 What I love about all of our conversations, especially with questions from subs and different stuff in the comments section on Twitter, everything, especially when people have differing opinions, is that people can present stuff in a different way that me or somebody else might not have been thinking about before and I always appreciate that. Might not always agree with it. Like I know some of y'all don't always agree with me but that's fine. I always appreciate the different viewpoints and the different reasoning that people will bring out their arguments and their debates and just really more so in their conversations because it just, it makes for fun conversation. And it's like, oh, okay, this is why I see it this way and you like, oh, well, this is why I see it this way and it's just nice to go back and forth in a respectful way. When it gets to disrespect, it ain't fun no more but when it's respectful, it's cool. And like I said, even if at the end of the day, I feel the way that I feel and somebody else feels the way that they feel, it's still all love at the end of the day, at least from my end. My God, Nazarene, I always really appreciate Nazarene's comments, questions, the things that he brings out because again, and he said it before that he likes to see stuff from the other side, so to speak. He likes to see stuff, sort of try to go against the grain a little bit. So this next question that he sent and appreciate you also being a patron man. This next question that he sent was very interesting. It was an interesting point of view or something that thought about a little bit but not really in depth like that. And the question that it is, is there now more pressure on the defense rather than the offense? Now initially, when I think about a question like that, I'm like, no, no, because they did add Roe Quonsmith. The defense had already been getting better. So I feel like it's actually not necessarily less pressure on the defense but I feel like life has been made that much easier for the defense. They're still gonna have their challenges and whatnot but I feel like life has been made that much easier for them because they just got all these playmakers everywhere. All these certified playmakers and these guys that have made a name for themselves in the league already. They got some quality guys there. You got obviously Marlon Humphrey. You got Marcus Peters. You got Roe Quonsmith, even Patrick Queen. He ain't there now, man. He's starting to really do his thing a lot better. Justin Houston. He's been Raven's best pass rusher. I feel like he getting there. They getting Tyus Bowser back. David Ajaubo, maybe he'll play the, we'll see. But then again, they add Roe Quonsmith and it's like the Ravens, they got some guys over there now, man. They do. Then they got some guys who are not as established but guys that can still help get the job done. So I feel like there would be more pressure actually on the offense. Cause for this game specifically, but even really moving forward, but really this game specifically, possibly no Mark Andrews, probably no Mark Andrews, Rashad Bateman out. So now you got a lot of guys who just, and the markets Robinson, we'll see what happens with him, but either way he won't be 100%. So he may be on the unlimited snap count. We'll see Gus Edwards out. So I feel like that's more pressure on the offense in my opinion, but let's get to his question, his reasoning and his breakdown for the why. He said, what's good fam? Hey, everything is good, man. I hope everything is good with you and really all of y'all, man. I really love y'all. And I really like, I really appreciate what y'all do. Seriously, man. I appreciate what y'all do. I appreciate what y'all bring to the table. I appreciate just everything and support. I appreciate it like crazy, man. I really do. Man, just thinking about it right now. I don't know why it came out of nowhere, but I'm kind of like getting emotional right now. Cause I just, the support is just crazy, man. It's crazy, man, but I appreciate y'all so much. And I don't think y'all realize how much I do, man, for real. But anyway, he said, hey, I know you probably aren't as excited about us getting Roquan Smith, but think of it like this. The pressure is all on the defense now, literally. I think that's good for Lamar. What I also know is when our defense is playing at a high level, it does something to the offense, especially Lamar. The defense creating turnovers does something to Lamar. I'm telling you, man, if this defense can do what they did in 2019 or better with this version of Lamar, bro, that's pressure for the other teams. Now, if the defense is creating turnovers and playing really good, well, yeah, that does help Lamar cause that helps the offense. It would help put them in good positions, especially turnovers. But if they make in stops, that helps the offense because that gives the offense more opportunities to go get points, for sure. If they get in turnovers, that puts the offense in better field position and easier field position to go get points. So certainly that definitely helps them out. Now, you referenced 2019. Now, in 2019, I think one of the best defenses, Raven's best defense in 2019 was actually their offense. Cause their offense was going crazy. Again, every time we referenced 2019, I know 2019 like a gift in the curse cause everything is compared to 2019. But 2019, like Raven's offense, they were going crazy. So that made the defenses, it made stuff easier to defend. It made opposing teams' offenses more one dimensional cause the Raven's offense was score and score and score in most games, not all of them, but a lot of games, they were score and score and score and score and these teams got to play catch up and the Ravens, when they were score, score, score, they would be running the ball, they'd be doing the time possession thing. It'd just be going crazy. And that would allow the defense to just be like, all right, we could just sit back, we'll let our pass rushes go, we'll go get some interceptions and whatnot. It was crazy to watch, but that's why I always say that that season was not real. It wasn't real. Well, the ending was real. But anyway, what he said, I'll tell you another thing too. This team is so disrespected by the fans. Man, I'm telling you, some of us see it. We are far from trash. We have the most talented roster in the NFL. That's an interesting one right there. I disagree with it, but let me see what else you got, the most talented roster in the NFL. Let me see what you got to say, because I disagree with that one. But anyway, he said, I want to point out a myth while I'm at it, okay? Before that, let me ask everyone a question. Who is Patrick Mahomes number one wide receiver? His number one wide receiver is definitely Travis Kelsey. I was talking to another Ravens fan who happens to be a big football fan like me. He asked me, who was Mahomes wide receiver one? And I said, no one. He said, no bro, it's Kelsey. Him making that statement made me smile super hard because he is absolutely right. I instantly was like, let's go as I dap them up in excitement. And Graven bro, I told you a week or two ago that our offensive line was top five in the league and the rankings this week have us at number three. Are they? I don't know. See, this is why I always say, if those were the rankings, that's cool. I just don't be seeing that, man. Maybe I'm looking at it from a completely different point of view or something. I just don't, I don't see top three offensive line when I look at the Ravens offensive line. It's weird because like with the rankings, I know, like, I know, was it you that brought it up? But somebody brought it up. Oh no, it's my guy, Mackay. He was like, it was last week. I think it was before the Bucks game. He was like, hey, before the Bucks game, the Ravens offense was like number six overall, something like that. When I look at Ravens offense, I don't be seeing no number six overall offense. But the defense, they were ranked like, I think in the 20s or something like that. But when I look at the defense, it feels like the defense actually ain't that bad. So it's like with numbers and with the offensive line, if they all ranked number three, cool, but I don't see a number three overall offensive line to me. That's just me though. So I feel like with the numbers, they like, they're weird, man. But anyway, let's keep going. He said, Lamar has the protection. Lamar's weapons are better than Roger's weapons right now. Hold up, see, that's one thing that I always don't like when Ravens fans do. They like comparing, especially with the offense. They're like, well, like somebody did it in the comment section of a video that we put out yesterday. They were like, well, look at the bingles, the Raiders, who else? They were named, it was some other teams too. I forgot, oh, I think they mentioned the Rams. But they mentioned all these teams and they were like, look what they're doing with all that talent at wide receiver. They're losing. And I said, well, I was referring to them. I said, that's funny that you coincidentally, you just so happen to mention all the teams with bad records and good receiver, but you don't mention the teams with good records and good receivers. I said, how about you compare them to the Eagles, the Bills. There was some other ones that I forgot. Oh, the Dolphins, you saw that turn around too. And there was some more too that I mentioned, but it's like, with a lot of Ravens fans, they will do that. They're like, hey, let's look at a situation that compares to ours, but the worst example of something, something that's in just a bad position. And let's compare the Ravens to that instead of comparing the Ravens to something that's doing good. Like even before this season started, because the Jets are obviously doing pretty good overall, especially for the Jets. A lot of Ravens fans would always compare. They will be like going into the season, whenever there will be conversations about GM, a draft strategy, a philosophy or this and that, a lot of fans will be like, well, at least we're not the Jets. At least we're not the Jaguars. And it's like, why do you decide to pick from the bottom teams to say, oh, at least we're not them? Shouldn't your expectations be a lot higher, especially for the Ravens? They ain't been around that long and they've had some success. So shouldn't the expectations be higher? Shouldn't you be comparing them to successful teams? That's what I would think. But anyway, he said, Lamar has better weapons than Aaron Rodgers right now. And the defense he has right now, the front seven, Justin Houston, Kaleas Campbell, Justin Matta, BK, Travis Jones, JP Pete, man, I forget JP Pete's there. Patrick Queen, Adolfi away, with Bowser returning and a Jabbo returning. The secondary has Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters, Brandon Stevens, Pepe Williams, Chuck Clark, Kyle Hamilton, Geno Stone and Marcus Williams will be back soon. You hear all them names you mentioned? That's fire right there. All on defense. That's fire though. All on defense, baby. And he ain't even mentioned Roquon Smith. Well, you did earlier, but that defense guy, oh boy, they heavy hit us, huh? Boy, they went in on that defense. But anyway, he said, the defense is excelling right now and gelling together. This is very big. We have to win this here because if we don't or at least get to the AFC championship, we lose as a franchise. Before the season started, people asked me what I felt like, what I felt like the Ravens would go. What I felt like they would do this season. I said, AFC championship. I didn't see them as a Super Bowl team. I would obviously hope to be wrong on that, but I just didn't see them as a Super Bowl team. Anything, of course, is possible, but my thing was AFC championship. That's why I felt like the Ravens, the farthest that they will go this year. Hopefully, hopefully they can blow that out the water and not only get to the Super Bowl, but win it, but I don't know. We'll see. I hope that they do, but that'd be great. But anyway, he said, if we don't or at least get to the AFC championship, we lose as a franchise. Why? Because there are too many contracts coming up in the off-season. I do not expect Marcus Peters to be a Raven next year. Yeah, me neither. He said he priced himself out of here, plus me personally and other fans see that he is gambling in coverage and it is either a pick or a touchdown for the opponents. But I mean, that's nothing new with Marcus. That's his style. That's what he does. Marcus Peters been on that. So with him gambling, yeah, that's just what he does. So with Marcus Peters, that's who he is. A lot of times it's paid off. Sometimes it doesn't. But I mean, I think throughout his career, it's paid off a lot more than it hasn't, but they're gonna be them times with, oh, nice pick. Wow, Marcus Peters smart move. Great job. Then it's gonna be like, oh, Marcus Peters, oh, you got caught looking in the backfield and they caught you over top. It's gonna happen. But that's why I was just talking, well, I told y'all this before too, but I talked to my guy JT about it the other day. I said, man, if Marcus Peters, if he was more of a tackler, and it's like he can be when he wants to be. Sometimes he'd be like, oh, well, it all depends. But if Marcus Peters was more physical, man, he would be the perfect safety. Oh my goodness. He would be so nasty at free safety. He would be nasty at free safety, because that too, man, oh, he would be nasty at free safety. But anyway, he said, we attract good DBs to this team, so I know they will fill his spot. That's no disrespect to him, but yeah, you get it. As for the front seven, man, then boy is gonna be a problem for the next four years, at least if they extend Roquan Smith. I mean, you said if they extend Roquan Smith, I gotta change that to when they extend Roquan Smith. That boy ain't no rental, man. He said, I think the Ravens will extend Roquan Smith and Tag Lamar, or even Paylamar too. That franchise tag is a lot of money, man. If we continue to spread the ball out, we become a chiefs-like team. We are dangerous, bro. We are the Dark Horse team, and I love it. But yeah, keep up the good work, fam, and much love. Appreciate you Nazarene, and much love to you as well. I will probably see y'all most likely sometime tomorrow, unless we end up watching and deciding to cover one of the games today, but I will most likely see y'all tomorrow for the live stream during the game. What should be a fun one? I know we got a lot of questions from subscribers, but we just simply don't have the time to do them all before this game, because as you all have seen, we have been extremely busy. Just, yeah, it's been very busy. Because first we had went, last week we had went to Tampa for that game, and then this past week, as y'all know, we was on the cruise for a little vacation, man. So, and I appreciate y'all being patient with stuff. I appreciate y'all being patient. Like with the videos as they come out, I appreciate y'all, because I know some of them been a little bit late and whatnot, but that internet on that cruise was nothing nice, man. I like being back home, I can't complain over internet, man. I can't, I probably will steal a little bit, but I can't compare to that. Like, oh man, to get a video out, it took a lot of work. Like the quickest that a video will upload would be two hours. That's the quickest that it would upload. Two hours, I had to just go through a lot of hoops to get the videos out, but it's all good, man. It's all part of the process, but I appreciate y'all being patient. I appreciate y'all supporting. But yeah, man. So I will, for anybody that sent questions from subscribers, anybody that sent it on Patreon, anybody that sent it to the email, we'll do those after the Saints game, because again, not much time to do them now. We may do a couple tomorrow, maybe we'll see, but not much time to address them now. And after the Saints game is a bye week. So we'll have plenty of time to go through different questions. But Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all so much. Thank you for everything that y'all do. I'll see y'all sometime tomorrow. Or maybe today we'll see depends on what happens, but until then, we out.
