Yes. Yes, because it seems as if if they do do anything this year it would just Be like not even necessarily pointless, but almost pointless Because it would be rushing him for the short term and it could have potential long-term impacts That would just wouldn't be good I feel like the whatever his injury is was and has been I feel like it's worse than what the Ravens led us on to believe I think it's almost been one of those things where It's it's one of those things where they they were holding out hope like all right Well, maybe if we could win a couple games and we could slide in maybe he could come back for the playoffs maybe but it's It just seems like it's something it's obviously really bad because he ain't played in what four five Man, what are we seeing them all play? Was it man, I don't even remember Oh the Browns game the build Yeah, the first quarter of the semi quarter of the Browns game and then that was it. So wow But yeah, I just sit him sit him that that's it Oh, but he also said it feels like there are a lot of fans wanting to force him on the field But I think that will only further injure our franchise guy Yeah, they've been some fans that like oh man When I was in high school, I had an ankle injury and I played right through it Oh, yeah, when when I when I played football and I had a bruised bone. I just ran it off But they failed to realize that they weren't about to get a huge 400 500 million dollar contract. They weren't playing for them think a lot of them forget that they went with the Situations are much different. That's why context is so important just with everything But anyway He said also is trying to make the playoffs even worth it This injured Ravens team would just be another first round exit and further continue the narrative of Lamar being a choke artist But if Lamar isn't even playing, which I mean, I just don't expect him to play like at all I know for a lot of fans. They feel like it's not worth it for me I feel like it is because you just never know I know the team has been beat up bruised up banged up all that good stuff but I feel like you should never throw in the towel for anything and I just I know the expectations will be low even if the Ravens do or did make the playoffs, but still You just never know what could happen Maybe a lot of the decision-making and a lot of the play will all just all of a sudden get better If they end the playoffs, but I mean so yeah, I wouldn't think it would be for nothing But I just I don't really think it Happens next question came from my guy Matt He said a engraving hold the famous doing well now in regards to the Ravens offense Do you think it would be beneficial if G-roll called plays from the sideline as opposed to calling plays from the booth? I see a sense of disconnect between him and the players might as well try something new It may lead to actual adjustments since players can communicate to G-roll things that they see on the field Right then and there in person. What do you think? I love that? Love that question. I love that that answer. I love that solution, too It couldn't hurt. I Mean, I know it's only one game left for the season now But it couldn't hurt. Well, he sent this when it was actually two games left in the season But yeah, it could not hurt Couldn't hurt because yeah, they could have some direct communication with them talk to him The quarterbacks the running backs the receivers offensive like they could all talk to him Right then and then person and it could be like alright. Hey, well, okay Maybe I see this a little bit differently, but that would take adjustments to be made on G-roll's part And that's something that he seems to fail at so But it couldn't hurt. What's the worst that could happen? That's the way I look at it What's the worst that could happen? I said also do you think next year G-roll could formulate a dominant run game featuring JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards without The threat of QB design runs. No No, I don't think that This offense with Greg Roman would ever be an offense that does not feature the design QB runs I don't I don't have any confidence in that at all Initially when I was first reading the question and you said oh could G-roll formulate a dominant run game featuring JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah But then you said without the the threat of design QB runs and I was like, okay I think the formations and motions using the QB run game create schematic flaws and limitations in the past game Hmm that makes it difficult for any cute QB to push the ball downfield and win games that way. Yes Yes. Yes. Yes, especially with that personnel, man Especially with the personnel, man He said unless you're an MVP that can run a 4-2 Changing the offense in that way would allow the martyr become more of a distributor Put more receivers on the field and get deeper in the passing game Yes, this is my biggest frustration when they have Pat Ricardo out here running all these routes like he's a wide receiver or even a tight end No, the personnel the way that they scheme personnel is it can be laughable sometimes Anyway, say what do you think sorry for long message? Thank you and bless up appreciate your map Next question came from my guy Dominique. He said what's up engraving another close game lost a game We could have put away but didn't down in the red zone We found no capabilities off of opportunities and too many field goals when we needed touchdowns My question is when we got in the red zone, what do you think the problem was was a play calling execution or a combination of a little Bit of everything that drive when we kept giving it to Murray. We should have just kept giving it to him and scored Yeah, down in the red zone. They just they just stopped they just they just really stopped and I think it was a mix of a few things the thing play calling just seem to be off I was like I was wondering why I They they just weren't letting Tyler Huntley throw like on there was a run on first down like from first like I think the two-yard line something like that, but There was a run on first down. I was okay. They ran on first down. Okay, cool Whatever, but then they ran it on second down to him like no, what why did you do that? I didn't understand that especially with the situation at hand. You're trying to score you need to score It was just like weird It was really weird and then going against The name is blanking. Oh von Miller um There was some whiffs by Patrick McCurry where von Miller just like oh, I'm going right past you and For the Ravens to consistently run like right at Aaron Donald. It just I Don't know some stuff just be so crazy man. It's like how how how is this even? Going down, but that's that's been this season in a nutshell and he also said I think this lost It put a damper in our playoff hopes But all we had to do is take care of our own business and we fumbled the bag again We need help from other teams and one is for Jacksonville to beat the coach And I don't think that's happening So my question is who on the team as a player were you most disappointed in this season and who as a coach? Were you most disappointed in this seat? Oh my goodness. What a question? Wow? My second question is what changes would you like to see happen? Oh? Wow this we could do a whole episode on this Question alone, but anyway, which player was our most disappointed in this season. Um, hmm Player Wow, I Guess overall Maybe Sammy Watkins and it's like a weird disappointment. It's because with Sammy Watkins He started off strong Started off hot being very involved or whatnot, but it ended up being the same thing that a lot of chiefs fans talked about Bill's fans and like stuff that we talked about too when the Ravens first started flirting with Sammy Watkins injuries Injuries and I know a lot pretty much everybody on the Ravens been hurt this year, but injuries But it seems as if once he first got injured Um That was like the beginning of the end. It's like we never heard from Sammy Watkins again Because he started off in the Raiders game had a really big catch in the Raiders game Made some plays in the Chiefs game And I know he did slip and then that slip ended up being a pick six But I made some plays in the Chiefs game and then of course in the Lions game had that big catch on fourth and 19 It's like all right. Let's go and then It's like once he got hurt That was it that would seem like that was the end of his season because you just never really heard from him like that again And I mean he did catch the one touchdown. I think that was in the Steelers game I want to say yeah, that wasn't a Steelers game because then they went for two right after anyway it was just that that was the beginning of the end and I I Just expected a little bit more from Sammy Watkins. I and then the culture they really stopped putting him on the field at that point And I mean I could understand why too because you saw Rashad Bateman and Sammy Watkins was supposed to help usher in This new regime of Ravens wide receivers Um, so I'm sure you've done a lot like off the field probably coached him up and stuff probably gave him some advice and whatnot um, but this is why I uh I said when we were first off flirting with Sammy Watkins when we this first the rumors about Possibly that the Ravens possibly signing him. This is exactly why I said The Ravens cannot put all their eggs into that one Sammy Watkins basket We know he can play we know he can catch we know he can run We know he can ball But we don't know if he can stay healthy and that's been the biggest question mark biggest question mark I remember so many chiefs fans a couple in particular Well one in particular um a couple in particular talking about They were like, oh, yeah, Sammy Watkins. He good for a couple games and then he good for the playoffs But regular season don't count on it was like, oh, yeah, that's kind of the expectation um But somebody calling like six games Sammy or something like that, uh, to where you get a good six games out of him, but that'll be it um So yeah, and that that was it and then the dolphins game. He he wasn't fully healthy I don't think he was fully healthy in that dolphins game to where he caught the ball And then the fumble the fumble return for a touchdown is it's just been um underwhelming it started off like Oh, yeah, oh, let's go, but then it ended off like oh man, oh no Um, and as far as the the coach that I'm most disappointed in this season I would probably say John Harbaugh and the reason I would say John Harbaugh is because of um, I just feel the the the the unnecessary There was a lot of unnecessary stuff that was done this year, uh, especially in against the Browns and the Steelers and the Packers um With all the the the two point conversions is just Just a lot of unnecessary stuff. Um, and that ended up now the Ravens. Hey I know some people be like, oh well. Hey, if the Ravens if the Ravens um If the Ravens went to overtime they still could have lost and they could have But those all those two point conversions they took away that opportunity Well, not the Browns game because they got the onside kickback miraculously Uh, but they yeah, they still lost but and then it just situation of situation of football has just it's just been been bad this year It's been bad. Um, and I just that that's what I would be the most disappointed in because You know the situation at hand, you know, your roster is depleted. You know this and you know that but For him to put the team in those positions I know. Hey, if it would have worked It would have worked. I still wouldn't like the call. I would have been glad that it worked But I still wouldn't like the call. Um, I just didn't feel like it was the smartest thing to do Um, and and and for it to happen time and time and then time again, I was like, well, I it just it it was crazy it was crazy to see and um, it it just and also too with the uh with the decision making of the roster like Uh with the handling of the roster. That's been another thing that I've been been very disappointed in um, like with uh with tyson williams We know our running game this year pretty much a wash But because we lost jk and we lost gus and we lost justice here Um, and we even had a banged up luma for the longest and then we lost luma But still to to have tyson williams just there Just there and you see like davante freeman. The more davante freeman has been getting carries He's been looking better and better as the season has went along Latavius murray He didn't really start looking better until ben cleveland got in the lineup ben cleveland got in the lineup Latavius murray been looking better But tyson williams just been there Getting nothing being active a lot of game days, but getting nothing and it's like This is a running bag that you know could give you a spark You know not now latavius murray. He hasn't fumbled davante freeman Him and luma had like one fumble early in the season then he ain't fumbled the ball either So they've been holding on to the ball for sure, which is great but That the there's that Explosiveness uh, latavius murray, he's not explosive But um davante freeman. He has looked more explosive and more comfortable as the season went along But tyson williams gave you that explosiveness from jump Imagine if tyson williams could have been getting some decent carries and and he could have given you that explosiveness too And even when latavius murray was out and then they they did have a levy on bail, but he's not explosive tyson williams like he could have gave given you an opportunity and you could have worked with him Instead of just throwing him under the bus You could we're about the fumbles and stuff and about oh, yeah, it's running back. You know how to you need to know How to pick up blocks you need to know what is that You could have worked with him On his but no they just threw him under the bus and just left him there So it was just is disappointing and then like Even this past week, uh, well, whenever you're watching this i'm recording this on january 4th So the game uh that we just lost against the rams where James pro shea has seven catches for 76 yards last game and yeah, it was in a blowout But he still had it. He still made it happen. So that's him. That's him getting into the rhythm So a lot of times guys will get into a rhythm in one game and they'll carry it over to the next game But then you have him inactive So that rhythm can't be carried over at all You just eliminate the chance of that period and I just Yeah, so it it would be him. I could go on more, but um, it would be him Uh, he said my second question is what changes would you like to see happen? I would just like to see this a philosophy shift a philosophy change Uh for the ravens and instead of all this ground and pound Run run run run run and play good defense. They need to air it out It's time to air it out because lamar's future is in jeopardy Depending on what the ravens do or what they don't do Speaking of the ravens and their philosophy next question came from my guy burt and he said greg roman Shouldn't he be fired? He had no solution to lamar being blitz for four weeks when every commentator could diagram the problem and solution His red zone plays are predictable every week one receiver disappears No one offered to help lamar with his lack of progressions Which cause receivers like brown and bateman to be open but get ignored and huntley's ability for the long passes is ignored obvious problem So should greg roman be fired? Well, he could be But what's that gonna solve? What's that gonna solve because it's this is why I say philosophy change Because hobo would just hire another guy And it would we had the same conversation all over again Same conversation all over again He would hire a guy that either failed as a head coach Or a guy that doesn't have it that that is not going to be considered to be a head coach And we it it would just be the same thing over again So should greg roman be fired? Hey, yeah, that'd be cool. Okay, but What's going to be the solution at that point? I just I don't have much faith in this organization to to make the right decision when it comes to that I hope that things change But my expectations that they are very low when it comes to this situation next question Well statement came from zoe. He said sean wade would be nice wouldn't he lol? He's so petty. We must believe to achieve next question came from my guy riko He said what's up in graven? Hope all is well with you in the fair I know we are short-handed, but why must they keep putting via? Via nuova on the field. It's clear that he is not a good fit He his nickname for me is vanilla wafer But in all seriousness the line is the big problem when that ball is snapped. So in graven Why man, why haven't they benched him yet and let patrick rickard take his spot lol? Or just kidding on that part. Okay, because boy, you scared me with that one at first, man. You did Um, they they may feel like they don't have any anything that's better They they they could feel that way. Um But yeah with via nuova Yeah, it's been rough It's been rough this year. This hasn't been a great year for him. Um, but I just I don't expect him to be back next year But I We will see but I yeah, I don't expect him to be back next year They could keep him for insurance for just in case for ronnie stanley just in case for just really the offensive line period But you could also go a lot of other routes with the left tackle right tackle too Um, so we'll see but you um Like I feel like they they they got to the point like well where they might have felt like all right Well, who who's gonna be better than big al next question came from lish said, what's up in graven sending blessings to you and your family starting off 2022 with a bang This isn't so much a question But I had a feeling that the ravens were going to be in a slump eventually during the season So I got to get this off my chest. I've been a boss more ravens fan for at least 15 plus years and we have always been a solid team regardless of any situation we put in The only thing missing is faith and I still have it for some odd reason play calling and coaching has been consistent Not pretty nor explosive but consistent to where we are put in tough situations that we came short Uh of but we only seem to see when we don't succeed Nor consider the fact that this team is doing what it has been doing for years The whole season was over before it started and for some reason I don't think all that work was put in just for us to fall short What if we make a run in the playoffs? What would be the narrative with the organization players coaches trainers medical staff, etc Um, that'd be nice That'd be nice. And I would love to see that happen I would I would love to see that happen. But I mean we won't know till we know Uh, but what what what would be the uh What would be the narrative? It would be that a despite all those people getting hurt despite all those bad decisions that had been made Despite all those questionable decisions that have been made despite a lot of plays that got left on the field despite so much They were able to overcome that
