it. So I would want to give it one more year. So I guess I actually would, I guess I would actually change my mind on the Rashad Bateman fifth year option. I guess I would decline it for now and just hope that he has a Patrick Queen type of fifth year option declined. Because it's going to be, he was drafted in 2020, so 2020, 2021, 2022. No, he wasn't. Yeah, I thought he was drafted in 2020. It was a 2021. Maybe it was 2021. I think it was 2021. So 2021, 2022, 2023. So yeah, it was 2021. It's the third year and it's not all his fault now. Some is on Lamar, some is on him, some is on this. So it ain't all on Rashad Bateman. So let's make sure that's clear because there have been times where he been open and Lamar just straight up missed him. So there have been times where he dropped and then there had been him being hurt. There's been a lot of, all of that. But a year four, we can't keep hoping for potential. We can hope for it, obviously, but you can't keep banking on it because something's gotta give. So I guess I would change my tune on the fifth year option and I would decline it for now and just, but decline it, but really try to get him involved this year. Like really try it. Really try and just try to get the most out of him. Hope he has a healthy off season and then just go from there. But I think that with that being said with Rashad Bateman, yeah, that's what I would do. So not letting them walk, but just seeing how this fourth year goes. Declining the fifth year option and seeing how the fourth year goes. And the same with a da fe away. Just hoping that they can get some production, more production, because they're not bad players. They just ain't turned that corner yet. They're not bad players at all. They just ain't turned the corner yet. And sometimes, hey, sometimes a change of scenery is needed in order to really get the best out of somebody. So that could be it. Who knows? So I guess we'll see eventually. So yeah, same with a da fe away. Anyway, he said, and what do you think about EDC creating a Florida All-Star team going after Hollywood and Calver really? You know my answer to that. I know you know my answer already. So I ain't, that's not even a question.
