 Team Keep It Clean, I know yesterday was crazy, crazy day. But I love y'all, I really do appreciate y'all a lot, y'all know that, but that's why I say it all the time, just in case you forget, I appreciate y'all. Keep being good people, keep being good to each other, keep being kind of people. Keep telling people that you love them, friends, family, everybody, man. Because people need to hear that, man. People need to hear that. You can just send a little random text, something about, hey, I love you. Hey, I appreciate you. Hey, I was just thinking about you. That's it. And it's something that's so simple and so easy, and so small, but it makes such a big difference, man. Such a big difference. And that could end it up, you don't know if somebody having a rough day, they could be going through something, and you don't even know about it. But you send them a little small text, call them text and whatever, hey, what's up? Hey, I was just thinking about it, just wanna stop by and say what's up, check on you, that's it. That's it. And it could literally change the trajectory of their entire day. I appreciate y'all. Team Keep It Clean. I love y'all. For real. For real. Thank you for everything that y'all do on a daily. Just period, man. Thank you. This feels like a dream. No jazz, what I mean. What I mean. You too, Team Keep It Clean. You see my boy, he like automated. Automated. Boy, that's my homie. Ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. I know it's been a long time since we done done questions from subscribers, but here we are. First question came from my god, Phil, and I appreciate you being a patron, Phil. And I appreciate everybody's patience with questions, because we got like a million emails, maybe a million and one emails. And also patrons and I sent some stuff too, but I appreciate you guys being so patient. Thank you. Because I have not seen not one person be like, hey, you ain't even answered my question yet. Hey, I ain't hear you do questions. Thank you for being patient. Thank you. Anyway, first question came from my god, Phil. He said, other than your great show, I wouldn't call this show great at all. It's not. We all right though, I appreciate you. He said, I also watched the Pat McAfee show on YouTube now and then. Recently, they were talking about how over the last three months, the Rams have signed Matt Stafford to $160 million deal and Donald 95 million, Allen Robinson, 46 million, and now Cooper Cup to 110 million, and also Bobby Wagner to 50 million. And that's nearly a 450 million where his crew went arguing about cap space being fake. So this past Friday, well, this was a little while ago, but it wasn't this past Friday, but it was a couple of Fridays ago. They had a guest who was a former agent and former Green Bay front office where he was explaining the contract of Stafford, explaining how Stafford received a $61.5 million signing bonus and how he'll receive an average of 15 mil each of the first two seasons. Then years three and four can become void years if the team decides to waive him and move on. Why do you think Baltimore and EDC have to be so cheap on the offensive side of the ball and not be willing to sign a top free agent receiving for Lamar to finally have that number one weapon we've all been waiting for? Thanks. That's an interesting question, but the way that I feel about it, y'all know that I have been wanting them to do that for a while, but I think, especially this off season, I think the way that the Ravens have moved, they are being extra cautious. The reason I say that they're being extra cautious, I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. I can understand from a business point of view why they're being extra cautious, even though I feel like they should really go for it. But I feel like they're being extra cautious because there's a lot of unknown with their quarterback Lamar Jackson. Now it does seem like by his last presser that the Ravens are talking and they may be moving in the right direction as far as a long-term contract with one Lamar Jackson, but we'll see how everything ends up playing itself out. But I think with the uncertainty of how things are gonna move forward with Lamar Jackson, that I feel like the Ravens just were like, you know what, we don't wanna commit to getting that guy a receiver, even though they had four years to do that before, but we don't wanna commit to getting that guy at wide receiver for Lamar Jackson if we don't know Lamar Jackson is going to be here for the long-term. He said that he wants to be there, the Ravens have said that they want him to be there, but nothing is official till it's official. So I just, with them not going out and getting that guy, a lot of times that's in the back of my mind as to why they won't do that because they don't know what's gonna happen with Lamar. They don't know. They can say what they think is gonna happen, what they want to happen, but until it actually happens, nothing's official yet. Now we expect that Lamar stays with the Ravens, but this is an NFL and stuff happens. I don't expect them to go anywhere else, but anything's possible till it ain't possible no more. And they just, yeah, they gotta come correct when it comes to that money, man. They, ooh, them boys better come correct when it comes to the bread. But still, I think that even with the uncertainty that the Ravens may have with Lamar Jackson, I still think they should have been gone and got that guy. And I had even been saying that before the Hollywood trade. Y'all know how I feel about that, but I just think this, the way that they've been moving, because again, yeah, I still say that the cap is cap. The cap is cap. If you want somebody, you wanna play it, you could do, you could make some things happen. You could certainly make some things happen. And I know my guy Vice talks about it all the time. He feels like the Ravens, they planned for the long term instead of the short term. And I just, I really wanted, I've really been wanting to see them go all in. Now this off season, they have done a really good job of building a lot of depth, quality depth on their roster. A lot of it, except at wide receiver and pass rush for now. Cause it's a little thin there. Again, Bowser and a job bowl coming off of Killies, Justin Houston going, Panem McPhee going. So I just, yeah, that's the only thing. But overall the roster, they pretty good. They're pretty good, but to get them over the top. And we'll see what these receivers do again. We'll see, we'll see. But I feel like if they gave Lamar that guy, oh, it would just open up things so much. And I keep seeing people talk about Mark Andrews, Mark Andrews, Mark Andrews. Yeah, you could line them up at X receiver. Yeah, you could, but he's a tight end. He's a tight end. He's a tight end. And I keep seeing people try to cover the Ravens not going to get that guy receiver. Oh, hey, they got Mark Andrews, he could be that receiver. He's a tight end. You're a tight end. And yeah, you can't move him everywhere, but what would be the problem with having that guy that's star quality at wide receiver and having a mark at, oh, the possibilities. That would be amazing. It would be amazing. And still you got her a shot, baby. Still you got approach, ain't doin' it, Tyler. Why don't you still got all those guys? Ooh, that would be lovely. Next question came from my guy, Harry, and I appreciate you being a patient as well. He said, I ain't gravy on the team, keep it clean. With the news of Derek Wolfe being released, it makes sense why the Ravens had Jason Pierre-Paul at the castle. Since the Ravens seem to want to get back to having a top five defense this season, do you think it would be a good move to sign JPP on a one year deal and then sign Justin Houston to the scene? Also, if not, which one do you think they should sign? Ooh, I like that question. I like that. Yeah, I would love if they sign both. I've been saying that y'all know how greedy I am. I would love if they brought back both, the more the merrier. But even back to earlier part of your question, you said, since the Ravens seem to want to get back to having a top five defense this season, I think that would not necessarily be easy for them, but I feel like it'll be easy for them. If everybody's healthy, I think they're top five for sure. Straight up. If everybody's healthy, they're top five already. I feel like that's almost a lot, man. Like straight up. And that was like, because Ravens defense, and of course the offense has had a lot to do with it, or when Lamar's out there. But with the Ravens defense, they've already been pretty good. And that's without a pass rush. They had no pass rush in years, man. They had no pass rush in years. So, but last year they dropped way down, but everybody was hurt. Everybody was hurt. Years before that, they always up there, man. So I think them having a top five defense, as long as they healthy. Yeah, they'll be straight on that. But yeah, I would love to sign both. If I had to choose one of them, it's crazy because what's funny, oh, Mike McDonald though, he changes everything. So I guess you could do any mini-money mode. Because I was about to say, what's funny is that both of these guys, they have been, well, JPP minus last year, because he was hurt. But both of these guys have been known to be very productive. But Justin Houston got over here, and he was not productive in the SAC department. But you know about Raven scheme that they had, and that scheme that just wasn't the best for pass rushers for their productivity. Because you as a pass rusher outside lineback and whatnot, you have to do a lot of different things, which could be a good thing, but it can also take away from the overall, the SAC production, your production. It's gonna take away from it. Because you're dropping back in the coverage, covering the flats, covering the middle of the field, you're doing so many different things. And it is nice to be able to be used to do different things, to have that variety, not just, okay, every time he's on the field, he got his hand in the dirt and he's rushing the passer. So it's nice to be able to throw offenses off and whatnot, but overall from the scheme, we just had not seen the production in SACs like that. So, but now with Mike McDonald, especially with what he did for Aiden Hutchison and David Ajaubo. So it seems as if he is really gonna maximize the pass rushers that the Ravens have whoever they end up being. So if I had to choose between JPP and Justin Houston, I could really do any mini-mining mode. I know Justin Houston last year, he was really good against the run. JPP, we know he is quality pass rusher, always has been and probably always will hopefully, getting a little up there, but still, he could play. So, and he got them long arms too. So really I wouldn't mind either one, but me, if I had to choose one, I would pick both. Next question came from my guy, Marco. I appreciate you being a patron as well. He said, what's good and great, and I appreciate you all, he's in the comment section too. I always see Marco G up in there, but appreciate you. Anyway, he said, two questions, between Morgan Moses, Philele, and Joanne James, who are you thinking, Anthel T.J., why better on the right side? I mean, anybody who's out there, he gonna be a problem for anybody. Ronnie Stanley was out there, he's a problem for him too, when he did go against him, but he gonna be a problem for anybody. So, I mean, Morgan Moses, he got the most experience out of the three. Philele seems as if he got the most potential out of the three. So I mean, it's, but he ain't got the experience. So he get out there, T.J. White gonna be like, oh yeah, this is a big giant, but oh, he's a rookie. Oh yeah, yeah, I got something for him. But hey, Philele might have something for him too, but if I had to choose, I would say Morgan Moses, based off of the current level of experience, and just that raw strength, he ain't got that old man strength. But anyway, he says, so we'll see, but regardless who it is, T.J. White is one of the best pass rushers in the league, and some people call him the best pass rusher in the league, but anybody's gonna have a problem. In any one of these three, he's gonna have a problem. He says, secondly, if you had to redo the 2019 draft, would you still draft Hollywood over A.J. Brown, Deebo Samuel, and a DK Metcalf? Keep up the grind, peace. That is a very, very interesting question. But guess what? I guarantee you with these Baltimore Ravens, because I know a lot of people talk about this, oh man, Ravens, they said it back then too. But you gotta get them that credit because people said back then, oh yeah, Ravens should've taken A.J. Brown and Deebo Samuel, DK Metcalf over Hollywood. But I guarantee you that in Raven's system, DK Metcalf would not be the DK Metcalf that we know. Deebo Samuel would not be the Deebo Samuel that we know. A.J. Brown would not be the A.J. Brown that we know. It's very easy to say, Raven should've drafted one of these guys over Hollywood. That's cool, everybody got their own opinion, that's fine. But scheme matters, system matters, the offense matters. Whatever receiver it may have been, young receiver too, obviously would've been a rookie back then. I don't think that would've mattered. Now they still could've done that thing here because Hollywood exploded on the scene and did his thing and then in the playoffs, he came through even more. But with Hollywood, it would've been the same thing, man. Now they would've had opportunities because Hollywood, he dropped a lot of passes, not a lot, he dropped like what, six? Well, I think with Hollywood, I think because a lot of people don't like Hollywood, so they highlight the drops even more. He did have some significant drops, but his drops were like, I think it was like either average with the league because they were the receivers that had more drops in Hollywood. They also had more yards and more big plays and stuff like that too. But yeah, I know with people's view on Hollywood, with his drops, his drops get extra emphasized and especially because of the moments because the moments where the drops come, a drop is never good, a drop is never good. But with the moments that his drops came in, people were like, ooh, and then everything that he said about the offense, people were like, oh, you said all about that, all about the offense, you dropped those passes, but yeah, his drops were like normal for the league as far as the number of them. But anyway, see, any of these guys, they would have fit in, especially with their physical style of play. Kind of what with Hollywood a lot, he would run out of bounds and I think that's the Oklahoma thing. But they run out of bounds, they really try to protect their body. And I think with him dealing with that, I think the Liz Frank injury and just recovering from it, a lot of times like he would sort of like slide or something like that, run out of bounds, something like that. But you look at these guys, like Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, they were those some big boys with him. They were those some big boys. So I think with them, if they would have been in Raven's offense, they may have gotten a little more yak. They may have initiated some more contact, a little rain and there's some people like head on a little bit more. So I mean, it would have been tricky, man. If I had to choose one, and it's crazy because I will be choosing one based off of what they've done over the past three years. Now again, I don't think it would have been the same had they been with the Ravens because Ravens run first. These teams, well, 49ers are run first but AJ Brown, they just get in the ball. I mean, Deebo Samuel, they get in the ball in 50 million different ways. Titans all run first, but they do implement a lot of the passes as well. And the Seahawks, they were a little bit of both at different times. Sometimes they will run first, but then they cost the lead rust cooking. You know how that went. But all these teams, that their passing game is a much more efficient and effective passing game than the Ravens is. But if I had to choose one, it would be either AJ Brown or DK Metcalf. Deebo, he done had his fair share of injuries. He been nice, he's still been nice and he been very effective and he is a monster Yat guy, monster Yat guy. And that's what Ravens has been lacking for a while. But he is a very physical presence. But I wonder, like thinking about the way that he plays, again, that's how 49ers using them. Who knows how the Ravens would have used them. But if the Ravens would have used him, the way that 49ers used him, that could have taken a lot off of Lamar because they would have had another one of those players who was like, the more you can do, because with Lamar, Lamar lead the team in passing, lead the team in Russian. And so, okay, good, relax, y'all, please. But with Deebo Samuel, if you lead the team in receiving, lead the team in Russian. But that guy, he can run the ball too. And I wonder if they would have really used him like that, like that. Probably, cause you see how they do with Devon Duvenay. Jetsweep King. Oh, hey, Jetsweep, hey, 13, come here, come here. Hey, you up. Oh, receiving plate, man, hey, 13, no, still, still with him. Jetsweep, hey, come through, man. So, but it's one of those things where it's tough. It's very tough to look back, but oh yeah, it would have been, oh yeah. Only because of Ravens offense, this style of offense. And last question on this episode came from my guy, Martin, and I appreciate you being a patron, Martin. He said, ain't Raven, I just wanted to get your thoughts. And this is something I keep hearing. Some Ravens fans say, we need to give more of an opportunity to our young guys and don't need a proven guy. Now, here's my argument. Our young guys need to create all for those opportunities themselves. And here's why I think this. Looking Mark Andrews, I believe he was a third round pick. And when he was drafted, they also drafted a first round tight end. Yes, that was Hayden Hurst. There was a lot of competition at the tight end position and he didn't even start out as the favorite, but he made the most of every opportunity he got. And because he did, he was given more opportunity. That's true. Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst was the first round pick, picked over Lamar Jackson too. He was the first round pick and he was looking good. Preseason was looking good, catching everything that was thrown his way. He got hurt. Mark Andrews was like, okay, I feel bad for my guy, but you know what? Let me step in, let me try to do my thing. And he did it. He did it. And the rest was history from there. It was history from there. So you say, yes, I understand John Harbaugh and Greg Roman are big factors to the lack of success at wide receiver position, but also don't think our current wide receivers have made the most of their opportunities win. And if they catch the ball, they usually don't pop off for big play. And yes, I know not every single catch is going to be a big play, but you have to do something. Now with our young wide receivers opportunities, it's very tricky because when you look at it, Tyler Wallace, he wasn't that on offense that much. He wasn't out there that much. And he wasn't expected to be. He was the fourth round pick, but he wasn't out there that much. He was out there for like, what did he get? Like three catches, maybe? Cause I remember that one catch where he like stumbled for a first down. I remember, I think maybe he got like, maybe two other catches, but he was hurt, but he was, so he was not on the field too much. Then he got hurt. Okay. End of his season. Boykin, he was hurt early on. He just was never used last year. Proshay, he wasn't really out there too much. When he did have the ball thrown his way, he did make some stuff happen. Then he started being a healthy scratch. Oh, okay. Devon Duvenay, they don't use him as a wide receiver. They use him as a gadget guy. Rashad Bateman, he missed the first like five, six games, then he was out there. But then Lamar was getting him that ball and throwing him that ball, but the Lamar guy hurt. That was that. Well, Hollywood, Hollywood was out there. That's Lamar's guy. Well, Lamar was out there, Hollywood getting them numbers. Lamar went out, Hollywood numbers all dropped. So yeah. So with the wide receiver and the opportunities, it's, we really, we haven't seen consistency in their opportunities. And there's been a lot that's happened that sort of derailed their opportunities, whether it be a coaching decision, whether it be an injury, whether it be whatever. So it's really hard to really gauge how much opportunity they've truly gotten. But yeah, it is important that they make the most of it, but it's important that you even get one in the first place, you even get a shot in the first place. So it's tricky with them. Now, again, I still want them to add a wide receiver. Anyway, he said, if Torrey Smith didn't make the most of his opportunity, do you think they would give him a big role, give him as big of a role that he had? Yeah, Torrey Smith, injury, injury, throw him in there. Lee Evans, they traded for Lee Evans from the Bills. Lee Evans was out there the first game, then he got hurt. Insert Torrey Smith, week two, he's a starter against the Rams in St. Louis, three touchdowns. First three catches of his career, all touchdowns. Three touchdowns. I was like, okay, let's go. And I remember with Torrey Smith, I remember in preseason that year. I remember being so scared like, ooh, this our second round pick from Maryland. Yeah, he's from Maryland, but ooh, yikes. Because in the preseason, he was looking scared, he was dropping passes. They were trying to throw on the screens, he was dropping, I was like, oh, yikes. Ooh, but he's one of those guys that, he may not like studying, but he'll show up for that test. He'll show up for the test. And he did have some drops in regular season and stuff too, but he made a lot of big plays for the Ravens. A lot, a lot of pass and offenses too, but a lot of big plays for the Ravens. He said, people want us to stop doubting our receivers, but they haven't shown us much of anything. Our current wide receivers on the roster combined for three touchdowns in all of 2021. Devon Duvenay, he caught the one in the back of the end zone with one hand, Rashad Bateman, he should have had another one, but Rashad Bateman, what was his first touchdown at? Ugh, I know he got, I forgot what game it was, but anyway, and who else? I know Devon Duvenay, he recovered that fumble by Tyson Williams for a touchdown. So is that one of the touchdowns you're counting? Cause James Pro Shae, he didn't score a touchdown. Tyler Wildes didn't, is that it? That might, wow. Yeah, could Rashad Bateman caught one? Yeah, I think that might be it. So Rashad Bateman's catch, Devon Duvenay's catch and Devon Duvenay's fumble recovery. Is that really it? No, that can't be it, right? Oh wow, that might be it, unless I'm missing something, y'all let me know if I'm missing something. But he said, sorry for the long statement, I just had it ran a little. Hey, it's all good, well sometimes we all just gotta get it out.
