 With how the Ravens opened up the playbook against the Beals, could something like that possibly backfire on them in the playoffs? What's one significant way the Ravens could actually keep Greg Roman on board, but get creative at the same time? If Matt Judon can keep up this level of play through now and the playoffs, should the Ravens pay him that money and still sign another significant Edge rusher? These and many many more questions on this episode of NFL Question from subscribers. YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is saying Raven here with another video and another episode of NFL questions from subscribers. This is a series where you can ask me any NFL question you want to based off of any NFL team and we answered in a video just like this. Excuse me. I got a little gas from you know them Buffalo wings last night. This video is being recorded the day after the Buffalo Bills game. Today is December 9th. It's December 9th and if you want to be a part of a question from subscribers, you can email me your question at team keep it clean at gmail.com. If you send it in a DM and on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, whatever, we can talk about it. We'll talk about your question, but it won't be part of NFL questions from subscribers. Let's get into the questions from the people that emailed them right away. I'm gonna start with my guy first. Shout out to my guy Josh Hoffman. We're gonna start this question from subscribers off right. He said it's nighttime after we just beat the Bills and I am so distraught with this team right now. Somebody in the live chat, I wish I hadn't forgot who pointed out how Roman was going against his former team. And it was kind of like how it happened with the chiefs where hardball was going against his former head coach. Yes. Yes. The team, they did some unnecessary stuff. They try to get too pretty and they're gonna stay one this time around. But yeah, I wasn't a big fan of a lot of that stuff. Anyway, let's dive into his question. He said 31 and we're not doing a power run by Ingram, Gus or Lamar, not even a quick pass, not a design run to the outside. No, it's some kind of delayed silly handoff up the middle. If I'd have DM'd you before the game and ask you what if Lamar would be lining up at receiver twice on direct snaps to Ingram, what would you have said? I'm betting you'd have said, uh-oh. The Wildcat with Ingram sure was fascinating. I'm sure the defense had no clue what Ingram would be doing with the ball. Please, y'all, make sure y'all get the sarcasm there. Anyway, he said, please, let's take Lamar Jackson out of the backfield. That'll confuse him. We've got RG3 running as a diversion way, way, way in the backfield, I think twice, fooling no one either time. You know things were way off because hardball didn't even feel like we were in position to go for any fourth downed. Yes, they surprisingly didn't go for any, any. Now, my guy Purplebirds, he made a point. He said, well, they want this team's bodies to be as fresh as they possibly can. So maybe they didn't want to go for it on as many fourth downs. Maybe they didn't want to be as aggressive as they normally are because they got another game coming up in just four days. Anyway, he said, I know I'm leaving some out and all together, these are only a few plays, but they can be drive killers. We can't be having that in the playoffs. I agree. I agree. The third and one, well, the third and one that I'm remembering, when they Lamar faked it like he was going to run it in, then they had them do the, had them roll out and then throw the ball to Nick Boyle. And it was a, it was a perfect throw. I just felt like it was a way, I just didn't like that play called on third and one. I thought they should have just ran a ball straight up with Mark Ingram or Gus Edwards and not, not try to get too pretty because they try to get too pretty on that play. And if Nick Boyle would have called it a great, I still wouldn't like the play call, but they just got too pretty and they didn't need to do that. Anyway, he said, I think this coaching staff is very likely to get stupid in the playoff game. That's why I'm so upset by this. I think what we saw is most likely to happen again in the playoffs. It's, it's scary to think about it and you would hope that it's not like that. You would hope they would just play that game, just play that game, play your game. Not saying you can't throw in some different wrinkles here and there, but just some of the, some of the stuff that was going on was like, oh, what? Why? Why? For what? For what? And it was just, I just felt like it was unnecessary. I felt like it was unnecessary. But anyway, he says, so while slightly older than college age, second year player Lamar is maybe getting jittery. The top coaches all with playoff experience and Super Bowl experience seem to be having complete breakdowns against Chiefs and the Beals. How perfect. After this game, I think we need to face facts. We could easily be beaten in the postseason because we still want to toy around with beating ourselves. And I hope that's not the case. I really do. Because again, like we, we saw in the Chiefs game earlier this year, Ravens lost that game by five. They lost that game by five points. But why? Well, and of course, the loss is still a loss. But in that game, they didn't play their game. They didn't play that game. They completely went away from Ravens football, from that style of football and what their style of football has been this year. They completely went away from it. And they try to play Chiefs ball. You are not the Chiefs. You're not the Chiefs. Don't try to play like the Chiefs. Play your game. Chiefs had a poor run defense back then. I'm not sure what it is now, but back then they had a poor run defense. But Ravens came out, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw. Oh, we getting a touchdown? We're going to go for two from jump. For what? Anyway, why are we not past this? What is the reason for this? Do other teams do this stuff? Doesn't bad play calling usually mean wrong play, wrong time? It feels like for us bad, bad play calling is the coaches calling plays from their first grade notebooks written in crayon. I'm wondering if you find this as disquieting as I do. Like you said about last year's wild card game, there was insanity there. Is this more of it? What are we even dealing with here? Could the coaches be buying into the idea that the league figured them out like we hear in the media and acting of that? Is it even possible? That's what it is. If not, what is it? I need to know. It really is almost laugh out loud funny is so stupid. Thank you so much. As always, really looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Shout out to my God, Josh, man. What I'm hoping that it is, is that it's just a case of them trying to sort of be petty with their former team. In this case, Greg Roman with his former team, that's what I'm hoping it is. I'm hoping that I'm hoping that the only thing that it was is just him trying to rub it in the face of this former team that he used to be a coach on. I'm just hoping that it's him just being like, hey, you miss me now, don't you? Look what we're doing over here. And look at the many different ways we can get this thing done over here. Look at what all record is. Look at what yours is, even though your record ain't bad. But look at who you are. Look at what I've become over here. Look at what we're doing. And we're doing this thing at just astronomical heights. We're doing this thing on new levels. Look at me now. That's what I'm hoping that it is. I'm hoping that, and again, I appreciated them opening up the playbook. All the plays that they did, they did weren't bad. I didn't like the, wasn't a big fan of the Wildcat with Mark Ingham taking a direct snap. But I did like the Justice Hill one right before halftime. That was a really nice one. I liked that one a lot. And the screenplay to Mark Ingham, that was nice. They need some work on it because you could tell it was fresh, but they need some work on it. And that'll happen with more experience and more reps doing that play. But the one to Hollywood Brown, nice idea, but Lamar, I guess there were no other reads, no other options on that play. And with enough screenplays, it's like that anyway. But Hollywood, the Bill's defenders, they were right there waiting for him. It was two of them too. It was two of them. Hollywood caught that ball and whacked. That's the biggest hit he took all year. It wasn't even that big of a hit, but that's the biggest hit he took all year. Because you know, Hollywood began down before he gets hit. He gets down and gets out of bounds. But so it wasn't all bad, but there was a lot of unnecessary stuff. I thought the Wildcat stuff was unnecessary. I thought it was pointless. And yeah, just in the third and one play. Oh gosh, that one was, that one was the, I think that was the worst play call from yesterday, the third and one. So, and because, and then I was thinking like, okay, if you're going to do that on third and one, then you definitely going to go for it on fourth down because you pretty much saying like, with that play call, you were pretty much saying, yeah, we're going for it on fourth down, but they didn't, they pun it. They pun it. And I think they were on their own 40 yard line, I believe, but I thought it was just a very, very bad play call. So hopefully they'll get back to playing that game and they will have learned from this. We'll see. Next question came from my boy Brandon. He said, this is from one Brandon. What's up engraving and Raven's flock? Do you believe if Jude on can keep up this level of play through the playoffs that the Ravens will not only pay him, but look for another edge guy to help him or allow Ferguson to continue to develop because he's coming along gradually. Thanks and keep it up as always. That's a good question. So do you think if Jude on can keep up this level of play through the playoffs that the Ravens will not only pay him, but look for somebody else too. It's tricky because if he keeps up this level of, even if he doesn't keep up this level of play, if he stopped right now, if this was the last game where he played great, if this was the last one, I don't expect it to be, but if this was the last one where he played great, he's still going to get paid. He is still going to get paid. But if he plays great, if he continues to play great and continues to play great through the playoffs too, it's only going to go up. It's only going to go up. That price tag is only going to go up. And with this Jude on that we've got again, and I've spoken about this several times, this guy has taken such a big leap and it's crazy how big of a leap he's taken with no Tyrell Suggs on the opposite side. One would think that, okay, Tyrell Suggs gone, Zidarius gone, Jude on like all alone. He's all alone. Those is gone. So yeah, he's probably going to get worse. But no, he's gotten so much better. He's gotten so much better. He's been consistent. That was one of the things that we noticed with Matthew, Jude on in the past is that he would disappear. Sometimes he would go on little hot streets where he had these hot games back to back. But then for throughout periods of time during the season, he would disappear. He wouldn't be doing anything. But this year, he has been so consistent. This year, he has been great, man. He has been great. And he showed it to us in the preseason. And I talked about it. I forgot which preseason game it was. But I said, was it the Packers? I don't even remember. But I said, ma'am, I said, I know it's only preseason, but that was Matt Jude, the best game I've ever seen him play as a Raven. And I said that during preseason. And I said, if he plays like that throughout this season, oh, it's going to be great. It's going to be great. And he has been. Matt Junon has been extremely consistent this season. And that's been a great thing. And it's beneficial for the Ravens. It's beneficial for him in the short and the long term, because he's about to cash out. He is about to get paid big money, big money. So the question was, could this make the Ravens pay him? So, and look for another edge guy to help him. That's the thing. Will he be pricing himself out of Baltimore? I don't think so. I think Eric, Eric, the Costa knows Jude on right now, the way that he's been playing, you want to keep that? You want to keep that? Because I know before me, I was on the fence about Jude on. I was, I was really on the fence about Jude on. Man, should they keep them? Should they let them go? Should they keep them? Should they let them go? I was like, ah, that was a while back, though. A while back. Definitely after last season, I was still on the fence. I'm like, ah, Jude on. But now this Jude on, this Jude on, you're going to want to keep him. You're definitely going to want to keep him. But something that I said with the Jude on is that you can get another guy, get another significant past Russia, get another significant edge guy that can also help him. Yeah, Jaylen Ferguson has been coming along like you said, but I think the Ravens should up that position that much more by getting another guy, a past Russia, a good past Russia that can really get after quarterback. So you could have Jude on on one side and the past Russia on the other, the whoever that other guy may be. And still, of course, Jaylen Ferguson be getting his into now, but let them all be together. Because that will make the past rush that much more effective, that much more significant, that much more possibly even dominant, possibly even dominant. Because if QBs have two guys coming from both sides that they got to avoid, oh, that's trouble. That's trouble. That's big time trouble. And those QBs wouldn't have nothing to say, but big yikes. Next question came from a boy, Daryl Willis. He said, keep doing your thing on here. Hey, appreciate it. He said, so let's get right to it. All right, here we go. Imagine that we agree in principle to make Roman the head coach in 2022. Ooh, he thinking way down the line. This will lock him up, encouraging him to open up his playbook even more. This will give Hobbes this season in the next two to win Super Bowls. But if it all worked out, Hobbes could have two and possibly three rings when it's all said and done. That's Hall of Fame stuff and dynasty stuff, but Shadi could elevate Hobbes to a significant executive position further benefiting from Hobbes' charismatic leadership. Depending on what we do over the next five to 10 years, Hobbes could be in line for a future Hall of Fame as an executive if his coaching resume wasn't impressive enough. All in all, losing Roman, in my opinion, is not an option. We have just about all the pieces we need to put on an amazing run. What do you think? Okay, so I was a little lost at first, but I am found now with how you summed that up. So, and this is not, this is still keeping Harbaugh on board, but keeping Greg Roman on board as well, just with what he's done with his team, with his offense and just how significant it's been. Last year, the offense, they they were ball control. They will score some touchdowns here and there, but not too many. There's some a lot of field goals there, but the offense wasn't going off like that. Very restricted though. But this year, the offense has been going crazy for the most part. They just, they've been going wild, man. And they've been scoring a lot of points. And they just, things seem to be getting opened up more and more every week. Sometimes in this week, it was kind of in a bad way for some parts, but the offense has been opening up more and more. Now, if they were to do something like that, I think that would depend on Harbaugh. I really don't see Harbaugh wanting to give up coaching though. So I wouldn't see that happening. For Greg Roman, I could see him, I could see that happening, but it's possible that he might not even want to be a head coach. Maybe he just likes being a coordinator. But it is possible that he still does want to have another shot at it, have another crack at it. And I think it would be a good opportunity for him to do it with the Ravens because that would give him that consistency. He wouldn't have to go to a new team, start from scratch, get a quarterback, draft this, draft that, start all over. He would have everything in place already for him to continue to do what he did. But again, I don't see John Harbaugh wanting to give that up. Even if the Ravens created a role for him with the front office as an executive, rather than being a coach, I don't think that he would want to give up coaching because he has been quite successful over his tenure as Ravens head coach. And even if he does get Superbowl this year, which we, they need to, and get another Superbowl in the next two to three years, then I would see him still wanting to build off of that and keep it going. I would see him wanting to keep it going and not even be like, oh, you know what, I'll be an executive now. Give him a higher pay grade and make different decisions. I think John Harbaugh want to stay exactly where he's at. But if you give that up and Greg Roman still wanted to be a head coach, then your plan would be a nice one to have in place. Questions came from my boy, Cliff. He said, Hey man, coming from the bills game, still hype from the wind, but living outside Buffalo, I've noticed that everyone seems to be looking down on the offensive performance. Have we become spoiled as fans and have the media set unreal expectations on us? We can't hang 40 on every team, but three TDs and a field goal are enough to win most games and still is a good showing. But seems like because of how we've been playing, this one gets no credit. Oh yeah, we were just talking about this in another video. We are spoiled now that this is now, this is considered a bad game. Three pass and touchdowns. The field goal. But I think it's because a lot of part of it is because of the run game. Because the run game wasn't going off like it usually does. The game, it should have been 24-3, 24-6 at most. But of course, we know what happened. But yeah, this is a good thing though. I like if this is a bad game for the Ravens, three pass and touchdowns and a field goal and a defense that play, they play really good. Now the penalties that a lot of penalties that they're going against them, it was out of their control because they played not perfectly, but they play really, really good. But if this is considered a bad game for the Ravens and they got a win, I'll take it every day. He also said furthermore, I noticed I used to win when media gave us love, but recently I've started feeling that jinx may have been a thing from old Ravens teams where offense will let us down under the microscope. These young men seem to thrive on it. Are we really in a new era where we can be comfortable being champions? Well, of course, we got to be champions first and that happens in February down here in Miami at Suvo. So Ravens got to get there and they got to take care of business there. But I do think so because I think that this team starts from the top. He clearly has a vision. He said he wants to build the bully and he said he wants to compete for years to come. This team, you can just tell that he's serious about that from his body of work just this season alone. And this is his first year's GM. He's not even settled into the position yet and look at all the stuff he's been doing, all the different signings, all the different trades, all the different midseason signings and some midseason trades, all of that stuff that he's done and been working on. And this is just his first, he's not even all the way comfortable yet. He's not even all the way settled in yet. And he's been doing like this, man, he'll be some serious for a long time. And then of course, with the mindset of the leader on offense, they're Lamar Jackson, the mindset of the because he treats every single game the same. No opponent is better than the next. No game is more important than the next. No game is less important than the next. And that's very important, especially when you're playing opponents. Because this game is coming. I mean, this video is coming right before the Jets game right now. It's Wednesday, 1242 p.m. So the game is tomorrow. So it's about 32 hours away. So yeah, they they looking at this game like a very important game because every game is important. So with the team's mindset from the top to bottom, yeah, they're they're on the right pace. And we said final thought, we've beaten most, if not all the AFC teams heading into the playoffs. I doubt it will be like last year because Lamar and our whole team played more well rounded and complete. But who scares you the most in an AFC championship match up? Thanks, love the vids, hoping the fam and all the team keep it clean is doing well. Duke Devlin. Oh, I know that was you. Okay, appreciate you, man. Thank you, man. But what team was scared me the most? The scariest match up? Well, one Ravens playing Ravens not playing their game. That's a very scary, very scary opponent for the Ravens when they when they try to outplay themselves and don't stick to their own game. But as far as opposing team, I'll say the Kansas City Chiefs. I'll say the Chiefs. Just because of that quick strike offense. And I know when we played them before we were completely different team. We lost by five. And we were so still so they were so close. They were so close to having one last chance. They were one tackle away. One tackle away from having one more chance for a game when in draft. But I am a loss is a loss. So shout out to the Chiefs. But I am happy to say that the Ravens lost that game and they didn't play that game when they lost that game. So as long as they they play that game, if I'm finally like like linen my beard and stuff and if this ought to lend that y'all be seeing in the video, sometimes I'll be having linen on my eyebrows and in my hair all the time. I'm just a mess. Anyway, I'll say Ravens either either beating themselves by not playing that game or the Chiefs. Next question came from my boy Rico. He said in Graven, what's going on? I'm still in shock that the Ravens are 11 and two. I'm still waiting to wake up from this wonderful dream. LOL. But my question is, do you think the Ravens have to win the Super Bowl this season? Yes. But he said, especially with how different this team will look next year with all the undrafted free agents. I mean, unrestricted free agents. I keep doing that, mainly on defense. I believe the offense will continue to improve and be even better next year. But the defensive sign might get gutted. And with the possibility of Greg Roman and Wink getting opportunities to coach elsewhere, this team could look very different next year. Keep up the great work. Team keep it clean. Appreciate it, man. I think they should. And yeah, I could see that how they need to because of that, because the team can look very different next year. But do they absolutely have to? Yeah, they do. Especially with it being in Miami. They do have to. They need to. Because, hey, it's no better time than the present. This team is just, they're at an all-time high. And they got to ride that high to the playoffs and through the playoffs. And this team, they have a very strong team that they put together. Not saying that next year, they can't put another strong team together because I'm sure that they will. But right now, this team is very strong. This team is very balanced. So the best way to take advantage of that is to ride it all the way to and through the Super Bowl. So yes, they need to win it this year. I know technically, they don't have to win it this year, but the way that this team is set up, and yeah, like you said, all the pending free agents and stuff like that, yeah, it'll be great to win it this year. It'll just make too much sense. It'll make too much sense. New era, baby. Next question came from a boy, Jacob Rawley. He said, do you think that the Ravens can keep both Marcus Peters and Matthew Judon? Yes, I do. Because they both of them were going to command a lot of money, but now the Ravens actually have a good amount of money. So yeah, I think they can keep them both. Next question came from a boy, Alberto. He said, what's up in Graven Burdo here? Do you think the Ravens should draft a Lamar-type QB just in case Lamar gets banged up during the season? The QB's drafted wouldn't take his spot. They would just be a backup in case Lamar needs rest or has an issue like this week. Think about it, the Patriots always drafted QBs while Tom Brady was in his prime and they never took his spot. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hashtag team keeping clean. They could do that as a backup and somebody that they could flip, like the Patriots have done. They drafted all these quarterbacks. Those quarterbacks got their chance to shine in that system and they end up flipping all those quarterbacks for draft picks whether high or low. They flipped them. We've seen so many guys go through that system and come out some did okay afterwards, some didn't. But they got a system in place that it works. It works and they have had a lot of profit off of that. So could the Ravens do the same thing? Yeah, they definitely could and I think that would be a very good idea. I mean they've already started doing it. They got Trace McSawley and RG3 right now. I know they didn't draft RG3 but they got those two back there in place. So yeah, I think that would be a very, very good idea for the future. We have entered the bonus round of NFL questions from subscribers. So this next question came from my boy Aaron. Aaron said, You ain't great man, do you think in any way that the NFL is rigged? Keep being the goat? Well if anybody to keep being something they have to be that something first. I'm definitely not the goat not close to it and won't ever be it. But I appreciate you rocking with us. So back to this question. Do you think in any way that the NFL is rigged? Well, NFL is a sports entertainment business. WWE is a sports entertainment business. Do I think the NFL is 100% fair and it's a straight up game between two teams between 53 sets or more than 53 sets of men? Because it's more than just the players on the field as the players off the field to like the coaches and whatnot, the staff and all that. But do I think it's 100% fair? No. Do I think it's 100% straight up where it's like, we really seeing which of these two teams is the best team on any given Sunday? No, I don't. There's a lot of funny business that goes on during games outside of games. I mean, y'all see it for yourselves. Some teams may commit something and it'll get oh, oh, it's them. Okay, now it's fine. Just pass over. Then other teams could do the same thing. It's like, oh, it's them. Bring down the hammer. Bring down the law. Hey, no, we're not having that. We're not tolerating that from them. Uh-uh. And I mean, you see a lot of funny stuff that goes on. You see with the referees and stuff like you would think some stuff that the referees do, it's like, really? That's really what you're doing? That's really what you're calling? Like, seriously? So I think there is a certain element of it where, again, there's a lot of funny elements of it where there's a lot of funny business. I'm not going to dive deep into it because I would rather y'all do your own. We already have my, what I feel about it, but I got to keep that to myself. But I will let you all do your own research on it and come to your own conclusion on it. Just because I would rather keep my conclusion private and let you all come to your own. Because I just want to leave it that way. That'll be the peaceful way to leave it. I still love y'all. Y'all know that. But yeah. So appreciate y'all watching this episode of NFL Questions from subscribers. I love y'all. Make sure you follow on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and subscribe to the YouTube channel.
