I appreciate y'all Team Keep It Clean, this is the very first episode of Questions from subscribers that's happening after the 53 man roster and now that we are into the regular season, we done made it y'all, we done made it, but anyway, we got some great questions as we always do every single time, without further ado, let's get into it. So what I have to do is go through my phone and find some questions that some people sent to me about the Ravens, so this is the first one. Oh, so that's what you got. Mm-hmm. I was like, uh-huh, why didn't we stop? Alright. Our first question came from our guy Griff. He said, hey man, hope all is well. Just want your thoughts on this. In the wake of the JK Dobbins unfortunate news, how do you feel about how it went down? The old line has been banged up and haven't been playing together long. We supposedly are supposed to be not showing our hand in the preseason, but in the final preseason game they decided to try out a screen because you and most Ravens fans know we never run screens, which look poorly ran I might add, and JK got hurt. It happened. I don't think like, when I look at this in hindsight, yeah, we all wish that JK would have never been out there and whatnot, we wish that it would have never happened, but it happened and I don't feel like, oh, the coaches, they made just such a bad decision. No, this was the very first time that all the starters were playing together. So they put, they trusted all those offensive linemen with Lamar Jackson out there. They trusted all those offensive linemen with JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards back there because they're their starters. So it happened. Yeah, I think Bozeman, I think it was Bozeman that missed the block where the guy ended up tackling JK, but it happens. I don't feel like the coaching staff failed the Ravens or anything like that. It's just something that was, it was just an unfortunate circumstance. Well, I just got to look it up. All right, that's one question. And next question came from my guy Dylan. He said in Graven, hope this email finds you well and all this good down there in Florida. Appreciate it. He said, we are heartbroken about the Dobbins injury. This was his year to really emerge as a top back in the league. I was expecting him to have a pro bowl type of year, 1300 yards, 10 plus touchdowns. But with that being said, do you think we should bring in a familiar face in Levy on bail? No. He could bring another element of his offense with his receiving ability. That's good. He may not be the player he used to be, but being in this Ravens running game could make him have a great year. And yes, he could be a problem in the locker room, but I think he could really fit with this team, especially with Gus, their games compliment each other well. And they both wrapped as a side hustle. What do you think? Take it easy. We under two weeks to the start of the ring season. I hope so. But Levy on bail. No, not at all. He is, his style is just not a good fit for the Ravens at all. The way that he runs, he's too patient of a runner to be behind this Ravens offensive line. The way that they run the ball, you have to make quick, quick, quick decisions. And that's not Levy on bail style. So I will say no. Next question came from a boy filled. He said, my answer is no at bringing in another running back. The reason is because we may need to open a roster spot to keep seven wide receivers. Why? Because Baben is recovering from growing surgery and is likely to miss the beginning of the season. And Hollywood is still dealing with the injury. Well, now he's healthy. So that's good. That's actually great. So I would like to see Benjamin Victor make the roster over Boykin due to his height and leaping advantage he's shown over DBs and safeties the last two weeks of the preseason. I thought that was going to happen. I really did. I thought that if they kept seven receivers and you were spot on about that. If they kept seven receivers, I thought that Victor was for sure going to get in. But they do have them on the practice squad. Now Boykin is on injured reserve. So maybe those first couple of weeks and whatnot, Victor will get the call up to the active roster since they have them available now. But with Boykin just making a roster, I guess Ravens just, I think they really want to see what he can do with these new wide receiver coaches and with this new system that they will not brand new system, but just since they're going to be implementing some new things, we hope, I think they just really, they know Boykin got that potential. They know he can do some stuff and I guess they didn't want to give up on him yet, which I'm glad about. All right. Next question came from a boy Chase. He said he noticed in preseason that Devon Gray and Jake Verity were both wearing number 15. I thought only one person per team could wear each number. Just curious on this or is it just an oversight by them or is it just me being uneducated in this area? Hope this question finds you and your family well and as always keep it clean. Appreciate it Chase. Yeah. It's just preseason. Preseason, sometimes guys will have the same number, but it doesn't happen in regular season. Everybody got to have their own thing regular season. But preseason, they can share numbers as we saw with a lot of guys. Next question came from my guy Raven Pryor. He said, I ain't gravy. It's your boy Raven Pryor. Sorry to send you a message so late, but I just stopped driving and didn't want to lose my thought that was in my head. Hey, that happens to me all the time. So I know exactly what you're going through. He said, I don't think we need any replacements at this time because Gus, the bus is the one who Raven's trust. That's why they paid him and now the NFL will be in for a show. Yeah. I, yeah, Gus Edwards, Tyson Williams, Justice Hill. But I still think they'll end up signing somebody, especially since they said they aren't looking to sign anymore. They didn't say that. They said they trust the guys that they have. And last time they said that, yeah, we remember what happened. So I expected them to sign somebody. I would be fine if they roll with what they got. But I think what they'll do is just wait, wait it out. They'll go through week one against the radar, see how things go then. And then they could sign somebody after that since their salary wouldn't be guaranteed after week one. Next question came from my guy, Cody. He said, ain't great. And hope all is well. Been really enjoying the preseason streams. Appreciate it. My question from subscribers is since it seems Patrick Queen is looking to break out again after already having an impressive rookie year. It seems he may become one of the best, if not the best middle lineback in the league. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down there, my friend. Little early for that. Got to pump the brakes. Hopefully you end up being right, but whoa. He said, if he ends up having all the fame career here in Baltimore, I was wondering if you think PQ's legacy in Baltimore would be diminished given the legacy Ray Lewis left behind. I fear that while we would all still adore PQ at the end of the day, he will always still be compared to Ray Lewis, who few middle linebackers in history can hold a candle to. Thanks much love and stay safe. Well, of course, of course, he's a middle linebacker for the Ravens. He's always going to be compared to Ray Lewis. Ray that plays that position after him will always be compared to him. Daryl Smith, Danelle Ellaby, Bart Scott, CJ Mosley, Patrick Queen, everybody's going to be compared to him. And it's not necessarily fair to them, but it is what it is. It's just like any free safety that we get, any true free safety that we get, they're going to be compared to Ed Reid. And that's definitely not fair to them because Ed Reid is, yeah. But it doesn't diminish. It wouldn't diminish anything that Patrick Queen would do. But yeah, that comparison is always going to be there. And there's always going to be the appreciation for both. But with Ray Lewis, with everything that he did for the team from jump and him being somebody that was on a team from jump from the start, he'll always hold that extra special place in Ravens fans hearts. Next question came from my boy, Anthony L. He said, Hey, hope everything is well with you and the fans, especially in this unfortunate hurricane season. But not taking anything away from Gus and of course, Lamar. With JK out for the season. Do you think that puts even more pressure on the passing game? Hmm. That is a really, really good question. If it puts more pressure on the passing game, I do think it does put a little bit more because with JK, you knew what he could bring to the table. And he was about to bring even more to the table because last year with no offseason with no preseason with no training camp, you saw how he did. And he wasn't even a starter half the time. So this year, he was getting ready to be a starter and be used a lot more and just be implemented into the offense that much more. But now it's just Gus and Tyson and Justice Hill. And it's of course, no disrespect to those guys at all, because we know that they're going to they're going to bring it to they for sure going to bring it. But now when you lose a key piece of what your offense was planning, somebody that your offense was planning to have heavily involved, you got to make adjustments. So you lose one weapon. That means all the other weapons got to step up that much more. So with the passing game. Yeah, I do think it does put a little extra pressure on the passing game. But what really where it really matters and what really makes it depend on if the passing game has more pressure or not is how the running backs perform, how Gus Edwards performs. Well, even though we know Gus Edwards is going to do his thing, but how Tyson Williams performs now with the starters. Now he'll be going up against starters, but now he also be playing with starters to how Justice Hill performs. So it all the pressure just all depends on how everybody performs in J.K.'s absence. Next question and the last question on this episode of NFL Questions from subscribers. And this has just really been centered around J.K. Dobbins and his him being lost for the season. But it came from my guy, Eden Onig. Appreciate you, Eden Onig, shout out to you, man. He said, I engrave and I know it's been a minute. It has been, but I hope you and the family and Pookie are doing well. We are doing really good. My question is a simple one. So I'll get to it in your opinion. Will Greg Romans offense change with the absence of J.K. in the backfield? Hard to see J.K. go down like that. Didn't look as bad as Boyle, but still gut wrenching. Hope both players return healthy, strong and continue playing like a raven. Love the channel. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it, Eden Onig. So will this force Greg Romans offense to change with J.K. being out? Um, I think slightly, slightly, because you obviously had plans like similar, very similar to the last question. You obviously had plans on what you were going to do with J.K. Dobbins, um, you had different plays for him in mind, uh, just using him in different ways. You had it in mind, um, but now he's going. So yeah, the offense will certainly change because you're not going to use Gus Edwards, the same way you will use the J.K. Dobbins and with Tyson Williams, we're going to see how they use him too. So yeah, things will definitely change. I don't think it's like, oh man, we got to throw away everything. We got to start from scratch because it's not like that. It is a big blow. But again, like we said before, it is a blow that they can withstand, um, because they have guys in place. And then especially with Lamar being back there, every running back benefits off of him big time because defense is so focused on him. They may lose interest in the running back or defense will focus on that running back and then they end up losing him. So it works both ways. Uh, so I don't think the offense has to go through any like drastic changes or anything like that, but it's certainly going to see some difference.
