Let's keep this thing moving This episode is just gonna be me So it does sometimes kind of feel weird when I do questions from subscribers and it's just me now Because we enjoy having a guest on a lot shout out to everybody That's been on already as a guest for question from subscribers and there will be more to come and there will be some repeat offenders So some people gonna come back to But I enjoy it man. I enjoyed and I just I love it So I love y'all we got some fire questions as we always do Let's do it first question came from a boy rainmaker. He said a engraving. Hope all is well in the land of the Florida Ravens Hey, I'm with it, man. Anyway, he's I got a question for you Do you think it's time to make a move for veteran past Russia? Ryan Kerrigan just signed with Philadelphia one past Russia off the board now I hope we make a move for either Houston or Ingram We need a veteran past Russia who opposing offenses have to account for and also give our new players time to develop I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter. Oh and like Ryan Kerrigan is with the Washington football team. I'm out Hey, um Is it time I think so but what the Ravens are doing I think the Ravens are just waiting and they're waiting and they're waiting and waiting and waiting Because every day that them past Russia's continue to be out there Bryce keeps on dropping and you know, the Ravens love them cheap deals Ravens. They don't shop at Target Raven shop at places like big lots Walmart and I mean, I shop in those places, too But Ravens when it comes to spending that money, they try to find the best bang for their buck and they look for the cheapest possible Deal, especially when it comes to free agents. So with Melvin Ingram, he visited the Dolphins yesterday Well, I'm recording this video on Tuesday, May 25th Melvin Ingram visited the Dolphins yesterday. Of course, like you mentioned Ryan Kerrigan. He is off the board now He's gone So that leaves Justin Houston Melvin Ingram Olivier Vernon So you still got a couple of options. So even if Melvin Ingram ends up signing with the Miami Dolphins You still have some options out there and again so far It's worked out with the whole Justin Houston thing because y'all remember and I am not afraid and afraid to admit it And I'd still go by it But if I felt like the Raven should have been signed Justin Houston So I feel like there was a chance that somebody else could pick him up And if there's a player right there and it's a good player and you know that player can make your team better You grab him. You don't worry about them complex, but Raven said no, no, no, we straight We're gonna wait and they waited and he still hasn't been signed yet. What the holdup is I ain't got no clue But I do think it's time that the Raven signed a pass rusher because right now I know you ain't just gonna rely on the rookies and what we got Because the rookies will kill of course Daelyn Hayes and Adafi away I mean, that would be something there and then of course, there's Tyus Bowser. There's pernil McPhee There's Jaylen Ferguson That would be something if they roll with that Like the they would turn from the Baltimore Ravens to from the Florida Ravens to the risky Ravens And if they just roll with the young boys that that would be something right there now And speaking of young boys My guy Rainmaker said I was just watching the new guys get their official jerseys away is wearing number 99 Maybe if he gets on the road this year his nickname could be 99 problems or the problem. Maybe it will stick Let's just hope he plays well. I can see the Ravens playing that Jay Z song when he gets to set We'll probably have to do a team keeping clean version though Yeah, make sure that thing is edited man Uh, but yeah, man, I do to sum it up. I do think that it is time Uh, but the Ravens have shown that they can actually still take their time and There's still got options out there. Next question came from my boy Gareth He said ain't graven. What undrafted rookie free agents. Do you think will make the 53 man roster? Thanks for everything that you have done really appreciate you and that's my question hashtag team keeping clean Shout out to my guy Gareth, man um I I really do the biggest one that I think has an opportunity Uh would be Ardarius Washington because the safety position nothing is set in stone Except for the starters. That's literally the the only ones who are safe so to speak Uh, the Sean Elliott and Chuck clock. That's it beyond that literally nobody is safe Not Anthony Levine not Jordan riches not Gino stone Nobody is safe So Ardarius Washington being a safety being a young safety than being a cheap safety He has a big opportunity here if he turns enough heads in practice and turns enough heads in training camp He could end up making the roster. He really could And he would cost less than all of they signed Gino stone to a one-year deal Excuse me. They signed Anthony Levine to a one-year deal. They signed Jordan riches to a one-year deal. What do one-year deals mean? means you're expendable It means that you you're not a long-term investment It means that the ravens or any team that signs you to a one-year deal They could move on anytime that they want to and there would be minimal financial harm So I think it would be Ardarius Washington Next question came from a boy general bomb 16 and shout out to him because I always see him in the comment sections I appreciate you man. He said ain't graven. It's been a while since I submitted a question Just didn't have much to say but I might do another 53 man roster prediction this year All right, he said hope you and the family are doing well now on to my topic for today trading with the Falcons Oh, yes, this is a good one. He said now. This is kind of a bait, but it's not really hoolio related Oh, it's about hating hearse. Oh, okay. You got me You you really got me because I was thinking. Okay. Let's keep going He said what would a proposed trade such as a third or fourth rounder plus boykin in exchange for hearse back Be an interesting plan One thing is one thing is that this could all be packaged along with a hoolio deal Where we get hoolio and hearse for boykin a first and some picks But stand on just boykin and hearse for now The falcons would probably like to keep hearse as part of their two tight end sets But with only one year left on hearse deal and after losing the second round picked to us The falcons may want some compensation back in the form of a third or a fourth rounder The addition or the added addition of boykin gives him a two-year player on a rookie contract that is pretty raw But we regular fans have seen the flashes and the change the scenery may help him with the higher volume of targets That he hasn't gotten in baltimore That's a good point too Uh, because yeah, we're boykin that we know he could we know he can do some stuff We we know he we know that he is capable of a lot But with the ravens, it's a far and few opportunity with boykin So it's it's hard for him to sort of get into a rhythm and hit that stride Uh, but anyway, he said, uh, there's also the added benefit in the fact that there's a high chance We don't keep seven wide receipts. Then they're not they they ain't keep there's no way to keeping those seven wide receivers Between pro shape and boykin boykin right now is just the number one blocking while receiving number five outside threat Pro shape I would say is decent and can be better at both slot and outside and is also a very good second returner for the team With trust already in the coaching staff So instead of cutting boykin or pro shape and losing them to waivers when we want them on a practice squad I think that's how it works Yeah, that is they were at least a player and hope that nobody picks them up Like you said on waivers and then they could sign them back to the practice squad. So you're right about that So instead of doing that They keep pro shape and get a player back in return for boykin and a pick for a very good player In Hearst to reunite with the three headed monster at tight end The Falcons after losing Julio can get back a pick for Hearst and get back boykin Who has a the body frame to where he can possibly develop into a solid number two a number three Wide receiver that can be utilized in Arthur Smith's scheme to block as a big body wide receiver Whoo, this was something right here. Um I don't see it happening though I don't see it happening Because Hearst Hearst, I mean the Falcons they obviously got Hearst's contract. They got his rights or whatever But Hearst wouldn't want to come back here And I don't see the Ravens For somebody that they gave up to acquire picks. I don't see them giving picks up to acquire that person back Ravens usually they don't usually do too many reunions Especially trade like okay. We traded you away. Let's trade back for you They don't normally do that now having Hayden Hearst here would be great It would be great But I think right now it's just it's just gonna be a dream and it's gonna remain that way Now if the Ravens traded with somebody else from the Falcons No, I wouldn't mind that and it's crazy because before if y'all remember months ago months before free agency started Well, not months because the season ended in like February But before free agency started when there were initially rumors about Julio Jones being on the outs in Atlanta We did a question from subscriber video and I was just like no I just nope But that was when I thought it may be a worth the first round pick to acquire Julio because I was like no I wouldn't give up a first rounder for Julio. I wouldn't and even for a second round. I was like Maybe but then for a third, okay, that wouldn't be so bad It might be a second but third third and lower that that'll be much better Um, because Julio was older. You've been banged up a lot. Oh, but now My tune on that head. Well, my tune hasn't changed because I don't even think anybody's gonna give up a first rounder for Julio And of course the story came out that The Falcons wanted a first rounder for Julio, but nobody bit on that and now it's out there that the Falcons They won a second rounder, but you know what that means when it's publicly out there that the team wants a certain draft pick That means they're trying they're trying for that that pick But they know that most likely nobody's gonna give that up So now I'm with them getting Julio all day Because you wouldn't have to give up a first rounder. You wouldn't have to give up a second rounder It starts at at the third it starts in the third so Julio is there for the taking now man, and again what what he would do for this team man He would take us like we improved or a wide receiver group improved Uh, but he would give us that known factor that like you know Julio you like you know You know what he can do There's some guys that we wonder what they can do we think about what they can do and we hope That they can do but with Julio, you know All right next questions came from my boy Chris and my guy Lance So far as Chris said, what's up in Graven? Hope all is well with you and the fam I just saw on ESPN that the Cardinals are considering reconstructing the Andre Hopkins contract in order to make a push for Julio Jones I don't think that was it. I think the Andre Hopkins just put it out there on twitter on social media and stuff That he would be willing to do that. I don't think the the Cardinals said they were but You never know at the same time But anyway, you see my question is do you think that the Raven should make the same push for Julio? Even though we already have weapons and maybe give up say a first round pick and maybe send them miles Breaking just a thought I was wondering what you might be thinking take care. Um with that um A first round to know I don't think a first round it would even be necessary Uh a second rounder though I think a second rounder could definitely get it done because the second rounder will be something more than what they would Be expecting to get for Julio Jones. Um, and then he said miles working as well. Oh, man So why does everybody want to get rid of miles working? um Our wide receiver room would be crowded no doubt And again, whoever that whoever would be the odd man now like it's already going to be like some odd men out Right now, uh because the room is a little bit crowded Uh, but you adding to Julio Jones and it's definitely going to be some odd men out and even more Uh, so who that would be? I'm not even sure but uh lands lands this question Uh, he said, uh, is it possible that the ravens trade trace McSorley in a package for Julio Jones? I think this would be a good move a good trade because trace when he came to the ravens I think he went three or four no in the preseason He has a potential he just needs a team and I think it's time for the ravens to go I mean for the falcons to go into rebuild mode and ravens can trade some of those receivers if they get Julio trade Trade is no offense to trace at all, but I don't think trace adds any value uh to a Julio Jones trade. Um I mean, yeah, it could be a nice backup quarterback for matt ryan. Who knows how long matt ryan has left As a falcon and just as a starting quarterback. I mean, he obviously got some juice left in him but um, I don't think trace really moves the needle when it comes to a Julio Jones trade Um, so I I mean they could they could add him in a package But I don't think that would really be the deal breaker or the deal maker for the Atlanta falcons Next question came from a boy bullet eight tracks. He said ain't graven. Love the videos I wanted to ask do you think it'll be a good idea if the ravens used even duvenate like carolina? They would cut his samu. I mean, well, let me let me finish the question first I would you rather have that duvenated be used like samu or be just a strict wide receiver And which one do you think would be the best for the ravens? Love the veers and keep up the great work Appreciate it, man. All right, and he's also somebody else that I always see in the comment section So I appreciate it a lot. I feel like they already do I feel like they actually use him more as a running bag than a wide receiver Because again, you know, devon duvenay. We haven't mentioned in a long time, but He was the jet sweep king. He was a jet sweep king. That's what they use them for jet sweep jet sweep jet That's that's it and of course the kick returns and punt returns too But I I would just like to continue to see him use but I would like to see him be using the passing game too Not just on it. Not just on the jet sweeps. You can incorporate this guy in so many different ways He's low to the ground. I think he's like 510, but he's built for it and he got some nice speed So you could throw him some screen passes. It'd be nice if ravens implemented the screen game into their offense That'd be a beautiful thing Continue your jet sweeps, but it doesn't you don't have to like I hate when we when we see devon duvenay on the field when we saw number 13 And we saw him go in motion. We we just knew what was coming We knew what was coming and it'd be like and sometimes he'll work now But still it's like come on. Let's let's do some more with this guy um, but So I just I just want to see him be used period Period and I know it's going to be a lot of people ahead of them This year, but I just I just really want to see him used Period and not just on the jet sweeps next question came from my boy. Greg re-e. He said good afternoon How would you feel if the ravens offered Richard Sherman a contract to play free safety? It's obvious he lost a step to play cornerback But the man has extreme football intelligence and he has a great nose for the football He is more than capable to wear the green dot and I believe he would add leadership to that defense go ravens um, if they did that I wouldn't be mad But Richard Sherman he he wasn't his saying all you mad Is you mad? Are you big mad? Whatever he said to tom brady that time? But I think I would have to ask him the same thing. Are you mad? Is you big mad to be a backup? Because that's what he would be now the ravens They definitely have packages where they have three safeties on the field all at once and they move their safeties around a lot So he would definitely get his playing time, but would he be willing to be the backup? I mean at this point with training camp coming up right around the corner Uh, it may be the only way It really might be um, but yeah, he'd certainly would add some leaderships of veteran presence and just a football football sports Football sports. Um, so I wouldn't be mad at it. I definitely wouldn't be mad at it And and he could of course help the young guys as well But even just because I know a lot a lot of veterans they like that's not their job though, man The veterans job ain't just to help the young guys. They want to play They want to play so I know a lot of us can get caught up and and automatically when we think about a veteran player coming on Oh, yeah, he helped the young guys. He could teach this guy that teach that No, they they're still trying to cut their checks, too They're still trying to cash their checks, too. So with that being said, um I wouldn't be opposed to it And I think it'll be a little cool move, but how how much of a step has he lost? And do we need somebody that lost a step in the secondary? Well, he lost step as a corner, but as a free safety, you get to see the whole field And again, yeah, like you said, he does have that knowledge. So yeah, I wouldn't be mad if they did that The next question on this episode of question from subscribers came from my boy Aiden. He said, hey, how's it going engraving? Hope you and the family doing good. Why are people sleeping on Alejandro like he's a bad dude? Yes, he's older, but he still does well and run blocking He made a good point at the presser on a pads heavy offense with the stillers It takes a lot of stress on your body over the course of the game Pass rushes can get a rhythm on you if you pass in 12 times in a row And someone like Miles Garrett is lining up against you and he has 50 to 60 snaps to attack every single angle of your body And try different moves for a lineman It takes some strain off of you if you incorporate the run and it gives them time to recover So my question is this there's some good points, uh without run heavy offense, can Villanova or via Nueva? Shout out to my guy, uh, but can he my guy Augusto He said can he do more than just fine? I think so. Sorry for the long question Just something that not many people are talking about And I'll yeah, definitely for sure because again, he'll be in a run heavy offense and that's a lineman's dream Like I know my guy Cam Neal. I know he he will he will always point it out That it's a much better feeling when you go into attack rather than you got to sit back and wait to be attacked Because as a lineman if you run blocking Oh, you going going to go chase them defensive lineman and you go looking to go find somebody to knock out But if you pass blocking which I mean lineman obviously have to do both But if you just pass blocking you pass blocking over and over and over you got to wait And you're protecting your quarterback, but you got to wait for them to come to you So it just it makes it a lot not necessarily an easier situation, but a better situation for the lineman Uh with the variety The the variety certainly helps But with if you just strictly passing passing passing like you did mention that he mentioned That is some very very good points that I didn't even think about how you said he uh the pass rusher They can find different ways to line up against you and then they can attack every single angle of your body So they can try to go high on you. They could try to go with a ball rush They can go with this little swim. They could try different stuff And they could be trying all these different maneuvers and techniques and whatnot And then they get in there practicing against you because y'all ain't doing nothing but passing So it definitely helps to uh have a a good balance of both Next question came from a boy ronald. He said ain't graven quick question with the raven's not drafting a tight end Do you think they'll run a two tight end setup like last year to force them all to target receivers? Or is this due to the fate that they have in jake abreeland for the new tight end? They traded for or or the new tight end they traded for hope this year so far going well Keep going with the content appreciate that. Um I I certainly think they'll run with three tight ends, but I think that just they I don't I think it's a lack of faith in that third tight end So they trying to find who that third tight end is going to be ravens have like eight tight ends on the roster right now They got a lot man. They have uh mark andrew's nick boyle those two obviously locks But after that it's up in the air because they have josh oliver who they traded for from the jaguars They have jake abreeland who was hurt last year and still hurt right now. They have wolf Um from last year they signed eric tomlinson So that's six. Uh, they got uh, tony, uh, I want to say paulian the undrafted rookie free agent And and they drafted ben mason He's a fullback slash. So they have eight. They literally have eight tight ends on the roster right now So they got some decisions to make next question came from a tail He said after looking back to when that press got had that severe injury I realized he got nothing but love and respect after it I try to think what type of response from the media Lamar would get if he had the same injury and I don't think it would be the same Especially if it happened on a running play So the question is do you think lamar would get the same treatment that that got if he had the same injury? And if the media would likely blame it on him being a mobile quarterback Uh and say much love and keep up the amazing ravens content appreciate that matel Oh, you already know the answer to this question. You you already know that's a that's a definite new That's a definite no because even if it happened on a play where he was not running The media would still diverted and be like oh even though he was standing in the pocket No, the reason why it happened is because he run so much Straight up. You already know how that would go. It wouldn't be any shocker either It would be frustrating, but it wouldn't be surprising whatsoever because they would find a way To blame it on that even though that wasn't even the cause for it The last question on this episode question from subscribers came from a boy antoine He said ain't graven. How are you my brother? My name is antoine been following the channel And I love what you're doing for our purple and black. I appreciate you, man He said be more in the building now to my question Do you think with the offense and the defense we can see the same impact that the legion of boon Had uh with the seattle seahawks If we improve our play calling this upcoming season Do you think we can take that approach with our offense and defense and let me know what you think um, no not at all Because that defense was absolutely Locked down like nothing was getting past them They were just They were killing it and ravens defense is good But as we continue to go on more and more and more into this era of football Playing defense is just that much harder every single year becomes that much harder The rules continue to benefit the offense. This is another reason why ravens They need to up this offense because they need to take advantage of the era that we're in So but the penalties benefit the offense the rules benefit the offense to everything benefits the offense man everything So I don't really see anybody really being that legion of boon type of defense at all Um because the legion of boon they had a strong run game, uh with seattle seahawks, which ravens obviously have But their defense was even stronger than their run game was their defense was everything man And I just I don't see that for this team right now Not that that that's a bad thing that not and not that I think the defense is going to be bad Because you know ravens going to take care of defense, you know the defense is going to be straight um, but I just don't see them as this absolute lockdown defense now they got a secondary for it now Uh and at linebacker they got smarts. They got speed. They they got the lightning and the thunder They got all that now pass rush. That's a little bit questionable right now Let's do some question mark stare, but we'll see how it all ends up But as far as legion of boon status, no, I don't see
