How can the Ravens fix this offense? If this offense continues to show the same patterns from this year, should Hallbaugh end up being on the hot seat? What are your top positions to upgrade on both offense and defense? These and many, many more questions on this special Patrons Only episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers.  YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's Aang Raven here with another video and another episode of NFL Questions from Subscribers. But this is actually NFL Questions from Patrons, the Patrons Only edition of NFL Questions from Subscribers. We're still going to do the regular edition too, so don't worry, have no fear. But we had to give a special shout out to the Patrons, so I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. And they, of course, like any regular NFL Questions from Subscribers, they continue to bring fire and they ask them hard-hitting questions that we all want the answers to. Or we all want to talk about, because I may not even have all the answers. I don't have all the answers, but I know a lot of team keep it clean does. But anyway, I love y'all. Thank you for supporting the channel. We just dropped a new episode of the team keep it clean podcast. The link to that is in the description. If you yourself want to become a patron, the link to that is in the description. Merch is in the description. You need a mask is in the description. It's so much that's in the description. So don't forget to check out the description. We got a lot of good questions as always. Let's just do it. So the first question on this patron-only edition of Questions from Subscribers came from Forrest. My cousin. This is family. He said, same question I've asked every season since long before Flacco. The team consistently shows up on defense and special teams. Boom. It's clear that a big fundamental core of the Ravens' ability to win is the ability to kick successful field goals and Tucker's misses definitely didn't help. Looking back, our special teams kept us in the game when we didn't have an offense. So the big hole again comes to offense. This is kind of going to be a two-part question. How do we fix the offense? When we end up behind, we seem to not be able to catch up as we are a run heavy team which helps Lamar do exactly what he does. But at this point, it looks like we don't have enough weapons. So do we need to go after a young wide receiver fast and being able to learn good routes or a veteran wide receiver to help patch the issue so that we can close the games out and be that dominating force. It can't keep being said that the Ravens offense just doesn't show up for big games. And the stats say it can't just be Lamar for those already calling to get a new quarterback. So, all right, let's start for the first question. He said, how do we fix the offense? Well, to fix the offense, my opinion, I think they should have went in a different direction at offensive coordinator, like I've expressed a lot. I just, I don't feel like with Greg Roman, you know who he is. He's shown you who he is already with every single team that he's been at. He has a history and that history has continued to repeat itself over and over and over. And I don't like the excuse that people say, oh, well, man, if we get a new offensive coordinator, then the team is going to have to learn a whole new system. No, man, they can do that. You saw what the Browns did. You saw that.  So I would, that was what I would have said, but it doesn't look like we're going to go in that direction. But so if Greg Roman is staying, then they just, they do need that veteran pass catcher, just one and not an old veteran, somebody in their prime. Because having somebody that's respected by defenses will go such a long way for the receivers for Hollywood, for whatever the receiver it would be that we picked up for Lamar Jackson, it would go a long way. Also the offensive line, the interior of the offensive line, obviously got Ronnie Stanley. He's locked up. Orlando Brown Jr. He's not locked up and I don't really think he will get that extension. I would love if he did, but I just, I don't see them paying both tackles, premium tackle money, but we'll see. You never know. But they, they got to fix the interior of that offensive line. And then the, the, the play calling and the play, the schemes that it just has to be better. It has to be better. And this is something that we've all been talking about even before all the videos or the breakdowns where everybody was looking over the Ravens passing concepts and was like, what is this? Like this is, this is not anything new, but those guys like a Kurt Warner, like a Steve Smith senior, like an old son of a, they just brought it to light even more than it was already brought to light. But they just really put it on front street because you got some really credible names out there calling out the, the team. And another thing I think too has to happen. Harbaugh, I think Harbaugh needs to be a little bit more humble. I really do. And I don't even say that as a shot at Harbaugh or anything. I just think he needs to be a bit more humble because with Harbaugh, if, if he has, and I know nobody likes when people call them out or something like that. But if he has all these people saying, and not that just because somebody is calling somebody else out and it makes it true, but we all know that it's true because at the press of the other day, the reporters were asking about the passing concepts and they even mentioned Kurt Warner and Steve Smith seeing his name and stuff. And Harbaugh, he just kind of shrugged it off like, oh, no, I think everything is fine. No, it's not. It's really not. So it would take some humility on Harbaugh's part to be willing to address the issue and hopefully behind the scenes, maybe that was just him putting on for the press and maybe behind the scenes. He's doing something. Hopefully, hopefully, I can't really say that I am that confident in it, but hopefully because that that it needs to be addressed me. We got I know a lot of people were like, oh, man, well, with Greg Roman, he's so good in the run scheme in run scheming and all that, we should get it like a passing game coordinator. We got that already. We got that. So I just it just has to be addressed. It has to be fixed whether Greg Roman is going to be working all this offseason on stuff. If they bring in like an offensive consultant or some like, I just. I don't know, man. It's this thing is just boy. Mm hmm. And he also said when we end up behind, we seem to not be able to catch up as we are run heavy team. See, I don't like that. I don't. I disagree with that. We've seen the Ravens come from behind even this year, but they just haven't closed it out. But they've had a lot of chances. If they go down, they've had a lot of chances to come back. It's just it's not even that the Ravens can't come back. It's just the offensive inconsistencies. That's it. Just the offensive inconsistencies as a whole not being able to finish. Sometimes it'll be Lamar making a big mistake. Other times it'll just be the schemes that we the lack of use of our weapons because we as I would love to get that veteran wide receiver. Y'all know that. But then you got to think about it, too. Like Ravens have had they they had enough last year to get they just didn't use it. So if they got a veteran wide receiver, they forked up some cash to get that veteran wide receiver in their prime, which I don't expect. But it would force them to use him. And he being good and being in his prime, he would force the Ravens to use him. Like what there is, Brian, he wasn't in his prime, but it's crazy because at the game, I think it was against the Titans. He had looked like our best receiver that day. He had looked like our best not to play off game, the regular season game. There's Brian had looked like our best receiver that day. And this was this dude. I think he like his second game with the team, something like that. But they didn't use there's Brian. He was hardly on the field, hardly on the field. And there's Brian and somebody that got the experience. He still had a little burst. He wasn't like fast another, but there's Brian was never really that fast. But he still had a lot that they didn't use. And it was sometimes where Lamar did miss him when he would be open. But there were not many opportunities for Lamar to even miss him because he was barely on the field. Devin Duvenay, the Ravens Jet Sweep King. That's all they're using for. Then the return game and on Jet Sweeps. And then toward the end of the season, when Pro Shade was inactive on part return. That's nice using them on special teams. They love it. And he did good there. He looked comfortable. But when he was on offense, okay, Jet Sweep, that's it. Got to get him involved, man. Got to scheme this guy into the game because Devin Duvenay, you could tell, especially when he's in a return game, when he's returning them kicks and stuff and even the punts, he's special, man. The guys, the guys, he's strong and fast. So I know whenever we would do a deep play. Oh, a deep play is all only Hollywood. That's it. Hardly ever Devin Duvenay. The only one I remember going to Devin Duvenay, well, it was two. One was in the Steelers game, the Steelers game at M&T Bank Stadium, where he called like, it's toward the end of the game where he called like a 45-yard bomb. And then another one was in the Titans game. I think that was at the Titans game. Yeah, I think it was the Titans game where he was going to the outside, but Lamar ended up throwing it inside and the Titans ended up picking it off. And those are the only two deep passes I remember going to Devin Duvenay. That's it. That's it. So it's just like Raven's got these guys, but they just don't use these guys. So that can be very frustrating. And then he said, so do we need to go after the young wide receiver? Oh, okay. So I guess we pretty much answered that second question in the first part. And he said it can't keep being said that the Ravens offense just don't show up for big games. And the stats say it can't just be Lamar for those already calling to get a new quarterback. So yeah, you're right. They got to fix this issue. And it's been a Ravens issue for a long time about it's always a Ravens offense. That's always what the problem is. It's never the defense, but Ravens really, they really need to invest in building this offense. Next question came from a boy, Harry H. He said, who should be in charge of hiring a new offensive coordinator? John Harbaugh or H. DeCosta? DeCosta.  Let's just go ahead and get into that part. Breeze and I will say that is because with John Harbaugh, he would not want to bring it on anybody. And he has not brought on anybody that could possibly threaten his position, who he wouldn't bring anybody on who could possibly end up, if they force Harbaugh out, that person could end up stepping up and being the head coach.  So I feel like it's the guys that he's brought in. Again, Greg Roman, and Harbaugh and company, they have to have known his history. They have to have seen that. So it's like with Greg Roman, he's a guy that never been a head coach before. Been an offensive coordinator, never been a head coach before. Been an offensive coordinator though. So like, okay, cool. And we know your limitations and whatnot, but we're gonna bring you on as our run game coordinator, which he was that couple of years ago, then Marty Moneweg was out, Greg Roman was in, or Greg Roman was up, and that was it. But I feel like it should be Eric DeCosta. And with Eric DeCosta, I would love for him to bring in somebody that like really go off the walls with this one. Go outside of the box. Go outside of the box. I mean, it's not gonna happen, but if it did happen, I would love for it to be just somebody outside the box completely. I don't feel like Harbaugh should be in charge of that. Because yeah, again, just the threat. The threat, he wouldn't want the threat to be there. So then his next question, he said, and if John Harbaugh doesn't get rid of Greg Roman, should he be fired along with Roman when we have the same issues? And look what he put it, the wording of this is very interesting because he said, when we have the same issues, when we have the same issues. I really hope that you're wrong. I really hope you are. I really do. I seriously do. I really hope you're wrong. But if this team continues to do the same thing, I think they should. Reason being, I know somebody brought out an example that the Eagles, they just fired Doug Peterson. He just went to Super Bowl, what way you read more recent than Ravens did. That was like, what, three years ago? Something like that? Super recent. But one of my biggest things with John Harbaugh, cause he is the leader. He is the leader of this team. It is his team. My big, one of the biggest things with him is, he, this team, they, especially the past two years, they have been way too talented to be going out the way that they've been going out. I understand you can't win the Super Bowl every single year. I don't expect that, unless I was a Patriots fan. But I don't expect that. You cannot win the Super Bowl every single year. You can't be in the Super Bowl every single year. I get that. Some games, you're gonna lose sometimes, it happens. But, 2018, cool, Lamar's rookie year, I don't expect that. I don't expect that. But, 2018, cool, Lamar's rookie year, cool, past. I get your pass for that, even though in that game it was terrible coaching, terrible coaching. But in these last two playoff games, man, the last two playoff games that they lost last year, coming into this thing, 14 and two, 14 and two, you're the number one seed. And the way that they lost, uh-uh, that can't happen. If you, cause I, and no disrespect to the title, if you're gonna lose, you're gonna lose, but the way that they lost, like no fight, no heart, and completely flipping the script on what they normally do, uh-uh. So then this year, they go out there, do their thing, they beat the Titans. Oh, we finally got that first playoff in a little more. So then, it was interesting because I was like, there's no way that this happens. There's absolutely no way. Because when I was on Buffalo Fanatics page, or maybe when he was on here, I know Rico mentioned that he was like, well, he's like, do you think that it could be possible that the Ravens, they used all their energy, they put everything towards getting that first playoff win. And they put that, they invested everything into that first playoff win. But then after that, they may come out flat. And boy, I was like, no way, no way. But they came out flat. They came out flat. And they just kept coming up short. Now I understand John Harbaugh, he doesn't kick the kicks. John Harbaugh doesn't make the throws. But it just, it starts with Hobbs, man. And with him, he is a direct reflection of this team. And it's up to him to put these guys in the best position to succeed, to have these guys fighting, to really have these guys in these things, man. And a lot of the decision making, mostly with the offense, with the coordinators, with who you choose to have in the games involved in the game planning, whatnot. I just, the way that these dudes been going out, it's bad, man. And I know they've been making the playoffs, it's cool, that's great. That's great. But they gotta find a way to put up a better fight than what we've been seeing. Cause like I said, if they would have lost, and I know the game, not necessarily that it was closer than it looked, but I know it's obviously some game-changing plays that occurred. But just looking at a lot of the game plan, and again, it doesn't take away from what happened. Justin Tucker, those two miss field goals, they on him. That is on him. Lamar Jackson at pick six, he just locked on the Mark Andrews. That's on him. That is on him. But there was some other times like, I remember, wow. It was a third, and they did a RPO and Lamar Keeper. I'm like, what are we doing? It was, I think it was like third and 11, or third and like, third and long, man. I was just, I was very disappointed. But a lot of our, again, our offensive struggles, they come from just the offensive court and again. You can't, you know who he is. You know who he is. But you're still rolling with him. You know, again, top, top rushing offense. Bottom passing offense. Everywhere he goes. Everywhere he goes. And you got a brand new franchise quarterback. And this guy saved your job, and you don't want to repay him in a better way. This guy saved your job. He saved you. We know you would have gotten another job like that. But he saved you. So it's time for hardball to save him. Next question came from a boy, King Lou. He said, good afternoon. With the recent departures of the coaching changes on our defense, assuming Greg Roman gets canned, who would be your ideal offensive coordinator? Yeah, he's not looking like he's getting canned. But just somebody, somebody young that doesn't have much tape, or maybe any tape with an NFL offense. Maybe somebody who's a QB coach. Well, you said ideal. I will go for Eric B. Enemy, man, because he finds a way to get it out of his offensive players, like all of them. Everybody's a weapon. Everybody. And you see the way he's been doing it for the past couple of years. You see it, we all see it. But so it will be Eric B. Enemy. And I feel like he, and I watched him talk the other day. And I was like, man, he just seems so likable, man. It just, I don't know. They just seem so likable. But he will be somebody that will be able to relate to the players. And I feel like he'll just be able to get, get a lot more out of the guys, even before the Raven even signed anybody. Before they even signed, drafted anybody. Just seeing the way that Chief's offense does. And I know Andy Reader's obviously a big part of it as well. But I just, somebody who's going to really maximize the talent that we already have on the roster. That's what we need. And maybe even one of Lamar's old offensive coordinators from college is like somebody that's really going to maximize and not just rely on Lamar's leg talent. We know he can do that. We know he can run. But somebody that's really going to use that on. That's, that's what I would say. And then he also said, can Devon Duvenay have a future as a slot receiver? I've seen videos of him in Texas and man, it's annoying we don't utilize him. Funny you mentioned that. Yeah, Devon Duvenay, I expect him to be the replacement for Willie Snead. I expect him to be that. But we'll see how everything shakes out. But I think that's what he was brought in to do and to be. Be the, when Willie Snead, since his contract is getting ready to expire, then I expected him to be that guy, to fill in that role. Because Willie Snead is a veteran there. But with Devon Duvenay, he's a young guy and he's a little, seems a little bit stronger and definitely faster than Willie Snead. So I expect him to replace him there. And also he said, who would be your two, your top two offensive positions to upgrade on offense and defense? Okay, so your top two positions to upgrade on offense and defense. In particular, if you can name those top two players you would upgrade to an offense and defense for next season. Top two positions to upgrade on offense and defense. Offense, I would say center. And I will go, I will go in house with Tristan Cologne-Casteel. Now with Pat McCarty, see the thing with him, I know a lot of people saying we need to replace him.  But I would let, and he did, he had a very, very bad game against the Bills. Very bad game against the Bills. But it's not like he's been bad throughout. He hasn't been bad throughout. He's very bad against the Bills but it wasn't a reoccurring thing. Yeah, it reoccurred over and over in that Bills game but it wasn't a reoccurring thing throughout the season. So I will let him and Tristan Cologne-Casteel battle it out. Cause again, when Tristan Cologne-Casteel had that amazing game against the Steelers, amazing game, I was like, hey, that should be the guy. He needs to be the guy. But I will love if they let them battle it out. So center and then wide receiver, wide receiver. Wide receiver, Allen Robinson will be nice. I don't see it happening. Corey Davis, I don't know about him. I'm just, if you're having okay, but I'll be okay. Well, he just asked me who would be my tie. I'll say Allen Robinson. So Allen Robinson and either and let Tristan Cologne-Casteel fight for that center spot. And on defense, defense is safety. But who would be that true, a true free safety? But I would say also interior defensive lineman or pass rusher. Somebody who can maybe both of those things, actually. Cause DeSean Elliott and Chuck Clark, they weren't the best, but they certainly weren't the worst. But yeah, probably a pass rusher and an interior defensive lineman that would actually get some pressure, like consistent pressure, who that would be no clue. But I think that that could go such a long way because our pass rusher was just struggled all season long, all season long, even in the playoffs too, it just, it struggled. There were some games where they went off like against the Eagles, but against a really bad offensive but they just all season long. It just, it was rough, man. So that's what I would say for the upgrade. Next question came from a boy Jerome W. He said, I'm not one to call for Harbaugh's job anytime the team underperforms, but given his recent comments about Greg Roman being around next season, if the team doesn't improve next year, or dare I say it, misses the playoffs. Do you think Harbaugh will be looking for another job? So many from inside and outside the organization have spoken about how bad the offense is and his loyalty to Roman seems defiant to say the least. You may think this is wild, but before Billik was fired, he had several underwhelming seasons before that 2006 division around loss. The 2007 season, Billik's last, the team was just bad, losing to that almost winless Dolphins team and they fired their offensive coordinator then too. So with this history and the team's performance under Harbaugh since 2012 taken into account, do you think the Ravens will have a new, younger head coach following the 2021 season if the decision to keep Roman results in an underwhelming season? There are so many parallels from back then to now. As always, keep up the amazing work. Love the content. Appreciate it, Jerome. That's a really good question. So if the Ravens fail again this year, will Harbaugh lose his job? It's very tough because you just, with Harbaugh you just almost feel like he's like invincible with the Ravens. You almost feel like he's almost untouchable. I know technically he's not, but it's time man. They really like, I just, I think that Greg Roman thing was such a big mistake. Like continuing to hold on to him. I think it's such a big mistake. I just feel like they would be better served just going in a different direction. But now it's with Harbaugh doing that, it has to be on him too. And I mean, it should have been on him as well, but it has to be on him now too. With him deciding to retain Greg Roman. If the offense continues to do what they've been doing, rushing the ball, great, but passing the ball, yeah. If they continue to do that, it has to be on him too. He has, because he's ultimately responsible for it. Because he made a decision to stick with who they have. He made that decision. It's been two years. But so he's seen it. He's seen it, he's seen it from jump. And so the follow-up, so he's seen it, but he just, it's his decision. So whatever goes down, he needs to be responsible for it. It has to. And it could end up being one of them things. I just, it's crazy because I know that there've been a lot of people, and I was just talking to my guy, Josh, about this yesterday. There've been a lot of people saying, oh man, no, they shouldn't fire Greg Roman. They should keep him. Give him another chance, let the offense grow, let them develop, give them that consistency. But if you recall, with the Ravens, they had consistency on offense. They had that same offensive coordinator for Joe Flacco, first four, four and a half seasons, Cam Cameron. He's with Joe Flacco from jump. And remember the Super Bowl year, they had a winning record. He still had a winning record. And they had been to playoffs and playoffs and playoffs and play, they had to continue to go to the playoffs under Cam Cameron, kept going to the playoffs, even made it to the AFC Championship game the year before and lost it by a miss field goal. So they had, they had way more success than the Ravens have had recently. What did they do with their offensive coordinator? Got rid of them, middle of the season. Middle of the season got rid of Cam Cameron. They still got rid of them. So it's not crazy to think that the Ravens should have gotten rid of Greg Roman. It's not crazy to think that. They did it already and they had success. So what's the problem now? It shouldn't be one, there shouldn't have been one. So to anybody that said, oh, it's crazy that that's crazy talk to get rid of Greg Roman. No, it's not. It's not. And not at all. Now, again, it's not looking like it's happening now, but if they would have done it, I mean, this whole thing is just crazy, it's frustrating because you just, you look at the team and you think like, man, these guys got so much potential. And you're thinking like, man, these guys, oh yeah. It's at least AFC championship. That's how I was feeling this year. But I was thinking really Super Bowl. But man, at the least AFC championship, at the least. Nope. Then last year, oh, last year, definitely thing in Super. Last year for sure. For sure, 14 and two overall. Nothing. Nothing. Anyway, next question came from a boy, John R. He said, so we need to send it this off season. Do we draft one or grab one in free agency or trade for one? None of the above. You go with your guy, Tristan. Like I said, let him battle it out with Patrick McCarty. Let, I say Tristan though, man. I say, I don't even think you gotta look anywhere. Tristan, Tristan, Tristan, Tristan, Calon Castillo. I'm rolling with him. And the last question on this special Patrons only episode of question from subscribers came from my boy, Cameron. And he said, engraving, what it do? Prayed it all as well with you and the family. Glad to see the channel continuing to grow. Keep doing your thing, bro. I can't speak for everyone, but I know I appreciate and enjoy the consistent content. I appreciate that, Cam. Thank you. Woof. All right, here we go. He said, I've had some time to think about the Bill's divisional game and I'll try to keep this part concise.  We can move the ball, but the execution when it mattered most was the difference in this game. Lamar made mistakes, appeared to have jitters and made one terrible, terrible decision resulting in an NFL postseason record pick six. Huge momentum shift right there. That's very true. And it's so out of character for Lamar. That's very true. His worst decisions are most often taking unnecessary sex. That's also true. I talked with Josh Hoffman a little today in the YouTube chat and he brought out a great point. Lamar has been dealing with this offensive line the entire year and he's overshadowed them for the most part. But as an offensive lineman for 18 years, they got to have enough pride and fortitude to help him out. The offense goes as Lamar goes, true. But Lamar can also only go as far as offensive line goes. True. Lamar shouldn't have to overshadow them with his mobility. Yes, agreed. Maybe if he didn't have the jitters, the outcome would have been different. Also, maybe if the old line held up better Sunday, the outcome would have been different. Now real quick, as we continue going over this question, the offensive line has been, it's been a big yikes all year. Even when Ronnie Stanley, when he was still there, even when Nick Boyle was still, the offensive line has been a big yikes. And we've seen just, even last year, it wasn't as big of a yikes, but it was a bit overrated. The loss of Marsha Yanda was huge. So that made this offensive line that was a big yikes, even a yike-ier. But with Lamar Jackson, yeah, he does cover a lot of that stuff up. He covers a lot of that stuff up with his ability. But when you consistently get pressure, the QB clock, it goes off a lot sooner than it should. Cause even when you're not facing pressure, you could actually, like Lamar has done plenty of times, he will run into pressure. Take unnecessary sacks, like my guy came and said. So that's on Lamar, that's also on the offensive line, cause that's where it starts. That's where it starts. But anyway, he said, yeah, maybe if the offensive line held up at a Saturday, the outcome would have been different. Best case scenario. However, Lamar, go do you in offensive line, be better, please, LOL. The offensive line irritated me, something serious in this game. I won't even go into detail. I'm a trench guy. The lack of effort and the bad snaps can take me down a rabbit hole that Team Keep It Clean ain't got time for. Believe me, LOL. We need to get Stanley back. Move Orlando back to right tackle. Knowing that he can play both sides efficiently and address right guard and center if we don't give Tristan, Colin Castillo a shot, okay, my God. He gets it, okay, he's on the Tristan train. All right, let's go, man. He said immediately, watching Ryan Jensen play against the Saints, maybe miss him daily. Oh man, yeah, Ryan Jensen went, when he finally got his shot and he stepped up and showed out. And we knew that he wasn't coming back. And that's how it was with Matt Scurra, too. And I know toward the end of the, well not the end of the season, but toward the end of the last time that he started, it wasn't going so well, but from the jump, I said to Matt Scurra, he not gonna be back because he's gonna price himself out. He said, Justin Tucker missing those field goals, wearing an anomaly. And I wouldn't even worry about them unless we saw a trend with this upcoming season. True, he's a perfectionist. I did, don't expect that to happen again. Defense played lights out in my opinion, held a hot Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs and company to only 10 points. It's true, amazing. I mean, the touchdown that they did get was a big yikes, the three on two. But anyway, yeah, they did pretty good. That says a lot. Coming into this game, I was more worried about our defense slowing down this air raid, but overall I was wrong. Me too, I agree. I agree, cause I was feeling like the offense was just gonna be able to do their thing against these builds, but I was worried about the defense, Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs and deep passes and but yeah, we were all wrong. They did a great job containing the builds despite not forcing the turnover. Ooh, that's a really good point. Diggs got his, we knew he'd get his, but everyone else didn't contribute much. John Brown was there to convert a few first downs, but overall stellar job by the defense. I agree. With the builds playing a lot of zone, I can undoubtedly say that they capitalize on Greg's elementary passing schematics that Kurt Warner exposed in his YouTube video. Concerned the run game, he's intuitive and creative. It's only a concern when he starts trying to get too pretty. Yeah, you are just on it. He said, concern the pass game. Like season senior said, elementary to say it best. My fifth graders had more concrete pass concepts this year, LOL. As fans, we sit and sometimes wonder why Lamar holds on to the ball. He can throw it away or he can take off, but if we think about Greg's passing concepts, can you imagine how many times Lamar would ideally throw the ball away if he didn't hold on to it? I wonder he has to play backyard ball so much. It also makes me look at him calling plays from the wristband with a completely different perspective. Man, that call ain't it. Hey, huddle up. I got to play. Lamar is literally the Raven Superman. And I'm starting to fall under the idea that the chiefs isn't the Ravens Kryptonite. Lamar's Kryptonite might just be Greg Roman himself. With the way Greg has coordinated this offense, we hardly have to worry about the ground game. However, if Greg doesn't involve his passing concepts or if he's not held in check by the head coach, whether it's halves of someone else with an offensive mind, oh, I see what you did there. I don't think we'll get a chance to see Lamar truly flourish. Yeah, that's kind of scary. Lamar can flourish as a passer, just go back and look at his way, look at the way his offense was ran at Louisville. Oh, excuse me, at Louisville. Finally, to my question, oh, we made it. He said, if you were in EDC shoes, what moves would you make this all season? Both, generally and to remember the builds and build. And that's a good question because this season, when we said it from jump, talked about it from the very beginning. This season, the way that they built the team, it was remember the Titans. That's what it was about. It was remember the Titans and they played these guys twice. And for seven quarters, for seven quarters, they locked Derek Henry down. For seven quarters. Now that one quarter in the end of the regular season game, they just stopped. But they accomplished the way that they built it. They accomplished the mission. It was remember the Titans. Shout out to my guy JT. They remember the Titans. They got that, but now, yeah, it is remember the builds. So if I was EDC, if I was in EDC shoes, what move would I make this season? Greg Roman will be out of there. He'll be out of there. And with Hobbs, whoo. With Hobbs, I would give him one more shot but with my own offensive coordinator. I know we couldn't get Eric being to me. He ain't making no lateral move. I know we couldn't do that. I've seen a lot of people talking about Doug Peterson, but I would just, like I said, I would go for somebody who that would be, not sure, but somebody young, again, who can more so really relate to the players a lot more. And just somebody who's, there's not a lot of film on. There's not a lot of film on them. Give somebody a shot and just say, hey, find out what are you gonna do? And look at people who they've worked with in the past to see if they've really worked with those dual threat quarterbacks. But somebody that wouldn't even come into this thing, being like, oh yeah, Lamar, we know he can run, run, run, but no, somebody that's really gonna get the most out of him and the most out of our weapons on offense. And just really, really, like you said, make Lamar flourish, let him flourish as a quarterback, not even as an athlete, because those players are gonna come. The players where he takes off, they're gonna happen. They're gonna happen. And like I said, I feel like some of the best times was when it's a passing play and it breaks down. And he's like, okay, you know what, I'm outta here. But somebody that's really gonna get the most out of him, man, the way that we see it every week, especially when they do that, one of the plays that I hate the most, even when it works sometimes, one of the plays that I hate the most is when that Lamar keeper, when he rolls out, when he rolls out to the right. And I just, I hate it, man. It's so annoying, but that's what I would do. And on defense, well, got some holes to feel on defense now that all them coaches are gone. But it's, what else would I do? That would be the biggest thing would be me focusing on offense and trying to get that guy at wide receiver, like really trying to get that guy. It has been just a very rocky road. I would just really just try to change the, just change the Ravens, man, on offense. Just change the mentality and invest in the offense. That's the best way that I can put it. Invest in the offense, really invest in the offense. Through the draft, building up the interior of the offensive line, through free agency, finding that guy at a wide receiver and adding a tight end, a dynamic pass, catching tight end. And that can be free agency or the draft. That can be either one. And then just really building up that offense, man. That'd be the biggest thing. And just getting guys that are just walls to block for Lamar Jackson, to where if he does want to run, it's not because there was a break.  They're gonna mess up sometime. I know that. But getting guys that just have a pedigree and a history of just not allowing pressure. And with Ronnie Stanley and Orlando Brown Jr., we'd be set there. Bradley Bozeman, we're good there. But as center, I would be leaning more toward Tristan Cologne Castillo, but I would make it a competition in training camp. And I might even draft a center too. Just to have that depth, depth. I may even draft a center too. Just to really, really bring in that competition. Cause competition, it'll bring the best out of whoever it's gonna be. But yeah, so that's what I would do. Really invest in the offense. Like really. Then he said, my takes, either Harbaugh needs to let Greg go or Harbaugh needs to go. One or the other. No more hashtag hood Harbaugh in terms of developing this team. We need more of an offensive mind calling plays on the offense, not just to run Guru. I love Harbs and he's about the culture, but I don't think the culture would leave with him. If we could snag Eric B. Enemy for head coach, if Harbs would somehow let go, I'd be for it. And you know what's funny? I seen a lot of people recently, especially yesterday. I'm recording this on what day this today. Today is Friday the 22nd. But I remember yesterday on the 21st, a lot of people were like, with Eric B. Enemy, they were like, man, they were like, hopefully he'll still be around next year. Hopefully you don't get no head coach opportunities next year.  But anyway, anyway, he said, where is it? Okay. Harbs with no head coaching experience. Oh, if we could snag Eric B. Enemy for head coach, if Harbaugh would somehow let go, I'd be for it. It'd be the same as when we brought in Harbs with no head coaching experience, but we have to invest in Lamar in this offense. That's a really good point as well because again, a lot of people, they try to run that same argument. Oh, if you get rid of Harbaugh, then who's gonna be better to replace him? Who is better to replace Billick? People weren't jumping and screaming for Harbaugh. It just worked out. They gave him an opportunity. He took it and ran with it and it worked out. So again, the same can be said about John Harbaugh. If John Harbaugh is out, who's gonna be in? Oh, are you giving somebody a shot? Are you giving somebody an opportunity? So you just had to see how it works out. Because it's not set in stone that a guy with a proven track record will come in here and it will work. And it's not set in stone that somebody who doesn't have any track record or experience would not work. You just gotta see. Now, of course, you make your judgments based off of their track record, based off of their history and based off of how you feel they can do for you and your team, but nothing set in stone. Anyway, he said, bringing an offensive minded head coach and barring Harbaugh's let go would spark that, would spark that. Even if Harbaugh stayed as head coach, EDC needs to force a change at offensive coordinator. Invest in Le Mans so he can grow is the goal. Greg Roman has outgrown his time in Baltimore unless he's demoted back down to run game coordinator.   I understand the concern about Bobby Petrino's NFL exit when Vic left the league, but I'd have to argue that it'd be extremely worthwhile to have Bobby Petrino coaching Le Mans and being in charge of the offense. He got the most out of him in college. Why would anyone think he couldn't do it again? The offensive line has to be addressed as well. In particular, the interior. I haven't watched enough college ball this year to see who was some goons in the trenches, but I'll be looking for two things. Dog mentality and how good of a pass protector they are. In my opinion, it's easier to be a role greater than it is to be sliding wall and pass protection. Oh, he getting into the real offensive linemen stuff. Now you can see that, that offensive linemen mentality coming out. There's a lot more technique and skill involved in pass blocking. And if we want to show up this offensive line for Le Mans, we need to have better protection in the middle. Right now I send my best pass rushers up the middle for Le Mans and have athletic ends contain. The worst is to have pressure up the middle and you can't escape because the contains are on their job. We need to stop trying for a wide receiving just make it happen. I may be in a minority here, but here's my thoughts. I love Snead, but honestly, what can he do that that Duvenay can't? Let him walk and let that open up space for EDC to grab a veteran like Alan Robinson, Kenny Galladay. I don't trust our wide receiver coaches to develop wide receivers. So I'd say avoid them in the draft. We have other pressing needs, interior offensive linemen and true edge rushers. Sign there as to another one of your deal and actually use them situationally. Again, another area that Greg Roman didn't utilize. There's impact on this wide receiver room was instant. He's the mentor we needed for our young wide receivers. Not drafting any more wide receivers this year and changing offensive coordinators will give our young talent a real opportunity to grow. Look at how much AA developed throughout the season from hands on the job training. Anthony Averett. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Edge Russia is simple. We need to get someone that is going to be a one-on-one problem, period. Someone who is going to be a menace and force teams to know where he is. Pressure isn't enough in today's NFL. We need someone who can consistently finish. Consistency is the key. I have no clue who to let walk, sign, or draft. Yannick got a lot of pressure and I thought he'll be able to create opportunities for others to finish, but we see that wasn't the case. Two other areas that I like to see depth added as free safety, another true nickel slot corner. Man, I just, my thinking is his thinking. I definitely in tune with this thinking that he's everything, like, I love it. Two other areas that I like to see depth added is that free safety, another true nickel slot corner. This isn't to say that the Joker needs to be replaced, he did his thing this year. He was better than expected in my eyes. Chuck is good in zone, not man. He's just not fast enough. If we're going to continue with this blitz scheme, we need Jimmy to be the strong safety when Wink is sending man blitzes. Jimmy could be the tight end antidote we've been looking for.  I'd rather him have him one-on-one with a tight end as opposed to Chuck Clark, I agree. I just think that the Joker will be better suited for strong safety or box safety in our scheme. Yep, I've been saying the same exact thing. That's just, I feel like Joker would do great at that strong safety, box safety role, I do agree. And he said, I like a rangy free safety that's like an outfield, a true playmaker in the back end, but not necessarily a priority, I agree. I think if we got a free safety that was like a ballhawk, hard to find them, but hey. And he said, and we know how Tavon Young's pattern is. He's too much like Jimmy Smith, unfortunately true. When healthy, he's a problem for offenses, but that's the issue when he's healthy. But we need to find a true replacement for our nickel slot corner if Tavon continues this trend. All right, pretty sure I got everything off my chest, LOL. Like Dwight said in the office, a great opportunity squandered. Absolutely a crushing blow. Yes, will I get over it? No, but life moves on. We gotta move on and prepare for next season. Live and learn Baltimore Ravens. EDC's offseason goal needs to be hashtag invest in Lamar's success. And yeah, you were spot on in all of that. Cause yeah, they gotta invest in Lamar's success. They invested in beating the Titans. Now it's time to invest in to stop holding yourself back and to stop holding Lamar back and to really get the most out of him, to really put him in the best position to succeed. I don't feel like they've done that, especially with them retaining Greg Roman, but it just, like I was talking to one of my guys yesterday and told him like that, like my expectations for this season, I still feel like they probably get to the playoffs and whatnot, but my expectations are not as high right now. And that's the right now, but they're not as high as they have been, especially the past two years, definitely going into this season. Like going into this season, especially with all the moves that they made and stuff, I was like a Super Bowl, man. Super Bowl, they came away short last year. It, no, Super Bowl, but right now it's like, I don't know, man. We'll see as time continues to go along, we'll see any other moves that the Ravens end up making cause nothing is set in stone, nothing is on lock, but we just, we had to see how everything goes. So anyway, team keeping clean, love y'all patrons, love y'all, this was fire as always. It did go a little bit long, but that's okay, man. That's okay. It's worth it. And we in the off season anyway, so Ravens ain't got nothing going on right now. So we got some extra time. Anyway, just like the Ravens are when it comes to the playoffs, I'm out.


Stop explaining the failure please. Please. Stop explaining the failure. The problem is not explaining what is happening. The problem is seeking for the insight, the awareness that can take your family from that guagma. Young ladies who are not yet married, young men that are not yet married, please. There is a certain threshold you need to get to before you get married. I can guarantee you you are not there you will suffer. Listen, it's not a curse. It's a fact of life.


So, PDAC 2024, Matthew Stevens, you've decided to move into Rare Earths. You have had a successful career. Why would you do this? Excellent. Excellent luck, really. I've always been a geologist. I'm a geologist for my background, but I've been in gold-based metals, and I was looking for a potential zinc play. This is back in my days with a company called Urban Gold. I'm from Ottawa, and I was looking around. I knew the Ottawa area, and I knew an old zinc mine in the area, and I was looking for other potential projects there, deposits come in clusters, especially in the base metal sector. Anyway, so I was looking through these old reports in the government database, and usually the – this is Quebec I've been talking about – and the Quebec government database is one of the best in the world, I think, except they make mistakes, they make errors or they miss things, right? So I found this old prospector report, which is probably the worst one I ever read. There's more descriptions in there about what they take for a breakfast each morning than the actual rocks that they looked at, but at the back of the report there's an assay sheet and no zinc, but I saw something called neodymium, dysprosium, and I said, what the heck is neodymium? And I've never worked in rare earths before that, and then I did some research. So what did these values – they seem pretty high, so what did these values mean, and are they good, and sure enough they were good? So we staked it. This is back in 2019, so sat on it, 2021 came around, and then I started looking at it again, and rare earths picked up quite a bit since then, and well, this is actually pretty interesting, so we created a company around this one project. That's how the creation was done, and we were private for about two years. So for everybody out there going neoterics, if you take a look at the market performance since they went public, give us more of an introduction to the company. You're in Quebec, for instance, critical minerals, magnet materials, and you've got numerous projects. Absolutely. Well, rare earths really captured me. I mean, like I said, with gold and base metals and gold, I don't really understand why there's value behind it, and that's a different story, but neodymium, I understood the technology behind it, where it's going to – what the end project is going to be, and I come from a family where – call it a green family. My brother literally works for Greenpeace, and I've always been the bad mining guy in the family, the black sheep, if you will. And then I started looking at this new denium and what it's used for, the green energy. It's a strategic mineral in a different sense, but the green energy really interested me. And I saw – I mean, I don't want to talk bad about other countries, but I saw how things were mined in other countries and not in an environmental way, and also the strategic aspect of it, Canada barely having any of the projects in no production or at the time there was no production. And I said, you know, this could be really interesting, and I can't say I've been ever excited about any mineral as much as neodymium, and the other rare earths as well, but neodymium, I mean, that's what we are, that's what – Well, he keeps saying neodymium, and of course that's one of our favorite topics here at Investor News. What are you planning? You've had a very good start. Excellent milestones. We were very impressed with your company because you've got one of our CMI directors on your board, Alistair Neal. What are you planning this year? So we're going to do our maiden drill program. We were supposed to start already. We got unusual warm weather right now. We're in the southern part of Quebec, so there's barely any snow left, and we're going to end up with a sort of a muddy situation. So we don't want to destroy all the trails. There's really good access there, but we don't want to destroy all the trails and roads that lead up to the project. So we're just going to wait a few weeks, and hopefully the weather stays warm, and it dries up in there. And so we're planning right now mid to end of March, and hopefully – it's a small program. This is our maiden drill program. It's – we're doing about 2,000 meters. We're going to go in there right on the main showing, which we call King. We had extremely good values at surface, and we just want to make sure those values repeat themselves at depth, basically, and how long, deep the system goes. Like I said, the very initial program, we're just going to touch the surface, and then that successful will follow up with a larger drill program that sort of ends up – end of summer, basically. Well, I've taken some time to look at your powerpoint, and you have some very good capital market players on your team. Will you be doing any M&A's? Are you thinking about that at all? You're a very good, prominent geologist, and a well-known member of our community. Are you planning on considering that?  Well, we're fully cashed up, so I'm not planning any financings. The only financing that we're considering would be strategic partners. Rare is a – even though it's very attractive – it's a complicated market, especially downstream, processing a lot more steps than, say, gold, for example. And very few strategic partners, at least right now in the market, compared to other sectors. So if a person or a group comes into North America, which is starting to happen right now, like we're a line of corporations, which is probably the biggest rare producer outside of China, is stepping into the U.S. now with a plant in Texas. So we imagine they're going to want some feed for this processing plant. And with very few deposits, only one in production right now in North America, and we hope to approach people like this. And that will be sort of the way of the M&A, basically. Your goals for PDAC. What would you say is your number one goal at PDAC this year? It's – there's – call it different phases. Personal – personally, today, we're Sunday here, there's a lot of talks on rare carbonatites, which we've never seen really at the PDAC. There's been a few in the past, but there's a whole full day to day dedicated on rare. So we'll be – I'll be at all these talks. Fortunately, some of them in different rooms at the same time, so I'll be running around quite a bit. But so that's the first step. Going around to different booths, meeting with different companies, which are very few in the rare sector to see what their projects are, what they're – how to get to the steps they are at. Like I said, we haven't even drilled the property yet, so there's a lot of steps we need to do. And also, we're doing some promotion. We were private for a long time, so we really need for promotion, but now we're public since January. It's time to do promotion and tell the story we have. And so that people not only understand what we have, but also the rare sector, which has always been sort of a nebulous sector for most of the retail market anyways. Well, thank you so much for joining us today. And for everybody interested in finding out more information on Neoterex, please go to their website. Thank you. Great. Thanks, Tracy.
