 So far throughout this season the Ravens have not been playing to their identity. They've been running the ball less and passing a lot more than usual and a lot of us are wondering why. But could the answer to that be that they're actually experimenting against these bad teams and waiting until they play more quality teams to really play Ravens football? A lot of the Ravens play calling on offense has been extremely frustrating but we need to list a few reasons why the Ravens should not fire Greg Roman. The Ravens actually be using a heavier pass attack to limit Lamar Jackson's runs because he's dealing with an injury that we just don't know too much about. To John Harbaugh make Greg Roman pick two running backs every game to really feed the ball to. These and many many more questions on this special episode of NFL Questions from subscribers.

whatever's easier for you so anyway teamkeepitclean we got a lot of questions to do we got some real good ones as we always do let's do it first question came from my boy RickyD1980 he said how you feel about Lamar being under Senate more often I definitely thinks he can produce more it's so obvious and shotgun teams are plugging his run gaps if he got to pull the ball down oh yeah being under Senate couldn't help I mean it couldn't hurt couldn't hurt be something different that they normally uh they don't do unless it's in goal line so it would be just one one simple wrinkle to the offense that could not necessarily do wonders but it could certainly help next question came from my boy Nick B he said I'm sure you have a million questions this week maybe you should start doing most commonly asked or highlighted questions that you like either way I'm rocking I'm rocking with the video whether it be 10 minutes or an hour lol and this one is probably gonna be over an hour I'm just I can just imagine anyway he said uh get into my question just like the rest of team keep it clean I've been questioning if I know anything about football after watching the play calling me my only thought is do you think that they are just experimenting against these bad teams just giving Lamar as many reps to throw the ball as possible before you have to play to our identity against better teams as much as I hate what I'm seeing Lamar for the first time is getting extended passing reps a lot of his mistakes are getting on film for him to see each weekend work on I have to say I love that Lamar isn't running the ball this early in the season which says a lot for his longevity this seems like the only logical explanation and I hope it's true I just hope they don't forget about what makes Lamar special in the first place and that they aren't getting trapped in the media nonsense I absolutely love this I love this and it just everything he said makes too much sense it makes too much sense and I think that that could be a possibility they may want to get Lamar more comfortable throwing more passes each game um they may want to really get him sort of get that try to get that passing game in a big rhythm and then like we've been seeing sprinkles at a run game and we've even been seeing successful sprinkles at a run game but maybe they're holding it out for later maybe they're trying to reverse what they did last year in the playoffs where oh man all throughout the season it is powerful running team they still get their throws on but that is powerful running team all throughout the regular season then they oh playoffs flip the switch flip flip and they go to being a passing team but it obviously didn't work so maybe they maybe that's what they're doing they doing all these passing plays early on and then come playoff time oh flip flip oh back to normal we're running team again but so I but no seriously though it everything he said makes sense and he said uh and and with them experimenting against these bad teams because I mean they did some of the experimenting too against the Chiefs as well um and just maybe they are just taking this time to where because they and their wins they what they won the first game I think 386 something like that the second game they won by like 17 I think 14 or 17 something like that then the third game that was the Chiefs big yikes then they played the Washington football team they won that by double digits and then of course the Bengals they won that one 20 or 27 or 3 I forgot what the score was but either way they have been when they win they went big they've won big albeit against even though the Browns Browns been doing that thing and the Bengals have been close in all of their games but the Ravens have they've they've had the opportunity to where these games the score gets extended and the Ravens have time and and they have plays to play with so maybe they are just trying some different stuff out maybe that's what it is and maybe when they see some of these teams maybe they like maybe they they aren't overlooking any teams but at the same time maybe it's one of them things where they're like oh we are a lot better than these guys we a lot better built than these guys and and and we can like really blow these guys out of the water you know what let's take the time now try some new stuff let's try it out so from everything you said that that would be one of the only ways and only reasons that the way that the Ravens offense has been so far would make sense next question or I guess comment came from a boy Ricky D he literally just sent this like just now I had just did his question like a couple minutes ago but he sent this one like just now he's any way man you got to do one on Marlon Humphrey because he has turned it up a notch I know you see the turnovers but do you really see I noticed his technique and how he squares up on the receivers in that right hand is always balled up when someone catches the ball he grabs and turns the man to get him off balance and then boom there's the punch it's about to be a norm for him so teams better not get pretty after the catch that's true we've seen it with Marlon Humphrey every time you tackle somebody he'll grab you with one arm then with other arm fruit punch knock it out next question came from a boy y'all is fouled he said hey engraving I didn't mean to get you all emotional in the live stream lol this guy he said I got a few questions for you then I'm out your way question number one do you think this is one of the best draft classes in Ravens history as in potential and high ceiling um Patrick Queen okay JK Dobbins here we see um Devin Duvenay uh it depends on the opportunity same with pro shape um Matabique again we'll see Bredesen we'll see um Malik Harrison we'll see uh so uh now I can't call it one of the best draft classes in Ravens history as in potential and high sit I see what you're saying but it's Broderick Washington uh it's it's just too many geno stone it's too many wheel seats for me like as far as Patrick Queen okay let's get a JK Dobbins okay but for the rest is just a matter of the opportunities and we don't know how much opportunity they're gonna get so the only like I the only short thing short thing right now is Patrick Queen and then with JK Dobbins once they get him going and like really get him going I'm pretty sure that he's gonna be just fine but everything else is like we it's just a lot of unknowns with that so I can't say it is um and then he said number two after watching the bingles game our defense was ruthless and a joy to watch but our offense is not capitalizing on the field advantage and leaving points on the board I've noticed Duvenay getting more snaps than miles do you think Boykin is dropping from the depth chart and we might see Duvenay starting uh with a little bit of pro shape I do think that's coming eventually um I think they're just I don't think they're gonna go all in right now I think they'll just sprinkle game by game more and more uh but you you can see a sort of shift and he said last question Lamar is too predictable and needs to spread the ball more like Russ Rogers my home so our receivers can make plays do you agree oh 1000% 1000% because uh with Lamar Jackson if he can spread that ball more uh that will um that that that just will make the offense that much more lethal uh and it would just make them a lot more dangerous because it if teams they already know like we already knew this but now teams they saying it out loud like I think it was Bates who said it yesterday he said and I'm recording this on Monday evening by the way but Bates said uh I think Jesse Bates he was like hey all you gotta do focus on 15 and 89 that's all who Lamar is looking at so that's all we gotta look at so Lamar is up to him to find his other guys and his other guys he missed some opportunities by not looking that way like there was a pass that was there with DuVernay and Mark Andrews running the same route but DuVernay was running about 10 yards shorter um and Mark Andrews I think he was in double coverage I'm not sure but DuVernay was open he had his man beat he was open but Lamar was fixated on Mark Andrews and he threw the Mark Andrews and it was incomplete DuVernay would have got more than enough yards for the first time maybe even a touchdown so yeah Lamar just gotta uh open his eyes up a bit more see to feel better and then he said uh oh yeah he definitely needs to work on a deep ball accuracy true and he said just like the Falcons coach I'm out he appreciated Javis next question came from a boy uh Terrell he said definitely getting used to the new norm I hope you and all your family members are doing well I appreciate it I like that the Ravens finally utilize DuVernay do you think that they should begin starting him and moving him up in the lineup to share snaps or possibly start him over Boykin I think they might as well just go ahead and start him like it like it can't be any worse than what the wide receiver group is now as a whole so with with it only being contributions from Hollywood and Andrews it definitely wouldn't hurt to put DuVernay in there he said Boykins is a good receiver but is it uh is it me or is it that he just he just doesn't get much separation although he has a size it does not seem as though Lamar and him uh have chemistry yet they don't he said DuVernay came in and made an immediate impact what are your thoughts on this and he said PS my pops Alonzo say what's up what's going on man um so yeah I definitely think uh DuVernay could come in and do better and just have more of an impact and he could be more of a threat because Boykin got all the tools but I just don't know what it is I don't know what it is with Miles Boykin it seems as if he just uh he doesn't use his body to it to it to its advantage he doesn't use his size to his advantage and the Ravens also don't so I mean it's this is on everybody really um it's on Boykin it's on Lamar it's on the offensive court it's on everybody but it's like his it's just his talent um I feel like it's just almost wasting away next question came from my boy Ace he said what's up in Graven always hope you and the family doing well appreciate it what would it take for the Ravens to acquire a solid wide receiver and a pass rusher before the trade deadline I think those two positions are heavily lacking let me know what you think um I I do think uh at wide receiver yeah well it's obviously been a little bit of a struggle um and that pass rush yeah the pass rush has taken advantage of some bad teams but uh they are still in it's it is still an issue there um but what will it take for the Ravens to do that it just all depends on what they're willing to give up because in order for you to get to get both would be a lot that would be a lot and and to me I think it's unlikely they get that they get both but again you never know but that that's a lot to get a receiver and a pass rusher and we know that um that would definitely make uh the team that much better but what would the Ravens give up and who would the Ravens give up because I don't think they would be able to get a receiver and a pass rusher just strictly for draft picks and draft picks only and I mean regardless if you are to bring on a receiver a pass rusher you got to give somebody up anyway because you ain't got no open roster spots I mean attire locker's about to go down but they said they're probably gonna call up the uh the center uh Tristan uh because his last name starts with a C my apologies I don't remember his last name but you're gonna have to give up somebody anyway so it all depends on how much draft capital Ravens are willing to give up and uh and who they're willing to give up as well now one thing to keep in mind I think a sleeper trade that they could do will be for a right guard I think that could be a sleeper trade that I know nobody's talking about and it's not a sexy trade so to speak but I think that's a sleeper trade that the Ravens could end up doing a question came from my guy Mr Campbell he said what's up engraving and team keeping clean I don't like dwelling on the pass too much but what three players from this current team could have given us that extra push last season in the playoffs it can be from offense or defense hope you and the family stay safe uh I will definitely say Kalaeus Campbell uh Kalaeus Campbell Patrick Queen and a third one maybe no I was gonna say JK Dobbins but Ravens decided they didn't want to run a ball no more then they didn't even use Gus so uh hmm that's tough that's Kalaeus Campbell Patrick Queen for sure um offensive line was better last year uh probably Devin Duvenay maybe they had probably Devin Duvenay give us a uh an explosive kick returner and a wide receiver that that is an actual threat and and has some good hands so Duvenay and Proche actually next question came from Tanja she said hey engraving what's happening her ball is well with you and yours I just want to scream what is Roman doing why is Lamar throwing the ball 37 times with this offense receiver so bad who is he throwing to Lamar threw a pass to Boykin and he just stopped obviously didn't understand the play sit him on the bench and put Duvenay on the field there are no weapons out there I am very concerned about our team right now with Greg Roman so um with the throwing uh him throwing 37 times well I think he was like what 18 for 37 something like that uh let me let me look at to see if I can find what the exact numbers were he was bringing it up right now if my phone decides it wants to load it anyway uh it's it's coming up soon but oh 19 for 37 okay so I was one off uh now Hobo I know what Hobo he can um beat around a bush a lot especially in those presses he's not he tends not to be very straightforward not that you want to show your whole hand because you're not going to do that I don't expect him to do that but with a lot of times when they will ask him certain questions and whatnot he'll sort of go like around it and dance around the answer and whatnot but in the presser that I heard from him today uh it was probably one of my favorite Hobo presses ever there was still a little bit dancing here in there but overall it was it was pretty good and mostly straightforward I appreciated how um on the fourth downplay from yesterday uh he said that he second guessed it he also talked about how they have gotten a little too cute sometimes and I was like whoa Hobo said that like that's wow um but he also talked about they asked him about why is Lamar like throwing so much what did he throw so much yesterday what's going on with the run game and Hobo talked about that and he's like 11 11 of those passes came in the two minute drifts 11 of them so if you take away 11 passes um from 37 that is 26 passes so that right there is a lot less passes than this and whether he completed 19 out of 26 or whatever but it just it would have been 26 passes instead of that and I was like huh and then he talked about how it's all about the situation and I was like yeah that that's true as well so with the 37 passes um when when you look at those numbers they don't always tell the whole story because it's all about situational football and while I do still think the running game needs to be implemented more and with Greg Roman I know a lot of people have been just very frustrated with Greg Roman a lot of people have been upset with Greg Roman and even some people have said the Ravens need to fire Greg Roman but actually I don't think the Ravens need to fire Greg Roman at all I just I don't think they need to fire him I know she wasn't saying that she's just saying that she's just frustrated and she's concerned about Greg Roman and I can understand that because when we look at the offense it's like hey what is going on with this offense what is going on and we didn't expect it to be exactly like it was last year but we did expect it to be some consistency we expected that run game to be strong we expected them to at least attempt to run attempt to establish a run but we haven't really seen that too often so it's been concerning but with Greg Roman I do not think he should be fired simply because that would have that would set you back well I mean some people probably like oh it might actually set you forward but now with Greg Roman we know what he's capable of and we just want to see him reach those capabilities with this offense and hopefully it's a thing like my guy Nick said in the first question where they're just trying some different stuff out on these bad teams hopefully that's what it is but I mean we did see them against the Chiefs but somebody did I think it was it was an enonic I forgot who it was but somebody meant I don't know it was my guy Jeff Jay that's who it was it was my guy Jeff Jay he mentioned well maybe the Ravens lost to the Chiefs on purpose now I hate that I don't like the whole losing on purpose thing I don't like that at all but I think a different way to put it would be like maybe the Ravens just didn't show their forehand intentionally maybe they just had some in the reserve for later on down the road and hopefully that's what it is hopefully hopefully hopefully and again against these teams these bad teams maybe they just trying some different stuff out for the long run trying to get a little more comfortable throwing a lot more passes in games and whatnot so he can get into more of a rhythm uh as a passer maybe um they just experiment but with Greg Roman if I feel like if they got rid of him now you would run the risk of the offense and everything being set back because somebody knew would be taken over whether they have experience as an offensive coordinator not but somebody knew would take over and they would have to run things then and they would have to get the communication down with the players and whatnot getting the play calls in just the whole nine and not to say that somebody else isn't capable of it but at the same time um you you don't want to you don't want to do like a lot of these other teams do and I mean hey Ravens they fight an offensive coordinator in the middle of the season well not the middle of the season it was more towards the end and they work just fine and they won the silver bowl so not to say that it's not you you can't still win if you do that but I don't think it's gotten to the point where it's that bad yet it has been rough it has been rough but I think we just need some more adjustments need some different concepts uh for some stuff need to simplify some stuff you need to um just put more a little more detail in it there's no one thing that is missing from this entire Ravens offense well I know if somebody said oh can you name one thing missing from the Ravens offense I'm sure a lot of people say the run game but we just it just needs to grow it needs to grow but at the same time you got to remember what type of seed you planted already because now it seems like they want that seed that they planted to grow but they're using different soil to try to make it grow and that different soil is just not meshing with the seed right now so maybe you need to go back to the soil that you used last year and then you could sprinkle a little more new soil in there just a little bit while you're still growing with this the soil that you used from last season next question came from a boy uh Nick V he said hey bro hope you're doing well I got some trades that are unlikely but just fun to think about let me know if you'll be down for any of these these are always fun number one Ronnie Stanley Miles Boykin a third round pick for DHOP yes y'all know that I feel about Deandre Hopkins um yeah oh boy but you know you know Cardinals they ain't giving up their best receiver they ain't the Texans now but anyway Mark Andrews and the first round pick for Khalil Mack oh no that oh big upgrade on defense for a big downgrade on offense we would not have that explosive tight end anymore uh who has the potential to make these big plays and go for these long games because Nick Boyle got some hand Nick Boyle can catch but he ain't got no speed like that good blocker but he ain't gonna speed like that um so oh no I know couldn't do that one because the defense would go up but the offense will take a big step down because now who will them all look for besides Hollywood he ain't gonna look for nobody else besides it would just be Hollywood and that's it now man number three Gus L was the first round pick second round pick for sequin and he said pretend he never towards ACL um I mean trading the running back for running back now because the Ravens Ravens wouldn't even use them they wouldn't even use like Juan Walkley if they had him on the team so no there would be no point we would just be giving up a first and second round pick and Gus L was for nothing uh and then number four Marcus Peters and a fourth round pick for Darius Leonard now I I love Marcus Peters too much man just to vibe his energy and whatnot and uh just his uh all the potential that he brings on every play on every defensive play on every passing play so I now number five Orlando Brown a fifth round pick for flute for Fletcher Cox oh in front of Eagles wow how old is Fletcher Cox he's good he's good Orlando Brown I'll just be worried about um the potential there uh because he could be our future left tackle if things go south with with Ronnie as far as contract talks oh he's 29 okay I thought he was a little older than that um Orlando Brown in the fifth for Fletcher Cox I'm too on offense with this one so I'll probably be like I'll probably be like no yeah I'll probably say no for that one all right and next first round first round pick for Alan Robinson oh a first form oh boy oh if they gonna give up a first you know you better look his way so I wouldn't have a problem if they did that but they oh they better use him they better use and they better use him and Lamar I know he don't trust no receivers besides Hollywood and Andrews but hey well if they use the first round pick you better trust uh Alan Robinson and then also Marlowe needs his own superstar ability and Madden called fruit punch do this crazy we all agree with you right there I know these trades are unrealistic but hey that's part of being a fan have a good one bro and stay safe hey I appreciate this Nick this this was fun next question came from a boy established 1996 he said what happens if when oh he said what happens if and when we play the Chiefs again and Roman has Lamar throw the ball 56 times and run the ball 15 should the Ravens make a move to better fit Lamar and the chances uh for the Ravens to bring a Super Bowl home we won't know till we get there man hopefully they can uh have an effective running game uh when and if that time if and when that time comes when we play the Chiefs again and just they just come out looking like a much better football team because and the intimidation factors out the window because again I think that's what the biggest thing is with the Chiefs the intimidation factor once they get past that oh it'll be a new ball game next question came from my guy Vibe T he said what's going on in Graven what up team keep it clean hope you and the family are safe and well been a subscriber for a few years now I appreciate it man thank you and I just want to say uh first off thank you very much for all the content and work you put in it's incredible seeing the channel grow like it has been thank you for that man he said do you think Greg Roman and company are using our easy stretches of schedule to rest Lamar's knee and giving him more passing grip oh I didn't think about that I didn't think about that wow I didn't I did not I did not think about that because I know some people have said that they think Lamar is more injured than the Ravens are leading on um but I did not think about it that way um so anyway he said do you think uh Greg Roman and company are using easy stretches of schedule to rest Lamar's knee and giving him more passing reps along with keeping Gus JK and Devon out of everyone's film room for some surprises later on in the season um the knee part I could definitely see the second part uh about keeping Gus and JK and Devon out of everyone's film room I uh it's like I just I I want that to be the case I really do because again just like my guy Nick from earlier this something like this would help it make sense it would help it makes because that's all we wanted to do all we as fans would all of our frustration even though Ravens are four and one so that's some nice frustration to have but all with all of our frustration we just we just want we wanted to make sense that's that's it so with this it would make sense and he said the chase laws can be an immediate argument to this but maybe that was the wake-up call that they needed in a big way that might have been a blessing considering all of the interesting plays Andy Reed put on film I remember Lamar saying that they were trying to keep Devon's speed a secret for as long as possible so there might be a few more tricks up some sleeves it just doesn't make sense going from one of the top offenses with the highly praised offensive coach to simply a ton of question marks and possible hot seats looming I understand the rest of the league is adjusting and this might be over optimistic but I can't help but believe there's something being kept under wraps until the right time comes with our difference heating up I think the only way to go is up from here because he engraving again for everything you do and team keep it clean hey appreciated vibe and this I don't even know how to follow this up like we all hope that that's the case too we really do because like I said we just want stuff to make sense that's it so I hope that you're right I really do next question came from a boy Frankie see he said since a lot of people want to see trace McSully though do you still think they can line him up in the backfield with Lamar and a running back for a couple players so it can make defense is pressed because Lamar he would be out on the field now I mean trace McSully he isn't even active in the games and I just I don't see them doing that I don't see them using him as that type of player like as a as a weapon player we know that he can move a little bit now um and he can throw as well but I don't see them using him as a as a gadget guy next question came from a boy Justin G he said hey I'm 18 almost 19 year old dude who lives in Sweden football ain't that big over here but I've still grown to love it I wondered as someone who knows the game in the community is it possible for a dude to start with football at 19 years old overseas and still have a shot at the NFL even though I've missed the high school football stage PS love the streams and hashtag keep it clean and hashtag go Raven yeah I appreciate it Justin yeah I mean you just go to school go to a college or what not and try to get on the team I'm not sure how the teams work over there and I know you did say um football ain't that big over there so if I was you then I would look I know you said it's not that big over there uh so I would go to somewhere over there try to find a school or something where you could try to play uh where football is the biggest so you would have that opportunity so you can get as much of a shot as you can and then even if you want to dig deep into it you could look into seeing if you could come to the States and try to play some way over here so it's of course it is different avenues to um to reaching to being able to play football and whatnot it's just now it's all about that research and putting in the work next question came from a guy Ed he said hello brother what's going on Ed he said many things for all your hard work and keeping us so current on Raven's news and moves especially during the off season your content was great and kept us feeling connected to our favorite team the Ravens your work ethic is impressive uh you have your finger on the pulse of the Ravens at all times if there is a development or trend large or small uh you are there quickly to let us know I know I speak for many who are happy and excited and how team keeping clean has grown as all Ravens fans reap the benefits from your growth and success hey I mean I appreciate this man thank you thank you for for watching and then tuning in it's it's funny you say that uh the part about uh if there's a development or trend large or small you are there quickly to let us know because like not many it happens very rarely but there was some I forgot who it was was somebody when um the Ravens had they had cut somebody I forgot who they cut and somebody was complaining like oh man why why did you have to do a video on this guy he's like a nobody on the team oh no they had signed some they had signed somebody they had signed the running back who was an undrafted free agent I forget his name oh I forget his name but somebody's like why did you do a video on that man what was the point man and I'm like I mean you really didn't have to watch but I said I told him I said my apologies for keeping you updated I'm sorry it won't happen again even though it happens all the time but yeah it's just funny like um it's funny the different things that people will look for to complain about it's just sometimes that's just crazy to me I don't mean to take your positive and make it a negative because that's not what I'm trying to do but I just think that that is very amusing to me what people will look for to complain about instead of just if they didn't want any any information on that player you're the one that click play you click play and you take the time to comment on the video that you didn't care to get any information on that player or you didn't ask me why I made a video on that player if he's a nobody but you could have used all that energy and just not even have watched it's crazy right anyway you said a question preface as astute NFL players have noticed in the recent ESPN officials are deliberately ignoring obvious holding and takedowns in order to produce a shorter and higher scoring games this is a big part of the reason why our sack numbers are down this year anyone with NFL game pass could see many blatant examples of the Kansas City Chiefs doing this against Williams and Campbell in this year's money night football game question what defensive adjustments do you think the Ravens need to make or have already made to counter the effects of this new policy this year well you know wink wink wink's answer to everything send everybody just send them they can't hold all of us so i mean that that's not really a shocker there because again the NFL they love their points they love their points and I think maybe it will make sense that they are they trying to keep the games quicker because the experience is just different obviously with no fans there for most of the stadiums or even just a little bit amount of fans for those stadiums that do allow fans but it just um I think it's a mix of them wanting the teams to score more points of course because the NFL loves offense and them trying to get off the field as quickly as they can okay like oh man it's all this uh we trying to go home and quarantine um so they trying to uh be like somewhat safe um but I in order for the Ravens to counter it yeah wink just send more they can't hold as much or just uh they just have to find a way to get stronger up front you got to find a way to get stronger up front and just they they need somebody who can really be disruptive where it's like blatant and it's like the offensive linemen is grabbing the jerseys just so they won't get to the quarterback if you have a really good pass rusher then they're gonna have no choice but to call holding or that pass rusher gonna be eating up the quarterback so it's I know Ravens don't they don't have that right now but I don't really think there is a solution uh until they either get one or you you got to send more you got to send more than than they can hold and you know Ravens they love doing it next question came from my boy uh s walkill he said uh engraving following the loss of the Vikings last Sunday jj white express expression with the direction of the team uh subsequently below brian gets fired as gm and a coach with that said do you see a possible uh a possibility where a for where four fourth round pick and judon the ravens attempt to trade for jj what oh my very respectfully uh and then he put his name s walkill I know I messed up on your name so my apologies me oh see that would that would be something right there better pass rusher jj white but more versatile judon health wise I mean health wise you go you go you go it goes to judon all day every day um I don't think that would happen I don't um because jj white again better pass rusher than judon but judon got him in health and and look in the versatility versatility is important jj white ain't dropping back he ain't dropping back and as far as stamina uh I'll get that to judon as well so could I say even see them getting good jj white he we used to the ravens got jj white they would have to pay him the remainder of his salary and I know he forgot a pretty high salary I believe but they would have to pay him the remainder of his salary for this year um and I just uh it'd be cool if it was for something cheap but I don't see them I don't see a scenario where they would give up mad judon for jj white even if it included a pick this question came from my boy uh tj adams he said I ain't graven long time subscribed and loved what you put on it put out on a daily basis appreciate it he said you give us something to connect to because it's similar to our thoughts well I don't know about all of it because I can't even what are you talking about man what are you saying that's not what the raven's doing anyway he said but anyways I'm watching the game right now and this came on October 4th so I'm I'm believing it's against Washington but I don't remember anyway oh but it's the same question that you can ask in every game he said and I'm wondering where is our commitment to the run why are we throwing deep balls deep balls three plays in a row our read option is so predictable and we can't be running these stupid flip plays they don't work we like to hear your thoughts hey well hopefully my god tj watched the beginning of this episode a question from subscribers and even the question where it got revisited and in the middle where hopefully this is the ravens just trying to stuff out on bad teams and even though they've been winning hopefully it's just them experimenting trying to lose the little different things here and there just to sort of dibble and dabble in it real quick and just to see how it is and then come later on in the season they really get back to who they are and they can catch some teams off guard maybe this is then putting some film out there like okay ravens are a passing team now they don't run a ball anymore but then when they play certain teams in the future they start running again so hopefully that's what it is hopefully this question came from a boy Nicholas Wallace shout out to biggie he said what's up in graven I hope you days going good why is wide receiver problem every single year with the ravens when they try getting a bunch of veterans it doesn't work out and then they try developing the young guys it doesn't work out just look at the last five years the ravens could have drafted a wide receiving the first round of the draft and I don't think anyone would have flinched even last year I wanted them to draft a wide receiving the first round Boykin isn't cutting it that interception Lamar threw in the Washington game was on Boykin for not looking at the ball it just feels like wide receiver something ravens can never get right and I don't know why well um that will be on talent evaluation that'll be on the players or be on coaching be on the mix of stuff but Hollywood has been he's been pretty good for the ravens but I think for Hollywood to be better you need to have somebody else that's good too they don't even have to be great you just need somebody else that's good too so it's somebody else respectable I don't think defenses are respecting Miles Boykin because I don't even think our offense respects Miles Boykin the way that he's put in situations and then the lack of opportunities that he receives I don't think the offense really respects Miles Boykin as a receiver again it's scary because I remember we said a couple years ago and it's sad that it's looking like it right now hopefully things change but we said a couple years ago on here that the ravens they just don't know what to do with tall receivers they have no clue what to do with tall receivers the last tall receiver they had they changed them to a tight end he's doing very well now with the Raiders that being Darren Waller but they don't know what to do with tall receivers they just they get a tall receiver this guy is six four six five how do we use them it happens every time every time somebody let me know one tall receiver that they had where it worked out you know how we can sit up here and wait we can wait you can rewatch this whole episode of question from subscribers and if you can come up with somebody please let me know where it worked out a tall receiver that they drafted and it worked out for them they are none so I just I'm not sure I'm not sure what it is I don't know what it is but um well earlier it's been that they've been in win now win now mode so much uh so they would just sign these veteran guys uh but then recently they still been in win now mode but they decided to go with the young guys and not all of them have been working out uh well hollywood has duvne hasn't really got too much of an opportunity and pro shape really hasn't gotten any of opportunity and boy goodness he's he's gotten some opportunity doesn't give me any passes throwing his way uh but it's because limar just don't trust him limar don't look his way or that is it that he's not getting over that's where we need the all 22 for that but they've been they they tried different things and um then then it can come down to just talent evaluation talent evaluation and really uh put in stock and effort into uh drafting the best of the best of receiver and usually the best of the best of receivers way at the top of the draft and ravens don't usually draft draft the way at the top of the draft because that would mean that they didn't have a successful season uh because they are in win now mode and when they're in win now mode they're competitive so they're not going 2 and 14 they're not going 1 and 15 and they're not going 3 and 13 so that has a lot to do with it as well this question came from a boy jason w he said yo what's up in graven i've been subscribed for a while now and i got a question just as he goes back from his entry do you think he will get more in the mix at running back these next few games i think he could really help out in the run game oh yeah and this is my first time doing questions from subscribers so thanks and keep up the good work appreciate it jason no i don't i don't think he will uh because they they barely even used the their three running backs that they have been using uh so if they throw in a fourth it oh i just i don't see it happening at all that's not a knock on justice hill that's more so on the coaching staff and just how they've been using it guys so i i don't i don't see it happening next question came from my boy alex s he said should harbors make greg roman pick two running backs per game to feed consistently hmm that oh that would certainly be a uh strategy right there uh because that would be your guys for that game and that could help condense this whole give it to him give it to him give it to him and instead it could be give it to him or give it to him i i like that idea that is very interesting i do like that idea wow that's it yeah it's very interesting and he said should harbors be held more accountable for lackluster performances against oh and lack of in-game adjustments oh for sure uh because you are the head coach of course you have your your coordinators and stuff they supposed to handle that stuff but you are the head coach so but who who's going to hold him accountable who's going to call harbors out it would have to be eric the caster but it had to come from steve ishadi but eric the caster steve ishadi he's the owner whatever but steve ishadi i mean it would have to come from eric the caster because he's a gm so he's more involved in that stuff than a bishadi bishadi like hey i got the money y'all hey put this thing together best way you know how to win win some games let's go make some money too but eric the caster he's a more hands-on gm and whatnot he's more involved with all that stuff so i'm sure that would have to be him so and he said should harb make greg roman and lamar target at least two other wide receivers five times per game minimum now see you don't want you don't want to set a quota with receiver targets you don't want to set a quota because then you end up forcing stuff but you do want more receivers to be involved though but not not a quota what quota way should hauls be considering asking the caster about picking up antonio brown it it would certainly help a lot give team somebody else to really look at and i know lamar would be able to report with antonio brown like that like like immediately right away no questions asked about that so football wise it would help but i just i don't see them doing it and he said should hauls be on the hot seat if ravens don't succeed this year in the playoffs well let's succeed to you it succeed to you winning one game in a playoffs or winning two or winning the super bowl it depends on your version of success but i don't think he will be on the hot seat at all um but i i think um i think it would all just depend on the way that things happened whether he should be on the hot seat or not i don't think he will be on the hot seat at all no matter what happens i don't think he'll be on a hot seat but i think he should depending on what happens and how things happen how things play out uh then he said should ravens take a look uh hard look at chief's offensive coordinator for head coach next year if the ravens underachieve again i feel offense needs to make strides to be a true super bowl contender and that may mean an offensive head coach with a history of coordinating successful offenses that would be eric benamy i wouldn't mind that if something would have happened to hardball which we know it won't um i definitely wouldn't mind the ravens are taking a look at eric benamy that would definitely be a different style than they've had before well billy he was he was all i think he was an offensive coordinator for the vikings when they had like morse and chris carter i'm pretty sure he was not 1000 percent sure but i think he was but anyway um wow so yeah i would be down for eric benamy if he became if hardball was to be uh put out as head coach i would be down for that give us an offensive mastermind and then maybe david coley would stay on staff because he worked with him before uh so there will be that familiar familiarity so never know but no we know hard but it ain't going away next question came from my boy uh ronald he said uh do you think lemar's groin injury is affecting the way he moves and throws and do you see him firing his hips like he practiced i don't see that part but do i think his groin injury is affecting the way he moves and throws i think it could be i think it certainly could be uh because we've seen how i remember in the uh in the bingles game yesterday there was a uh there was a play where bingles defensive end he got back there and lemar he tried to make a miss but he couldn't he didn't and maybe that bingles defensive end is just that agile too he's like hey you think you can shake me now you but so i think that is a real possibility that uh he is being hindered by some type of injury and again like somebody mentioned earlier maybe that's why they haven't thrown so much because they don't want him to run because he's still dealing with something this question also came from a guy ronald r he said hey engraving hope you and a family are blessed during this 2020 but do you think we should trade for a pass rusher and or offensive lineman due to the lack of skill at both after watching the bingles game i couldn't tell the difference between joe borough's problem and lemar's problem i just don't want my body get hurt and yeah like i said earlier i think that would um that would be like a uh a trade that nobody was really looking for but one that could certainly be done and that could help if you trade for quality interior offensive lineman that could uh that could do wonders i think and they've they've been experimenting they've been mixing and matching uh like in the bingles game they were doing ben powers macari ben powers macari and back forth back forth i think they i think they should try fluker there try him out there a little bit and just i think they should try uh fluker a right guard and try macari a sinner like he did last year when scurril was hurt because i don't know if scurril is all the way back yet me i don't know and i didn't get to individually like watch him in the bingles game so i'm not sure exactly how he did but if he's hurt if he's still hurt then i think they should uh try macari there and um at left guard and the bozeman's been doing pretty good so leave him where he is but they're gonna try something that's something different to just get some quality offensive line out there man um and again we do miss lasher yonder of course but he also said do you think we should trade for a pass rusher uh yeah that that certainly could help uh but then what do you give up and who takes a back seat his comment came from my boy ricky d 1980s he got to give marlin humphrey a nickname i call him punch out like mike tyson punch out well yeah fruit punch fruit punch was his nickname so you can roll with that next question came from a boy cori b he said um lil mart jackson has been knocked out uh the game by one team the chiefs do you think it's possible that that has led him to playing the way he plays against their defense hmm um hmm i don't know since this is the the only team that he hasn't beat yet for the teams that he's played well the titans too they uh they haven't beat the titans either but hmm do you think it's possible that that that has led him to playing the way he plays against their defense nah i i don't know what it cuz it's been a mix of play it's just been a mix of the play the coaching it's just been rough the past two games against the chiefs it's like his rookie his rookie season when he knew the least he did the best they did the best team did the best they really coached their behinds off in that game and they had those dudes right there right there and then it was all it was execution the fourth and fourth and what fourth and nine oh the pass rush almost got to Patrick moe they almost got they were so close almost got there pranel McPhee was chasing him and boy he was running for his life and pranel McPhee he could he just couldn't get there in time Patrick moe that was all she wrote expression came from a boy kevin ale and he did i acknowledge that he knew this could happen and it did happen he said hey man he engraving the whole ball as well uh as the far weather turns the east cold but not as cold as i like that the fact that geno stone has been released oh i thought he's about to do a coldest water promote anyway he said uh this question may become outdated boom and it could be that spot that the spot has been filled prior to this being answered boom uh but what's your take who's coming into the ravens a pass rusher receiver see with that i um i didn't know what they were gonna do i was thinking in the back of my mind it's probably gonna be something that's like underwhelming something that's not the sexy move or whatnot um because i just i didn't know i just really didn't know and then at the same time i was thinking hold up they just released geno stone like that out of nowhere oh well they obviously got to make a move is something and they ended up i think yeah they promoted Khalil Dorsey to the active roster so they needed another corner so i was like okay i wasn't um like i wasn't like disappointed anything i wasn't like surprised anything i was just like okay Khalil Dorsey okay so it wasn't surprising that it wasn't the um the sexy move that a lot of people wanted to happen uh i think that move could still happen uh but that's just that that's gonna just come out of nowhere and now this this question came around a time that Lamar had been missing the practices leading up to the bingles game and some people talking rg3 some people talking trace these next two questions were around them this this one came from tondra she said stop it engraving every time rg3 gets in the game he is not shown backup ability as soon as he got on the field in the watching the game he threw the ball to a defender you know we're done if rg3 has to play the whole game it ain't that bad man it ain't that bad and i mean again he's a backup he's a backup and again now some people say that that was on hollywood morning because hollywood he turned around too early or he jumped too early for the ball so that could have been on hollywood it might not even have even been on rg3 because then even my god devin devin said ain't graven it's devin from marilla i've been a fan since old nine even though at the time i was five years old lol since i've been a fan we have never had a better than average backup qb i know it's called a backup for a reason but i feel that we've always lacked a good enough backup just in case flacco ever went down like it did in 2015 anyway my point is that i feel that the backups we have at the moment rg3 and trace aren't good enough to take over in case lamar were to get injured i know we never have seen trace mix holly in regular season game before but i don't know how much production we can get out of them and that's the thing you don't want to find out as long as lamar is your starter you don't want to find out like the backups are the backups for a reason like if we had if we had starters at backups then they wouldn't be backups so backups they they take that backseat and they're the just in case they're the insurance policy for the starting quarterback but they're not starters where rg3 was once a starter i honestly think man i i don't think rg3 is as bad as so many people try to make them i think that they just get fixated on lamar in the offense which is understandable but and then when they see rg3 coming in he doesn't do something as fast as lamar would or he just try to shake somebody and it doesn't work they like oh man this guy's terrible he's terrible i i i don't i don't be thinking that he's that bad though man because a lot of people be thinking like oh man rg3 or he's just so terrible but again he is the he's a backup he's a backup so i mean it is what it is hopefully we don't have to worry about that or we don't have to see whoever the backup would be between tracing rg3 and it'd just be lamar always and the last question on this episode nfl question from subscribers came from my guy maverick b he said hey brother hope you in the family happy and safe appreciate it okay i'll just sit here thinking and spit balling with myself not strange i promise rg3 hasn't really shown me a good oh i didn't even know this was rg3 question too he said rg3 hasn't really shown me a good backup with the little amount of time he has played so what what what one of my spit balls was what if we cut rg3 and brought in capping it on a small deal because i feel like if and i mean if in a big if if lj does end up missing some games because of injury wouldn't defenses be more scared if cap came out for for lj than rg3 i'd like to think so and greg roman was the offensive coordinator when cap took the niners out of the super bowl against us and cap had a lot of success with greg roman too i think that we would have the upper hand there too thanks for your time raven nation hashtag ball so hard and lj eight um so with with cap and i i don't think anybody's gonna sign cabinet i think um that capital it not let's just say capital cap and nick i think that train has come and passed with the ravens ever since they were trying to bring him in a couple years ago and we know what happened then but i think that that is on i mean that is over and the ravens have moved on from that and moved on from the thought the possibility of bringing in uh carlin cap and i really don't think i don't think anybody's gonna sign if nobody signed them by now even with a bad qb play from some of their teams even with some guys on their team that uh don't have as much experience as him and don't even have as much as kind of accomplishments in the nfl is him i still don't think anybody's gonna sign him i just don't and i know there's some talk about like p caro was like oh you just just just capping it but i don't think anybody's gonna sign him like that at all i think that um he is like he's like right right there to where he may have already played his last down in the nfl
