 You too team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave in here with another video another episode of NFL questions from subs A series where you can ask me any NFL question you want to and we answered in a video just like this If you want to be part of it You can send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com or for the patrons You can send it directly on patreon and if you want to become a team keep it clean patron and join the list of people that You see you can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids and if you don't want to do that that's fine, too I still love you team keep it clean. We got some great questions like we always do Let's do it next question came from a guy baby. He said man with a couple of weeks This has been for the Ravens lots of loss and gain in the running game last year Williams was on the Ravens practice squad and he by far knows his offense better than any other back We have I say Tyson Williams should be the premier back There's no question on his talent level and ability to make good decisions in this process He is the number one back especially after proving point in the preseason Amar will only make him better as he did with JK and Gus Thanks for all the positivity even when things look down right now at them for these Ravens hashtag positive Appreciate it BB and um, I think we would all would agree with that for sure We all would agree with that for sure that Tyson Williams Yeah, that's your guy. That's your guy. That's your number one back. That's your starter He has the knowledge of the of the playbook over everybody else Excuse me. I didn't even have breakfast yet, but he has the knowledge of the playbook over everybody else So that goes to his advantage and he has shown you in the preseason what he can do and again Just a quick reminder Tyson Williams. Yes in the preseason. He looked good. He was going against backups He sure was but at the same time he was playing with backups as well. So Imagine him with the starting offensive line Starting wide receivers starting tight end. So you have all those threats out there All those legitimate threats out there not to say that the guys that he was playing with weren't but you have your top guys out there now So imagine that and then on top of that what makes you even better is Lamar Jackson is lined up next to you in the threat It's the threat of Lamar Jackson taking off too Defenses got to watch that literally every single play Every single every single like I'm thinking about it now I never really thought about it like that before but I'm thinking about it now like Imagine literally on every single play. You got a wonder if Lamar Jackson is going to take off Even if they come out and spray it if it's the empty back for you. You still got a wonder like man that Again, he's elite, but that's why it is he is just so stressful To think about I could imagine being a fan of another team and we going against Lamar Jackson And yeah, I would I would hear everything that the media says, but if I'm seeing this guy for myself I'm like, what? Please media don't know what they talking about. I'll be stressed out like crazy for my team I'll be think oh boy. We got to play Lamar. Oh, here we go, man. Oh Boy cuz that's that's like again. It's my first time like really really thinking about that. That's that's scary So with Tyson Williams and just all the running backs back that they they benefit so much But Tyson has a lot of stuff going in his favor and it does make sense like I say everything you said it makes sense Why he should be the number one first question came from a guy JD 118. He said that low engraving the team keep it clean Thank you for having me. I've been a diehard Ravens fan since day one My question is how well do you think the offensive line will hold up during the later part of the season? Are we built to withstand the last five games of the season which I believe will be critical to get wins And get the Ravens into the playoffs. Well, um, we're gonna see we're gonna see from jump I think one of the biggest things that we got a hope for and it's been rough so far It's really just health health is first and foremost because if you don't have health You can't have a good season, but you also can't have a bad. So you can't have a season at all So that's the biggest thing that we hope for and then of course Success with the offensive line them jailing with each other then getting more familiar with each other and getting more comfortable in building That chemistry up and with the offensive line Like my god cam says man, they got to be one. They got to be one because it is where somebody is weak Then that means they're all weak So you are just as strong as the person that you're next to and y'all got to be on point So we'll start seeing how well they're built Starting with week one and then there may be some growing pains because they haven't played that much together They practice obviously, but they haven't played that much together So but I think they'll be built for the long haul obviously the more that they play together the more Familiar they get with one another next question came from my guy Christian. He said ain't great. And thank you for this opportunity I've been following the channel since the last playoff game any for the sad face. Oh, yeah That was a big yikes game. He said I hope all is well God bless you and your family and let's have a good but also healthy season. Look at that C team keeping clean We be we all be on the same page. He said my question is do you see the Ravens leaning more to more past plays? I know they're never going to get away from the run. That's not who we are But before the balance was 70 30 Can you see us going 50 50 if not more passing since our best offensive weapons besides the baby goat is our past Catch us. Thank you again and go Ravens Yeah, I could definitely see them passing the ball more as far as a split I think it all just depends on the flow of a game but you don't drive to receivers in the first and fourth round and You don't bring in a Sammy Watkins. You don't add a TT and Kiki for no reason You don't do that for no reason. So we know and Ravens know we know what's been holding them back And the playoffs is the lack of a consistent passing game And just I hate that we got to repeat it so much But hey, the game is about to be in a couple days. So we'll see how this stuff starts changing But the thing to me what's been my biggest problem with the passing game is the lack of getting Everybody involved in playing them to their strengths. I hate saying it so much But I gotta say it so much because that's just what it is for me So hopefully this year they can do that But I do think they will be passing significantly more than they did for the past couple of seasons Next question came from my guy EJ. He said, what's up in Graven? How's everything? Hope you had a good weekend My question is do you think the Ravens could take a look at Rashawn Melvin? The Panthers just let him go and he had pretty good numbers last year. I It's always a possibility But with Rashawn Melvin, I don't think they'll go back down that road again He was a Raven before And it was up and down But yeah, so I don't think they'll look at him next question came from Corey He said should the Ravens give up one of their running backs for Byron Jones to help at the corner back position Since Peters is out Byron could bring some help to the second area if we made a deal I was thinking the Vate Freeman. What do you think? I don't think anybody would be taking a corner back on our practice squad in a trade for Byron Jones Well taking a running back on our practice squad. I think I said a corner back on our practice club Anyway, the Vante Freeman he signed to the practice squad and ain't nobody trading for no Devontae Freeman for no Byron Jones I would love it, but dolphins would have to be insane to do that trade man Byron Jones would be nice. He is very similar to Marlon Humphrey and what I mean when I say that is he He's not gonna get a bunch of picks every year, but his thing is just making sure that the Y receiver doesn't catch the ball Physical corner back so he would he would fit in well with what the Ravens do but price tag too much Ravens got like I think they got like three mil and I think they had the three mil before they signed Latavius Murray So now but and again they they could find a way to fit them if they really want but it just it'll be too much Flipping around with the cap and all that and it just at that definitely wouldn't happen It'd be nice, but it definitely won't happen. Next question or maybe comment came from Manuel So what's up in Raven shout out from Mexico? I was wondering if you could deliver this message to team keep it clean for me I know these past few days are feeling like everything is gloom and doom with all these injuries And it's not even the start of the season and we feel like a mid-season disaster I want to say to you that the response of Eric the cost on getting players to cover enough of what our injured Ravens can do has been quick and decisive in order to be ready for what seems like an impossible task for us fans But let me remind everyone of a game that we took for granted and barely got out of Everyone remembers the 2015 game against Cleveland and oh boy We decimated on personnel that game and still we were about to lose that one to a field goal But what did the Ravens do that reminded me of our good old general never give up after watching that kick six That let me know that in life for as much gloom and doom as we have around us to never give up And that is what the Ravens are doing They're fighting to get everything ready for the start of the season Despite their major setbacks because they know that once you enter the battle with the loser mentality You lost without doing anything stay safe team keep it clean And if everything clicks we can rest assured that Lamar will retire his first number after facing Brady in the Super Bowl Hey, that would be great to me. And yeah, the season again It hasn't even started yet for the Ravens So it's definitely not over and they are in still in good shape to do some damage this season So it's all about how they respond out now It'll be a little more on every player a little more on every coach, but yeah, they can get the job done Still next question came from a guy Devonte I'm sure he liked him about the Devonte Freeman signing anyway He said a engraving watch your videos now so much that me and my woman look forward to your video Okay, appreciate job me. I knew it was real when she started asking what a engraving said about it Hey, I appreciate that He said lol I love that woman, but now all jokes aside, do you think by Lamar running so much? It affects his QB mechanics sometimes think about it He gets running back carries and then he is expected to drop back and have great mechanics Fatigue has to play a part somewhere in it in my opinion. That's an extremely tall task I can see if he just scrambled when needed, but the carries I think may affect him a little just wanted to know your take on it Thanks for the videos man. You help out a lot more than you may know. I appreciate that Devonte And shout out to you and your lady to me. Oh, that's a really good. That's a really good question because Yeah, he does run the ball a good amount of times and and he's very effective at it, too um it could but uh No, I Think this year will really answer that because and I think with his mechanics. I think it was about more so about What he had been taught for so long Because now he changed I don't I don't think he worked with his I think Josh Harris That was his old QB coach for the for the longest. I don't think he worked with him anymore This offseason and he worked with Andy something and and they even mentioned somebody mentioned him in question from subscribers in a couple Days after that Lamar had mentioned him in a depressing I was like, oh, that's the name that the guy was talking about and then he'd work with a lot with James Urban is off-season too But so I think with him I know I don't think the one has to do with the other Now about him being tired from having to do so much sometimes. Yeah, I could see that part but no, I don't think one has to do with the other as far as mechanics because Because when you're running the ball, you're running the ball and when you're passing the ball You're passing ball is two completely different elements of the game And sometimes you combine them because you sometimes you got a run to pass and you got a run away Because you're offensive line and on a really block anybody so all those people come and they try to get you But anyway, no, no, I don't I don't really think one has to necessarily do with the other But this year we should see a big difference in Lamar as far as mechanics because that's been one of the things that he's needed to work on and that's one of the biggest areas he's needed to improve on and I know we just got a small glimpse But it looked like From what we saw in that preseason game that first drive and that's all we saw from Lamar but we've seen videos and stuff too, but It looks like his mechanics have improved a lot and it's throwing motion is smoother But we'll see the full size no more samples, but we'll see the full thing come Monday night Next question came from a guy job. Oh, he said prayers for our running backs MP and Fort with the injuries to our running backs Do you see us drafting running backs during the draft? Trust me? I hope you Gus JK and he'll come back better than ever, but we can't overlook how serious this injury is um, it's I mean, I guess it's never too early to think about the draft, but Yeah, I mean there's always the chance that the Ravens could take a running back during the draft because they run so much but there's also a Chance that they get these undrafted rookie free agent guys and make them shine, too So with JK with JK I don't see them taking around back early because they just took JK Dobbins in a second round by the time that draft rolls around And they will have had they will have taken JK Dobbins in a second round two years ago So I don't see them taking a running back early But so yeah, I can see them taking one late or undrafted, but the rounds won through Five I say no and next question came from my guy Lee B And real quick before we get into it. I gotta say I appreciate y'all so much for sending all of these to the correct email Thank you for that because it's it's getting to it was already been to the point for a long time, but We especially with the season starting now like it's we get we get so many questions And we're not gonna be able to answer all of them. We're just not cuz we're gonna get questions every single week We're gonna be backed up and stuff is gonna be crazy But thank you for making things in the process a lot easier by sending it to the correct email Thank you for that. Anyway, our next question came from my guy Lee said adversity affects people differently Some people let their self-respect be robbed by their self pity I don't think coach hardball is gonna let this team wallow and self pity But rather use this adversity to motivate his coaches players an entire team to reach new goals. They never imagine So, yeah, I I agree. I agree and that's something that we talked about like with the 2015 season They had a lot of injuries there starters that every single position got hurt Except fullback, but with that being said they still fought they fought in every game and Except they only got whooped in them two games But besides that they fought in every single game And that just showed like a these do they gonna play for hardball they gonna play for me They gonna fight for him and they did and this year like they're in much better shape than they were in 2015 So they'll be fine ex question came from my guy YPC. He said ain't great even hope you doing good Oh, yeah, we doing real good. I appreciate that He said, do you think that adding living on bail could be a potential to having a two-head monster backs while JK is out For the year with Gus Edwards. Oh Oh Okay, I just realized what this is really said And we always say timing is everything I see that this question came on September 8th So it was actually before Gus Edwards went out with injury and we'll just finish it We're not gonna take it out. But just to really just give you just to let how quickly things can change He said While JK is out for the year with Gus Edwards and leave me on bail Can it be a dynamic duo just like with the Browns Nick Chubb and Karim Hunt because both backs have similar traits That's painful right there and that ooh, man, that's tough man So yeah, it's unfortunate that we we won't ever get to answer that question and speaking of injuries next question came from my guy Isaac, he said a engraving hope this message finds you in a fam doing well Now I like many other Ravens fans have been really concerned with the injuries that have been piling up since training camp began He sent this on September 7th. So this was even before Gus Edwards and before Marcus Peters as well He said I count at least three season-ending injuries with Ford Dobbins and now Justice Hill Well ramp that up to five. I want to address the elephant in the room Is this still seriously bad luck or is this a result of bad coaching? At what point does all of this stop being bad luck and it might be time for our strength and conditioning team or other coaches to Take responsibility for all of these injuries because our players aren't adequately prepared We definitely shouldn't have gotten so many injuries without even playing the first game of the season Are we pushing our players way too hard? We'd love to hear your thoughts on it much love to you and team keep it clean Thank you. That is a great question. It's something that a lot of people have been talking about Some people have been talking about maybe it's the Ravens their facility. That's not their facility Their facility is top-notch Some people say maybe it's the strength and conditioning coach or the players just they they getting pushed too hard That's something that I was thinking about possibly Because I don't know man I then sometimes I sometimes I think oh, maybe was it cuz the last season to last see maybe it's the like the linger in the Facts are like, I don't think so Cuz this thing maybe last season they didn't have an offseason But now this season they have an offseason and it probably got a little ramped up and whatnot I don't think that's it though But I think it's just and I don't believe in bad luck or luck at all but with the It's just unfortunate man It's just stuff just been happening a little more for the Ravens in the norm Cuz they said Marcus Peters Gus out non-contact non-contact So and with Justice Hill I Don't I think he was a non-contact to LJ Fort was on the field And JK Dobbins was on the field of the in the Washington game So it's just been rough man But the guys like Marcus Marquise Brown Hollywood, so we're calling Marquise Brown Miles Boykin Who else Sammy Watkins at one time too, I think well, no not Sam Watkins had a he had a different injury, but There was oh Dionne Kane. I think it was no he had an undisclosed injury too Maybe it was Justice Hill But when all them guys were dealing with hamstring injuries like all of them and And and and Sammy Watkins was hurt Dionne Kane was hurt which our Bateman got hurt So there's something something I don't know what it is because my expertise is definitely not in the medical field I mean my expertise ain't even barely with football, but it's something to where it's like Why why because yeah the They're freak injuries and freak injuries do happen, but when you look at the consistency These torn ACL I think just as he was a torn Achilles though But though on and done all those hamstring injuries and then the groin cuz Marlon Humphrey was a groin injury Rashad Bateman was a groin injury And it's like No, man, I don't know. I just I don't know man. So I really can't call it but They they definitely you know, they're gonna take a deep dive into this thing this offseason I know you can't really do much right now Since the season is here But you so you could take a like a little dive, but you can't take a deep dive into it. So Mmm. It's something that's very very concerning. Obviously Like if there was like one or two and that was it and maybe one or two of each injury But okay, but it's been with three ACLs Justice Hill killies and then all autumn hamstrings. So we're seeing consistency with it And the consistency is what's the biggest concern? So it seems it seems like something is wrong I don't know what it is. Like I said, medical field no clue But yeah, they got to get to the bottom of that I guess this offseason next question came from my boy mad feet But he said engraving miss a team keeping clean himself. Hope you in the family doing well We're doing really good. I appreciate you. My question is since the Ravens already signed the Vonte female and Levy To the practice squad would it make sense to keep both or just let them show what they're about and pick one Hope you in the fam have a blessed day team. Keep it clean. Appreciate it, man Um, I think everything just really depends on health both of them have an opportunity to sort of audition for the Ravens I was just talking to one of my guys about this whole practice squad procedure versus active roster And yeah, it is like in an extended audition and extended interview and extended trial and extended workout Because you're not on the active roster you're on the practice squad. So you're on the team, but you're not on the team team So they can't do the two call-ups. They can sort of experiment with them and whatnot see how both of them guys are But I mean you got to expect Well, yeah, they don't have to so yeah, actually, you don't have to expect it I was gonna say you got to expect them to call up one At least to the active roster, but they don't really have to right now. They can just use both as game They call ups so um But with the Gus Elwood situation One of them is maybe both of them will get called up for the game But if they definitely both get in action real real soon sooner than expected probably so You may not even need to decide on one They may decide up because they got like a lot of running backs right now But they keep just they just keep getting hit so hard and they want to now stay ready So they ain't got to get ready again because they were ready before but then injuries made them not so ready So I think it all just depends it depends on health. It depends on roster It just depends on so much. So I don't think it's really about them keeping one over the other It just depends on so many other Moves and things that happen with guys around them on a roster next question came from my guy Tim are he said hey My roots go back to 1957 when I met the best defensive end of all-time Gino machete the most humble star I had ever seen when Bell comes in the game They know that it's going to be a pass. I was hoping for trading for a sharp penny The Tavius Murray is a good tandem back with Gus Edwards. Now. He sent this on September 7th so before the Gus Edwards Before he got hurt and also before the Raven sign the Tavius Murray days later So yeah, you end up getting exactly what you asked for next question came from my guy Adam L You said with the signing of Trent and Cannon, what do you think this means for Levy on bill? They just meant that was not gonna play special teams Nobody expected in the play special teams and nobody thought he was gonna ever play special team So that that was it a question came from a guy Eddie 1835. You said what's up in gravy and team keep it clean I've been watching the channel since the late 2018 Raven season. Love how you wrapped the Ravens and cover the game of football Appreciate that Eddie due to our injuries to our starting three running backs being out for the year That's devastating for any fan of any team in general, but with the Raven signing Tyson Williams Devontae Freeman Levy on bail and the Tavius Murray Who do you think will win the starting running pack position for the 2021 season for the Ravens and who do you like to? Who would you like to see when the position? I think right now? It's it's all Tyson and it's his job to lose Because he knows a playbook better than everybody else because he's been here since last year So he one of the biggest things that he has to do is not fumble You can't fumble because hardball super short leash already with young guys So if you are a young guy, especially and you got those veterans right on your tail You better not drop that ball. Um, but he just got to keep doing what he been doing trusting yourself believing yourself Yeah, it's gonna be guys looking over your shoulder because they want to be out there They want to be the number one backs too because they all have been number one backs before You have never been a number one back before in the NFL All of those guys have been number one backs before all of them has rushed for over a thousand yards I started running backs before they got that experience over you. So it's your job To show the coaches that a I can hold this down I can end up being another running back that goes for over a thousand yards and is the number one back in the NFL as I'm a starter So Tyson William I hope that he gets in and I hope that he holds it down because it's one thing to get it It's one thing they'll get it by default because right now he has it by default But it'd be another thing for him to earn it and keep it and hold it down Especially when you have all of that but like all of that behind you and that's a lot like that's a lot of pressure on him You got late leave me on bail Once regarded one of the best running backs in the league the Vonte Freeman He's also runs to guard is one of the best running backs in the league And you got you still got Latavius Murray He'd be even good to now Then you got Trent and Ken and the young speedster now Trent Ken and I don't think he poses a threat But still you got a lot behind you right now. So Yeah, he got to be on he got to there's a lot of pressure on him But again, like I said, he got a distrust in himself
