 No, it was funny the other day because one of my guys, he sent me a DM on Instagram and he was like, I hate engraving. Would you rather the Ravens trade for DeAndre Hopkins or trade for Vikings defensive end, DeNeal Hunter? And I thought about it for a minute, but then I was like, you know what? Me being the annoying person that I am, I said, you know, get this. I would rather them trade for DeNeal Hunter. Reason being because they ain't got a trade for DeHop. He's a free agent, so they could sign him and trade for DeNeal Hunter. So give me both. And he was like, oh, okay, I got you. But anyway, today's first question. It came from my guy, Jordan, and he said engraving the GM. Ooh, that'd be dangerous, man. You think EDC going crazy at Y Receiver? All right, let me mess around and be the GM. Anyway, he said, first off, glad you and the fam are feeling better. Hey, I appreciate that, man. I don't know if something will happen by the time you do this question. You're good. We had that point of the season. With the money left in the cap, would you rather sign DeAndre Hopkins to a one to two year deal, trade for DeNeal Hunter and eventually extend him, or, oh, okay, what's this all right here? I thought it was just gonna be between those two. Or trade for an additional corner for the slot and sign Justin Houston. Ooh, okay, okay. Well, cross that last one out for me. Not that that's a bad idea at all, but no, I'm crossing that last one out. I'm whether it's giving all Darius Washington a shot, Caillou, Blue, Kelly, Pepe Williams, somebody gonna emerge as that slot corner, and they gonna hold it down. Somebody, Jalen Alma Davis, I mean, Raven's got a lot of options back then. I know so many people have been like corner, corner, corner, we need more corners, and I get it, trust me, I do. But if we're talking another significant investment, I'm probably not gonna go corner. But again, that's just me. That's just my opinion, so it is what it is. So scratch the last one out for me, especially if I gotta choose between these three. Now, you said would you rather sign D-Hop to a one to two year deal, or trade for DeNeal Hunter and extend them, or, okay, so, this is me. So I know logic would say defensive end. And I get it, DeNeal Hunter, nice win, healthy. If we throwing health concerns out the window, and like, hey, I know he had that neck problem a couple years back and whatnot that, ruining his season and whatnot, where the boy could play? He can play, but this is me. He said engraving the GM. So I'm going D-Hop. I'm going D-Hop. And the reason I'm going D-Hop, and I know a lot of people gonna be, are you crazy man? And a lot of people, a lot of y'all don't know me. Y'all don't know my answer before you even watch this part of the video. So, I love y'all. I know what it makes more sense to go for the defensive end. Anybody that picked DeNeal Hunter ain't gonna be mad at it. I get it. It's DeNeal Hunter, and that will give you a proven thing at defensive end, alongside with a Jabbo and a Doff Fairway, as pass ruggers and Tyus Bowser, and the Rookie as well. So that will give you a short thing. And that's smart, and I get it. But for me, with D-Hop, with the Ravens receivers, it's question marks there too. I'm sure our baby could be nice. It's healthy. Oh, they'll back in junior, it'd be nice. It's healthy. And Zay Flowers, I feel like he gonna be straight too. I mean, he gotta prove it in the NFL, but I feel like he gonna be nice too. But with the Andre Hopkins, it gives us another short thing. And it would really be kind of overkill. But at the same time, I'll be like, hey, Lamar, you deserve overkill, because it's been underkill for years. It really has been. But then at the same time, if the indefensible offense, I would be like, hey, that last GM, he was cool, he was cool. But I really wanna deliver on this indefensible offense. Like he wanted to. Like he said he wanted to. I really wanna take this thing to a whole nother level. And if the Ravens have all that hole, oh, it's only one ball to go around. Yeah, I get it. But also it's only one team that wins a Super Bowl. So it's only one trophy to go around too. So if they started complaining, they start having that, oh, it's only one ball to go around, man. GM, it's only one ball to go around. It's only one trophy that it doesn't go around. It goes to one team and that's it. So I'm trying to get that trophy. So anyway, about that one ball going around. But if we have so many options and we really make up an offense, that is just crazy great. Not crazy good. Crazy great. That'll make it easy for the defense. That'll make it easier for Dauphine, that'll make it easier for all the passwords and stuff, it'll make it easy for all the corners. Because if we scoring all these points, we got so many weapons, we scoring all these points, putting up boatload of points every week, our defense looks even better. They look even better because it's easier. And with the defense right now, the way that they stand, it's not a thing about they're bad. It's not a thing about all corners are bad or edge rushes are bad. It's not that, it's they're unknown. That's what everybody tripping about. Well, at least it might be. And that's what I think I've been, I've been saying, it's not that, oh man, it was so bad here at corner. We're so bad at edge rushing. We're so bad. No, no, no, no. It's unknown. And I get that, that you would much rather a sure thing there than an unknown. But Ravens have done sure things on the defense for the longest. For me, I'm like, hey, I loved Ravens. Love what y'all done in the past. Well, some stuff I don't love that y'all did in the past. But this way, it ain't gonna be no unknowns on offense. So I'm going crazy with it. So my choice would obviously be the Andre Hopkins. But if you chose the Neil Hunter, I get it. Or even if you chose that third option, trading for the cornerback, I get it. But this is a fun way to start off questions from subscribers. Yeah, this feels like a dream. No jazz, but I'm made. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, I done made it. I done made it. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right in Graven? Right in Graven. Thank you, Biklin. Welcome to another episode of questions from, so every time I cut my hair, it always makes my forehead extra shiny. But anyway, what questions from subscribers is the series where you can ask any question you want to and we answer it in a video just like this. If you wanna be part of it, you can send an email to teamkeepitclean at gmail.com or for the team keep it clean patrons. Special shout out to all the team keep it clean patrons. newest team keep it clean patron, career, career and Zachary as I appreciate the both of y'all very, very much. But if you like to become a team keep it clean patron, you can go to patreon.com slash in Graven vids. So next couple of questions came from patrons. The first one from my guy Bids who been a patron for nine months. Appreciate you. He said, what's up in Graven? What do you think about a Mark Ingram reunion? I feel like he was the battery in Lamar's back in 2019 and will be a good vet to have in the backfield but wouldn't take away from JK and the buses shine. I mean, you better hope JK even still on a team to get some shine. By the way, things going for now. He should, well, I can't say he should because you know the business could be crazy, man. Especially when people with votes get to complain him. And hey, if JK requests a trade, y'all know what that means. Well, hey, if JK, if he does, I know I'm not saying he did but if he does, you know, Eric, okay, bye, see ya. Because Eric, the guy don't play about that. Look, hey, especially if you don't plan on resigning you, he gonna trade you. Look, look, it all ain't no brown Junior. He wasn't the first round pick, but still look at Hayden Hurst, he was first runner. Look at Hollywood Brown, he was the first round pick. Like, hey, if you requested, Eric the guy's gonna look the granite. Look at Chuck Clark. I mean, took them a year, but hey, look at Chuck Clark. So if JK requests a trade, he gonna go bye-bye, man. Eric the guy's gonna be like, all right, cool. Hey, appreciate you, thanks for everything. But all right, see ya. So anyway, he ain't requesting no trade yet at least. We'll see, you know that business, that it can get ugly, man. Hopefully he doesn't though. Because the team is better with JK than without. But anyway, Mark Ingram, no, I would not go for it. I mean, as a coach, yeah, hey, as a coach. But as a running back, no, that time has passed. And we loved Mark Ingram. We absolutely loved Mark Ingram. He was amazing, the vibe, the energy, all that was great. But now it's time to still go younger. Next question came from my guy, Martin, who been a patron for about two years. He said, this is a follow up to my last question I wasn't trying to say for people not to get hype for these videos, absolutely be hyped. I'm just saying not to be throwing tomatoes at the players when they aren't up to the hyped expectations. And what he's referring to on the last episode of Question From Subscribers, his question was a comment was talking about how he just, it frustrates him when he sees the Ravens, they put out these hype videos on these players and whatnot, and then the fans get all hyped about it. And then the fans start like really believing in this player and thinking that he's gonna do such an amazing job and having such an amazing season. But then when he don'ts, I mean, I just said when he don'ts, when he doesn't, then fans are like, oh, this guy sucks. He's terrible, he's this, he's that. So that's what he's referring to. And our response was, hey, still get hyped off of the video, just great. But yeah, you never wanna be say, oh, this guy sucks because these guys are in the 1%, they make it to the league for a reason. And it does, it can be tough when you start really believing in a player and then it just, it doesn't end up working itself out. And it could be for a number of different situations and reasons and whatnot, but these guys, they work really, really hard to get where they are. So you gotta respect them for that alone. But anyway, he said, I know it's the Ravens media job to make these hype videos is obviously what they get paid to do. And yes, it would be very stale if they didn't put out anything at all. I just think maybe the way they do it could be better. Some of the players I think they pick are better in practice than on game day. That part that annoys me is fans getting angry that these players aren't performing up to their expectations that the fans have been hyped up to. The main problem is obviously the fans that go too far and start trashing these players even though they have been led to believe that they are that guy or whatever the case may be. So I know this was a long way of explaining that, but I think the structure of the hype videos could be better. Let's have a little bit more respect for all of these hardworking guys. Stay hydrated, stay and keep it clean. Appreciate that morning. And I mean, but even with that, what would you want them to do with the hype videos? Because again, that's what they are. They're hype videos. They're videos to get you hype for the season, to get you excited for what's to come. And yeah, sometimes a player is better in practice than on the field. Sometimes a player is better on the field than in practice, in a game than in practice. So I mean, it's, I don't really feel like Ravens could really do anything about that. Like, are they only gonna show, all right, we're only gonna show Lamar make plays in practice. We're only gonna show Mark Andrews. We're only gonna show Shaw Bateman and Beckham. We're only gonna show JK. Like if they just pick and choose the guys who they only show, they could do that. And if they only like picked and choose proven guys, they could do that. But what about the guys who haven't proven themselves yet? What if they need a little confidence boost? Well, what if they could be a little secret weapon and Ravens actually use them as a secret weapon? Like, I just, like you mentioned, this is more just a fan thing, I think than it is a Ravens thing. Cause they, there's nothing they could really do about the, or they could do something, but it wouldn't make any sense if they changed the way that they do the hype videos. But then he also said, I think sports illustrated hates Lamar Jackson. Last month, they were writing articles that coaches were upset Lamar wasn't a voluntary workout. Now they are writing articles about the Ravens regretting signing Lamar Jackson. I mean, I was talking to somebody about this the other day. Oh, I think it was my guy, Trust Nas. So I got to have him on the channel sometime soon too, but yeah, I was on his channel the other day. And he was like, oh, how do you feel about the narratives about Lamar Jackson, especially the ones before he got his deal and whatnot? And I was like, hey, a lot of narratives got killed, but there's always gonna be narratives with Lamar Jackson. People are gonna say something regardless. But like before it was like, all right, he can't get a deal. He's not gonna be able to sign a deal. He needs an agent. He ain't gonna be able to do this on his own. He did it. Then people are like, oh, okay, well, the Ravens, they're gonna regret signing him. He ain't earning money. It's always gonna be something where Lamar Jackson, no matter what. If they say, hey, Lamar Jackson can't get here. If he gets here, they're gonna be like, all right, well, he can't get here then. It's always going to be something regardless. And that's unfortunate, but it is what it is. He said in the article, they talk about Lamar Jackson handcuffing the team, but they don't mention the Ravens or sources at all saying anything about regretting. Signing Lamar, which if anything, I feel the Ravens are the complete opposite right now. I think they are very happy they got the Lamar deal done. Oh, I'm sure they're very relieved too, because that was quite a process. I don't know, I just don't understand why people try to use others to project their own feelings instead of just saying what they think. Because a lot of people don't like accepting responsibility for what they say. They don't like accepting responsibility for their actions. And they try, if they feel a certain way, like you mentioned, they'll try to use somebody else to try to get their point across. Because they may be afraid that when they're wrong, they don't want to backlash themselves. And then our last question on this special episode of Questions From Souls came from my boy Kevin, but he said, this is insane, man. And Raven has everything going. Everything is going good, my friend. He said, I hope all is well. This is insane. OBJ 2014, Nelson Aguil 2015, Laquantre 2016, Bateman 2021, Zay Flows 2023, all first round picks. Never seen five first rounders on the same team at the same position. This is insane, man. Hey, it is. But, you know something else that was insane? The way that Ravens did why I received it before this year. So anyway, he said DHOP would be six in 2013. So hey, Ravens, if you want to keep at him, keep at him. I don't just what I mean.
