 This next episode of question from sub is gonna be sort of a patron takeover And before we get into a special shout-out to the team keep it clean patrons, the newest patrons Willy C and Pablo 702 So I appreciate y'all because again with being a patron It's something that is it makes it more special since it's nothing that's required I mean it's something that people are willing to do people going out of their way to do to show extra support for the channel And I thank you for that shout out to every single patron The old ones who've been there from the jump the new ones who are more recent and everything in between and everybody I love y'all. I appreciate y'all love everybody But for the patrons, I really appreciate what y'all do of anybody that would possibly like to become a patron If you want to cool if you don't want to cool, it's fine either way, please do not ever feel bad For and do not ever apologize to I seen some people apologize. Oh, sorry. I can't don't apologize for not becoming a patron That does not deserve an apology. It's okay But if anybody who would like to become a patron you can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids And like I said, if you don't want to that's fine as well But getting into it the first question came from my guy Nazarene he said hey, what's good engraving question for you and appreciate you being a patron is Question for you and the fans. So look when Calamari got his contract Everyone was saying that that's the type of contract Lamar should get now that the contract clause has been exposed Do you think the Ravens will have a similar clause in Lamar's contract matter of fact? What do you think the clause in Lamar's contract would be if the Ravens added one appreciate you now? I appreciate you now that first part Everyone saying that's the kind of contract Lamar should get I think for Lamar If I'm him, I'm Not even asking I'm demanding more guaranteed money I'm demanding more guaranteed money because I'm looking at Calamari. I'm looking at his track record I'm looking at the level of success that he's obtained I'm looking at all the accolades and I'm comparing that to me. I'm like, okay That's cool. Shout out to Calamari. By the way, and hope he does well, but he hasn't reached Lamar Jackson level yet So I am I'm saying hey, I need more guaranteed money from jump now the part of your question that I Like the most he said now that the contract clause has been exposed even though they removed it now Apparently, but he said now that the contract clause has been exposed Do you think the Ravens will have a similar clause in Lamar's contract? Oh man, no, I do not because Lamar Jackson throughout his career and and still now like it and it's never gonna stop. He has continued to be disrespected People try to talk down on him as a quarterback as a person and He has continued to be disrespected. I think that there would absolutely be no way no chance at all That Lamar Jackson's camp would allow a clause like that to be in his contract because you know like college every contract gets looked at super close But Lamar Jackson's contract is going to be looked at even closer than any of these other contracts because it's Lamar Jackson We know and if they were to have something in there That would make Lamar Jackson that would make him look bad and that would be a disrespect To him as a quarterback to him as a professional the fellow. Yeah, you got a study. What was it? At least four hours a week. If the Ravens put that in there, I don't think Lamar Jackson would even sign that contract I think him and his camp will look at that and they say don't try us Don't try us with that. No, don't don't put no clause like that because again because it would be dissected and Even before it got dissected and whatnot from the media and whatnot Having to have that in a contract Why would you even pay a guy if you feel like you have to force them to study? Why would you pay a guy because if you got to force somebody to study that means you don't really trust them and a Quarterback of your franchise if you're really paying them all that money. He let you you got a study though What kind of contract is that so they and I don't think that would that would make it to a Lamar Jackson contract Then he said matter of fact, what do you think the clause in Lamar's contract will be if the Ravens added one? Probably free meals for the team at least once a year from the restaurant when I I think I Know That's a really good question I'm sure there would be like they will want to limit certain things that he does in the off season They may want to limit certain activities or the level of activity that he engages in physically in the off season I could see them putting something like that because because again, it's a big contract. So things like that are expected But I can't think of like anything too crazy like anything too wild And as long as it ain't anything that's disrespectful The next question came from a boy Marco and shout out to you for being a patron and continuing to send fire questions Let's see if you keep that fire going. He said what's good in gravy I was watching a live training camp and kept pausing it when they showed the crowd to see if I see you But unfortunately didn't it's all good as long as simply got shown I'll sit right next to simply shout out to him by the way that that's my guy man But yeah, I was sitting right next to him But he said anyways, I think it's a good idea that the Ravens don't pick up a vet wide receiver And here's why I'm off of Lamar having more help and targets However, unlike most teams Ravens have at least two tight ends and one running back on the field meaning they'll they have only two I receivers out there at all times Sometimes three tight ends and one running back. Therefore only one wide receiver out there My point is in our scheme and philosophy Why receiver one and why receive it to get the bulk of the targets mostly why receiver one Which would be Bateman why receiver three four five might not get more than a couple of targets I think losing Hollywood Boykin and Watkins actually helps our current receivers because they'll actually have opportunities to be out there And not be drowned out by other guys. Well, certainly of course Semi Watkins was a starter Hollywood's a starter. So of course losing those guys will give opportunities to Everybody else that's left So yeah, and then Boykin to them removing him that added just another spot that let it every time you lose somebody On the depth chart especially somebody that's in front of you obviously you get to move up a bit So I'm sure all the other receivers. They were not necessarily happy about though, but they probably happy about those other guys leaving He said I think addition by subtraction in this case benefits our current core now Whether or not it benefits the Ravens in the more long term that remains to be seen But I'm very confident optimistic after what I've seen in camp Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this looking forward to all the videos stay safe and peace out Yeah, we'll see Something that we talked about in another video is with the Ravens receivers them just Viewing this situation as I it's my time now. It's my time to have a chance It's my time to really have a shot Because I likened it to situations that I've been in I try to really put myself in their shoes When you feel like you you deserve a shot and you you're worthy of a shot and you're worthy of a Chance and you just consistently not getting it. It can be frustrating But then when the opportunity presents itself It's like are you you want to make the most of it? So this could be the Ravens receivers making The most of it. I still think the Ravens philosophy it does need some fine tuning But I guess if since since they're not gonna fine tune it right well, we'll see we'll see we don't know yet We got to see how they do things But if if they're gonna just continue to do what they've been doing then hey Oh, hopefully it just works out the best way that it possibly came his next two questions came from my boy Phil And appreciate you being a patron. He said this morning on get up Jeff Darlington reported yesterday at Ravens camp He spoke to a few people and was told Baltimore has laid down one of their final offers to Lamar But wasn't able to find out what the offer was since he has no agent You can't find out anyway If you were Lamar, would you accept or put your career on the line and play out the final season of your contract? Because of Lamar gets hurt a third year in a row it could lower his value and cost him money in future office Third year in a row yet that that it that would be Technical but again third year in a row paints it like this dude is some injury-prone player And like he's always getting hurt because again, it's just the way that you say it It's not what you say, but how you say it. Oh, yeah, Lamar getting hurt 30 in a row That would lower his value and cost him money in future office But let's look at what happened and how it happened The first year the concussion Patrick McCarty decided he wanted to play quarterback. He was jealous. He wanted to play quarterback So he threw it that threw a ball to Lamar Lamar went down to catch it was incomplete Lamar went down to pick it up and then boom got whacked landed on his head boom He's out for the rest of the game and as a playoff game too by the way Um, so he just missed the rest of the game. He missed the season He missed a bunch of games and then of course last year Um on a passing play Offensive line, you know, they weren't good at blocking last year, but um offensive line Let the pressure through jock came through Lamar rolled out to his right through the ball jock went for them ankles And that was it then that took Lamar out for the rest of the season and that was that Um, so it's not like like with the injuries that he's got It's not like it's because of his play style because that's the the way you said it could lead someone to believe like oh Man Lamar Jackson, he plays the game reckless and it's because he's doing all that running. That's why he got hurt and But it's it's the exact opposite and that's what a lot of these analysts have done too They say oh, yeah Lamar Jackson. He got hurt the last two years He didn't make that to the end of the season last two years. I'm saying, uh, well, that's that's why we say context is so important um but With Lamar Jackson like if if the office is not good enough then no, yeah, you just play play it out you play it out You should not short term yourself, especially if you know your value never short term never short term never low ball yourself never know your worth Know your worth and don't accept anything less All right, this next question He said now since Brady reached out to Julio before he made his decision between Green Bay Tampa and New Orleans Oh, he was thinking about New Orleans. Well, okay Yeah, they do go against them Falcons. He's probably still looking for revenge um He said he's made enough money and wanted the best chance of Uh, the best chance at getting a ring now that he's about 32 years old with the receiver court of mike evans chris garwin Russell gage julio scottie miller Johnson, uh, which causes the younger receivers to lose playing time I know it won't happen since it seems the adc is looking for tall receivers with a height advantage Um, but after garwin went down, we saw the speed that scottie miller showed in the playoffs last year Who I believe is still on his rookie contract Which would probably only cost a fourth or fifth rounder. What are your thoughts? Honestly, um, I don't think ravens need any more little receivers Um, they don't need any more smaller slot wide receivers um, I My personal preference opinion all that Is that they It would it would be more beneficial for them to get Uh an outside guy an outside receiver not another smaller Receiver that's gonna no No more smaller slot receivers Go get another outside guy. You got a lot of smaller slot receivers already Scotty miller. Yeah, he's cool. Great. But I just No, if they got him, okay cool, whatever, but No, man, I think they need more big body guys bigger catch radius is um bigger targets Just yeah, no more no more slot guys for me question came from a boy Zalon, I don't even try to read that name because I know I didn't mess it up already And it's only gonna get worse from here. But anyway, next question came from my guys He said do you think we will see good mediocre or just bad tackling in the pre-season from our guys? No, I think the tackling will be great because it's pre-season And you know ravens in the pre-season they've been undefeated for years And they are undefeated for years for reasons. So it should be great Now let's just hope in the regular season it can be great as well tight end bad luck Next question came from my guy sedaria and he said in grave and hope you and the fam are doing great One thing I've noticed is that when the ravens double-dip it tight in the second tight end draft It ends up having a better career for the ravens while the first tight end tends to flame out Well, yeah, this has been a conversation that's been brought up recently Especially after charlie collard with his hernia injury And now he's I think did he have the surgery already or is he having it this week? I forget but he's gonna have the surgery. So he'll be out for a while. But anyway, um, he said, uh Ed Dixon and Dennis pitta. Yeah, we know how that went Um max williams and nick boyle. Oh Oh That's a good one. I forgot about that one Uh hayden hearse and mark andrews. Well, we know how that's going and now charlie collard and isiah likely Um, he said isiah likely was already the better receiving option and has look great at camp I'm not saying that this will happen again, but this pattern isn't looking good for charlie collard Especially with the sports hernia injury. What are your thoughts? Hey, yeah, that's that's how it's been. Um for the ravens and their tight ends. Um, and charlie collard I'm sure I'm sure that he he doesn't seem to update and all that he doesn't seem this sort of statistic or whatnot So he got to be looking like man. I gotta hear him come back so Um, but yeah, I mean we we just got to see how it it plays out because yeah, that has been the pattern When the ravens they took two uh that that second one that they took end up being more successful So we'll see what happens without their likely. What's up with edc? Next question came from terry Said ain't graven. Hope you in the fam chilling and having a blessed summer May god continue to bless you. I know it's been a minute since that's in the question Hey, it's all good may not appreciate and I appreciate Everything man He said I wanted to ask you this is it embarrassing to say that the bucks have done more for tom brady's first three years in Tampa than the ravens Uh, proving helpful the mars first five years in the league and it's not even that But guys like herbert who hasn't played a single playoff and I can't believe i'm saying this but the jets with zack wilson If you don't mind, I wanted to break it down for you and to have more context if you don't mind And if you don't want to go through it, it's completely fine. No, you know context is everything here, man Um, the bucks had mike evan and chris garwin got antonio brown Russell gauge hulio jones lina for net ronald jones grok and kyle rudolf And they already had a brate and um O.J. Howard too. Can't can't forget about those guys. Anyway, uh, oh and scottie miller too Anyway, uh charges, of course, they already had their y receiver core in austin eckler But jerald, uh, everett shawn slater dion johnson this year's first round pick and quarry lindsley. So, uh, adding weapons and upgrade really upgrading the offensive line Uh, the jets having macae beckton quarry davis Uh, cj uzama, uh, bruce hall michael carter gary wilson lige more mind you zack wilson's second year Sorry for the long statement, but I had to say it. Thank you for being great. Best is yet to come and trust appreciate that um It depends on who you ask if the ravens really, uh Have helped lamar jackson like that. Um, it all depends on who you ask because some people were like a edc He's been pushing with these wide receivers. You saw in his first draft. He drafted hollywood and miles boykin So he tried for the small speedy receiver and he tried for the the big body receiver Um now but both are gone Uh, then he said hey in 2020 He drafted duvenay in the third round. He drafted, um James pro shade in the fifth or sixth round. There you go. He double dipped again Then in 2021 they say hey rasha bateman first round receiver then tylen wireless in the fourth round It's like, okay. So with the draft, um, he's been trying with the draft. They they they've been trying um But then as far as proven guys Oh, they tried for the andre hopkins. Oh, yeah, they fell short They were interested in julio jones when he was still with the falcons when he's getting ready to leave But uh, they didn't they were like, oh, no, they they they decided. No, it's not a good move It's like, okay Okay, and they were interested in javis landry, but oh There were a lot of interest for different guys and whatnot they tried for some different guys, but a lot of it didn't happen He decided sammy walkins And they had hollywood and I think I think that was the best scenario, but then everybody got hurt Because they had hollywood sammy walkins rasha bateman and then duvenay and pro shade um And and tylen wireless too. So and and boykin. So I thought last year they were in a good situation, but everybody got hurt um So I just it didn't get to really be maximized, but then there's been the dez Bryant's has been really sneak who was straight um been saith robert's um They're just like as far as a proven guys They're just the quality just hasn't been there The quality hasn't been there um, and especially when you look when you look around the league you didn't even talk about tour You didn't even talk about jaylin hurts You didn't even talk about baker mayfield Like you you so you you didn't even include a lot of guys who you could have included to make it look even worse Uh for what like the ravens have done as far as lamar jackson with his weapons tight ends though They mark Andrew. So yeah, yeah, that's that's that's a really great one um nick boyle. He's been straight, uh So and hating hurts they had him for a little bit He was cool too, but you know, he just he wanted his playing time. Um, but yeah Uh, they finally like really did a lot better in the offensive line This year really like going at it first round picks free agents um, so that that's good um But yeah, there's just it just seems to have been a lack Um, and this is what we've been just talking about for a long time, man um I've talked about it for a long time And it would be nice to see and I know there'll be a lot of y'all the ravens do things their own way Stop trying to be like these other teams ravens are the ravens. They're not these other teams But you just you you you want to see them Really show like a we lamar. We got you Lamar we got you we We we got your back, man There's all we want to see well, that's all I want to see some people like oh, they already shown that Yes or no depends on what area you're talking about and depends on what you talk to but Uh, just doing more that that's that's what I would love to see the ravens do Expression came from my boy Daryl. He said good evening. It's my first time sitting in the email But how you in the family doing we doing really good. Hope you in the family doing even better Daryl There's no doubt that Lamar will get paid But do you think that if Lamar doesn't get paid and they they use the franchise tag on him Do you think they'll be using Lamar to train up Huntley as a replacement? Because I was watching some highlights of Huntley and his play style reminds me of Josh Allen in some ways How so? um, yeah, I wish you would have dove dove into that a little bit more, uh But I We'll see how this thing shakes out man. I hope it does not come to that I hope it doesn't come to the franchise tag Uh, because if it came to the franchise tag things could get really nasty Things could be really nasty right now, but if it comes to the franchise tag, I think things could they they could get ugly um Because if you if you make it to the franchise tag and that means The offer that you put out there wasn't good enough for him and you You could still want him you still could still want to keep him But you could also move it depending on what franchise tag they used There's that transition tag where It's a certain amount and it's cheaper I believe but the the the team if a team could offer him a deal and if He agreed to that deal then he'll get traded to that team and then the ravens will get to first round picks And the team would obviously get him as a player and they would give him a contract, but Now I will I they shouldn't do that back to your question as far as the franchise tag Do you think they could be using Lamar to train up Huntley as a replacement? I hope not I hope that's not what they're doing. Um, Huntley is cool. We love Huntley um But Lamar is Lamar Lamar Jackson is Lamar Jackson. So I I'd really hope that they do not do that I don't think that they will but anything possible till it ain't possible no more Um, but let's hope that this thing does get done There's the contract I'm talking about not What you were saying in the question next question came from my guy rich Um, he said I ain't graven great veers man. I love your but anyways, also tinkie McLean is too fresh Appreciate that man. Thank you. Now. My question is do you ever hear anything about Lamar Jackson's film study? Hmm I don't know I've never heard anything about it. Um Oh, no, no, no, no, he talks about what am I talking about? He's mentioned that a lot and like even like we've seen it. Um We've seen it like, you know, Marlon Humphrey would go live Uh, when Marlon Humphrey would go live after the games We've seen when he went to to Lamar Lamar would be Watching the the film on the ipad So, yeah, and Lamar's talked about it though. We watch film on this team and da da da And so, yeah, we've heard it directly from Lamar and we've seen the little clips and whatnot of Lamar doing it Uh, so, yeah, yeah, he said I've heard he's a savin on the field And soaks in everything after seeing it once or twice There's a repetition is what a really good teacher People don't realize how much an athlete as elite as him as well as an IQ With that high that put on 15 pounds of muscle correlates to exponential growth. Oh, okay Yeah, we're looking forward to it man Because yeah Lamar done got jack Lamar. Uh, so Yeah, we're gonna see how it translate on the field man. Is it awesome content man? Keep it the good work Oh, and here's one of my songs if you want to check it out. Okay. Oh, he got a little album rich got an album All right now rich. Okay. Appreciate that man. Thank you for sending that So I check it out. Next question came from my guy Mackay. He said hey engraving wanted to get your opinion on This NFL YouTube by respect He said that if you put the Ravens receiving core including Andrews on the Packers of Chiefs, they will become an elite team I wanted to get your thoughts on that because I know you're a big Critic to the core. We have in Baltimore. Keep up the good work so, um This old tfg football you said, uh, it's amazing. Okay, so the original tweet was uh, Brian Goote the the Packers. I think gm On a veteran wide receiver market. I don't think right now. We're really looking to add anything I really like the group we have Then tfg football said it is amazing to me that and otherwise brilliant scout and gm can have such a blatant blind spot For one position group So then somebody responded that sounds like the Ravens Then tfg football responded to them. He said it's a tired narrative in my opinion They've given Lamar good players there, but the scheme and Lamar doesn't don't elevate them I love the Ravens, but drop Bateman brown Wallace Duvenay and mark Andrews into the Chiefs of Packers, etc And that's an elite group Now it's again context is really important. I don't know if he watches the Ravens like that Um, but the half of it. I agree with Half of it. I agree with about the scheme Not elevating them that I agree with Thousand or minus Andrews because the scheme elevates the Titans, but it does not emphasize the wide receivers That I agree with and of course, we know Ravens philosophy. They don't really care about wide receivers like that That's not their thing, but the scheme. Nope. It's not for wide receivers. We know that But Lamar doesn't elevate them that part, um That part I disagree with because How can the quarterback Elevate the players if the quarterback's in the same scheme that they they're all in the same scheme together It's not like Lamar's in one scheme And the players on another scheme. No, they're all in the same scheme together So the the scheme limits the wide receivers big time And I was just saying I say a lot of these guys were on different teams They were drafted to different teams with different schemes that emphasize more in the passing game I'm sure they would be doing a lot better, but Ravens don't emphasize the passing game So yeah, this so yeah, I I disagree with half of what he said next question came from my boy Kevin B He said ain't great man. How's it going? Hope all this will they just keep saying Lamar can't do this Lamar Jackson can't do that. He needs to prove he can do this No, all he has to do is go play Lamar football in half fun Coaches has to put players in position to play at their strengths The less Lamar runs the more energy he'll have and that will make teams put less in the box man That that you brought out the more energy the less that he runs the more energy that he'll have um That that reminds me of the video that we did with um All 22 all 22 NFL films um Because he brought out some really good points about just How much Lamar Jackson has to do and how draining that can be energy wise For him to have to do the things that he does all game long That can take a lot out of you And when he presented that to us, I was like, well, I never really thought about it like that before now You're bringing it up too All right. He said they only stacked the box to stop Lamar run the ball or let Lamar throw it Come on man. It's not that hard. He should not be running the ball 60% of your run plays Stay healthy Ravens. Let's go Lamar Jackson and peace and blessings to all. Yeah, it's really important. Um, that the way that they use Lamar And that they use him more as a quarterback and again like always say he's still gonna get his runs He's still gonna get his runs and that's fine but Let's do a lot less design stuff. Let let him decide when that's that's that's how we should phrase it Let Lamar Jackson decide when he wants to run More than you deciding when he when you want him to run I think that'll be a much better way a much better use of Lamar Jackson Set him up for more throws more short throws deep throws just a mix of everything Um, but let him decide when he's gonna run a lot more than you do You
