 But something that a lot of other teams and organizations have provided their young quarterbacks that the Ravens just simply haven't done with Lamar Jackson yet. Could Patrick Queen end up being better than CJ Moseley and maybe even one day get up there with Ray Lewis. So after an offseason with the Ravens said that they would keep four running backs, a lot of us, especially myself, I doubted the entire time. But we're obviously here in the fifth week of the regular season and they have still kept all four. But what would be the most effective way that they should use them? Here's and many, many more questions on this episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers. And you know just what I mean, YouTube team keep it clean, you see my boy he like out of made it. Out of made it. Boy that's my homie, ain't that riding gravy, riding gravy. 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 answer it in a video just like this. Now if you want to be part of NFL Questions from Subscribers, all you got to do is send me an email at teamkeepitcleanatgmail.com, do not send it anywhere else, not to any other emails, send it to teamkeepitcleanatgmail.com and we'll answer your question in a video just like this or when we get a chance to, we'll do a live question from Subscribers video. So anyway I appreciate y'all, we have like literally like a million questions today when I'm recording this, the date is Thursday, I do not know if I'm going to be able to get caught up with all the questions by the time Sunday's game rolls around but we're going to try our best. So I would expect to see some longer episodes of questions from Subscribers and I know it's because I know some people been asking for the timestamps for the questions and stuff but I would love to do that but it just like, I wish maybe one day I'll show y'all like a sort of behind the scenes episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers and everything that it entails, I know it's not no major production or anything like that but it's a lot of work, it is a lot of work so I would love to do that and it's very time consuming, that's my point, it's very time consuming so even doing something like that would be extremely time consuming on top of everything or everything else that we already do. So I appreciate y'all watching the videos, I appreciate you all supporting and I appreciate you all just everything man, straight up. So thank you, like I said we got a lot of questions, we got a whole lot of questions, I don't know how many I'm going to be able to be in this video but we'll see. Anyway, let's do it. First question came from my guy Josh, he said, Aang Raven, what would you think the best defensive line in the Ravens should pick up would be? Only if we had Michael Brogas. Well, I mean if you're talking free agency, like nobody I guess because I mean their defensive line is not bad, they just slow, they slow and they can't, well they haven't really gotten after the quarterback like that. If we could trade for somebody, they'd be here in Dona, that would be the one you can't go wrong with Aaron Dono man. I don't care what like, I don't care what the needs of your team are. If you could get an Aaron Dono on there, you do it. Next question came from my boy Jarvis Fowler, he said, Mr. Engraven, love the Bengals in Ravens interview? Oh yeah, that was with my guy Ace Boogie, he said should we make a trade for J.J. Watt? Okay, well yeah, we did this question, this was actually the feature question in another episode of NFL Question from subscribers and my answer to it was if they could get him for, they didn't give up much to get him, then I'd be cool with it. But if they, first round, no, second round, no, third round pick, that'd be straight. But nothing high because J.J. Watt is injury prone, he's always hurt and what I noticed from him is that he's tired a lot, he gets gassed in those games and what good are you if you're going to be so tired while you're playing? So if they could get him for a cheap, then I would say cool. But if not, you can go ahead and pass. And this question came from my boy Kenneth B. He said, yo, in Raven, hope you're doing well. So after watching the B1 Washington game, I have some concerns. During the game, Lamar seemed to be really struggling to hit wide open receivers, one of which the interception fuller got off of him. To me, he just seemed often didn't seem as confident as he usually is in games. So my question for you is, do you think the loss to the Chiefs last week had a bigger impact on Lamar than the team or Lamar wants to say? No, I just think that it's a mix of a couple of things. I think it's one that he doesn't trust his other receivers besides Mark Andrews in Hollywood, especially Miles Boykin. Like Miles Boykin, I feel like there is absolutely no trust there. And the chemistry is off, the rapport is off, it's just, it ain't nothing there. And I'm not even saying they got no beef with each other or anything like that, but I just feel like he does not trust Miles Boykin. Another thing too, is that with the offensive line, I think the clock in his head, it goes off really fast. So I think that's been making him a little bit uncomfortable, because the offensive line, it hasn't been the offensive line that we're used to. It certainly hasn't. And I think that's had a big impact on his game. And that's just made his, not that his decision making has been bad, because it hasn't, but some throws, he should have thrown, he should have more interceptions than he does right now. Only reason he doesn't have more interceptions, because he should have at least three more. Because there was the one in the Browns game, where he threw into like triple coverage, because Hollywood was behind everybody, but Lamar didn't get it all the way out to him. And like the Browns defenders ended up dropping it or swatting it down or whatever. And then there were the two interceptions in the Chiefs game, where he threw it short. I think both were for Hollywood. Were there any in the Washington game? Well, he obviously threw the one in the Washington game, but. So yeah, I think it's that, yeah, that clock in his head. It's going off a lot faster, because he's used to getting the pressure a lot more than he was last year. Next question came from my guy, Rodil. He, Rodil said, my guy, my guy, what's going on? Hope you and your wife and Carter and all the team can be clean and living good and feeling better. Coming to you today, sitting my feelings and emotions aside and putting my GM cap on to discuss if the front office is valuing players' feelings or emotions too much and how that may or may not affect the ultimate goal. Sorry in advance to all and to all, sorry. All right, first, before we even get into this, y'all know my thoughts on this. I definitely feel like it's feelings involved with at the running back position, because I think they are really trying to keep everybody happy too much and it's taken away from the running game. You try to feed this guy, this guy, and this guy. And I can understand you want to feed everybody, but at the same time, you got to let somebody really eat. You got to let them have their own individual meal. Don't get no shared meal. Don't get no meal for three. No, it needs to be a meal for one and then the other two. They can get some, they can get, they can share their own. So they need to, I think they need to feature a back so the back can really get into rhythm, man. 18 to 20 carried, but anyway, I'm going on a tangent already. But anyway, he said, first things first, is it hard for front office personnel to come to a well-known and pretty productive player and ask them to take a back seat? Is it simply a difficult conversation or could the front office just be afraid? With that being said, who is our best running back right now today? I'm hoping you agree with me in saying Gus the Bus Edwards. Now, yeah, I think Gus is like my guy skeptical. He made a really good point. I think JK, he's the best overall running back. Now listen, wait a minute, because I know someone. JK, what are you talking about, man? Gus Edwards is the best runner. He's the best runner, straight up runner, which comes to running, that's Gus Edwards. But running back with everything that are running back entails passing, catching passes out of the back field, running in between outside the tackles and all that, pass blocking, we'll see how JK does. And now we haven't really seen too much of that. But just more all around back will be JK. But best runner, Gus Edwards. Anyway, he said, I'm hoping you agree with me in saying Gus the Bus Edwards. Besides that, didn't we just use a fairly high draft pick in which we could have gotten a pass rusher or wide receiver on a running back? Where I'm going with this is Mark Ingram, while I love him as a player and as a great, genuine human being. A blind man can see the writing on the wall while a death man can hear the flock screaming, what are we doing? Now, there's several ways I could go about this, but we have four running backs and coming into the season, I said one would be traded. I said the same exact thing, because I just did not see Gus Edwards being here. I did not see it. I'm like, no, they're gonna trade Gus Edwards. And I'm glad I was wrong. But now it seems like almost like if they're not gonna really use him, and they used him a little bit more last week, but he had nine carries, Mark Ingram had eight. So it's still a lot of the same stuff they trying to feed everybody. But yeah, I thought it would be Gus Edwards that would be gone. Then I thought toward the end of preseason, I mean not preseason, toward the end of training camp, I thought maybe Justice Hill, maybe a little bit before roster decisions came out, but everybody made it. Anyway, he said we have four running backs and coming into the season, I said one would be traded. While I can still see that happening if we are gonna run with four, at least have your best running back be a lead back. Now, I know this isn't gonna happen, but why not trade Mark Ingram? Yes, I know he is a voice and leader and has a great impact on the culture, but for once instead of us always getting leftovers and apples that fall off the tree, why not offer our own? I'm sure someone would love and possibly need a running back like Mark Ingram right now. Now, okay, okay. If we aren't gonna go there, why not trade Gus? I don't wanna hear keeping his value down. We wanna win a Super Bowl this year. A worry about keeping a running back that doesn't even start is underappreciated and will still be robbing to JK Dobbins next year. I'm just totally confused. Now, if we aren't gonna trade any running backs at least let Gus be our lead back. JK be the change in pace back. Mark be the goal line back. And even Justice Hill be the part returner. Now, you mean to tell me we are just gonna waste justice fee like that? What are your thoughts, my guy? That's, this ain't a lot of the same thing. Well, not to trade him Mark Ingram part, but yeah, having him sort of take a back seat. And because even with Mark Ingram, like he hasn't, it ain't like he been looking bad this year. He looked like he lost a little bit of a step, but and even if he didn't lose a step, Gus has just been the best runner this year out of the three. He has been the best, most efficient runner out of those three. And I agree with you on the part where you said, let him be the lead back. Cause they should. And then I was like, if they're not gonna let him be the lead back, man. And again, the Washington game, they used them a little bit more. But I feel like if they, I was saying it before the Washington games, you're not gonna use them, man. I don't want them to trade them, but you might as well trade them if you ain't gonna use them. You might as well. Because this guy, he just, it will be frustrating just seeing the lack of opportunities that he gets when he gets opportunities. And he always makes the most of them. And they just, I feel like it's been a slow process. They, again, they did make progress in the Washington game. And hopefully against the bingles, it'll be even more progress. I'm not that confident in coaching to, I'm not that confident in coaching with how it's been this year for them to make significant progress in the running game and just how they use the running backs in this game against the bingles. But I'm hoping that they end up proving me wrong. I'm hoping that they do let Gus Edwards be sort of the lead guy. And yeah, like you said, J.K. Changer-Pace, Mark Ingram. Yeah, I mean, Gus Edwards, he's a really good goal line back as we know. But Mark Ingram, you can still use him too. You haven't catching pass out of backfield. I mean, yeah, Mark Ingram, I don't think, I would never expect them to trade him during this season. I think, not even during the off-season, because if they were gonna get rid of him, I think they would just decline that third year option. Because that's something that I forget about a lot of times that the third year of his deal is an option year. So Mark Ingram, so this year, I do not think he would be going anyway. But in justice here at Point Return, I mean, I think with them at Point Return, the reason why they use James Proshada is because he's safe. He's not fast at all, but his hands are safe. And I feel like they got so used to, because we hadn't had an electric point returner. We hadn't had an electric returner in so long that I feel like the Ravens, they got, what's the word I'm looking for? They got maybe content. Maybe if that's the word, they got content at Point Return with just being willing to have somebody back there that's just not gonna turn the ball over. I don't think they really wanted anything special back there. I'm sure they wanted, but they're like, ah, we rather just have somebody safe back there instead of risking somebody who got shaky hands or something like that. So that's why James Proshada is there. I think he's just safe. Yeah, with Justice Hill, he was active for the first time against Washington, but he was just on special teams on like, I think, on kick coverage units, but that was it. So, I mean, even with Justice Hill, if they put him at Point Return, you never know what could happen, but they just going with the safe option there. That's all that I think that is. And then he said, round two, excuse me, similar to Mark Ingram's situation, bring me to, brings me to Ronnie Stanley. Ooh, this is a touchy subject for a lot of people. He said, being as though we just paid Marlowe, I'm pretty sure Ronnie is long gone. He can't finish a full season, yikes. And being as though Lamar is not a pocket QB, I think the necessity or needing him is not as high. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love Stanley and what he brings to the line, but if we know we can't bring him back, why not trade him instead of letting him walk for nothing? That I think there's absolutely no way that the Ravens let Ronnie Stanley walk for nothing. I think it is absolutely new way. I think there is a zero chance of that happening. Now, I'm not saying that I think there's a zero chance of him being gone, because I do think there's a high chance of that. I think that is really realistic. I think Ravens, of course, wanna keep him, but you just never know, and it is business, man. But with Ronnie Stanley, if he is to go to another team, they're not just gonna get a third round pick, a third round comp pick for him. They are not gonna do that. You know they're not gonna do that. The worst that they would do, well, not even the worst, but the absolute least that they would do would be to get a first round pick for him, because they would place the franchise tag on him, and then let people know, hey, Ronnie Stanley, he's available via trade, get you a premier left tackle, and then they would, I'm pretty sure, because if it's Ronnie Stanley, man, he would get a lot of office. So plenty of people would wanna trade for Ronnie Stanley. And if they did do that, then I'm sure that they would do it way before the deadline came to where you can give players contract extensions that are on the franchise tag. Because you know the deadline is in July to where if they don't get an extension by a certain time in July, then they gotta play on the franchise tag the whole year. But I'm sure they will come to an agreement with trading him to a team, so a team could work out an extension with him. They could lower the cap hit, he's happy, they're happy, Ravens are happy, everybody wins. And then I think, like I said in another video, I think they would just kick Orlando Brown over there. And that's why injuries are so, injuries play such a big part in the whole scheme of things, because as we saw, like this was something that we had talked about before, and question from subscribers, is the possibility of Ronnie Stanley being traded. And Orlando Brown being kicked over there, because that's what he did in college. So whenever that was thought of, a lot of people were like, well, that's crazy, that wouldn't happen. But then Ronnie Stanley is injured, and he misses a game, because I think he misses like a game in a year, something like that, but he's injured and he misses a game, and we're hearing all this, oh yeah, DJ Fluca gonna be on the left side, DJ Fluca gonna be the left tackle for this game. Okay, cool. But then like an hour, hour and a half before kickoff, we're hearing, wait a minute, Orlando Brown Jr. is actually gonna be at left tackle. So it was like, oh, okay. So now, and it was just one game. It was just one game, but now Raven's got to see a sample size of what that life would be like with Orlando Brown Jr. over there. So we'll see what happens. Like I said before, anything, everything's on the table. Everything is on the table. It's not like Ronnie Stanley is locked in to stay here. It's not like Ronnie Stanley is locked in to leave. Now then moving on to Marlon Humphrey and extending him. Hey, that's an extension, another extension. That's another contract extension that they gave out when they can't give them all to everybody. Cause you know, again, Orlando Brown's coming up, Mark Andrews coming up. Of course, Lamar is coming up. You got Matt Jude on as well. I don't think he's gonna get re-signed though. I think he's gonna be another one that's on the outside looking in. And I think for him, for him, I think they'll get the third round comp pick. But for Ronnie Stanley is no way. There's no way because they could franchise tag Matt Jude on again, but when you have the, if you have to choose between franchise tagging Matt Jude on or franchise tagging Ronnie Stanley, then you know Ronnie Stanley is gonna get you much bigger compensation than a Matt Jude on would. So, yeah, we'll see what happens with that. But oh, now, it sounds like when you said on this last part, but if we know we can't bring him back, why not trade him instead of letting him walk for nothing? And it sounds like you are ready to trade him now. That I don't see happening at all. Now, I don't see them trading in him during this season, but certainly it is a possibility for this coming, excuse me, off season. And then he said, round three. Finally, as I've been preaching and preaching and preaching, I need us to go get a dog. Is that of us blaming them off for having 97 passing yards against the Chiefs? Let's go get him a Superstar or at least an A All-Star ride receiver. Now, I know you personally are all about the youth movement and I'm with you, but what about when the coaches are moving the youth? I mean on defense. I see Patrick Queen looking great. Malik Harrison making plays and even Bradrick Washington getting opportunities. But on offense, here we go. DuVernay can barely get in. Approachate only time he is in on offense is in his dreams of horn manning. This guy, man. And as soon as JK get going, we take him out. So if we draft young offensive weapons and don't give them real opportunity to get a feel for the game and to develop, what are we doing? The mall will continue to struggle if these young wide receivers aren't learning the game from playing the game. And with you right there, like I've been saying it for the past couple of weeks that I do expect more and more of DuVernay. And after last week, really after just the last couple of weeks, I see no reason why you shouldn't start DuVernay. Like it just makes all the sense in the world because Boykin, great blocker, but him and Lamar just, they ain't got it. And I'm saying that they will never get it but they ain't got it. So why not put DuVernay in? What's the worst that could happen? That him and Lamar don't have a connection? I mean, that's how it already is with Miles Boykin. But DuVernay gives you a threat, a threat to take the top off a defense, man. It just, anyway, he said, now do we go back to blaming the coaches for development? We could, but you can't simulate Sunday game day action and practice throughout the week. The best experience is experience. So with that said, Lamar's strength is running and weakness is throwing. Get him an absolute weapon that can help Lamar develop better. Josh Allen at Stephon Diggs. Baker has OBJ and Jarvis Landry, yeah. Jared Goff has Cooper Cup and Robert Woods. Kyler just came in and was gifted. DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, Larry Fitz, Andre is, Andy Isabella. And Watson, he had DHOP and Mahomes, he said, I don't even need to go there. This right here, this right here has to be the biggest difference. And somebody, I think it was my guy, Cayenne, but somebody was saying like, I'm pretty sure it was him, but somebody was talking about why every other young quarterback, they had like, they had that guy at wide receiver form. They had that, they had that guy, that veteran guy, but Ravens ain't provide Lamar with somebody like that. They provided him with some vet, well, that was actually, they provided Fleckle with that. But Ravens ain't give, because yeah, Lamar had just got Fleckle, Fleckle left overs originally. But it's like, the Ravens never, they never gave Lamar that guy ever. I don't know, it's only the third year, but they didn't do it in second year starting. So, it's only been two years, because the first year don't count as far as them giving him that guy, because again, that was Fleckle's leftovers. But it's like, with them not giving him that guy, again, Kyla, and his second Deandre, and I mean in his first year he had Larry Fitz too, like that's a stable. Patrick Mahon, of course got the world over there, the world. Tyree Kill, McCollough, Harbin, Sammy Watkins, those guys could start on a lot of teams. Two out of those three guys could start on maybe any team. And of course Travis Kelsey as well, he could start on any team. And like the other guys that he mentioned too, like thinking about Andy Dahl, he had AJ Green, well they came in together though. So that's a little bit different. But the Ravens just, they didn't provide him with that. Matt Ryan, of course, Julio, who else? Like, oh, not, what's his name though? Sam Donnell, not, but that's the Jets. But then you can say that's the Browns in the Browns game, Mayfield, Odell Beckham, and Jarvis, like so, oh yeah man. It's, so that's something that I hope, that I hope one day, man. Who knows? But anyway, he said, all these QBs are 25 or younger and all to what wide receivers do was make the QBs that much better. With that said, can we please go get someone, anyone to help this wide receiver group? Could you imagine the impact someone like Steve Smith or Anquan could do for leadership in the wide receiver room? We need to make a move. Will Fuller, DJ Shaw, Corey Davis, Michael Gallop, DJ Moore, Marvin Jones, Mike Williams or some names that I think sound reasonable that could come in and instantly help. What do you think? And as always, peace, love and blessings, my brother. Yeah man, like I said, just, it just makes, it makes too much sense for the Ravens to really, and I mean, now looking back at it, I know my guy, Cayenne, he is going to be like, he's probably going to type in all caps. This is what I've been talking about because he's been talking about it. Literally the entire off season and during the entire season too, he been bringing it up a little bit as well. He said the Ravens need, they need to get somebody at receiver, man. He's saying that this ain't it, man. And he been saying the same thing, same thing at all these other young QBs, they got their guy, they got that guy at receiver. But Ravens ain't get that til them all. And I think it, was it Rodeo? It might have been Rodeo, but it was somebody that actually, they said that they talked about how the Ravens, they don't, they didn't invest in, they don't invest in offense like they do on defense. Like, and this has still been the same thing, even under Eric Dacosta so far, where he'll draft some young guys now on off, but as far as free agency and investing in that. And we've heard about him trying to get some people like DeAndre Hopkins, but he's also tried to get Jadaven Clowney, also tried to get Jamal Adams, also tried to get Yannick Ngagwe. He got Marcus Peters, got Kaleis Campbell. So you hear about all these defensive guys, but as far as offense, you don't hear too much on that side. And it's the same, it was the same way with Ozzy. It's like with the Ravens, they, and we know, excuse me, with Ravens, the defense, that's been there in mode for the longest, but that's sort of started to change with Lamar. But even still, like you can still have a good defense, but if there's something offense too, like with defense, they able to do this and they able to do that. They like, hey, hey, big spindle. He over here spending all that money and all that, dropping all this cash on this guy. That guy, that guy, that guy. And even though he regretted some contracts that we gave out like the Earl Thomas deal and the Michael Brockers and we trying to get out of both of them clean, they got all this money for defense, but when it comes to offense, it's just like, oh, my fault, man. I ain't got it. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry. I just, I ain't got it. So my, my, my fault. Can I, can I get back with you another time? So that can be so frustrating because it's like, you know, you can make some moves happen. Like, and who do we get on offense? We got DJ Flucca. He came at a vet menu. We got, who we get this off season on offense? Kept Mark Ingram. Mark Ingram is the second year of three year, $15 million deal. Super bargain deal, which I'm not complaining that it's a bargain deal, but at the same time, it's like, and of course last year, he, he made that, he was worth way more than that deal. But, um, like, and then they invested a first round draft pick in Hollywood. They invested a second round draft pick and died, but as far as free agency and spending the cash, because that's not really spending the cash yet. They don't down a roll, but right now, no. What do we do? What do you do on offense in free agency? Really, uh, nothing. They brought in Parker Anger, then he was there for training camp, but he got cut. Um, so yeah, they, they haven't done anything there. And unless I'm, I'm trying to, I'm trying to think if I forgot somebody, cause I can't think of anybody, at least anybody that's there now. So it's just been, it's been the same story for a while now. And hopefully this story can have a different ending very soon. And I know we've talked about it extensively on here. Let's go with the young guys. Let's get these guys a shot, because the Ravens had had such a problem with the development of their own wide receivers. It's been rough, but now it's like, okay, Hollywood, we know who Hollywood is. We know what he can do. And once him and Lamar get on that same page, it's game over. Cause Hollywood been showing, hey, he'll be a beat some cornerbacks. He will beat some cornerbacks. He will get some separation, but Lamar just ain't put, he ain't been putting it on him. But who else, who else is going to be that receiver? Who else is going to like command some respect? Who else? And that's the question that we just, we just been waiting on for to see for a long time. So right now the Ravens, they are in win Super Bowl now mode. So I think it, why do you want to give your young guys a shot and give them those development opportunities? You still, you could go out and get a veteran wide receiver, like a real deal wide receiver. And you could have him an outside receiver, real number one guy. And you could have one of my guys, David, David, who he started doing his YouTube videos again. Let me, I got to find his channel so I could say his exact name on here. David, the sports and gamer nerd. That's what is, that's his YouTube, that's his YouTube name. So we, yeah, we're going to definitely be getting him on the channel soon too, but he made a very good suggestion. But he was talking about the receivers that we already have, but if, and if we're going to be talking about the receivers, if, and he said if they could have DuVernay or as outside receiver. And I think he said Willie Snead as an outside receiver and put Hollywood in a slot. So that would give them a new look and a new opportunity to eat me. But I would even take it a step further. If the Ravens like really got a veteran guy, not a veteran, when I say veteran, I mean the old guy. I mean that, but they got a real quality number one wide receiver. And that can be hard because don't nobody really want to give away a number one wide receiver like that. But if they got somebody that could be the number one wide receiver and he could play outside and then you have DuVernay as the other outside receiver put Hollywood in the slot or they could alternate or whatever, that could be something serious, man. That could be something serious because you throw Hollywood on a little slant route giving the ball like, and Ravens to the Ravens, even like somebody brought that to my attention the other day. Like why don't the Ravens really use slant routes like that? And I was thinking like, hold up, do they? Doesn't really seem like it. But I don't know, man. So hopefully with wide receiver, they can work on that, man. And I mean, even if you can't trade for anybody right now, at least give DuVernay a shot. Give DuVernay a shot, give the defense some different looks instead of just the same old stuff. Cause again, it can't be any worse than what it's been so far. Next question came from my boy, Garrett H. He said, hello, Ingraven. Hope you and your family doing well. I have a few questions after that atrocious Monday night game. So again, like I told y'all, we still getting caught up with some questions from after the game where people were venting. Let's let them vent. He said, number one, during that game, the thing I noticed most about the defense is that Judon wasn't setting the edge and just rushing freely, which caused the Chiefs to run the ball outside with Clyde Edwards-Alea or Mahomes to run. The defense had many third and longs but couldn't get stops. Yes, that's true. They had a good amount of third and longs. And it was like, okay, yeah, let's go. All right, defense is third down. It's third down. Shout out to my guy, JB Smooth. But Chiefs will convert. It seemed like Chiefs would convert in like 95% of the time on third downs. It wasn't that high, but they were converting a lot of them. And then you said, number two, do you think that if we lose Greg Roman, it would be a good thing? Yes, he's done a lot for this offense, but it seemed like he tries to get cute instead of doing whatever works. I just, I hope that he makes, I hope he makes the decision hard for whatever happens at the end of the season. And what I mean when I say that is that I hope he has a bounce back next three quarters of the season till where that offense gets to going again, that offense gets rolling again. And he makes us almost forget about these first four games and how just weird the play-calling has been. That will probably be the best way to put it, weird. Cause it hasn't been all bad. It hasn't been all good. It hasn't been consistent. It's been weird. The play-calling and the distribution of the football, it's been weird. So hopefully he makes it to where we're like, oh man, come on, Greg Roman, stay. Stay another year. But then at the same time, he's really getting some opportunities. He's really getting some chances, some interviews and all that stuff. So let's see how that goes. And he said, number three, last question. Do you think we would trade for a big name pass, Russia? Like a Cam Jordan or Marcus Davenport if the Saints continue to lose games? If the Ravens traded for Cam Joe, that's one that I ain't even think of. No, I don't think the Saints would, I don't think they would trade him. Cause I mean, yeah, I don't think they would trade Cam Jordan, man. Oh, that dude, he is nice. But I just, I don't think there's any way that the Saints would trade Cam Jordan. Of course you never know. Cause again, this is a nasty business, but I just, I don't see the Saints doing that one. Saints are not a losing organization. They are not a fire sale type of organization either. While they have gotten rid of players before somebody like Cam Jordan, their premier pass, Russia. No, they're not getting rid of him. I wouldn't mind if they did to Ravens, but yeah, it wouldn't happen. All right, and he said, I think if we offer the right deal, we could potentially get Joey Bosa. Nah, he just signed, he just signed his extension this year. So yeah, he ain't going nowhere. These are probably unlikely, but under the costa, anything is possible. He said, sorry for the length of hashtag team keep it clean and go Ravens. Appreciate it, Gary. Oh wow, this next question came from a boy, Josh Hoffman. This is a short version of any of his question from subscribers. Cause his question from subscribers, they are never this short. This was a crazy one. He said, anyway, now that Lamar Jackson said the Chiefs are Ravens, kryptonite, I'm worried. You say Jinx's aren't real. Nah, yeah, they ain't. And he said, but psyching yourself out is. Oh, that's true. And we know him and some of the other guys let in outside noise. So next time they play the Chiefs, Lamar can hear 20 million times how according to him, the Chiefs are his kryptonite. Yeah, we can see somebody using his own words against him. He said, so for me, this is the next choke job getting set up. And like last year after the Bills game, I'm worried they'll start with the Jitters and stupid play calling when they get psyched out in the playoffs because like the Chiefs, O and two playoffs O and two. So they'll be jinxed. I mean psyched out. How do you like our chances? And by that, I mean, do you trust hardball to undo this mental knot that they're in? I guess it makes me sad because there's literally nothing that can happen pre-playoffs to make me feel better. What about you? And thank you as always. And congrats again to my guy, Josh. Him and his wife just had their baby. Yeah, you write about that. And we talked about it a lot before too that yeah, anything that the Ravens do in the regular season, it'll be cool. It'll be nice. I guess some nice wins, get some nice games. That'll be cool. But nobody gonna really be worried about it until post-season. And I mean, even now, like a lot of us, we have been worried about play calling and stuff with the Ravens being three and one. It's kind of scary when you think about it. It's like the Ravens, they won 75% of their first four games. They won three out of their first four games. But a lot of Ravens fans are concerned with their play calling. So it's like, it depends on how you look at it. You can look at it like, oh man, their play calling has just been atrocious. Even though they're winning, that play calling, oh, what is going on with it? Or you can look at it like, hey, Ravens play calling, it's been a little weird. But at the same time, they've won three out of their four games. So just imagine if that play calling and that execution, if everything gets on point, just imagine how good this team can be. But yeah, still at the end of the day, none of that is gonna matter until we see what they do in the playoffs when it's gonna go home time. Do I trust Harbaugh in company? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know because we've seen the last two playoffs and the coaching has just been some of the worst that I've ever seen. It has been the worst that I've ever seen. And then with, but what I'm hoping is that right now, what I'm hoping is that what these first four games have been has been them missing the preseason. I hope that that's it. And I hope now, okay, you got your four preseason games out the way. And now you can start rolling. Now you can start getting better, more consistent, doing some smarter stuff and just get things going a lot better than what you did in the first four games. And again, they won three out of the four, so that's great. And hopefully they're getting their bad coaching out all in the regular season. They're getting it all out, whatever tricks you're trying, whatever special things you wanna try out, you get it out during the regular season because playoff time, that goofy stuff, it ain't gonna cut it. It is not going to cut it at all. So you best get it out now. Hopefully they got it out now. And as far as the mental part with the Chiefs, I just hope that, I hope they're past that. I really do. But yeah, like you said, people are gonna bring that up. If the Ravens get to the playoffs, I expect them to get to the playoffs, if they play the Chiefs and I expect them to, that is going to come up a lot. It's gonna come up a lot. And then of course, the narrative, which I mean, hey, whoever you wanna blame the losses on, whatever, whoever you wanna call out, it don't even matter because the narrative is true. Ravens are 0-2 in the playoffs under Le Mans. They are 0-2 in the playoffs. They have not won a playoff game. Like I said, regardless of who's fault it is, we got 0-2, they lost. So with that being said, only way for them to change that narrative is to, I think they really wanna Super Bowl. Straight up, man. I think to win a, I don't even think winning a playoff game, it would just adjust the narrative slightly. Cause say for instance, they went to the playoffs and they won one playoff game and then they lost the next one. Regardless of why they lost, regardless of if it was coaching or it was Le Mans, it was defense, it was whatever. Regardless of how they lost, if they won a playoff game and then lost the next one, then instead of it being 0-2 in the playoffs, people say, oh, the Ravens, 1-3 in the playoffs under Le Mans Jackson. He's won 25% of his playoff games. He's won in 3. So the narrative, it wouldn't be the same. It would just be slightly adjusted. That's why I say, only way to really get rid of that narrative, they have to win a Super Bowl. They have to. They have to. That's it. Anything else? Then again, anything else would just slightly change the narrative. Even if they won two playoff games. Oh, okay, they finally won a playoff game, but they can't win the big one. When all the pressure is on the line, when the heaviest pressure is on the line, they still can't do it. They taking baby steps. Yeah, okay, they want to playoff game or two. That's cool. But when AFC Championship game and you lost or Super Bowl game you got there and you lost, oh man, yeah, these Ravens, they can't handle the pressure. They can't do it. So again, the way that I feel like they can really change that narrative, or really get rid of the narrative, only way is winning a Super Bowl. Because until then, then it's always gonna be something. And my guy, Josh, he also had another question. And he said, here's my post-chiefs game theory. Wow, this one actually wasn't that long either. Oh, wow. He said, I guess, see, being a dad will change some things about you, man. But I think this game, this actually happened before they had the baby. Anyway, so his post, maybe he was thinking, maybe he like already thinking like a dad and being like direct, because you know the moms, they be like, oh, well, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. But then the dads be like, boom, that's it. So, Josh, these are daddy questions from subscribers. Anyway, he said Joe Flacco was like ice. So the playoffs could not rattle this man. But he was too calm and didn't get up for the regular season and didn't play his best all the time. That is Joe Flacco in a nutshell because, yeah, regular season Joe Flacco was like that. Playoff Joe Flacco after a little while because he didn't, excuse me, he didn't start off like that. Early playoff Joe Flacco was ugly. He really had to do much. All he had to do was be there. That's all he had to do. All he had to do was be there. Defense will take care a lot of stuff. Running game will take care a lot of stuff. All he had to do was be there. But as time went on, Joe Flacco was money in the playoffs. And when it got to that point where, excuse me, when it got to that point where Ravens, if they lost a playoff game, it was never Joe Flacco's fault? Yeah, he was money then. But anyway, it said Lamar is like fire so he just beast all the time. But I can't pretend anymore. So far in his career, it looks like he and his past catchers get this jumpy rattle kind of vibe like they're boiling over. Not every game now. They handle the Patriots, but in the playoffs and now that this chief's game, they played rattle. It's that simple. My question is, could we get some Joe Flacco ice blood for these guys so they don't get unsettled in these huge games? Will it come with some maturity? And shout out to Duvenay, we may finally have a return main. And I'm glad they lost exactly that way if we had to lose because otherwise, I'd wonder if they aren't good enough. Now I know it's about mental errors. And for that, at the end, I do blame hardball in part, but that's a topic for another day. That's the offense. The past rush just isn't good enough, LOL. Thank you as always. Yeah, they eat that mental part of the game, man. The mental part of the game is just as important as the physical, if not even more important because if you check out mentally, then you're done. You're done. That's a wrap. If you're not prepared mentally, you can't hang mentally, you're done. You can go ahead and pack your stuff. You might as well leave. You can go. You can go. Might as well forfeit. And Ravens, if they gonna do anything, man, if they are gonna do anything, they have got to be able to withhold the mental stuff. They gotta be able to battle through all of that and just stop letting it impact them so much. Y'all on a level play, I thought that, okay, maybe Ravens, they playing at the crib, okay, things will be a little bit different, even though Chiefs did get a little bit of home cooking at the crib. It wasn't too much. It did kill momentum a couple of times, especially the tripping call, but anyway. Then I think it was a horse collar call too, anyway. But Mark Ingram got one too, toward the end, but they didn't convert that drive into a touchdown, but regardless, they just gotta get over that, man. They gotta get over that and realize like, oh, we can run with the Chiefs, because they can, they can do it. They just, they don't make good decisions with their decision. They don't make good decisions when they play in the Chiefs. It's like you just, it seems like they just scared, they intimidated, so they gotta get over that. Next question came from Tanja. She said, they ain't great when it's Tanja again. Hope all this will. Oh yeah, things are great. When the Ravens said that they were gonna keep off four running backs, I thought we were gonna use them. They bring in the running back for one play, then it's off to the sideline. The Chiefs were getting tired. I could see it on their faces. And what happens? Gus is out the game and they start throwing the ball. What's the use of having four running backs they just gonna stay in the stable. I envision two backs out at the same time, plus Lamar. By the time you figure out who's taking off, they already up the field. Nope, I have not seen any creativity and much, oh no, I have seen no creativity, much less the need for them. They're barely on the field. JK never got in the game. Everyone uses their rookies right away, but not the Ravens. Duvenay could have been a conversion for Hollywood and some help, I'm sure he could have made an impact in the game. Chiefs would have had someone else to target instead of Hollywood and Andrews. And we still even saying the same thing after the Washington game, even though they won. And lastly, we showed weakness right off the bat when we took a field goal for three points at the beginning of the game. Instead of going for it like we always do, I'm sure the Chiefs said, oh yeah, we got him. I know my point we'll get across because I know Ravens watch your channel. Until next time, I'm out. I had said the same exact thing when not that they should have went for it. On that, the first drive where they were moving the ball, they got all the way down to the red zone and then they just fizzled out and they took a field goal. I said, man, that's a win for the Chiefs. I said, that is a win for the Chiefs because it was. It was because when your defense is giving up all these yards, the offense keep converting and they keep moving the ball down the field. It's like, oh man, come on, we gotta tighten up. And then y'all get a stop on third now. On third and goal. And you force a field goal after giving up all them yards. After giving up that long drive. Oh yeah, that's a win all day. That's a win all day. So that, that wasn't the beginning of the end. And I didn't have a problem with them taking a field goal. You gotta take it. Excuse me, you gotta take your points. But offense just never really got into a rhythm that whole night. And as far as the running backs, I just, yeah, like you said, why are you gonna keep all four if you're not even gonna use them? And I mean, they use the running backs, but they don't get anybody into a rhythm. And I mean, it sucks, but this same, this question came after the Chiefs game, but the same can pretty much be said after the Washington game. Same stuff, but they are using the running backs, but they not really letting one get loose like that, man, because they feeding everybody and trying to keep everybody happy. And that's, that ain't it, man. This question came from Crash and Burn. Said, I hope you're staying safe, appreciate it. Should the Ravens sign Prince of Mukimora as a snooze slot corner? Then he gets signed by somebody. I thought, oh no, I said the Giants were looking at, that was before the season though, I think that was right before the season. Then he gets signed by something, maybe he didn't. Prince of Mukimora, I mean, I don't even feel like secondary is really the issue. I feel like it's more pass rush than anything because secondary just be having a cover for so long. I feel like it's more pass rush then, but that's just me. So I think it was, and then he said, Damon Harrison for defense, well that's snacks. He just got signed yesterday. Oh, yesterday is when I'm recording this video. He got signed to the Seahawks practice squad. I know my boys, they came with, he would appreciate that. Oh, for offense, just Antonio Brown or Dez Bryant. When Antonio Brown, I don't think anybody's gonna sign him. He would do wonders for this team. Dez Bryant, if he's out of shape, he would be in shape. He couldn't hurt, he really couldn't hurt. But it would just all depend on if, because he ain't gonna be the same day as Bryant of Old. So it would just all depend on how much defense has really respected him. If he could get that respect back, he could help. But if not, then no. Next question came from my boy, Zachary. Hey, he said, I've been a fan of the Raven since I was six years old and we was spoiled for a long time with Ray Lewis. Then we had something great with CJ Mosley. But my question is, do you think Patrick Queen could be better than CJ Mosley and potentially up there with Ray Lewis? It feels like he's always right around the tackles, getting tackles in the backfield and just always in a great position. Thank you and I hope you and your family are well during this unprecedented time that we are in. I appreciate it, Zach. I think it's a little too early for that, but at the same time, it's a completely different era. And I think we're never really going to be able to truly compare a Ray Lewis and a Patrick Queen. With Ray Lewis, he played in a much tougher era of football than Patrick Queen did. And the transition began toward the end of Ray's career to where the NFL started getting a little bit softer here and there. But in Ray Lewis, especially in Ray Lewis' earlier years, defenses could be defenses. They could really be defenses they could hit. They could be more physical as far as corners with receivers and whatnot. Things were much different back then. So it's really hard to compare a Ray Lewis and the defense that he played in or just his play style to a Patrick Queen and his play style. And even CJ Mosley, obviously right in the middle of both of them, but it's hard to compare because of the errors of football. Football is obviously much different. But as far as him just being an excellent inside linebacker, like when they drafted Patrick Queen, I wasn't the most thrilled. But after I watched his tape, I was more excited about it. But one thing that never like even crossed my mind was, oh man, Ravens, they drafted the inside lineback in the first round. Or they drafted a lineback in the first round. Oh man, he ain't gonna work out. That never once crossed my mind ever because of Ray Lewis, because of CJ Mosley, because of Tyrell Suggs. Like if they picking a linebacker early, besides the second round with Arthur Brown, I don't know what happened with him. But if they picking a lineback in the first round, they're gonna hit on it, man. They're gonna hit on it. That's one thing that they know in the first round, linebackers, they got it. They are going to hit on it. So there were never any doubts in my mind that Patrick Queen wasn't gonna work out and he wasn't gonna do well here. But I just think it's not, I don't think we can really compare if he's gonna be better or as good as Ray Lewis or better than CJ. Well, CJ Mosley, that would be a little better comparison because CJ Mosley is still playing in this era as well. And he didn't really play too far off. I mean, this is, what is this, his fifth or sixth year? I think it's his sixth year. I know he opted out, so he's not playing this season. But, and it's crazy, because he had just got healthy too. He had literally, I remember seeing a report that CJ Mosley, all right, he got cleared for football activities. Then like not even a week later, CJ Mosley opted out for the season. I was like, oh, man. And then Peanut, I forgot the Jets got Peanut because he'd been hurt. So he was out the first, he's out the first four to five weeks. I mean, we in week five now, so we'll see what happens with him. Man. Denver Shaw, Perryman over there for you. Anyway, we going on a tangent. So I think he'll be able to be compared to CJ Mosley. CJ Mosley was really good. He's really good. He didn't have that speed, but he could play, man. CJ Mosley could play ball, he's smart. CJ Mosley was good, really good. And gave us somebody an inside line. See the thing with CJ Mosley, and a lot of people got on him for his cover skills. But with CJ Mosley, he made us, he made the transition from Ray Lewis easy. He was not a Ray Lewis, but he didn't need to be Ray Lewis. He was CJ Mosley. And he made the transition from Ray easier. Well, the transition, it was been a pretty smooth process actually. From Ed Reid, nah, we still working on that. Still working on that. But Ray Lewis has been easier because it went from Ray Lewis, went to Daryl Smith, CJ Mosley, then Josh Bynes and LJ Ford temporarily, and then Patrick Queen. So it's been life after Ray Lewis hasn't been bad. Life after Ed Reid has a different story, but again, the jury's still out. We're still waiting on that guy at free safety. And again, that's why when people ask, who I think is the best Raven? Best Raven player? That's Ed Reid all day. Because his, and it's close, if you just say just Raven period, then of course it's gonna be Ray Lewis because he was the heart of the Ravens, da, da, da, da. But talking about player, and Ray Lewis was great now. That's why I say it's close, but you gotta give it to Ed Reid. Because I mean, what they did on the field was amazing, their impact on the field was amazing. For both of them, they both made millions of plays. But when you look at replacing them, when you look at after they've gotten off the field and somebody gotta step up in their place, we still ain't even been able to really find anybody to take Ed Reid's place. And I'm saying that anybody should be Ed Reid, but we still haven't really been able to find like that guy at free safety. Terrence Brooks, I think he could have been something special, but they got rid of him. Eric Guetto, he was Eric Guetto, but he wasn't Ed Reid. Earl Thomas, he's got a future Hall of Fame and the only guy that had a lot of people compared to Ed Reid, but obviously didn't work out for them there. But that's a good question, man. So as far as back to your question about Patrick Queen and CJ Moseley and Ray Lewis, like I said, with the Ray Lewis, we can't compare them to that, but with CJ Moseley, we just gotta see the consistency. I mean, he's been all over the field, making a lot of tackles. He's leading the team in tackles. He's fast, he gotta work on his coverage too now. So maybe he is a different version of CJ Moseley. Now he's gonna be good though. I like him a lot. Next question came from Coyzo. He said, should the Ravens defense stop the Blitz? And I say that because they blitz against the Chiefs and their Y receivers get open. God bless your family. Appreciate it, Coyzo. I just, with Winky, he's in a tough position because, again, the past rush is not getting there alone with three or four. So that's why they send the extra people because they don't want the quarterback to just be sitting there forever when they rush for. So should he absolutely stop the Blitz, stop Blitzing? I think it all just depends on the situation. Everything depends on the situation. There's no, like, right or wrong. And I don't think, okay, Ravens just stop Blitzing. Stop Blitzing. Cause then people may see that and take advantage and then they start running the ball more. But if they just keep Blitzing and sending everybody, then people are gonna be open. So they just have to get schematically better at Blitzing and hopefully the past rush can get better even though we've been having that conversation for the past year and change. But we'll see. And the last question on this episode, the question from subscribers came from a boy Slice. Shout out to Slice and Rice, man. Shout out, I know y'all, y'all watched their YouTube channel already, man. They from Be More. They live up there. Shout out to them, they just had a baby. But anyway, he said, just wanted to say thank you for helping fill time between Ravens games and with your dope content. I always look forward to your perspective on the Ravens and I actually learned a lot from your videos. I appreciate it, man. Thank you. Thank you for even watching. I mean, my wife, we'd be watching y'all too. Y'all doing all these games, eating all this food. I think one of our favorite videos that y'all did was when your wife, she was trying Black, well, when she was trying, not Southern food, she was trying, she was trying Black food, man. Straight up, she was trying Black food. And she was eating like, I think, whoa, what was it, a sweet potato pie? And she had, your mom had made something. Your mom had made a bunch of stuff for, I think she tried collard greens. Obviously, that fried chicken, I could tell that fried chicken was hitting me. But anyway, we appreciate y'all too, man. He said, my question is, when are we going to see, oh, when are we gonna see you do the Ray Lewis Celebration Dance? This too, man. Keep it clean, brother, and keep the content coming. Appreciate it, man. You know, that's funny. I did it at me and my wife's wedding. In that video, it's on the old channel. That may upload it to this channel just for fun, but I had did it on there. And I had, yeah, we got married. Cause I remember when we was like, planning the wedding and going through like the rehearsals and stuff, I was thinking about it. I don't think I told anybody that I was gonna do it, but I was sure thinking about it. And the day the wedding came, and we was up there. We set off vows and all that stuff. Then the lady was like, all right, we now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Engraven. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. And I was happy and all that. Then I hit it. I did it. So yeah, I may bring back that, that oldie and bring it on this channel too, man. But, nah, I appreciate you for real, man. See my boy, he like had him made it. Had him made it, right in gravy. Shot out that gravy.
