We inching engine closer to 75 Okay, we'll be there soon enough but subscribe to the channel turn notifications on and run them likes all the way up Because this first question to get us started It called me for a loop cuz when I first saw the email, I saw the title of the email. That's a mad Jude on what Was that coming from but then I saw from late to work. They brought it up because I believe bleacher report They were the first few people to bring up the possibility of the Baltimore Raven Let's just get into it first question came from Tammy. She said what are your thoughts on one Matt Jude on? Possibly returning to Baltimore Matt Jude on you know what's crazy Matt Jude on he left the Baltimore Ravens and He went on with the Patriots to be a just a pretty very very productive very productive The team wasn't all that but he was very very productive Let's look at his numbers after he left but Baltimore Ravens only been a couple Two years and a half cuz he was hurt a lot a lot of last year But anyway, the first year he left the Baltimore Ravens 2021 He had 12 and a half sex and then the following year in 2022 he had 15 and a half sex So with as a past Russian now sacks are not everything they not but for you to get 12 and then 15 and a half Oh, you know what you're doing you you you don't get 15 and a half sacks by chance No, you got to be a skilled player and one thing with the Baltimore Ravens one thing that we know Especially with wink like when was cool wing was solid wing was straight But wink was not the best at getting the most out of our guy Now was wink even with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 though 2020 that was COVID year did we have wink back then I want to say we did but I don't remember for sure 2022 we had that's Mike McDonald's first year and 2023 was Mike McDonald's second year obviously That's when he was just even more amazing than he was in the first year So, yeah, we had to have had wink in 2020 and 2021. So, yeah, so okay I'm pretty sure that was somebody correct me if I'm wrong though cuz y'all know sometimes I will be loud and wrong on here But anyway Matt Jude on It should the Baltimore Ravens bring him back. What about the possibility of bringing Matt Jude on back? The Baltimore Sun they touched on it And like I said, they went a little bit deep as far as the cap hit the cap. It will be a 7.5. It will be 7.5 meal that is a That's a decent cap hit, but um, they talked about the possibilities Matt Jude on he's about to be 32 years old Matt Jude on last year. He's coming off for injury Matt Jude on is on a team that looks like they are in rebuild mode when the New England pay Well, they are in rebuild mode. They ain't got their quarterback They traded Mac Jones, so I think the Jacksonville Jaguar so he could back up Trevor Lawrence They are gonna be drafting really high. They just the team. That's just They lost right now. They don't know their way right now. So they got to find their quarterback. They they got a Bill Belichick ain't he ain't the head coach anymore. So, yeah, they go through some big transitions of big changes So Matt Jude on could be like, you know what you could be looking around like This is the place for me. I really don't but then um, so with them being in rebuild mode That could make it a little easier for the Baltimore Ravens to possibly Trade for a Matt Jude on if that's somebody that they would want to acquire then you think about their pass rush situation right now It's a big big question mark big question mark and you think like Under Mike McDonald he got the most out of the Baltimore Ravens pass rush now Imagine if we still had Mike McDonald and then we were able to get a Matt Jude on that Okay, but was that or it's a lot of unknowns right now with him But with him I would expect we don't know yet But I would expect him to take a lot of what Mike McDonald did and continue to incorporate that with the Baltimore Ravens moving forward But again, we will see soon But with Matt Jude on This would help that outside linebacker that would help that department a lot because it will give you somebody that's proven So especially proven over the past couple years might get minus last year because he was hurt But somebody that can get the job done somebody's obviously comfortable in Baltimore I mean Marlon Humphrey and Jack settlement. They just had him on a punchline podcast a couple days ago So but so he's still cool with a lot of guys on the team and whatnot and then when Matt Jude on left It wasn't there was no bad blood He ain't leave on them leaving on no bad terms. No, no, it wasn't nothing like that So I do think that that could be a real possibility a little reunion, so to speak I know a lot of Ravens fans. They was thinking about a reunion with Hollywood Brown Especially with Odell Beckham junior leaving it, but then there were a lot of Ravens fans. I was like, no, I don't want Hollywood But anyway, um, so I could I could see that happen. I do think that is a realistic Scenario with Matt Jude on coming back Back to what we were talking about with the edge position. It's a lot of question marks that I fail way Good run defender as far as past rush. We're still waiting on him to just Be that guy at the past rush as a past Russia. Excuse me With a doubt fail way. He comes close a lot. He comes real close But just there's been an issue finishing a lot of time. They've been an issue starting too But with a doubt fail way as far as run defense. He's pretty good with that setting the edge He's pretty good with that so that those are good qualities that he has But as far as a past rush, we got some work to do So hey, this this could be the year where he takes off but um, and then opposite him you got David a job, oh and with David a job, oh, I've got continued to say and I will continue to say Well, I hope that he breaks out. I hope that he goes off. I hope that this is his year But at the same time find the Baltimore Ravens, I can't be like I David a job Oh, you're gonna be all got we're gonna trust you because The unfortunate matter I mean the circumstance the situation is that you cannot trust him because of the injuries you can't you hope that he Surprises you you hope that it's all a job there goes a job. Well, let's go But he's just been hurt so much. So if somebody's been hurt a lot especially early in their career significantly You cannot be like I you are gonna be our main guy at whatever position it may be So with Matt Jude on it is actually a trace not just one of these trade scenarios where it's like a dream scenario Even though those are my favorite. I love thinking about those. I love thinking about the possibilities Even when they're not realistic, but this is one that I really do think it's very realistic next question came from the key I see the laser team keep it clean taking over. Let's go anyway. She said what's up? They keep it clean. This isn't a question, but I just had a thought about something Just imagine the offense is in pistol formation project pat lined up behind the tackle there Henry FF fullback and when Keaton Mitchell gets healthy He's at running back as a former collegiate linebacker not gonna lie to you That's a lot to deal with LL. I can just see it now NFL will make up a rule just for the Ravens So the Kia is Thinking about some glitchy type stuff some cheat code type stuff some stuff that the Baltimore Ravens actually did when they had Was it Gus Edwards and I think it was Gus Edwards patch of record and Keaton Mitchell on the field at the same time They they didn't bring it out too much But when they brought it out it worked literally every single time But thinking about a scenario with project Pat and Derek Henry as the lead block us for Keaton Mitchell Key Mitchell, please get well soon so we can make this a reality How will the Ravens take advantage of the new league rules next mention came from Carlton He said what's up in Graven? Hope you and the family are doing amazing I hope you're doing even amazing girl even though that's not a word, but you get what I'm saying Anyway said as we prepare for what I think may be The weirdest but most entertaining season coming up as a Ravens fan How do you feel about the hip drop tackle being penalized now and with our new addition Derek Henry? Oh, that could be like that's something that obviously the defenders they can't they can't do nothing as As a defender in the NFL you literally cannot do anything You cannot even sneeze on an offensive player without getting a 15-yard penalty. You can't do anything You can't With the hip drop tackle it's tough, man It's tough because that's the tackle where you grab somebody and you just you drive them hips You drop your hips and that pulls them down it can make the land awkwardly I know we've seen of course Mark Andrews And we've seen others other other people get hurt from it too, but I mean it's football It's football people gonna get hurt from anything people can get hurt from non-contact injuries Football is a contact sport. It is a very physical sport. So people are going to get hurt regardless What the hip drop tackle that's something that goes in the Ravens favor for players like Derek Henry Because it's like what do you do to stop him? How do you stop him? Like Nikia just mentioned in the previous question. You got the offensive line Then you got a pat record and then you got a deal with Derek Henry This dude might break his own two thousand y'all record. He really might Because with the hip drop tackle that whole thing defenders already it's already dangerous enough to be a defender Because you got to really think on your feet and then you could you got to make split second decisions And then you could overthink it and when you overthink it that could lead to some really bad But really bad execution and that's for anybody on offense or defense side of all but defenders They got a they get to do extra thinking all right if somebody coming across the middle Do I hit him high or do I hit him low? Do I hit him with my shoulder? Do I try to tap what like what do I do because I don't want to get penalized I don't want to get this 15-year opportunity for my team and cost my team and give up a first down What do I do it's got to be so frustrating for defenders to have to think about all that stuff That's a whole lot to deal with but anyway Carlton said we've seen enough in the past years that he is very top-heavy, but his legs You sound like John Hobart talking about David a job, I remember David a job will say the I mean John Hope I'll say David a job ahead chicken legs anyway He said so teams always shoot for his legs to take them down I mean that's a strategy right there with taking down somebody that's big you go for their legs Because if somebody big they tough they strong they are Diesel they cocky and all that you try to tackle them up high. Oh, that's a mistake They may be like get out my way move off of me you tackle them low You take them legs out you take their legs out then they gonna fall down. They can't do nothing So that's just that's not even necessarily a Derek Henry thing It's just a thing but anyway He said do you think the Ravens will benefit from this change and also the kickoff change since we have a head coach Known for his special teams and not man He said it do you think the Ravens will benefit from this change and also the kickoff change since we have a head coach known For special teams and not managing games. He says sorry still salty about the AFC Championship game now look Look look look look the FC Championship game. It was not all on Jonathan Harbaugh Some of it was execution too It was not just 1,000 to say oh coaching coaching coach coaching plays a big part for sure It really does but it was not all 1,000% on coaching but anyway, I Think as far as the kickoff change I would have loved if the Ravens signed somebody like Cordero Patterson to really try to take advantage of the kickoff Rule as much as possible even though it's like weird now So now they got a they got to change Madden to they got to update Madden So and I'm sure that they will but yeah, you can't really put the hip drop tackle in Madden, but anyway Back to the other thing I do think the Ravens will benefit from the change But they will also be hurt by the change because of their defenders if if one of their defenders ends up doing the hip drop Tackle I think right now the Bengals who's that lying back on the Bengals? Y'all know the one that in that Thursday night football Bengals game against the Ravens this dude literally injured Lamar he injured Mark Andrews and he injured one more person I forgot who it was, but he literally injured three different people Three different people all in the same game. I want to say the justice here, but I forgot who it was Is it I think it's the guy that had said something about Lamar like a couple years ago had Made headlines. I cannot remember his name right now But either way like that that's that's probably somebody who is going to be suffering in a league next year He probably gonna get a bunch of fines. He probably gonna be so upset. He gonna be like man. I'm tired of this I don't even want to play no more um because That's that was a hip drop king Because but anyway, um as far as the Baltimore Ravens again with players like Derek Henry We will offensive wise it'll help them but defensive I think Defenses around the league really suffer because of this next question came from TJ says so I've been watching the off season so far Disappointed as usual When engraving are the Ravens actually going to give Lamar a game changing play making unstoppable wide receiver Bateman No flowers Calm down and play and catch the ball anyways Jefferson out here catching the pass from sam garbage donald Terry mclauren catching passes from sam who now well, he got who traded Uh, I know not traded. Yeah, he got traded. Yeah, he got traded. I forgot where they traded sam howl to I think the seahawks I forgot them anyway He said Stefan digs can't catch a pass because josh everything Throwing everything to the other team Hey, he's a balsa more breed wide receiver What the team keep it clean is going on. I see what you did there, my friend. What about Devonte Adams? We're gonna wait until he a thousand years old before he try and get him He said i'm sick of the Ravens and their team keep it clean mediocre edc needs to go Hobbes needs to go They have destroyed the Ravens together since Ozzie stepped down We haven't won or done anything and we have straight up wasted Lamar Jackson all that god given talent He needs to leave the Ravens just as I did. I'm sorry But I don't see the Ravens ever win another Superbowl edc and Hobbs in control They need to go. Wow powerful words right there from my god tj But my god tj he is always very passionate about each and every one of his takes when it comes to our Baltimore Ravens. So you got to respect The feeling behind everything and the frustration behind it too now A couple of things here when would a Ravens? Uh, give Lamar a game changing playmaker at wire receiver. Well, he does have zay flowers. Zay flowers is that in my opinion He's a game changing playmaker at the wire receiver position despite what happened in the AFC championship with the fumble at the one That was tough man, but that That changed the game. So there you go. He's a game changer But no that um that play just made such a big difference Yeah, you you can't blame that on culture. But anyway, um With the uh with zay flowers. He is one of the worst out Bateman It's it's it's there They just they haven't gotten it out of him yet. Him and Lamar just not on the same page They get on the same page in my opinion. I think it's game over if them two could get on the same page, but Since they're not I would not be mad if Ravens still went and got somebody I still think I said this before I said I still think that they're gonna get another wide receiver um and whether that's through the draft or veteran, I think they could actually do both but um I still think I don't think they're done at the wide receiver department at all. I really don't um I just They're not going to go into the season with the guys who they got now So I still think they get somebody of some significance Not just a plug-in wire seal. Oh here. We'll just get this guy just to say we get no no I think they'll get somebody of some significance at the wide receiver position um now you talked about You're sick of the Ravens and mediocre Eric Dacasa. He said he needs to go. He said hard needs to go They've destroyed the Ravens all together together since Ozzy stepped down We are now that part. I I disagree with that. Oh now you did say, um, they straight up wasted Lamar Jackson All that god-given talent now um For his his rookie year, they didn't waste that because he wasn't the start of them His second year, I they didn't waste that in my opinion because they didn't know what they were going to get So his second year in NFL his first full season starting I don't think they wasted that because they didn't know who Lamar Jackson was He came on the scene destroyed everything that boy killed it there. Yeah one of mvp unanimous mvp Should have had two unanimous mvps But that one guy from buffer or not from buffalo, but who voted for josh allan anyway, um But the third year Third year, I do agree. They they didn't go in like they should have fourth year. I agree. They didn't go in like they should have fifth year They didn't go in like well, you know, you know what? No, no one of those years Whatever year that they they got sammy walkings and they had hollywood and they got Rasha Bateman That year, I don't think that they wasted but Did everybody's getting hurt left and right that year? So that that was that was here where the roster was good But then after that it was like, uh, but then uh this last year. I mean last year great job edc Amazing. That's when he earned my trust. That's when I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, this dude. He got it and With you saying that you feel like edc should go and they're never gonna win a super bowl as long as edc and hubs are here If you say that about hubs, I can see why he said it but with edc I disagree reason I disagree is because eredicosa you look at last year The Baltimore Ravens not making it to the Super Bowl was absolutely no fault of eredicosa's at all he built this team Better than good and way better than good enough to get to the Super Bowl and to win it The way that he built this team was amazing. He did a phenomenal job building the Baltimore Ravens roster last year And the fact that they came up showing the afc championship has literally nothing to do with eredicosa whatsoever This team was amazing as we saw in the regular season This team had it. They had it all They had it and they had depth. They had great starters. They had great depth And we we saw it all throughout the year people would get hurt the team would not fall off People would be injured the team would not drop off eredicosa did his part but um The rest of everybody they came up short So I disagree with you on the eredicosa part as far as John Harbaugh It's weird man. It's a very weird thing. It's a weird thing because regular season We ain't worried about regular season. We know regular season They're gonna get the job done. We know the Raven's gonna get the job done as long as Le Mans playing Uh, and they got that key got they're gonna get the job done playoffs as we're all concerned is playoffs Is where this team just they they get really weird They get very like even in the hueson game even in the hueson game Where they beat the hueson texas down after after that first half it was like, whoa, who are these raven? Okay, maybe they're a little maybe they're a little rusty because they had a week off And they came out a second half and they just that's when they really took off. I was like, okay, there we go All right, let's let's bring that out next week, too Um, then next week came against the chiefs and it was like who are these guys One of my guys jt brought up a really good point because we talk about all the time the ravens only ran the ball Like six times with their running backs, but he talked about how maybe the ravens running backs were losing opportunities because of a lack of good pass protection by the running backs Um, so that was something that I would have to really watch the game over to look at but I ain't watching that game over again. I I have not watched Any like I'd have not rewatched that game at all. I didn't really watch the hueson texas game Like I remember before before I was somebody who used to really Uh, watch a lot of ravens highlights and stuff from the games and all I don't do that anymore I don't know why well, maybe because we just talk about it so much and the highlights like oh, maybe we didn't talk about this So much so maybe we don't feel like a but I just I don't do that anymore. I don't know why but anyway, um Yeah, as far as Hobbs, it's it's it's weird. It's weird But it's because it's like, you know, again regular season. We're gonna be straight We know he could do he could do his thing in regular season They could do that thing in regular season But it's post season where it's weird now We're post season something we got to remember only one team wins it all Only one team wins it all every year and right now that the annual team has been the kansas city chiefs They've been winning everything. They are the new Patriots new patriots um So ravens got to figure out a way to beat them like just just had like john hobble He took care of business against jim hobble and like oh big brother beat little brother. Just saying we were andy reed and john hobble John hobble came from andy reed and every time that john hobble go against andy reed just about come up short Come on short. Well chiefs andy reed. He come up short I know we beat the chiefs What was that 2021 I think Whatever year that was and that In week two that game was a middle of the week two week three one of the two I forgot but that game was amazing I love that game. That was one of my favorite games In a lamar jackson era because it was special man. It was how we beat the chiefs But all other games. No, we lost We lost and we lost so many different ways in one game. We got whooped I think that was 2020 where we just got whooped. That's the one where nobody was in the stadium I think ten is another game where the first game was club. Anyway, we talk about that later um, it seemed as if john hobble just Well, really the team not even just john hobble the team they they shrink they they crumble when it comes to the chiefs They got to figure that out And if they gonna figure that out under hobble Hey, it needs to happen this year It should have happened last year, but it needs to happen this year I would say if it doesn't happen this year, even though we said this before but if it doesn't happen this year Then yeah, big changes need to go
