Thank you for all of y'all that actually watched the entire videos and listened to everybody's question. And I continue to thank you all who have been sending in your questions and being part of Questions from Subscribers. We got plenty to answer so let's go ahead and jump straight into it. First question came from, oh I keep cutting off the names on Facebook, I gotta start, stop doing that. So I can't see the name but he sent me a few questions on Facebook so he'll know and I know he watches the entire video so with his question being up first, there you go. His question was, do you think Pierre Garçon's NFL career is done? He was just a thousand y'all receiver like two, three years ago and he's only 32. I think I'd rather have him other than Michael Floyd competing for Raven's roster spot. Pierre Garçon is somebody that I wanted, he is somebody that I wanted to sign, he is somebody that I wanted to Ravens to get. But that was about, yeah, two, three years ago. After last year's Pierre Garçon, a lack there of him, nah, I'm good on that. I would rather like neither one of them to be competing for Raven's roster spot because I'm ready for the Ravens to turn over a new leaf. And I still don't think Michael Floyd even makes the team. But I just, I love the fact that they were getting younger, they have gotten a lot younger at Y receiver. So that can give a chance to Lamar and the receiver to really grow together because that's something that Fleco really didn't have much of. It's funny that the only receiver that he really got to grow with is the one that he had the most chemistry with, that being a Tori Smith. But hey, it is what it is. Next question came from my boy Ibrahim Rao. He said, how far do you think Matt Patricia has to take the Lions in 2019 to avoid getting fired at the conclusion of the season? I say anything less than a playoff birth is unacceptable based on the fact that Matt Patricia was hired by GM Bob Quinn for his Patriots connections. And there was a lot of hype surrounding his arrival because he was going to recreate the Patriot way in Detroit. And all he has is his first season. All he does his first season is go six and 10 while being late to team meetings along with losing respect among some of the players. And since Detroit can get out of the staffers contract after 2020 season, do you think they will if he doesn't bring them a playoff win in the next two years? Because they're paying him a ton of money and he's been starting on a regular basis since 2011 after dealing with injuries in 2009 and 2010. Shout out to my guy Ibrahim Rao because he has clearly done some extensive research with this question. So if they can get out of the deal after the 2020 season. So that sounds like after 2020, like the 2020 going into 2021. If they can get out of the deal after that, then I think he would definitely at least have this year to end next year just to give him one last hurrah with Matt Patricia with him being a new head coach. Last year was his first season, I believe, right? I think it was his first season with the Lions. But I do not think a head coach, unless they just like just terrible and just all really just awful. I just don't think a head coach should be fired after one season because you don't even have a chance to really incorporate your rules, your ways, your just your culture into the system into the team after just one year. Because if you have the team as a new head coach after just one year, you're still dealing with a lot of players that were from the previous regime. You're going to be dealing with players from the previous regime for at least like maybe like two years, even three years. So you don't really get to like take over, take over for a couple of years as a head coach, as a GM, as a whatever, as anybody new in the front office. So I think if those numbers are accurate and they can get out of Stafford's deal, I mean, yeah, Stafford's deal after the 2020 season, then I think he would have two years. But what does he need to do to stay? And you said anything less than a playoff berth is unacceptable. I don't know about the playoff berth, but I think he'll be safe. Based off of his, his where he came from, because Patriots coaching staff, their names hold a lot of weight, excuse me. And just based off of the timeframe, man, because I just don't see him getting fired, especially if they can sort of relate his time there as a head coach with Matt Stafford's time that he has left before they can get out of the deal. I think they would, they would, they would allow him to stick around. Next question came from a boy Brandon Tillman. He said, if you were the head coach for the Ravens, who will you pick up for the contract? Michael Pierce or Chris Moore? I will pick up Chris Moore because he will play any position from special teams to receiver. I do like Pierce, but he only plays one position. You can't move him around like a DN. So that's why I feel like, yes, the Ravens will trade Pierce because of Matt Judon and Chris Moore. They will be on their last year of contract for next year. I mean, when, when you first read the question, like, uh, who's contract would you pick up? Michael Pierce or Chris Moore? I feel like, um, Michael Pierce, that like that, that answers so easy. And I feel like, oh yeah, that's easy. But then when you break it down like that, uh, Chris Moore can play different positions. You can move around on special teams too. So he provides more value. Chris Moore, he would be a lot cheaper than Michael Pierce would too. Michael Pierce is one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league. Chris Moore is not, he has not established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the league. He, so his, if you do decide to keep him, um, you are going to be able to keep him for a significantly less amount of money than you'd be able to keep, um, Michael Pierce for. But as far as who I would choose out of those two, I would choose Michael Pierce. Chris Moore, while he is a versatile player and I do appreciate him. Um, I feel like Michael Pierce provides more value to the team. Uh, now, and, and I, because yeah, he, he does not move around. He, you can't move him from D tackle to DN and all that stuff. Pass or you can't do that. But his, he's a better player in his role. Chris Moore, I mean, we'll see what happens with Chris Moore this year. Um, I think he'll get much more of a role this year. And they may even take him off of special teams. We'll see though. Um, but he has been a pretty good special teamer. Um, but I think they could end up, especially if his role increases by a lot, they could end up taking him off of special teams and be like, Hey, you're done with that. You graduated. Um, and then of course we have Matt Jude on coming, going into the final year of his deal, Chris Moore in the final year. He is Michael Pierce, um, peanut. Uh, so we got some guys that, uh, a lot of people are up. Not everybody's going to get paid. Not everybody's going to be a Raven next year. So, uh, but you added those two, I picked Pierce. Next question came from a guy, uh, Tim Mateo. He said, good morning, sir. Shout out from Brazil. Love your vids. Appreciate that man. Shout out to Brazil. Um, do you think the Ravens are going to use McSawley just like they did with Lamar when Flacco was on the field? Or is he just going to be a backup quarterback? I think he's going to be used for more than that. Um, I think they will try to throw in some little plays here and there. Um, but I think he's going to be somebody that may line up at running back, may line up at wide receiver, may line up at tight end, uh, may line up at quarterback, may line up just on special teams, just like, uh, Taysom Hill, think he's going to be the Ravens version of Taysom Hill. And I think that they are, um, they definitely going to try to use him. Uh, and just use all of, maybe even line them up on defense sometimes too. Uh, cause some of y'all told me that he played safety too. So I think they're not just going to use them as a backup quarterback or, and they're not just going to use them like they did with Lamar when Flacco was a quarterback, but they're going to just use him all over the field, not just their quarterback or wide receiver, but a bunch of other positions too. Next question came from a boy, Papa Mike. Well, he said, um, Ronnie Stanley is cool. But the last time I saw him play, I saw Melvin Ingram give him that work. So I can't call them the best yet. But he said, I know engraving viz will probably do a video on this shortly. And what he did, he quoted the tweet from the Ravens where they said, uh, when the NFL's best left tackles are being discussed, Ronnie Stanley wants the conversation to start with him and coach Harbaugh agrees. I mean, that, that's, that's a good, um, that's a good goal. Uh, yeah, that's a great goal to have. Um, so I think he, he, that, that he's aiming high and he should, he needs to be, um, because if, if you don't want to be the best at what you do, then what do you want to be going to be? Oh, I'm, I'm fine being, I'm fine being the, the fifth best guy. That's cool with me. I mean, I mean, and some people are down with that too. That's fine to each his own. But with, um, Ronnie Stanley with him aiming to be, uh, talked about as one of the NFL's best left tackles, I'm down with that. Yeah. Uh, that last game in the playoffs, it wasn't, it wasn't sweet. Um, and Ronnie Stanley, he does have his little hiccups here and there, but he is a pretty good left tackle. Um, we could have done a lot worse. Um, he has been solid for the most part. He's been healthy at a couple of games where he's been a little banged up and he missed, missed some time, but he doesn't miss much time at all. Um, he is reliable and he, I'm glad we got him. Instead of Larry Tunsel, I'm glad. Um, I'm not glad that the, the, the bong video came out of Tunsel, but, um, it worked out in our favor that we ended up getting, um, well, you know what? Larry Tunsel, he shouldn't have been doing that anyway. So yeah, his team keep it clean, man. That's not keeping it clean at all. So he should have done that anyway. I know he, uh, I did he sue somebody. I don't remember, but like you, you can't get those situations can't come back to bite you if you don't get in those situations. So anyway, um, Ronnie Stanley, I'm glad we ended up getting Ronnie Stanley. Um, he has been, he's been pretty good for us. Has he been great? No, he hasn't been great, but he's been pretty good. Um, so hopefully this year, uh, this is essentially contract here, not technically, but this is the year he'll, he'll be getting his deal next year from the Ravens. All right. We've got a lot of people to pay. They got a lot of people to pay. Um, but I think Ronnie Stanley is definitely going to be one of next question came from a boy, but no, McDaniels. He said, Jaylin Ramsey said today, or it was yesterday, uh, that he will not extend his contract this year. So if this is true, could there be a possibility he could come to Baltimore? And if we were to release a corner, who would you pick? My personal guess would be Jimmy Smith. Okay. So with Jaylin Ramsey, yeah, I did see that. He said he was not going to be getting an extension this year. Um, and if this is true, could there be a possibility he could come to Baltimore, possibly, possibility. Yes, but the likeliness of it. No, Jaguars are not going to let one of the best cornerbacks in the league, uh, just be on up out of there. It ain't going to happen. I don't, I don't think he's going to be leaving Jacksonville. I don't see that happening at all. Like at all, don't see it happen. Um, and it would be nice if, if we could get them, but I just don't see it happening. I was, I was also talking to my guy, uh, Dre earlier, and he sent me the same thing, the thing about, uh, that Ramsey not going to deal this year. Um, and I said that I don't think it really makes a difference for the Ravens, because the Jaguars ain't going to let Ramsey go. And he said, he told me, he said, we got it. We're going to have enough cap space for him next year. But I said, you, you got to pay Marlin though. You got to pay Marlin Humphrey. Marlin Humphrey is next up for, well next year, he can't get it this year, but Marlin Humphrey is next up. So they're not, I just cannot see them paying Marlin Humphrey, um, and get into Jalen Ramsey too. Cause you're going to have, that'd be nice. It'd be nice. We wouldn't, I wouldn't be complaining. Like, oh, we got Jalen Ramsey and Marlin Humphrey. But next question came from my guy, Brian Benjus. He said, why pay Brandon Williams all that money? If he can't or won't be a dual threat like Nada. Um, so with that, he, his job, he's not, he's not, uh, I mean, did I say Yonda? I meant Nada. I don't remember if I said Nada or Yonda, but I meant Lody Nada. Um, he wrote Nada. So I don't, I don't even know what I said. But anyway, um, why pay Brandon Williams all that money? If he can't or won't be a dual threat like Nada. Well, because, uh, that was the going rate for defensive tackles at that moment. Um, and his job is not to be a Lody Nada. We love Lody Nada. Lody Nada was a beast. Um, but Brandon Williams, that's not his job. That's not what he does. He eats up blockers. He takes up space so other people can eat. He makes everybody else around him that much better because he takes on one or two blockers, sometimes maybe even three. So those people can run free. So the linebackers can run free. So those other, uh, interior defensive linemen, they can rush to pass. And so the, the past rushes can do their job and rush to pass it too. So that's why Brandon Williams is making a lot of money. Do we feel he's overpaid? Uh, yeah. But at the same time, he is underappreciated. Next question also came from a boy, Brian Bingers. He said, is Lamar Jackson a better passer than Joe Flacco in the early part of his career? No, he's not. That's why he's been having to work so much on the passing. Flacco didn't, he didn't have to work on the passing like that. Flacco was already a natural pass or the regular pass or whatever. But Flacco just had to work on, uh, just decision making. He had to work on just maturing as a quarterback period. Um, and of course, and Lamar is going to have to work on that too. And that comes with more game time, more reps, more practice, more, all of that stuff being in different situations, uh, that, that comes with the territory of being a quarterback. So, but at this point in time, he is not, um, a better passer than Joe Flacco was in the early part of his career. Next question also came from a boy, Brian Bingers. He said, if we didn't get any or many injuries, which is uncommon, how can we expect our team to get better? Hmm. So if we didn't get any or many injuries, which is uncommon, how can we expect our team to get better? I don't, I don't really understand that question. Um, if we didn't get many injuries, how can we expect our team to get better? Are you saying that, you said, how can we expect our team to get better? Are you saying that like, how can we expect our team, like the depth of the guys to perform so we can see what they can do? I'm kind of lost on that one. If we didn't get any or many injuries, which is uncommon, how can we expect our team to get better? I don't, I really don't understand that question. I'm trying to, if y'all made it in the comment section could break that question down for me or Brian, do you want to just run it back and ask it over, um, or explain what exactly what you mean? Cause I just, I really don't understand that question. Um, but his other question was, who would you honestly say is the most improved team in the division? The Browns, the Browns without a doubt. Um, and he said thanks. So there ain't no problem, man, but let's run that question back. That, that, that third question that you asked, because I just, I, I don't know, I just, I don't understand it. Next question came from a boy, Michael B. And he said, do you think this overweight talk about Michael is an easy cop out just so they can trade him? So is this overweight talking easy cop out just so they can trade Michael Pierce? Oh, and he asked this question on stream last night and I was like, whoa, didn't think about that. And they caught me off guard. I was like, wait a minute now, wait a minute. Are the Ravens putting this out there so they can trade him? And it's funny because like I talked about yesterday, timing, timing is everything. Everybody knows Michael Pierce is a beast. Everybody knows his potential, but then everybody knows he's in the contract year. It's time for him to get paid. It's time for him to cash out. But if this guy who got all this potential, who's a beast and not even just potential, he's been showing it. So potential is something that you would bank on for the future, but no, this guy's been showing it. So I take back that potential thing. But he's about to cash out. He's about to make a lot of money. Then this is his year. But if that guy comes to comes to the first mandatory camp overweight, it can be like, oh, man. But if you make that public, you put it out there, then it can be like, oh, hold up, what's going on with that? The other teams could be looking like, what's going on with Pierce over there? What? He's overweight. What? And that could sort of make the Ravens look like it can make the Ravens seem like, oh, man, like this guy, maybe he just ain't cut out for this final year. And then if they think that the Ravens think that if other teams think the Ravens are thinking that, then they could be like, oh, well, maybe, you know what, let's just send them this offer. See if they want to talk. We just we just want to talk. We just want to talk, send them this offer. See if they just willing to accept it and nothing's concrete. We're just going to send it out to them. See if they if they willing to talk about it. And that could make the Ravens start putting Pierce on the block. I mean, he made himself a block, but now they could they Ravens could put him on the block. And what I was saying yesterday too, that is it would be very tricky keeping him. Somebody asked a question from subscriber with the Ravens history of drafting and developing defensive linemen so good. Pierce could be another one that ends up being gone. And they already paying Brandon Williams a bunch of money. They just drafted Daylan Mack. They got Gerald Willis. They still got Willie Henry. You got Wyrmley, got Silo. So the other guys there that are waiting, they are waiting. They're like, oh, come on, come on, get get rid of. And the Ravens could be on the same boat. They could be on the same. They could be like, oh, um, Pierce, we ain't trying to pay too defensive linemen. We just don't want. And even though the Ravens are going to have the most money that they had in a long time next year, Eric Dacosta said he wants to be financially responsible. He said he wants to be financially responsible. So if they pay Michael Pierce this year, then they will probably have to back load a deal because they can't pay him too much guarantee money up front because they didn't got it like that right now. So being financially responsible is not backloading the deal. And it's, it could be one of those tough decisions, man. It could be one of those tough decisions. But Eric Dacosta has already shown that he's not afraid to make those tough decisions. He's not afraid to make those tough decisions. Eric Weddell, where's he at? CJ Mosey, where's he at? Tarell Suggs, where's he at? Where they all going? Where they going? Cut Weddell. Was trying to resign Mosey, but kept it at a certain price and said, I'm not going over this. They tried to resign Suggs. They said, we kept it at a certain price. We're not going over this. Suggs opted for somewhere else, Arizona. Mosey opted for New York with the Jets and Weddell was released. So they're not afraid to make these tough decisions, even with fan favorites. And Michael Pierce is definitely one of those fan favorites that people love, people love Michael Pierce. Because he's nice. He's nice. He's a real good player. But this this whole story about him being overweight. Could it be a sort of trade bait just to put him out there? It could be. It could be because NFL NFL is it's a it's a dirty business. It's a very dirty business. There's a lot of deceit that happens. There's a lot of like tricks that happen. There's a lot of pettiness that happens. It's just a lot of games that happen in the NFL. It's already it's already the game, the sport of the football. But in the front office and stuff, there's a lot of games that happen there, too. It's probably even more games that happen there than during the 16 game schedule. So, yeah, this it could be it could be. And oof, this is such a tricky situation, man. It's a tricky situation. And then I said in a video yesterday, too, I said, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he got traded within the next two months. I really wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised because that would because I don't I do. I just don't see the Ravens if they're not going to keep him. If they're not going to sign him to a long term deal. I don't see them walking away from Michael Pierce for nothing. Well, I don't see them letting him walk away and them getting nothing in return. Not the whole comp pick thing. I don't think they just want to comp pick for Michael Pierce. And they could get a they could possibly get a third form. They definitely get a fourth. But I just in that formula still so tricky with the comp picks. But I think they will try to get something for him now. And I said, and we talked about it last night on the stream. I think they could definitely get a third form for it via trade. But I think it's a possibility they could even get a second. I really do. I think it's a possibility that they could even get a second. You trade them to a team for the trade to be official. Y'all got to exchange whatever you're going to trade in whatever he got to pass the physical. So let's see what happens today. By the time you see this video, we will probably already have more news on Michael Pierce from today. But we'll see. But yeah, this offseason is just wild, man. It's wild. It's a lot of stuff happening. But yeah, I do not think it's far fetched that Michael Pierce could be on the trade block.
