 YouTube team keep it clean. Good morning. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and in this video just another daily topic about the Baltimore Ravens and Something to think about for the immediate future With the draft coming up with free agency coming up I know we keep repeating those things, but we have to keep repeating those things because they are on the way And they'll be here before you know it. It's only gonna be in about a month And I'm only gonna be able to say about a month For about another week because then another week is gonna be in only like three weeks And three weeks is gonna be in another like two weeks and then after that so on and so forth, but anyway So we're gonna keep talking about it until we actually reached that point And in this video shout out to my guy still seven-fold. He had sent me a DM on Twitter saying asking should the Ravens draft a Halfback that can catch one that can catch a Catching half back one that I catch some passes out of the backfield One that's like known for that sort of like what Danny Woodhead is But maybe if we can get a younger guy, he will one be cheaper and one will not be injury prone And I say man, that's actually a pretty good idea So we're gonna get into that for this video this morning and again I appreciate everybody that's joining us this morning. Good morning. I hope we all are all having a great day today Hope y'all have a great Friday this Friday started off really really good so far so far so good. I hope it continues that way I'm sure it will though The first before we get into it. Let me introduce myself me.

So So should the Ravens make that move and Draft the running back that can make some catches out of the backfield or should they sign one? I know Juan just mentioned Deon Lewis now I would stay away from him not because he can't catch because he can definitely catch and make some plays once he gets the ball in his hands But I just don't feel like the Ravens should invest Big money And he might not even command big big money, but for Ravens any free agent free agent running back That's big money because that's not a position. That's at the top of their Needs So that's something that you can draft. I think they should focus more on a draft for any running back help and not free agency because If there's a running back in free agency besides Deon Lewis, then that's probably a reason for that I mean we saw Adrian Peterson last year and saw what he did with the Saints They got rid of him and he went on to the Cardinals and that was the reason Who else I think Jamal Charles was out there last year and he Looked like he fell off a little bit unless maybe it just wasn't a good fit the system that he was in who knows But my point is there's a reason that these running backs are in free agency You can get a running back in the draft you can hit on them in the draft and That could be your that could be your goal but anyway For the Ravens They're running back situation. Everybody knows the story with Alice Collins. He had just he had been such a blessing from Seattle Thank you again Seattle for blessing us with Alice Collins We got to do a special video for the Seattle Seahawks and all their fans Because they deserve it. They saved our season But Alice Collins, he was great last year. He was great and the but we The Ravens if they want to pass catching running back. He was not really that option He caught some passes out of out of the backfield don't get me wrong, but his hands are definitely not consistent He did have a lot of drops And some simple drops just with the balls right there on your hands But he did make some tough catches too, but as a running back your primary responsibility is not to catch the ball It is a nice nice little bonus though if you can catch that just Enhances your game and takes it to a whole nother level. So with Alice Collins Can he catch the ball out of the backfield? Yes Is he a consistent catcher right now? No Hopefully he can improve on that to become an even better back than he already is Because he's shown that and the Ravens have shown that they're willing to work with him on any issues that he may have For example the problem Because like we all talked about before we already know Harbaugh hates fumbling with a passion and if you fumble on his team, you will end up on that bench so fast But with Alice Collins, I guess they saw something and they actually stuck with him Which I actually love which was something that I'm not used to with the Ravens but they actually stuck with them and gave him another chance and They worked on his fumbling issues instead of just giving up on a dude They actually worked on his fumbling issues I'm so used to Ravens just giving up on running backs once they fumble or just keeping them in the doghouse for a while and not Giving them a second chance for a very long time, but with Alice Collins They gave him a second chance and then maybe it was because they didn't see anything explosive from the other running back So he just hadn't to benefit from that or it could have been because they really saw something special in him either way I Think if we're gonna get a pass catcher running back It would have to be in a draft Because I mean we have Buck Allen on the team to don't forget about Buck Allen who's been nice especially last season But and he can catch out of the backfield, but his route running is just It's not It's not it. He's not a great route runner And again, he's a running back. So route running shouldn't be his His primary responsibility or his specialty. It would just be a nice bonus, but Danny Woodhead is somebody That can catch passes out of the backfield perfect for that Even though I felt like a lot of times when Danny Woodhead was in the game It was predictable because you knew Flacco was always going to be looking at that dude And I mean he had reasons who because that's the one receiver who he probably actually trusted He probably couldn't trust the rest of them receivers because they drop everything. Um But Danny Woodhead is not I don't I don't he's not worth As predictable wow, I just saw city. Maybe she dropped something. I saw some lady with two kids in the stroller And the stroller she just put the stroller Stroller was just sitting there and she was walking right past It looked like I don't know what that was that was about. Um, hopefully that's just Hopefully I just saw it at the wrong time and maybe she dropped something on the walk. Anyway, um, Danny Woodhead is not No, he's not worth the roster spot to me because he's injury prone older and He is somebody like I've said before In order for him to break a nice run, he needs the perfect blocking He needs everything to be perfectly lined up for him To to break a big run. He needs just all the worlds the worlds to fall in line for everything to line up perfectly and That doesn't happen on every play therefore He's not going to break run or even a nice run every plate with unless we have perfect blocking And that just doesn't happen in that film from anything so he's not worth the roster spot Alice Collins somebody who showed that he can get it done even if it's not perfect He made a whole lot of plays man. Shout out to Alice Collins, man. Um He is just great. Thank you seahawks again, but anyway, um So with all of that being said, um, as far as the pass catching running back draft one I still think we should get a speed back because we don't have a speed back I mean Alice Collins he has speed he's shown he can he can move but buck allen is not the homerun guy Alice Collins is not even the super homerun guy. I mean he can get it there, but It takes him I mean, he's probably the fastest back we got right now Um, and then we got Kenny Dixon too. Don't forget about Kenny Dixon somebody who can also catch passes out of the back field and they said he was nice at that and I remember when um I remember when Raven's first draft to Kenny Dixon. It was all this hype around him They were like, oh man, this guy's so nice He's a powerful back. Oh, he reminds me of Jamal Lewis when they drafted him Um, I guess an OTA's know that they said how good he looked blah blah blah And I'm like, okay. I want to see it and I want to see it on the field Uh, then he got hurt So they didn't get to see it. Um, so then he actually he His injury passed he was healthy again, and then I saw this guy. I'm like, hold up. Yeah, this dude can catch He got some he got a little spin move. He got a little agility too He could give a good stiff arm. This guy kind of nice. He's kind of nice, but then Um, next season he got hurt again He got hurt again, and he got suspended Then he got suspended again, and he got suspended while he was suspended So now you got this back with this talent, but it's like he almost can't he can't even be trusted He almost can't even be trusted yet Jamal Lewis was one of the best offensive players for the Ravens of all time Even though that's not saying much because it's the Ravens and they not know offensive players But they do gives me good running backs. That is one thing about Baltimore Ravens They make sure They do good running back They will have a good running back that Jamal Lewis is already right He just didn't force it when he did his thing and now alice collins Um, of course, uh, then buck allen. I mean even Ravens always with us mcgahey Larama claim they made they always make sure they take care of their running backs They have running backs. That's one thing that they specialize in um But yeah, man kena dixon has already shown that he is not trustworthy in two ways both injury wise And health wise so how much do you really want to rely on this and this is somebody they wanted to be the guy This is somebody they wanted to be the guy they wanted kena dixon to be the start of their prime time player They're running back of the the president in the future. They wanted him to be it, but he can't be trusted He lost his lost his opportunity because it's getting suspended and getting hurt So you do those two things in nfl? Ain't gonna last long man So I think because alice collins he showed that he was trustworthy buck allen's trustworthy get a speed back too Get us get us get somebody with some speed and we could also uh That same running back that we get with some speed if we can get a breakaway guy like that Maybe he could be a kick kick a punt returner too because that's something that we've lacked Over the last time we had an explosive kickoff a pump return besides jacoby jones We I don't I don't think we have what we did. We've had one since caven clay is not it michael campaneros not it chris moore is not it Two out of those three guys can't stay healthy And three out of three out of those three guys are not consistent enough They're not threats out of uh On kickoff and pump return. They're not real threats They can break one every like once every six months and football he's in his six months. So that's you get my point but um We get a speed back Uh back that can make some things happen Then he could also like I said be a kickoff with pump returners So that's something that I think raven should really look at this year too. Um, this draft this free agency or whatever Get somebody for special teams Because special teams the return special teams has been lacking for a while now. Um, but anyway, I pulled up to work Appreciate y'all man. Thank you for coming through. Thank you for showing so much love. I hope y'all have a great friday I'll talk to y'all later on we out, man
