 So team keeping clean. As you all know, my hair, it had been getting a little bit longer than usual. Then I finally cut it. So it was a real drastic change. So with the AC, the AC is at the same that it always is at, but I feel it a little more now. So I had to put on a hoodie. But anyway, I love y'all and welcome to October. September was a great month. Not only because football was officially back, but just from seeing the support that y'all showed in the month of September, it means a lot. It meant a lot. And it was just, it's always crazy to see how people who, it's like weird because you don't know them, but you feel like you know them. And it's just like, it's just, it's crazy to see people from all across the world, really just show a whole lot of love, consistent love, consistent support is really, really, really appreciated. So thank you all for that. Shout out to the newest Team Keep It Clean channel member that being Rave Kingdom. And I know Rave Kingdom, he'd be sending a lot of questions from self. So I appreciate you. And like we mentioned the other day, but they didn't have an official formal shout out to my guy King Lou and then Flex Gambino, who again, like I said, he decided, you know what? I'm showing double support. I'm gonna become a channel member and a Team Keep It Clean patron. So I appreciate y'all. I really do. I really do a lot, man. Again, we're in October now. It's a new month. Football season has been going crazy, as y'all already know, but y'all support has been going even crazier than football season. So I appreciate it. We got some great questions, like we always do. To start us off though, let's take a little dive into the safe. And another word for the safe is the vault. First question came from the Solutions for Kicks. He said, what's up in Graven first? Things first. Oh, I thought he was about to start saying a biggie verse for a second. Anyway, he said, first things first. My apologies for mentioning a mythical Ravens wide receiver as Williams as I meant to type Robbins. Oh, okay. So he talked about a question from cells from like a week or two ago when he talked about some wide receiver whose last name was Williams. But we had understood what you meant. So it's all good, man. He said, well, our safety Williams is also catching a lot of passes as well. Hey, maybe that's why you gotta mix up. Maybe that's why. So, hey, no problem, no worries, it's all good. He said, Greg Roman mentioned his mythical vault in a press a while ago, but we never saw what those vaulted plays were last season. Maybe because Lamar was injured. Maybe because Giro was bluffing for the median fans. Or maybe because the offensive line wasn't what they were hoping it would be. We'll never know. We'll never know. Maybe because of the injuries. Hey, we'll never know. But anyway, and I wonder if he was one of those things. Not that it should have been, but then you gotta think about injuries and stuff. Maybe it could have been one of those things where from the top, maybe hard ball, was like, hey, whatever you got in the vault, just keep it, keep it there. We too banged up to really do anything this year. Just keep it to yourself. Nah, he ain't say that. But anyway, next question came from the solution for kicks, he said. Two, three games, which isn't a big enough sample slice to determine, but it appears not Giro's vault that's been opened. It's actually Keith Williams being their pass game specialist, implementing some non-JV squad pass plays, word to Steve Smith, and concepts into the offense. No one saw Devon Big Play Duvenay's emergence as a true wide receiver. Yes, your beloved Jet Sweep King actually appears to be a vital piece of the offense we never saw coming. Teams were planning for Andrews Bateman and possibly likely, but never thought Duv will become wide receiver too and become such a weapon. Lamar did say in a pre-season presser, we have our number two wide receiver now, but he never said who. Oh, he did say that? I don't even remember that. He said they pretty much slid past everyone and now it appears it's Devon Duvenay. What are your thoughts? Keep dropping that amazing content for Devout Ravens fans from Baltimore, but living in San Antonio among these delusional Cowboys fans. LOL. Hey, it's some delusional Ravens fans out there too. Don't let it fool you. But anyway, wow, was that you who I talked to on Instagram? It's funny, somebody was about G-Roll's vault. Somebody had a, I was talking to him the other day and they were like, they said that they don't think that it's him even calling a place. I said, oh, yikes. But whoever it is called a play, if it's G-Roll, if it's Keith Whit, whatever, it's been good for the wide receivers. Now, as good as it's been, it could still be better. And it's crazy because Devon, even amongst the success, you see some same hiccups that have been there in the past. Like for instance, on Josh Oliver on his touchdown, on Josh Oliver's touchdown, him and Mark Andrews, they had to like, they had to like fake out each other because they were getting ready to run right into each other on that touchdown play. And I hadn't even seen that. Somebody had actually pointed that out to me. Cause I had, or maybe they just put it on Twitter or something. Cause, but I didn't see that. I didn't see it live. I didn't even notice it in the replay. But somebody pointed at that. I was like, oh, yikes. But they made it happen. And then it was talked about how with Lamar, that play just really showed his continued emergence as that dude. Because the timing of that throw and the placement of the ball, it had to be patient. But anyway, we ain't talking about Lamar. This is about Jiro right now. And then the interception in the, the Patriots game where Michelle Bateman was coming across the field and DuVernay was going up the field. And they, Lamar threw it. I think I'm pretty sure it was intended for Rashad Bateman. But his guy was close. The guy who was covering Rashad Bateman was close enough to be able to drop off for, I mean, excuse me. No, no, no. The guy who was covering Devin DuVernay was close enough because Rashad Bateman and Devin DuVernay was still somewhat in the same area. The quarterback covering DuVernay was able to drop off for DuVernay and jump that route, jump Rashad Bateman's route because they were right there together. So, I mean, so again, you see some of the same issues that a lot of people have talked about as far as the receivers still being in the same area. But, see, the thing about that is, I wanna say like, obviously the Ravens passing offense has had a lot of success this year. And that's a beautiful thing, but there's still room for improvement and there's still room for them to grow. There's still room for them to take it to another level. So, when you think about that, that's a beautiful thing. It's like, it's kind of a beautiful thing, depending on what side of the fence you're looking at, if you're looking at a glass full, glass half empty, you know what I'm talking about. But it's nice to know that, like Lamar Jackson said, they haven't peaked. Yeah, this feels like a dream. Just what I made you to take, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, got him made it, got him made it. Boy, that's my homie, ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. Team Keep It Clean, welcome to another episode of questions from subs. If you ever wondering how you can be part of questions from subs, just go to the description box. Next question came from my guy, one of the newest channel members, Rave Kingdom. He said, JK Dobbins was a breath of fresh air to our run game. The Ravens have already been looking good in a passing game. Does this make the Ravens more complete on offense? Well, while he was a breath of fresh air, Ravens run offense was still suffocating. So it's a start, but it's not a finish. Next two questions came from my guy, Javo. He said, hope all is well with you and the fam, especially with the storm. I don't know if this question was asked or not, if you could assemble the perfect Ravens team, what would your roster look like? Choose a Ravens defensive air, Ravens offensive air, and the Ravens special teams air. I will allow you to swap out a player from that air with another Ravens player to your liking. May God bless you, the family, and your pages with the subscribers. Appreciate that. Give me 2000 Ravens defense, cause they ain't let nothing happen. And give me 2019 regular season offense, cause they will lighten it up and you put the two together and what do you got? Hopefully in the playoffs, you could actually advance. But don't give me 2019 playoff offense. Don't give me that. Give me 2019 regular season offense and give me that regular season offense throughout. And I think I would be good to go. His other question was with the season ending injury, with the season ending injury to Michael Pierce, should we give big Brandon Williams a call? They could, they could, they could. He could help with the run defense a little bit, even though his run defense was lacking a little bit last year. But hey, maybe it was cause just the Ravens has a whole lacking last year, but they could, I would rather sue. And I think that with the Ravens, now that I think about it, I don't really think they would give Brandon Williams a call because the Ravens, the way that they've been moving, and we said this a couple of years ago, it seems that they just are continuously trying to get more athletic up front with guys that can do both, guys that can stop the run, and guys that can rush to pass it to provide some interior pressure. The interior pressure part ain't been going so good so far. But hopefully, hopefully that changes so. Huge Ravens issue. Next question, Kevin. Next question came from my guy Kevin. I'm over here thinking and talking and reading at the same time and they're just saying working. Anyway, he said, I ain't great when I've sent you emails in the past about other issues way less serious than this. After talking to my brother, we're both from Louisville and have been following Lamar for years. I wanna apologize to you because the Ravens should have gotten Lamar a super true number one wide receiver and anything else he needed to win them at least three to four Super Bowls in the next seven to eight years. Hmm, why I feel like you about to hit me with a swerve? Cause I know you've been very adamant about the Ravens got enough at wide receiver for a long time. Something smells fishy about this, Kevin. And I'm gonna get down to the bottom of it, buddy. Let's see what you're talking about. So imagine this, Michael Jordan before Scotty and Robin. LeBron James, first time in Cleveland with nobody. Barry Sanders and nobody. My favorite player Dan Marino and nobody. I hate to say it, but the Ravens are truly wasting what could be the most dynamic player in QB we've ever seen. I'm hurt to acknowledge this. The NFL is truly a business and it's sad. Think of the records Lamar could set even more if the Ravens went all in on getting him more weapons, not just a Tyreek heel or DK Macat for a deep bow. Why not draft more quality running backs in higher rounds instead of no impact DBs or pass rushers like, oh wait, shaking my head. This is truly a Ravens issue. Whoa, whoa. Let me find out you turning here, Kevin. Whoa, you went deep. Now that part right there, as far as the quality of weapons. Yeah, that's a Ravens issue. It's a philosophy type of thing. They've never been a team to really like invest in receivers like that in more ways than one. As far as paying premium for wide receivers, they're not gonna do that. They haven't done that, like ever. As far as drafting with wide receivers, Dave, as far as first round guys, they do it every once in a while. Obviously Bateman, Hollywood, Brashaw, Perryman, Yook, Mark Clayton, Travis Taylor. Am I missing anybody? Or is that everybody? As far as first round guys I'm talking about. I know there's been a couple of seconder like Tori Smith, he was the second round pick. So I don't know. But with Ravens in the wide receiver position, they also haven't really put, they never really used to put more much emphasis on development either. So, man, that was for whatever round the guys were drafted in. So that's been an issue too. But it seems as if Eric Dacosta is trying to sort of slowly turn the page on that as he threw out his tenure as GM. So that's a good sign. And then especially with what we've been seeing this year, the Ravens are really, they're really settling down on, hey, we rocking with what we got. We rocking with our guys. And so far it's been so good. We do want to see them involve more, but they've been off to a pretty good start. But we do want to see them involve more because it's like the opportunities have been far and few and they've made the most of it for the most part. Cause we know obviously it's been a lot of Mark Andrews, Mark Andrews, Mark Andrews every game. But we, it would be nice to see some more do it there than do the name. See some more Rashad Bateman. See some more targets go their way. But we know Ravens offense is a very efficient offense. It's not really based off of volume like that. It's based off of efficiency. At least that's what it seems. And I mean, that's what it's been in the past too. As far as the passing game, but you want guys to make the most of it. But as far as your other points about with Lamar Jackson and them wasting his talent and not even wasting it, but not maximizing it. Yeah, I mean, that's what it's been. I don't really, we talked about that a lot over this summer, really over the past couple of years. But cause every off season, we would hope, all right, hopefully this would be the off season at the Ravens, they do that move with those moves. And they really like, and then again, last season, I liked the moves that they did at Y Receiver. I liked their setup at Y Receiver last season, with Hollywood, with Bateman, and with Sammy Watkins. But they just, they were never all healthy at the same time. So that just, that they killed that. But I had, I had loved that setup. That was probably my favorite setup for Lamar Jackson. Yeah, so, but we never got to see it. We never got to see it to the full so they were never all three healthy together. So, next year's gonna be fun, this upcoming off season. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens and what doesn't happen, especially when it comes to Lamar's decision. Next question came from my guy, Juan. He said, Ronnie Stanley uncertainty. Hello and great, and I hope you are safe and doing well right now. Now here's my take on the Ronnie Stanley situation. Let me know if you agree with me or your overall thoughts. I think this team needs to either trade for a pre-man left tackle or draft one in the first round. Whether or not Ronnie Stanley works out long term for us, I think we cannot put all our eggs into one basket with him. Like you're saying, go anything we get from him as a bonus and stay ready so you ain't gotta get ready. This would allow Ronnie Stanley to take his time recovering if he is ever 100% and if at all. I'm not usually a negative type, but week one at Las Vegas last season made me realize this might be bad news for him. And I just wanna keep Lamar Jackson safe in the pocket. Your thoughts. Hey, that was the last part. That was real right there, baby. With Ronnie Stanley, I mean, it's a waiting game. That's all it is. It's a waiting game, but it's one of those waiting games where you just, the money is, I think the money is one of the biggest things. That's one of the biggest reasons that so many Ravens fans are just so worried about the whole situation. It's cause of all the money that's invested in him. And that makes the situation that much harder for the Ravens than as an organization too. Because you got, this is a franchise left tag. He's making franchise tackle money. But he hasn't played. But he did have, what, two surgeries last year. Said two. So the ankle surgery and some other lower body, major surgery, not sure what it was. But I know that's, it's frustrating for people. Even with that new information that they got the other day. Cause it's like, then with your scenario, you draft the left tackle in the first round. It's like, all right, you drafted a guy. And then what if Ronnie Stanley is healthy? Well, you could move in the right tackle. You could put him at God. So that there could be, it's not like the guy will go to waste. But then if you trade for a premier left tackle, are they on their second contract already? And even if they are, that could be a lot of money to take on. If that's a premier left tackle, that's really good. Then again, I mean, I guess it would be the same thing. It would be like you paying two left tackle money. You know, Ravens don't want to do that. They don't want to do that. That's why we all knew, I mean, I thought it was clear as day when they paid Ronnie Stanley that they were not going to pay Orlando Brown Jr. too. So I just feel like that if they were to do that, I feel like they would definitely draft one before they even traded for one just cause of the money issue right there. And if they drafted one, that would give them time with Ronnie Stanley to really be able to get through his contract and get to that point where if they wanted to, they could cut ties with little negative financial impact. Next question came from Darrell. He said, Oh, no question. But I just want to say I appreciate the transparency week to week. I'm going to subscribe and I enjoy him. Last week hurt. But it's a long season. Cool, Raven. I appreciate it, Darrell. Thank you, man. What is Off-Front Office doing? Next question came from my guy Palmer. He said, Aang Raven, long time viewer, first time email submission. Been Ravens fans since 2000. So I've seen the highs and lows of our organization. A few days ago, we just signed JPP. And I looked through all the comments from Ravens fans jumping for joy. I'm kind of saddened that we are pumped for a 33-year-old edge player who's definitely passed his prime and who wasn't even on a roster this season. Hey, that's me. That's me. I am who you described. And it's funny because I talked about this in a video because it's kind of scary. It's kind of scary that that's where Ravens pass rush is. That's the point that Ravens pass rush is at where it's like, hey, we signed JPP, let's go. But our pass rush has been rough because we just, we're hoping that he ends up being Superman. We're hoping that he goes off. We're hoping that he goes out there and crushes it. But that's the status of Ravens pass rush right now. So I know they're hoping like, all right, JPP, get us through this Bill's game. Then we'll probably get Bowser back right after. A job old, who knows when. But Bowser for now, and hopefully Justin Houston could the groin injury that most likely keep him out of this Bill's game. Hopefully that'll be all good to go afterwards, even though those things can be tricky. But anyway, he said, I know we build through the draft and free agency is always right player, right price. But I'm beginning to seriously question our front office. We have a combined four players out of 20 drafted from our 2018 and 19 drafts on our roster. That's not building through the draft at all. We are repeatedly drafting the same positions over and over in an endless cycle. Then when we do score, we've scored twice on edge with Darius Smith and Judon. We let them go to the other teams just to have to rebuild all over again at that position. Judon would have been a better player for us if we use him correctly. See that one, I think with Ravens, their strategy and their thinking with those two, like Judon was a fifth round picks. Darius Smith, I believe he was a fifth round pick as well. So since they hit on both of those fifth round picks, I think Ravens felt like, hey, we could just get another fifth round pick pass, Russia. We done this, baby. We do this. And yeah, you seen the results. Anyway, we got Zyla last year in free agency and Marcus Williams this year. And lo and behold, they are great additions to our team with immediate impact. Who would have thought? I hit a sarcasm. When we continue to see immediate impact from free agents on our team, why don't we continue on that thought process? Why are we always in a building situation versus a win now situation? Ooh, ooh, ooh, hold up. Man, I'm gonna have to take off this hoodie because it's getting a little hot. Buffalo didn't need Von Milibuck, got the man anyway. Man, see this Buffalo, and I always gotta give praise to Buffalo with how they build. Not only their offense for Josh Allen, but their roster because they always show they are trying to win right here, right now. And they don't stop. Anyway, he said, Dolphins drafted Widow and still got Hill. They had questions about their young quarterback, and they making sure they get all the answers. Now, the whole concussion, ooh, yeah. Anyway, Eagles drafted Smith and got AJ Brown. Questions about their young quarterback, and they trying to get some answers. Chargers added more of your free agency. Yeah, they had both already. They went out of Gakalil, man, too. They went out and got J.C. Jackson, too. They were like, man, hey. They were like, Herbert, we love Herbert. We love what he can do, but our defense, our defense ain't stopping nobody. So, they went out and got some playmakers on defense. Who woulda thought? Anyway, he said, and the Rams won a Super Bowl via Tracy Free Agency, oh yeah, you knew Rams. We on arming up during free agency, we band-aid. Marcus Williams, he was in arm up. Michael Pierce, I'll say he was, too. Morgan Moses, I think that was, that was a solid move. It was a, I feel like that's sort of a, like, all right, you hold it down for now till we really figure out the future there. Patrick Carr, that was a carryover because he was obviously here last season. DeMarcus Robinson, that was a, ooh, that was the last minute type of thing. And it's gonna all right so far. Who else, what am I missing? I can't think of anybody else, but I get what you're saying. He said, I've never really thought about it until now, but how are we a drafting first team, yet we don't have any cap space year in and year out? And how are we so fiscally conservative, yet we never seem to have any money? Well, they do pay their own guys. Like they paid Marcus Peters, they paid Marlon Humphrey, or they paid Mark Andrews, they paid Ronnie Stanley. They gave Gus a contract extension. It wasn't really like getting paid, it was a raise, but yeah, I don't even feel like getting into the whole business thing with the Gus Edwards, cause they did the Gus Edwards thing, kind of like, that was very, not nasty, but just, I feel like they held him down as far as numbers, so they could hold him down as far as numbers were for his second contract. Cause it was times where Gus would be going off, and the radius would be like, oh, nope, next, next running back, next running back. And it's like they didn't want to showcase Gus or let Gus really eat like that. Cause Gus would do this thing from jump, but they would always move on to somebody else, and not really let him continue to get hot like that. So come contract time, they like, hey, you was an undrafted rookie free agent. Look at your numbers, look at what you've done for us. And depending on who you are, it can be hard to argue the numbers, man. But anyway, but yeah, they pay their guys. They pay a lot of their own guys. And then, oh, Nick Boyle, he got paid too. You mentioned Kevin Zitler, he was another one that got paid too. But that was free agency when we talking about their own guys. But yeah, Nick Boyle, they gave Patrick a card. He got a second contract. And oh, Justin Tucker, he was another one that got paid. But they pay a lot of their own guys. Then they have like other guys who, I think for the, what's a good word to explain it? I feel like guys who are not necessarily their premier guys, that's where it can get a little tricky as far as where you're allocating your money. So yeah, but so it is, anyway. He said, we gotta pay Lamar, but if and when we do, I'm afraid we will go back to the Flacco days and not have any talent around him in the locker room. What significant talent do they put around him now that they will lose if they pay Lamar? Think about it. Mark Andrews already on the contract. Who would they lose if they paid Lamar? Rashad Bateman is in the second year of his rookie deal. He'll be going into, if they, if they can come to an agreement with Lamar next year, but this coming off season, Rashad Bateman will be going into the third year of his rookie deal. The Markets Robinson on a one year deal. Devon Duvenay will be going into his fourth year. James Roche will be going into his fourth year. Well, no, no, no, no, they got drafted 2020. So they will be going into their third years. So yeah, no, no, they be going into their fourth years. 2020, 2020, 2020, 2020, 2022, yeah. They'll be going into their fourth year, both of them. Ooh, had to say that out loud for a second. Cause I'm like, Bateman is in his second year. Those dudes ain't in their second years. Tyler Wallace will be going into his second, his third year, excuse me. Isaiah likely will be going into his second. Charlie Kola will be going into his second. So who are you going to lose? What elite offensive talent are you going to lose? Even on the defensive side of the ball. Like, so I just, I want to see them really losing. I think Marcus Peters, and I think that's whether they pay Lamar or not, but I think Marcus Peters is a possibility. I think everything depends on this year though how he does this year. If they decide they want to keep them or they decide, you know what, this will be the last year of his deal. I think that's a big if right there. But anyway, he said, why are we acting like a farm team letting good drafted players go? I know you can't keep them all, but come on man, sorry for the long message, figured out make my first email a good one. Thank you for your hard work. No, I appreciate it. This was a fun one to go over. Because yeah, you took a deep dive into the philosophy, and it's one of those things where it's like, hey, we just got to wait it out of the sea, man. We got to wait it out of the sea. As far as the drafts and stuff, yeah, the drafts and the lack of players that they have remaining from those drafts, it's been something. It has certainly been something that I think is important to keep an eye on and to have kept an eye on. Because like you mentioned, a lot of those guys are gone. A lot of those guys just don't pay. And we know the draft is a gamble, it's a risk, but Raven's been losing out a lot more than they have been winning when it comes to the draft. This year still to be determined, obviously. But past drafts got a lot of guys that just it ain't been happening, man. Now, from the 2020 draft, it was seeming like, all right, some of these guys might be turning the corner. Like again, Devin Duvenay talked about him. Was Matta BK? I think Matta BK was the 2020 draft as well. We'll see if I approach it. Patrick Queen, still working, still working on some stuff. I don't remember everybody else off the top of my head, but it's just been crazy, man. And it's something that, again, we've been talking about on here an update to the philosophy. And the philosophy is not just what we be talking about on offense, it's just philosophy in general, man, just with the whole team. It just, they need some serious, I feel like they need to take a serious look and some serious looks in the mirror, because they obviously are very well respected franchise. Anytime you talk to fans of other teams and they talk about the Ravens franchise, they say, oh, they are so well respected, they so well run. And I wouldn't want Ravens to sort of get big headed and get like, hey, well, hey, we've been doing this thing for a long time. People respect us around here. They always say how well run of an organization we are. So we don't need to fix anything. We're good. We don't need to change anything. We don't need to upgrade anything. What we do, the way we do it is good. I wouldn't want them to just get lacks like that. Cause in whatever you do, I think you should always be looking for improvements. I think you should always be looking for ways to get better, but anyway. So good questions, great stuff to think about as far as the front office. I know my guy, Kevin, in his question, he was sort of alluding to some of the same stuff, but more so he was talking about on the offensive side of the ball. Like, yeah, you took it to both sides of the ball. So yeah, man, we just gotta wait it out. Next question came from Oreo Cookie. He said, I ain't gravy. Me being only 16, I, I, years old, I only know bad Joe Flacco. He said, I only know bad Joe Flacco and Lamar. I was six when they won the Super Bowl. I would like to know what, what was it like in your eyes to win the Super Bowl? Oh, and one more thing, cold weather is so much better than warm weather. And as, as typical, have a good rest of your day. Whoa, hold up now. You are, you're talking crazy now. Cold weather is better than warm weather? No, are you crazy, man? Walking around in hoodies all day when it's cold, nobody. Anyway, when in the Super Bowl, that was, it was just a crazy experience because you gotta think about the years prior. They drafted Joe Flacco and there was this, he was this quarterback. He looked like a Bert from Sesame Street. And he a very quiet guy, just very, I don't want to say timid, but his Flacco was just Flacco, man. The Ravens really wanted Matt Ryan, but they couldn't get him. But they drafted Flacco, I think number 18 overall in the 20, 2008 draft. But they got him. He wasn't even supposed to start. I think Troy Smith was supposed to start, but he had got like tonsillitis. So they say he lost a bunch of weight. Then Steve McNair, I think, I think he had an injury. May they have Steve McNair? Joe Flacco, look here, something happened with Steve McNair. I think, I think he got an injury. But either way, Flacco ended up starting. He wasn't supposed to start week one. He ended up starting week one. And I would always remember that, I think it was a 56-yard touchdown run. That was his first touchdown. I don't think he threw his first touchdown. I think his first touchdown that he threw was to Daniel Wilcox against the Steelers, being like a two-yard touchdown or something. I think, anybody correct me if I'm wrong, please do. But Flacco, that first touchdown, when he ran for like 56 yards or 48, something like that, I think it was 56 yards. I have a long run, especially for Flacco. But I was going crazy. I remember watching a game with my guy. I think it was, I'm pretty sure it was against the Raiders. Oh, no, no, it was against the Bengals, it was against the Bengals. I was jumping. I was jumping. I remember the sign in the stands, it said Wacko for Flacco. I think that was his parents holding it up. But yeah, it was crazy. And just watching him and really watching the team go through what they went through, first year, his first year. I think they went to the FC Championship game. And then they really had some teams, man. They had some squads, man. And I've actually think 2012, no, 2011, that was one of their best teams, man. Then 2012 too, but 2011, that was a squad, man. But yeah, just watch them have success in the playoffs every year and then just getting so close. And as a fan, it was painful, man. Like them getting so close and then losing, it's like, oh, man. Because you think about all the what-ifs, what could have beens, how come it wasn't, why didn't it go down, what happened, it was pain. So then that made that, and then the Ray Lewis feature in 2011. Oh, man. I remember watching that so many times and just crying, crying, crying, like really like crying. Because it was so painful, man. I was like, oh, man, I was like crying, man. And then it just made 2012 just that much better because they finished. They finished, they finished what they started. And 2011, that was the closest that they had ever gotten. Obviously minus 2000, but the current team under the hardball, under Flacco, under this new Ray Lewis every, but that was the closest that they ever got. It was a 2000, they were so close. They were kick away from going in overtime in the ASC Championship game to get to the Super Bowl. And Billy Cundiff missed it. Why left? So then the following year with them winning, it was just crazy. And the way that they won, they beat the current, the future, and the past. They beat the future, well, we thought was the future, Andrew Luck, the past that they beat was Peyton Manning. And the current that they beat was Tom Brady. And I guess you could say Peyton Manning was current too because him and Broncos won the Super Bowl, I think the two years after that, I think. But anyway, it was just nice, man. It was nice. It was just crazy just going through that. My favorite game ever wasn't even a Super Bowl. It was the Broncos game because I'm just like, man, these Ravens, they historically have problems with Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning had just whooped them early that year. Broncos had whooped them early that year. And then Kwamp-Boden was like, we gonna see them again. We gonna see them again. Well, they just talking, hey, who knows? Did he know something? Hey, who knows? But the way that they finished after failing the previous year just made the Super Bowl that much sweeter. That was a special year. That was a year. I got baptized, that was a year. Me and my wife got married that the whole Super Bowl season. That was her first Ravens game that she had ever been to. Cause we went to the Ravens versus Raiders game in 2012 that season. And Ravens were just running up that score and I loved it. I loved it. So yeah, man, it was a special year. Very, very special year. And they did it. They did it, they made it happen. And it's something that I won't ever forget. And it's just what I made. You two take it with glee. You see my boy, he like automated. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right in Ravens? Right in Ravens. Shout out to Ravens.
