 Wow, that is a lot of money like those regular people playing even if we got a million dollars guarantee We'd be like whoa, but for this deal like let's read the details of this deal that Chris Jones Just got from the chiefs that chiefs in five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones reaching agreement on a record five-year deal That includes 95 million dollars guaranteed 90 like we even gonna do it all that you he could probably buy the chiefs if he wanted to but anyway It includes 95 million guaranteed and allows KC to keep his best defender before free agency begins The deal is expected to be the highest average salary ever given to an NFL Defensive tackle Adam Shatner said the specific details still are being finalized but Chris Jones will sign a five-year deal In which all the money in the first three years 95 $9,000,000 is guaranteed when the eyes are dotted and the T's across Jones deal will include the highest ever average annual defensive tackle salary and Whoo, I am So glad that the Ravens they got that deal to the Winchester meta be gay now Not saying that Justin Matta be gay's deal would have even touched this but had Chris Jones signed before Justin Matta be gay Justin Matta be gay EDC and Ravens they could offer Justin Matta be gay what they offer them and if Chris Jones would have signed before then Just matter be a little bit like look Even if you don't get me as much as that we need to be a lot closer to that than we are right now That could have made things a whole lot harder than a whole lot tougher But this deal looking at this deal happy for Chris Jones. Shout out to Chris Jones and shout out to the chief for getting it done But this makes things. Oh, it just makes things that much better for the Baltimore Ravens And really the timing of everything The timing of them finalizing this thing If they use the franchise tag on Justin Matta be gay and then a couple days after the franchise tag boom They got everything done. So that is a beautiful thing back to Chris Jones real quick He says Chris Jones had months of negotiations with the chiefs to the point where he held out all of training camp last year And missed the first game in the regular seasons against the Lions Oh, yeah, which they lost to says he came back on a revised one-year deal Total ten and a half sacks on the season was named first team all-pro when it's Thursday We'll vote and now becomes the highest pay defensive tackle in NFL history. What a life What a life man, he bet on himself and he won Always happy for players though when when they bet on themselves and they get the job done and he obviously got the job Done now Speaking to get in the job done. We got a job to do we got a job to do with questions from subs And we got to get all of our questions themselves updated so we can go into the new league year in a tabern period with a clean slate So this is a special episode of questions from subscribers So if you have sent in a question from subscribe over the past couple of weeks and you haven't heard it yet Well, hey, my friends today is your day before you get into it Make sure you subscribe to the channel to your notifications on and leave a like on the video because it helps out a lot I love y'all so much team keeping clean. I appreciate y'all. Let's have a fun new NFL League year is going to be a great one Now first question speaking of Chris Jones being about Justin Madi BK came from my guy B But he said bro, I got a question Please let me know if I'm missing something Ravens tag Madi BK and two or three days later came to an agreement on a deal Why would Ravens waste the tag on Justin Madi BK when they could have paid him and use a franchise tag on Patrick Queen? Could they have done that? And if so, what was EDC thinking? It would have been a better move tag in PQ and having him for the upcoming season. Does this even make sense your thoughts? Also, do you think Ravens should sign veteran old-line players instead of gambling on rookie linemen? Ravens seem to lean too hard on rookies to feel veteran positions Thanks for your channel and much love to you and your family from the 5-0 to appreciate that BB And he said hashtag protect LeMond now. That's a good question. So let's let's go piece by piece So he said um Ravens tag Madi BK and two or three days later They came to an agreement on a deal Why would they waste a tag on Justin when they could have paid him and use a franchise tag on PQ? Well, I never thought and then most people probably never thought that they were gonna use the franchise tag on Patrick Queen I think we have all came to the conclusion that Patrick Queen is out of there. Patrick Queen is gone He's going to go get his money and go get more money elsewhere now with Justin Madi BK The fact that they didn't have a deal in place the franchise tag putting a franchise tag on him It saves the Baltimore Ravens in a big way because they could have been like all right Well, we didn't come to an agreement with Justin Madi BK before the new league year starts We're not gonna put the franchise tag on him. Had they continued to not have a deal in place He becomes a free agent and that's it like he he could be gone He don't get franchise tag He could be on his merry way somewhere else and get more money from another team So with the Ravens putting a franchise tag on him that eliminates that risk completely Yeah, the new league year isn't official yet, but had they not placed a franchise tag on him once that new league year hit Oh Yeah, he would have been out of there He said could they have done that and if so was EDC thinking so he answered that it would have been better move tagging PQ And having him for the upcoming season Does this even make sense now to love for PQ to stay with the Baltimore Ravens? But again, they they're not gonna pay big money to to inside linebacker just I don't see it They never have and I don't anticipate them doing that any time soon and he also said Do you think Raven should sign veteran o-line players instead of gambling on rookie offensive linemen Raven seemed to lean too hard on rookies to feel veteran positions But yeah, I do think Just a mix of you because you could go about it a couple different ways You got your center in position already As far as left and right tackle, we'll see what happens with that But in my opinion, they need to get a plan in place with Ronnie Stanley They need to get bringing somebody who is going to be Ronnie Stanley's replacement and in my opinion They need to do that ASAP the reason I say they need to do that ASAP is because you continue every single year To know what life is like without Ronnie Stanley because he misses a lot of time You haven't a starting offensive linemen you start left tackle your blindside protector. He's on a rotation So he don't even play full time that right there. Let you know like, okay It's it's about that time, baby. It's about that time for us to start looking in another direction so I think it should be a mix of both both veterans and Rookies or young guys to help feel Take care that position of the offensive line because it's such a critical position Like you said at the end of your question You said hashtag protect Lamar and we certainly want Lamar to be protected But if his starters are going out Every other game every other play then that decreases the quality of the offensive line Decreases the quality of the offense and decreases the quality of the Ravens and we don't want the Ravens quality Decreased and some other questions still that came from BB. He said, I'm not sure if this is a long shot bringing an approving Why receive a pair with Zay and baby and would be in the best interest for the Baltimore Ravens thinking about the chemistry Lamar And Hollywood have had in the past Ravens need to solidify the position with Monk in as a play caller and his ability to be creative with the passing game Hollywood would be the perfect thought the perfect fit your thoughts My fault a me I would love it But I think that ship is sell things are much different now. It's a new offense They pass in the ball a lot more Hollywood will be able to continue to be involved in so many different ways him and Lamar Obviously got that crazy connection, but I just think that that ship has Sailed he also said Raven should go after a veteran left tackle in free agency drafting a left tackle in late Second or third would be a better option expecting a rookie left tackle to protect Lamar It's too much of a gamble, especially when they are players like Tyron Smith from Dallas Mackay Beckton from the Jets and Trent Brown from the New England signing one or even two of these offensive linemen were Free up space for the Ravens in a draft to go after wire receivers and DB's also keeping Pat Riccardo is imperative due to the fact of his all-around ability and importance to this team He is one of Lamar's go-to guys in tight situations and letting him go in free agency would just be taken away from the team as a Whole thanks for the channel and congratulations on a new flock baby girl. Appreciate that BB with Pat Riccardo We answered that question early about the offensive linemen But with Pat Riccardo, he is an interesting one because yeah, he has missed to do it all He is very important to the Baltimore Ravens and what they do on offense. I could see I still think that they could End up cutting him one day and signing him back like a day or two later I think that could happen like a little further down into free agency But I do think one way or another that Pat Riccardo is gonna continue to be on this football team And real quick we got to take a quick break to give a special shout out to all the team keep it clean Patrons the newest team keep it clean patron or a turning team keep it clean patron is Marquita now I remember when we first started patreon.

Thank you He's a PS. I hope you don't get jealous lol We all know how young dogs can be once the attention is all for them lol anyhoo. Yeah. Hey, we actually got two dogs We had the second one for About a year now because we got a golden retriever and a pomegranate And they they're great man. They're great. They got a lot of personality as I'm sure all of y'all know But shout out to both of them is is pookie and peach But anyway continuing he said He said he noticed remember the picture I tagged Lamar Jackson and Justin Jefferson in The pic with Justin Jefferson in a Ravens uniform that picture just felt so right and natural to see him in a Ravens uniform It really did anyhoo What do you think ran through Lamar Jackson's mind because Lamar Jackson definitely saw it Do you think it sparked something in his head? And do you think he may go to EDC to spark something in his mind and it's a possibility But more than not but EDC is known to throw smoke screens meaning us and the rest of Ravens lock an NFL fan base thing He's doing one thing when we're really after something nobody expects us to be in in 2019 It was Jay Laramsley in addition to Jamal Adams that year in 2020 It was the Andre Hopkins didn't go through none of them then the Anakin Gakway in 2021 It was Xavier and Howard in 2022 is Roquan Smith and most definitely during the 2023 season It was Derek Henry So am I saying EDC is going to attempt to get Justin Jefferson? Probably not but You never know an engraving like you always say anything is possible until it's not Lol another example. We got the rock and Roman Reigns versus Seth and Cody at WrestleMania Lol see why I'm going with this off topic But still no one's seen this as a possibility either Lol Anywho, thank you my brother have a blessed day and blessings to you all Appreciate it. Justin Jefferson to the Baltimore Ravens would be nasty That would be downright filthy and we would all love it But Not even so much about what you said about Justin Jefferson That's like a 99.99999% chance that it does not happen But again anything possible to the impossible normal, but we ain't counting on that one But what you talked about with the smoke screens? That's real right there. We have continued to see so many reports about Derek Henry to the Baltimore Ravens I think the betting odds is him signing with the Baltimore Ravens We've seen reports about say Kwame Barkley him coming to the Ravens and I just I don't know man It feels like yeah, both of those would be nice options but it just seems like it's being talked about too much and That EDC is gonna hit us with a swerve next question came from a patron my guy Gareth He said ain't great with this Gareth. Sorry having asked a question in a while He ain't got to apologize for that man. He said I'm just getting over the end of the season We all are He said what three players do you want the Ravens to sign this off season or in free agency and congratulations to you and your family with a little one I'm just happy for you. I'm so happy for you And he said I must send you something for the newest member team keep it clean. Oh, man, it's all good. I appreciate you man Um, three players that I would like to see the Baltimore Ravens sign this off season I mean, it's in a couple of days. Well, actually the talk start tomorrow, but um Well, three players, uh, judevian clowning one of them got signed that being just a meta bk And I'll probably say ronald dobby um Reason I say judevian clowning for obvious reasons y'all know that's my guy just a meta bk for obvious reasons Because he went off and that alleviates a lot of cap space too. But um for ronald dobby Um, I think he would be a good sign for the Ravens because he would have a longer time He would have a full off season with the Baltimore Ravens. He could be healthy for a full off season with the Baltimore Ravens Uh, so he could be even more familiar or even more comfortable with the Baltimore Ravens And this would allow them that much more flexibility in the draft for the Baltimore Raven So those would be my three picks next question came from another team keeping clean patron my god Be it he said, what's up, bro? The family is doing well. Hey, I appreciate you He said, what you think about cadarius toning? Uh, he's probably a younger version of nelly with the drop pro He said he's probably a younger version of the nelson aggolo with the drop problem But he is very gifted and cheap and also with us. He might be rejuvenated to get back at the cheese Well, I mean, what's he gonna be rejuvenated to get back at them for he got what two super bowls with them, right? Yeah, two of them two super bowls two times super bowl champion, right? Yeah, because he got with the chiefs the year before last and he was obviously with them last year Because of the whole off-sides all-in-offense thing, but yeah, man. So look like He he he got absolutely no motivation at all to get back at the cheek He's a super bowl champion because of the cheese like he ain't gonna be mad at them. He said I was somebody else Oh, I'm chilling. Are we going against the chiefs? Okay, cool. He ain't got no beef with them So that doesn't give him any extra motivation because they they made him a champion And no matter how you look at his career. No matter what happens. No matter the off-sides No matter whatever whatever beef he got with the giant no matter what happened. You can never ever Take away his super bowl championships next question came from my god, Mike He said what's going on in gravy and I recently ran into this post about Lamar restructuring his contract to keep Key players if he does you think the Ravens will find a way to keep Patrick Queen? Geno stone and matabique pretty sure I spelled that wrong. You only mess it up by Two letters. So not a big deal. Well You're not a big deal. We want to we want to work on getting it right with matabique His name was tough man. It took me a while to keep getting it right But that was over typing it and writing it over and over and over and now my phone if I put mad mad du Then my phone will auto type the rest of matabique because he knows exactly what I'm talking about Anyway, he said um, well for what that first question. No, I They they not keeping all of those guys. They'll be nice. It'd be very very nice But it ain't happening Patrick Queen. He could get more opportunity elsewhere And I mean he get a lot of opportunity with the Ravens, but to be the guy at inside linebacker. This is his chance Um to not just be oh, I'm playing alongside Roquon Smith No for him to be the guy this an opportunity for him the same thing with geno stone Same exact thing with geno stone. So I'm sure those guys are going to get more money and more opportunity elsewhere Now he said also I feel like we should make a bold move and release Ronnie Stanley Since being paid in 2020 he has been injured every year like clockwork I feel he is not worth the money at this point and needs to go. What are your thoughts with Ronnie Stanley? So anything we talked about earlier, um, the money part is tricky when he got his deal It was not a bad deal just the timing of the injury that got this bad tj watt end up accidentally like Snapping Ronnie Stanley's ankle and everything just really went downhill from there. He has never really been The same from that point on it's always been like sort of a nagging thing He tried to rehab it at one year then tried to then it was like, oh, no I don't want to get surgery then he ended up missing the rest of the year that year and then it just it just been Just downhill from there. So Ronnie Stanley, man, um, Whatever they do, they need to have a contingency plan in place like now Varsity blues next question came from my god, Michael. He said good morning, my man I hope all is well with you and the family many blessings. I love the channel Appreciate that Mike. He said I watch it vigorously as I work But I do have a question in the movie varsity blues The players took a stand and did it their way to win Would you respect hotball if he understood that last year was all on him and he needed to step back And put fresh faces out there for us to win again. Peace love and happiness my friend Hmm. So so the the ravens players they they take a stand against jonathan hotball Um, I mean they did that in in in what 2012 and it worked. They got the super bowl So I mean y'all he'll want to run it back because again with ravens It's been every 12 years type of thing with the super bowl So I know what we were all upset last year when they didn't get it But I guess maybe it just wasn't that time it wasn't the 12th year because remember they got it in the season 2000 the year 2001 they got it last time in the time before that or the time after that they got it in the season 2012 the year 2013 so that's 12 years later and now this year they could get it in the season 2024 But the year 2025 Um, but yeah, hey, really I'm I'm with whatever works I can't say it's all on hotball because players still got to play But it does certainly start from the top you as the head coach you make a lot of those crucial decisions Um, as far as personnel as far as play calling as far as all of that and you got to override stuff Or you got to tell them. Hey, yeah, that's good. You got to tell them. Hey, no, no, no That's not good. Um, because you're the leader you're the leader Even though you got professionals and you let those guys do their job and whatnot You oversee all of that. So it's very important that you oversee it to the best of your ability and you make Your players able to execute a lot better and just make things easier for them Make things easier for them because with the Baltimore Ravens with that afc championship game It's crazy because despite the play calling despite the execution despite everything They were in it to the very end. They they really were But well, you know the rest of the story the next question came from my guy Robert Oh, this is a good one. He said what's up in Graven? Just out of curiosity What do you think is the reason why the Baltimore Ravens cannot find a way to get production from both Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely together, especially with a coordinator who Who just ran a too tight end system? He said hashtag only the Ravens lol That's such a good question. I I I wish I knew the answer because that is such a great question It's a tough one. I don't know man because it's like when one's out there Hey, that one will go off. Then when the other ones out there by himself. Hey, the other one will go over when they both are together like What what are we? So I I couldn't tell I wish I knew the answer I I really do not know I have Zero clue and this has been a thing Forever. Well, I mean they likely only been on team for two years So they only been there's only been having them for two years But still like with Greg Roman, he couldn't do it. They get a new offensive coordinator top market He couldn't do it. So I don't know what it is. Maybe this is the answer. The answer is Volume. This is another question. The next question came in my god, Jaylin. He said what's good in graven I'm finally able to talk about football. We get it without getting upset now But my question is do you think the answer to improving the passing game? It's just throwing a ball more This might be a little long but stick with me here in another video You mentioned how likely and Andrews never seem to go off at the same time Could that be because we were still second to last and pass attempts this year And our offense isn't designed for the multiple receivers to have big yarded games at once That's a good point. But let's just finish and we get into it He said we have guys who have speed and can separate and our tight ends are strong and good with 50 50 balls I get wanted to establish the run and it's important to be a balanced team But what's the point of really investing in pass catches whether drafting or signing an off season If the targets will be this low if you're going to abandon the run and air down in the playoffs You might as well get the guys used to doing that during the season Okay You you got me there because um I was gonna go in a different direction and you you steered me a different way Anyway, he said not saying we have to lead the league in attempts But is it too much to ask to be 15th instead of 31st? Thanks for your time and all that you do And he said ps you should have seen me when Lamar caught his own tip pass and took off Felt like we were destined to win after that man We got so many moments this throughout last season where I felt like it was just yeah, right when we're gonna be the Super Bowl champions Just the way that it says the and I think the biggest moment for me where I was like, oh, yeah We got it. This this is the year for sure What's the Rams game? Because that Rams game so many other times so many other years Ravens would have lost that but They found a way to get it done with so many opposition So so much stuff stacked against them so many mistakes so many issues But they got it done and I was oh, yeah this but yeah, well, you know, anyway back to the question Um volume we should pass it more um That's That's tricky you and you talked about it as far as being a balanced team But what's the point in really investing in past catches whether drafting or signing someone in offseason if the targets are gonna be this low I think everything really depends on um The style of the team to play Uh because Ravens they they all run heavy team They they do run the ball and I do I do like how they spent their money Last offseason and how they did invest in past catching options because they had quality guys Who could be there and be ready for when they did pass the ball a little bit more because they were passing the ball More this year than they had times before Um, well, at least it felt like it when you see they were second to last and pass attempts but um I think with yeah volume I get it volume because when you have more volume Especially during the regular season when you get to postseason and you passing more Guys are like, oh, okay. Yeah, we used to this man. This is what we do but Ravens like their team is not a Past heavy team they can be but they're not so that that's just not how they built that's not how they play They run heavy team and like it's like they run heavy team that can pass if they need to um, but they Ravens have always For their entirety been based off of the run the majority they've been based off of the run They've been some years. I know the mark trust me years. They wasn't running the ball good that year But anyway, most years they run run run run um And it's good But then it's like what the weird part about that is they so based off of the run But then when it comes crunch time, especially against any reader they decide, you know what? No, we're not gonna run anymore So I don't even think that I get what you're saying with the volume I get that complete because I said that a couple years ago myself too. So I I agree with it But with the Baltimore Ravens they just uh It's not even about volume to me now I think it's just about Stop getting away from who you are stop getting away from what got you so much successful because that's exactly what they did against the chiefs Hollywood brown anyone next question came from I got Oreo cookies It ain't great. I hope you're having a good day as I write this on the school bus a few days before free agency I got to thinking how would you feel about Hollywood Brown coming back to Baltimore as a two or three? I know you love them. I personally wouldn't be opposed. Just want to thank you for remembering what I said Uh about my goals and being happy for me. It means a lot and that's all for now I'm out. No, no, no, I appreciate you. I appreciate you sharing that man because to you said you had got Uh over 100 pounds down again that like for somebody to do that that takes a lot of self discipline that takes a lot of motivation that takes a lot of um Discipline for sure discipline probably the best word I could use because it's easy So not necessarily easy, but you could lose a couple pounds. Oh, yeah, lots of fun. They can gain a right back. Boom It's so easy. I mean, I've been doing that all the time. I lose a couple pounds Then I then I see that I see a uh cookies and cream shake. Let's see fried Oreo or something like that it's like But and then I can gain a gain away better gain away back right away but to And that's only like three three pounds three two three pounds four pounds something like that But to lose over a hundred pounds That's that's significant right there. So shout out to you. Yeah, and you already know for me I would love if hollywood came back. I I just don't think it's gonna happen. I think um I think there the relationship between him and the ravens is fine. I don't think there's any bad blood um But I because again, his thing wasn't with the players. It was with the plays It was with the coordinator the previous coordinator Um, I think he would like top mark in a lot more than like great roman But um, I just think That ship is sealed and it's one of those things where it's it's just done Double trouble next question came from my god mark jg said what's up in great? I hope you and team keeping clean are doing well Congrats on your addition to the family and props and blessings to y'all. Hey appreciate that Speaking of additions, this brings me to my point Why is it difficult for baltimore to use mark angus and I say it likely effectively together? See I love when team keeping clean be on the same page A lot of so much time we all be on the same page thinking the same thing Anyway, continuing he said I lean toward it being a john hardball decision and here's why but ed Dixon and Dennis peter Dennis peter came to be the more go-to target and ed Dixon was tight in two It got the job done, but it wasn't eye-popping fast forward You have hating in the market mark just took off while boiling hers was secondary options It was mad but lamar wanted an MVP off of it Now we are here with two dynamic weapons and mark and isiah and you've got to use these six four bodies How is it that todd munkin had donnell washington and brock brock brock bowers at titan at georgia and won two titles And he openly said they were his best receiving options and you come to the NFL with that same setup and not use it Mark can play titan let isiah play titan slash wire receiver or a big slot while charlie collough can essentially be Titan two you won't need another wire see if you do this keep adding weapons Please I say hardball is the reason because some things mysteriously tend to vanish with him now that part right there That part right there is similar to what we were just talking about before how to rave is just they they get away from themselves And he's some things just tend to mysteriously vanish with him. That's an interesting way of putting it But anyway continuing. He said also off subject. Okay. Well first with that part Um, a lot of people have said that throughout even from last year or from two years ago now because last year is done now Uh, last season is done now But a lot of people had talked about um, I say likely being sort of a wide receiver and he used to play wide receiver too He used to play wide receiver too. Um But I don't know. I don't know if that would even do it I don't know because they'll have him lined up in the side. They'll have him lined up in different places and whatnot But um, they'll have do the same thing and mark andrews, but I just I don't know what it is I really don't know And can I blame it on hardball not really because I just don't know Like how how would hardball? Like erased it to like how would he like How would he Make it to where they just it just ain't working with both of them on the field at the same time I don't know. I'm just that's just something that I'm just extremely lost about um, so Yeah, man. Anyway, uh, he also said uh, is there now this was before matabique was signed He said, uh, could there be a possible scenario where we extend matabique before the deadline and tag patrick queen Now that's what my guy was talking about earlier bb from the beginning of this video Uh, he said I asked because if you can tag and trade you get lots of value than just letting him walk Now with patrick queen if they were to do a tag and trade with patrick queen Who's to say that they could actually get a trade for him? Because teams may look at that and be like, uh, you know what? No, we ain't gonna try to pay that number for patrick queen. Let the ravens keep them. Let that be their problem And if you anticipate trading patrick queen You got to have somebody that's ready to do a deal like right away Um, and then even at that the team could be like, you know what? No, we don't want to do it anymore They could back off you want to try to have something official done, but um, so with that being said I don't think ravens could even take that risk Uh to tag a patrick queen because if they don't get any buyers and you still got the tag on patrick queen Then it's like oof. Okay. Well, you I don't want to say you would be stuck with him Because it's not a bad thing to have a patrick queen on your team at all, but um, yeah, that would be yikes So he said I asked because if you can tag and trade you get lots of value than just letting him walk That that's true And he said if you get the chance with the draft coming up and you do a little homework and your busy schedule Check out these players. Okay. Cooper the jing cornerback or maybe it's the genre cornerback from Iowa Keon Coleman wire see from fsu. Oh, I've been hearing so much about him I've been hearing a lot about him. So we we're definitely gonna look at him soon He said christian hain is an offensive guard from uconn. Hope this all made sense Hopefully it wasn't too terribly long for your piece of love and blessings. No, you're good mark Appreciate you man. And the last question on this episode came from my guy rodel He said is it possible my guy? Here we go again a disappointing ending to the movie But with that I don't feel it was a bad movie. What I mean is I personally can't say this season was a failure I can it was like that the ravens had a lot of growth that they moved forward and they got farther than they have gotten in the Lamar Jackson era they made it today FC championship. So the season Oh, it wasn't all a failure But it was a failure the way this team was assembled the roster that they had the record that they had The the records that they broke 13 and 4 number one seed You don't get you didn't get to the Super Bowl. That's a failure to me but Not everything was a failure, but the end goal they failed. So anyway, he said um I say that because going into the season. I judge us off of just making the afc championship I didn't care if we went 17 and 0 or 10 and 7 we had to make this game We haven't got past the division around since Lamar been here We absolutely had a terrific regular season, but I couldn't let that change my outlook Should we have been in a big dance? Absolutely. But we also reached another level that Lamar hasn't reached before Which brings me to my next point. You're right. Let's continue though. He said, is it even possible? Is it possible to beat the chiefs? Hey, we're regular season. Yeah post season. Hey, it is possible You're gonna take a lot. Oh, man. You better hold or I ain't you know I ain't let's say done about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, man, but um You just better hope a lot of things are on your side Uh, and you got to bring your a game and just you got to bring your what's what's above an a a plus a plus plus plus You got to bring that because anyway, let's continue. He said, is it even possible? Is it possible to beat the chiefs? Is nfl pushing this next time brady thing and backing the chiefs and he put in parentheses refs Is Patrick my home just light years better than everyone else? Was the bingles beating them and advancing just an anomaly like obviously this was the absolute worst offensive team We've seen Pat and Andy have and they beat arguably the best offensive team in Miami Beat the hottest team on the road in Buffalo and then beat the best team in nfl on the road Lamar is now one and four against my home And not only was this Lamar's best offense. It was his best defense Everyone argued that my homes wouldn't come close when cheetah left and now he's won it again No, Tyree. No problem. No B enemy. No problem We cried for Lamar Jackson to get more weapons and with the most weapons he's ever had The story has the same ending again an axe is this possible What a sad way to end this episode. It is possible though. It is but It's just gonna take a lot right Ravens got to beat themselves, man They got to beat themselves. They they want themselves that game They they tend to in the biggest moments. They tend to get away from who they really are That's an issue. Anyway, continuing. He said my other question. Did the media win versus Lamar? I'm never gonna stop believing that what makes Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson is his legs and athleticism We've seen hundreds of guys play quarterback and throw the football But we haven't seen a ton run like Lamar. Heck Vic was the greatest running quarterback to me before Lamar Jackson That's true. Uh, there's no comparing them now But my point is I truly believe the media won and literally got in Lamar's head with the whole running back Can he throw etc narratives now? I do believe in growth and Lamar's accuracy was in doubt coming into the league He's obviously worked on that part and it's great to see next part of his development has to be the deep ball But man, he can't forget what makes him so special There were countless moments during the season where he has the lanes to do what he does best but settle That I agree. I think we all agree with that. There are a lot of times like Lamar take off, but he's no he didn't Anyway, he said sometimes it works something But at the same time we did say throughout this whole season We continue to say from John that we could tell he was holding back And I think he was holding back just to keep himself healthy for the long run just to make sure he was there Just make sure the Baltimore Ravens had the best chance to get into the Super Bowl that they possibly did And he was there so he gave him that but anyway continuing He said sometimes it works sometimes it's a sack or loss of yardage But I personally feel like we are building this team off of Lamar Jackson the athlete not Lamar Jackson the quarterback Oh You talking Especially when you talk about the offensive line But anyway, he said what I mean is when Lamar Jackson is being Lamar Jackson He don't need to top five to 10 offensive line because he's dancing to make him plays with his legs That's Lamar Jackson the athlete Lamar Jackson the quarterback will require more money invested into the offensive line Lamar Jackson the athlete just needs playmakers surrounding him and he will make it happen That's the responsibility of the most important play on the field. You are Superman make a way out of no way Obviously with age his running will slow down and he will require more from his arm in mind But this man is just entering his prime You got to play your style of football play back your football forget stats media And they say is and be the person you've always been we are so much more dangerous when he does Just that and that's true. That's a great point And that just brings me back to what we've been saying a lot throughout this episode When the Baltimore Ravens get away from who they are It it just it It messes a lot of stuff up and they are not the best team that they could possibly be When Lamar Jackson gets away from who he is because again, we know Lamar Jackson can do everything We know he can do everything passing wise running wise. He can do it all But it does it can't seem sometimes like he is playing prove it ball like oh, I'm gonna prove to these people this I'm gonna prove to these people that But you ain't got to prove to them nothing just win
