You can send me an email to team keep it clean at gmail.com for the patrons You can send it directly on patreon you want to become a team keep it clean patron You go to patreon.com slash engraving vids and if not, you ain't got to go there. That's fine, too Team keep it clean. I love you We got some good questions some really good questions like we always do so sit back relax and Enjoy the show first question came from a guy Howard He said what's happening in graven to say the Ravens offensive struggles are alarming will be an understatement The last month and a half the offense has been terrible and I agree with the points you're making about it being a combination of issues The offensive line is terrible the play calling the suspect the overall system as a whole is suspect to me The Marjax is playing hero ball too much looking for the big play and it's killing us with the turnovers and constant sex He's taking the Ravens need to fix these issues in a hurry because I'm starting to notice a lot of frustration on the sidelines It can become a divided locker room quick or division between players and coaches as a true Ravens fan I don't want that to happen, but I have to call it how I see it Just curious to know your thoughts on my assessments. Oh, that would be some scary stuff right there And that's you don't you don't want those problems at all a divided locker room divide between coaches and players That's never good because when that happens, that's when egos really take over next question came from my guy yourself He said a engraving before I start just wanted to say thank you for everything you do in all the content You put out for Raven's flock I was listening to your live stream after the loss to Pittsburgh And I think you're not given a fair assessment to the choice to go for the two-point conversion You seem to be saying that even if you don't go for the win You still have a 50-50 shot of not having to put a defense on the field that doesn't have Marlowe Tavon MP Elliott and Chris Westry while that is true I still think you're completely missing the point the question Hobbes had to ask himself Wasn't whether he should trust Lamar or banged up defense the question He had to ask himself was does Gero have a two-point conversion play that gives us a better a better than 50-50 shot and winning this game Well with the two-point conversion It is a 50-50 shot because you either get it or you don't that's it Because two point ain't no first downs on a two-point conversion and no first time that is is all or nothing And if you get all okay, you got it. You got the right 50% and if you don't get it Anyway, he said also he felt there was less than a 50-50 shot if they would lose the coin toss He felt that they did and I believe he was vindicated by how the play played out regardless of who's more at fault I think Lamar and Andrews would probably hit that play eight out of ten or nine out of ten times I believe Hobbes believed that too and he's probably seen that play running practice a ton of times So yes, you're correct that they could have gone for the point after touchdown and still not have put their defense on the field But if you agree with me that Lamar and Andrews connect on that play eight to ten or nine to ten at times Why would you rather a 50-50 chance over an 80-20 or 90-10 chance? It's still a 50-50 though It's still a 50-50 because like I said, they either they could they could have connected on the ball and Mark Andrews could have got tackled So if that was it's 50-50 regardless They got a shot to either convert or they don't and ain't no second chances There are no second chances with that So that's it He said if you disagree and think that the chance of playing working out is less than or equal to a 50 percent There's nothing I can do to convince you and by the way if you're gonna say that any play has a 50-50 chance of working out I'll also completely disagree with you the end result could be 50 50 You either get the conversion or you don't but they are in this possibility of what would happen to lead you to that point again Thanks for everything Appreciate you man. Next question came from my guy Bacari. He said aint graven. Hope all as well with you and your fam I was watching that stinker of a game against Pittsburgh and was sitting there after the game ended ticked off at Howard ended Sitting there just upset and thinking about Romans play calling Why does it always seem like he can call the correct place only when it comes down to our last drive? And we are down and need to go down and score. He seems to never be able to get the right play call throughout the rest of the game Consistently, I hope you can enlighten me and anyone else who has the same problem with Romans play calling I I don't know what it is. It's it's it's it's weird and we know what the situation is with all the injuries and stuff But still I what the injuries I can't like completely put it on injuries because It's offensive line been injured for a long time Ain't like the injuries are new So they got to do a better job of adjusting to what the situation is. This is something that we had just got on Wink about because he was not doing it. He was he was playing with Backup guys like they were starters and they're not They're not He wasn't adjusting to the situation, but then over the past couple weeks. He has been Jiro got to get on that too. Next question came from ta 804 He said a engraving hope you and the famine rest of team keeping clean have been well As I'm watching your video about babing and getting a new agent and thinking about Humphrey being potentially lost for the season Something came across my mind. Do you think that Harbour and Roman will have to open up the playbook in order to make up for the Injuries on the back end of our defense. I think we can we can do that if they spread them out more They don't have a choice They have to open up that often. They have no choice Because this season is riding on the offense. So Harbour and Roman they gotta get on that will Roman Super Bowl Bust next question came from my guy DJ bill. He said Super Bowl or bust and offensive issues I don't think I've ever seen a team be referred to as a Super Bowl or bust team with so many injuries on the roster But here we are the 2021 Baltimore Ravens The reason I say that is because all of the other teams with this many injuries Didn't even make the playoffs much less have pressure on them to win a championship 2021 Giants Broncos and Titans 2020 49ers Eagles Jags Patriots, and then 2019 Jets Dolphins Jags and Lions to name a few Why are the Ravens under so much pressure in a season where any other team will probably get a pass? And is it because Lamar is simply on a different level in terms of expectations? Boom. You already answered your own question That's it You already answered your own question And then It's it's also because of the Ravens too because they are in this situation right now They're eight and four had they been four and eight Then there would not be any pressure on them at all It wouldn't be had that season been uh overall ready Then the pressure wouldn't be there because the season would have been over So I was like, all right. Well Ravens ain't making a playoffs. Okay, whatever But since they're in this situation and of course they have Lamar Jackson You know how media feels about Lamar Jackson Then that's why there's so much pressure on them I he said with the offense Of course Lamar is the blame for turnovers and pressing too much But what do we expect him to do? No one ever mentions the fact that from week two to week 14 Devonte Freeman has 376 yards on the ground while the Tavius Murray has only 78 More yards than Tyson Williams. So when the statement is made we should go back to the running game What running game are we referring to but my real question is what is the fix for this offense giving what we know now Greg Roman is not going anywhere at least for the year And should we really trust Roman to you know forge a new identity open up the vault or have anything up his sleeve He said my quick thought use every weapon you have teams aren't scared of the running game because well Why should they be besides Lamar? Those yards after catch play screens or check downs the play where Hollywood runs backwards Decoy plays are what we need but as we said, can we really trust Roman to take that next step? um I don't think we can we just got to hope that he does I know a lot of people's expectations are pretty low when it comes to that um But all they can really do all we can really do as fans is just hope that they just something just drastically changes Maybe they do a 2012 cam camera type of situation Next question came from my guy d3. He said good morning. Graven and team keeping clean Hope all is well with you and yours doing this emotional roller coaster of a season I got a few questions and thoughts. I wanted to get your opinion on First while considered a passing league the Patriots bludgeoned the bills with 37 straight running plays In windy conditions that secured a road victory last night My question to you is how likely is it that the Ravens can regain their old identity back of smash mouth football And run the ball like we did last year offensive line That's that's it offensive line That's the only way that they're gonna even come close to running the ball how they did before offensive line He said we all complained about the balance in the passing in the run game But us passing so much has exposed Lamar to a league lead of league league Amount amount of sex offense of line again um At times I wish we didn't trade the number one Russian offense moniker In the 32nd passing offense for the stats that we have now Lamar is too valuable to sustain all the hits he's been getting this year Albeit some of it is because he's holding on to the ball too long. It's reminiscent of the second 2020 game against Pittsburgh The second one And he thought I thought he missed the second one because the first one was uh Was the uh the game way through the pick six to approach a um To well high smith end up pick six in it, but um No, it's plane. It's plane. It's plane He ended up doing the pick six and I thought the second game was the Colby game Was it the other way around? Anyway, it don't even matter. Um, it was reminiscent of the second 2020 game against Pittsburgh early in the season Against him, uh, he held on to the ball too long with strip sack in the red zone After sitting out of game through the covet He came back and was making his reads quicker and then taken off to gain yards Yeah, once he came back healthy, he came he came back. He was he was killing. Anyway I just feel like our motto on offense should be move the chains at all costs instead of constantly looking for the big play I agree That way all of our receivers can shine with the run setting of the pass and 10 yard increments Let our linemen gain confidence in just going after defenders while getting the plays in faster So lemar can read the defense before the snap True There wasn't a problem when huntley started. So why can't we get the plays in faster for lemar? Hmm. So maybe it's lemar. It's not getting the plays in fast enough I say lastly with an offense that is grinding it out with punishing runs our defense can rest Yes, and they need it That is what got us over when lemar got his first start in 2018 And so many other games in addition to that too We can't just abandon the run if it gets stopped a few times Do you think edc will do a surprise signing to add more depth to the db room? Outside of the ones that he just signed to the practice squad He can't really do any surprises because I mean, you know, oh man, who's this hot free agent that's out there on the market right? No, it's week 14. So anybody who you signed. I don't think we any of us any of us will be surprised Because draven's they need bodies He said, thank you for your opinion on this and as a fan We all look forward to your takes on these glaring issues that we have stay blessed and shout out to pookie Carter And your wife bro, appreciate you man. All right next question came from my guy mackai and yes different camera to backup camera because The other one was dying because we did so many questions from subscribers. Anyway, he said, hello engraving Your defense gives up 17 points in the fourth quarter and that's with malin humphrey You also have lemar jackson I would 10 for 10 take lemar converting two yards over your defense without humphrey That just gave up 17 points in one quarter keep up the great work I appreciate it. I I still didn't agree with the call, but that's cool Media talking blames next question came from my guy manual. Well, he said, what's up? Shout out from mexico I know at this point many of us raven's fans are fed up with the media and truly so because they take out of context What is happening on the field and within the team with all the injuries? We have no wonder why we are not this close to be Hospital on a regular schedule. Hello. Hell, but hear me out What would the media say about us making the playoffs and winning our first game the hospital with the hospital We are carrying right now. I know they will say it's all coaching But I will credit lemar more for being the one that helps us on the field Well, it would all depend on how everything went down and hopefully we get to see what that scenario is like My second question to you and team keeping clean is what do we do for next year as a whole organization? Regarding coaching players and also how to address fans and their concerns with the teams It seems to me that the blame is is to share throughout the team But how much blame does each part carry that's to be determined stay safe until team keeping clean The night is dark is just before the dawn we will come out of this with our head held high Um, it's it's it's too early. You got to see how the season plays out Before you really address all that offseason stuff. That's why it's offseason stuff um, but they certainly uh, just need to No passes I would say no passes me No passes. Um, yeah, there have been injuries that they sure have been but they need to For next season And you still got to get through this season, but they need to hit the ground running and they need to come out Ready on five. They just need to come out right And the the the coach needs to be right the personnel, of course and again with the injuries is tough But still they're still even with the the injuries and stuff. They're still been this lack They have been this lack So they cannot afford to have this lack and especially when the guys get healthy because you don't want it to be to where Since guys are just such great players that they cover up defensive deficiencies with your scheme You don't want that you want the scheme to make these good players even better and put them in even better positions So that's just me next question came from my god Clarence He said Lamar's problem is the offensive line Lamar doesn't know when it is good once the ball snap because the old line is messed up People are people and we can't change them to be successful if it ain't in them to be successful I Am very confused on that one You got to elaborate next question came from my god Naim He said first off wanted to start this off by saying how cool it has been to see how much you and this channel have evolved over the years Oh, I ain't involved at all. I'm same old annoying dude as always But anyway, uh, he said been watching since the car videos and most definitely been awesome to see this channel Where it is now now for the question with the afc conference being so wide open It's definitely been tough for me and probably the rest of us to predict the future when it comes to the playoffs As the season is nearing its end. We are beginning to see exactly which teams are for real and which aren't I don't think we are not an afc I don't think we are it's it's still looking wide open to me. I know patreons. They've been on his hot streak chiefs they've been coming back But I No, it's still wide open to me Anyway, he said with that being said what two to three teams would you not want to see in the post season Um, which two to three teams would I not want to see? Well, uh these ravens they um I feel like they can be their own biggest their own worst enemy Uh, so I would not want to see the bad version of the ravens these slow offensive start version of the ravens The defense following the par version of the ravens in the playoffs I would want to see the fast offense get enough to a fast start score and touchdowns instead of field goals Uh defense hold that's the team that I would want to see but as far as other teams um Really? Whoever man, I like if a team is in the playoffs and they're a playoff team So I don't feel like there's a team all ravens just they can't play them All ravens came at you with their all ravens just absolutely should not play that I just feel like okay It's playoffs. So you're gonna have to match up. Is this the best of the best? Even though they added another team to the play up, but still this is the best of the best So it ain't no running from nobody next question came from my guy lanzo He said hope it all is well with you and the family quick question Why isn't duvley use how landry uh woodhead and others are being used woodhead danny woodhead? Who did? Uh, yeah, I think he can be used more like that because he has hands and is a strong runner I hope all is well uh from my son and all have a good one. They appreciate you lanzo now as far as the javis landry Javis they they got javis landry throwing passes. I mean if duvin they got a arm. I mean, it wasn't mine or whatever, but um He we see him being incorporated more and more So let's hope that continues and then not only that it continues that he's incorporated more and more But the success of it Improves and continues playoffs next question came from my boy dylan He said that ain't great when the team keep it clean hope all is well Been a while since I said anything but I have some thoughts Since the dolphins game has definitely been interesting with the play of the team that includes lamar coaching staff and injuries There's two things I want to mention everyone can complain about lamar's playoff late and I love him But it hasn't been pretty. No, it hasn't been Uh in saying that does anybody recall or remember when lamar has called an audible Does lamar have control on what he sees or is he being restricted by the play calling? Um, I do I do think lamar is restricted. I think he might be limited on what audibles he can do I'm not 100% sure about that But in the in the dolphins game, he did call for a lot of those screens that they were doing Um, so that that that was him a lot of it was him So he can't call some audibles, but I'm not I'm not sure how much freedom Is given to lamar jackson as a quarterback And he said also in terms of personnel our defensive line outside of a way seems to be names past their primes put together for not much production Well, class can't but he's been doing pretty good, but he that dude is paid a lot of money But anyway on the offensive side while it's not household names We actually have some weapons not being used utilized properly Andrews hollywood bateman duvenay walkins even pat ricard gets more passes throwing him the most receivers The fact that we can't put together schemes to utilize the talent we have is concerning Oh, that's scary when you put it like that to be honest while lamar has to make plays for us I do believe we are seeing the end of greg roman and while I don't want people to lose their jobs The talent we have finally on offense needs to have better production I agree 1,000 about that part One last note if we make the playoffs, I don't want a home game have us be a wild card Let us be the walking wounded give them all the ability to go out there and try to make something happen Because I don't think most teams will want to play us In a one and done situation because this season lamar has handled pressure very well in clutch situations And drives the coach vikings chiefs browns games like to get your thoughts all the best Hey, so this was a really good question. I love the end Because that is the ultimate Clutch situation that's the ultimate pressure situation. It's playoffs because it if you lose, that's it If you lose, you're done No, oh, we got to come back and adjust next. No That's it And lamar and this team they've handled that for the most part this year pretty well Whether it's been in overtime whether it's been them being down or they need to come back Whatever need whatever the need be They've handled it pretty well So In the playoffs again, that's ultimate pressure So ravens have been battle tested. So hopefully in the playoffs They will they get another chance to be battle tested in the playoffs too next question came from my boy droid 209 He said uncle graven. Oh man, he made me sound a little older than I am But that's all good. He said whole family as well My guy a couple of random questions most of the questions are random. He said what What what two stages do you think would fit our skin honey badger tyron matthew minkoffice patrick? Minkoffice patrick would be amazing. Oh my goodness Harrison smith Oh, he saw he got a nice sack on rothas burger tonight Well, when i'm recording this when you see this who knows what in a thursday night game He got a real nice sack on rothas burger Uh, mica hide. Hmm. I think he's on the bills Uh, I feel like minkoffice patrick would be a great fit because minkoffice patrick. He is very physical Um, and he he could play corner and you know wink wink is like a the more you could do What he said what you you you could play corner Well, you used to play corner before but you're a corner and you were safety. All right. I'm blitzing you, baby How fast can you run? How fast can you get to that quarterback? So I think minkoff saying what honey badgers to he he's also uh been a decent blitzer as well So and then it's oh man, why do I have to look at a safety as a blitzer? Well, that's just because of the scheme. So I think those first two for sure But definitely minkoffice patrick because he has that physicality and he's just Not necessarily a ball hawk But he he got good ball skills, man. He got real good ball skills. So yeah And he said, who would you go after for defensive end if camo does decide to retire? Or would you draft the defensive end or and so who would you draft? I don't watch college at all I don't start paying attention to these college names until it's right before draft time Then I start watching them a little bit then but I don't watch college at all. So I couldn't tell you who right now um, but I would uh It would all depend on who was available in free agency And but I would also draft somebody too to sort of just have somebody waiting in the wings and probably sign somebody in free agency as more of a Not even necessarily a safe pick but sort of a safe uh pick And he said one more question. I promise you mentioned that you weren't a fan of fantasy football a couple of weeks ago And I meant to ask why this is my first year playing and I find myself not liking it Makes me a little bit more irritated with the Ravens. Well, mainly Lamar at this point in fantasy. Thanks again. That's why That's why because for me I get so caught up in the the real game that I would forget to edit my lineups And I just I wouldn't care about it now But another reason why I don't like it is because it takes away from the game because people will be Oh, man. Well, why isn't this player scoring more points for me, man? It gets so upset with that they get upset with these players for not doing more when it's hard It's hard for these players on weekend week out to do so much And it like I said, I just feel like it it takes so much away from the game Anyway, his next question. He said, oh my uh, okay my email just decided. Hey, you know what? I want to shut down All right, here we go. Now his next question He said my patience is thin. Now brother hope fam is doing amazing and blessed. Look what has to be fixed coaching O-line receivers Lamar Am I the only one that thinks Lamar is holding on to the ball way too long? I know I should be happy with the eight and four record at number one in our division But like I keep saying that can change any given sunday and at this point it's up in the air I would defend my and our team till the end of time But that two point conversion wasn't it and I can't defend that I would rather go into overtime and lose Then looking stupid going for two and fail. Sorry for the long run. I'm just heated Oh, very interesting why you put that Um But what what has to be fixed a little bit of everything a little bit everything that you mentioned you said coaching Yes, uh, O-line. Yes receivers Uh I feel like that the receivers would be more on coaching Lamar. Yes. So all of that has to be fixed So hopefully your patience can go from being thin to being a lot thicker next question came from my guy, mr Yuri He said obviously the offense is in a slump and we've all been keen to point that out But what can we do as an offense to pick it up and have teams back on edge Respecting our run game and catching teams off guard We'll play actions and screens. I think that would be getting different guys involved that aren't normally involved Sammy Watkins giving him more a piece of the pie or a sharp Bateman giving him more a piece of the pie and I know hollywood He's been a little quiet over the past couple of games Um, but I'd say getting other guys involved and and getting that's the duvenay a little more in the passing game too Not just to end around not to just a jet sleeps and all that but in the passing game as well So I would say that could to just really mix it up. He said personally, I would like to see some more hurry up offense Well that too, uh, Greg Roman vault plays in some energy We've been playing lethargic weekend and week out and it seems like we have to be down points Or for it to be in the fourth quarter for us to start playing with some urgency Hopefully not only the stakes being higher, but these big time games against our division rivals and NFC contenders. Give us some fire Yes, we hope so next question came from my guy Philip. He said hey, man Like the channel been watching for a good minute. I appreciate your feel He said I honestly believe it's time to let Greg Roman or go or demote him to run game coordinated You know, that dude ain't taking no remote. No demotion. Uh, he said I honestly been saying this since last year He's a great run coordinator, but he's not really good with balancing out the run with the pass as an offensive coordinator He seems like he's stuck on wanting to do things his way instead of adjusting and playing to the strengths of his players We were all complaining about getting receivers last year and we have plenty of them now We sure do seven to be exact. My question is why isn't Greg Roman utilizing them correctly and playing them to their strengths Head coach Bill Belichick of the Patriots and Josh McDaniels would find a way to utilize all of our receivers We have and make it look like number ones Offend or make it look like the number one offense even the terrible offensive line We even with the terrible offensive line that we have Um, that that's that's all they another more coaching man. Um, that ain't nothing but coaching. Uh And yeah, you know Bella checking them. They yeah, they find a way Like they find a way with all these random receivers and they certainly find a way when they had really good receivers to when they had Randy Moss. Oh wasn't even fair Wes Welker they had Dante Starworth. They're like they Yeah, they find a way Well, if you stay on the team, then they find a way because they had Reggie Wayne They're like, they had ultra single to Chad Johnson. They're like, you know, you're out So when you stay on the team, they will find a way to get it done But yeah, our coaching definitely needs to do that They they definitely need to do that. Um, and I'm hoping like I know it's super late in the season But that's what I say in the previous question. Like get get different guys involved Get different guys involved. It ain't got to be the just the same old same old. That's on coaching That's all the more too, man That's all the more to to get those other guys involved as well So it's not all on coaching Lamar got to do his part too. Next question came from uh leason He said ain't graven. Hope you and the family are well I got two questions relating to the recent showings we've seen from this ravens offense Well, have they really been showing? He said Sammy Watkins looked promising to start the season But since he returned from injury, it seems like he only produces on the last drive of the game Do you think it's time we use Bateman in his position and potentially as a deep threat alongside hollywood Especially after what we've seen in his college highlights. Yes, I do I think Bateman should get a lot more of sammy's playing time Especially since he's gonna be here in the future and Sammy Watkins You don't know if he is or not yet But anyway, he said well Lamar holding on to the ball for way too long without scrambling out of the pocket Went under heavy pressure. Oh, he's starting these scrambles out of the pocket with heavy pressure Well, if he can if he gets an opportunity to uh, but anyway, he said could there be a possibility that he picks his targets before the snap And waits too long for them specifically to get open leading to those sacks. Yes. Uh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes There are some times where Lamar will lock on sometimes he'll even stare somebody down and still throw it to him So again, Lamar is sort of reverting back to like to to not even rookie stuff Because I say he didn't even do that a lot of times his rookie season So he's just he's starting to form some bad habits that They got a break asap. Next question came from my god Jonathan He said engraving engraving and hope all everything is well with you and your fam A question for you is do you think that the offense and offensive coordinator is going to split again? Uh, like they were back in 2020 Uh, after going and watching some highlights from the Steelers game I noticed something the wire receivers are not playing with effort or tenacity It's like they're not getting the ball and they don't block or even try to get open for Lamar If you go look at the third quarter at the 943 mark You'll see how marquise brown literally forgot to play and andrews didn't even attempt to block for Lamar Being a former wire receiver I see that the offense is giving up on greg roman and I believe lamar is frustrated because the play calling is Literally an insult to his game They're not even ready for the plays because I believe greg roman just like lamar is trying to find a big play Instead of allowing the game to let them know When to use the big play sorry for the long message. Thanks for all you do for the ravens news hashtag go ravens That's an interesting way to put it especially from your point of view since you used to play a wide receiver um Effort effort is something that you can't teach effort is something that um It's got to be there and if it's not there then nothing's gonna work Nothing especially in a football game for a football team. Oh boy. If there's no effort No, you might as well go ahead and pack it in for real. So um, I would have to look at that But hopefully uh, if that is the case then they could turn it around But that if if that is the case and there was definitely sound like there would be a disconnect between uh coaches and and players and it's just Something wouldn't be clicking and it would seem like the players may be just tired of it Next question came from my guy rhodale. He said ravens shuffle my guy. What's going on? While since I sent in question, it's been months You know, I'm still locked in though got an upcoming problem that I'm trying to prepare myself for so here We go. Uh-oh Are you ravens nation and team keeper clean ready for one of the biggest overhauls in the last decade? None of this is fact, but me and what I may think might happen So let's talk defense p.s. What I feel may happen Kaleas Campbell gone brandon williams gone jesson houston gone lj fork gone panel McPhee gone jimmy smith gone Sean elliott 50-50 chance. He's gone now that we may have digested that I have a shocking surprise that while I highly doubt it will happen I could see it and he guesses that guy is mp juice man As I said, I doubt it, but I could see a universe. Well, he where he is released While I see us drafting another corner high in the draft I also see us revisiting xavian howard in the off season Oh, that's yeah, you you did say a blockbuster Anyway, you said moving on to the offense semi walk is gone. Let's take this Murray gone Miles Boykin practice squad james broché practice squad If they are going to practice squad, they both getting signed But anyway, bye bye another team. But anyways, I personally think we re-signed devonte freeman Still relatively young and seems to be producing more and more as the season progresses Also, not sure how good our other two backs look coming off of injury. Well three Ready for another shocker while I already highly doubt the previous shocker happens This one I highly highly doubt. However, this is the NFL and we've seen while things happen Gus Edwards while I know what he means when healthy And if we just extended him if I had to pick a shocker, it would be him I could see us trying to trade him to upgrade elsewhere. But again, I doubt it happens That would be something I know some people have brought that up Um, last year last year Oh, that would certainly be some right Gus. Well Yeah, I uh I'd be kind of hard though. You're coming back from injury. Um That that would be very that that would make it that much tougher the fact that he is coming back from injury uh, and ravens like Mmm I could see the devonte freeman though I could see him coming back and them just keeping him at least through preseason As just a uh insurance policy and whatnot and I mean, we've seen how he's done He's getting more and more comfortable. We've seen what he's done with a bad offensive line Ravens revamp and retool this offensive line next year. He could do a lot better He will be another year older now So we've got to keep that in mind too. All right. He said coaching staff. My guy harbs is safe Roman politely demoted. Oh, so that means that would be a little wink wink deal All right, Roman, you got to go but I ain't gonna fire He said wink. He stays strength and conditioning Coordinating staff pack your bags. Thanks my guy and as always take care be safe And for all ravens sports graphics and edits follow revamp ravens on ig. All right, appreciate you Next question came from my guy griff. He said, hey, what's up, man? I was listening to berlin bsa. Shout out to my guys, man I'm afraid and scott those two they they they've been rocking for a long time, man Long time been supporting special shout out to them Uh, he said I was listening to berlin bs and they question why doesn't Lamar audible plays at the line Reminded me that flacco never audible to made adjustments at the line either in his tenor here Wanted to hear your thoughts on why we don't see it from our quarterbacks under the hardball era Is it because they are not comfortable with it? Or is it something the coaching staff just doesn't encourage and wants to stick with the script at all times I feel like we never take advantage of a player or playing off coverage by changing the route to a slant or screen Or picking on a replacement player that's in for injury or to give a starter arrest Oh, man, if um, I know a lot of people said that same thing about flacco I don't know how true it is, but if it is that he just didn't audible and lamar doesn't audible like that um Then that would be the coaching staff that would show the coaching staff that they just they're not letting them That was sure that they're not letting them and almost sort of holding them back And you would hope that's not the case you but that's that's why I would just love I would love to be A fly on the wall. I would love to be in those meetings and just I would love to know like all right What does the mar have leeway to do? What does he have the freedom to do as the quarterback? How much responsibility does he have? What can he do? What can he change? What can he call? What what does he What power does he have? I would love to find that out next question came from my guy Steph easy. He said hey, what's up engraving? What's up with you and the fam wishing you nothing but good energy Am I crazy for thinking this raven's offense is capable of holding the team down? Hey They are they just got to do it. That's it. But anyway, he said now hit me out I am with the fire demote giro by the way I'm sorry. I just can't make excuses on why our passing game can't get on track over multiple seasons of trying Pandemic season last year, but I'm pretty sure he tried and say whatever about injuries But we have first-rounders everywhere with unique talents from lamar andrews bateman hollywood and even sammy was in his day My point is that no way that no one can get open even as crisp as a route runner as rachelle bateman And then some games bateman does have it going you see him on the sideline bizarre Now for someone that showed he was a reliable first-down machine. Yes, that that is crazy to all of us Um, then with hollywood giro has gone back to not activating playoff primetime hollywood It's quite annoying by the way We've seen him before that by week when he was being an actual threat on every play Then lamar versus zero blitz situation I think that is much on scheme as much as on lamar and screen passes are not it But lamar's turnovers are inexcusable can't have that that's true The craziest thing to me is that the uptempo offense seems to uh Seems best to everyone except giro And I don't know if it was a shot or not But hobo said after the stealers game that that's too many sacks on lamar whether he's holding on uh To the ball too long or not and we have to do a better job of that That could have only been pointed to giro and his inability to create an effective short passing game I don't know. What do you think engraving this offense was humming before the buy? I don't know about that if they were humming there was a slow hum like It wasn't no. Hmm. No, it was it was slow. Uh, anyway, uh, they were humming before the buy, uh, then Despite turnovers and offensive line play can we get back to that? Uh, well, can we actually be better because what they were doing before the buy is it wouldn't won't be good enough They won't but yeah, it's it's all about adjusting Find finding ways to get your guys involved and like you said the short passing game is essential It's essential because you have a bad offensive line. They can't block forever. Even a good offensive line can't block forever So that short passing game gots to be incorporated and incorporated fast next question came from my guy url Not url thomas though is his name is url tito, but oh, maybe this is a burner email Anyway, he said a engraving. Hope you and the fam are good and keep the content coming Okay, here we go. The cries from ravens fans have been to replace greg roman, which i can agree with but for different reasons I don't think it's okay calling at all or I don't think it's okay calling at all or need to evolve each time greg roman has started as an offensive coordinator 14 The first two maybe three years have been fantastic than defenses catch up Especially in your division God since they see you twice and they can draft defensive players specifically for your offense That's what I believe is going on that and lamar miss reading defensive coverages and not taking what they're giving him Now my question Hypothetically speaking at the end of the season the ravens move on from greg who outside of the organization Do you think will be a good offensive coordinator and what system tree do you think would fit? For example, a couch and a hand type of offense This is a great question and because he said outside of the organization. Oh man, um Kyle shanahan type of offense that that is an offense that Utilizes their playmakers Obviously with george kiddo. Um, he just we we know Um, they actually still use a fullback. So fullbacks. They they will keep it moving. Um And they're different wide receivers again, debo, samuel We see him and and then we all think oh devon duvenday He could do that same stuff if they just did it the right way um So, yeah, I yeah, Kyle shanahan who else? Um Hmm maybe if Cardinals if they I know they can't get their offensive coordinator because nobody will make no lateral move but if they could get like a cardinals maybe like uh One of the coaches from there. Oh, whether it be a qb coach or wide receiver coach somebody from their uh, their offense Um, because while they have several receivers, but they they get those guys involved They obviously deandre howe hawkins, but they got aj green. He ain't done too much this year But he been getting involved a little bit here and there but ron delmore ron delmore little guy with speed like crazy. They got him involved Kurt like they they get their guys involved and that's a beautiful thing then calamari, of course, he could still take off too So that that's been something that's been nice to see So that that's where I would go to next question came from my boy be more 31 Appreciate you being a patron a brand new patron by the way. He said hey, what's up engraving? Thank you for all the videos you put out day in and day out. I really appreciate everything you do I appreciate you man. He said I just joined the patreon club Okay, I seen the video you put out on the last question from subscribers got me thinking just tell me if i'm wrong Could the presence of a veteran a veteran leadership be missing in lemar's corner We let rg3 and mark ingham go they had wonderful insights on lemar's decision making an issue this year not so much That is such a good question because we like on offense We got sammie walkins but That's it Yeah, that's it. Oh, wow. Oh, I didn't realize that He said I bring this up because he's not in tune with the qb coach and gregg roman I agree a new line of coaches are needed but not the receiver coach or wink and hardball But if something doesn't change, we might not only lose a playoff game But we could lose something much something much more valuable lemar jackson Something else i was thinking about lemar looks like he's dealing with a lot of pressure from all angles for sure From receivers from receivers fans offensive line not blocking coaches, etc My point is depression is real and I feel like lemar is going through it from losing all the stars to this team Which you can hurt your performance and personally look at really an aj brown in this situation as fans We should support lemar and not keep on bashing them for his play. What do you think? Sorry for the long message promise shorter one next time. That's all good. One more juan james is practicing with the team That's some good news. I am out Appreciate you. Um No with lemar. I mean that's fans. That's that's what we do. We get on here. We talk we talk about lemar jacks We talk about everybody though, but and not even bashing him though Who just is is is healthy constructive criticism and and is doing it respectfully like we'll get on in here Oh Lemar sucks. He's terrible. What a terrible play. He shouldn't be in the NFL. He's garbage. No, uh, nobody doing that Shouldn't be doing that about anybody because these are NFL players And if they having a bad game, they they struggling a bit Been a little bit rough for him before a bit But these guys they they the top 1% in the world. Uh, but anyway, um With lemar, I mean, I hope that's not the case. You never know what somebody's going through You you you never know you never know what's going on somebody's personal life So we don't know uh, but he does definitely does have a lot of pressure like you mentioned a whole lot of pressure come from a Whole lot of different places and that could be on both on and off the field like you mentioned so um, hopefully the on field pressure Is able to be dealt with uh by the the the offensive line the coach and staff and everybody else And off field pressure if anything off field is pressuring him to Then that can be dealt with as well because lemar jackson is a he's a household name and It's always somebody talking about always always like that's that's a lot to deal with me It's literally all and it's always it's always you got a lot of good, but you got a lot of bad too always like 24 seven Join your social media you you you turn on the espn or nfl network You just hear so much all the time and that can bother you So hopefully um He he doesn't let that affect him And last question on this episode of question from subscriber came from my guy raven pride and shout out to you for being a patron He said ain't graven. What's going on my brother? Sorry. I missed the last stream I was doing a special trip to canada as you know I'm a truck driver, so I couldn't turn down that mula. I feel you man I just got one question and please give myself and others your best take on this because I know you Will keep it clean and keep it real now If this is what our offensive coordinator is saying that he has a lot in store a lot stored in his vault Then the brother he must have lost the combination because this team Which I love through the good and the bad times looking like we are into a new playbook And everyone seems to be confused with all of the injuries that we have our oc needs to be putting the best players on the field And especially not sitting in number one draft pick And lamada truth looks like he doesn't have a clue what's going on at times because if you say you practice against the zero blitz Then we the raven should be the blitz busters Sorry and graven for the long message But this isn't the raven's team that we know that shows the guts and glory May god continue to bless you and your family and let's give a shout out to your boy carter Appreciate that now um That's funny somebody mentioned uh, they when Lamar said oh, yeah, we practice against the the blitz every day In that video they were like well, um y'all got to remember that Winking them their blitzers they don't get there and they don't get to the quarterback So maybe that's why lamar and them are struggling because these other teams blitzers actually get to lamar and they get to the quarterbacks um But yeah that that vault it got to get opened up You can't save nothing for the playoffs. You can't be oh, well, maybe we'll we'll save this for no open that thing up, man open that thing up and and let's get this thing cracking man because The offense has been a struggle like I mean like you've heard all video everybody's on the same page We know the offense offense is all this team They will live by and die by this offense for the rest of the season They will live by died by that's it That's it This off at the this team goes as far as the offense goes and the offense doesn't go anywhere Then the team won't need them You
